Gu Fanzhi couldn't help but look at her, and his dislike for her faded a little, but only a little.
He admired her actions, but he didn't like her as a person.
Gu Pianran saw Gu Fanzhi's eyes on her and hurriedly said, "I can give each family one hundred taels of silver. It's not that anyone is unwilling to prove the innocence of our Gu's Trading Company."
One hundred taels of silver is an amount of money that many ordinary people cannot earn in their entire lives.
"I do." A female prisoner stood up.
"I'd like that, too."
"I do."
…
Five people stood up one after another, all looking at Gu Pianran eagerly.
Gu Pianran selected three of the younger ones from among them. The two who were not selected had a look of disappointment on their faces.
"Are you two willing to perform the Lei family's business experiment? I will also reward you with one hundred taels."
The two death row prisoners immediately showed joy on their faces.
Bei Yutang looked at the other people in the cell, "Is there anyone among you willing to give it a try?"
No one responded.
The head jailer said, "Many of them have rifts with their husbands and family members."
One sentence points out the situation.
A faint smug smile appeared on Gu Pianran's lips, waiting to see what she would do.
"If you think one hundred taels of silver is not what you want, I can promise you one thing, as long as it is something I can do and it is not illegal." Bei Yutang said.
Gu Fanzhi looked at Bei Yutang again, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
The woman was quick-witted. Since they didn't want the money, she promised them something else. This was probably an offer they couldn't refuse.
"I do."
"I do."
"I do."
"I do."
…
All of a sudden, except for a few, the remaining female prisoners in the cell stood up and looked at her with pleading eyes.
"I only need one."
As soon as Bei Yutang finished speaking, everyone began to beg.
"Ma'am, choose me. I agree to whatever you want me to do."
"Pick me, pick me, please, Madam, please be kind enough to pick me."
…
"Stop." Bei Yutang spoke, stopping them from begging in a hurry.
"She was the first one to stand up just now, so I chose her. As for the rest of you, I can only say sorry." Bei Yutang said apologetically to the female prisoners in the cell.
The woman who was chosen was a woman in her thirties with an old face. After hearing her words, a light flashed in her dull eyes.
The woman stepped forward and knelt without warning, "Thank you, ma'am."
"Don't thank me yet. It won't be too late to thank me after I fulfill your wish."
The woman nodded gratefully.
The candidates have been selected, and six prisoners are taken out of the cell and given a wash.
"Now that the people have been chosen, I will instruct my subordinates to bring our Gu Mansion's facial cream for them to apply, so that everything can be clarified in advance." Gu Pianran said with a smile.
When the Fourth Prince heard her say this, Yan had reasons to disagree.
"Um."
Gu Pianran was about to leave when she heard Bei Yutang calling her to stop.
"Ms. Gu, please wait a moment."
Gu Pianran turned around and looked at her doubtfully, "Madam Mu, is there anything else?"
This woman thought that this could prove that there was something wrong with Gu's face cream, but she was simply daydreaming.
When she put forward this suggestion, Gu Pianran had already imagined countless ways of replacing the prince with a cat in her mind.
"Ms. Gu, you don't need to go back home to get the cream." Bei Yutang said with a smile.
