Chapter 2051: Lou Shi Acts So Quickly


Ruan Chengchun glanced at Shu Yu, who remained composed despite the villagers bombarding him with questions. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

After washing her hands, Shu Yu saw Ruan Chengqian coming out of the house and asked, "How did it go?"

"I managed to talk to her, but it was quite intense, and she didn't make up her mind on the spot. Someone came to the riverbank, so we need to give her some time to think it over. However, I don't think there should be a problem. She actually wants to leave the Ruan family as soon as possible more than anyone else."

Shu Yu nodded, "Alright, if she does find evidence of Ruan Hai's wrongdoing and decides to act, come to the county town to find me." She was planning to leave after handling old Ruan's funeral tomorrow.

"Okay."

Both Shu Yu and Ruan Chengqian felt that it would take at least a few days for Lou Shi to think things through and find an opportunity to gather evidence.

However, to their surprise, on that same night, while Shu Yu was preparing to rest in her room, the gate of the Ruan family's courtyard was knocked on.

It was currently the third quarter of the dog hour, nearly nine o'clock.

Shu Yu and Ying Xi exchanged glances before putting on their clothes. Ruan Chengqian had already opened the courtyard gate and was looking at Ruan Lipao, who appeared to be in a hurry.

Ruan Lipao seemed very anxious, "Chengqian, remember last time you said that Ruan Dalai, brought a calming medicine for your daughter? Do you still have any left? My daughter seems to have been frightened and is shivering and crying. If you have any, please give me a dose."

Ruan Chengqian knew he didn't actually have any calming medicine, and seeing Ruan Lipao blink rapidly as if he were twitching, he instantly understood what was happening. However, he had to maintain a sense of urgency, "Yes, I have some. Come in first, and I'll get it for you. But you need to tell me the details of what happened. This calming medicine can't be taken casually. In my opinion, it would be better to take her to see a doctor."

"At this hour? There are no doctors in our village, and I don't see any signs of physical injury on her. Let's give her the calming medicine first."

While they talked, they entered the house, and Ruan Chengqian closed the courtyard gate. This naturally blocked the view of the people who were still watching outside.

Once inside the main hall, Ruan Chengqian asked in a low voice, "Do you have something important to tell me?"

Ruan Lipao nodded repeatedly, "It's the Lou family that sent me. I don't know the specifics, but I heard that Lou Shi ran back to her mother's home after being beaten again in the dead of night. Then, Uncle Lou came to find me and asked me to come to your house and tell you that Lou Shi wants to see the county princess."

Speaking in a hushed voice, Ruan Lipao continued, "Why would Lou Shi want to see the county princess? Could it be that she wants the county princess to intervene?"

At first, Ruan Lipao didn't want to get involved in the Ruan Hai family's affairs. Although he sympathized with Lou Shi, he also knew that seeking help from the county princess wouldn't be effective for something like this.

However, Lou Shi's uncle insisted that they come to find him as an intermediary and emphasized that there were people watching outside the Ruan family's house, warning him not to accidentally reveal anything.

So, Ruan Lipao had come up with this excuse to enter their home.

At this moment, he wore a skeptical expression, but Ruan Chengqian didn't answer his question. Instead, he asked, "Has Lou Shi really gone back to her mother's house?"

"Yes, according to what Lou Shi told me, she has something very important to discuss with the county princess."

Ruan Chengqian hadn't expected Lou Shi to act so quickly. It had only been one night; could she have already found evidence?
