Fang Zuotang was telling the truth. Gu Qingtong's family and Grandma Chen's family have been from Ningguta for generations. If this matter is not handled properly, not only will the reputation be ruined, but the Meng family will also become a dog-skin plaster, sticking to them until death. In the end, Gu Qingtong's family and Grandma Chen may have to move away with their family, and they may never return to Ningguta.
Pang Yi was still furious: "They raised a son who is worse than pigs and dogs. And they still have the nerve to ask for an explanation? This is not my fault. If it were my fault, I would cut him into pieces!"
"What's the point of saying these things now?" Zhong Mingwei frowned and glanced at Pang Yi, then took a sip of tea. After a pause, he looked at Fang Zuotang again, "How do you plan to let Miss Gu say this in public?"
Yes. If she could really tell it, Gu Qingtong would not be able to live, but if she didn't tell it, Mr. Meng would pester her. It was really frustrating.
"Then... how about we change the trial to the Flower Hall? If the Meng family really wants to explain, they have to sign and seal in advance, and not to reveal a single word afterwards. Otherwise, they will be thrown into prison," Fang Zuotang's eyes suddenly lit up. He discussed with Zhong Mingwei, "When the trial is held in the Flower Hall, no men will be allowed in. Only Madam Meng will be allowed in from the Meng family, so let the princess personally conduct the trial. The princess is of noble status, so she will not be biased. Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Before Zhong Mingwei could speak, Pang Yi clapped his hands: "This is a good idea! It can not only save Miss Gu's face, but also completely resolve the matter without any worries."
Zhong Mingwei also nodded: "Then let's wait for a while and let Miss Gu take a break."

backyard.
Fang Chengyin's boudoir.
When Ah Tao and Mei Ya hurried over, Fang Cheng Yin was already extremely anxious. She was pacing back and forth in the courtyard. Seeing Mei Ya coming in, she hurriedly went to greet her: "Madam, you are finally here! Please go in and see Miss Gu! She seemed to be deaf to whatever I said to her. She didn't say a word. It was really scary. You are familiar with Miss Gu. Please go and persuade her. I am really afraid that she will be upset."
"Where are Miss Gu's parents? Didn't anyone go to notify them?" Meiya looked around. The yard was empty, with no one around. "It would be best if her parents were by her side right now, right?"
"We sent someone to inform them, but as soon as Aunt Gu heard about it, she fainted and is still lying at home," Fang Chengyin said in a low voice, "Aunt Gu has always been in poor health, and this time her condition is very serious. Uncle Gu didn't dare to leave easily, so he rushed to Grandma Chen's house to report the news."
"What should we do?" Meiya also became anxious. "If something happens to Miss Gu, wouldn't that mean Aunt Gu's death?"
"So Madam, please go in quickly and persuade Miss Gu. I don't dare to go in anymore." Fang Chengyin urged again.
"Okay, I'll go in and take a look first," Meiya took a deep breath, took off her cloak and handed it to Ah Tao, while holding her long cotton robe and walked inside. But after two steps, she stopped, then turned around and whispered to Fang Chengyin, "Miss Fang, please ask someone to boil some hot water so that Miss Gu can take a good bath later."
"It's already cooked and can be washed anytime," Fang Chengyin nodded hurriedly, "Madam, please go in quickly!"
Mei Ya then walked into the room, lifted the curtain and entered Fang Chengyin's bedroom, but the bedroom was empty. When Mei Ya was shocked and wanted to call someone in, she saw a person squatting in the corner. Mei Ya was startled and realized that the person with disheveled hair was Gu Qingtong. Her eyes immediately became hot, and she blinked hurriedly to calm down, then walked towards Gu Qingtong.
