Chapter 1512

Bei Tianyou gave a soft snort, his gaze icy cold.

Nangong Yun had his own selfish motives, which he could see.

Sima Liuyue had exploited her selfishness easily.

“I’m not familiar with Sima Liuyue or Lu Xuening, and she came representing the Sima Clan for business talks this time.

I really couldn’t have guessed she is Lu Xuening.”

“Grandmother, Mom, you tell me, I really was used.”

The Old Madam hesitated, uncertain how to speak.

She believed what Bei Tianyou said wouldn’t be false.

But this granddaughter, whether or not she was used, at least hadn’t done anything to harm the Bei family.

From her perspective, the mistake Nangong Yun made wasn’t unforgivable.

But she was reluctant to speak, knowing that the one being chased was Bei Tianyou’s friend, perhaps even the woman he wanted to marry.

Bei Qingyue saw the Old Madam’s dilemma, smiled faintly, and looked at Bei Tianyou as she began to speak.

“Tianyou, Yun’er was just momentarily deceived, which led to her doing something extreme.

She was simply too worried about her grandfather.”

“It’s all my fault; I just returned and wasn’t clear about the situation, so I sent out those subordinates.”

While speaking, she glanced at the Old Madam.

The Old Madam’s expression visibly relaxed a bit; Bei Qingyue knew her words had resolved the Old Madam’s predicament.

Perhaps Bei Tianyou had anticipated Bei Qingyue’s intention, his face remaining as cold as ever.

With regard to Bei Qingyue, he could not disregard her.

Sensing Bei Tianyou’s displeasure, Bei Qingyue quickly smiled and said.

“Tianyou, the urgent matter now is to quickly capture Lu Xuening.

Only by finding her can everything become clear.”

“She’s already escaped,” Bei Tianyou stated blandly.

Upon realizing that Sima Liuyue was actually Lu Xuening, Bei Tianyou immediately knew Lu Xuening was key.

Before returning to the Bei family, he called Fan Yi to apprehend her.

But Fan Yi reported that by the time he reached Wangyue Pavilion, Sima Liuyue’s room was already vacant.

The maid said that two hours ago, Sima Liuyue had hurriedly left.

Upon hearing this news, Bei Tianyou couldn’t help but admire Lu Xuening.

Her mind was indeed meticulous; even before news of failure reached, she had fled.

She had long planned that once the plan was executed, regardless of success, she would first escape.

With the plan’s failure, her fate could surely be foreseen.

But if successful, once she left, even if someone suspected, Guisu would be doomed.

As soon as Guisu died, returning to Jin City would ensure no one could touch her.

For her, Baili Xia perishing alongside Guisu would be ideal.

Even if something happened to Baili Xia and Mu Xiaojiu pursued the matter, it would be the Bei family’s issue.

Her move was made cautiously but overlooked one thing.

Guisu did not perish outside; instead, he returned alive to the Bei family.

“Gone?” Bei Qingyue was momentarily stunned, her gaze drifting to the Old Madam.

The Old Madam’s face did not look too pleased, clearly angered by Lu Xuening’s escape.

“Tianyou, send people out to search, we must capture her.”

After pausing, she remembered something else and hastily said, “Also, inform the Sima Clan, let them know about this.”

Bei Tianyou nodded lightly, calmly saying, “I’ve already informed the Sima family; I believe they’re now even more anxious than we are.”

Sima Liuyue is the leader among the younger generation of the Sima Clan, so with this incident, the Sima family must be in an uproar.
