The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhu family agreed to let her father come to ask for the gold in person, so Zhou Ruiyuan waited at home.
Two or three days later he really came.
Du Wanchun heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard, got up and went to the door to open it.
I saw an old man with gray 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 Du Wanchun heard this, he immediately understood that this should be Butler Sun.
Seeing that Du Wanchun didn't reply, Butler Sun asked, "Are you the Zhou family here?"
Du Wanchun quickly smiled and said: "Yes, we are the Zhou family here. Uncle, please go inside."
She did not call Zhou Ruiyuan out immediately, but first welcomed Butler Sun in and closed the courtyard door. ?.?????.???
Welcoming Butler Sun into the door, Du Wanchun poured a glass of water for Butler Sun. While pouring the water, he called into the room: "Mr., we have a guest."
Zhou Ruiyuan, who was in the room, heard the sound and came to the door. He looked out through the crack in the door and saw it was Butler Sun. He lifted the curtain and walked slowly out.
Sun Butler Yuan Naben was drinking tea from a cup. When he looked up, he was startled when he saw Zhou Ruiyuan.
"you......"
Zhou Ruiyuan raised the corners of his lips and said slowly: "Steward Sun, long time no see."
Butler Sun looked horrified and quickly stood up and walked out.
At this time, Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince happened to come back from outside.
Zhou Ruiyuan quickly shouted to them, "Mom, don't let him run away!"
The third prince knew Butler Sun, and when he saw him, he leaped over and kicked him.
"Finally caught you!"
Butler Sun fell to the ground in pain and whined.
The third prince stepped forward and pulled him up, then threw him heavily into the house.
Butler Sun fell to the ground and shivered in pain. He begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. Don't kill me. I was wrong!"
The third prince raised his foot and stepped hard on his back, "Let me see how you can still run."
After saying that, he tied him up with a rope.
Zhou Ruiyuan walked over slowly and said, "Steward Sun, don't run away yet. We are not here to kill you. We just want to ask you something."
Butler Sun nodded quickly and said, "Your Highness, you tell me, and I'll tell you everything I know."
Aunt Zhou on the side rushed over and scolded him: "You're so good, Butler Sun, my parents have always been kind to you, but you actually joined forces with outsiders to ruin our Lu family!"
Butler Sun lowered his eyes and said bitingly: "Mother, I have no choice. If I don't do this, even I will die."
As he said that, he looked around and said, "By the way, didn't you take away the gold in the field? I didn't dare to use any of that silver. I thought that I would have to pay back the sins I had done sooner or later, so I kept it. When will I return this gold to you!"
Aunt Zhou pouted at him and said sternly: "You don't want to keep it for us, but you don't dare to use it yourself. You are afraid that those people will come after you use the money, right?"
Butler Sun lowered his head in acquiescence.
Du Wanchun quickly came over and helped the emotional Aunt Zhou aside.
Zhou Ruiyuan continued to ask: "Steward Sun, you also know that our Lu family is eager to kill you. If you want us to let you go, you can, but you must answer my questions honestly."
Butler Sun nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, your Highness, just say it."
Zhou Ruiyuan took out a dagger and walked slowly to his side, "Why did Mr. Wu ask you to place the things that framed my grandfather in our Lu Mansion?"
Butler Sun remained silent and did not reply.
Zhou Ruiyuan put the tip of the dagger against Butler Sun's throat.
Butler Sun was startled and said quickly: "Your Highness, that thing was not given to me by Mr. Wu."
"Who is that?" Zhou Ruiyuan asked coldly.
Butler Sun still hesitated and didn't say a word.
Zhou Ruiyuan pushed the dagger into his neck again.
The sharp tip of the knife cut his throat directly, causing blood to flow out.
Butler Sun was shocked and said quickly: "Your Highness, please wait, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Zhou Ruiyuan patted him on the shoulder, "Don't play tricks on me, my patience is limited."
Butler Sun was trembling with fear and hesitantly said: "Your Highness, it's the Emperor, and it was the Emperor who sent me to release him."
