Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

After Liao Kong finished speaking, he retreated to Ying Yu Fu's side, quiet and very well-behaved.

Emperor Cangxuan glanced at him and remembered the child.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for saving Grand Tutor Hai's life. Afterwards, the host will receive a Star Fruit, which can ensure Grand Tutor Hai's continued life for another twenty years, adding a pillar to the fate of the Northern Xuan Kingdom. The system rewards you with 1000 points, and your current balance is 7190 points!]

[Alright, once Grand Tutor Hai wakes up, I will give him a Star Fruit.]

Ying Yufu responded to the system.

The Crown Prince's eyes flickered slightly. He couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Ying Yufu, but then quickly looked away, afraid that she would notice.

Emperor Cangxuan noticed his subtle movements and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. The Crown Prince was too weak, not even a tenth of his composure back then.

"Father, the person who cast the curse has been giving Grandfather the antidote every month for so many years, but this month they didn't. Is it because they want Grandfather dead? Is this intentional?"

Hai Mujin's eyes were red and her face was full of anger as she spoke out what everyone had been thinking.

"Brother, the person who cast the curse must be someone close to us. Otherwise, Father would have been completely unaware that he was taking the antidote every month for over ten years. No one else could have done that except someone close to him."

Hai Qiongying's face was filled with pain.

Hai Qiongyan had a vague guess in his eyes. He looked at Emperor Cangxuan and knelt down. "Your Majesty, I have failed to manage my household properly and have disturbed Your Majesty. This is truly my fault. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Emperor Cangxuan helped him up. "Brother-in-law, please don't stand on ceremony. Today, I will participate in this family matter as the son-in-law of the Hai family."

"If my brother-in-law has any suspicions, he may question me directly. Today, I will see who dares to poison my father-in-law with such vicious means."

The Hai family members were deeply moved and knelt down to express their gratitude.

Hai Qiongyan kowtowed deeply, stood up, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.

"Second brother, send men to seal off the mansion gates; no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Okay." Hai Qiongying immediately turned and left.

Outside the door, Old Duan, Granny Wang, and the others saw Hai Qiongying come out in a menacing manner, and a glimmer of hope appeared on their terrified faces.

"Hai Qiongying, has His Majesty told us to get up?" She tugged at Hai Qiongying's hem.

Hai Qiongying stopped in her tracks, looked down at her coldly, and said, "Never."

After saying that, he pulled off the hem of his coat and strode away.

The Thousand Feather Army quickly surrounded the Hai family, ensuring that not even a mosquito could escape.

At that moment, a father and son were stopped by the Thousand Feather Army.

"Who are you people, and what are you doing out so late at night?"

Zhao Daxing and his son Zhao Chengwang were already feeling guilty and their faces were filled with fear. Their knees buckled and they knelt down.

The father and son were escorted to the main hall.

The Azure Emperor's dragon aura was overwhelming. He sat on the head seat, and the father and son only glanced at him briefly before daring not to look up again.

The Crown Prince and Ying Yufu stood on the side of Emperor Cangxuan. At this moment, the system's voice sounded in Ying Yufu's mind again.

[Ding! Face-slapping mechanism triggered. Host, please stop Granny Fang from committing suicide!]

Although Ying Yufu did not know who Fang Mama was, she guessed that Fang Mama was probably one of the key figures who had poisoned Hai Taifu.

She didn't want to directly ask the Hai family's Granny Fang who she was, so she asked tactfully, "Your Highness, if the murderer knew that something had happened here, do you think he would try to escape or commit suicide to avoid punishment?"

The crown prince nodded immediately, "Definitely."

After saying that, he said with a serious expression, "Uncle, go find Granny Fang quickly. She is the most trusted servant of Grandpa. She might commit suicide to escape punishment."

Hai Qiongyan's expression changed immediately. In fact, when he captured Zhao Daxing and his son, he had already guessed what Granny Fang would do.

His expression immediately changed after the Crown Prince's reminder.

"Quickly, someone, go and arrest Granny Fang. Don't let her die."

The Hai family's guards immediately rushed towards Granny Fang's residence.

The father and son, Zhao Daxing, who were being held down on the ground, were terrified and trembling with fear.

Hai Qiongyan stared coldly at the two men and shouted angrily, "Zhao Daxing, Zhao Chengwang, why did you two leave the manor just now? You were acting suspiciously, carrying valuables and silver; were you trying to flee from justice?"

Zhao Daxing and Zhao Chengwang trembled with fear. Zhao Daxing's teeth chattered, and he stammered:

"Sir, we...we are innocent..."

"As servants, is it a crime to intend to escape? Moreover, why are you escaping? Tell me the reason honestly!"

Zhao Daxing broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes wide as he racked his brains for an explanation.

Zhao Chengwang, standing to the side, was already too frightened to remain calm. He said, "Sir, we're not servants anymore! We're free!"

As he spoke, he took out the official document terminating the indenture.

Hai Qiongyan's eyes darkened. She stepped forward, took the document, and examined it. It was indeed an official document from the government.

His face instantly turned ashen. "Who processed this document for you?"

He already guessed who it was, but he still wanted to hear the Hai family father and son say it themselves.

Then Zhao Chengwang said tremblingly, "My grandmother said that it was... it was the old lady who helped us with it."

Grandmother said that the old lady was kind and had set our whole family free. We were no longer servants born into the household, and from now on, we could leave the mansion with our documents and no longer have to serve anyone.

Zhao Daxing glanced at his son; he was still too young and couldn't handle things.

However, Zhao Daxing didn't say anything. He knew that even if he didn't say it now, he would have to say it sooner or later.

"The Duan family!"

Hai Qiongyan gritted her teeth.

Beside him, Emperor Cangxuan's face was equally gloomy.

On the other side, Granny Fang sat in the room with a cup of poisoned tea on the table in front of her. She was stroking a gold hairpin in her hand, and turbid tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry, Miss. I've failed your trust. I'll go down and apologize to you right away..."

She carefully inserted the gold hairpin into her hair bun, then shifted her gaze to the cup of poisoned tea on the table.

She reached out shakily, her fingertips just about to touch the cup, when the door to the room was slammed open.

Several guards rushed in, and in her surprise, Granny Fang knocked over the poisoned tea on the table. The tea spilled down the edge of the table and dripped onto the floor, emitting a hissing white smoke.

The guards' expressions changed, and they immediately stepped forward to restrain Granny Fang and head to the main hall.

Granny Fang panicked. She was speechless in front of the Hai family. She did not struggle, but her eyes hardened, as if she wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

The guards, having anticipated her reaction, dislocated her jaw.

"Granny Fang, Zhao Daxing and Zhao Chengwang have been arrested. Do you still want to protect your master?"

A guard sneered.

Granny Fang's eyes widened, and she instantly lost control of her expression.

"Daxing and Chengwang have been arrested?" Her eyes instantly filled with despair.

Granny Fang was quickly escorted to the main hall. Upon seeing the father and son kneeling on the ground, she instantly burst into tears and knelt down with a thud.

The guard stepped forward and put her chin back in place. Granny Fang, tears streaming down her face, knelt deeply on the ground, not daring to raise her head. "Master, Second Master, this old servant is guilty!"
