An Yuan'er frowned and bluntly said, "Have you all heard the saying, 'Don't suffer for others, and don't advise others to do good'? A woman's reputation is especially important. Some time ago, when I went out on the street, I don't know how many people cursed and criticized me behind my back. At that time, was there anyone who stood up to speak a word of justice for me?"
The room fell silent instantly.
It is indeed easy to get forgiveness from others, because it hasn't happened to them.
The two girls who had made a mistake cried out, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, help us..."
Han Yuanyuan continued, "Yuan'er, please give me some face and spare them. They grew up with me and are only fourteen or fifteen years old. They really don't deserve to die."
An Yuan'er hated Han Yuanyuan's hypocrisy. She turned to look at her brother and asked, "Brother, do you think I should let them go?"
Hearing An Yuan'er's words, Han Yuanyuan felt a glimmer of hope. She moved closer to An Huishou and said, "Huishou, is it alright?"
An looked away and said calmly, "Yuan'er is in charge. I have no objection."
Han Yuanyuan's face was ashen. An Huaishou had spent some time with her and had been quite tolerant of her, often going along with her wishes. She had been confident that An Huaishou would plead for her, but she had miscalculated.
An Yuan'er said directly, "I never intended to kill you, but your mouths are always talking nonsense, so I think it's best to sew them shut."
As soon as An Yuan'er finished speaking, several old women stepped forward, picked up thick needles and thread, and began to inflict the punishment.
The scene of the torture was somewhat bloody; needles and thread were pierced through the mouth, and the skin on the mouth began to bleed until it became blurred.
Even with such pain, with its mouth sewn shut, it couldn't even make a sound, only able to let out mournful "woo-woo" moans.
The women present unconsciously covered their mouths; even though it wasn't their mouths that were being sewn on, they still felt a chill run down their spines.
After all, when the rumors were spreading like wildfire, the women present had discussed An Yuan'er's rights and wrongs to some extent.
An Yuan'er sewed her mouth shut only to warn everyone about the saying that trouble comes from the mouth.
Halfway through the torture, the two men fainted from the unbearable pain.
"Princess, should we continue the torture?"
An Yuan'er waved her hand: "No need, take your men down."
Many things happened at Guanyuntai today. Tonight will surely be unforgettable for many.
A meteor shower appears, a divinely chosen person is selected, and a county princess is bestowed upon her by special favor… At this moment, the gears of fate begin to arrange different lives.

The group departed one after another from the Cloud-Viewing Platform.
After everyone left, Han Yuanyuan's maid passed by An Huishou and slipped him a small note.
A gathering in the palace garden. — Circle
An hesitated for a moment. Han Yuanyuan was always well-behaved, and now that it was late at night, she would never do something like meeting him secretly late at night.
With the idea of going to take a look, An turned around and arrived at the garden.
The garden is filled with artificial hills, and under the cover of darkness, it is completely dark and impossible to see clearly.
An Huai hadn't taken two steps when someone hugged him from behind around the waist.
"Turn around, it's me." Han Yuanyuan's voice carried a hint of shyness.
Today's events have made Han Yuanyuan panic. She had confidently assumed that An Huaishou liked her, which is why she always acted coy. But now Han Yuanyuan is starting to regret it. She wonders if it was her ambiguous attitude that made An Huaishou hesitate.
So she came today to give An Huai a clear answer.
