Chapter 2543

Bei Qingyue forced a laugh, not responding to the question.

She said, “Since you’ve returned, You, why didn’t you notify us? The Old Madam has been waiting for you.”

Bei Tianyou glanced at her mildly and replied, “She’s originally staying at Bi Luo Pavilion, she’s just coming back as usual. Does this require notifying you?”

He acted like nothing had happened, as if he had completely forgotten Baili Xia’s involvement in yesterday’s events.

Bei Qingyue frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

“You, are you intentionally protecting Baili Xia?”

“The Old Madam has been waiting to take her back and question her about Xi’er. Aren’t you afraid the Old Madam will be unhappy with your protection?”

Even though she was the Clan Leader and Bei Tianyou’s aunt, Bei Tianyou’s power was undeniable.

If possible, she would never want to fall out with him.

Helpless, she could only bring up the Old Madam’s status to suppress him.

Bei Tianyou’s brow furrowed slightly, he looked at Bei Qingyue indifferently, his expression growing colder.

Bei Qingyue didn’t say anything, just waited quietly.

After all, with so many people guarding the area, it was impossible for Baili Xia to leave.

After a while, Bei Tianyou suddenly asked, “Has Bei Xier returned?”

“Of course not.”

“Since she hasn’t returned yet, why bother Xiaxia for questioning?”

The words were simple and powerful, anyone could tell he was inclined to protect his own.

Nangong Yun bit her teeth tightly, she was injured, originally Bei Qingyue had asked her to rest.

But upon hearing Baili Xia had returned, she was determined to follow and bring her back.

The news of the failure from outside kept coming in, making her completely nervous about this operation.

If it ultimately failed, she was likely to be punished.

Although she had made some precautionary arrangements this morning, who would have thought Baili Xia had returned to the Bei Family.

Now, if she wanted to act against her, she would have to take her away.

Nangong Yun made a coquettish smile at Bei Tianyou and spoke, “Tianyou, Xi’er is now uncertain in life or death, Grandma is very worried about her.”

Bei Tianyou’s sharp gaze fell on her, making her tense inside.

But the bow was drawn, and the arrow must fly; she had no choice but to feign composure.

“Baili Xia is currently the only clue, let us take her back for questioning, as long as it’s unrelated to her, I promise to bring her back immediately.”

“This matter has nothing to do with her, in fact, she and Wu Ming were attacked and injured.”

As he looked at Nangong Yun’s eyes slightly narrowed, as if he wanted to see through her.

“I suspect someone set up this trap to harm her.”

Bei Qingyue caught the meaning in Bei Tianyou’s words, as his target directly pointed at Nangong Yun; she had a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

“You, the missing person now is Xi’er, Yun’er personally saw Mu Xiaoyao abduct her.”

“Yes, Tianyou, I saw it with my own eyes.” Nangong Yun quickly agreed.

“You see, I tried to stop Mu Xiaoyao, even my arm was broken by him, do you still refuse to believe me?”

She raised her hand, wanting Bei Tianyou to see her injured arm.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, a heart-wrenching pain hit.

Nangong Yun’s face twisted in distress, a ruthlessness surfaced in her eyes.

She must retaliate against Baili Xia for this broken-arm pain.

Upon seeing this, Baili Xia realized that Nangong Yun’s broken arm was thanks to Brother.

She didn’t expect Nangong Yun had encountered Brother, until now still unable to find them; it seemed they were safe.

Though Brother was skilled, he wouldn’t easily strike harshly.

She wondered what Nangong Yun did that made Brother treat her like this.

But she knew, this woman definitely hadn’t done anything good!
