At that time, the Third Prince was very happy, since he thought that his wife had finally accepted him.
However, he wasn’t happy for long. A month later, his wife was diagnosed as pregnant. From then on, his wife became cold again.
At first, the Third Prince thought that it was because she was pregnant. After all, the imperial physician had also said that women would become very moody after getting pregnant.
However, as time passed, even after the child was born, his wife was still very cold to him. She was even unwilling to let the child get close to him.
Previously, the Third Prince didn’t understand. Now that he heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his doubts in the past were finally answered.
After the Third Prince understood everything, he sneered.
“Third Brother, the news that my injuries have improved hasn’t spread to the capital yet, right?” Ling Heng suddenly asked.
Luo Cheng nodded. “I only sent someone to send the news that you were seriously injured back to Father. I didn’t send any other news back. Very few people know that you were recuperating at my house!”
“That’s good. Don’t spread any news about me in the future. If anyone asks, say that I’m still seriously injured and unconscious! I should take advantage of this time to investigate!” The Third Prince said coldly.
Luo Cheng agreed with his Third Brother.
No matter what the truth was, they had to investigate it.
This was no longer a matter of letting it go or not!
If the Third Prince’s consort had poisoned Third Brother, they couldn’t let this woman off.
After such a thing happened, the Third Prince was no longer in the mood to stroll around the courtyard. Instead, he returned to his residence to make some arrangements.
Luo Cheng didn’t follow. After all, this was his Third Brother’s family matter. As his younger brother, it was better not to interfere.
Next, the couple roasted a lot of egg tarts together. Then, they asked Luo Ziyang and Zi Zheng to give some to their relatives and friends.
“Third Brother, you’re here for that mine, right? Does Old Master have any thoughts on it?” Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something important and asked.
“Old Master originally asked Third Brother to come over and investigate the situation in the mine before going back to report to him. Unexpectedly, something like this happened to Third Brother on the way here. Now, Old Master has arranged for someone else to investigate on his own. I just have to take good care of Third Brother! ” Luo Cheng said.
“Is Old Master you planning to mine it himself?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“I think so! But this isn’t a bad idea. At least it won’t put us in danger!” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran nodded and didn’t ask anything else.
As long as this had nothing to do with them, she didn’t have to ask anymore.
“By the way, how did you arrange things for Guan Kang? I feel that I haven’t seen him for a while!” Li Xiaoran thought of something else.
Luo Cheng said, “He’s busier than us now. In his spare time, he has to go to the farmstead and wander around the fields. Usually, he spends his time on studying. Since he likes to farm, he naturally has to learn a lot about farming. With his special abilities, it’s impossible for him to study in a school, so he didn’t take the imperial examination path. Now that I think about it, him following us is a good thing. Otherwise, if others discover his special abilities, he’ll be in danger!”
“Of course I didn’t mistreat him. I hired a teacher for him and let him receive an education like everyone else. Not only him, but I also brought some orphans of soldiers who had died on the battlefield in the past and settled them in my residence. Then, I let them study with Guan Kang. This way, Guan Kang will also have a normal learning environment!” Luo Cheng said.
Luo Cheng thought of something and added, “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to this guy that the Fresh Fruit Shop could be opened everywhere. As long as we get some plants and plant them near where he lives, we can harvest a lot of fruits. ”
Li Xiaoran said happily, “No wonder. I was wondering why there were so many fruits in the fresh fruit shop that I had never seen before. Now, there are actually so many of them and they can be supplied everywhere. So that’s the reason! In that case, with him around, we won’t have to worry about food!” “That’s true!” Luo Cheng nodded and said.
Li Xiaoran reminded, “Don’t let that child focus too much on his studies. When he’s free, let him go home to visit his parents and stroll around the nearby fields or the mountains. It can be considered a blessing to his hometown and accumulate good karma for him!”
“Alright, I’ll tell him about this!” Luo Cheng nodded and remembered Li Xiaoran’s words.
For the next period of time, Guan Kang would go home from time to time to gather with his family. He would also play with some children in the village. He would even follow the adults up the mountain to pick firewood.
It was also because of this change that the mature child finally started to seem like a normal child.
For this matter, He Hui and Guan Dongshan even brought a lot of things to thank them.
“I heard from Kang’er that you and Mr. Luo suggested that he shouldn’t forget to enjoy life. Now, this child has become much more cheerful and can get along with the other children in the village! All of this is thanks to you and Mr. Luo, so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!” He Hui said gratefully.
“Aunt Hui, don’t be so polite! In the past, when our family was in trouble, it was you and Uncle Guan who took care of us.” Li Xiaoran held He Hui’s hand and said, “Besides, isn’t Kang’er helping us now?
He Hui and Guan Dongshan insisted on leaving everything they sent behind.
“Our things aren’t worth much, but they’re very rare. I’ll leave them for you guys to try!” He Hui said, “If you don’t accept them, you’ll be acting too estranged!”
In the end, Li Xiaoran could only accept these things.
Just as He Hui had said about Dongshan, the thing wasn’t expensive, but the gift had significant meaning.
Li Xiaoran liked the wild honey inside very much.
“What’s the difference between wild honey and ordinary honey? Isn’t it the same?” Luo Cheng asked in confusion after finding out how happy Li Xiaoran was.
“How can it be the same? You know that herbs in the wild are more effective, and it’s the same for wild honey!” Li Xiaoran said righteously.
Luo Cheng didn’t argue with Li Xiaoran. Instead, he said dotingly, “Alright, alright, alright.. If you like it so much, I’ll go up the mountain and get you wild honey in the future!”
