Shu Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, the body has been found, which is the biggest evidence. The coroners in the yamen aren't just sitting around doing nothing. Even without us, they will find the murderer very quickly."

Besides, given Ruan Kewei's cowardice, he might confess on his own with the slightest trick.

Yingxi finished his meal quickly, rested for a short while, and then stood up to prepare to leave.

Shu Yu whispered a few more instructions to her, and Ying Xi nodded in response. Then she led out the carriage that was parked in the backyard.

There were still some villagers outside Ruan Chengchun's house. When they saw Ying Xi leading the carriage alone towards the village entrance, and confirmed that the county magistrate had not just given them a perfunctory attitude, they were relieved and went home chatting and laughing.

After finishing lunch, Shu Yu rested for a while.

Seeing that a number of villagers had gathered outside the door, Shu Yu simply went out.

However, after a quick glance, she noticed that there were fewer villagers than in the morning, which suggested that Ruan Hai had become restless and started taking action.

It doesn't matter, her goal was the corpse on the mountain anyway.

The more Ruan Hai threatens the villagers who want to grow sunflowers, the greater the backlash he will suffer when it is revealed that his son is a murderer.

"Since everyone is in such a hurry, let's go and have a chat at the village chief's house."

The villagers were a little embarrassed when they saw this. "Did we disturb the county magistrate's rest? It's alright, we can wait for the county magistrate to rest for a while."

"Yes, yes, the county princess must not have slept much yesterday. She got up early this morning to send Granny Ruan up the mountain."

Shu Yu waved her hand, "It's okay, it's all the same."

Just as she was about to leave, Ruan Chengqian, standing at the door, suddenly spoke up, "Princess, I don't think you'll be able to finish your business this afternoon. Why don't you stay here tonight?"

"No, we should be able to get it sorted out this afternoon. We'll head back once we've settled things; we've been out long enough."

"Then the county princess should stay for dinner before leaving. We'll start our meal early."

Shu Yu thought for a moment, "That works too."

"What would you like to eat tonight, Your Highness? I'll have my wife prepare it quickly."

Ruan Chengqian seemed very attentive, which everyone else thought was normal. If the county princess were staying at their house, they would also do their best to entertain her, trying their best to find delicious food and fun things to serve her.

After a moment of contemplation, Shu Yu said to Ruan Chengqian, "It's fine, you can decide what to do."

"Then I'll go up the mountain to trap some game, and we'll have some wild game for dinner."

Shu Yu nodded and was then surrounded by the villagers as she went to Ruan Hai's house.

However, Ruan Hai did learn about their conversation at the door. Although he frowned deeply when he heard that Ruan Chengqian wanted to go up the mountain to trap prey.

However, there are no roads in the burial site, and it is quite difficult to walk. Villagers usually go up the mountain from the other side to trap prey, which is some distance from the burial site.

Shu Yu kept turning to look at Ruan Hai because of his expression. "Why is Village Chief Ruan so distracted? Does he have a problem with what I just said? By the way, why are there so few people this afternoon? I don't think I saw that Ruan Qiang who said he really wanted to plant sunflowers. Did he change his mind?"

As soon as Shu Yu spoke, Ruan Hai immediately snapped out of his daze, putting aside everything else and focusing on dealing with the troublesome woman in front of him.

Ruan Hai made an excuse to change the subject and asked when Shu Yu Daniu would be coming.

Shu Yu calculated the time and said, "It should be soon. Anyway, let's chat first, and when Brother Da Niu comes, we can go directly to the field to take a look."
