Chapter 1872: Capítulo 1872: Chapter 1875

That guy Wu Ming, his temper is no better than Uncle’s. She even questioned how Uncle managed to make use of someone like him.

It always seemed that Wu Ming exuded an aura of strength that couldn’t be easily commanded by others.

Even Uncle… it feels like they were at most evenly matched, and he didn’t seem much grander than Wu Ming.

Actually, speaking of which, the only thing Wu Ming lacked was that disfigured face of his.

Bei Tianyou nodded slightly, feeling somewhat helpless inside.

If he could participate, how could he worry about losing?

The two were talking when footsteps sounded from behind.

Fan Yi walked in and saluted Bei Tianyou and Baili Xia.

“Young Master, the Old Madam invites Miss Xiaxia over for a meal.”

Baili Xia was slightly taken aback, having just arrived at the Bei family, surprised that the Old Madam already knew.

Noticing her confusion, Bei Tianyou explained, “I just mentioned to her that you were here.”

A hint of a smile glided through his eyes as he continued, “It seems she misses her granddaughter-in-law.”

Baili Xia’s eyes widened, and black lines appeared on her forehead.

Goodness, the Old Madam still remembered that matter.

Back then, Brother You had purely made up such a lie to give her an out, and now it had become a psychological burden on her.

“If you don’t want trouble, just really become her granddaughter-in-law.”

Bei Tianyou teased, an underlying flash of sincerity hidden in his tone.

Baili Xia rolled her eyes at him, “Are you looking for a beating?”

Bei Tianyou chuckled lightly and didn’t respond.

Seeing that the girl had relaxed, he was relieved.

“Come on, let’s go see her.”

“Then, what about Wu Ming?” At this moment, Baili Xia was still thinking about Wu Ming.

“Fan Yi will take care of it.”

Leaving Bi Luo Pavilion, Bei Tianyou accompanied Baili Xia as they walked toward the main house.

In the side hall of the main house, the Old Madam and Nangong Yun were sitting at the dining table chatting.

Baili Xia, following Bei Tianyou into the side hall, first saluted the Old Madam.

“Old Madam.”

The Old Madam’s face was full of kind smiles, and the affection she showed Baili Xia seemed no less than when she looked at Nangong Yun.

“Come, girl, let me have a good look at you.”

She extended her hand, gently beckoning Baili Xia over.

Baili Xia walked over and extended her hand for the Old Madam to hold.

“You’ve been back for a month, and you seem to have lost quite a bit of weight. Were you mistreated at the Mu family?”

The Old Madam raised her hand and gently touched Baili Xia’s cheek, speaking with affection.

She wasn’t aware of what Baili Xia had gone through, although she had heard of the changes at the Mu family. Rumor had it that Baili Yang’s granddaughter was called Ning Anran.

Therefore, she hadn’t connected this matter to Baili Xia.

Moreover, if she were truly Baili Yang’s granddaughter, how could she still be staying at the Mu family?

Baili Xia smiled softly, “No, at the Mu family, Uncle and Brother took good care of me, and I was fine.”

The Old Madam nodded, “Come, sit down and eat while we chat.”

Once Baili Xia was seated next to Bei Tianyou, the Old Madam signaled to Lan.

Lan immediately called in the servants to serve the food.

Baili Xia had already sensed the cold gaze coming from Nangong Yun.

But she didn’t mind and chose to ignore it.

She looked at the Old Madam and softly asked, “Old Madam, how is the Old Master? Is he feeling better?”

After the Old Master was attacked, though he had recovered under Nangong Xu’s care, not seeing him this time still made her a bit worried.

The Old Madam smiled, “He’s all better now. As soon as he recovered, he couldn’t stay still and went off traveling just after the New Year.”

“I expect he should be back in a few days.”

Baili Xia nodded and, turning her head, suddenly realized another person had been glaring at her with utter hatred.
