Under the crowd's watchful eyes, Gu Ruoyun slowly crouched down. She pinched Xia Ying's jaw with one hand and stuffed the pill into his mouth. She then rose to her feet and swept her calm gaze across the faces of the crowd.
"As for the truth, let him tell you himself."
Hearing this, the crowd was shocked and stared at Gu Ruoyun in confusion.
What does she mean by that? Could it be that she can actually cure Xia Ying's poison?
The crowd burst into laughter at the thought of this. How is that possible? Xia Ying has now been poisoned with a fatal poison. Even if God Daluo were to come, he would not be able to cure him...
Just based on Gu Ruoyun alone, could she?
"Big brother!"
Suddenly, Xia Yu's voice rang out. Just as the crowd turned to look, they saw Xia Ying spitting out dark blood from his mouth. His originally green face had now turned pale.
"What have you done to my big brother now?"
Xia Yu quickly rushed to Xia Ying's side and glared angrily at Gu Ruoyun as she questioned her loudly.
However, at that moment, a weak voice rang out next to Xia Yu. That voice was directed at Gu Ruoyun.
"I'm sorry..."
Even though he had been poisoned so deeply that he could not even speak, he was still aware of everything that had happened outside. When he thought of his actions from the beginning, he felt so ashamed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall and die.
He never thought that the other party would disregard their past enmity and save him.
"Big... Big brother."
Xia Yu was shaken and turned around in disbelief. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Xia Ying who had just opened his eyes. She was so emotional that her voice trembled, "Big brother, are you alright?"
Xia Ying did not speak. His eyes were filled with guilt as he rose to his feet in front of the crowd and bowed deeply towards Gu Ruoyun.
"Lady Gu, I'm very grateful that you had disregarded our past enmity and saved me. I know that I had been used. In order to prevent myself from being chased out of the Xia Family home, I had no choice but to provoke you so that you would attack me! However, I never thought that he would use me to kill me and frame you. From the moment I had been poisoned, I had regretted it. "
Xia Ying lowered his head in shame. Two hours ago, the Second Master's men had come looking for him. If he did not agree to the Second Master's request, the Second Master would remove him and his sister from the Xia Family home. He knew that the Second Master had the right to do so! He was just a collateral relative. Although he was appreciated for his talent, he still disobeyed the Second Master's orders.
It would be fine if he was expelled, but if he dragged his sister down, her life would be ruined.
He had no choice but to do something against his will.
"Brother?" Xia Yu was in a daze. Her gaze swept across Xia Ying's face before stopping on Gu Ruoyun's calm face. "Was this woman not the one who poisoned you?"
She was the only one who had approached her brother just now.
Xia Yu's words were also what the others wanted to know. However, from what Xia Ying had said, it seemed that this matter really had nothing to do with Gu Ruoyun. They had wrongly accused her.
"Xia Ying, tell me everything you know."
Master Xia's face sank. His voice was cold and dignified as he spoke, "To think that someone would kill a fellow clansman in my territory and wrongly accuse an esteemed guest of the Xia Family home! This Patriarch will definitely not forgive him so easily! Furthermore, you have been bewitched into committing such an act that goes against your conscience. You should be severely punished. If you tell me who is behind this, I will deal with you with a lighter sentence! "
