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.
