Chapter 2420

Bei Xier naturally wouldn’t share these thoughts with an outsider like Baili Xia.

“Don’t go there again, or you’ll harm Brother.” Bei Xier said lightly, looking at Baili Xia.

The heavy stone in Baili Xia’s heart was finally lifted; this time, she had gambled correctly.

With Bei Xier saying that, it seemed she wouldn’t tell Brother to others.

After thinking for a moment, she said softly, “Yes, Brother said he found nothing at Youyang Pavilion, going again would probably be useless.”

“Xixi, don’t blame my Brother, he would never harm you. He chose to leave in that way because he had no other choice at the time.”

Bei Xier nodded, knowing Mu Xiaoyao meant no harm.

With so many people around then, if he hadn’t chosen to hold her, it would have been difficult to leave.

Moreover, he didn’t hurt her at all while holding her.

However, those actions were somewhat embarrassing upon recall.

Thinking of this, her face felt slightly hot.

Seeing she didn’t say much more, Baili Xia was thoroughly relieved.

“Xixi, I hope you’ll continue to keep this a secret for us, otherwise I would truly hurt Brother.”

Bei Xier collected her thoughts, looked up at her: “Okay, but no more next time.”

Baili Xia quickly nodded, said, “There absolutely won’t be a next time, Xixi, thank you.”

With Bei Xier willing to keep it a secret, the matter passed like that.

They hadn’t found any clues this time, likely they wouldn’t plan to go to Youyang Pavilion again for now.

In the future, if they truly needed to investigate anything at Youyang Pavilion, let Dad go.

At least, the Old Madam wouldn’t say much if she knew he was going to Youyang Pavilion.

After all, Bei Xier is the adoptive daughter of Bei Qingyue, even if there’s no enmity with her now, future relationships remain uncertain.

After the questioning, Bei Xier didn’t intend to stay longer.

She glanced at Wu Ming, still sitting in front of the computer.

By now the chill around Wu Ming had dissipated, his fingers tapping on the keyboard again.

Her gaze landed on Baili Xia, said lightly, “I’ll head back now.”

“Alright, I’ll see you off.” Baili Xia nodded, and went out the door with Bei Xier.

Only after seeing Bei Xier out of Bi Luo Pavilion’s yard did she leisurely return to the room.

Although this time Bei Xier had helped them, it was solely out of her kind heart.

Thinking Mu Xiaoyao shouldn’t be a bad person, she decided to help him.

Bei Xier is ultimately a member of the Bei Family; if there’s really a next time, it might not be so manageable.

Returning to the room, Wu Ming was already sitting on the sofa.

Seeing Baili Xia’s worried face, he said lightly, “She probably won’t deceive you.”

“I know.” Baili Xia nodded softly, the worry in her eyes not easing a bit.

“It’s just, now that she knows we’re investigating mother, we must be more cautious in the future.”

…

Two days later, it would be the Old Madam’s birthday banquet in the evening.

Early in the morning, servants in the main house’s yard began to busy themselves.

This birthday banquet marks the Old Madam’s seventieth birthday, practically all the notable figures in Bei Miao would come to attend.

Every servant was especially nervous; any mistake today might mean the end of their good job at the Bei Family.

Returning from morning exercise at the back mountain, Bei Xier bathed at Wangyue Pavilion, changed clothes, and came to the main house to help.

Here in the main house, the only young member of the Bei Family living was Bei Yulin.

But she was still sprawled on the bed, definitely not getting up to assist with the preparations.
