The reason these people toyed with her today was because they didn’t take her seriously, let alone Luo Cheng.

At this point, those people were setting up traps step by step to see how Li Xiaoran would handle it.

If Li Xiaoran wasn’t mistaken, the queue at the door was a test.

In the end, she went straight to the small farmstead at the side.

This unexpected move immediately made the people inside change their strategy. They sent someone to send only one invitation in order to humiliate her.

At the same time, this invitation was also a test to see if she would choose to compromise and follow Meng Yan in.

But her answer was no.

After Meng Yan went in, those people would definitely make another move.

At this point, the other party wouldn’t let her go that easily.

After all, there was a trap set up at the banquet and they were waiting for her to fall into it.

That was why Li Xiaoran was so sure that she couldn’t leave.

However, she wanted to see what methods those people would use to let her in.

After all, there was no point in using the method of sending invitations once again.

However, what Li Xiaoran didn’t expect was that the other party would use a trump card!

Before long, two maids followed a woman over from afar.

This time, these people walked straight towards the private room where Li Xiaoran was.

As soon as she entered, the old woman with silver hair kept staring at Li

“You’re the wife Luo Cheng married in the countryside?”

When Li Xiaoran heard this and saw the person’s aura, she immediately stood up and bowed.

“Greetings, Eldest Princess! ”

Seeing that there wasn’thing wrong with Li Xiaoran’s etiquette, the woman asked, “How did you know that I’m the eldest princess? Have you seen me before?”

Li Xiaoran could feel that the eldest princess in front of her didn’t dislike her, but she also didn’t like her either.

It was as if she was meeting a stranger. She felt no particular emotion towards her at all.

This surprised Li Xiaoran. She felt that the Eldest Princess in front of her was a little different from the rumors said she was like.

“Is my question that difficult to answer?”

After Li Xiaoran came back to her senses, she shook her head and said, “It’s not that this question is difficult to answer, but that you’re a little different from the rumors I heard about you!”

When the Eldest Princess heard this, she asked with an impassive expression, “What’s the difference? Do you think it’s strange that I didn’t make things difficult for you?!”

“Yes!” Li Xiaoran replied to the Eldest Princess’s question directly, “As for why I recognized you as the Eldest Princess, it’s actually very simple. It depends on your aura! Everyone’s birth, environment, and experience will cause them to have different auras. Your aura is very special. Ordinary people won’t have it!”

“You sure know how to suck up to me!” The Eldest Princess glanced at Li Xiaoran as she said, “I know you’re here to attend the banquet, so why don’t you follow me in?!”

Li Xiaoran hesitated when she heard the Eldest Princess’s words. “I don’t have an invitation! I was tricked!”

The Eldest Princess raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

“Do you think I can’t bring you in with my status?”

When Li Xiaoran heard the Eldest Princess’s words, she pondered for a moment before she shook her head.

“Of course it’s possible! I’m just being petty!”

With that, Li Xiaoran gestured to Shu Ruyue and the two of them left with the Eldest Princess.

Soon, the group arrived at the door.

Seeing the Eldest Princess walking over with her men, a servant guarding the door immediately ran over with a smile.

“Eldest Princess, why did you walk here?! Please come in. I’ll arrange a carriage for you now!”

“No need. It’s not like I’m too old to walk. The beautiful scenery in this garden is not bad, so I want to look around!” The Eldest Princess didn’t even look at the servant. Then, she turned around. “Luo Cheng’s wife, come and help me!”

Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment before understanding.

“Alright, Eldest Princess!”

As Li Xiaoran replied, she walked forward to support the Eldest Princess.

Just like that, the group walked in through the door.

After walking in, Li Xiaoran looked at the beautiful scenery around her. She didn’t admire it. Instead, she frowned slightly.

The Eldest Princess noticed Li Xiaoran’s expression and asked, “Why? Do you think the scenery here is not beautiful?”

“It’s beautiful, but it’s too beautiful that it lacks a natural vibe! It’s too deliberate!” Li Xiaoran said.

She had seen many man-made sceneries in the modern era. Now that she saw that the courtyard was also man-made, she naturally didn’t like it.

The eldest princess didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to say such a thing, so she asked again.

“Why? You grew up in the countryside and saw too many weeds and trees, so you think the scenery in this courtyard isn’t beautiful?”

These words were harsh.

However, Li Xiaoran didn’t mind.

“What I see in the countryside are the beautiful green mountains and clear water, the weeds by the flat stream, the pine trees at the top of the mountain, and the scenic countryside. The beauty of nature is naturally something these small paths in the courtyard can’t compare to!”

The Eldest Princess didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to say that. This girl really didn’t feel embarrassed by her humble background. Instead, she was proud of her background.

This time, for the first time, the Eldest Princess took Li Xiaoran seriously.

“I was wondering why Luo Cheng married you. It seems that you have your merits! At least, no one is as thick-skinned as you!”

“Of course. If I weren’t outstanding, my husband wouldn’t have married me! Besides, I’m not shameless. I just have self-respect and will never degrade myself! As the saying goes, a hero’s origin doesn’t matter. As long as I’m outstanding enough, so what if I came from a commoner’s family? At least my parents didn’t steal things to raise me. I didn’t do anything bad or betray the country. I’m a promising woman!” Li Xiaoran said proudly.

“How are you a promising woman?” The Eldest Princess sneered as she asked.

“I don’t have to rely on my parents to support myself. Just based on this alone, I’m already better than many daughters of wealthy families in the capital. I’m smart and I definitely won’t back down when I encounter trouble. I’ll face it head-on! Regarding this second point, I’m much better than those girls from noble families who only care about personal benefits and always weigh the pros and cons. The third point is that I can go through thick and thin with my lover, resolve his worries, and work hard to improve myself to be on par with him. Just this point alone is enough for my husband to treat me sincerely and be together with me for the rest of my life!” Li Xiaoran straightened her back as she said proudly..
