Xiang Weinan was surprised. “The Second Miss of the Shu family?”
“Yes, there might be unexpected gains.” Shu Yu was naturally happy to be able to bring down the Shu family as soon as possible.
Xiang Weinan touched his chin thoughtfully. “Second Miss…l understand.”
Shu Yu could not provide much information. After all, the book was mainly about the story of the male and female leads. Because the Shu family had a vicious female supporting character, there was more plot when they were defeated in the end, but that was all.
After telling Lord Xiang what he wanted to know, Shu Yu began to ask about Yuan Shanchuan. “What crime did my Fourth Uncle commit?”
Xiang Weinan looked up at her. “We will only know the details after he is found. We only know that the former county magistrate might have expected it before he was arrested, so he mixed an important piece of evidence with the
goods and planned to transport it out of the city to the Dongan Province. Yuan Shanchuan was one of the people who transported this batch of goods.”
“Now, two of the people who transported the goods are dead, and the other two have been captured. Only Yuan Shanchuan was missing. Coincidentally, the goods had been found, and only the evidence of the crime had been taken away by Yuan Shanchuan alone.”
Shu Yu frowned. “But my Fourth Uncle might not know what it is and just took it by accident, right?”
“Of course, there is such a possibility, but this is just a guess. We need evidence that he didn’t know.”
Shu Yu knew that this was good news for her.
She thought that Lord Xiang had enough evidence to prove that Yuan Shanchuan colluded with the former county magistrate. If that was the case, she could only try her best to get her Fourth Aunt.
Now that she had heard what he meant, there was still room for negotiation.
“Then my Fourth Aunt…”
Xiang Weinan leaned back in his chair. “I’ve already interrogated the Yuan family and the Lu family. So far, it seems that they don’t know. However, they couldn’t leave yet. They had to wait until Yuan Shanchuan was found.” After a pause, he added, “Don’t worry, they’ll be fine now.”
Xiang Weinan’s promise, Shu Yu was indeed relieved. ‘Can we go and see
He nodded at Xiang Weinan.
After Shu Yu thanked him, she came out of the study.
The old lady and the others who were waiting in the lobby were impatient. When they saw Shu Yu come out, they quickly ran forward and surrounded her. “How is it?” What did Lord say?”
Shu Yu shook her head. She was not allowed to spread the words that Xiang Weinan had said in the study.
Therefore, she didn’t mention Yuan Shanchuan’s matter. She only said, “Lord has agreed for us to visit Fourth Aunt.”
The old lady was happy, but Xiaozhen raised her head with bright eyes.
However, Hu Li, who came out with Shu Yu, said, “But there are too many of you. The Lord said that only four can enter.” Four…
Shu Yu, the old lady, and Xiaozhen had to go.
The old lady’s gaze swept across the room and landed on Lu Dasong and Daniu. Then, it landed on Village Chief Chen.
She sighed and said, “Boss and Daniu will wait for us outside. Village Chief
Chen, come with us. As for the Yuan Family, it happened so suddenly that they probably didn’t have time to explain a lot of things.”
Village Chief Chen quickly nodded. “Thank you, Sister-in-law Lu.”
After confirming the visitor, Hu Li led the way to a house not far from the county office..
