Xu Jiayi saw that the situation was out of control, so she quickly glanced at the old lady who'd barged into the court earlier to create a scene and make sure that Feng Tianlan was found guilty.
The old lady threw her a glance to signal that she'd get it done. She looked up at Feng Tianlan and was about to speak when she noticed a middle-aged man in the crowd. Her face immediately went pale, and her eyes widened. She quickly knelt next to Feng Xiupei and started wailing.
"Your Honor! I plead guilty! I was threatened into accepting a bribe of silver coins to make a scene in court and pressure My Lord into sentencing Feng Tianlan to death!"
Feng Xiupei and Xu Jiayi were stunned. Why was she betraying them now?
