The courtyard fell silent instantly.

Then everyone was divided into men and women and stood in two rows.

The official waved his hand and said: “Take them away!”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Gu Fei: “Sir, I, I have something to report!”

Gu Fei looked back and saw it was Zhenzhu.

The official pointed at the Zhenzhu and said, “You, come out and speak!”

Zhenzhu walked out with her head lowered, knelt in front of the official with a plop, and raised her head timidly, “Sir, I, I want to report something.”

When Gu Fei heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

But at this time, the officers and soldiers were watching eagerly, and she did not dare to move.

She then heard Zhenzhu say: “Sir, the second young lady, and Feicu have hidden a lot of jewelry and silver on their bodies.”

The official squinted his eyes, “Is this true?”

Zhenzhu kowtowed repeatedly: “I dare not deceive you, sir.”

The official sneered: “Second Miss, Feicui, you come out!”

Everyone looked at the two people in panic. Some of them also had something secretly hidden on their bodies. What if they had to be searched all of a sudden?

It was all this dead girl, Zhenzhu’s fault, who rebelled against her master!

The second young lady was trembling all over and her teeth were chattering. Gu Fei gritted her teeth and helped her out.

The officer looked at the two and raised propped his chin: “Search them!”

The second young lady’s face instantly turned pale. These officers and soldiers were all men. If she was searched in public, her reputation would be ruined, and she would have no choice but to die!

Gu Fei suddenly struggled and knelt towards the official, “Sir, this servant, and the second young lady didn’t hide anything at all. This girl named Zhenzhu has always secretly hated the second young lady. She did this just to ruin the second young lady’s reputation.”

When Gu Fei said this, she gritted her teeth and kowtowed to the official. While kowtowing, she was doing some psychological training for herself. Kowtowing was nothing. She had never suffered anything to survive.

“I hope the lord will be kind to us poor women, and let us have some face, and let a woman search us instead.”

The official looked at Gu Fei indifferently and sneered. Just as he was about to speak, a kind-looking official next to him looked at the faint blood stains on Gu Fei’s back. He couldn’t bear it and said, “Master Liu, this girl can be considered loyal and protective. I think it’s better to just follow what she said.”

Master Liu, the official, snorted coldly: “Where are you going to find a trustworthy woman to search people soon?”

The official turned his eyes and pointed at Zhenzhu, who was still kneeling on the ground. “It’s better to let this girl search. Since she reported it, she won’t show any favoritism.”

Master Liu glanced at Zhenzhu indifferently: “Alright.”

Master Liu pointed at the Zhenzhu and said, “Go and search. It’s okay if you find something. If you can’t find it -” He sneered.

Zhenzhu quickly got up from the ground: “Sir, I promise to find it. I saw them hid it by with my own eyes!”

The second young lady could hardly stand at this moment.

She gritted her teeth and looked at the approaching Zhenzhu: “Why? I think I treat you well!”

Zhenzhu sneered: “You only have eyes for Feicui. You leave all your clothes, jewelry, and silver to her for safekeeping. I am also your first-class servant, why don’t you treat me the same?”

Zhenzhu quickly got up from the ground, with a twisted smile on her face, and walked straight towards Gu Fei.
