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

“Husband, you make it sound like Li Yan didn’t cause trouble for us in the past! Don’t worry too much. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. Let’s do our own thing! As for Li Yan, as long as she dares to come, we can beat her up!” When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately laughed.

That’s right. Now, they were no longer afraid of anyone’s harm.

They had the ability to protect themselves, so they were no longer that easy to bully.

Li Xiaoran didn’t take it to heart because she knew very well that as long as she lived a good life, Li Yan wouldn’t let go of her jealousy.

Why did she have to make herself uneasy all day long for an irrelevant person?

What she had to do was live a good life and work hard to live a better life.

This was the best way to take revenge on Li Yan!

What Li Yan couldn’t get was what she had always had!

This was enough!

As long as Li Yan was unhappy, Li Xiaoran would be happy!

Therefore, Li Xiaoran fell asleep in a good mood.

Good sleep was very important. The next day, Li Xiaoran woke up early and even ran a few rounds in the courtyard with Luo Cheng.

When Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran’s excited expression, he asked with a smile, “What has made you so happy that you took the initiative to train with me?” When Li Xiaoran saw Luo Cheng’s curious expression, she smiled.

“You know the reason! I’m happy because Li Yan is unlucky!”

Luo Cheng was amused when he heard that.

“If I had Imown that you would be so happy that Li Yan was unlucky, I would have made her suffer long ago!”

Li Xiaoran explained, “No, no, no, this is different! Although I’ll be happy if you punish Li Yan, I’ll also feel disgusted. A despicable person like Li Yan isn’t worth our effort to deal with so as not to dirty our hands. However, if the heavens make Li Yan unlucky, I’ll naturally be very happy! This means that the heavens are as good at judging people as me!”

This was the first time Luo Cheng had heard such a novel reason. Then, he said happily, “Hasn’t the heavens always been on your side? Otherwise, how could you have such good luck? Li Xiaoran, you’ve been in cahoots with the heavens since long ago!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was amused.

“I don’t know if I’m in cahoots with the heavens, but we are definitely in cahoots!”

As soon as she said this, Luo Cheng laughed.

Li Xiaoran thought of something and suddenly asked, “By the way, Mao Dao and Sisi are about to get married. What should we give them?”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Have you prepared the dowry?

Li Xiaoran nodded and said, “I’ve prepared a set of jewelry for Sisi. When I went to the capital previously, I already bought a lot of jewelry. One of them is very suitable for Sisi!”

“Then let’s send a big gift when they get married!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran muttered, “Father and Mother want to give them a bed! Let’s not make the gift too big!”

Luo Cheng pondered over it.

“Then why don’t we hire someone to make a wedding dress for them?!”

Li Xiaoran felt that this wouldn’t do, so she shook her head.

“Forget it, forget it. I won’t get any good suggestions even if I ask you. I’ll think about it myself!” Li Xiaoran said.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was amused.

To be honest, he really wasn’t good at giving gifts!

It was great that Li Xiaoran finally let him off!

After Li Xiaoran ate breakfast, she planned to ask Old Madam Jin.

After all, Old Madam Jin was much more knowledgeable and experienced! After Old Madam Jin learned of Li Xiaoran’s intentions, she was immediately amused.

“You! You just want to give your cousin something practicable, so you feel troubled. Actually, the best gift for a woman is to give her some good living security. Your cousin married into a farming family, so it’s impossible to give her servants, but you can give her something she needs.”

“What she needs is money. Should I send a pile of gold or silver ingots over?” Li Xiaoran said.

When Old Madam Jin heard this, she shook her head.

“If you give her these at this time, you’ll harm her.

Don’t give her any shops or businesses either. It’ll cause her trouble!” Li Xiaoran was stunned when she heard Old Madam Jin’s words.

That’s right. If she gave her cousin these things, she would really cause trouble for her cousin.

“There’s a saying that goes, it’s better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Of course, what you should give her isn’t teaching her how to do business, but guidance on how to deal with certain things! To put it bluntly, make her stronger!” Old Madam Jin said, “We girls from big families will nurture some servants who are good at managing the business and loyal to their masters. These things are the most important if a girl wants to have a stable life in her in-laws’ house after she marries over!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was a little dejected.

“She married into the Mao family, so I can’t send maids or servants to her!”

“Think about it yourself! I’ve already said everything I have to say!” With that, Old Madam Jin stopped giving ideas.

Li Xiaoran was even more confused when she didn’t get an answer. “Why is it so difficult to come up with a gift to give?”

After returning, Li Xiaoran told Shu Ruyue what Granny Jin had said.

Shu Ruyue laughed when she heard this.

“Xiaoran, you’re being too inflexible! Actually, there are many things you can help your cousin with! It’s easy for you to do as well!”

“What do you mean?” Li Xiaoran asked.

“Think about it this way. If you were Zhao Sisi and were about to marry into the Mao family, what would you need the most?” Shu Ruyue reminded.

When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she began to think about it.

Soon, Li Xiaoran thought of something and smiled. “I know what to give her!”

Then, Li Xiaoran went to look for Luo Ziyang.

“Ziyang, send someone to investigate everyone in the Mao family, especially their personalities and hobbies!”

Luo Ziyang smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s instructions.

“Madam, you’re helping Miss Zhao ask around, right?!”

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “That’s right! I want to give my cousin a big gift, so I might as well give her this information!”
