Luo Cheng said, "The old woman said that ten years ago, Mrs. Hengyang's daughter was accidentally lost while shopping in the Lantern Festival in the first lunar month."

“…”

"However, Mrs. Hengyang found her again not long ago, but Miss Zhao didn't want to be her original self and ran away quietly."

Li Jiaoniang blinked and said, "The old woman thought Miss Zhao had run away, so she didn't run back, but she didn't know that Zhao Rui had committed suicide. This run away was probably an excuse from Mrs. Hengyang to conceal the cause of Miss Zhao's death."

“…”

"After all, if a person comes back but doesn't show up for a long time, it will still cause speculation from others."

“…”

"Mrs. Hengyang could not stand the blow, so she did not report the death without hiding it. But what does it mean to find me? I have already stated clearly that I have no idea of ​​recognizing her as my adopted mother."

"When you were with her, did you notice any strange behaviors, such as to harm you?" Luo Cheng asked with a frown and worriedly.

Li Jiaoni shook her head.

She was about to say "No", when the maid Wushuang, who was sent by Mrs. Hengyang, came.

Li Jiaoni winked at Luo Cheng.

The two stopped talking immediately.

At this time, they were sitting in the main hall of the east wing.

Li Jiaoniang picked up the tea bowl and pretended to eat tea.

Luo Cheng asked Wushuang, "What's the matter?"

Wushuang bowed to them, "Say, Mr. Lang, eldest lady, supper is ready. Madam Sang asked me to ask where is it?"

"Just put it here." Luo Cheng said.

Wushuang nodded, "Okay." Then she left again.

When she walked away, Li Jiaoniang said, "I don't want this maid, but Mrs. Hengyang forced me to do so. The power of Gao Gao was so powerful that he would be so powerful."

"What did Mrs. Hengyang do not do to you, right?" Luo Cheng asked again.

Li Jiaoni shook her head, "No." She narrowed her eyes, "But, I feel a little bit scrutinized by my side."

Luo Cheng said coldly, "Then drive her away!"

Li Jiaoniang pressed his hand, "Luo Cheng, I can't drive her away now, and now I can't offend Mrs. Hengyang too much. Her status is too high and she is scheming. If we make trouble, we can pat our sleeves and leave, but where is Cong'er?"

Luo Cheng looked at her and his brows frowned again.

"We must ignore him for a lifetime," said Li Jiaoni.

Luo Cheng didn't want to leave Zhao Cong so casually. He said, "It's true."

"Besides, we are afraid that we can't hide our current identity." She smiled bitterly, "If we were still Luo Cheng and Li Jiao Niang from Yunhe County, if we offend people, we would offend them. If we change places, we would live the same way. Anyway, few people recognize us."

“…”

"But now..., it involves too much."

Luo Cheng held her hand and said warmly, "Don't be afraid of my dear girl, I'm in everything. No matter whether it's that maid or the lady of Hengyang, no one dares to hurt you. Just do what you like."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of anything. I just sigh that my life has become complicated."

Since entering Yuezhou City and Lin'an City, she found that although the money was getting more and more, she no longer had to cook, wash and clean herself, but her life was not quiet.

...

There is no war in the Central Plains, and the Spring Festival in Lin'an City is getting more and more lively every year.

Li Jiaoniang spent her previous life in a busy life, busy paying off her parents’ debts and helping to make money to support her grandmother, and she has never had a good New Year.

Now in another world, she said she should have fun and celebrate the New Year well.

From the first to the fifteenth month of the lunar month, either Zhao Cong or Zhao Gui, the Lu family also invited him.

Zhao Shicheng also invited him when he was busy preparing the wedding banquet.

Mrs. Hengyang took her to the village twice. She did not go alone, but took Luo Cheng to go there.

At first, Mrs. Hengyang disagreed with Luo Cheng's departure.

Li Jiaoniang said, if Luo Cheng doesn’t go, she won’t go.

Mrs. Hengyang couldn't do it, so she had to agree.

With Luo Cheng here, Mrs. Hengyang did not say anything to Li Jiaoniang about adopting her daughter, and she became obviously a little more polite.

Li Jiaoniang was just asking for such alienation.

After the fifteenth and the festival is over, everyone is busy with their business, and the number of things to invite Li Jiaoni to have a meal is reduced.

No one invited me for 16 days.

On the seventeenth day, it was half past the morning, and no one came to invite him.

Luo Cheng suggested that they go and play by themselves.

Li Jiaoniang agreed immediately.

Tomorrow is Zhao Shicheng's wedding day. Although Li Jiaoni has prepared gifts, she thought that if there are so many shops in the city, she might be able to find a more attractive gift if she goes around.

So Li Jiaoniang chose the street with many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and started shopping with Luo Cheng.

Wushuang naturally has to follow him, and he can't even drive him away.

Li Jiaoniang had a headache and had no chance to talk to Luo Cheng alone.

As she walked, Li Jiaoniang saw a teahouse in front of her.

She said, "Ah, I'm tired of walking, let's go to the teahouse to have tea."

After finding an excuse to ask Wushuang to buy things, she could talk to Luo Cheng alone.

Luo Cheng looked up and saw that this was a teahouse of considerable size.

It is two stories high and the main door has four doors.

Because it was just after the New Year, everyone had free time, and there were a lot of people coming in and out.

In the building, there were also sounds of silk and bamboo.

Luo Cheng said, "It looks like a lively place, so it's good to go in and rest."

The two walked into the teahouse.

Wushuang looked around and followed him in.

The sound on the first floor was too noisy, so Luo Cheng took Li Jiaoniang to the second floor.

At this time, a waiter came and greeted him with a smile, "How many customers? Do you have a reserved seat?"

"Only we have not reserved a seat, please choose a quiet place." Luo Cheng said.

"Okay, there are still empty seats upstairs, they are all very quiet." The waiter smiled and made a gesture to him.

After going up to the second floor, it was indeed quieter.

There are private rooms divided into rooms and open tables.

However, the tables on the second floor are arranged farther than those on the first floor, with bonsai arranged between them through carved screens.

I came out to watch the fun. I was so bored sitting in the private room. Li Jiaoniang picked up the corner of the window and sat down.

"Just here, it's good here." The opposite is the stairs, and anyone who comes up and down can see clearly.

Luo Cheng gave the money and sent the waiter to serve the tea and order it.

The two of them left their seats.

Wushuang stood behind Li Jiaoniang as usual, standing quietly.

When three people walk, there must be a light bulb.

Li Jiaoniang's eyes turned and she said, "Wu Shuang, I originally wanted to go to the street in front to buy some snacks, but I am tired of walking. You should hurry up, please help me buy some, right?"

Wushuang immediately said, "I am Miss Li's maid. I will do whatever Miss Li told me to do, without saying that I'm polite. This is a shame to Wushuang!"

Li Jiaoni nodded, "Okay, okay, then you can run away."

She said the name of a pastry house, "Pick a few new ones and buy some new ones." She also said that she was a shop in a north-south goods store. "Pick a few dried fruits that we eat less. By the way, buy more pine nuts and watermelon seeds. His Royal Highness likes to eat, so he prepares to go to the house."

"I know, Miss Li." Wushuang replied.

Luo Cheng gave money, and Wushuang said again, "I'll be back soon, you guys wait."

After she walked downstairs, Li Jiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally left."

Whenever she talks to Luo Cheng, Wushuang will come over and listen.

I'm speechless. Is it too low to be monitored?

Can you be more professional and give her some face?

At this time, the waiter brought snacks and tea.
