For ordinary people, the expression of surprise would not last more than a second. Just like Prime Minister Luo, he could never imagine that Wang Xixi would actually kill people. However, his expression of surprise only lasted for a moment, and then it turned into disgust.
But the surprise expressed by the eldest lady was just staring with eyes wide open. Her acting was so exaggerated that it made people want to cover their faces.
Luo Xue Ning really wanted to ask, won’t it hurt your eyes if you stare like this?
Wang Mimi knew that Luo Xuening already had all the evidence of her crimes, and no matter how she tried to argue, it would be useless.
Wang Mimi glanced at the eldest lady dimly, and saw her shaking her head slightly at her. Was she asking her not to give her away?
The corners of Wang Weiwei's mouth twitched slightly, but that smile did not reach her eyes.
As a servant, she knew, of course, that no matter whether the truth was revealed or not, she must never implicate her master. Having been a slave all her life, she had some awareness of this.
However, she felt unwilling to give up in her heart. She knew that she would not be able to escape death if she confessed her guilt. Isn't it only natural to pay for one's murder?
"Fourth Miss, yes, you are right, I am guilty, I plead guilty."
Luo Xuening looked at Wang Xiaoxiao coldly: "Any murder always has a motive. Tell me, what is your motive?"
Luo Xuening knew that Wang Xixi was very loyal to the First Madam, and this time, Wang Xixi would definitely not betray the First Madam.
But it doesn’t matter. Prime Minister Luo will not blindly believe the eldest lady. As long as Wang Xixi reveals even a little clue, Prime Minister Luo will realize that Wang Xixi is just following orders.
Today, even if she can't do anything to the eldest lady, she will make Prime Minister Luo give up on her.
Wang Weiwei glanced at Luo Xue Ning dimly with hatred in her eyes. How could she not know what Luo Xue Ning was planning? No matter how old she was, she could not be fooled by a little girl.
"Fourth Miss, if you hadn't bullied the first lady and the first lady so many times, I wouldn't have come up with this idea. I did this alone."
"Wang, you..."
The eldest lady's eyes were red with tears. Wang Weiwei took the blame for her. Deep down, she would be lying if she said she wasn't moved.
"How could you do that?"
But, no matter how touched she was, for the sake of her own reputation and honor in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the First Lady still pushed the matter onto Wang Xixi.
The eldest lady looked at Wang Weiwei in disbelief; the shock and regret in her eyes were so genuine.
Prime Minister Luo looked at the eldest lady's expression and narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that the eldest lady really didn't know about this?
"Father, since Wang Xixi Yijing has admitted his crime, he should be sentenced to death according to Nanshao law."
"What?"
The eldest lady was indeed frightened by Luo Xue Ning's words. Luo Xue Ning wanted Wang Xixi's life.
"Madam, don't you know the laws of Nanshao? Wang Xixi committed murder intentionally. She had no grudge against He Xixi. She just killed to vent her anger. How can such a person be sentenced to death?"
Wang Xixi's face turned pale with fright. She looked at the eldest lady for help. Although she admitted the crime, it did not mean that she wanted to die.
"Master, Wang Weiwei's crime does not deserve death. Please, Master, let her go for the sake of Wang Weiwei's care for me for so long."
The eldest lady and Wang Weiwei then felt scared. Luo Xue Ning had been planning to kill Wang Weiwei from the very beginning. This woman was even more cold-blooded than they had imagined.
"Madam, Daddy is the Prime Minister, in charge of all officials and taking the lead. You know that Wang Mi Mi has committed murder, but you still ask Daddy to protect her?"
"Even if Daddy wants to protect me, if Daddy's political enemies find out about this, it will become a stain on Daddy. Madam, are you going to abandon the Prime Minister's Mansion just for the sake of a servant?"
Luo Xuening spoke coldly, and returned to her exactly the words that the eldest lady had just given her.
"you?"
The eldest lady looked at Luo Xuening coldly, her lips and face loosened, but she didn't know how to refute, Luo Xuening, you are so hateful.
Luo Xue Ning looked at the eldest lady with a squint. "Now you are afraid. Why didn't you feel scared when you killed people? Why didn't you know that you would have to pay for your life if you killed someone?"
"Father, although Wang Mimi is a servant of my mansion, she is guilty of murder and it is not appropriate to deal with her privately. I think we should send Wang Mimi to the authorities. I heard that Lord Li of the Ministry of Justice is honest and upright, and he will definitely give an explanation for the death of He Mimi."
"Luoxue Ning, how can you be so cold-blooded?"
The eldest lady was really getting impatient now. If she handed the case over to someone else, at worst, they could just spend a little more time and effort to bribe them and make the matter smaller. Once the matter was resolved, it would be over. At most, Wang Xixi would suffer some physical pain in prison, but his life would not be in danger.
However, if the case is handed over to Lord Li, it will be impossible to bribe or beg for mercy.
The eldest lady was amazed at Luo Xuening's scheming, and a hat of cold-bloodedness was put on her head.
"Madam, how come I have become cold-blooded after dealing with the murderer for so long? Could it be that Madam wants me to let the murderer go so that she can continue to harm people in the mansion?"
"Today, Wang Xixi may kill Xixi because she doesn't like me and my aunt. Tomorrow, she may kill someone else because a maid annoyed her. The eldest lady is not cold-blooded at all, so she kept this murderer alive, but I can't keep him alive."
Luo Xue Ning has already said this, if Prime Minister Luo still doesn't understand the seriousness of this, he would be unworthy of being the head of the family.
"That's enough. You don't need to plead for her anymore. This woman is so arrogant, and it's not you who tolerates her. As the mistress of the house, you are so contemptuous of the law and human ethics. Gu Lan, you really make me feel disappointed."
"Master?"
The eldest lady cried out in a plaintive voice. Her rudeness and unreasonableness could be applied to Luo Xuening, but not to Prime Minister Luo.
"Stop talking. Come, send this woman to Lord Li of the Ministry of Justice and let him deal with her as he pleases. As for you..."
Prime Minister Luo glanced at the eldest lady with his cold eyes and said, "From today on, go to the Buddhist temple and reflect on your sins for three months."
What? Three months of reflection? Doesn't that mean that the First Lady will have to hand over her power, and everyone in the mansion will have to laugh at her and Gu Lan.
"Master, I am your concubine."
The eldest lady wanted to say something else, but Prime Minister Luo had already walked away in anger. The hateful look in his eyes before he left deeply hurt the eldest lady's heart.
The eldest lady was proud, but no matter how proud she was, she could not face her husband's alienation and abandonment. She gritted her teeth and clenched her palms tightly until the pain in her palms reached her heart.
"Does Madam regret it?"
"The eldest lady turned around and stared at Luo Xue Ning with disgust: "Luo Xue Ning, I will not let you go."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xue Ning simply turned around coldly, looking down at the eldest lady of Langxi.
"You won't let me go? Madam, listen carefully. This is just the beginning. Don't think I don't know. Wang Xixi is only following your orders. I will punish you for all the evil you have done."
"Wang Weiwei is going to die. Are you heartbroken? Let me tell you, if you dare to do evil again in the future, Wang Weiwei's fate today will be your example."
"you"
The eldest lady had never been threatened like this before. She pointed her finger at Luo Xuening's nose, but Luo Xuening ruthlessly waved her hand away.
"What do you mean by 'I'? Madam, God is watching what you do. If you kill someone, don't even think about living a peaceful life."
The eldest lady's face was pale and red. She was so shocked today that her body went limp. She staggered in front of Luo Xuening like a little clown.
