Betraying Ye Wantang might lead to death, but not confessing will certainly lead to death. Xie Tingzhou was capable of killing 50,000 prisoners, and he will certainly not let go of the person who caused trouble at the Marquis's mansion today.

Based on the bad reputation Xie Tingzhou had heard about him, Shen Bishui weighed the matter in her mind.

As for the person on the bed when she climbed into it, it was indeed Deputy General Luo, but she chose not to mention it.

She was just born into a poor family and was willing to be driven by Ye Wantang in order to improve her future; she wasn't really brainless.

Vice General Luo is a confidant of the Marquis's household, and the Marquis and Xie Tingzhou certainly do not want his reputation to be damaged.

Therefore, she wanted to do Xie Tingzhou a favor.

As expected, Xie Tingzhou didn't press the matter further, but instead asked, "Why did Ye Wantang do this?"

"I don't know. Over the years, I've always done whatever she told me to do."

Ye Wantang needed to maintain a good image in public, so she took care of some things that were inconvenient for her to do herself.

She was nothing more than a henchman; how could the self-proclaimed superior Miss Ye possibly explain the reasons to her?

“Miss Chen, you…”

Ye Wantang swayed slightly, "I saw that you were having a hard time in the past, so I helped you a little and allowed you to visit the General's Mansion a few times."

I never expected that today, in order to exonerate yourself, you first slandered Cousin Zhen, and then pinned the blame on me.

She walked up to the Marquis of Zhongyong and said, "Uncle Xie, I don't know how Miss Shen persuaded the maids in the General's Mansion to help him."

But you and your mother are close friends, and Wan Tang regards you as her uncle, and has no intention of harming you.

My mother died fighting for her country. The general's household might produce some foolish people, but it will never produce a traitor.

She used her status as the orphan of a meritorious official to separate the matter from espionage, thus preventing Wu Desi from interfering further.

"After my mother died, Wan Tang was an orphan. Fortunately, she had her uncle and aunt by her side. Cousin Zhen is their daughter and my only cousin. I would never harm her."

But I know that Miss Shen is having a hard time in the household and has always wanted to find a good marriage.

Since she pointed the finger at Wan Tang, Wan Tang took the blame, considering it a lesson learned from making the wrong friend.

After saying this, she knelt down, "Please forgive me, Uncle Xie..."

Although the Marquis of Zhongyong regretted that Ye Wantang had not inherited any of Ye Jinghong's spirit, he had always taken care of his friend's daughter.

But regarding today's events, he had his own judgment. What Shen Bishui said later should be true, and the real performer was Ye Wantang.

He was very disappointed, so he didn't stop Ye Wantang from kneeling down. But he didn't expect that Ye Wantang would faint at his feet after kneeling down.

He wasn't even given a chance to speak.

Madam Wang was shocked. "Quickly, send Wan Tang back to the manor. She has been taking care of She Gu day and night these past few days, and now she has been framed by Miss Shen, whom she used to consider a friend. She must be devastated..."

Ye Wantang's maid took the opportunity to carry her away, and Wang Shi also had someone take her with her.

"Mother."

Ye Zhen stopped Wang Shi, "Wantang is your daughter, isn't she?"
