Chapter 1373

Baili Xia heard this and without a moment’s hesitation immediately stepped forward and sat down beside the Old Madam.

The Old Madam reached out and grasped one of Baili Xia’s hands, gently patting it.

“You are Mr. Nangong’s disciple, aren’t you?”

Baili Xia nodded.

“I never expected Mr. Nangong’s disciple to be so outstanding. Meeting you is Brother You’s good fortune.”

The Old Madam spoke as if she were a kind grandmother speaking to her granddaughter.

Ever since Lord Mu disowned her, Baili Xia hadn’t felt this kind of affection for a long time.

For a moment, Baili Xia was somewhat entranced.

Until that familiar voice beside her rang out again: “Why not have her stay here, what do you say?

Grandma.”

Baili Xia immediately straightened up, her eyes wide as she looked at Bei Tianyou: “Brother You, can you stop joking?”

Bei Tianyou only curved his lips slightly, without responding.

This kind of reaction made it hard to guess if he was serious or joking.

But, did his lips really curve?

Baili Xia suspected she was seeing things, as she couldn’t recall ever seeing Bei Tianyou smile.

But just now…

he really seemed to be smiling!

The Old Madam didn’t react, and neither did anyone else…

Baili Xia felt a little disappointed, perhaps she really was mistaken.

The Old Madam apparently took Bei Tianyou’s words seriously; she smiled and immediately instructed the servants behind her.

“Go, pack Miss Xiaxia’s things and move them here.”

At this moment, whether or not to share a room was no longer important.

As long as it’s beneficial for Bei Tianyou’s health, the old lady doesn’t care about anything else.

“No, no, Old Madam, you mustn’t!”

Baili Xia’s face, which had just calmed down, instantly turned red again.

This Old Madam, how could she just act without consulting anyone?

“There’s nothing going on between Brother You and me, what’s the point of moving here?”

Nangong Yun, beside them, was already fuming with rage.

What was supposed to be a good scene of catching someone in the act had unexpectedly turned into this, completely beyond her expectations.

“Now you suddenly want to act all innocent? When you were seducing him, did you think of this?” She pointed at Baili Xia and reprimanded loudly.

Turning to the Old Madam, her face instantly changed to one of pity.

“Grandma, you mustn’t trust this woman; she’s putting on a show, she’s the best at acting.”

The Old Madam looked at her, then at Baili Xia, momentarily uncertain.

Nangong Yun is her granddaughter, whom she’s always loved dearly.

Though Baili Xia can currently help Bei Tianyou, who knows if she has other motives for approaching him?

This girl may be good, but she needs to be observed for a while.

After pondering for a while, the Old Madam slowly spoke.

“Alright, alright, I’m not going to bother with your matters, sort them out yourselves.”

Helplessly, the Old Madam stood up, ignoring the younger generation, and walked directly toward the door.

Seeing the Old Madam wanting to leave, Nangong Yun felt that staying was meaningless.

Without the Old Madam’s backing, in Bei Tianyou’s presence, she was powerless against Baili Xia.

“Grandma, I’ll accompany you back.”

She stood up and gave Baili Xia a fierce glare.

Then quickly caught up to the Old Madam, holding her arm as they walked outside together.

Bei Yulin watched the drama unfold, and after greeting Bei Tianyou, she turned and left.

Tang Jixin, however, was staring at Baili Xia with a thoughtful expression…
