After I went through the book, I criticized the villain but he insisted on pampering me

Qianyu pushed the door open and said sarcastically, "Oh, you are so relaxed and at ease here, eating well and living well. It's a pity that our young master has been looking for you for so many days."

Su Xueer was startled and raised her head suddenly. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then it was replaced by worry.

"Why are you here?" Su Xueer asked in a low voice.

Qian Yu said anxiously, "You suddenly disappeared for so many days, and you only sent a beggar to bring a message to the young master. How could the young master not worry about you? You are such a heartless person. It's a pity that our young master is so good to you."

Han Moqian also echoed: "Yes, Xue'er, what are you doing in Lihua Village? Come with us."

Su Xueer shook her head and said firmly: "I won't leave. I want to find out the secret of Lihua Village. Moreover, I want to save Li Muzi. He may have been deceived."

Qian Yu said anxiously, "What a mess! Who is Li Muzi? The master is very worried about you. Come back with us first. It's too dangerous here. If you are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous. Do you know how much effort the master has put in to find you?"

Su Xueer looked at them with a firm gaze and said, "I have to stay in Lihua Village for Sanlang as well."

"Why?" Qianyu was puzzled.

"I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway, if I don't stay in Lihua Village and save Li Muzi, Sanlang might be in danger. Qianyu, you have to believe me."

Han Moqian tried to persuade him, "Even if you want to investigate and save someone, you have to ensure your own safety first. It won't be too late to think of a solution after we go back and make a long-term plan."

Su Xueer still refused, took out the strange stone wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms, and handed it to Qianyu: "Take this to Sanlang, and let him find out what it is."

Qian Yu had no choice but to take the stone: "Okay, then you must be careful. Let's go meet up with the young master first."

Su Xueer nodded: "You guys go quickly, don't get discovered."

Qianyu and Han Moqian had no choice but to leave and return along the same route.

He avoided the patrolling guards, jumped out of Lihua Village, and returned to Chi Rui.

When Chi Rui saw them coming back but didn't see Amelia Su, he frowned and said anxiously, "Where is she?"

Qianyu handed the stone to Chi Rui and told him what Su Xueer had said.

Chi Rui clenched the stone, his face gloomy, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

But his anger was more due to his worry and concern for Su Xueer.

Qianyu said, "Sir, what on earth is this?"

Chi Rui took a look, looked shocked, and said, "This is saltpeter."

Qianyu's face also became tense, and so did Han Moqian.

All three of them knew about this item, which was contraband.

Could it be that the unspeakable secret of Lihua Village that she was talking about was the saltpeter business?

If that's the case, it would be even more dangerous for her to stay in Lihua Village.

But she refused to leave, so I had to give up today.

The three of them left in a hurry under the cover of night.

Su Xueer, who stayed in Lihua Village, continued to secretly investigate the secrets of Lihua Village.

She began to pay more attention to the actions of the people in the village, trying to find more clues from their daily behavior.

Su Xueer found that the maid who had been sneaking around in her room was whispering with a strange man in the corner. She quietly approached and hid aside to eavesdrop.

"How's it going?" the man asked in a low voice.

The maid replied, "We haven't found it yet. I don't know where he hid it."
