"Miss, I am the one who has failed to live up to your trust and the Gu family." Manager Gu was confessing.
Gu Pianran said righteously to the two elders seated at the top, "My Lords, it was my failure to discipline them that allowed them to do this. As the head of the trading company, I bear unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and I will admit it. For any woman whose appearance has been ruined by my Gu family, we will spend all our wealth to cure their illness."
These words calmed the angry people outside a little.
"My lady, this is all my fault. It is my fault, this old slave, and I should acknowledge it. I owe it to all the women who have been hurt. I am paying it back with my life."
After saying this, he rushed towards the pillar above the court without hesitation and hit his head against it, blood gushing out and the steward died on the spot.
Gu Pianran was shocked and rushed to the steward Gu, "Uncle Gu. Uncle Gu, why are you so stupid?"
She was crying, feeling sad for Manager Gu, who was covered in blood.
Looking at Manager Gu lying in a pool of blood, Gu Pianran's crying eyes were full of hatred, and that hatred was directed at the person outside the door.
They were the ones who forced Manager Gu to death.
And there is the culprit. If it weren't for her, Uncle Gu wouldn't have died, and the Gu family wouldn't have suffered such a great disaster.
The death of Manager Gu made the originally noisy outside the hall quiet.
No one expected him to be so decisive.
They didn't know, but Bei Yutang knew clearly that only if he died now could the Gu family be preserved.
A death without evidence made it impossible for the government to kill the Gu family.
The Gu family will be severely damaged by this incident, but they will definitely not die out.
The culprit is dead, bringing the matter of the poisonous cream to an end.
This matter was settled, but the battle between Gu Pianran and Bei Yutang had just begun.
This war is destined to be a fight to the death.
After Lord Wang's trial, the Gu family was found guilty of inspection, and the cream was sold by the Gu family business. The Gu family must compensate all the poisoned people and provide them with unconditional medical treatment.
Gu Pianran, the head of the business, was sentenced to thirty strokes of the cane.
Bei Yutang stood outside the door and watched her execution. At first she could endure the pain, but as time went on, even though she didn't want to show weakness, she let out screams of pain.
As the stick fell one after another, Gu Pianran's eyes turned red.
A man who claims to love her can only watch her suffer.
Tang Jingyu is unreliable.
Gu Fanzhi is even less reliable.
Men are really useless.
Even if Tang Jingyu had a backup plan and bribed Wang Lingzhi in advance, he still couldn't change anything.
As for Gu Fanzhi, he was very careful about his reputation. In his eyes, I was probably just an interesting toy.
The people of the imperial family are indeed heartless and disloyal.
"Ah!" Gu Pianran let out a cry of pain.
With every blow of the stick, her liking for the two men decreased by one point.
With every blow, her hatred for Bei Yutang grew a little more.
After thirty blows, Gu Pianran's back was stained red with blood. The servants of the Gu family carried her out. When they passed Bei Yutang, the one who had managed to hold back from fainting shouted for a stop.
Gu Pianran looked at Bei Yutang with crimson eyes. "Madam Mu, you are quite skillful. This time, I am convinced of my defeat. However, there is still a long way to go. I, Gu Pianran, will remember what happened today."
