I insist

Chapter 487: As Expected

"Our master has already said that she will not show any mercy, so there is no need for you two to say anything more."

The servant looked at Master Gao and Madam Gao expressionlessly and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"We've already come to apologize, and she won't even give us this much face? It was just a little girl's joke, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Hearing what the servants said, Madam Gao shouted at him.

When Lord Gao heard Madam Gao's words, he frowned and was very dissatisfied with her.

Upon hearing this, the servant sneered: "Madam Gao, your so-called joke led to the death of an old man, and she even accused my master of killing him!"

Doing this in front of all the people, you all know my master's identity. What's the difference between her doing this and killing someone and destroying their spirit?

"If it weren't for the prefect's keen observation, my master would be dead now. Are two lives really just a joke to you?"

The servant looked at Master Gao and Madam Gao with a very unpleasant expression, and said something that was not polite at all.

Lord Gao and his wife were surprised that a servant dared to speak to them like that. Just as they were about to say something, they saw that the servant had already closed the door.

Such impolite behavior made Lord Gao and his wife very uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do about it.

"What do we do now? If she doesn't help us, Min'er will have to stay in jail forever. She won't be able to take it, and then I'll lose my daughter."

Madam Gao clutched Lord Gao's sleeve, her eyes filled with tears.

Seeing her crying and sobbing like this, Lord Gao lost all patience: "Alright, do you think I don't know? Even if she doesn't want to do this..."

I need to force her to agree.

When Madam Gao heard what Lord Gao said, she knew he already had a solution, so she calmed down considerably.

Because of this incident, the Gao family was very angry and spread the word that Song Miqiu was petty, cold-blooded, and ruthless.

Song Miqiu had heard these words before she arrived at the clinic, but she didn't care at all and continued to treat patients as usual.

Today, a kind patient came and, looking at Song Miqiu, kindly reminded her, "Dr. Song, there are rumors circulating about you outside. You'd better explain yourself."

Otherwise, those ignorant people might believe it to be true, and your reputation would be ruined, which wouldn't be good for you either.

"A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear; let them say what they want," Song Miqiu said calmly.

Seeing her like this, the kind-hearted patient felt relieved, paid the bill, and left the clinic.

Song Miqiu, however, continued to do his own thing.

Madam Gao originally thought that by using public opinion, she could get Song Miqiu to come to them and release Gao Min'er, but she didn't expect that Song Miqiu would not react at all.

Seeing that Gao Min'er was about to be convicted, Madam Gao became even more anxious and cried in the mansion every day.

Lord Gao felt annoyed and somewhat helpless. Finally, he said softly, "Madam, go to the Prime Minister's residence. Since Song Miqiu is unwilling to agree, then find someone else to help."

"Go to the Prime Minister's residence? Can the Prime Minister help us?" Madam Gao asked with some worry.

"Don't go to see the Prime Minister, go to see Leng Qiulian, the Miss Sun of the Prime Minister's residence."

"Miss Sun? Would she be willing to help us?" Madam Gao asked with some concern. Although she knew that her daughter was on good terms with her, she was not sure if Leng Qiulian would help.

Lord Gao frowned slightly: "She will help with this matter. After all, if it weren't for her, Min'er wouldn't have ended up like this."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gao understood what was going on. Without even tidying herself up, she went straight to the Prime Minister's residence.

When Madam Gao arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, she said at the main gate that she wanted to see Leng Qiulian.

Because of Madam Leng's protection, Leng Qiulian was not punished by the Prime Minister in the end, but she was still locked in her boudoir and not allowed to go out.

"Miss, Madam Gao has arrived and says she wants to see you," a maidservant announced as she entered.

Upon hearing that it was her, Leng Qiulian immediately knew why she had come. She tensed up and quickly said, "I'm not feeling well right now..."

"It's not appropriate to meet with Mrs. Gao. Please have her leave."

Ever since the maid witnessed Leng Qiulian's cold-bloodedness, she has become more cautious in her speech, and often keeps quiet, doing whatever Leng Qiulian tells her to do.

Upon arriving at the gate, the maid bowed to Madam Gao and said softly, "Madam Gao, my young lady is unwell and cannot see anyone for the time being."

"Can't she see anyone? I think it's on purpose. Tell her that if she doesn't take responsibility for my daughter's situation, I'll expose how she instructed my daughter to do this."

Since my daughter is having a hard time, she naturally can't have a good time either.

Madam Gao had long anticipated that Leng Qiulian would say such a thing, so she had already figured out what to do.

The maid didn't know how to answer Madam Gao's words, so she could only resignedly return to Leng Qiulian's boudoir and relay Madam Gao's words to Leng Qiulian.

Leng Qiulian was at a loss. She already found the Prime Minister's words unacceptable, and if Madam Gao were to reveal them, she might end up in jail herself.

"No, we can't let Madam Gao tell anyone. Think of a way to stop her," Leng Qiulian said, grabbing the maid's hand.

The maid knelt on the ground: "This servant is foolish and could not think of a good way."

Leng Qiulian sat there somewhat at a loss, unsure of what to say.

Madam Leng also learned about what happened to Madam Gao in front of the Prime Minister's residence. Fearing that Madam Gao might say something at the door, she quickly had someone invite her in.

Madam Leng sat upright in the main hall, very dissatisfied with Leng Qiulian's actions. They were clearly in the wrong, yet instead of comforting her, they refused to see her.

At this moment, Madam Leng heard the sound, looked up and saw Madam Gao coming in, and said with a smile, "Madam Gao, you've come, please come and sit down."

"Madam Leng, I am unworthy of being called Madam Gao by you. After all, I am still your junior. I think you should know why I am here today."

Min'er is almost convicted, and I have no other choice. Madam Leng, your Prime Minister's residence cannot ignore this matter. After all, it was your granddaughter who asked my daughter to help with this.

If you don't help, then we have nothing more to hide and will have to tell the truth to all the people.

When Madam Gao met Madam Leng, she might have cared about her status in the past, but this time she didn't care about anything except her daughter.

Madam Leng quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I know, I know. We didn't say we wouldn't help. Don't worry, Min'er will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gao turned to Madam Leng and said, "Madam means that you are willing to help."
