Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The fruit shops’ business was good, and the grilled fish shop was also doing well.

During this period of time, the grilled fish shop in White Foothill City also opened.

The fish in the fish pond in the farmstead were sent out every day.

Fortunately, there was an endless supply of ice, so when the fish were sent to town or White Foothill City, they were all alive.

In addition, the wine shop had also opened a branch in White Foothill City, so Uncle He went straight to White Foothill City to manage the wine shop.

Because everything was on the right track, for the wine shop in town, they chose a suitable person working for the shopkeeper Mr. He to become the shopkeeper.

Because they were experienced, the wine shop ran smoothly without any problems.

During this period of time, Luo Cheng focused on the Third Prince, Ling Heng.

During this period of time, Luo Cheng studied how to detoxify Ling Heng’s poison every day.

In the beginning, it was useless and even worsened Ling Heng’s injuries.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng had a new idea recently and inadvertently came up with an antidote.

Although the effect of the medicine was very slow, it was effective.

As a result, Ling Heng no longer had to lie on the bed. He could walk a few rounds on the ground with the help of others.

Considering that Luo Cheng and Ling Heng had lost a lot of weight recently, Li Xiaoran wanted to nourish their bodies!

Because the weather was hot, they probably wouldn’t be able to eat stew.

Li Xiaoran simply went to find someone to buy some milk. Then, she brought over an oven.

Eggs were very nourishing, but they were sick of eating boiled eggs, steamed eggs, sunny-side up, and scrambled eggs.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran was craving egg tarts, so she wanted to make them.

Egg tart liquid was easy to get as long as there were eggs and milk. The egg tart skin was a little difficult to make. It needed a lot of things and butter.

There was no more butter, so Li Xiaoran could only try using lard instead.

After Luo Cheng gave the newly developed medicine to his third brother, he went to the courtyard with him.

Now, Ling Heng could slowly walk on his own.

“Third Brother, I’ve already reported your matter to Father. I believe there will be news soon! It’s just that I don’t understand. It’s normal for those people to try to ambush you and kill you, but there’s no need to poison you first and then arrange for assassins to kill you! Unless the person who arranged for the assassins and the person who poisoned you were two different groups of people and these two groups of people weren’t together at all!” Luo Cheng voiced his guess.

Ling Heng had been bedridden during this period of time.contemporary romance

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out who had poisoned him.

As for the assassination attempts, it wasn’t difficult to guess. The culprits were probably none other than his brothers.

However, the poison was very unexpected.

He was very careful about his meals and wouldn’t eat other people’s food.

And the food he ate was exactly the same as that of the people around him.

Why was he poisoned when the people around him were fine?

Therefore, he was probably poisoned when he was still in the capital.

He had been schemed against in the past, so every month, he would invite the imperial physician over to take his pulse and check his health.

The imperial physician who took his pulse was his man, and no one knew that this imperial physician was his man.

Therefore, it was unlikely that the imperial physician was the culprit.

Then, the problem arose in the period after the last pulse check.

There were only ten days between the last time the imperial physician took his pulse to him leaving the capital.

In other words, the people, food, and items he came into contact with in the past ten days were all possible.

But for the past ten days, he rarely went out.

He stayed at home most of the time. The only time he went out was to go to the royal family.

After thinking about it, Ling Heng felt a headache.

He really couldn’t figure out what the problem was.

“Alright, Third Brother, don’t think about it for the time being! The more you think about it, the less you’ll be able to think of it, so you might as well relax. You might remember it then!” Luo Cheng persuaded.

As soon as he finished speaking, a milky fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.

“What’s that smell? It smells so good! I immediately felt hungry when I smelled it!” Ling Heng asked curiously when he smelled this aroma.

“This is the first time I’ve smelled this aroma as well. Perhaps Xiaoran is cooking something delicious. Let’s go take a look now!” Luo Cheng was also tempted, so he helped Ling Heng towards the kitchen.

After Li Xiaoran confirmed that the egg tarts were made, she smiled.

After taking the egg tarts out of the oven with tongs made of bamboo, Li Xiaoran saw Luo Cheng and Ling Heng walking in.

“Third Brother, husband, you guys came after smelling the aroma?!”

“That’s right. What are you cooking?! Smells so delicious!” Ling Heng said with a smile.

During this period of time, Ling Heng and Li Xiaoran had interacted quite a lot.

After interacting with her during this period of time, Ling Heng understood Li Xiaoran’s situation a little.

Ling Heng was very envious of his seventh brother.

Although his seventh brother’s life had been difficult in the past, ever since he met Li Xiaoran, his life had changed drastically.

Among them all, his seventh brother had the most comfortable lifestyle.

“Hubby, bring Third Brother to wash his hands and sit at the dining table. This egg tart has just been cooked. It has to cool down before it can be eaten. Otherwise, it’ll be very hot!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

Luo Cheng nodded and helped his Third Brother wash his hands.

Li Xiaoran placed the unbaked egg tarts in the oven and continued to parched them.

After doing all this, Li Xiaoran placed the egg tarts on a plate and brought them to the table.

Because they had roasted a lot, Li Xiaoran called Ziyang and Zi Zheng over to try it together.

There were a total of five on everyone’s plate. Because the temperature was just right now, everyone ate the egg tarts.

Because there was no foil, this simplified version of the egg tart was placed in egg tart skin.

With a gentle squeeze, the crisp sound of egg tart skin sounded.

After tasting the freshness of the egg tart liquid inside, the few of them began to eat a second one.

Soon, the plate of egg tarts was finished.

Ling Heng couldn’t help but praise, “To be honest, although I don’t like sweet food much, this is the first time I’ve been fascinated by sweets! Sister-in-law, you’re really smart to think of a way to make such delicious food!”
