After changing many people in a row, Li Xiaoran used many ways to scare these people. In the end, she finally finished looking at everyone around Duan Kaiyuan.

In the end, Li Xiaoran caught three people and handed a map to Duan Kaiyuan. “This is the order and position of the people I’ve seen before. There’s something wrong with the three people I drew circles with!”

When Duan Kaiyuan heard this, he took the map and looked at it carefully.

After looking at it, Duan Kaiyuan’s pupils dilated and he looked at Li Xiaoran in disbelief.

“Are you sure? There’s something wrong with all three of them?”

Li Xiaoran asked with a smile when she heard Duan Kaiyuan’s words, “Are you very surprised? If I had let you deal with it, you wouldn’t have suspected these three people, right?”

Duan Kaiyuan nodded and affirmed Li Xiaoran’s thoughts.

These three people were usually inconspicuous people. If not for the fact that Duan Kaiyuan wanted to reshuffle the people around him this time, he wouldn’t have known that he had these three people by his side.

“These three people aren’t my trusted aides. Why did you choose them?” Duan Kaiyuan asked the question on his mind.

“You only see them as inconspicuous, but you don’t see what they can do. Young Master Duan, if you don’t believe me, investigate the interpersonal relationships of these three people! As long as you investigate, you’ll realize that the relationships between these three people and your trusted aides are inextricably linked. Unknowingly, these three people have already roped in the people around you.” With that, Li Xiaoran called Shu Ruyue and Duan Sha to leave together.

Duan Sha looked at her brother and walked forward to remind him, “Second

Brother, I think the consort;s words make sense. Investigate them carefully!”

Duan Kaiyuan nodded and reminded her, “Sister, stay at the consort’s place for the time being! I’ll come to you after I settle these things and make sure that there’s no danger!”

Duan Sha nodded and said, “Alright, Second Brother, you have to pay more attention to your own safety!”

After Li Xiaoran and the others left, Duan Kaiyuan immediately took the three of them away and tapped their sleeping acupoints.

After that, Duan Kaiyuan began to investigate all the activities of these three people.

After checking, they were shocked.

As expected, his trusted aides were more or less related to these three people.

On the surface, they didn’t seem to be on good terms, but through friends, they could indirectly obtain a lot of information.

At this moment, Duan Kaiyuan couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.

Fortunately, he didn’t ask Luo Cheng for help!

Otherwise, with his methods, it would be impossible to discover these three people.

The interrogation that followed confirmed everything. These three people had secretly done everything that had happened previously.

The person Duan Kaiyuan suspected was actually an innocent person who had taken the blame for the three of them.

Duan Sha walked beside Li Xiaoran and asked curiously, “Consort, how did you determine that there was something wrong with those three people?” Li Xiaoran smiled at Duan Sha.

“If you were the fourth prince and wanted to plant people in someone else’s house, what would you do?”

When Duan Sha heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she thought about it carefully. “They definitely can’t become one of his confidants! If one can be considered a confidant, one must have been investigated and confirmed to be a very reliable person! Therefore, it’s impossible for someone to become his confidant without decades worth of experience!”

Li Xiaoran said, “That’s why! The more inconspicuous the spies are, the more they can survive!”

“Then why did you use all kinds of methods to scare them?” Duan Sha asked again.

Li Xiaoran said, “If I didn’t scare them and let them reveal their flaws, should I have waited for them patiently? I didn’t want to waste time waiting for them, so I might as well use other methods to try!”

When Duan Sha heard this, she immediately looked enlightened.

“I really didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable! You have such smart methods even when investigating spies. It seems that I have to learn more from you in the future!”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “It’s not a skill. At most, it’s human nature and meticulousness! It’s not that you can’t do it, but you won’t spend effort to do it! Once you’re determined to do something well, you’ll think of all kinds of ways to do it. Naturally, you’ll have endless wisdom!”

“Actually, it’s not just catching spies. Intelligence is needed in every aspect of life! For example, if you were the one handling this matter, how would you counterattack the fourth prince?” Li Xiaoran tried to guide her.

When Duan Sha heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her face was filled with surprise.

“It’s not my place to make decisions!”

Li Xiaoran asked, “Then why don’t you think about it? If you could make the decision on this matter, what would you do?”

When Duan Sha heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she fell into deep thought.

This question was like a key that unlocked Duan Sha’s train of thought.

After returning to the house, Duan Sha locked herself in the house and thought hard about it.

After Shu Ruyue watched Duan Sha return to her room, she looked at Li

Xiaoran and asked, ‘Xiaoran, why did you make her think about these things?”

“Because she has to face all of this! It’s impossible for the Duan family to protect her for the rest of her life! Besides, if she wants to be with Luo Han in the future, she’ll have to experience a lot of trouble and difficulties. Therefore, she has to start changing. If she doesn’t change, she’ll become a burden to others!” Li Xiaoran said.

Wasn’t she working hard to learn a lot now?

There was endless knowledge. Only by becoming better and better could one stay ahead.

On the third prince’s consort’s side, Ma Mengjia, who needed to recuperate quietly, wasn’t.

Originally, she had come with a purpose. Unexpectedly, she met with misfortune the moment she arrived.

First, she didn’t get to see the Third Prince, then she was insulted by Luo Cheng. Now, she couldn’t move and could only stay in this shabby house to recuperate.

The more Ma Mengjia thought about it, the more anxious she became.

“No, I can’t wait any longer! Granny, quickly get someone to find out where the Third Prince is! As long as we find the Third Prince, everything will be fine!” Ma Mengjia said to Granny Zhou.

When Granny Zhou heard Ma Mengjia’s words, she immediately felt bitter.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to do what the third prince’s consort had instructed, but she didn’t have the ability to!

If they were in the capital, she would have a place to show off her skills, but in such an unfamiliar place, she had nowhere to show off her abilities!
