"My plan is perfect. It will succeed only if I take the last step. But, God is blind after all." Dongmei smiled miserably.
"The young lady has done me a favor. I absolutely cannot let her bear the consequences of my mistakes."
If there is a chance to break free from the quagmire, Gu Fanzhi will naturally seize it.
"Dongmei, you are so brave. Your young lady and I have been so good to each other, but you actually did such a thing behind our backs." Gu Fanzhi said righteously.
"Dongmei knows I was wrong. My mistake was that I wasn't careful enough, which exposed my flaws and implicated both the Fourth Prince and the young lady. But I don't regret it." Dongmei straightened her back. "That woman, Mu Zhitao, was hypocritical and vicious. She deserved to die."
When Prefect Fang heard this, he was very angry, and the people outside the hall were even angrier.
"No one in the Gu family is good."
"He did something wrong, yet he refuses to repent and even dares to speak ill of me. How despicable."
"Kill this black-hearted woman."
"Yes. Kill her."
"Both the master and the servant deserve to die. They are not good people."
"Severe punishment is necessary."
If the yamen runners had not stopped them, the people outside the court would have rushed in and torn Dongmei to pieces.
Prefect Fang slammed the gavel and shouted several times before the outside quieted down.
"You have committed a sin and you still don't repent. You are truly beyond redemption."
After Prefect Fang finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and looked at the guards, "How did you receive the order?"
Before, after bringing them up, no one had asked in detail because everyone subconsciously assumed that since they were the Fourth Prince's men, it went without saying that the order was his.
The six guards finally had the chance to speak. They were not stupid and knew what to say at this time.
"Yesterday, Dongmei came with the prince's badge and told us to go to a different household and instigate them to force Kinomo to sabotage the vaccination."
"When we saw the badge, we thought it was an order from Her Highness, so we obeyed her and went over obediently."
"Our subordinates didn't investigate, and someone took advantage of the situation. We are willing to accept the punishment." The six people said in unison.
The matter seemed to have come to light.
In order to take revenge on Mu Zhitao, a maid did a series of things behind her master's back.
It seems reasonable, but many people don't believe it.
"I don't believe it." The little fat man yelled, "How did a servant like her get the Fourth Prince's badge?"
Dongmei said calmly, "Because I know that the Fourth Prince takes a rest at noon every day, and the guards won't stop me. I took advantage of that time to steal her badge."
"It will be the same when we go back later. I know the Fourth Prince's daily routine and what he likes to eat. If you don't believe me, you can ask me anything and see if I can answer." In order to make everyone believe her, Dongmei revealed even the deepest secret in her heart.
As a woman, Gu Pianran was the most sensitive. When she heard this, her heart sank.
She never knew that the people around her actually admired and liked Gu Fanzhi.
She didn't even know what Gu Fanzhi liked, but she knew it clearly.
Gu Fanzhi frowned slightly, but didn't think too much about it, nor did he want to think too much about it. Being admired by the maidservant next to the person he liked might be a trivial matter to others, but it was difficult for him to speak of it.
