Chapter 1887: Capítulo 1887: Chapter 1890

Baili Xia was still thinking about Nangong Yun’s words earlier, the worry on her face was seen by the Old Madam.

“What’s wrong, do you have something on your mind?” asked the Old Madam kindly.

Baili Xia said, “Nothing, maybe just a bit tired from the massage.”

After speaking, she saluted the Old Madam, “Old Madam, I’ll head back now.”

The Old Madam nodded and did not stop her.

“Then go back and rest.”

Nangong Yun watched Baili Xia leave, a flash of hatred passed through her eyes.

If the Old Madam hadn’t suddenly appeared, she would certainly have told her those things.

The Old Madam sat on the sofa and said to Nangong Yun, “Yun’er, your uncle and Cousin Zicheng will arrive soon, go help me greet them.”

Nangong Yun turned back, putting on a smile.

“Alright, I’ll go outside to wait now.”

Without hesitation, she immediately stepped out of the hall, walking towards the courtyard.

The manner was so obedient it made one’s heart ache.

However, what the Old Madam did not know was that as she turned, a playful smile had already hung on her lips.

With Cousin Zicheng here, she had one more helper.

This time, the drama would certainly be more captivating!

…

Baili Xia returned to Bi Luo Pavilion and stayed in the room all afternoon.

Towards evening, Fan Yi suddenly came.

“Miss Xiaxia, there’s a welcome banquet at the main residence tonight, the Old Madam invites you to attend too.”

Baili Xia asked in confusion, “What welcome banquet?”

“The second son of the Bei Family and his family have come.”

Afraid that Baili Xia did not know who the second son was, he continued to explain, “The second son is the big young master’s second uncle, they moved out of the Bei Family years ago.”

Baili Xia uttered an ‘oh’, indicating she understood the relationship.

However, she still found it strange why the second son had moved away from the Bei Family.

In large families, it’s common for all sons to build their own courtyards within the family, like the Mu family.

Although Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo’s courtyards are very far from the main residence.

Still, they are within the Mu Mansion’s bounds, representing the unity of the family.

Yet, this was a matter of others’ family, having nothing to do with her as an outsider.

“Is it appropriate for me as an outsider to join the banquet?” Baili Xia asked.

Fan Yi’s eyes flashed with a hint of amusement: “It’s appropriate, the Old Madam specifically named you, insisting you meet the elders of the Bei Family.”

The amusement in his eyes clearly hinted at something, and Baili Xia wasn’t oblivious.

Brother You’s joke was indeed an over-the-top one.

The misunderstanding, who knows when it could be cleared up.

However, essentially being in events as Bei Tianyou’s girlfriend certainly made things much easier.

She herself didn’t mind, after all, Bei Tianyou was her cousin, closer bonds are only natural.

Thankfully, Uncle and Brother aren’t here, otherwise, those two might get upset.

Suddenly, Baili Xia paused, her fingertips inexplicably tightened.

Brother is her fiancé and getting jealous is normal, but why did she feel that Uncle would be upset too?

She lightly shook her head, tossing away those odd feelings.

Looking at Fan Yi, she helplessly pursed her lips, “Can I bring Wu Ming along?”

Fan Yi was slightly stunned, “This…”

This was essentially a family gathering of the Bei Family.

Baili Xia was invited because the Old Madam had already regarded her as a granddaughter-in-law.

Wu Ming was merely an attendant to her.

Fan Yi was momentarily at a loss on how to refuse.

This request did pose a bit of a predicament.
