“Madam, don’t worry. My crispy plums are definitely delicious! If you don’t believe me, try two first! If you think they’re delicious, buy my plums!” The man was an honest person. After putting down the two baskets, he chose a few of the freshest crispy plums and handed them over.

Li Xiaoran didn’t mind. After she took the crispy plums, she asked someone to fetch water. Then, she washed them and placed them in her mouth to eat.

She took a bite. It was indeed crispy.

Soon, juice flowed out as she chewed.

This crispy plum was 70% sweet and 30% sour. The taste was just right and suited Li Xiaoran’s preferences.

In the modern era, many fruits were overly sweet.

Li Xiaoran didn’t like to buy such fruits.

They were really too sweet. A sour and sweet taste was her favorite.

After eating a few in a row, Li Xiaoran smiled at the man in front of her.

“Uncle, your crispy plums are indeed delicious. They taste very good. I mean what I say. I want all these plums! Please bring pick the crispy plums to where we live! Don’t worry, I’ll pay you first. I’ll get someone to bring you over later!”

When the man heard Li Xiaoran say that she wanted everything, he immediately nodded happily.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s the same if you give me the money afterwards!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and called Jiao Hang over.

“Jiao Hang, lead him to where we live!”

When Jiao Hang saw that the consort had instructed him to do something, he immediately stood up.

“By the way, after you reach the house, store the plums and let Zi Zheng give you the silver!” At this point, Li Xiaoran lowered her voice and reminded him in a low voice, “Remember, after giving this man the silver, let him leave through the back door. Then, let Zi Cheng secretly send someone to follow him. On the one hand, it’s to protect this person’s safety, and on the other hand, it’s to see where this person lives. In the future, if we want to eat crispy plums, we can buy them directly!”

Jiao Hang remembered what Li Xiaoran had said and smiled at the man.

“Sir, come with me!”

The man nodded and left with Jiao Hang.

After Li Xiaoran watched the two of them leave, she continued to watch the ten people in front of her make grilled fish.

When some people in the crowd saw that Li Xiaoran didn’t notice them, a few people quietly retreated from the crowd and chased after Jiao Hang and the man.

Li Xiaoran sensed that those people with ill intentions had left and sneered.

The reason Li Xiaoran let Jiao Hang leave with that man was that she knew that Jiao Hang had the ability to protect himself.

When Jiao Hang came to seek refuge with Luo Cheng, he said that he was born with extraordinary strength and was very strong.

Ordinary people weren’t his match.

Not long after Jiao Hang left, he sensed that someone was following him.

Jiao Hang glanced at the man and lowered his voice as he said, “Someone is following us. I’m afraid what happened just now caught the eye of some people and they want to rob us! But your plums arent worth much, so why are they after it?”

The man glanced at Jiao Hang when he heard his words.

“Those who covet my money are most likely petty thieves. If they aren’t petty thieves, these people are probably targeting your Madam!” When He Hui heard this, she was immediately amused.

“You understand it too?!”

The man couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he heard Jiao Hang’s words.

“I have to carry my things and walk around every day to sell them, so I naturally understand what’s going on! You recruited people to make roasted meat and grilled fish, and you’re wearing good clothes, so you naturally attracted the attention of people with ulterior motives. I guess these people want to find out where you live and see if it’s worth it for them to scheme against you!”

When Jiao Hang heard the man’s words, he was impressed.

“I really didn’t expect a person like you, who sells crisp plums, to see all of this so clearly. As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Don’t worry, no matter who they’re after, I’ll protect you!”

The man nodded when he heard Jiao Hang’s words.

However, the man was also thinking that he had to pay more attention after he left safely.

He had indeed been a little rash today. He had sold crispy plums in public, which made some people have ulterior motives.

Suddenly, Jiao Hang sped up with the man and turned into an alley.

Seeing this, the people behind quickly chased after them.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the alley, they were hit by a pole.

After that, the fight quickly came to an end.

Jiao Hang, who was born with great strength, didn’t have to spend much effort to deal with these people. He quickly knocked them all down. Then, he tapped their acupoints and threw them by the roadside before leaving with the man selling crisp plums.

Without anyone following, Jiao Hang led the man to their place of residence quickly.

After entering and explaining the matter to Zi Cheng, Jiao Hang rushed towards the place where the people had been screened.

After Zi Cheng paid for the crisp plums, he asked,

“Can you leave your home address? Madam likes these delicious fruits very much. After she buys them today, she might come to buy them every year in the future. When the time comes, we’ll send someone to buy them directly from your house. I wonder if it’s convenient?”

The man could tell that Zi Cheng and the others were good people, so he nodded and left his address.

After Zi Cheng noted it down, he brought the man to the back door.

“Leave from here! There might be someone watching. After you leave this place, hurry up and go home. Although this money is nothing to us, others might covet it! Be careful on the way back!”

The man nodded and said gratefully, “Thank you! My name is Fan Xian. The fruits I planted taste quite delicious. If you have the chance in the future, come straight to our house to try them!”

Zi Cheng nodded and watched Fan Xian leave.

Not long after Fan Xian left, a guard secretly followed Fan Xian to protect him.

Li Xiaoran nodded when she saw that Jiao Hang had returned safely.

Jiao Hang didn’t tell Li Xiaoran what had happened previously. After all, there were many people here. It was better to wait until they returned.

On the other side, the ten of them had already roasted the carp. It wouldn’t be long before they were done.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran kept staring at the ten people, as if she wanted to see through them.

At that moment, a man at the side said, “My fish is roasted!”
