Chapter 1222

Withdrawing his large hand back, Dongfang Jin looked at her tightly closed eyes, his voice becoming gentler.

“Regarding this matter, I am telling you what I know, only hoping that you can be more cautious.”

“Mu Xiaojiu as a person, although not exactly noble and upright, he isn’t a despicable person either; at least I can assure you of that.”

“Then do you think I should continue to obediently stay by his side?” Baili Xia asked somewhat confusedly.

She knew what kind of person Uncle was, but sometimes, there aren’t just despicable and upright people; there’s a third kind too.

There are others who live in a grey area, they may have good hearts, but they must do things that go against their conscience.

The life of Uncle might also be shrouded in such a grey fog, but what else could she do?

Are they now standing in opposing positions?

With relationships unclear, what more could be done?

“If it were me, I would of course leave him, after all, I hold no feelings for him.”

Therefore, the question Baili Xia asked was also redundant; different feelings make for different choices.

“You mentioned last time, that you would investigate the matter regarding Bei Miao for me, any progress?” Baili Xia suddenly brought up another topic.

Dongfang Jin knew she no longer wanted to continue discussing the issue between her and Mu Xiaojiu.

Although this girl is young and appears frail, her heart is very strong.

If she doesn’t want to speak, there’s no use for Dongfang Jin to continue, moreover, he himself doesn’t even know how to advise her.

“I’ve looked into it.” This was also what he wanted to discuss today, he patted her head and his expression became more serious.

“Before I explain, I must tell you that everything said today is only speculation; there’s no evidence. However, you will need to find the evidence yourself, but I believe, if you are determined, you will definitely find it.”

Baili Xia nodded, sat up straight, and looked at him expectantly.

Dongfang Jin withdrew his large hand that had been pressed down by hers and calmly articulated the facts he knew.

Lord Bei of the Miao Domain had six children in total; his eldest son is the father of Mr.

Bei Tianyou.

The second, fourth, and fifth sons moved out of the Bei Family home some years ago.

Though they work in the Miao Domain, their relationship with Lord Bei doesn’t seem very close.

Other than the eldest son, the person closest to Lord Bei is his third daughter, Bei Qingyue.

Of course, there is another daughter, but this daughter died very early on.

That is Lord Bei’s sixth daughter, Bei Qingyou.

Today, Dongfang Jin specifically wanted to talk to Baili Xia about Bei Qingyou.

He found some information; over twenty years ago, Bei Qingyou had run away from home for a while.

Nobody knew where she went, nor did anyone know what exactly happened during those two years she was away.

Later, she returned home to the Bei family and lived there for a year before she died mysteriously.

Some say she died of illness, others say it was an accidental death; there are various stories.

The Bei family kept all information tightly sealed, making it almost impossible for outsiders to obtain any substantial information.

However, when Dongfang Jin mentioned the name “Bei Qingyou,” Baili Xia remembered the words she had heard at the Bei family before.

At that time, she was massaging acupoints for Madame Bei Tang Jixin, who had fallen asleep and muttered in her slumber.

“Qingyou, run, Qingyou…”

Could the Qingyou mentioned by Madame Bei be the same Bei Qingyou?
