"Is this a human nail?" Song Lai could not help but ask back.

Su Li nodded his head, although the fingernails had been dyed red, if one looked carefully, they could still see the original color, "These nails have been dyed, it's a woman's nail!"

"In the capital, only royalty or the daughters of wealthy families would dye the Immortal Phoenix Flowers." Song Lai's eyes lit up, as if he had already seen the case.

Su Li wrapped the fingernails inside a handkerchief before taking off the gloves and stretching his body.

Then, she cast a sidelong glance at Song Lai and smiled, "It seems like you have covered your face well, your face is still there."

Hearing that, Song Lai's face became even more parched!

It was because he was blind that he looked down on Fourth Miss's methods of autopsy.

"I ?" "I ?" He stuttered for a long time before finally closing his eyes. He then smoothly said, "I was wrong."

"If you make a mistake, then you will be punished."

Song Lai immediately opened his eyes and nodded his head like a chick pecking rice grains, "Yes yes, as long as Fourth Miss can calm down, I will take my punishment."

"I see that your Yi Village is quite clean, tidy up a room for me to come out of. I'm tired, I want to stay here for a day."

Song Lai was startled for a moment, and only regained his senses after a long while, "If Fourth Miss does not mind, my master's house in his previous life had everything, I had only changed to a new bed yesterday."

"Good, then lead me there. I'll leave the seaming work to you."

Song Lai cheerfully nodded his head and led the way.

Just as Su Li took a step forward, he saw Mo Lianjin blocking in front of her.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Su Li placed the handkerchief wrapped around his fingernails into his arms, "I will have to trouble Fifth Prince to tell him that the culprit may be a woman. If the three clues I mentioned earlier pointed to a certain woman, I can use this fingernail to testify."

Mo Lianjin stared straight at Su Li. When he did not laugh, his expression was as cold as an ice mountain.

"You are a young lady who hasn't left the pavilion, and you live in Yi Village with a single man and woman that have little grievances. What is this supposed to be?"

"Clear your mind, it's up to anyone else."

"Don't forget your identity."

Su Li raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that Fifth Prince thinks that I can rely on my identity as a broken shoe to become a Crown Prince's Wife as I wish?"

The two words "broken shoes" caused Mo Lianjin to squint his eyes coldly, "What makes a person feel the most pity is looking down on himself."

Su Li smirked, "Aren't you overthinking it? I was just stating a fact. "

"Then go back to your General's Mansion.

"I beg of you, please let me go." Su Li rolled his eyes at him, "I'm really tired, I want to rest here for a day. If you let me recover my General's Mansion in my current state, I will be tortured to the point where not even bones will remain.

Mo Lianjin choked, then realised that he seemed to have overstepped his boundaries!

He retracted his cold and evil aura and the corner of his mouth slowly rose. A hint of a playful, yet not a smile appeared on his face. "This King is overthinking. Your face will make you very safe."

Su Li glared at Mo Lianjin in annoyance, and after knocking him away with all his might, he left a sentence behind, "Take care, see you out."

Looking at Su Li's leaving figure, Mo Lianjin tightly furrowed his brows.

"Greenwood."

Following his voice, a guard quietly appeared in the morgue, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"If Su Li wants to investigate the case for this duke, leave you Yi Village to protect her."

"Yes."

Su Li slept for a whole two days under the Yi Village and only after that did she feel that she had survived.

"Lord Host, we have six days!"

"Shut up." Su Li reprimanded as he got off the bed.

She rubbed her belly and pushed open the door.

"Fourth Miss is up? I've just steamed the steamed buns. " Song Lai happened to be walking over with a steamed bun.

Su Li nodded, he went to wash his hands, then disdainfully took a whiff of his clothes, it was really smelly!

When Song Lai saw her actions, his eyes moved as he tried to curry favor with her, "If Fourth Miss doesn't mind, then go wash after breakfast. I have made a new set of clothes here, so I can change it first."

Su Li looked at Song Lai, "Being so nice to me, is there a motive?"

"Master left early and didn't teach me anything. If Fourth Miss is willing, I want to investigate the case with Fourth Miss.

"Why do you want to be offended?"

Song Lai was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "I want to let the truth be known, and let the dead be treated fairly."

Su Li strongly patted his shoulder, "You have a great dream, do your best."

"Yes." Song Lai knew that she had agreed to it and immediately revealed a smile on her face.

After filling his stomach, Su Li washed himself clean and changed into Song Lai's men's clothing. Luckily, Song Lai was slightly thin, so he rolled up his sleeves and pants.

The two of them left Yi Village and headed towards the government office.
