As the merchant spoke, he instructed the servants to bring a wooden box from the carriage. Then, Luo Cheng pulled the merchant to the other side of the shop and began to choose.

Li Xiaoran knew that Luo Cheng must have his reasons, so she didn’t interfere. Instead, she looked at Luo Ziyang.

“Sister-in-law, this silver…” Luo Ziyang was about to say something when he saw Li Xiaoran wave her hand, and he immediately swallowed his words.

“Ziyang, let’s go to the back and get some firewood! I think we’re almost out of firewood!” Li Xiaoran said.

Luo Ziyang understood and immediately followed Li Xiaoran to the woodshed at the back.

The woodshed was at the far end. There were usually no people there, so it was the most convenient place to talk.

“Did you notice something?” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Ziyang and asked.

“Sister-in-law, this silver looks similar to official silver, but I can say with certainty that it’s not official silver from our government. Instead, it seems to be silver forged by some faction.” As Luo Ziyang spoke, he took out the silver and said, “Look, Sister-in-law, the silver made by the government looks brighter on the surface, but this silver looks a little rough on the surface.

However, such a small difference won’t be noticed by ordinary people!”

Li Xiaoran took the silver, then took out some other silver ingots from her pocket to compare.

Sure enough, on closer inspection, there was a difference.

The silver ingots forged by the government seemed more exquisite, while the counterfeit money didn’t seem to have been refined as well as the genuine ones.

“Do you think that merchant noticed the difference in the silver?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked Luo Ziyang.

“Sister-in-law, do you mean that there’s a problem with this merchant?” Luo Ziyang immediately understood what Li Xiaoran meant and asked.

“Ziyang, think about it. What’s the best way to use this money?” Li Xiaoran reminded.

“Put it in an independent bank, or do business with it.” At this point, Luo Ziyang already understood something. “I’ll go look for Brother Luo and tell him about this guess!”

“Don’t go. He had probably already gone to investigate. There might be a result soon! Don’t alert the enemy prematurely. Just secretly send people to follow this caravan. For some reason, this caravan doesn’t give me a good feeling. As long as we follow them, we will definitely find something. However, their people are very vigilant, so the people we send to follow them must be extremely careful!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and reminded him.

Luo Ziyang nodded and walked towards the shop with Li Xiaoran.

After a while, with satisfaction on their faces, Luo Cheng and the merchant shook hands and said goodbye. Then, the caravan set off.

After the caravan left, Luo Cheng stopped smiling and his expression turned solemn.

“It seems that you’ve already discovered something!” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng and said.

“Yes! However, I still have to handle these matters personally! Wife, in the future, when caravans or merchants pass by our shop, we have to carefully check the silver they take out. If you discover any counterfeit money in the future, just accept it all. I will compensate you for the lost money!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “If those people are really as I expect, then shops like ours might receive more and more counterfeit money!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and said calmly, “Don’t worry! As long as I receive counterfeit money, I’ll hand it to you!”

At this point, Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and added.

“Husband, I know you’re someone who deals with important things. I won’t ask you what you want to do. I just hope that you can protect yourself at all times. You’re different from before. In addition, if you need my help, feel free to ask.

You know my capabilities. I can help you!”

Luo Cheng nodded, then an apologetic look appeared in his eyes.

“I originally wanted to accompany you after settling those people in barren mountain. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen not long after. But don’t worry, the wedding date won’t be changed. I’ll definitely marry you in March!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she smiled and nodded. “Alright, I believe you!”

“Then I’ll be leaving. Ziyang will stay here. Tell him to listen to your orders!” With that, Luo Cheng rushed out of the shop.

Although Li Xiaoran was reluctant, she wasn’t a sentimental person.

She was an elite-educated modern-era independent woman, so she wouldn’t cling to a man.

After all, she had a career!

Although in Luo Cheng’s eyes, these were just trivial matters, in Li Xiaoran’s heart, these were the things she should focus on at the moment. After thinking it through, Li Xiaoran returned to the shop and busied herself.

After the caravan arrived just now, the shop was in a mess.

There were also many leftover fruit rinds on the ground, and even some trash by the official road.

When Li Xiaoran saw this trash, she frowned.

After cleaning up her shop, Li Xiaoran called a few men out to clean up the trash left outside.

After the trash by the official road was cleared, Li Xiaoran looked at the road with relief.

“If only we could plant some beautiful flowers on the ground beside our shop!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.

“Planting flowers? No problem. What flowers do you want to plant? I’ll get seeds for you!” Luo Ziyang said.

“Don’t buy those that are too high maintenance. They have to be easy to raise. You don’t have to spend any effort. Just a large patch of flowers will do!” Li Xiaoran said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoran thought of a flower.

Before she could speak, Luo Ziyang remembered something.

“I know. Plant those colorful types of flowers! I know someone who has this sort of flower’s seeds! But, it’s not easy to plant those types of flowers!”

When Li Xiaoran heard that it wasn’t easy to plant them, she quickly refused.

“Forget it, let’s plant some flowers that are easy to raise! By the way, let’s plant some sunflowers in March! They look pretty and we can eat melon seeds after they mature!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.

“Seeds for sunflowers are everywhere. We can buy some!” Luo Ziyang said.

Mao Dao thought of something and said, “Why don’t we plant some osmanthus flowers?! In August, osmanthus flowers will smell very fragrant. When the wind blows, its fragrance will spread over a large area!”

“In that case, we might as well plant Michelias. When the time comes, we can use it to brew wine, and it can be used to treat mosquito bites!” Yuan Cheng retorted..
