The old man was very happy.

Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law agreed to let her father come to ask for the gold in person, so Zhou Ruiyuan waited at home.

After two or three days, he really came.

Du Wanchun heard the knock on the door outside the yard, got up and went to the door to open it.

I saw an old man with white hair on his temples.

Du Wanchun asked him, "Old man, who are you looking for?"

The old man raised his eyes slightly and looked at Du Wanchun, "I'm here to get the things from the field."

After hearing this, Du Wanchun immediately understood that this person should be the housekeeper Sun.

Seeing that Du Wanchun did not reply, housekeeper Sun asked, "Are you from the Zhou family?"

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Yes, we are from the Zhou family. Sir, please go inside."

She did not call Zhou Ruiyuan out immediately, but welcomed housekeeper Sun into the house first and closed the gate.

After welcoming housekeeper Sun into the house, Du Wanchun poured a glass of water for him and called out to the house while pouring the water, "Sir, a guest is coming."

Zhou Ruiyuan in the house heard the voice and came to the door. He looked out through the crack of the door and saw that it was housekeeper Sun. He lifted the curtain and walked out slowly.

Housekeeper Sun Yuan was drinking tea with a cup in his hand. When he looked up and saw Zhou Ruiyuan, he was startled.

"You..."

Zhou Ruiyuan raised the corner of his lips and said slowly, "Housekeeper Sun, long time no see."

Housekeeper Sun was horrified and got up and walked out quickly.

At this time, Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince just came back from outside.

Zhou Ruiyuan hurriedly shouted to them, "Mother, don't let him run away!"

The Third Prince knew Butler Sun, and when he saw him striding over, he kicked him.

"Finally caught you!"

Butler Sun fell to the ground and whimpered in pain.

The Third Prince stepped forward and pulled him up, then threw him heavily into the house.

Butler Sun fell to the ground and trembled in pain, begging for mercy: "Prince, I was wrong, don't kill me, I was wrong!"

The Third Prince raised his foot and stepped heavily on his back, "Let's see how you can run."

After that, he took a rope and tied him up.

Zhou Ruiyuan walked over slowly and said, "Butler Sun, don't run away. We are not here to kill you. We just have something to ask you."

Butler Sun nodded quickly and said, "Your Highness, tell me, and I will tell you everything I know."

Auntie Zhou rushed over and scolded him, "Butler Sun, you are so good. My parents have always been good to you, but you actually teamed up with outsiders to destroy our Lu family!"

Butler Sun lowered his eyes and said, "My queen, I have no choice. If I don't do this, even I will be... I will die."

As he said, he looked around, "By the way, didn't you take the gold from the field? I didn't dare to use any of the silver. I thought that I would have to pay for my sins sooner or later, so I kept it and thought about when to return the gold to you!"

Mrs. Zhou pouted at him and said sternly, "You didn't leave it for us, but you didn't dare to use it at all. You were afraid that if you used the silver, those people would come looking for you, right?"

Housekeeper Sun lowered his head, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Du Wanchun hurried over and helped the emotional Mrs. Zhou to the side.

Zhou Ruiyuan continued to ask: "Butler Sun, you also know that our Lu family is eager to kill you. You can let you go if you want us to, but you must answer my questions honestly."

Butler Sun nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Your Highness, just tell me."

Zhou Ruiyuan took out a dagger and slowly walked to his side, "How did Lord Wu ask you to put the thing that framed my grandfather in our Lu Mansion?"

Butler Sun was silent and did not answer.

Zhou Ruiyuan put the tip of the dagger against Butler Sun's throat.

Butler Sun was startled and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, that thing was not given to me by Lord Wu."

"Who is it?" Zhou Ruiyuan asked coldly.

Butler Sun still hesitated and said nothing.

Zhou Ruiyuan pushed the dagger into his neck again.

The sharp tip of the knife directly cut his throat, and blood beads flowed out.

Steward Sun was shocked and said quickly, "Your Highness, wait a minute, I'll tell you."

Zhou Ruiyuan patted him on the shoulder, "Don't play tricks on me, my patience is limited."

Standard Sun was trembling with fear and stammered, "Your Highness, it was the emperor who sent me to release him."
