When Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they quickly shook their heads.

“Xiaoran, don’t let your imagination run wild! Before you came, my young master didn’t even have a girl by his side. After Yan Xiaoqiao accidentally met my young master once, she became deeply attracted to him and became obsessed with him. Every time she saw him, she would cling to him shamelessly. Every time, she would be stopped by his men!” Zi Cheng quickly explained.

“That’s right, that’s right! Other than you, Luo Cheng has never treated any other woman nicely. Yan Xiaoqiao is Prime Minister Yan’s biological granddaughter. She has been doted on since she was young and became spoiled over time. At that time, Yan Xiaoqiao claimed that Mr. Luo could only marry her, and Prime Minister Yan even helped her. In the end, Mr. Luo was annoyed and left the capital. Only then did Yan Xiaoqiao give up!” Zi Zheng quickly explained.

When Li Xiaoran heard Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng’s words, she wasn’t angry, but smiled instead.

“It seems that as soon as my husband’s identity was restored, some people can’t wait to curry favor! Unfortunately, these people miscalculated!”

Zi Cheng and Zi Cheng were stunned when they heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“Madam, what do you mean?”

“Think about it carefully. Since Prime Minister Yan dotes on Yan Xiaoqiao so much, how could he not know that Luo Cheng was expelled from the family? But have you seen Yan Xiaoqiao appear beside Luo Cheng all these years? You guys want to use the excuse that Prime Minister Yan didn’t know where Luo Cheng was? Do you guys even believe this yourself?” Li Xiaoran sneered as she analyzed.

“Now that Luo Cheng’s status as a prince has been restored and Xiao Dezi invited Luo Cheng into the royal family, Yan Xiaoqiao came looking for trouble. His motive is obvious. Doesn’t he just want his granddaughter to think of ways to cling to Luo Cheng? I, the consort of the Seventh Prince, am just a peasant from the countryside. How can I be a match for these noble ladies from the capital in terms of intellect, and scheming methods?! Therefore, they plan to get rid of me and she came to bring me down a notch!”

“Perhaps Prime Minister Yan will force your young master to marry Yan Xiaoqiao as his concubine in the future. Since ancient times, there have been many instances of concubines ousting the official wife, not to mention that I, a countryside woman with no foundation or backing, am the Seventh Prince’s consort!”

At this point, Li Xiaoran’s pretty face turned cold.

“Since some people think I’m a pushover, why don’t I make an example of Yan Xiaoqiao?!”

“Madam, please tell me what you want to do!” When Zi Cheng and Zi Xiaoran heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they immediately asked excitedly.

All these years, they had been keeping a low profile, so they really wanted to cause some trouble this time.

However, Luo Cheng had never given the order, so the two brothers had been suppressing their urge.

Now that Li Xiaoran had spoken, they naturally had to cooperate.

Li Xiaoran glanced at the two of them and said, “Then tell me about Yan

Xiaoqiao and Prime Minister Yan in detail! As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle.”

With that, Li Xiaoran looked at Wu Qinghe, who had his ears pricked up.

“And you, come over and listen too. It might be of great use to you!” When Wu Qinghe heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately came over.

“Madam, let me tell you, we actually know very much about Yan Xiaoqiao! Yan Xiaoqiao has done many outrageous things and has harmed countless handsome young men in the capital all these years!” Zi Cheng shared the information he had.

“She even harmed handsome young men? Fortunately, I didn’t rush out just now. Otherwise, I definitely would have been in danger!” Wu Qinghe said warily when he heard Zi Cheng’s words.

“Tsk!” Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng immediately scoffed.

Li Xiaoran held back her laughter, for fear that her laughter would bruise Wu Qinghe’s fragile ego.

“You guys are jealous that I’m handsome! Don’t worry, I won’t snatch Yan

Xiaoqiao from you guys!” Wu Qinghe looked very sincere as he said this.

“Urgh!” This time, Zi Cheng and Zi Zhen were about to vomit.

After joking around, the four of them talked about Yan Xiaoqiao.

“Although Yan Xiaoqiao likes to flirt with handsome men, she has never done anything that others can use against Prime Minister Yan. Moreover, Prime Minister Yan is very scheming and very difficult to deal with!” Zi Zheng added, in hopes that Li Xiaoran wouldn’t let her guard down.

“Since he became the Prime Minister, he naturally has something extraordinary about him. It’s unlikely that we can get something to use against Prime Minister Yan. However, I’m sure that Yan Xiaoqiao might not be that squeaky clean. Moreover, she doesn’t give me a good feeling. I keep feeling that she must have some secret we don’t know about!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.

“Yes, yes, yes. I think Yan Xiaoqiao has probably killed someone before. I saw that her aura was blood-colored. Generally speaking, this sort of blood-colored aura means that she has blood on her hands!” Wu Qinghe suddenly interrupted.

As soon as he said this, Zi Zheng and Zi Cheng looked at Wu Qinghe.

“What about us? Do we have a blood aura on us too?” Zi Cheng asked curiously, “You have to know that many people have died at their hands!” But at this moment, Wu Qinghe shook his head.

“You guys don’t have it on you. You guys are very clean!”

“How is this possible?” Zi exclaimed in disbelief.

“You’re wrong. Just because many people have died at your hands doesn’t mean you’ll have a blood-colored aura! According to your logic, won’t all executioners be covered in a blood-colored aura?” Wu Qinghe explained, “Only people who owe evil debts have a blood-colored aura!”

This time, Zi Cheng and Zi Cheng finally understood.

Although they had killed many people, they had never taken the initiative. They had done so to protect themselves. That was why they didn’t have evil debts.

“In that case, our breakthrough is Yan Xiaoqiao! Zi Cheng, Zi Zheng, send someone to investigate everything about Yan Xiaoqiao. The more detailed, the better!” Li Xiaoran said.

At the same time, Luo Cheng, who had entered the palace, met Prime Minister

Yan in the imperial study..
