What Ma Baoshan did not know was that others had seen what had happened to him today.

From the beginning to the end, Luo Cheng had sent people to follow Ma Baoshan and secretly protect him.

In the next few days, Ma Baoshan begged with the beggar.

Speaking of which, Ma Baoshan had even learned a lot from this beggar called Ah Du.

Although he ate leftover dishes every day, Ma Baoshan’s mental state gradually began to change.

At this moment, he already understood.

Without the protection of his family, he was nothing.

If he wanted to survive, he could only rely on himself.

During this period, Ma Baoshan also encountered several crises.

The most miserable time was when he was beaten up by more than ten beggars just so they could s.n.a.t.c.h a bite of food from him.

Ma Baoshan was also a ruthless person, so he was naturally unwilling to split the things.

He would rather be beaten up than give any food to those beggars.

Not only that, but after eating, Ma Baoshan began to target someone.

No matter how others. .h.i.t him, he kept an eye on one person and fought back desperately.

As time pa.s.sed, the people he was targeting could not stand it anymore.

What was even more terrifying was that Ma Baoshan remembered everyone who bullied him. Then, when those people were alone, he would deal with them one by one. After he dealt with them, those beggars would be so afraid that they would not dare to cause him trouble anymore. Only then would Ma Baoshan let go.

In the blink of an eye, the news that a ruthless cripple had appeared in the capital spread throughout the streets.

From then on, Ma Baoshan brought Ah Du to beg on the streets, and no one dared to bully them anymore.

After Luo Cheng learned this news, he told Li Xiaoran.

Luo Cheng lamented, “I really didn’t expect this kid to have such a ruthless side! Now that I think about it carefully, if anything happens to the Ma family, this kid will probably be the one to bear the responsibility!”

Li Xiaoran thought of what she had sensed previously and said, “He’s experienced too little and is kind-hearted. However, if this continues, he’ll probably suffer a loss. When he went to the casino, he was schemed against. Therefore, I want to help him, so that at least, he won’t be schemed against by others and go down the wrong path!”

Luo Cheng said, “Now, I’m impressed by this kid! Speaking of which, this kid is quite lucky. He met you when he went to the casino and you helped him!”

Li Xiaoran said, “Perhaps this kid can help us in the future! Who knows what will happen in the future?! Anyway, since we’ve b.u.mped into him, let’s help if we can!”

Soon, it was time for the empress dowager’s birthday celebration.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng woke up very early in the morning.

No matter what, it was a palace banquet in the royal family and it was the empress dowager’s birthday, so it naturally had to be grand.

Li Xiaoran was the Seventh Consort after all, so she wore gorgeous clothes and wore a lot of hairpins and pearls.

If not for the fact that Li Xiaoran had always despised these things for being too heavy, she would have worn even more jewelry.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Xiaoran felt very heavy.

“Husband, this is too torturous. It’s such a hot day, but I’m wearing so much.

It’s really too hot! And this headwear is really torturous!”

After Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran, ge realized that she was so tired that her forehead was covered in sweat. His heart ached.

She quickly helped Li Xiaoran take off some c.u.mbersome jewelry and left only a hairpin on her bun.

This time, Li Xiaoran felt relieved and much more comfortable.

After Luo Cheng thought about it for a moment, he let Li Xiaoran take off two more clothes. In the end, Li Xiaoran only wore two pieces of clothing.

This way, Li Xiaoran felt that she could breathe again.

“That’s right. I should have worn it like this in the first place! In my opinion, even these two pieces of clothes are too much!”

Luo Cheng warned sternly, “No, these two things have to be worn. Don’t take them off!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately pursed her lips.

She missed those modern-era short-sleeved s.h.i.+rts and shorts!

She missed modern-day air-conditioned ice cream!

She missed the sandals she could wear every day in the modern world!

Seeing Li Xiaoran’s dejected expression, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh.

“Alright, it’s just for a day. After we get through the day, we’ll return to

Sichuan. At that time, you won’t have to go through so much trouble!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately became dejected.

“Then I want to wear short-sleeved clothes and shorts when we get back. I want to wear sandals as well!”

Luo Cheng asked in confusion, “What are short-sleeved s.h.i.+rts and shorts? And what are sandals?”

Li Xiaoran said, “Sigh, you won’t understand even if I tell you now. After today,

I’ll go back and make a set of clothes for you to see. Then, you’ll know!”

Luo Cheng could only suppress his curiosity and wait for Li Xiaoran to show him.

As they spoke, they arrived at the royal family’s residence.

Unlike those ministers who had to wait in line, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran’s carriage moved into the door on the other side under the lead of the guards.

At this moment, the royal family’s home was decorated with lanterns and decorations. Those who didn’t know better would think that the emperor was getting married.

Not only that, but the palace maids in the royal family had also changed into festive palace clothes today and all of them had happy smiles on their faces.

When Luo Cheng brought Li Xiaoran to the place where the banquet was held today, there were already many people inside.

Upon closer inspection, the princes and their sons were all there.

In other words, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran were the last to arrive.

The crown prince raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw Luo Cheng, “Yo, Luo Cheng is here! I wonder what kind of birthday gift Luo Cheng will give grandma today?”

After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran bowed to the crown prince, Luo Cheng replied with a smile, “I’m a poor person to begin with, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to provide a decent birthday gift. It can’t compare to yours!”

When the empress dowager heard Luo Cheng’s words, she smiled and waved at him.

“Luo Cheng, come over quickly and show your wife to me!”

Luo Cheng nodded and led Li Xiaoran to the empress dowager.

The empress dowager glanced at Luo Cheng first before looking at Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran knew that her first test after entering the royal family was here.

However, she was not nervous and bowed obediently.

“Greetings, Grandma-in-law!”

The empress dowager said, “Get up! There’s no need to be so polite! Since you’re already married to Luo Cheng, you guys should be more understanding of each other and live a peaceful life!” The empress dowager had a good impression of Li Xiaoran.

Although Luo Cheng’s wife was a farmer from the countryside, from her etiquette and the way she treated others, she was sensible..
