Gu Pianran's indifferent expression collapsed at this moment.
"Beat this bad woman to death." someone in the crowd shouted.
"Beat her to death."
As soon as the first person threw, the second person threw, and then the third and fourth followed.
The yamen runners wanted to protect her, but they were unable to stop the angry people.
Rotten eggs and leaves were constantly thrown at her face and body, making her look miserable.
"Protect the young lady." The servants of the Gu Mansion rushed out.
"You bunch of troublemakers." Xia He cursed angrily, blocking Gu Pianran with her body.
The people from the Gu Mansion stepped forward to stop them, but no matter how many of them there were, they were not as many as the people surrounding them outside.
During the massage, the two sides suddenly started to fight, and in an instant, the scene became chaotic.
Lord Wang and Lord Zhao hurriedly ordered the bailiffs to pull them apart. It took a full cup of tea to finally separate the two sides.
"You are going too far." The steward of the Gu Mansion pointed angrily at the people outside the door.
"You, the Gu family, take human lives lightly, yet you still have the nerve to point at us." The people outside said angrily.
"My daughter's happiness was destroyed by you. And you still have the nerve to say, 'Give my daughter back her happiness.'"
"My sister's face was also ruined by Gu's poisonous cream. Her life is over. All of this is caused by you, Gu's."
…
People kept complaining about the misfortunes of their family members, and the root cause of the misfortune was Gu's cream.
In a restaurant not far from the Gu Mansion, Bei Yutang sat at a window seat on the second floor, looking at the noisy scene below and Gu Pianran's disheveled appearance, with a smile on the corner of her lips.
She thought she would remain calm for a long time, but now it seems that's all.
"Well done." Dai Xiang said excitedly.
Even Xue Qian, who was always kind, remained silent and watched coldly.
Because the incident became too serious, for safety reasons, Gu Pianran finally took a carriage to the Ministry of Justice prison.
The Fourth Prince's Mansion
"Your Highness, the results are in. It's Gu's face cream that's faulty. Lord Wang and Lord Zhao have already gone to arrest Miss Gu."
Gu Fanzhi stood up from his seat and walked out of the study without thinking.
However, as soon as he came out, he happened to meet his first strategist Zhao Gao.
"Your Highness, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"I have something urgent to do."
"Your Highness, is this about Miss Gu?" Zhao Gao asked.
Gu Fanzhi didn't say anything and walked out.
"Your Highness, you must not go there now. Going there will only make things worse for Miss Gu." Zhao Gao said.
Gu Fanzhi stopped and asked, "Zhao Gao, what do you mean?"
"Your Highness, please remember the rumors about you and Miss Gu a while ago. If you go there now, you'll fall into their trap. Those people have been watching you, waiting for you to come to them. If they knew how important Miss Gu is to you, how could they turn against her? If you go there, it will only put her in even greater danger."
Zhao Gao's words made Gu Fanzhi give up the idea, but he couldn't just do nothing and watch her suffer.
"I can't just stand by and watch her being wrongly accused."
"I'll leave this matter to my subordinates. Your Highness, you only need to stay at home and complete the tasks assigned by the emperor." Zhao Gao said.
"I feel most at ease leaving it to you. Be sure to protect her well." Gu Fanzhi advised.
"Don't worry, Your Highness."
