Magistrate Gu feared the case would encounter further complications, so he immediately said, "Mrs. Gu Pan, quickly confess how you plotted to harm Mrs. Fei!"
Granny Gu did not wish to say a word, but Lord Lai was still watching her, with unabated pleading in his eyes, urging her to confess quickly so the case could be closed; he could not afford further embarrassment.
What the noble wanted was someone who could help him dominate Jiangnan, not someone who would drag him down.
Granny Gu felt that she had spent her life trapped by this old tree on Lord Lai, and upon seeing Lord Lai's expression, she painstakingly confessed, word by word, how she had plotted against Mrs. Fei.
After Yuan Jiaman died years ago, the Yuan Family People were unhappy with her, and rumors spread that she was responsible for Yuan Jiaman's death, intending to drown her in a pig's cage.
