Chapter 1152

Tang Jixin didn’t know when Baili Xia arrived, but she knew that she had been sleeping in her son’s room.

So, naturally, she assumed she slept in her son’s room last night.

Seeing Bei Tianyou’s face darken, Tang Jixin also knew she had said the wrong thing.

But, concerning her son’s safety, she could not let this matter slide.

“Drive her out; she’s not allowed to step into the Bei Family’s threshold ever again!” she pointed at Baili Xia.

Anyone who wants to get close to her son must be guarded against strictly!

“Mom…”

“What’s all this noise about?” Suddenly, a hoarse, elderly voice came from deep inside the hall.

An old woman, around seventy, trembled as she walked in with the help of a maid.

Her presence immediately made the entire hall’s atmosphere turn solemn.

One by one, everyone bowed their heads respectfully and greeted: “Old Madam.”

Even Tang Jixin, who was just indignantly angry, promptly bowed her head and greeted: “Mother.”

Bei Tianyou also looked at the Old Madam and respectfully called out: “Grandma.”

Baili Xia, however, looked past the Old Madam and toward Nangong Xu, who was behind her.

Nangong Xu shook his head, and Baili Xia had no choice but to bow her head and remain silent.

This Bei Family, indeed, is wealthy and populous.

It is said that Bei Tianyou’s father is but one of the Old Madam’s sons; of course, he is the eldest son.

Bei Tianyou is the eldest grandson, holding a not-so-low status in the Bei Family.

In an instant, Bei Tianyou had already walked next to Old Madam You Jing.

After exchanging a look with Nangong Xu, he helped Old Madam walk in front of everyone.

The servants immediately stepped aside to make way for the Old Madam.

Everyone stood quietly to the side, with their heads bowed and not saying a word.

The atmosphere was truly heavy.

Sure enough, the life of a wealthy family is not at all easy.

The Bei Family, compared to the Mu Family, is even more solemn.

“What exactly is going on? Such a fuss, when did our Bei Family become a marketplace?”

Speaking, the Old Madam’s strict gaze shot straight at Tang Jixin.

Tang Jixin’s head was lowered even more severely; once imposing and majestic, now she became a meek little sheep before the Old Madam.

“Mother, it’s my fault, I thought someone was after Tianyou, so I…”

“You imagine day in and day out that someone is out to get Tianyou, creating all kinds of confusion and chaos, disrupting the peace in our home!”

The Old Madam glared at her and snorted coldly.

Tang Jixin didn’t dare say more, only lowering her head.

“Grandma, my mother is just looking out for me. I apologize to you on her behalf,” Bei Tianyou immediately said softly.

The Old Madam’s gaze returned to her grandson.

When looking at her grandson, her eyes were much warmer than when she looked at her daughter-in-law.

“This woman, as the wife of the Bei Family, is always so improper.

Can we trust her with the keys to our house in the future?”

“Look at yourself, do you deserve the title of the Bei Family’s wife?

So impetuous in your actions, not even one-tenth as steady as Qingyue!”

However, for the sake of her grandson, the Old Madam just complained a few more words and did not continue to reprimand Tang Jixin.

Baili Xia didn’t know who the Qingyue mentioned by the Old Madam was, but the Bei Family members were all aware.

That was the Old Madam’s third daughter, Bei Qingyue.

But at least Baili Xia could guess, it must have something to do with the Bei Family.

To criticize her daughter-in-law in front of everyone like this, the Old Madam indeed didn’t show much respect for her.
