When it came to Lu Yuanyuan, Luo Ran wanted to say something more, but he felt that it was not appropriate to say too much. Seeing that Shen Yuzhi had no intention of saying anything more, he asked:
"Why did my cousin call me here today?"
Luo Ran asked after sitting down.
Shen Yuzhi looked at her deeply, his eyes full of worry: "How are you lately?"
Luo Ran was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "My cousin must have heard the rumors in the capital, right?"
Shen Yuzhi nodded and said without hiding anything: "I think the person who dares to spread such rumors must have some evidence. Besides, that tall and rich man..."
Luo Ran lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head to meet his eyes and said, "Cousin, I'm just guessing about this now. I can't tell you the details yet."
Shen Yuzhi stared at her for a long time and then said: "Okay, but you have to take care of yourself and your two children. If Duke Jingguo does anything bad to you, inform me immediately. He is just Duke Jingguo, even if he is behind his back So what if it’s the Liu family.”
Luo Ran looked at his confident cousin, and remembered the tragic end of the Shen family in the previous life, and reminded him: "Don't forget, cousin, I heard that Liu Zimo is not an ordinary person. And he should not be the same when he comes back this time. Let's go. We'll be together in the capital from now on, so be careful."
Shen Yuzhi promised seriously: "Okay, I understand."
The two sat for a while, and Shen Yuzhi asked again: "I heard that you recently asked Qingchuan to open a pawn shop in Zhangluo?"
Luo Ran did not hide this matter, so he expressed his thoughts and finally said: "In the end, whether the crown prince wins or the third prince wins, if we don't have meaningful chips in our hands, we will have no choice but to be slaughtered in the end. So, I want to start with the pawn shop. It would be better if we can collect evidence from the Zheng family and the Liu family. If not, let them bite each other and let us make money from it, so why not do it."
Shen Yuzhi didn't speak for a while.
Luo Ran was a little unsure and said hesitantly: "Cousin, what am I thinking wrong?"
Shen Yuzhi shook his head and looked at her distressedly.
The little girl in front of me is one year younger than Xi Qing.
Although she is now a wife and mother, and she shouldn't have that kind of thoughts anymore, she still can't help but feel sorry for her from the bottom of her heart.
Finally, he said: "You are right, it is difficult for the Shen family to be alone. How about this, how about I buy a stake in your pawn shop?"
Afraid that Luo Ran would disagree, he added: "Don't worry, I won't help you in vain, you have to give me 30% profit!"
Luo Ran's eyes widened in surprise: "Is it really possible? Do you want to discuss it with your uncle?"
Shen Yuzhi shook his head: "No need, I can make the decision on this matter. Once we start this pawn shop, the Liu family will be really anxious. Because Fu Shikun is relying on the Liu family on the surface, but the Liu family can't benefit at all and can only watch. The Zheng family is making money with us, and they will definitely take action when the time comes. We are not afraid that they will move, but we are afraid that they will not move."
Luo Ran nodded: This was her idea from the beginning.
In fact, Shen Yuzhi still didn't understand why Luo Ran was so hostile to the Liu family. After thinking about it, I thought it might be the last time Li poisoned her.
It has to be said that Shen Yuzhi and Fu Jinan coincide with each other on this point.
Fu Jin'an also didn't expect that the little girl next to him would actually help him a lot in her seemingly stupid way.

After leaving Linglong Pavilion, Luo Ran originally wanted to visit Huang Jie, but now that her cousin had joined in to help, it saved her a lot of work, so she got on the carriage and went directly back home.
In Zuixian Tower, Liu Meng patted his full belly with both hands and said to the man beside him with satisfaction: "Second uncle, why didn't you come back earlier? You don't even know that Fu Mingzhu relies on her eldest brother to be the Jinyiwei Commander, I have been to Zuixian Tower several times, and she shows off her power in front of me all day long. But my grandmother and aunt still won’t let me teach her a lesson, I’m so angry!”
Liu Zimo stood in front of the window, looking at a young man and woman on the street, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Fu Mingzhu?"
Liu Meng'er pouted and said: "Yes! She has been dreaming all day about marrying her cousin and becoming the third prince's concubine. But my aunt said that when I grow up in the next year, she will let my cousin marry me. Who is she? ! Now I’m just using their family to run errands for my cousin, I really think I’m so awesome!”
Liu Zimo turned around and continued to look down.
Others said that the mayor of Shanning County was a righteous man who adopted two orphans of soldiers. But now everyone in the capital doesn't know that those two children are Fu Jin'an's children. Otherwise, according to the temperament of that living king of hell, can he raise children for others?
Everyone just knew it well and didn't say anything because of the emperor's face.
"What about the Lord of Shanning County? How about it?"
Liu Zimo suddenly asked.
"How about what?"
Liu Meng'er asked strangely.
Liu Zimo sat down and picked up the tea cup. A beautiful figure seemed to be reflected in the translucent tea: a graceful figure, fair cheeks, and charming appearance. Every frown and smile was touching.
Seeing that her second uncle was silent, Liu Meng'er thought for a while and said, "I don't know very well. She has been in Jiangnan before. She has only returned to Beijing for two years, and she doesn't go out much. But Luo Ruxue doesn't like her very much. Once she even tried to use me as a gunman to poison her!"
Liu Zimo's pupils shrank: "Mrs. Prince Jingguo?"
Liu Meng'er nodded and said with a smile: "Second uncle, you have only been back for a few days, and you already know almost all the women in this capital. When do you plan to marry me a second aunt?"
Liu Zimo flicked her smooth forehead with his finger: "Little girl Pianzi, what do you know! Have you eaten? Just leave after eating, I have something else to do!"
Liu Meng'er covered her head and acted coquettishly: "I'm not a little girl, I'll be thirteen after the Chinese New Year! But seriously, second uncle, you have to keep your eyes open when you marry a wife. Don't marry A woman like Luo Ruxue comes back! She's not as good as that Luo Ran. Although she has two children, she is good-looking and has a good temper. It's a pity that you came back late! If you came back two years earlier, maybe she would now It’s your wife!”
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Liu Zimo has been in the northwest for so many years and has no shortage of women. But no matter how juicy a woman is, she will be blown away by the wind and sand in that place, unlike the women in the capital who are as juicy as flowers.
But he, Liu Zimo, is not good at everyone.

Luo Ran's birthday is on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and it is also her first birthday after getting married.
Luo Ran didn't like liveliness at all, so he only invited his own family members to come over for a meal, even if it was a New Year banquet.
Early in the morning, Luo Ran woke up early and sat drowsily in front of the dressing mirror to let Youqing do her makeup.
But as I was combing my comb, I felt something was wrong. When I raised my eyes and saw the tall figure in the mirror, most of my drowsiness disappeared instantly: "Why are you here?"
This person was obviously gone when she woke up. When did he come back?
Fu Jinan held an ivory comb in his hand and combed her hair slowly.
Luo Ran glanced at the hourglass next to him and felt a little anxious, but he couldn't say it clearly. He just said, "Let You Qing do this kind of thing."
Fu Jin'an still lowered his head and fiddled with the hair in his hands seriously, saying: "Today is your birthday, and my husband will tie your hair personally."
Unable to hold on, Luo Ran had no choice but to sit down obediently.
