It seemed that this mania incident had actually diverted attention away from the examination.
In the past, Li Yan would definitely have bragged about it.
After all, Li Xiaoran could only be a countryvvoman, unlike her, who was destined to be an official’s wife.
However, now that she knew Luo Cheng’s identity and saw that Li Xiaoran had a large group of people following her whenever she went out and could even befriend the noble ladies in the capital, Li Yan felt that this congratulation was like a big slap to her face!
Li Yan gritted her teeth and said with hatred, “Li Xiaoran, don’t be so smug!
You’re just occupying my position. Sooner or later, you’ll have to return it!”
“Cousin, don’t tell me you still think that Luo Cheng really likes you and insists on marrying you? If you think that way, it’s really a fool’s dream. Besides, you didn’t want this marriage back then and insisted on making me marry him. Perhaps all of this was predestined.” Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “This time, do you really think you can snatch everything from me?”
With that, Li Xiaoran left the inn with her friends and guards, as well as Yan Xiaoxi, who wanted to kill her.
She was already far away, but Li Yan felt weak all over.
Of course, although she was acting tough, she had long sensed that Li Xiaoran’s aura was very different.
Li Yan had a feeling that if she pestered her again, what awaited her wouldn’t be good.
Thinking of this, Li Yan quickly got up and ran towards her with the basket.
Li Xiaoran naturally wouldn’t let Li Yan off, but she wasn’t in a hurry to deal with her now. She only asked someone to secretly follow Li Yan and see where she was staying now.
Meng Yan thought of something and sat in the carriage to remind Li Xiaoran, “Your cousin doesn’t look like a good person and she looks very fierce. You have to be careful!”
Li Xiaoran recalled the scene when she had just transmigrated and nodded. “I knew what she was like a long time ago! Don’t worry! She can’t do anything to me!”
Actually, it wasn’t that Li Xiaoran didn’t want to take revenge on Li Yan, but Li Xiaoran felt that letting Li Yan live in regret every day was the best punishment for her.
Didn’t she want her wealth and glory?
Now that she had it, Li Xiaoran had something better.
With her understanding of Li Yan, she was probably feeling extremely upset.
Seeing that Li Xiaoran knew what to do, Meng Yan didn’t say anything else.
On the way, Meng Yan thought of something and said, “By the way, I still have to see Ma Chongshan, so I won’t accompany you guys later!”
“Then has your marriage been decided?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.
“His parents have already agreed to this marriage, but the situation in the capital hasn’t stabilized recently, so this marriage has to be postponed!” Meng Yan said with a smile.
Li Xiaoran recalled the army Luo Cheng had mentioned and was a little worried.
“So be it! Anyway, you’re not in a hurry. The situation in the capital isn’t good now, so it’s better to make more preparations first! By the way, if you have food, it’s better to hoard more!”
Meng Yan nodded in understanding.
“Why must we stay in the capital? I think we might as well leave the capital!” Meng Yan thought of something and said, “Instead of staying here and fighting like trapped beasts, we might as well leave this place!”
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she said, “If possible, leave quickly and go far away. Don’t return to the capital for the time being!”
When Meng Yan heard Li Xiaoran’s reminder, she was silent for a moment before finally shaking her head.
“Forget it. Where can I go? I can go outside the capital, but I’m afraid it’s not safe!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and didn’t say anything else.
When they reached the fork in the road, Meng Yan got out of the carriage.
Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and lifted the curtain as she said, “Meng Yan, you have to visit Little Quan’s house when you’re free! Didn’t you agree to treat us to a meal last time? After the mania incident, this matter was left unsettled! I’m a little worried, so help me take a look!”
Meng Yan also thought of this and nodded.
“Don’t worry, I’ll go take a look today!”
With Luo Cheng’s assurance, Li Xiaoran was relieved.
Then, the group went back.
Ever since Shu Ruyue heard what Li Xiaoran and Meng Yan had said previously, she had been thinking about something.
After returning, Shu Ruyue went to look for Wu Qinghe.
“Wu Qinghe, don’t you know divination? Can you divine what other disasters will happen in the capital?”
When Wu Qinghe saw Shu Ruyue, he asked curiously, “Are you frightened by the mania incident? Why do you keep feeling that something will happen in the capital?”
Shu Ruyue glared at Wu Qinghe and said impatiently, “I told you to divine, so divine. Cut the crap!”
Seeing this, Wu Qinghe could only say kindly, “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll divine it now!”
With that, Wu Qinghe washed his hands, lit incense, and finally took out his copper coins.
Soon, the divination results came out.
Looking at the divination results in front of him, Wu Qinghe frowned. “What’s wrong?” Shu Ruyue asked when she saw that Wu Qinghe didn’t look happy.
“That’s strange. When I divined the fortune of the capital, the divination I received was that all six lines were moving. Usually, this divination means that everything is unclear and it’s hard to predict what will happen!” Wu Qinghe said.
Shu Ruyue immediately understood when she heard this.
“Alright, I understand!” After saying this, Shu Ruyue ran straight to the main courtyard where Li Xiaoran lived.
At this moment, Luo Cheng had yet to return. When Shu Ruyue went to look for Li Xiaoran, she realized that Li Xiaoran was reading.
Seeing Shu Ruyue rushing over to look for her, Li Xiaoran put down her book and asked, “Ruyue, what’s wrong?”
“Xiaoran, what did you mean by what you said to Meng Yan previously? Is something going to happen in the capital? For some reason, I felt frightened when I heard your conversation and had a bad feeling. Just now, I went to look for Wu Qinghe to divine the safety of the capital, but Wu Qinghe said that it was unpredictable! Xiaoran, I’m very worried. My family is outside the capital and I want to send a letter to my family. Do you think this letter can be sent?” Shu Ruyue didn’t hide anything and revealed her true thoughts.
Shu Ruyue could have sent a message to her family without telling Li Xiaoran, but she didn’t do so. Instead, she came to ask Li Xiaoran.
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she understood her meaning.
“You can send a letter to your family and ask them to quickly pack up their food and family assets. Then, hide in a remote place. Remember, it’s not safe inside or outside the capital!” Luo Cheng’s voice came from outside the door..
