"Hey, Siqin, you have to be patient when doing things. Gu Shi will naturally save Mrs. Gu, but whether she can be saved or not is not up to her."

"Oh! Are you saying that Lord Shen is impartial and selfless and will definitely not let her show favoritism?"

"That's only one aspect. The important thing is that Dad won't let her save him."

"Why?"

"Just watch." Why not? To offend Lord Shen for a servant who was not very loyal to begin with? Dad was not stupid, how could he not figure out which one was more difficult to deal with.

"Well... what should we do next?"

"Just prepare and pick a suitable day to send her off to the prison. This will also be considered revenge for Auntie."

Siqin smiled with tears in her eyes. The second young lady finally made it. She had finally waited for this day! At the moment, Mrs. Gu might not pose any threat. When the emperor nods and Madam Jing comes to propose marriage formally, our young lady will marry in style. This life will be worth it!

Si Hua was also nearby, muttering: "Mrs. Gu is really cruel. She actually killed someone else's son for her own son. Fortunately, Mr. Xu has guts. Otherwise, if it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the courage to sue."

"He is brave, but even though he won the lawsuit, his family is broken up. I heard that the brothers have been dependent on each other since childhood, but now the elder brother is gone, alas!" It seems like a big victory, but in fact he lost everything.

"Then... how about I go out and burn some paper money for Brother Xu?"

"Well, Si Hua, you have such a broad mind, that's good. Just take the fifty taels of silver and give it to Xu Xiucai, don't tell him it was me who asked you to do it."

The court won a great victory. Xu Xiucai cried bitterly in front of the court and helped the disabled Cai back home. Yes, Cai swore in court that she would be Xu Housheng's widow for life, guarding his coffin and managing the family. The people watching the excitement at the door also secretly shed tears.

What a heroic woman!

Xiaosui also followed them out of Jingzhao Prefecture, but when she saw the two people in front of her supporting each other, she felt that she was a little redundant.

After taking a deep look at the two of them, she turned and walked towards the north gate. "Child, I have repaid your life-saving grace and my revenge. Where should I go now?"

Xu Xiucai completely forgot about the existence of the little beggar, and supported his sister-in-law all the way to the place where his brother was buried outside the city. Just as he was about to cry, he saw a man squatting in front of his brother's grave, burning paper for him.

Strange, who is this girl?

"Miss, who are you? Why are you burning paper in front of my brother's grave?"

Si Hua stood up and looked at the two people with pale faces, feeling sad.

"I heard that Brother Xu was vindicated today, so I came here to tell him the good news. I hope he would feel a little relieved if he knew about it."

"You, do you also know about my brother?"

Si Hua said nothing, but took out a heavy package from his arms.

"This is for you. I hope your life will be better in the future."

Xu Xiucai was alert and almost immediately thought that this was someone sent by the Xu family to bribe him in order to save Mrs. Gu. Just as he was about to refuse, his sister-in-law spoke:

"Take it, it's okay. Little girl, thank your master for me." This was the little maid who chatted with me until half the night. Now it seems that she did tell me those things on purpose.

"Sister Cai, what do you mean by master? I don't understand."

"I was wrong. Thank you." A smile appeared on Cai's face. Ever since someone falsely gave her the order to cut spending, she knew that someone was seeking revenge for her. Someone was smarter than her and wanted to kill Mrs. Gu more.

Although I don't know whose maid this girl belongs to in the mansion, but apart from the second young lady, who else hates the Gu family more than me?

"You're welcome. I'll go back first. Goodbye, Sister Cai!"

Gu Shuang sat in the mansion and listened to the whole story of the lawsuit.

It turned out that the whole thing was ruined by this Cai. As soon as Cai came to the court, she pointed out how Nanny Gu had used coercion and bribery to make her infamous, and even threatened her family's lives to force her to marry her son.

At that time, Nanny Gu always acted in a high-profile manner, wishing she had no direct evidence. She did not care much about covering up her means of spreading rumors and mental attacks. Therefore, she randomly found a few neighbors on the back street, and everyone said that it was true.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Madam Gu endured ten beatings with the stick and insisted that Gu Shuang had no knowledge of the matter. Only in this way could Xu Xiucai's accusation against Gu Shuang be invalidated.

"Oh! She has been very devoted to me." After hearing this, Gu Shuang sighed softly. After all, she was someone he brought from the mansion. After many years of friendship, she was loyal to him.

Gu said to the servant, "Let's put it this way. We may not be able to ask Shen Yue directly for help in Jingzhao Prefecture. What if he suddenly goes crazy? And if we bribe the chief official, it will be a waste of time." Gu still had some brains and knew that she couldn't ask Lord Shen directly for help.

"Go and help me send some silver to the warden of Jingzhao prison, and ask him to help and not let Madam Gu suffer too much. Also, ask him to help keep an eye out and see if we can go in to visit her in prison."

"Yes, little one, go right here."

Gu Shuang already had a plan. It was only right that a person should be punished with death. Although he was not sentenced to death in court, it was estimated that he would be sentenced to death when the new year was over. As long as he found a substitute and put him in jail before the New Year, and then the substitute died of illness in prison, no one would be able to say anything.

Yes, the simplest plan is the most effective. As long as we can bribe the jailer, bring someone in to visit him, and then switch things up, Nanny Gu will be safe.

She stood up and looked at Huixiang with a gentle expression: "Thank you for telling me this, but you found the account book a few days ago, why did you tell me today?"

Huixiang fell to her knees, knowing that this was the lady’s final test for her.

"As the New Year approaches, Madam is troubled by many things. I dare not tell you and make you unhappy, so I originally planned to tell you after the New Year. And I thought that Madam Gu has been by your side for many years, maybe you should give her another chance, maybe she will come to her senses."

Gu Shuang looked at Huixiang who was lowering her head, with contempt in her heart and eyes: Nanny Gu was unfaithful to me, and you are not a good person either!

It seems that after this matter is over, Huixiang can't stay too long, otherwise once she exposes the matter, my situation will be bad.

"Good boy, get up. You know, even if we rescue Mammy this time, she can't show up in public. I will send her away from Beijing. You are the only capable person around me, and I will not treat you unfairly."

Gu helped Huixiang up. The latter's eyes were full of desire for power. Great! The stinky old woman was finally killed!

"Thank you, madam!"

"By the way, did no one notice that you were pawning the equipment in the warehouse?"

"No, no, I always go to a pawnshop far away, and I always change the location. No one has ever noticed."

"That's good, that's good. I'll trust you to do the job."
