Chapter 2303

After contemplating for a moment, Ye Zi suddenly clenched her palm.

“Alright, I’ll trust you this one time.”

“If I discover you have any other motives, I will immediately take my own life.”

Her voice was resolute, leaving no room for doubt about her words.

Baili Xia nodded heavily: “Okay.”

Ye Zi took the pills from her hand and tossed them into her mouth in one gulp.

Once swallowed, she felt it rapidly dissolve, forming a warm current that spread to her limbs.

Watching the changes in her expression, Baili Xia knew that the Awakening Spirit Pills were slowly taking effect.

“You should take a good rest so the medicine can work effectively. I’ll come to see you later.”

She stood up and took her leave.

At this time, it was necessary to leave Ye Zi alone, allowing her to slowly recall.

Perhaps upon waking, she might remember past events.

Though this possibility was slim.

Ye Zi didn’t pay much attention and directly lay down on the bed.

Closing her eyes, she carefully felt the effects of the pills.

Baili Xia left the medical room and headed back to her room.

Before reaching her room, she saw the door wide open, with a beam of light streaming out.

Baili Xia’s heart tightened; without thinking, she knew who had returned.

Apart from Uncle, who else had the key to her room?

Uncle’s return signified that external matters were resolved.

She didn’t know if he was injured, nor how Mu Xuri was now.

Not minding Uncle’s intrusion into her boudoir, Baili Xia quickly reached the doorway.

Gently pushed the door open, she stepped inside.

The room was quiet, and looking in, she saw Mu Xiaojiu lying on her big bed.

Exuding an air of laziness, it was evident he was exhausted.

Baili Xia tiptoed over and took a closer look.

Uncle’s breathing was even, indicating he had fallen asleep.

His clothes were fairly clean, suggesting he probably wasn’t injured.

Since leaving yesterday morning, what exactly had he been doing, and did he rest at all to be this tired?

Baili Xia had many questions in her mind but didn’t have the heart to wake him.

Give Uncle some time to rest well.

She bent over to remove his boots, lifted his feet onto the bed.

Yanked a blanket over and covered him.

After doing all this, Baili Xia slowly walked to the sofa and lay down.

Uncle finally saw Mu Xuri’s true colors.

There was no need to worry anymore about Uncle being framed by him.

After yesterday’s events, she knew Mu Xuri could never return to the Mu Mansion.

The only regret was not knowing where Mu Xuri was now.

He killed Grandpa, letting him roam free would be too lenient.

Thinking of these matters, Baili Xia’s eyelids grew heavier.

Eventually, she fell asleep.

…

Morning in Jin City revealed a bustling scene.

The streets were filled with traffic as everyone rushed to work.

Having left the Mu Mansion a day ago, Ning Anran walked aimlessly, staring at the passing vehicles in a daze.

With not a penny on her, she didn’t know where she belonged.

Still, it was better than being tossed into the sea to feed the fish.

Even though Ning Anran herself didn’t understand why, despite Mr. Xiaojiu saying he’d throw her into the sea, he simply threw her out.

Could it be because Mr. Xiaojiu still harbors feelings for her, still remembers her kindness?

But if Mr. Xiaojiu truly held feelings for her, how could he possibly…

No, the one who ordered such a mistreatment couldn’t have been Mr. Xiaojiu.

It must have been Baili Xia, that vile woman!

At least, she was still alive, and as long as she lived, she would definitely exact her revenge!
