“Whether or not it was done by someone from the Bei Family, at least the information was leaked from the Bei Family.”

Bei Tianyou stared at Nangong Xu, the latter’s face still showing no expression.

Calm and serene, merely stating facts, without intending to get involved.

He was relieved, and said blandly, “I’ve had many spies in this courtyard for a long time, I just never paid attention before.”

Seeing Bei Tianyou still acting nonchalant, Baili Xia stiffened, “Could it be that you always knew?”

Nangong Xu also looked at Bei Tianyou, but wasn’t as curious as Baili Xia.

Bei Tianyou caught Nangong Xu’s gaze, and slowly said, “It’s happened many times already, but I couldn’t find any evidence.”

He glanced at Baili Xia, his voice softening, “This time, it implicated Xiaxia, I’m very sorry.”

“Brother You, is someone really always against you?”

Baili Xia’s heart leapt to her throat, unable to believe it.

It turned out that someone from the Bei Family was secretly harming Bei Tianyou, and not just once.

Someone wants to harm him, she was aware, but to do it so openly was truly beyond her imagination.

Does Bei Tianyou even know who is doing him harm?

But after all, this is a matter of the Bei Family, she has no right to ask, and even if she did, Bei Tianyou might not tell her.

Bei Tianyou nodded, not seeming to take it seriously, “Don’t worry, they can’t hurt me, I’ll be more careful in the future.”

This time was an accident, there won’t be another.

“What you have isn’t illness, but poison, because you were poisoned when you were a child.”

Nangong Xu interjected suddenly, saying it so plainly for the first time.

Seeing Bei Tianyou’s face change slightly, Nangong Xu continued, “Judging by this, the person harming you has been plotting for a long time.”

Bei Tianyou did not respond; how could he not know his illness was caused by poisoning?

Nangong Xu is now his attending physician; he could not possibly not be aware.

Everyone was implicitly aware of the matter, but it had never been plainly spoken.

Now Nangong Xu says it out loud, and in front of Baili Xia, what is he trying to imply?

Baili Xia knows at least a bit about Bei Tianyou’s situation, but faced with it now, she feels somewhat uneasy.

Nevertheless, she clearly saw the fleeting darkness in Bei Tianyou’s eyes earlier.

He is still deeply troubled by this matter.

Since he was a child, he has been targeted.

Thinking about it in such a way, how could one not feel coldness?

“Brother You, do you know, who really wants to harm you?” Baili Xia asked urgently.

Seeing Bei Tianyou seemingly lost in thought, not speaking, she couldn’t help but say, “If you don’t find the culprit soon, I’m afraid you’ll follow in Aunt You’s footsteps.”

Hearing her mention Aunt You again, Bei Tianyou turned his head to look at Baili Xia, a trace of displeasure climbing onto his face.

“I told you, don’t mention Aunt Qingyou again!”

His sharp gaze swept across her face, his eyes narrowing, “You bring her up repeatedly; what exactly is your relationship with her?”

Baili Xia’s heart skipped a beat, she remembered what Brother had told her, not to reveal this identity unless absolutely necessary.

In a moment of haste, she ignored Brother’s words and mentioned Bei Qingyou to Bei Tianyou.

She was truly concerned, after all, Bei Tianyou is her cousin, her family!

She was already certain, Bei Qingyou must have been killed by someone, and now, her biggest fear is that her cousin will follow the same fate.
