Ms. Pan was almost fainting, prison, or being caned? She couldn't accept either.
In contrast, Eldest Pan, with a sullen face and anger unable to release, respectfully asked Qi Lie, "May I ask, my Lord, if we're to replace imprisonment with caning or flogging, how many strokes would be required?"
Qi Lie remained expressionless, "For fornication, it's eighty strokes, the punishment is the same for both men and women."
That means not just Ms. Pan, but even the Pan Family's butler who was accused by Ms. Pan, would have to face the same punishment.
However, eighty... Ms. Pan, being a woman and already of age, for her, it's tantamount to a death sentence; she simply couldn't bear it.
Pan, in utter panic, grabbed Eldest Pan's arm, "Big brother, save me, save me, I don't want to go to prison or be caned, I will die."
