Chapter 1914: Capítulo 1914: Chapter 1917

“Mom…”

“No way!”

Bei Qingyue and Bei Shengri spoke simultaneously. The Old Madam’s decision meant tonight’s conversation was a complete failure.

They hadn’t expected the Old Madam to be so stubborn, unwilling to easily let go of their child.

Seeing Bei Qingyue plead, Bei Shengri held his tongue first.

“Mom, she’s already been punished. Why not just confine Yun’er to the Wangyue Pavilion, okay?”

“I’ll keep a close watch on her and won’t let her out for even a step.”

The Old Madam glared at her and reprimanded, “It’s because of your lax discipline that she’s becoming more and more unruly. Do you think I can’t see that?”

“Regardless of the reason, committing such a grave mistake didn’t happen overnight.”

“If she’s indulged any further, the reputation of the Bei Family will completely collapse at her hands.”

Bei Qingyou also did not dare to oppose the Old Madam’s wishes, so she had to try another way to pleade.

“But the dungeon environment—I fear Yun’er can’t bear it.”

“Don’t plead for her anymore. Through this, she might learn a lesson and restrain herself. You’ll thank me later.”

Bei Qingyue was helpless, her compassionate gaze swept over Nangong Yun before she returned to sit on the sofa.

Seeing the Old Madam so persistent, Bei Shengri also stopped pleading.

His expression cooled, and he said, “Mom, there’s no need to trouble you with Zicheng. I’ll take him back and discipline him personally.”

The Old Madam looked at him, her expression also stiffening.

“This matter concerns the Bei Family’s reputation and should remain here.”

She was well aware of Bei Shengri’s intentions; once they returned home, he would surely discipline Bei Zicheng, but he worried about explaining things to the Ling Family.

But even after explaining matters to the Ling Family, does the Bei Family not require an explanation?

“Mom, do you want Zicheng to end up like I did back then?”

The Old Madam was momentarily taken aback as memories rushed back to her mind.

After a moment, she slowly said, “Alright, in that case, once you return, make sure you discipline him well.”

Her heart chilled as well, “Tomorrow morning, you should head back.”

After speaking, she stood up from the sofa.

Lan immediately approached to assist the Old Madam, and they turned towards the east wing.

The sky was nearing dawn, her age boundless, staying up all night because of this matter had exhausted her.

Bei Shengri also didn’t linger, having someone bring Bei Zicheng, and he left the Bei Family together with Ling Lin.

Although Bei Qingyue felt somewhat reluctant, she dared not defy the Old Madam’s wishes.

Thus, Nangong Yun was locked up in the dungeon…

…

In the morning, Baili Xia, well-rested after a night’s sleep, got out of bed.

Coming downstairs, she saw Bei Tianyou sitting in the hall, drinking tea.

Baili Xia sat opposite him and softly called, “Brother You.”

Bei Tianyou glanced at her and said indifferently, “Getting up so late, you might as well skip breakfast.”

Baili Xia blushed; she had stayed up late and tired, not waking until nearly ten today.

She looked at Bei Tianyou but said nothing.

Bei Tianyou signaled a servant nearby, and the servant immediately withdrew.

Moments later, he returned, carrying a tray.

The tray was placed in front of Baili Xia, and he respectfully said, “Miss Xiaxia, please have your meal.”

Baili Xia’s heart warmed; she hadn’t expected Brother You to save breakfast for her.

“Thank you.”

Bei Tianyou merely nodded slightly, without a word.

She picked up a small cake from the tray and started eating.

After she finished the cake, Bei Tianyou suddenly said, “Last night, Nangong Yun was locked up.”
