Chapter 2446

But no matter what grievances Nangong Qingqing had in her heart, she absolutely did not dare to utter a sound at this time.

Over the years, she had gotten used to it.

Nangong Yun was like the heavens; whatever she said, that was it.

If Nangong Qingqing dared to say a word of defiance, she would definitely die a miserable death later.

“I can’t eat this breakfast! Watching each of you useless people is already filling!”

With that, giving Nangong Qingqing a fierce glare, Nangong Yun turned and left with large strides.

Not until that figure completely disappeared from the side hall did Nangong Qingqing nod slightly at Bei Xier and also start to walk away.

Actually, when it comes down to it, her sister was angry with her for what happened last night, suspecting that she hadn’t actually put the poison into Bei Xier’s red wine.

Last night, she had already suffered a lot at her hands, and with no place to vent, she could only take it out on Ping’er.

In a way, Ping’er had also been punished on her behalf today.

As for why Nangong Yun had targeted Ping’er, it was undoubtedly because Ping’er was Bei Xier’s close maid.

This time Nangong Yun could both vent her anger and give Bei Xier a warning; to her, it was certainly a good two-birds-one-stone approach.

After the two left, Bei Xier gave Ping’er a comforting look and then supported her as they walked towards the stairs.

After simply applying some medicine to her, Bei Xier looked at Ping’er, her expression turning serious.

“Sister’s temper has always been like this, don’t think too much about it.”

“But just now, something really did touch my foot, and then I…”

Bei Xier reached up to wipe away the tear at the corner of her eye, her voice extremely gentle.

“I know, just stay here today, and wait for me to come back.”

Even with the grievances in her heart, Ping’er still nodded.

Nangong Yun had always thrown her weight around here, something she was very well aware of.

It was just that her emotions had gotten the better of her earlier, prompting her to talk back.

“Miss Xixi, you must also be careful.” Seeing Bei Xier about to leave, Ping’er couldn’t help but remind her.

“I know, I’m fine.”

With that, Bei Xier took her steps out of the room, carefully closing the door behind her.

There were only two months left until the competition, and as part of the Bei family, Bei Xier didn’t want to drag them down.

Therefore, during this time, she had been going to the back mountain to train with everyone.

Although her performance wasn’t particularly outstanding, as long as there was still time, she didn’t want to give up easily.

If it weren’t for what had just happened, she would have already left.

But when she arrived at the front yard, on a small path not far away, Bei Xier saw a tall figure approaching her.

It was somewhat familiar, but she could be sure the person wasn’t from the Bei family.

As the person came closer, Bei Xier finally saw their appearance clearly.

Short hair fell across his forehead, adding a touch of softness to his resolute facial features, which appeared even more bright and unrestrained under the sunlight.

But… Bei Zicheng, why come here so early after all?

However, when she thought about it, Bei Xier felt relieved, almost forgetting that Nangong Yun was still here; she heard that the two were quite close before.

Bei Zicheng coming here so early today must be to find her, right?

It’s just that she had heard about that matter too, did the two really not know to avoid suspicion?

Seeing him looking at her, Bei Xier had to gather her thoughts, gave a faint smile, and walked towards him.
