Otherwise, how could the target be located so accurately? No one but the emperor could devise such a meticulous plan.

Similarly, it also means that the emperor could not accurately determine which prince was plotting against her, so he resorted to this drastic measure of placing all the houses outside the palace.

Thinking of this, Li Youran suddenly had a bad feeling. Would the prince who actually committed the crime take this opportunity to frame the other princes?

Thinking of this, Li Youran hastily threw on a coat and ran towards the Second Prince's Consort's courtyard, completely ignoring Xiao Hong chasing after her with her shoes in hand.

"I never imagined you were so thoughtful; these are things I hadn't even considered..."

After hearing Li Youran's speculation, the Second Prince's Consort summoned the Second Prince's retainers and told them to be extra careful and not to give bad people any opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"No matter what, you are a lady. How can you let this young girl point her finger at you and curse you like that? It's really too much."

The Prime Minister's wife shook her head and sighed as she spoke.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have entrusted the supply of fine salt to Li Youran."

Madam Xia's eyes lit up after hearing what the Prime Minister's wife said. Currently, all the fine salt in the Xia family was purchased from Li Youran.

If the Xia family could bypass Li Youran and directly bring Xi Yan over, they might be able to achieve something great.

Seeing this, the Prime Minister's wife knew that Madam Xia was interested, so she continued to speak.

"Unfortunately, Li Youran is law-abiding and has not done anything outrageous, so there is no reason to cut off her supply."

"That's hard to say."

Hongxiu leaned against the soft couch and said.

Seeing this, Madam Xia looked over at Hongxiu.

To be honest, Madam Xia had always been puzzled as to why the Prime Minister's wife was with Hongxiu.

However, Madam Xia was clever. She knew that there were many things that high-ranking families couldn't talk about, so she wisely chose to keep quiet.

"Actually, this matter is quite simple to handle, but we don't know exactly where Li Youran's warehouse for storing fine salt is."

Although Hongxiu did not explicitly state what her plan was, Madam Xia could guess it pretty much, and upon seeing this, she hurriedly flattered her.

"This matter isn't difficult to handle..."

After hearing Madam Xia's words, the Prime Minister's wife and Hongxiu exchanged a glance and tacitly agreed.

“Miss, Aunt Tian cursed at you earlier, is it really appropriate for us to go to the Tian residence?”

Xiao Hong looked at Li Youran with a worried expression. She really couldn't understand why her young lady would do such a thing. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

At this moment, Li Youran could not care about anything else. Her most urgent task was to find Tian Alang and ask him to help her come up with some solutions.

"Shameless little slut, everyone in the capital knows you're engaged to someone else. What are you doing coming to the Tian family to cause trouble? Do you have to bewitch my grandson before you're satisfied?"

The storm came so fiercely. Li Youran had just arrived at the entrance of the Tian residence and hadn't even had a chance to announce his arrival when Aunt Tian, ​​as if she had foreseen it, rushed out and started cursing at Li Youran.

"Princess..."

The servant in charge of guarding the gate had previously worked for the Minister's mansion and knew of Li Youran's noble status. Seeing Madam Tian cursing at Li Youran, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow.

"Please go and inform Tian Alang that I have something important to discuss with him."

Li Youran did not take his anger out on the servants. He smiled and said that after receiving Li Youran's instructions, the gatekeeper ran faster than a whirlwind.

“Aunt Tian, ​​I have treated you as an elder and have been tolerant of you time and time again, but you have only become more and more humiliating to me.”

Li Youran glanced coldly at Aunt Tian and continued.

"I never expected you to repay the kindness that saved my life, but how can you repay kindness with such ingratitude? Can you live with yourself?"

Through these days of experience, Li Youran has developed an innate nobility. Although she did not lose her temper, she exuded a dignified and imposing presence.

Suddenly, Tian Niangzi felt a little afraid of Li Youran.

"When did I ever repay kindness with enmity?"

Aunt Tian said guiltily.

"It's obvious that you used the fact that you saved my grandson's life to seduce him. Let me tell you, I will never let your scheme succeed. My grandson has a bright future ahead of him. Not to mention rich young ladies, even princesses would be vying to marry him."

When Tian Niangzi spoke of the princess, her hatred for Li Youran deepened even further.

A few days ago, the Fourth Princess sent someone to deliver a message, saying that if Tian Alang was interested, they would give him special treatment so that he could pass the imperial examination smoothly, become the top scholar, and then stage a beautiful drama of the top scholar marrying the princess.

But Tian Alang refused without even thinking. Aunt Tian, ​​standing to the side, stomped her feet in anger, thinking that Sun must still be thinking about that vixen Li Youran. Otherwise, she would definitely have agreed.

Where can you find such a wonderful marriage? Although the princess is a few years older than her grandson, she is still a princess!

If my grandson becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, he will marry a princess and become her consort, a man of noble status who will bring glory to our ancestors!

"You should leave now. Our Ah Lang won't see you, and don't come here again."

"Grandma, Miss Li is my savior, how can you treat her like this!"

Just then, Tian Alang rushed out in a panic. He had heard from the servants that his grandmother had cursed Li Youran again, so he was extremely anxious and ran all the way.

"Young Master Tian, ​​I have something important to discuss with you."
