"Bring it up."
The three words were like three nails piercing Aunt Liu's heart, but she still pretended to be calm.
The servant quickly brought in an old woman and a girl of about ten years old. The servant girl immediately rushed over, crying, "Grandma! Little sister!"
Suppressing her frustration, Nanqianyue asked, "Hold him down and make him tell the truth."
"yes."
Granny Kong stepped forward herself, and to her surprise, her strength was no less than that of a man. She grabbed the servant and held him down, demanding, "Speak, who ordered you to do this?"
Xiao Si dared not lie any longer. He kowtowed repeatedly, "It was Aunt Liu! She was the one who ordered us to do this. My family was being held captive by her and had no choice but to lie. Please, Madam, spare our lives!"

"It was originally a plan to kill two birds with one stone, but we didn't expect that other forces would get involved."
At this point, Nan Qianyue turned to look at the Prime Minister's wife, "Mother, if I'm not mistaken, it wasn't just Aunt Liu who attacked the horses. As for who that force is, I think it's best to leave it to Father to handle."
