Three days later, Kangxi's secret guards finally found out the inside story of Duan's mansion. The recruitment of a clerk was true, but the person who recruited the clerk was not the Miss Duan seen that day.

"No, Xuanye, this is too outrageous!"

After hearing Kangxi's explanation, Harigana didn't know what to say to Mr. Duan.

No wonder she gave me one thousand taels of silver. This was really human trafficking as she said.

"Well, it's not good for us to get involved in this!"

"Is that all? Did you find anything else?"

She felt really bad that day, and she trusted her intuition.

If the Duan Mansion really wanted to conceal its true identity and use the young lady as a matchmaker to find a man for Old Madam Duan, it would be impossible for them to hire so many people who knew martial arts to guard the mansion.

“The Duan Mansion does a lot of business and was once hijacked by bandits, so they hired someone to guard the yard. But that’s just their excuse.

Wei Jiu and his companions found the secret room in the study of the Duan Mansion, and only when they entered did they discover that there was someone inside.

Mr. Duan was indeed kidnapped by bandits that year, but he was not rescued by the government. Instead, he was locked up by the bandits.

They selected a few people to learn Mr. Duan's daily routine, and half a month later, they pretended to be rescued by the government and swaggered back to the Duan Mansion.

That night, they quietly arrested all the people in the Duan Mansion and locked them in a secret room.

During those days, the Duan Mansion closed its doors to visitors, saying that Mr. Duan was frightened and needed to rest. In fact, those bandits were secretly learning the behavior of Mrs. Duan and Old Madam Duan.

As for Miss Duan, she is the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes.

Mr. Duan has many concubines in his mansion, but because of his health, they are either daughters or have never been active.

Whether it was Mr. Duan or Mrs. Duan, whenever they were in a bad mood, they would beat and scold Miss Duan.

When she was ten years old, she secretly contacted the bandits and cooperated with them to capture Master Duan.

The servants of the Duan Mansion have not discovered it for so many years, and it is all because of Miss Duan.

"This is too cruel!"

Ten years old? What was she doing when she was ten?

That man was able to collude with bandits and had not been killed for so many years. He is really capable.

Kangxi looked at Harigana with a look of shock and thought that it was not that cruel. In many aristocratic families, children of five or six years old were mature enough to play adults at their will.

But he didn't want such a simple woman to be involved in those dirty things, so he didn't explain.

"That girl has something they want. As for what it is, the secret guards are investigating."

Kangxi was halfway through his words when he finally decided to tell her: "You said you felt bad that day, and you were right to be direct.

Mr. Duan liked beautiful women the most. The youngest was twelve years old and the oldest was thirty years old.

But they all have one thing in common, which is their extremely beautiful looks.

That’s why Miss Duan hates beautiful women. She will do everything she can to destroy anyone she dislikes.”

Although they brought secret guards with them that day and no one would get hurt if a fight really broke out, innocent people would still be hurt.

"This kind of person is the most terrifying. They don't have a good life themselves, and they don't let others have a good life either. They are really immoral."

Kangxi felt helpless when he heard that someone was obviously very angry but could only use the word "unethical".

Fortunately, the harem has now calmed down, otherwise, according to her personality, she would definitely suffer a great loss.

"Jiaojiao, Tong Jia has been taken away."

The topic changed so quickly that Harigana didn't react in time.

"what?"

He looked at Kangxi with confusion on his face, and then realized what he was talking about.

"Is this really okay? If the concubine is taken back home, won't people talk about it?"

Kangxi shook his head and held her in his arms again: "Jiaojiao, Tong Jia will still live in Chengqian Palace from now on. However, her health is not good and she needs to recuperate. She will not see anyone casually."

Harigana was stunned. This was a living dead!

But she deserves it!

There is more to life than just love and romance; there are many other things one can do.

She clearly knew what kind of person Kangxi was, but she still acted like that. It would be strange if she wasn't punished.

"Will the people in the Tong Mansion treat her well?"

The stupid question made Kangxi even more helpless, so he said that his Jiaojiao was very kind. Not only did he not take advantage of her misfortune, he even praised her and cared about her safety.

But that man was not worthy of Jiaojiao's concern. According to the secret guards, after she was brought back to Tong Mansion, he threatened to kill everyone.

There is no need to care about such a vicious person.

"Jiaojiao, Tong Guowei will take care of it, you don't have to worry."

Kangxi didn't say much. Once he left the palace, it had nothing to do with him. Life or death was all up to fate.

Harigana chuckled in her heart. Who was worried about her safety? She was afraid that Tong Guowei would not be able to keep a good eye on that person and that he would cause trouble again.

"Xuanye, she is your cousin after all!"

This sour remark made Kangxi's heart instantly tense, fearing that she would make a fuss.

"Jiaojiao, everyone in the Duan Mansion has been captured. Do you still want to go out and play?"

Harigana was speechless. Such an abrupt transition made her not know how to respond.

But she has a silly personality and needs to keep it up.

She looked up at him in surprise: "Xuanye, is this okay?"

Kangxi knew she would be like this, so he lowered his head and placed a kiss on the corner of her eye: "Whenever you want to leave, I'll ask Li Dequan to arrange someone!"

Harigana thought for a moment and said, "How about now?

I heard the scenery here is beautiful at night, can we go and see it?"

It is said that as soon as the two words were uttered, Kangxi knew it was Dulan who did it.

Every day he just goes out, either bringing snacks for Harigana or buying her a sketchbook.

I want to scold him, but I don’t know what reason to use.

You can't say that it's because he always thinks of something a step behind Dulan, right?

What if Dulan will not be scolded then, but Harigana will beat and scold him, saying that he is not taking it seriously?

I once again remembered Du Lan in my heart and I will definitely punish her severely when I have the chance in the future.

Du Lan, who was standing at the door, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, looked at the sunset in the sky, and wondered in his heart.

"Girl, you are not suffering from heatstroke?"

Li Dequan looked at Dulan nervously, causing Little Li beside him to pout.

He also wanted to sneeze to get the master's attention, but he was not in good health and couldn't sneeze even once after trying for a long time.

He could only watch his master care about Dulan, and the two of them whispered about what to eat to relieve their anger.

"Li Dequan!"

Just as he had asked Dulan to wash her face and cool it down, he heard someone calling him from inside and hurried in: "Your Majesty!"

Kangxi had already stood up, still helping Harigana straighten her clothes. "Go and get ready. The Imperial Concubine and I will go out for a walk and arrange for more manpower."

Li Dequan took the order and turned around to arrange people.

A quarter of an hour later, he got on the carriage directly from the Queen Mother's bedroom and prepared to set off.

"Xuanye, I wanted to ask you last time, what's in this bundle?"
