“I asked the children in the village, and they said that some strangers did come to the village a few days ago.”
"Have you inquired carefully about what they look like?"
“I asked, and the children said there were peddlers who went from street to street, women who came to the village to collect embroidery pieces, and some people who came to visit relatives… there were too many to remember. But I didn’t see a woman as tall as you described, wearing a veil.”
Su Ruanruan pondered for a moment, then took out about ten copper coins from her bosom. "Then could you please ask them if they have seen this girl in the village? This is what she looks like without her veil."

Once it was wide enough, Bai Ruan finally felt comfortable. Before Su Ruanruan could catch it, it chased after the butterfly again.
Su Ruanruan had no choice but to put the low cabinet back to its original state.
