Chapter 1223

“What? You have been to the Bei Family before, have you also heard some things?” Seeing her uneasy expression, Dongfang Jin immediately asked.

Baili Xia nodded her head, then shook it, looking puzzled: “It’s just… I seem to have heard the words ‘Qingyou’.”

“Could it be a misunderstanding?” Dongfang Jin frowned, suspicious about this point.

“It is said that the Old Madam is very taboo about the matter concerning her sixth daughter and does not allow anyone to mention it.

It’s impossible for the Bei Family’s people to bring up this name.”

Baili Xia looked up at him, her voice muffled: “What if… someone mentioned it unintentionally when they were not in their right mind?”

Dongfang Jin looked at her, and Baili Xia also met his gaze, but it was Baili Xia who spoke first in the end.

“You mentioned so much about Bei Qingyou; do you think my origin is related to Bei Qingyou?”

“It’s just a suspicion, the timing of Bei Qingyou’s departure from home matches the day of your birth…”

He gazed at Baili Xia, and such a look made her heart slightly uncomfortable.

Suddenly, she clenched her palm tightly, and her eyes widened: “Do you suspect Bei Qingyou is my biological mother?”

Dongfang Jin moved his lips but did not continue.

As he said, it was all just suspicion.

He said, “However, I think we still have a way to first prove whether or not you are a child of the Bei Family.”

“Do you want me to undergo a paternity test with Lord Bei or the Old Madam?”

Baili Xia bit her lip, knowing she should have somehow gotten closer to the Old Madam while in Bei Miao and taken some of her items to test with her own.

No matter whose child she is, at least to first know whether she is a granddaughter or perhaps a step-granddaughter of the Bei Family.

However, she looked at Dongfang Jin again and still had some doubts.

“Simply because my blood has the ability to detoxify, can it be concluded that I am a child of the Bei Family?

Bei Miao is so large, isn’t it possible that other people’s blood also has this ability?”

“That’s certainly possible, as you said, Bei Miao is vast, and it contains all sorts of miraculous people, only that those people are not famous, whereas the Bei Family is.”

Baili Xia exhaled a sigh, feeling inexplicably relieved by Dongfang Jin’s words.

That is to say, she might not necessarily be a child of the Bei Family, given how vast Bei Miao is, it is not possible that only the blood of the Bei Family could be used to save people.

The Bei Family also has ancestors, and their ancestors couldn’t possibly have only left this line of descendants.

“So, I still need to make a trip to Bei Miao, at least to get tested?”

Her eyes flickered, feeling somewhat excited inside; after all, it seemed she was one step closer to unveiling the secret of her identity.

But still, there was a bit of fear of thinking about it, afraid that it would all be for naught in the end.

If Bei Qingyou really had any relation to her, or to say that she really was her mother, then…

“Qingyou, run quickly, they will kill you, run quickly…”

Those words from Madame Bei lingered in her mind.

If her words were true, or if she unconsciously recalled something that happened in her dreams, then, it’s very likely that Bei Qingyou was harmed by someone.

Her mother, could she really be the ‘Qingyou’ referred to by Madame Bei?

Bei Qingyou… how exactly did she die?

Her mind was in turmoil, completely unsure how to process everything.

Even without knowing exactly what relationship she had with Bei Qingyou, merely guessing that she was murdered painfully wrenched her heart.
