“That’s not true. Rich people can also study it. As long as the other party pays enough tuition, we will accept them as students,” Li Xiaoran said.

“But for those children whose families are struggling to make ends meet, we can implement it the way I just said. We’ll bear all the expenses first, then let the children work in our wine shop. Every month, we’ll deduct half of the salary to repay the money these children spend on learning, and the other half will be left for their own daily expenses.”

“After they pay off all the expenses they owe, they can choose to stay or leave.

We won’t force them to stay!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he added,

“This is indeed a good idea, but it’s best to sign a contract first!”

“Of course. After we make everything clear, things will be easy to settle!” Li Xiaoran nodded as she said.

Upon hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, Luo Cheng knew what to do.

After returning to the study, Li Xiaoran read while Luo Cheng began to write the contract.

Before going to bed at night, Luo Cheng finished the contract.

Luo Cheng didn’t show it to Li Xiaoran immediately. Instead, he carried the sleepy Li Xiaoran back to her room to rest.

The next day, when Li Xiaoran woke up, it was actually raining outside.

Despite seeing the rain outside, Li Xiaoran was in a good mood, so she held a paper fan as she strolled around in the courtyard in the rain.

Luo Cheng woke up early and went to the martial arts field. When he returned, he saw Li Xiaoran playing in the courtyard in the rain.

No matter where she was, Li Xiaoran could find happiness!

After Li Xiaoran admired the beautiful flowers in the rain, she turned around and saw Luo Cheng leaning against the railing pillar looking at her. She immediately ran over in surprise.

“Husband, you’re back from your morning exercise?”

“Yes! I see you’re having fun playing in the rain!” Luo Cheng replied with a smile.

“Don’t you think that after the rain, the entire world seems to have changed drastically?! The same thing feels different depending on whether it’s under the sun or the rain!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile. Luo Cheng was amused by Li Xiaoran’s answer.

“It seems that you have an eye for beauty! ”

As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran laughed.

Luo Cheng’s words were what she often said in the past.

Life was full of beauty, but some people lacked an eye for beauty.

She didn’t expect her husband to return the same words to her here.

“I think you’re probably bored out of your mind in the residence. Let’s go out for a walk today! It’s rare for us to come to the capital, so let’s take a look around and bring some specialties back for our family!” Luo Cheng said. Li Xiaoran thought that although Luo Cheng had already recovered his status as a prince, he already had a fief, so in the end, they still had to return to Sichuan to live.

“By the way, where do you plan to build a fief in Sichuan?”

“Is there a need to ask? Let’s choose White Lu City! As for our residence, you can choose it when the time comes. We’ll build a residence wherever you like in White Lu City!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “There’s no need. Constructing a residence is also a waste of money. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but it also takes up a lot of land. I think the place we’re living in now is not bad, so let’s stay there! As for White Lu City, we can choose a bigger house to buy. Then, we’ll have another place to stay!”

At this point, Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng.

“Husband, do you think I’m being stingy? I really think it’s too wasteful to build another residence. It’s so big and there’s just a few of us, so it’s too troublesome to train a bunch of maids and servants!”

Luo Cheng understood what Li Xiaoran meant. She didn’t like to have many servants serving her at all times.

Actually, he didn’t like it either.

Besides, having too big of a residence wasn’t a good thing for Luo Cheng. He would feel lonesome and flustered by it.

He had the same thoughts as Li Xiaoran. He already liked everything in the house in Hele Village, so there was no need to build another house.

“Li Xiaoran, I’m thinking the same thing! Actually, no matter what my identity is, I want a peaceful life. Unfortunately, with my current identity, there will be a lot of trouble, so there are pros and cons!” Luo Cheng lamented.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.

“What are the pros and cons? If you don’t like social engagements, just don’t see those people! After all, it’s your territory. Why do we have to listen to others? We should live our lives as we should!”

Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“You’re so open-minded! Think about it. If word about our identities gets out, your two shops by the official road will immediately be overcrowded. I think you might as well give these two shops to Xiao Qing to manage! Besides, don’t even think about working in the shops in the future. As long as you show your face, many people will try to curry favor with you, the Seventh Prince’s consort!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words and thought of that possibility, she immediately trembled.

“Oh my god! Fortunately, those two shops are the only ones others know about. I have to think about how to arrange these two shops. Fortunately, I don’t plan to interfere in the business of the noodle shop and fast food shop anymore!”

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoran thought of something. “Then husband, will others know about your wine shop business as well?”

“It’s hard to explain. Some people will know, but it’s only a small number of people, so it doesn’t matter even if they know. Who doesn’t have a business? I plan to keep the wine shop business open. As for other businesses, I won’t expose them!” Luo Cheng said.

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she remembered something.

“Is the reason you exposed your wine shop business the plan I mentioned yesterday?”

“It’s partly because of your plan, and also because of the change in the situation, I have to reveal some businesses. After all, I’m the Seventh Prince now. If I don’t set up some businesses, how will we legitimize our money in the future?” Luo Cheng said.

Although he said that, Li Xiaoran understood that a large part of the reason Luo Cheng did this was because of her.

“Don’t worry, husband, I’ll definitely get you more businesses and let you earn more money!” Li Xiaoran promised.

Luo Cheng smiled.

“It’s fine as long as you’re happy.. I don’t have much desire for money!”
