After all, Zhou Luo Bing took her luggage with her when she left. If the other party really wanted to find trouble, she wouldn't think of this.

So, Zhou Hui didn't think about Zhou Luo Bing anymore, he still had to go to the Red city mansion to take care of something.

That's about the recipe.

Even though he still didn't have any evidence to prove that someone else framed him, Zhou Hui still had to find the evidence.

Previously, Uncle Zhou mentioned that there was a maid called Xiao Hong. He said that on the night he sent Zhou Luo Bing back, he saw a person sneaking around the study room.

Because of this, the old manor lord had no choice but to believe that he had stolen the wine's recipe.

Zhou Hui felt that he needed to go look for Xiao Hong. Even though he might not get any answers, he knew that Xiao Hong was a key figure in this matter.

If his guess was right, Zi Ya had definitely sent someone to frame him.

After Zhou Hui told Gu Qing about his concerns, Gu Qing supported him and even sent him to the Red Orange Manor.

However, Gu Qing didn't accompany him in.

The security guard at the door did not expect Zhou Hui Hui Hui to come over at this time, but he was still very friendly and told him that the Old Manor Lord was in his study room. For some reason, the Old Manor Lord had a bad temper and told Zhou Hui to be careful.

Zhou Hui smiled and indicated to them, then quickly went in.

Instead of going directly to the study, he went to the kitchen.

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Hong should have been helping out in the kitchen the entire time. He only came to look for Xiao Hong.

However, Zhou Hui went to the kitchen. There were indeed two maids, but he recognized none of them. As for the other one, Zhou Hui had seen her before. She was the housekeeper, Aunt Hong.

The security guards and the other servants outside did not know anything about the formula, but Aunt Hong did.

When she saw that the person who came over was Zhou Hui, she immediately frowned and looked coldly at Zhou Hui, "Mr. Zhou? What business do you have here? "

After Aunt Hong finished speaking, she let the female servant beside her leave, but she still stared at Zhou Hui warily.

Zhou Hui laughed bitterly. He wasn't familiar with this Aunt Hong. Previously, he only knew that she was here as a housekeeper and didn't have any connections with her. He just didn't know what she meant.

"Aunt Hong, do you have something to say to me?"

Aunt Hong laughed coldly, "Mr. Zhou, you are overthinking things. If you still have a previous relationship with the Old Manor Lord, I will definitely respect you. However, you actually do not know what's good for you and do something to betray the Old Manor Lord.

Zhou Hui heard her words, but he wasn't angry.

He actually understood it quite well. After all, the old manor lord had regarded those recipes as the hope of Red City Manor.

Now, the formula that he had worked so hard to make was lost in a single night.

Of course, he felt uncomfortable. As for Aunt Hong, she also regarded him as an enemy.

Aunt Hong, I didn't expect you to misunderstand me so well. With my strength, I don't even need to steal a few of your recipes.

Aunt Hong frowned after hearing Zhou Hui's words, but her eyes flashed a hint of hesitation.

When Zhou Hui saw this, he was quite happy.

If Aunt Hong had any doubts, it also meant that she didn't believe that she was the one who had stolen the formula. Perhaps she could even get Aunt Hong to help her?

Zhou Hui went on, "Aunt Hong, don't you think it's strange? As the housekeeper, you are the one who usually took care of Red City Manor, but there was actually someone who openly locked me and Zhou Luo Bing in the ice cellar under your noses for three or four days, and that was clearly for our lives. It's just that we didn't succeed, so something happened again, I really want the formula, and I don't want to risk my life.

However, even at this point, Aunt Hong still didn't speak.

Zhou Hui didn't know what she was thinking, but if he was willing to bet, would Aunt Hong believe him or not?

However, if Aunt Hong didn't believe him, he would definitely call for the Old Manor Lord in a moment. Furthermore, if he didn't have the approval of the Old Manor Lord when he came this time, then it would be very difficult for him to come back.

Zhou Hui looked at her meticulously. He was even a bit nervous. He clenched his fist so tightly that sweat began to appear in the center of his palm.

Finally, a minute had passed, two minutes had passed. Aunt Hong opened her mouth, suddenly took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Hui resolutely, and said, "Forget it, then I'll believe you this once. I know you want me to help you explain, right?"

Zhou Hui heaved a sigh of relief. Aunt Hong had indeed believed in him.

It looked like he had made the right bet this time.

In fact, if Zhou Hui was Aunt Hong, he would agree. After all, he really didn't have any reason to steal the formula, and it was a bit forced for him to do it all of a sudden. Plus, the formula was lost, and he and Zhou Luo Bing were locked in the ice, and now that Zhou Luo Bing suddenly disappeared, the Old Manor Lord was already unhappy with Aunt Hong.

After all, Aunt Hong was the butler of this place.

Having caused so much trouble in a row, she would naturally be held accountable for her conduct. If she wanted to change the old manor lord's opinion of her, she could only rely on herself.

Zhou Hui said without hesitation, "I want to see Xiao Hong."

However, Aunt Hong actually frowned after hearing that. "You said you want to see Xiao Hong? But she's not here at all. "

"What?" When Zhou Hui heard this, he was extremely shocked. It's only been a day or two, why is Little Red not here anymore? Just what is this matter? Xiao Hong is the most important person.

After all, it was Xiao Hong who said so herself. Seeing him sneakily in the study room, that night, Zhou Hui went back after sending Zhou Luo Bing off at the entrance.

Thus, Xiao Hong was definitely aware of the sequence of events.

"Aunt Hong, Lil Red, why is she not here? Where did she go?"

Aunt Hong sighed, "She resigned. After that incident, she came to me and said that she was afraid you would come and cause trouble for her in the future. Plus, her family is sick, so it's really inconvenient for them to continue working here. I agreed to let her go back."

After Zhou Hui heard this, he frowned. Her reason was good.

"Then do you know where her family lives?"

Aunt Hong lowered her head to ponder for a moment before suddenly raising her head. "I remember now."
