Tong Wenjie was not too surprised by Li Shiliu's guess and asked, "Li Yue'er?"

Li Shiliu nodded and said, "Besides, her behavior today was also very strange. She knew that Hongzhu was dead, but she kept asking about her whereabouts. I think her sadness was all fake. There was a kind of pride in her eyes that she couldn't hide."

Tong Wenjie frowned and said, "Could this be just your illusion? After all, Li Yue'er and Hong Zhu had such a good relationship, it's normal for her to be sad because of Hong Zhu's death, right?"

Li Shiliu shook her head and said, "No, my intuition tells me that things are not that simple. I always feel that Li Yue'er has some unspeakable secrets."

Tong Wenjie thought for a moment and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Shiliu smiled mysteriously and said, "I plan to take you to see Hongzhu now."

Tong Wenjie was surprised and asked, "Red beads?

Didn't she fall into the water and die?"

Li Shiliu nodded and said, "That's right, but that's why she won't lie. We can get the most truthful answer from her."

Tong Wenjie hesitated for a moment and said, "But... wouldn't this be a bad idea? After all, the person is already dead..."

Li Shiliu interrupted him and said, "If we don't find out the truth, how can we be worthy of the dead Hongzhu? Moreover, this matter may be related to your mother's death. Don't you want to know?"

When Tong Wenjie thought of his mother's death, he was overwhelmed with grief and anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go. However, if we really find any clues, we must bring the murderer to justice!"

Li Shiliu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you find the truth." Then, she waved her hand to signal the driver to leave. The carriage started slowly and drove towards the Goose Factory.

"The county lord."

When Li Shiliu brought Tong Wenjie to Tencent's site, the person who came out to greet them was the same autopsy technician who had previously performed the autopsy on Tong Wenjie's mother Du Sanniang.

Li Shiliu nodded slightly: "Where is the drowned maid who was sent here today?"

“My lord, you were saved in time thanks to timely treatment. If it had been delayed a moment, you would have been used as a training ground for me.

She just woke up not long ago, would the princess like to see her?"

Li Shiliu nodded: "Lead the way.

I just have something to ask her."

Under the guidance of the coroner, Li Shiliu and Tong Wenjie soon saw the maid Hongzhu, who had escaped death but whose face was as pale as a ghost.

Seeing Li Shiliu and Tong Wenjie coming, Hongzhu understood after a quick thought and knew who had saved her life. She smiled bitterly and made up her mind.

"Your Highness and the Princess can ask whatever you want to ask. I have already died once, so I have been loyal to Aunt Li.

As long as this servant knows something, I dare not hide it at all."

It seems that this maid is actually a sensible person. Li Shiliu feels that she has not saved the wrong person.

"She is still a loyal maid, but it depends on whether the object of your loyalty is worthy."

Hong Zhu smiled bitterly, stared at Tong Wenjie who was standing behind Li Shiliu and said, "It's really not worth it.

I did a lot of things against my conscience for Aunt Li, and even poisoned Madam Du to death.

But in the end, Aunt Li wanted to kill me with her own hands."
