Without even looking at her, the old lady ordered coldly, "Bring the people to the courtyard, and then call for the few rough people from the nanny to properly execute their punishments. If they dare to go waterproofing, I will have them be punished along with the maid!"

The servant girl was still confused about the situation. When she heard that she was going to be punished, she immediately cried out, "Madam, what mistake has this servant made? Do you want to punish this servant?"

She struggled to escape from the imprisonment of the servants and ran to the madame.

One of the nanny was determined, she fiercely kicked her on the back, knocking the servant to the ground, then rushed forward to restrain her.

"What did you do wrong? Do you need me to explain it to you?" The madame glanced at her.

An Lingxue immediately spoke out, "You harbored evil intentions, causing Big Sis to almost lose her life, shouldn't Grandmother punish you?"

The servant girl's expression instantly turned pale, her eyes turned to An Lingyi, "Miss, I followed your instructions, quickly tell the old lady, I do not have any intentions of harming the young miss!"

An Lingyi avoided her gaze and said somewhat guiltily, "When did I let you plot against big sister? Your tricky slave's mouth is full of lies, yet you actually dared to climb onto my body and bite me. "

She turned her head and looked at Old Madem Xiang, "Grandmother, please make the decision to punish this evil slave."

In any case, the madame had already decided to let this maidservant take the blame. Even if others knew the truth, they could not reveal it. Why not be ruthless and make herself completely innocent?

The maidservant's eyes widened in disbelief, "Miss, it was clearly you who ordered this servant to …"

"Tell me what?" An Lingyi raised her eyebrows, she already had some confidence in herself now, "On the account that you have served me for so many years and my grandmother questioned me, she did not confess you, and instead took the blame herself. But since what you have done involved the entire Duke Palace, I cannot keep it a secret for you."

She only thought about it for a moment before she summarized the words she had said before. It was as if she had admitted her crimes only because this servant girl was hiding it from her and could not bear to have her servant be punished.

Whether others believed it or not, there was already a reason for it, and she could take it all out of it.

Looking at An Lingyi turning the truth into white, the servant girl's face became even paler, she knew that her young miss was sacrificing herself, and immediately explained everything to her.

The old lady's face darkened as she heard the story of how An Lingyi had ordered her to bribe someone and buy medicine from someone. She shouted loudly, "Are you still not going to take away this tricky slave who murdered my master and wait for her to climb up to bite my family's young miss?"

She made it clear that regardless of what the maid said, this matter could only be considered as her crime.

An Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, then secretly mocked An Lingge's stupidity. She actually came here to help him think of a way to escape for the sake of the so-called big picture.

Even if he did not punish her now, he would find a reason to punish her in the near future. Now that he had found a servant girl to take the blame, it was just that he was afraid that it would affect his Prince An's Palace.

An Lingge was naturally clear that if she was directly convicted of An Lingyi's crimes, in order to deal with the emperor, the old lady would probably think of a way to get rid of her, or send people to clean up the academy's remains. With this, even if the old lady found out that An Lingyi was the culprit, in order to not involve Prince An's Palace, she could not touch An Lingyi.

But when the matter was pushed to the maid beside An Lingyi, the Countess would naturally not hesitate, and would find an excuse to deal with An Lingyi, as killing two birds with one stone.

Although she looked like she was helping An Lingyi get out of the scam, in reality, she had dug a hole for him. She was just waiting for the old lady to find an excuse one day, and she would have to suffer a lot.

An Lingge's lips curved upwards, following the order of the law, he walked out.

"Madame, your servant is innocent!" The servant girl was pushed to the bench and continued to struggle. The old lady, along with An Lingxue and the rest, stood at the side and heard what was said and frowned, "Block her mouth."

The rags had naturally been prepared long ago. A woman picked up the rags and stuffed them into the servant girl's mouth.

The madame then nodded her head, "Fifty lashes, not one bit less." Not just Little Ge, the rest of you, take a good look at Little Xue who wants to see her executed.

She brought the few young misses out to watch the torture. It was not to teach them how to manage their servants, but to use this servant girl to beat them up. This was so that one or two of them wouldn't become restless and cause trouble every now and then.

An Lingxue seemed to be unable to bear it, a look of sympathy appeared on her delicate face, "It's just a servant …"

Her voice was low, as if she wanted to plead on behalf of the servant girl.

The old mistress' expression did not change, and her tone was much less than usual. "It's precisely because she's a servant that I can't let her off." This person, when he was born, he decided on a lot of things. "

It was precisely because she was not born well and was only a small maid, that she was used to taking the blame. If it wasn't for the fact that An Lingyi was the Young Miss of a house, she should be the one to be whipped.

However, An Lingxue thought that the madame was knocking her on the door, telling her not to think about marriage that did not belong to her due to Prince Mu’s Palace.

Her expression froze for a moment before quickly regaining her composure. "Grandmother is right. Birth does determine many things."

But even if being born determined many things, there were still many things that could be changed through hard work. For example, the most respected Queen in the palace, from a noble family of a noble king, with a prominent position and finally not getting favored by the Emperor, was climbed onto the head by the daughter of a small official of the Imperial Noble Consort Li.

An Lingxue's expression changed, seeing that the execution was starting, she lowered her head.

It wasn't that she was putting on an act this time, it was that she had never seen such an execution before. After all, the execution was a bloody mess, causing people to be afraid.

Naturally, An Lingyi did not dare to look, as she heard the whips in the air crackling, as if the whips had landed on him. She hurriedly lowered her head to look at her feet, trying her best to ignore the crackling sounds.

After a while, the madame was a little tired and had someone bring her back to her room. However, she ordered the ladies to finish watching the punishment.

An Lingge agreed, her gaze landing on the servant girl, seeing the whip leave a red wound, her face actually had an unspeakable indifference.
