After Li Xia received the news, she immediately went to look for Old Master Guo to buy this piece of land.
However, building a house also took time, so Li Xia finally decided to move to Li Xiaoran’s family’s house for the time being.
After the house was built, they would move in.
Just like that, the matter of Li Xia’s settlement was resolved.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng calculated the time, they realized that it was about time to head towards the capital.
Shu Ruyue hadn’t fully recovered, but she could sit in a carriage.
Therefore, on a rainy morning, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran left with Zi Cheng, Zi Cheng, Wu Qinghe, and Shu Ruyue.
Shu Ruyue’s house was not far from the capital and was along the way, so she followed them.
After all, Shu Ruyue still needed to go back and recuperate.
She could not stay in the Luo family’s home forever!
Therefore, after thinking about it, she decided to go home first.
Although Wu Qinghe was a little reluctant, he knew that they would eventually part.
Besides, it was not like they could not see each other again after today.
When the matter in the capital was settled, they could still look for Shu Ruyue. The journey was smooth because Luo Cheng had arranged everything in advance.
When they arrived at the capital, it was the day after the general examination.
At this moment, Shu Ruyue had already gone home, so only Zi Cheng, Zi Zheng, and Wu Qinghe were following Luo Cheng.
The five of them were dressed as merchants.
This was the first time Li Xiaoran had come to the capital.
To be honest, Li Xiaoran, who had grown up in the modern world, had seen many big cities and the prosperity of modern society, so she was not surprised by the prosperity of the capital.
However, when Li Xiaoran reached the capital, Li Xiaoran suddenly felt a little dazed.
She wondered if the capital she was in now would still be like the capital she had seen hundreds or thousands of years later.
Time changed things.
Could the space-time she had transmigrated to be the space-time she was in?
No one could answer this question, so Li Xiaoran did not know the answer.
“Madam, what are you thinking about?” Luo Cheng asked when he saw that Li Xiaoran was distracted.
After Li Xiaoran came back to her senses, she shook her head and said, “It’s nothing. I just feel that the capital is very prosperous! I’m amazed!”
Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran, but felt that Li Xiaoran was not telling him the truth.
He was not blind. Li Xiaoran was not amazed at all. Instead, she looked nostalgic. Could it be that she had been to the capital before?
Thinking of something, Luo Cheng asked,
“Have you been to the capital before?”
Li Xiaoran nodded when she heard Luo Cheng’s question.
“I’ve been to the capital in my dreams. Does that count?” Luo Cheng immediately laughed when he heard this.
“Of course it counts!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s answer, he immediately smiled.
How could he have forgotten that Li Xiaoran had the ability to enter dreams? She might have seen the capital through other people’s dreams.
How else could she explain the fact she knew a lot of things that none of them knew?!
“By the way, husband, where are we staying?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.
At the mention of this, Luo Cheng’s smile gradually faded. Then, he said in a low voice, “Although I’ve already been removed from the family free, my residence from back then is still there. Since my scumbag father wants to cut off my paths, why don’t we stay in the seventh prince’s residence?!” Li Xiaoran frowned when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“Will we have to abide by many rules? Will there be a large number of servants following us?”
Upon hearing Li Xiaoran mention her worries, Luo Cheng smiled again.
“Don’t worry! There are only some people left there to watch over it. There are fewer than ten people, so you don’t have to worry. Besides, you’re the female head of the household, so your words are the rules. As for the royal family, there’s no need to follow their rules. Anyway, we’re not members of the royal family. Just follow your own wishes! I can protect you!”
Li Xiaoran was stunned when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“Husband, you’re the best!” With that, Li Xiaoran kissed Luo Cheng’s cheek. “Let’s go to the prince’s residence! This is the first time I’ve ever lived in a prince’s residence!”
Seeing Li Xiaoran’s excited look, Luo Cheng also became happier.
“Since you’re so excited, let’s go now! Zi Cheng, let’s go to the Seventh Prince’s residence!”
When Zi Cheng, who was driving the carriage outside, heard Luo Cheng’s words, he immediately waved the whip in his hand and drove the carriage towards the Seventh Prince’s residence.
When they arrived at the Seventh Prince’s residence, Li Xiaoran alighted from the carriage and sized up the residence carefully.
It had to be said that although no one had lived in it for many years, the residence still looked very decent.
The clusters of flowers that appeared at the corner of the wall bloomed beautifully.
Zi Zheng walked forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, a deep voice came from inside.
“Who is it?”
“Uncle Qiu, open the door! It’s me, Zi Zheng. Young Master is back!” Zi Zheng replied.
As soon as he said this, hurried footsteps sounded and the door opened.
A middle-aged man with white hair looked at Luo Cheng, who was standing outside the door.
“Seventh Young Master, Seventh Young Master, are you really back?”
When Luo Cheng saw Uncle Qiu’s red eyes, he nodded with a smile and said,
“Uncle Qiu, it’s me. I’m back!”
“Sigh, it’s good that you’re back! I’ll open the door now and welcome you home!” Uncle Qiu said as he quickly opened the door of the residence.
Luo Cheng nodded as he instructed, “Zi Cheng, drive the carriage in through the side door!”
Luo Cheng nodded and drove the carriage to the other side.
Luo Cheng held Li Xiaoran’s hand as he walked in through the door with Zi Zheng and Wu Qinghe.
This scene was witnessed by many people.
In less than 15 minutes, many people in the capital received the news.
The expelled Seventh Prince was back!
There was an uproar in the capital.
As Luo Cheng walked, he introduced the places to Li Xiaoran.
“This is where I used to practice martial arts. Look, these martial arts training stakes are still here!” Luo Cheng saw a wooden stake array under a big tree and thought of something.
“Did you master those martial arts techniques here?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
Luo Cheng shook his head and narrowed his eyes as he said, “I only practice on this martial arts pole when I’m in a bad mood! I practice in order to train my focus and control my emotions!”
