Chapter 1877: Capítulo 1877: Chapter 1880

From Nangong Yun’s words, it’s not hard to guess the opposing relationship between Sir Mu and Uncle.

Is she hinting that Sir Mu’s tragic death in prison was also because of Uncle?

Baili Xia returned to her room, lay down on the bed, pondering the possible stakes involved.

But she had no impression of this person, and couldn’t figure out the reason…

…

In the evening, Baili Xia and Wu Ming had dinner themselves at Bi Luo Pavilion.

Bei Tianyou did not return, saying that a distant relative had come over to pay respects to the Old Madam for the New Year, and the family was dining in the main house.

They originally invited Baili Xia to join them, but she had things on her mind and politely declined.

After dinner, as Baili Xia was about to return to her room, Wu Ming called out to her.

“Come, I’ll take you somewhere.”

Baili Xia was in a bad mood and didn’t want to go.

Especially when she saw Wu Ming, she would think of him as Uncle’s man.

Uncle treated her very well, she could see that.

But she couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t tell her certain things?

“I don’t want to go out, I’m a bit tired, just want to go back to my room to rest.”

There was a flicker of something in Wu Ming’s eyes; this girl was acting strange today.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just tired.”

Her words were reluctant, and Wu Ming easily saw she was in a bad mood.

“Still thinking about the competition?”

Baili Xia shook her head: “No, you not wanting to participate is your choice. I won’t force you.”

Her voice was calm but sincere, and Wu Ming believed it was her genuine thought.

“Then what are you worried about, tell me.”

He stared intently into Baili Xia’s eyes, hoping to read something from her gaze.

Baili Xia looked up at him, feeling very complex inside.

After a long pause, she suddenly asked, “If your closest person did many things behind your back, how would you feel?”

Wu Ming was slightly startled, his dark eyes shrinking unconsciously.

What did this girl suddenly mean by saying this, had she remembered something?

After a while, he said, “It depends on the matter; sometimes it’s better not knowing than knowing.”

Baili Xia smiled faintly, with a trace of helplessness.

“I don’t know, hope so.”

Although Wu Ming’s words might reflect Uncle’s thoughts, Baili Xia still felt stifled inside.

She didn’t know the truth of the matter, so she didn’t know how deeply it was being concealed.

“Suddenly, I don’t feel like going back to the room. Where to? You lead the way.”

Wu Ming watched her eyes until the gloom was nowhere to be seen, then turned and walked out.

Baili Xia followed him, walking out of Bi Luo Pavilion, arriving outside Jin Ye Pavilion’s courtyard.

“Is it here?”

Wu Ming nodded indifferently: “I’ll take you to meet Bei Fengjin.”

Baili Xia didn’t know why Wu Ming wanted to see Bei Fengjin, but she really needed to thank him in person.

The medicine he gave before not only saved Zimo but also her life.

As before, the two of them climbed over the courtyard wall from the backyard.

It was still the same old place, the room with the light on.

Wu Ming walked over and gently knocked on the door a few times.

Footsteps approached from afar, and the door was opened from inside.

Bei Fengjin, as always, had a handsome face showing no trace of age.

He exuded a faint herbal fragrance; it was easy to imagine that even during the New Year, his alchemy hadn’t stopped.

Seeing Wu Ming and Baili Xia, Bei Fengjin was a bit surprised.

“When did you arrive?”

Since saying goodbye to Baili Xia last time, Bei Tianyou said they probably wouldn’t be back for a long time.

“This morning.” Wu Ming said casually, stepping inside.

Here, it seemed more casual than in other places.
