Xiao Chengyu and Gu Yunze, having promised Mrs. Lin to spare Lin Qingqing's life, naturally would not go back on their word.
Now, with Chang Tai's testimony, all the blame has essentially been placed on Xiao Fengxing.
However, Xiao Chengyu and Gu Yunze wouldn't let Lin Qingqing escape entirely unscathed either.
Lin Qingqing has never been innocent, just that her actions were not as numerous as Xiao Fengxing's.
Thus, when Chang Tai spoke, he also implicated Lin Qingqing.
But it only placed Lin Qingqing in a position of collaborating with Xiao Fengxing in wrongdoing, albeit to a lesser extent.
"Chang Tai!" Xiao Fengxing shouted in fury, "Why do you falsely accuse me?"
"I don't dare, my words are all the truth." Chang Tai avoided looking at Xiao Fengxing, and instead kowtowed to Lord Tao, "Please, my Lord, you must discern the truth!"
