Chapter 1154

Bei Qingyou, had already died more than a decade ago, dying without a single person by her side.

That favorite youngest daughter of the Old Madam, the little young miss of the Bei Family, was once so radiant.

Regrettably, she was a beauty doomed to die young, and no one knew what disease she had contracted.

She passed away at a tender age.

The Old Madam’s eyes reddened, but no one around her dared to speak.

In the end, it was Baili Xia who softly said, “Old Madam, standing for too long is tiring, why not sit down and rest a while?”

She added, “Would that be alright?”

It was clear that the Old Madam was someone who had held power for many years, and it was uncertain whether such a person could accept others’ opinions.

Thus, she added “Would that be alright?” to return the decision-making power to her.

“Alright.” The Old Madam was, after all, someone who had experienced much hardship.

She had briefly lost control of her emotions, but in the blink of an eye, had regained composure.

Turning her head to look back at Tang Jixin, her expression remained stern, “Once over the threshold, you are a guest.

If you can’t even learn how to treat guests properly, what can you do?”

“Yes, yes, I have not done well.

I will not dare to do so again, mother.”

Tang Jixin apologized repeatedly, yet she still held on to her own son, refusing to let go no matter what.

Bei Tianyou, helpless, could only look at the Old Madam and say, “Mother is feeling a little unwell today, Grandma, I’ll take her back to her room to rest.”

“Go on.” The Old Madam did not wish to keep everyone stuck here, causing embarrassment in public.

However, her gaze softened a few shades when she looked at Baili Xia.

She even took Baili Xia’s hand, and a smile began to form in her eyes.

“You are young, yet already a student of Mr.

Nangong.

It seems your medical skills are quite extraordinary.”

“Where?

I only understand the bare basics.” Baili Xia immediately responded.

“The young lady’s complexion doesn’t look very good. Are you not accustomed to Bei Miao here? Come on, let us sit down and rest a bit.”

As the group walked farther away, Baili Xia could not help but turn back to glance at Bei Tianyou.

Bei Tianyou slightly nodded, indicating for her to be at ease, and only then did she feel at ease to walk with the Old Madam and Nangong Xu towards the living room sofa.

Tang Jixin had been silent the entire time, only tightly gripping her son’s hand.

Once they had gone far enough, Bei Tianyou turned to her and said, “Mother, I’ll take you back to rest.”

“Alright.” Tang Jixin took his hand and they headed upstairs.

The Bei Family’s main hall was very spacious, a traditional grand mansion.

The second floor was divided into three sections: east, south, and west.

Bei Tianyou’s parents and sister lived on the west side, the Old Madam’s third daughter Bei Qingyue and granddaughter Nangong Yun lived on the south side.

Bei Tianyou alone lived in the eastern section, which clearly showed how high his status was within the Bei Family.

However, as Bei Tianyou’s mother, Tang Jixin’s status in the Bei Family was evidently quite low.

Especially in front of the Old Madam, Tang Jixin was almost like a lowly servant.

At this moment, Tang Jixin returned to her room with Bei Tianyou’s company.

As soon as they got to the room, Tang Jixin immediately shut the door and even locked it completely from the inside.

“Mother, what are you doing?” Bei Tianyou’s expression slightly darkened as he watched her actions.

“Don’t be fooled by those women, they are all bad people.”

Tang Jixin took him by the hand to the tea table and sat down, carefully examining his face.

After seeing that there was nothing amiss with his expression, she let out a sigh of relief.

“Mother has always told you, all women outside are bad people, why don’t you listen?

You even kept a woman in your room overnight!”

However, Bei Tianyou interrupted, “Mother, Xiaxia is not a bad person, as you’ve heard just now, she is Mr.

Nangong’s cousin.”
