General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 863: Misunderstanding before Death (1)

If Steward Lu had betrayed him, he would have died thousands of times already.

In the few days after he came back, Li Hong treated Butler Lu the same way as usual, but he would occasionally look at Butler Lu, wondering what he was thinking.

When Si Jing received the message from Bai Yichen, she saw that the handwriting in the letter belonged to Fang Chen. After reading the entire long letter, Si Jing could finally feel relieved.

Looking at Li Hong who was busy with official business, he smiled.

"Here is a letter that you urgently need. It contains the information you care about most. Do you want to take a look?" Si Jing looked at Li Hong and asked with a smile.

Li Hong was stunned. What could he be eager to know? What he was most concerned about now was...

"What letter makes you so happy?" Li Hong took the letter from Si Jing's hand suspiciously and looked down at it.

Li Hong hadn’t smiled for a long time. After reading the letter, Li Hong laughed, and laughed louder and louder. As he laughed...his eyes were covered with tears and finally flooded.

Si Jing slowly walked to Li Hong and gently held him in her arms.

Li Hong just hugged Si Jing and cried inconsolably.

Butler Lu was standing at the door of the study with a cup of tea in his hand when he suddenly heard Li Hong crying and froze in place.

After a long silence and looking at the closed study door, Butler Lu quietly stepped back and came to the garden. He pulled out a red rope from around his neck. There was half a piece of broken jade tied to the red rope. During this time, he had a vague guess that Li Hong might know what he had done.

He always looked at him with complicated eyes.

Butler Lu knew that if Li Hong really knew what he had done, he would be devastated. As a child he raised, he knew best what Li Hong's every move represented.

He also knew Li Hong's temperament and taboos best.

He was extremely uneasy inside, didn't trust anyone, and hated betrayal the most.

But he still betrayed him. From the beginning, he...

"Yu'er, I can finally go to see you." Steward Lu looked at the broken jade in his hand with relief in his eyes.

He only needs to wait for Li Hong to question him, and then he can "retire after accomplishing his mission".

Now that Li Hong has Fang Chen and Si Jing by his side, he can travel with peace of mind.

He didn't know whether the fish was waiting for him on the road to the underworld, or whether they still remembered the promise they had made to him.

"Butler Lu, the master is looking for you." A secret guard suddenly appeared behind Butler Lu and said to him.

Butler Lu put away the broken jade, nodded, walked to the study, took a deep breath, and walked into the study resolutely.

"Master, you are looking for me." Butler Lu walked into the study with a familiar smile and smiled at Li Hong.

Li Hong frowned and pushed the letter in front of Steward Lu. "What do you want to say?"

Steward Lu guessed that it was written that he had betrayed Li Hong, so he knelt down in front of Li Hong. "For the sake of my many years of service to you, I beg you to leave me with an intact body."

Li Hong and Si Jing were stunned. They didn't expect that Butler Lu came here just to ask for death.

Li Hong suddenly felt fortunate that he had been avoiding it for the past few days, otherwise, with his personality, he might have agreed directly.

"Are you sure you don't want to help me take care of mine and Si Jing's child?" Li Hong's face darkened and he suddenly felt a little angry. Butler Lu didn't say anything to him and just came up to ask for death.

"...Ah?" Even though Butler Lu had done a lot of psychological preparation, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Hong's words.

"Butler Lu, why don't you take a look at the letter first?" Si Jing knew that Li Hong was in a bad mood, and secretly laughed at his childishness in her heart.
