Shangguan Lie glanced at Shangguan Hao, who was kneeling on the floor and winking at him, before slowly backing away. After Shangguan Lie left, the gazes of the others in the main hall converged on him. These were all high-ranking members of the Shangguan Family, their authority built up over a long time. Under their watch, anyone would feel the pressure.
But Shangguan Hao still wore that same carefree smile, showing not a hint of nervousness. Just then, an Elder barked, "Shangguan Hao, this is the main hall. Wipe that look off your face."
Hearing this, Shangguan Hao finally reined in his expression and said to Shangguan Bei, "Father, the matter in Hai Kou was purely Third Brother's own foolishness. It had nothing to do with me."
"We didn't call you here to talk about what happened in Hai Kou."
Shangguan Bei said coolly, "Did you poison Li Jiancai?"
