"Please make the decision, Master!"
The entire courtyard was densely packed with people who had fallen to their knees. Elder Huiyi was deeply grieved. If the Master were to insist on his own way, he was afraid that the Xia Family would be thrown into turmoil. This kind of turmoil was not something that the Xia Family could withstand.
Master Xia's expression darkened. Forget about Lord Lingxiao's words, even if he did not have Lord Lingxiao's relationship with him, he would never punish Gu Ruoyun for the sake of curing Xia Zixi's illness.
Furthermore, Master Xia believed that Gu Ruoyun would never do such a thing.
"Father!"
Seeing that Master Xia's expression was turning increasingly ugly, Xia Qi, who was standing next to him, hurriedly spoke in a gentle voice, "I also believe that Lady Gu is not an unpardonably evil person. However, many people have witnessed this incident. If we do not clear her name of injustice, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. So, I have a suggestion. Why don't we first hand Lady Gu over to the Penal Court and release her once we have ascertained that she was not the culprit?"
Xia Qi's words were very convincing. He stood on his father's side and did not believe that Gu Ruoyun had poisoned Xia Ying. However, with so many people pointing fingers at her, if he were to be overly biased, the Xia Family would be bitterly disappointed. Hence, he decided to lock her up in the Penal Court and make a decision later.
However, once she enters the Penal Court, he would have many ways to kill her without knowing the reason behind her death. In the end, he would say that she had committed suicide to escape punishment.
No one would ever suspect him!
"No!" Master Xia rejected Xia Qi's suggestion without a second thought. He glared at him impatiently and spoke in a cold and stern voice, "You don't need to worry about this. Since when did you have the right to interfere in the Xia Family's criminal affairs? You only need to take care of yourself. "
Xia Qi's body trembled and his hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists. He took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart and maintained the gentle smile on his face.
"Father, I only wanted to share your burdens. Since you are unwilling, I won't say another word. However, if this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid that the Xia Family will not be happy."
While no one was paying attention to him, Xia Qi's lips curled into a cold smile. However, it quickly disappeared and he returned to his gentle and refined self.
This Xia Qi and Dongfang Shaoze were the same type of people. However, Dongfang Shaoze was warm to the core, while Xia Qi's body was cold and gloomy. Underneath that gentle appearance, there was a viciousness that no one could detect.
"I only have one thing to say," Gu Ruoyun glanced at Xia Qi before turning away and smiling calmly, "Xia Ying has indeed been poisoned and he doesn't have much time left. I'm the only one here who can cure him of the poison. If you continue to drag this out, when the time comes, he won't be able to make a comeback. Don't say that I didn't help him on purpose."
"You're saying that you can cure Xia Ying Xia Ying?" Master Xia Xia Xia asked. "
"I can only say that I'll give it a try." Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders and smiled gently, "Don't you want to know who poisoned him? When he wakes up, you can ask him yourself. I think he knows better than anyone else in his heart. "
"Haha!"
Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter. A disciple of the Xia family stared at Gu Ruoyun in disdain and said, "Gu Ruoyun, we saw you do it with our own eyes. How could it be fake? I don't think you want to save Xia Ying, you want him to die faster! Patriarch, you can't trust this woman! "
After the disciple had spoken, Gu Ruoyun calmly glanced at him, "Don't end up like Xia Ying, being used by others and dying without even knowing what had happened."
