The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady

Chapter 189



189 Jade-faced Woman

While Li Xiaoran was cooking the knife-cut noodles, she saw Luo Cheng bring over an empty bowl and immediately smiled.

...

“Your third brother ate the noodles?”

Luo Cheng smiled and nodded. Then, he placed the dishes in the wooden basin and came straight to Li Xiaoran’s side.

Suddenly, she felt something being put in her pocket. After that, she could feel that the thing that was put in her pocket had some weight.

“This is the money Third Brother gave me. It’s two hundred taels of silver!”

With that, Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and smiled.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, her eyes widened and she laughed.

“Yes, my cooking skills are indeed worth so much!”

“Of course. My wife’s cooking is priceless!” Luo Cheng echoed.

“That person left?” Li Xiaoran didn’t accept Luo Cheng’s compliment and asked.

“He didn’t leave. He’s still there!” Luo Cheng said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she stopped cooking the noodles and asked in confusion, “Why?”

“I can only blame my wife for being too outstanding. My third brother liked your eloquence and plans to entrust you with an important task! However, I rejected him!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood something.

“He wants my help? What can I do to help your third brother? Go argue with someone?”

“Something like that!” Luo Cheng replied with a smile.

At this point, Li Xiaoran quickly scooped the noodles into a bowl and asked her father to pick them up for the guest. Then, she looked at Luo Cheng.

“What do you mean?”

“As far as I know, my third brother has something to do, but he lacks someone who can persuade others. Now, he has his eyes on your talent in this aspect!” Luo Cheng told him what he knew.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she shook her head.

“Hmph, I’m not going! This is really karma! I’ve already said that he will need my help. I didn’t expect the time to come so quickly!”

At this point, Li Xiaoran was amused again.

“Sigh, when I saw your third brother sitting there previously, I thought he was a very serious person. Who knew that he would actually be so shameless?!”

Luo Cheng explained when he heard this.

“My third brother is indeed old-fashioned, but he also admires and respects capable people.”

“Then do you want me to help your third brother?” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she understood another meaning.

“No, no, no, I didn’t mean that! I didn’t agree. That’s why he insisted on staying!” Luo Cheng quickly clarified.

“Then let him stay. Anyway, we have many rooms at home. It’s just one more room. Let him live however he wants!” Li Xiaoran said generously, “No matter what, on account that he’s your third brother, we can’t chase him out!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he did something admiring.

At this moment, a woman walked in from the door of the shop.

With her arrival, a fragrance wafted in.

“I want a bowl of minced meat noodles!” A sweet voice sounded.

When Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran heard this voice, their expressions immediately became serious.

They looked over and saw a familiar face.

“Why are you looking at me? Isn’t this a noodle shop? Don’t you sell noodles here?” the person said with a smile.

Luo Cheng frowned and was about to chase her away when Li Xiaoran stopped him.

“Sure! Please find a seat. The noodles will be ready soon!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.

Li Shun, Zhao Xiu, and the others also saw this scene and felt confused.

Li Shun thought for a moment and said, “Xiao Qing, go with Father to the well outside to wash some vegetables!”

Li Xiaoqing nodded and walked to the back of the shop.

Li Shun glanced at his wife and lowered his voice. “I’ll bring Xiao Qing to the back! Xiu’er, keep an eye on her!”

Zhao Xiu nodded and gave him a reassuring look.

On the other side, Li Xiaoran quickly sliced the knife-cut noodles into the pot and seasoned them.

Luo Cheng stared at the woman called Jade Face, then lowered his voice and asked, “Are you really here to buy noodles?”

“You’re a customer! Leave this to me! Just stand at the side! Let us women settle this!” Li Xiaoran said.

“Alright, be careful not to fall into her trap!” Luo Cheng instructed worriedly, “I’ll stay here and watch. If anything happens, I can stop it!”

“Yes! Okay!” Li Xiaoran nodded and focused on cooking the noodles.

Soon, a bowl of sliced noodles was ready. After sending the noodles up personally, Li Xiaoran smiled and said to the woman.

“Your noodles are here. Please enjoy!”

The woman called Jade Face glanced at Li Xiaoran and smiled at her.

“Thank you!”

With that, Jade Face started eating.

Li Xiaoran ignored her and returned to stand in front of the stove.

After Jade Face finished eating the noodles, she looked at Li Xiaoran.

“I want to settle the bill!”

With that, Jade Face took out a copper coin from her pocket.

Li Xiaoran walked over and took the money. She was about to leave when Jade Face stopped her.

“I’m not only here to eat noodles today, but I also have news to tell you! Please convey that we’ve already verified that it’s indeed useless. Don’t worry! We won’t come again! By the way, we’ve already spread this news according to our previous promise!”

With that, Jade Face stood up and left.

Seeing the other party leave, Li Xiaoran was a little stunned.

“Is she really just here to eat a bowl of noodles and spread the news?” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and asked.

Luo Cheng shook his head and then said, “Shouldn’t you know better?”

Li Xiaoran thought about it carefully and said, “I can feel that she’s not lying to us. She’s telling the truth!”

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran added.

“Then will Kang’er be safe?”

“He’s safe for now! We still have to wait and see!” Luo Cheng shook his head and said, “I’d rather be on guard against such things!”

Li Xiaoran also felt that this was safer. After all, Guan Kang’s life was very precious.

“Sigh! Speaking of which, Kang’er is really unlucky!”

“Maybe it’s the bitterness before the sweetness! Maybe this child will have great achievements in the future!” Luo Cheng had a different opinion.

“No matter what, it’s still good news! We’ll tell Uncle Guan and Aunt Hui tonight!” Li Xiaoran said.

After Jade Face walked out of the shop, she got into a carriage.

“Didn’t you say you were going to make a scene? Why wasn’t there any sound?” a man in the carriage asked.

When Jade Face heard this, she looked at the shop nearby and shook her head.

“There’s no need!”
