Wu Hao felt that he had completely lost face for the Venerable Emperor in his previous life. No matter how down and out he had been in his previous life, he had never been down and out until now.

He hurriedly walked back, and thought to himself, If only I had a storage ring or a storage bag, then it would be good. This way, I could normally store some clothes and change them once they are broken.

Seeing the Wu family guards standing on both sides of the gate from afar, a thought suddenly flashed across his mind.

"Jiao Ruhua, you are a cruel and merciless person. You actually dared to hire a killer to assassinate me, it seems like I am truly sorry that I did not do something for you!"

With that thought, he swaggered towards the main entrance of the Wu manor. He did it on purpose, just to let Jiao Ruhua know that she had returned.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen my newest attire, young master …"

Pfft!

After he left, the two guards standing at the door were finally unable to hold back their laughter and covered their mouths as they laughed out loud.

"Could it be that this Second Young Master fell into a fire pit after not seeing him for two days?" The two of them looked at each other, and one of them could not help but laugh.

"Haha, I guess so. Didn't you see that his clothes were tattered just now? There's even a piece of beast skin wrapped underneath it!"

The two suddenly burst into laughter.

Wu Hao instantly became the focus of their conversation.

He who had walked far away did not care about their unbridled laughter. In fact, this was exactly what he wanted.

With the two guards' eyes, the news of his return quickly spread and reached Jiao Ruhua's ears.

With regards to him returning from the outside with no regard for his image, was Jiao Ruhua's expression going to be interesting?

From the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to see Wu Hao's expression, but he might not be able to do so.

However, the current Jiao Ruhua was in a state of panic.

Wu Yu suddenly vomited blood and fainted, which caused his to feel as though a huge boulder had fallen into a lake, causing terrifying ripples.

His face had already turned completely pale at that moment.

When she had framed others, she had never considered the feelings of others. Now that she had experienced it herself, the taste was simply unacceptable to her.

This was the result of the wicked getting their revenge. In the end, the insidious person in their heart did not have a good ending, and they still had to pay back the sins they committed.

This was the result of her ordering her people to poison Wu Peiqi. Gu Siya had started to take revenge on them and had let her personally experience the pain of her son's death.

"Yu Er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare mother!" She knelt on the ground beside the bed, stretched out her hands to shake the unconscious Wu Yu, and cried out.

In that instant, a trace of schadenfreude flashed across the maidservants' faces.

Although they usually had no choice but to lower their heads under the eaves and didn't dare to disobey her at all, when faced with her angry shouts and curses again and again, the truth was that their hearts were already filled with resentment.

"Retribution!"

"This wicked woman's retribution has finally arrived. Indeed, people are looking at it from the heavens. It's not that they don't want to report it, it's that the time has not come yet." This was what they were thinking in their hearts.

"Eldest Miss, can you let this subordinate have a look?" The setting sun behind him frowned as it spoke.

Faintly, he felt that something was wrong.

According to common sense, Wu Yu had already taken the cold medicinal soup while he was unconscious. The domineering inner strength within his meridians had already been suppressed by the medicinal power, so it was absolutely impossible for him to vomit blood.

Right now, its entire body was a deep red, and there was even a hint of purple. It was obviously caused by the blood that had been washed out from its entire body, and the blood clots it had condensed.

This did not make sense at all.

"Quick... Sunset, let me see what happened to Yu Er! " After Jiao Ruhua heard this, she turned around and without caring about her image, she kneeled down and begged.

"First Miss, please stand up. I will do my best to check." Looking at her appearance, there were still many servants watching behind her. He could not help but frown as he reminded her.

With that said, Jiao Ruhua came back to her senses, and her disgraceful appearance had been witnessed by so many servants.

He quickly stood up and at the same time, his expression darkened. He turned around and shouted angrily at the servants: "You all can't take care of a single person, if I, Yu Er, do anything, I will interrogate you all, get the hell out of here!"

When the four maids heard this, their expressions changed drastically. They didn't dare to retort and hastily bowed before retreating. However, a trace of ridicule flashed in the depths of their eyes the moment they turned around.

It seemed like even if his son died, he wouldn't have the slightest awareness of it. He would only place all the responsibility on others and would never judge things from his point of view.

Jiao Ruhua, at this time, did not know that even her servants had a chill in their hearts because of her.

It had to be said that this was her greatest sorrow as a noble Lady Wu.

The sunset did not speak anymore and quickly walked forward. He took a look at Wu Yu's pulse and rolled his eyes.

He realised that Wu Yu's pulse was in a mess, his eyes were filled with blood threads, looking gloomy and lifeless.

He was poisoned!

This was the conclusion he immediately came to.

Her expression immediately became heavy, and she slowly turned her head, frowning as she stared at Jiao Ruhua who was watching her nervously, and said: "Young miss, Eldest Young Master, he … He was poisoned! "

"What? What did you say?" After Jiao Ruhua heard this, he immediately asked excitedly.

"The young master was poisoned. He was infected with a poison called the 'Blood Coagulation Pill', which caused all the blood in his body to congeal rapidly!"

Jiao Ruhua's expression immediately froze, as she mumbled to herself with a dull face: "Yu Er, he's perfectly fine, how did he get poisoned..."

Wu manor.

pushed the door and entered the Second Young Master's courtyard.

The wooden door creaked, just in time to alarm Mu Qian and Xiao Cui who were busy pruning flowers in the courtyard.

When the two of them saw Wu Hao's sharp appearance, their expressions immediately changed. Their jaws dropped and an expression of disbelief emerged.

After a moment, Xiao Cui screamed and ran over to him.

"Young Master, what happened to you?"

She flew in front of Wu Hao and asked him anxiously.

A look of awkwardness flashed across Wu Hao's face as he handed the jade case that was already burnt black to a crisp to her. At the same time, he replied her: "Something went wrong."

After pausing for a moment, he instructed her again: "Xiao Cui, go and boil a pot of hot water for me immediately, I will take a bath. Also, with the spirit medicine in the jade box, make Dryopterygium boil a bowl of medicine.

Wu Hao quickly gave him some instructions, then quickly went back to his room to change his clothes. Only Xiao Cui and Mu Qian looked at each other, looking confused.

In the time it took to make a cup of tea.

Wu Hao had already changed his clothes and combed his unkempt hair. He stayed in the room waiting for Xiao Cui to fill the bathtub.

Just that, after Xiao Cui finished filling the bath, he did not go out but stood in his room with a bashful expression. Her face was slightly flushed, and she looked like she wanted to say something but stopped in her tracks.

Wu Hao looked at her suspiciously, and asked: "Xiao Cui, do you have something to say?

With that said, Xiao Cui's face immediately flushed all the way down to her neck, making her look even more delicate.

After hesitating for a while, she looked at him. Her hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes as she weakly said to him, "Young Master, your body is dirty. Let this servant bathe you!"

However, it was quickly relieved.

Serving the master to bathe and bathe was actually all part of the servant girl's duty. Some servants even needed the master to warm the brick bed first when the weather was cold.

This was a common occurrence, and he, who had lived for more than ten thousand years, had long since become accustomed to it.

It was just that, in the past, Wu Hao was very down on his luck and had never asked his servants to do anything beyond what they ought to do. As a result, this was the first time Xiao Cui had offered to help him bathe.

The atmosphere was a little weird, as though the atmosphere had frozen for a moment. It was hard for her to speak up for Xiao Cui, as the words that she had mustered up her courage to say were not simple at all.

Although this was an imperial court and the status of a maid was very low, even if she was low, she still had the dignity of a person.

If Wu Hao had rejected her at this moment, not only would she not be happy, she would instead be terrified.

Wu Hao smiled at her, and replied: "Sure! Then today, young master will be bathed by you, oh … "No, I'll have you wait on me in the future!"

When he said these words, Xiao Cui's eyes lit up, and a look of pleasant surprise surfaced on his face, while Wu Hao directly extended his hands for her to help undress.

In the courtyard kitchen, Mu Qian held a palm-leaf fan in his hands, and was fanning the fire with it. A small cluster of flame was burning intensely, and a clay pot of earth colored soup was emitting a small amount of white mist.

He turned his head to look at the side room where Wu Hao was, a smile plastered across his face, and muttered to himself: "That's how you look like the young master of the Wu family!"

What Wu Hao did not know was that this unintentionally caused his old servant's opinion to greatly change.

In the past, his conduct and actions didn't resemble those of a young master at all. Perhaps it was because his reputation as a trash was crowned by his head for too long, but he had a sense of inferiority.

But now it was different. His young master was no longer a trash and had already become a martial artist. His future prospects were limitless. Therefore, as the young master of the Wu family, he had to start from a small matter and act as his young master should.

He had already secretly made up his mind that from today onwards, he would give his all to help Wu Hao recover his pride. He would regain his rightful position in the Wu family and redeem the lost dignity of being trampled on a few times in the past.
