“Eunuch Li, you’re afraid of offending my parents, but aren’t you afraid of me? Keep talking and I’ll cut out your tongue!” Dong Fang Hong threatened, turning back.
“Yes!” Eunuch Li hurriedly covered his mouth, trembling.
Yan Ran quietly followed, gripping her sword, secretly tracking them to uncover their plot.
Much better! Little Yi, I’ve been thinking today, and I’ve decided to sell this Shen residence. Living here feels empty, and we don’t have much money left. The funds Ling’er provided are almost used up, and I don’t want to trouble her anymore!
I’ll sell this house first, then rent a small place, so we’ll have more money for the second half of our lives. What do you think?”
Since her parents passed away, she hadn’t gone out for a long time. Last time, thanks to Ling’er’s help with the hooligans harassing Little Yi, she would have been completely alone.
“What Miss says makes sense! Miss Ling’er has been so good to us, often coming to chat and bringing silver. We can’t accept her money anymore!” Little Yi was full of gratitude for Lan Ling’er. Fortunately, she was there to talk with Miss; otherwise, Miss wouldn’t be as cheerful. Miss was reluctant to sell the old house, but she repays kindness, so selling it was a last resort.
Yanran listened through the paper window, unable to help but smile: So, Ling’er is a great philanthropist!
As she tiptoed away from the old residence and walked on the deserted street, she thought about telling Luo Ran this in the morning. However, when she went upstairs, she saw his room was still lit, so she knocked and called out,
“Yanran, how did it go?” He had been worried about her absence, and seeing her now eased his concern.
“Brother, Dong Fanghong went to the old residence.”
I’ve seen it, and only two young girls live there! Brother, I learned a secret!” Yanran sat in the chair, drank some hot tea, and continued: “Ling’er has been helping the master and servant of the Shen residence. They’ve known each other for a long time!”
“What about Dong Fanghong?” Luo Ran asked, focused on the purpose of Dong Fanghong’s visit.
