After several attempts at refusal, Hongzhu finally accepted the 100 taels of gold, but she still had an ominous premonition in her heart, which made her feel uneasy.

When Li Yue'er saw Hongzhu accept the gold, a smile gradually appeared on her face, a sincere and enthusiastic smile.

However, one evening three days later, Li Yue'er was feeling depressed due to all the troubles she had been having recently, so she decided to take her personal maid Hongzhu to the rockery pond in the yard to relax.

At this moment, there was a cry for help: "Help! Help...

Come quickly, help, someone fell into the water..."

The person who was shouting for help was none other than Li Yue'er. Li Yue'er looked around in panic, while Hongzhu had fallen into the pond and was struggling desperately. She was shouting loudly and waving her hands desperately for help.

The servants rushed over upon hearing the noise and gathered around. They were all stunned when they saw the figure floating up and down in the pond.

"Hurry! Go down and save her! Hongzhu fell into the water..." Li Yue'er urged anxiously.

After some chaos, a few people finally jumped into the water and rescued the dying Hongzhu to shore.

But at this time, the Red Pearl Man was no longer breathing, his mouth and nose were covered with blood and mud, and his face was as pale as paper. Looking at this horrible scene in front of her, Li Yue'er was heartbroken, tears blurred her eyes, her body swayed, and finally fainted on the ground.

When Li Yue'er woke up, the first thing she asked was, "Where's Hongzhu?"

"Where is Hongzhu? Where did Hongzhu go?"

“Is Hongzhu still alive?

I want to see Hongzhu, I want to see Hongzhu..."

"Hongzhu..."

Aunt Li, I am so sorry for the loss."

The person who spoke was Li Shiliu, who had been standing silently by the side. Since Princess Sheng'an had spoken personally, Li Yue'er was happy in her heart, but her face was still full of sadness. She could no longer hold back and covered her face with tears.

Everyone was busy comforting the extremely sad Li Yue'er, but no one noticed that Li Yue'er, who was crying with her head down and covering her face, couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.

With Hongzhu's death, I should be safe. …………

After leaving Li Yue'er's courtyard, Li Shiliu did not return to her own residence, but quietly left the house.

Tong Wenjie was already sitting in the carriage waiting at the corner gate, waiting for Li Shiliu.

Li Shiliu opened the carriage curtain and sat in, leaning against the wall tiredly and rubbing his temple.

Just a few days after his mother Du Sanniang passed away, Tong Wenjie's eyes were bloodshot, his beard was untidy, and he looked extremely haggard.

Seeing Li Shiliu, although he was anxious, Tong Wenjie still asked softly: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Li Shiliu shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little upset."

Tong Wenjie frowned and asked, "Is it because of what happened today?"

Li Shiliu nodded and said, "Well, the matter of Hongzhu falling into the water is not that simple."

Tong Wenjie asked: "What do you doubt?"

Li Shiliu said: "I am not doubting, I am certain.

The maid Hongzhu had lived in the mansion for more than ten years. Suddenly, she fell into the water without any warning. This must be something serious.

When Hongzhu fell into the water, only Li Yueer and Hongzhu were at the scene, so Li Yueer must be involved in this matter."
