Emperor Sovereign Martial Soul

3Gu Siya left his seat and walked to the side of the higher ups of the Wu Mansion. Everyone followed her movements, and moved their gazes.    

    

"Everyone, you should have heard that my, Gu Siya's, daughter, was poisoned once half a month ago." Gu Siya suddenly stopped and said to them.    

    

With that said, Jiao Ruhua's face suddenly turned pale white.    

    

Sure enough, it was as she had guessed, Gu Siya wanted to uncover her secret, causing a tinge of panic to appear in his heart. Recalling that he had instructed his servants to detoxify the poison, it seemed like he did not remove all of his hands and feet.    

    

For some unknown reason, she had the urge to immediately escape from the hall.    

    

But the truth was that she could not leave at this moment. The more she did so, the more it manifested the guilt in her heart.    

    

He could only bite the bullet and try his best to keep his expression calm.    

    

However, that unsettled expression betrayed her unstable state of mind.    

    

Roar …    

    

Immediately, a wave of discussion floated up within the great hall, and Wu Hao sat beside the four elders, happily chatting and laughing.    

    

This was the first time he encountered these four people in his memories.    

    

It was said that they were the most senior members of the Wu Mansion, and rarely asked about the internal affairs of their families, but they held absolute authority, and everyone respected them.    

    

Thus, in Wu Hao's judgement, most of the time, they were the ones making statements, and from the beginning to the end, Wu Haoran had never said a few words.    

    

Wu Haoran had never retorted to their opinions, showing their status within the clan.    

    

Therefore, Wu Hao had to curry favor with them, and only then would he be able to stabilize his position in the Wu family.    

    

"We've heard a bit about it, Siya. Go on, could it be that there's another story behind that little girl, Paige, being poisoned?" Just then, the old lady spoke to Gu Siya once again.    

    

"That's right. It's not that my daughter was accidentally poisoned. Rather, someone deliberately poisoned her, and that person was …" An angry look immediately surfaced on Gu Siya's face as he replied her in such a manner. He then turned around and pointed at Jiao Ruhua, and said in a low voice: "It's her, Jiao Ruhua!"    

    

"What …"    

    

"Is that her?"    

    

Hearing that, everyone was startled, all of their gazes focused on Jiao Ruhua, and in the next moment they all revealed unfriendly expressions.    

    

Even when Wu Haoran heard this, a sharp look flashed past his eyes, and in the instant that he looked at his opponent, his opponent's face had already turned pale white, and his expression had started to become anxious.    

    

"You, you, you, you …" You slandered me! " Jiao Ruhua trembled as he yelled at Gu Siya.    

    

"Hmph, I'm slandering you. You think too highly of yourself. I'm the dignified young lady of the Gu family, how could I be reduced to slandering others as you wish?" Gu Siya snorted with a dark face.    

    

"Ru Hua, what's going on? Explain it to me!" Finally, Wu Haoran's face was still gloomy, and he opened his mouth to speak.    

    

Jiao Ruhua was his wife after all. Initially, he wasn't willing to ask, but the situation had far surpassed the bottom line that he could accept.    

    

Thus, he had no choice but to ask.    

    

"Husband, Gu Siya has slandered me. There's simply nothing wrong!" Jiao Ruhua suddenly stood up, and replied while trembling.    

    

Ye Zichen complained with a face full of tears.    

    

"Humph, slander, you keep slandering me, it seems like you won't die even if you can't reach the bottom of the Yellow River!" Gu Siya coldly snorted once more.    

    

"Someone, summon the witness!" Gu Siya suddenly turned around, and shouted towards the entrance of the hall.    

    

Immediately after, Skinny Monkey Xu Cai brought a servant who had a face full of fear in.    

    

"Third Wife, the witnesses have arrived. Please enlighten us!" Xu Cai threw the Wu family servants whose faces were filled with fear onto the ground, cupped his hands and bowed to them, and said respectfully.    

    

Jiao Ruhua looked at the person who walked over, his eyes immediately becoming dull, and his heart becoming even more flustered, his face turning ashen, without a trace of blood.    

    

When Wu Haoran saw that the Skinny Monkey Xu Cai had actually personally escorted someone over, his gaze immediately focused.    

    

"Xu Cai, what's going on? Why are you interfering in the internal affairs of the Wu Mansion?" A hint of sharpness flashed across his eyes as he asked in a low voice.    

    

Xu Cai cupped his hands again and bowed towards Wu Haoran, and replied: "Reporting to the City Lord, this is the order of the captain, Gao Fei, this subordinate is only following the orders!"    

    

"Is this Gao Fei's command?" Wu Haoran's gaze focused once again.    

    

"City Lord, this is indeed an order from my subordinate!" At this time, the hall's door suddenly opened, and a voice came out. It was the equally solemn and dignified Captain of Royal City Protectors, Gao Fei, who was walking in slowly.    

    

Wu Haoran did not say anything, his face darkened as he turned back to look at the pale Jiao Ruhua.    

    

Gao Fei slowly walked over, and in the end, he stood a few feet in front of Wu Haoran, looking at him and Jiao Ruhua.    

    

His expression was solemn, without a single trace of flattery.    

    

"City Lord, during the time of your pilgrimage, following your orders, this subordinate not only protected the order of Royal City, but also secretly protected the peace of Wu Mansion. But just half a month ago, a change happened in Wu Mansion. First, it was the young master's challenge to the second young master, then it was the poison from the noble daughter! "    

    

Gao Fei slowly explained, "The challenge between the eldest and second young masters did not have much of an impact. As the situation grew more and more intense, it was stopped by this subordinate. However, in the next few days, the precious daughter was poisoned. "    

    

"This poison is no small matter, it's called the Seven Day Soul-Breaking Poison, and it will kill anyone within seven days." This poison is no small matter, it is called the Seven Days Soul-Breaking Poison, and any person who is infected within seven days would die, so based on the suspicious nature of this poison, after Third Wife informed this subordinate about it, this subordinate will arrange for people to search for any suspicious clues. "    

    

"Sure enough, we found him with the help of the law enforcement team members of the Royal City!" As Gao Fei spoke, a sharp look flashed past his eyes as he lifted his hand to point at the Wu Mansion underlings who had fallen to the ground.    

    

"After a round of interrogation, your subordinate learned that the person who poisoned you …" After saying that, his voice suddenly stopped, but his gaze was fixated on Jiao Ruhua who had a pale white face.    

    

The meaning was self-evident. In that instant, everyone present completely understood what he meant.    

    

"Ru Hua, aren't you going to explain to your husband what's going on?" Wu Haoran's tone turned ice-cold, her pair of eyes felt as if they had been frozen by ice for ten thousand years.    

    

With just a glance, it caused Jiao Ruhua's entire body to tremble violently.    

    

In the hall, at this moment, it was like winter. Everyone could not help but shiver, as if the air itself was infected by something as cold as ice.    

    

The atmosphere instantly froze. Jiao Ruhua was speechless.    

    

"Fu …" Jun, I … "I …"    

    

"Father, let your son tell you what happened!" Just then, Wu Hao suddenly stood up from in front of the four old men and said to Wu Haoran.    

    

Swish!    

    

Countless gazes suddenly turned towards him, but his expression didn't change at all.    

    

"She …" Aunt Jiao Ruhua, because her son had suddenly lost his reputation as a piece of trash, and acted so arrogantly, she felt that her son had blocked his son, Big Brother Wu Yu, from entering the Tianwu Gate to cultivate, and secretly instructed Big Brother Wu Yu to issue a challenge, with the intent to completely destroy her son's The Foundation of Martial Arts in the clan competition grounds, to prevent future troubles! " Wu Hao slowly said.
