Chapter 2053: Ruan Kewei Might Have Committed Murder
Shu Yu and Ying Xi were waiting for him outside. When they saw Ruan Chengqian climb over the wall, they moved aside to let him jump down.
Fortunately, the neighboring dogs were still barking loudly, covering up the sound of his landing.
Ruan Chengqian stood up, exhaling deeply.
Shu Yu asked, "Which way to the Lou family's place?"
"This way."
In fact, if Shu Yu and Ying Xi were familiar with Ruan...

Chapter 2052: Can You Climb Over the Wall?
While contemplating, Ruan Chengqian handed a medicine pouch to Ruan Lipao. He said, "Alright, I'll inform the county princess about this matter. You should head back."
Ruan Lipao didn't ask further questions, but he had a feeling that Ruan Hai might be in trouble.
He whispered, "Just be careful with everything. If you need any help, don't hesitate to find me."
"You've already helped me enough," Ruan Chengqian replied with ...

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. H...

Chapter 2050: Lou Shi's Heartbeat
As Lou Shi's demeanor softened, Ruan Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. He observed his surroundings while quickly speaking, "We all know that Ruan Hai has done many wicked things, but he always covers his tracks, so we lack evidence. If possible, I hope you can find evidence of his wrongdoing."
"Evidence?" Lou Shi's mind was in turmoil. "But I..."
Ruan Chengqian suddenly started walking forward, "Someone's coming. I can't talk to you f...

The two villagers who were keeping an eye on things exchanged glances and quickly followed.
Neighboring residents who saw what was happening also joined in. There were quite a few people in Ruan Village who wanted to plant sunflowers now.
The seeds were easy to buy nowadays, but the problem was that someone had to buy the harvest if they planted them. If the Lu family's workshop didn't buy...

Chapter 2048: Being Followed
In typical rural households, people would go to the riverbank to wash clothes and beddings early in the morning. They would hang them in the yard to dry throughout the day, making them ready to be collected by evening.
Lou Shi used to follow this routine as well. However, after being beaten by Ruan Kewei, going to the river to wash clothes meant she had to roll up her sleeves and reveal her injuries. The riverbank was often crowded with gossiping wom...

Lou Shi's parents visited Ruan Kewei to hold him accountable. Ruan Kewei, who had been drinking, started beating them along with Lou Shi.
When he sobered up, Ruan Hai ordered him to apologize, claiming that the alcohol had clouded his judgment. In reality, there were no real consequences for his actions.
With Ruan Hai intervening, Ruan Kewei's cru...

Ruan Chengqian paid close attention to Ruan Hai and was well-informed about their family matters.
Lou Shi was the daughter-in-law of Ruan Hai's younger son, Ruan Kewei. Ruan Kewei was considered a late addition to the family, born to Ruan Hai when he was forty years old. Therefore, whether it was Ruan Hai and his wife or the Ruan siblings, they all doted on Ruan Kewei.
In addition to Ruan Hai's unparalleled status in the village, Ruan Kewei de...

It had been about seven years since those incidents took place.
"But at the time, I was weak, and it was just a passing thought. I only seriously considered it after Dalai became the manager of the Lu family's oil mi...
