Along the way, both of them were nervous, afraid of meeting other people.

Fortunately, the moonlight was dim and there were not many patrolling guards in the mansion. Most of them went to other places to look for Zhou Zhuo, so Rendong and Su Yue arrived at a remote courtyard safely.

"Miss, I heard that no one lives in this yard." Honeysuckle said in a low voice after making sure that there was no one around.

At this moment, Butler Su came out of the yard with a group of people and walked to another place.

Su Yue and Rendong held their breath instantly and hid in the dark, not daring to move. Only after Butler Su and his group disappeared did they dare to quietly come to the gate of the courtyard.

Su Yue pushed open the door and saw that the yard was overgrown with weeds. Perhaps someone had just come to search, and many of the weeds were trampled all over the place.

Even so, the whole yard is still filled with an old atmosphere.

Su Yue didn't dare to stay too long. She invited Rendong to come in with her and then closed the door.

After the two entered the house, Su Yue took Zhou Zhuo out along with his bedding, and then untied the hemp rope on Zhou Zhuo.

At this moment, all the bones in Zhou Zhuo's body were smashed to pieces. He was in great pain and could only look at the witch Su Yue with hatred.

He really didn't understand what kind of blood feud he had with the girl in front of him that made her use such vicious means to deal with him.

Su Yue naturally saw Zhou Zhuo's eyes. She pulled out her silver hairpin and threatened: "What are you looking at, you bastard? Have you ever seen a fairy? If you look at me like that again, I will poke your eyes out immediately."

As she spoke, she stabbed Zhou Zhuo's eyes with the silver hairpin. Zhou Zhuo was so scared that he immediately closed his eyes.

Su Yue smiled when she saw this, and the silver hairpin in her hand stopped just a few centimeters away from Zhou Zhuo's eyes, "What a useless coward."

After hearing Su Yue's words, Zhou Zhuo opened his eyes again. He also realized that he was fooled by Su Yue. He was so angry that he wanted to eat Su Yue alive to relieve his hatred.

Honeysuckle glanced at the door nervously and urged in a low voice: "Girl, stop teasing him, let's solve this problem and leave."

Rendong was really afraid that if Butler Su came back with his men, it would be troublesome.

After listening to Rendong's words, Su Yue nodded, put away the smile on her face, and her expression became serious.

She first moved a stool and stood on it, then threw the hemp rope over the beam and tied a knot that could be used to hang herself.

After seeing Su Yue's actions, Rendong and Zhou Zhuo instantly understood her intention.

Zhou Zhuo felt that death was gradually approaching him, and with such a strong will to survive, he could only whimper.

Su Yue jumped off the chair and clapped her hands, then said to Ren Dong: "Come on, you are very strong, see if you can hang him up."

This time, Rendong did not hesitate any more, because she only wanted to get rid of Zhou Zhuo and go back quickly. Compared to Zhou Zhuo's death, she was more afraid that the actions of the master and servant would be discovered.

I have to say that Rendong is really strong. She lifted up the limp Zhou Zhuo with one effort, and Su Yue also helped her from the side.

After the matter was resolved, the two did not close the door, but quickly left the uninhabited yard, leaving only the people hanging around in the air and the mattress stained with red blood.

……

Su Yue and Rendong quickened their pace and returned to Qingyou Garden. Nanny Yang was waiting anxiously at the door. She was greatly relieved to see them return.

"Girl, how are you?"

"Let's go inside first."

After the three of them entered the house, Su Yue said, "Zhou Zhuo has already taken care of it."

Nanny Yang said worriedly, "Miss, this matter may not be so easy to deal with. If it is discovered, we will..."

"Don't worry, Ma'am. It's not that easy to find out. If the truth is revealed, we can just sneak out of the Su Mansion." Su Yue comforted.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Yang had to suppress her worries and said to Rendong, "Rendong, let's clean up all the traces that may be left in the house."

After Honeysuckle responded, the two of them started to get busy.

The sky gradually brightened. Everyone in Minister Su's mansion had been busy all night and had not slept much, but they still hadn't found anything about Zhou Zhuo.

The exhausted housekeeper Su led a group of servants and was about to go to Mudan Garden to tell Su Yuanwang the result, but when they passed by an uninhabited house, they found that the gate was not closed.

Perhaps they left in a hurry last night and forgot to close the gate. Steward Su raised his hand tiredly, signaling the servant beside him to close the gate.

The servant took the order and left. Just as he was about to close the gate, he looked up and saw that the door of the house in the yard was wide open, and a man was hanging in the air.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The servant's scream instantly broke the tranquility of the early morning, and Steward Su and others hurried over.

"What's going on? You're so panicked just because you're closing a door!" Butler Su scolded.

The servant pointed at the gate and stammered, "There's someone hanging inside!"

When everyone heard this, they looked towards the yard in surprise. When they saw the scene inside the house, they couldn't help but gasp.

Steward Su forced himself to remain calm and ordered, "Go and report to the Master!"

Su Yuanwang, who was originally preparing to go to court, thought to himself that something was wrong when he heard about this, and Zhou Ruoxue, who was standing next to him, fainted on the spot.

Su Yuanwang was afraid of missing the court session, so he had to go to Songning Courtyard to ask Old Madam Su to handle the matter first. Before leaving, he also instructed Nanny Lin to take good care of Zhou Ruoxue.

When Old Madam Su heard this, she was also shocked, but having seen many storms, she quickly calmed herself down and hurried to the courtyard with Nanny Zheng and a group of maids and servants.

When she arrived at the yard and saw Zhou Zhuo who was already dead, Old Lady Su frowned. She didn't understand why Zhou Zhuo wanted to commit suicide.

At this time Su Zelin also came. As soon as he heard the news, he rushed here immediately. On the way, he heard that Zhou Zhuo had been hanged to death. He was very puzzled.

When Su Zelin came in and saw Old Madam Su here, he first greeted her.

Madam Su frowned slightly: "Why is Lin'er here? You will be taking the exam in two months. Don't let these things distract you. Studying hard is the most important thing now!"

Su Zelin replied respectfully: "Grandma, now that something like this has happened, how can I concentrate on my studies? I am also worried about what my uncle's family will do to the Su family when they learn of this bad news."

Madam Su sighed when she heard this, "I am also worried about this matter, but no matter how worried I am, I have to inform my in-laws. I have already asked someone to notify my in-laws.

I don't know why Zhuo was so depressed and wanted to commit suicide at such a young age."

Su Zelin was also confused. When he turned to look at Zhou Zhuo who had already been put down, he gasped.

At this time, Zhou Zhuo's face had already turned blue-gray, but his swollen cheeks clearly showed that he had been beaten up.

"Grandma, my cousin was obviously beaten before he died. He probably didn't commit suicide!"

Madam Su looked solemn: "I also have this doubt, so I asked someone to invite the palace doctor over."

Not long after, the court doctor rushed over and after a thorough examination, he reported to Madam Su: "Madam, Mr. Zhou was indeed beaten first, and his whole body was broken, even his private parts were seriously injured. In short, he couldn't even stand up, let alone hang himself."

Madam Su angrily banged the cane in her hand: "How abominable! This extremely cruel villain is simply lawless! How dare he harm people in my Su Mansion like this? Steward Su, we must investigate and find the murderer!"

Steward Su quickly responded, "Don't worry, old lady. I will do my best. However, the only clues at the moment are these two blood-stained quilts, which are difficult to investigate."
