“Then what do you plan to do in the future? Are you still going to follow your martial uncle and junior sister?” Li Xiaoran said as she brought Shu Ruyue into a stall at the side.
They ordered some food and sat down to eat while talking.
“Actually, I’m here to look for you two! I heard about the Seventh Prince and his consort and guessed that it was you two, so I came to seek refuge with you two! Look, you’re alone in the capital now, so there must be many people eyeing you guys with evil intentions. If I follow you, I can protect you!” Shu Ruyue told them her plan.
Shu Ruyue had considered this matter carefully.
She was bored after wandering the martial world alone all these years.
On the other hand, when she followed Li Xiaoran, what she experienced was very exciting.
She had a feeling that as long as she continued to follow Li Xiaoran, her life would definitely be more interesting.
Besides, she and Li Xiaoran were sworn friends, so she wouldn’t have to be afraid of being scammed if she followed her.
When Li Xiaoran thought of her needs, she said happily, “You sure trust me! But speaking of which, I really need you! In the next two days, I have to go to a banquet. I need someone to disguise as my maid and protect me. So, I’ll have to trouble you!”
Shu Ruyue was immediately interested.
“A banquet? Is it held by the families of those rich and powerful officials? Something will definitely happen at such a banquet. No wonder you need someone to protect you! How about this? I definitely don’t have enough manpower alone, so why don’t I call my junior sister along?! This way, with the two of us around, things will be safer!”
“Is your junior good at martial arts?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
“Not only is she good at martial arts, but she also has a good memory. She can remember everything she’s seen. Moreover, she’s very observant and can quickly notice things that others don’t. With her around, we’ll get twice the results with half the effort!” Shu Ruyue said.
“That’s good! As long as your junior sister is willing, I can’t ask for more. Since you’ve helped me, feel free to ask for remuneration!” Li Xiaoran said happily.
Shu Ruyue thought for a moment and said, “I don’t need any remuneration. Just let me follow you and protect you in the future. I’ll ask my junior sister when she comes back.”
Li Xiaoran nodded and took this matter to heart. The two of them separated after eating.
Li Xiaoran told Shu Ruyue her current address.
Ever since Luo Cheng entered the palace, the people secretly watching him already knew that he lived here with her, so there was no need to hide their address.
“Very few people know that we live here. Don’t reveal it!” After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she reminded her.
Shu Ruyue knew the importance of confidentiality.
“Don’t worry, I won’t reveal it! How about this?! Let’s meet again in this shop tomorrow. If my junior sister agrees, we’ll gather again to discuss it!”
Li Xiaoran felt that this was a good idea, so she nodded in agreement.
After she finally found a person to protect her, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as Li Xiaoran was about to go back, Little Quan appeared and stopped her.
“Sister Xiaoran, I’ve been looking for you for many days!”
When Li Xiaoran saw Little Quan appear here, she looked around.
“Little Quan, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?”
“Sister Xiaoran, my parents are at home! These few days, my parents have been looking for you everywhere! I’m really sorry about what happened last time. My parents said that they want to invite you home for dinner!” Little Quan pulled Li Xiaoran’s sleeve and refused to let go.
“Then why didn’t you look for Meng Yan? She could have found me!” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
“We haven’t been able to find Sister Meng Yan these few days! Sister Meng Yan has never told us her address, so I could only come to populated areas to search!” Little Quan explained.
When Li Xiaoran heard Little Quants words, she immediately remembered.
Meng Yan had never revealed where she lived.
She only found Meng Yan by chance. Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran looked at Zi Zheng.
“Zi Zheng, do you know where Meng Yan lives?”
Zi Zheng nodded and asked, “Madam, are you going to look for Meng Yan?”
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she nodded. “Let’s go find her!”
With that, Li Xiaoran squatted down and looked at Xiao Quan, who was pulling her.
“How about this?! Tell me, when do your parents want us to go? I’ll come with
Meng Yan!”
After Little Quan thought for a moment, he nodded and asked, “Are you free tomorrow or the day after?”
Li Xiaoran shook her head.
“I have something on tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Meng Yan probably has something on too! Why don’t we go on the 12th?”
“Is today the ninth?” Little Quan asked after a moment.
“Yes, today is the ninth. I’ll come with Meng Yan at noon on the twelfth. Is that okay?” Li Xiaoran nodded and said.
“Alright, it’s settled then!” Little Quan nodded and said happily.
“Let’s go! Get in the carriage. I’ll send you home. I’m worried about you walking here alone!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and decided to send Little Quan home first.
After all, he was still a child, so it wasn’t safe for him to wander through the streets alone.
Since they had met, she naturally had to send him home safely.
As it turned out, Li Xiaoran’s decision was right.
Because on the way back, they saw a few people carrying a little girl into the carriage and kidnapping her.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran was furious and quickly called someone to follow them.
“Zi Zheng, we have to capture this person today! He’s too arrogant. He actually kidnapped a child on the streets!”
Li Xiaoran was very angry. She thought that the security in the capital would be much better, but she didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
If this child was really kidnapped, who knew what kind of tragic ending would await her in the future.
Zi Zheng was also very angry. As he chased after the carriage, he took out something.
Zi Zheng threw it into the sky with a bang.
Soon, the secret guards who were protecting Li Xiaoran nearby came over.
“Quick, stop the carriage in front. Someone kidnapped a little girl and they’re in the carriage!” Zi Zheng said when he saw his people.
As soon as he said this, three people immediately appeared and chased after the carriage in front.
If the secret guards attacked, the other party naturally couldn’t escape. After half an hour, everyone in the carriage was subdued and the little girl was saved..
