"Second son's wife, it must be Nanny Fang who betrayed me. We must find evidence." The old lady held Yao's hand as if she had grabbed the last straw.
Seeing the old lady's anxious look, Yao knew that she had made the right bet this time: "Old lady, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you."
The time was almost up, and hearing the urging voice of the yamen runners, Yao had to leave first.
The cell returned to silence again. When the old lady lay down again, her heart was filled with anger, but at the same time she felt relieved because at least she had found a flaw.
Just after the old lady fell asleep, Su Chenyu, Baili Yanqing and Lord Tan rushed out from the cell next door. They all heard the conversation between the old lady and Yao.
The three of them walked out of the cell in silence. As soon as they came out, Master Tan asked them, "Princess, you knew from the beginning that something was wrong. Why didn't you tell me about it in the birthday hall today?"
"Master Tan, you and I both know that the person who killed Aunt He was not the old lady." Su Chenyu asked back, "Then why do you insist on catching the old lady?"
"Of course it's for Gongyu."
"The princess let the old lady stay in jail for a few days for the sake of the public. She won't care about human life unless she suffers some hardship."
In the inner courtyard of the mansion, there are many dirty things, and few people have clean hands.
Lord Tan himself knew this, but he did not expect Su Chenyu to lay it all out in the open.
"So, it was Nanny Fang who attacked Aunt He, and it was Yao who framed the old lady."
Lord Tan saw through all of this just by listening to the conversation. The old lady prided herself on being shrewd, but she couldn't even see such a simple truth.
Perhaps it was because she didn't care about Nanny Fang at all, and only cared about whether she could get out of the cell.
"Then what does the princess want me to do?"
"Your Excellency, just do it impartially. As long as Yao can deliver the evidence to you, you can release the old lady without making things difficult." Su Chenyu added, "But Nanny Fang is not an ordinary person. Your Excellency must be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Princess."
After seeing off Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing, Lord Tan felt slightly relieved. Tonight, when Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing came, he thought there was something going on, but he didn't expect that they were taking him to watch a play.
The water in this capital city is really bottomless!
Yao was very efficient and soon found the other earring in Nanny Fang's room. With the help of the old lady and her, they pushed all the blame onto Nanny Fang, and Lord Tan quickly released the old lady.
When the old lady came out of the cell and walked outside, she happened to run into Nanny Fang who was being tortured.
Nanny Fang had been beaten silently at first, and refused to say a word. But the moment she saw the old lady, a strong hatred burst out from her eyes: "My lords, I only killed people because of the old lady's orders. If you want to arrest someone, you should arrest her!"
Hearing what Nanny Fang said, panic flashed in the old lady's eyes, but her face remained calm: "Nanny Fang, it was you who stole a pair of my earrings, and Aunt He found out. You were afraid of being exposed, so you killed her.
You killed Aunt He, and even her husband and son. Your crime is unforgivable. The other earring found in your room is evidence. What else can you say to quibble?"
The old lady's righteous and stern look made Fang Mama recognize this person for the first time: "God is watching what you do, and sooner or later you will get your comeuppance!"
