Only by personally participating in some things can you understand the situation and avoid being constantly in a passive position.
Although the imperial power of the Great Chu Dynasty is supreme and the Duke of Dingguo is a member of the imperial family, since he has attacked her grandmother, Su Ruojin will definitely seek justice for her grandmother if given the opportunity.
All of this requires a thorough understanding of oneself and one's enemy.
She must participate in saving her grandmother!
Seeing that Su Ruojin really got up and left without any hesitation, Jiang Qi'an hurriedly called out, "Miss Su, please wait."
Jiang Qi'an sighed inwardly. This little girl was stubborn enough; there was really no way to deal with her.
Su Ruojin turned around, looked at Jiang Qi'an, and waited for him to speak without saying anything.
Jiang Qi'an pointed to the seat: "Miss Su, please sit down. Let's discuss this."
Su Ruojin then sat down.
Jiang Qi'an stopped rambling: "Zhou Renjiang, the manager of Cuiyun Villa, has a peculiar fetish. He likes to torture young girls, and every now and then, several young girls' corpses are sent out from the estate."
But because he was the cousin of the Duke of Dingguo, and most of these girls came from poor families, with their children dead, who would dare to challenge the Duke of Dingguo?
However, this Zhou Renjiang almost never leaves the manor. I plan to have someone infiltrate the area and use Zhou Renjiang to find out the whereabouts of Old Madam Lin.
Jiang Qi'an didn't say it explicitly, but Su Ruojin understood. He planned to find someone to pretend to be a girl from a poor family and pretend to be taken to Cuiyun Villa to gather information.
The other party is the Duke of Dingguo. If we openly investigate, we might alert him and he might move or destroy the traces, making it even more difficult to find him again.
"What kind of girl does Zhou Renjiang like?" Su Ruojin asked.
“Zhou Renjiang was in charge of the estate and could not leave without the Duke of Dingguo’s permission. So he sent his trusted men to the surrounding villages to find pretty girls aged eight to sixteen for him to molest. None of these girls survived,” Jiang Qi’an explained in detail.
"Isn't anyone going to do anything about how he treats human life so carelessly?" Su Ruojin blurted out subconsciously, but as soon as she said it, she realized that she had just said something pointless.
In such a dynasty, the lives of ordinary people were worth less than the dogs of powerful and wealthy families. Who would dare to sue the Duke of Dingguo? And even if they did, what could they do?
A thought flashed through her mind, and Su Ruojin noticed something amiss: "Zhou Renjiang is just a manager of a manor, so why is he being restricted from going out?"
Jiang Qi'an looked at Su Ruojin approvingly; this little girl was indeed clever.
“The Cuiyun Villa has always been shrouded in mystery. There are rumors that it contains many secret passages and dungeons, but no one knows the specifics,” Jiang Qi’an explained.
"Alright, then I'll go check out this Cuiyun Villa!" Su Ruojin's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of ruthlessness.
If there is anything special about this place, then Zhou Renjiang's inability to leave Zhuangzi at will can be explained.
“Okay, then tomorrow I’ll find someone to dress up as a peasant girl and figure out a way to get noticed by the people on the estate. We’ll just follow behind her,” Jiang Qi’an said.
Jiang Qi'an's method sounded good, but Su Ruojin rejected it: "No, I'll dress up as a peasant girl."
"No way!" Jiang Qi'an refused without even thinking.
Although Su Ruojin was not an ordinary weak woman, the situation was dangerous, and he could not accept any mishap.
“Young Master Jiang, nothing ventured, nothing gained. You don’t need to worry, I am fully capable of protecting myself. If you disagree, we can split up and not interfere with each other,” Su Ruojin insisted.
Jiang Qi'an was speechless for a moment, he really couldn't do anything with her: "Then it's settled, you have to send a signal if there is any danger."
This time, Su Ruojin immediately agreed. She wasn't stupid; why wouldn't she send a signal if there was danger?
After returning home and tidying up, Su Ruojin returned to her former appearance at the Lin residence.
She didn't tell Jiang Qi'an the real reason why she insisted on pretending to be a peasant girl!
