As Li Yue'er's status became higher and higher, her ambitions naturally rose as well. She knew that she needed someone who could do things for her and help her make money, and her lover was undoubtedly the best choice.

However, when the people from the Dali Temple suddenly and silently captured her lover, Li Yue'er was immediately panicked.

Because her lover has too many evidences about her, once these evidences fall into the hands of the Dali Temple, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The more Li Yue'er thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she didn't even dare to think about it any further.

Now, Li Yue'er's biggest backer, Nine Gates Admiral Tong Guoan, is far away in Xingcheng suppressing bandits. Even if he had wings, he would not be able to rush back quickly. As for the others, they can't be relied on in front of the living devil of the Dali Temple.

At this moment, Li Yue'er thought of the third prince with whom she had just reached an agreement on cooperation.

But she soon realized that the third prince was not a reliable person.

Although the two sides had almost reached an agreement on cooperation, three full days had passed without any substantive action from the Third Prince.

Obviously, without Tong Guoan's intervention, the Third Prince did not trust himself.

Faced with such a predicament, Li Yue'er was extremely anxious and kept asking herself what to do.

For the first time, she felt helpless and desperate, and had no idea what to do next.

"Don't worry, don't worry, think of another way, there will always be a way."

Li Yue'er paced around the room anxiously, feeling extremely anxious. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a good idea.

She quickly walked to the window, opened it, looked towards the main courtyard not far away, and a sinister smile appeared on her face.

Then she waved and called her personal maid Hongzhu.

Li Yue'er whispered a few words to Hongzhu's ear, but Hongzhu looked embarrassed and shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she could not accept this task.

But Li Yue'er didn't care about that anymore. She took out Hongzhu's indenture contract as a threat without hesitation: "Hongzhu, think about it carefully. You have followed me for many years and know everything about me.

I have always trusted you, so I entrusted such an important matter to you.

As long as you can help me with this last thing, I will not only return your indenture, but also give you a hundred taels of gold, and let the master choose a reliable husband for you, so that you can marry in glory and become a legitimate wife.

But if you don't know what's good for you, I have plenty of ways to shut you up forever."

Hongzhu couldn't help but tremble, still a little hesitant.

Li Yue'er, who is familiar with human nature, knew that Hongzhu had hesitated, so she added fuel to the fire.

"Hongzhu, it is said that it is better to marry a maid from a rich family than a girl from a poor family. You are my personal maid, and you were born in the mansion of Duke Yue.

My master is the governor of the Nine Gates, so there is nothing wrong with letting you marry a young and promising general.

You have to think clearly. This bright future is right in front of you. Do you want it?"

Hongzhu struggled for a short while, but finally made up her mind and nodded.

Looking at Hongzhu's departing back with a smile, Li Yue'er sneered, what a greedy person she is.

Hongzhu, Hongzhu, I've told you everything. You know so many of my secrets. How could I possibly let you leave me alive?

Don't worry, as long as Du Sanniang and you are both dead, I will give you a grand funeral and take good care of your family, thus completing our relationship as master and servant.
