After returning home, Xia Yi tried to find out more about the body's original owner from Granny Liu.

Granny Liu said that the original owner rarely left the village.

Xia Yi was extremely suspicious, she was just an ordinary commoner, she had never seen any big shot, how could she offend any big shot?

While her mind was wandering, Xia Yi did not realize that with a shake of her hand, she had sprinkled more salt into the Muppet Tofu.

Xiao Linmu only took a bite before he put down his chopsticks, and stared fixedly at Xia Yi.

"Is there a problem with the food?" Xia Yi was a little guilty, she knew that she was absent-minded when she was cooking, and the food she cooked might be of a different standard.

After asking, Xia Yi hurriedly stuffed a piece of tofu into her mouth.

The salty taste was too strong and it was getting bitter.

"Sorry, I made a mistake." Xia Yi pretended to be calm and switched out the Manny Tofu that was originally placed in front of Xiao Linmu.

Feeling a bit worried, she tried the other dishes one by one. Fortunately, there were no problems with the other dishes.

"Explain." Xiao Linmu frowned slightly, the tone of his voice turning slightly cold.

Knowing that Xiao Linmu was not someone to be trifled with, Xia Yi carefully smiled, "It was really just a mistake. To make up for your losses, I'll cook fried chicken for you tomorrow."

"The cause of the mistake." Xiao Linmu's voice was still cold, and Xia Yi could hear the displeasure in her tone.

"I didn't control it well. I put in more salt."

Xiao Linmu's gaze was still fixated on Xia Yi's face, as if trying to discern something from it.

After a long while, he finally spoke. "Did you run the restaurant well?"

Xia Yi did not think that Xiao Linmu was worrying about him, and said: "Don't worry, even if the restaurant is open, I won't let you go hungry."

In the past few days, Xia Yi had been busy with renovating the restaurant, and had to guard it with her Lingshan Town at all times.

Even so, she still came back to cook for Xiao Linmu and Xia Yue as scheduled every day, not once time stopping her.

Towards such a dangerous character like Xiao Linmu, she would always have a shadow in his heart, which was why he was usually distant from him.

He tried his best to not let Xiao Linmu find out what mistakes he had made.

Xiao Linmu lightly tapped his finger on the table and said: "Answer my question, don't change the subject."

Only now did Xia Yi realize that Xiao Linmu was only asking the questions in the tavern.

She dejectedly said, "There was an accident and I was unable to get the documents from the government."

"An accident?" Xiao Linmu seemed to not understand and opened his mouth: "According to the rules of West Liang Law, Article 386, all West Liang users have a fixed place to do business.

Hearing Xiao Linmu's words, Xia Yi was slightly surprised, she did not expect Xiao Linmu to be so familiar with the laws of West Liang.

"So …" "Just which rule are you not in line with?"

Xia Yi was indeed a member of the West Liang. With her West Liang's identity, and the lease agreement in her hands, the restaurant would naturally be a legal business, and every single one of the items would conform to the management regulations.

Xia Yi was naturally aware of all these, so she sighed helplessly and said: "The government deliberately obstructed them, so they naturally have various reasons for not allowing it."

Seeing that Xiao Linmu was interested in listening, Xia Yi continued to speak: "I heard from Boss Hee that someone had spoken to the authorities and deliberately made things difficult for me. I'll go to the Lingshan County Palace tomorrow and see if I can figure out how to find the crux of the problem, "Mu Xuanyin said in a low voice.

After listening, Xiao Linmu did not say a word, and only picked up his chopsticks to continue eating.

The next day, after finishing dinner, Xia Yi went back into the kitchen.

She had already made a good meal, brought some good wine, and her hands were not empty. She should be able to talk with County Governor for a bit longer, even if she couldn't get him to give her the documents, she would be able to find out from him who was manipulating things.

As he was cutting the vegetables, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Xia Yi did not even turn her head as she asked, "Uncle Leng, why did you come over at this time?"

Leng Qianjue usually came over during the evening and rarely came over in the morning. Even if he did come in the morning, he would have come early, unlike today, when he had finished eating.

"Cough." The person behind him let out a light cough.

Xia Yi was startled, she immediately turned around, "You … How did you get into the kitchen? "

"What is it? I can't come? " Xiao Linmu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"No, no, of course you can, of course you can, warmly welcome." Xia Yi kept her shock just now, and immediately said.

The kitchen was not an important place, so naturally, he could enter.

It was just that during the month that Xiao Linmu had lived in Xia Yi's house, he had never stepped foot into a place like the kitchen.

How could Xia Yi not be surprised to see him in the kitchen all of a sudden?

"What is he doing?" Xiao Linmu's eyes stopped at the meat pieces on the chopping board.

Looking at the dishes prepared, it was much more sumptuous than the porridge and rice dumplings they had for breakfast.

Xia Yi replied: "I'm going to the county magistrate court today, this is for County Governor."

"I'll go with you. There's no need for these." Xiao Linmu said.

"You can't fight with County Governor, you'd better not go …" Xia Yi rejected him without hesitation.

Although she did not know what kind of crime Xiao Linmu had committed that made him wanted by the officials, but after being with Xiao Linmu for so long, Xia Yi felt that it was still possible for him to do it.

Xiao Linmu took a step forward, and was extremely close to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi's back was already pressed up against the chopping board, she had nowhere to retreat to, when Xiao Linmu approached, he could only slightly lean back.

Xiao Linmu bent his waist, and lowered his head to look at Xia Yi who was just inches away from him, his black pupils seemed to carry a sullen look: "Do you think I am that kind of person in your eyes?"

Xia Yi could feel a strong pressure pressing down on him, and even the air between the two of them became tight.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. But... But... If I expose your whereabouts and cause you to get caught, even if I die, I will not be able to apologize. " Xia Yi immediately denied, and when she said these words, she looked straight into Xiao Linmu's eyes, trying her best to appear extremely sincere.

Xiao Linmu slowly stood up, and only then did he feel that his breathing had become much smoother.

"Pack your things, I'll be waiting for you outside." Xiao Linmu said.

Xia Yi summoned up her courage and said: "It's fine if you go, but you have to agree to three laws."

If Xiao Linmu really fought in the county magistrate court, it would be even more difficult for him to get rid of this problem in the future.

Under the pressure of the County Governor, it would not be an easy task for her to run his restaurant normally anymore.

If such a thing really happened, then she might as well not go today.

Xiao Linmu did not say anything, and indicated for Xia Yi to continue.

"We can't do it." After Xia Yi finished speaking, he carefully looked at Xiao Linmu's expression, "Otherwise, I won't be going."

I thought that it would take more effort to explain this to Xiao Linmu, but who would have thought that right after Xia Yi finished her sentence, Xiao Linmu immediately responded, "Okay."
