Gu Hua slightly tossed aside the crying old woman and looked at her coldly. With a hint of coldness in her eyes, she said, ”Yue'er, you really have a good plan.”

At this point, she could no longer say that she was innocent. She would not have harmed the Prime Minister or even the entire Prime Minister's Residence if she had not used any means to obtain the herbs herself.

”Since you heard the conversation between Gu Qingcheng and King Hengyang, then, have you ever thought about it? If the emperor could shake the foundation of the Prime Minister's Estate, why wait till now? ”My father is a clean and honest man, even if the emperor had charged him with a fake crime, would you have used your life or the entire mansion to accompany him in death?!”

”Miss …” How could Yue Yang know that she had been completely used up? The remorse in her heart had made it impossible for her to live here forever, so she did not bother to wipe her tears away, grabbing onto Gu Hua's skirt, ”Master and Madam are not dead yet. Take me to see the authorities, I admit my mistakes, I admit my mistakes, all of this has nothing to do with the Prime Minister.”

Gu Hua kicked the hand away and sneered, ”Yue? Could it be that you don't understand why Gu Qingcheng insisted on coming to you without anyone else?”

”…” Yue Lao swallowed his saliva and looked at Gu Hua Wei with a trembling voice.

”Because you are an old man of this mansion.”

All the elders in this mansion, including those who had followed Gu Qiansheng in the beginning, had been trained by the Prime Minister. How could they not be easily used by a concubine as a young lady? Using an old man from the Residence to testify for Gu Qiansheng would only be a huge joke in the capital!

”Eldest Miss …” She had never been able to understand why the young mistress wanted her to buy medicinal herbs. Her original goal was indeed here, so that meant that the things she had heard that night were only a trap set up by Gu Qingcheng and King Hengyang.

”Gu Qingcheng is really smart,” Gu Hua smiled lightly, her bright eyes filled with a cold light, ”Knowing that she's playing with Long Yu to lure you into the game and using you to do what she can do, even if we investigate her one day, we won't be able to find out anything about her. After all, she hasn't done anything from the beginning till the end, hasn't she?” What did it have to do with her? The herbs were bought by Yue. The wine was given to him by Yue. Yue had always been Gu Qiansheng's subordinate.

Even if it was investigated thoroughly, Gu Qingcheng would not be affected by even a single leaf. It was indeed a good plan.

She really regretted it. She regretted it thoroughly, but regret was the most useless thing in this world.

”You have to remember what kind of person you are.” Gu Hua Wei didn't plan to let this old woman who was over a hundred years old off, ”You are a slut who has protected you from all those years of betrayal, you are a sinner who killed the old and young, you are a villain who has betrayed your own life for your own, you are a treacherous and cruel person who did the most shameful thing in this world, you are the one who repay kindness with hatred, a coward who is afraid of being killed, but look at yourself, you are so pathetic, you have hurt so many people, you look like a pig now, even if you are cursed for life, you are still a beast, remember everything, you still want to live a life, and your conscience is betrayed by yourself.”

It is not the sin that gives you, it is your own sin that betrays your own last conscience.

”You have to remember who brought you all of this.”

Gu Hua turned around and walked out of the Prime Minister's residence, not even sparing a glance at Yue.

Blood dripped from the corner of Yue Shan's lips. His face was covered in dirt and he looked miserable. The pain and confusion in his eyes had all eventually turned into a bone-deep hatred!
