Chapter 2548

Several people looked at Mu Xiaoyao, with no reduction in their defensive stance.

“Do you not believe even my words?”

Seeing they didn’t respond, Bei Xier furrowed her two lovely willow brows, feigning displeasure.

“Or are you deliberately making things difficult for me?”

“Miss Xixi, how could we? It’s just that he…”

The few people looked at Mu Xiaoyao, looking troubled.

“That’s not what we mean, it’s just…”

The group exchanged glances, and the man who had spoken before turned back to Bei Xier.

“The Old Madam and Lady Yue have already issued orders: if we see Mu Xiaoyao or Baili Xia, we must bring them back.”

“How about this, let’s go ask Lady Yue, and you can talk to her directly, Miss Xixi.”

Bei Xier nodded, sensing the man behind her was ready to move his steps again, she immediately urged.

“Hurry, I really have something important to say to them immediately.”

The man nodded slightly to her, not daring to delay, and quickly turned to run towards the direction of Bi Luo Pavilion.

Watching the figure walk away, Bei Xier turned back to look at Mu Xiaoyao, reaching out to hold his strong arm, preventing him from moving forward.

“Xiaxia will be fine, let’s wait a bit longer, okay?”

Mu Xiaoyao’s anxiety was evident even if he didn’t speak, Bei Xier could guess.

Rushing back along the way must be because he’s worried about Xiaxia having any mishap.

But if a conflict arises with the Bei Family here, it would surely lead to a misunderstanding with the Old Madam.

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t respond, but his body carried a chill.

He didn’t want to wait any longer.

“When you go in, don’t act impulsively, that won’t help Xiaxia.”

“Leave it to me, I’ll persuade Grandma and Mom, making them understand Xiaxia is innocent.”

Seeing Mu Xiaoyao still with a tense face, ignoring her.

Bei Xier pondered for a moment, finally relying on her trump card.

“Acting like this won’t benefit Xiaxia in any way; it won’t just be ineffective, it will harm her.”

Mu Xiaoyao’s fingertips twitched, eyes settling on Bei Xier’s face, eyes complex.

Although he still didn’t speak, Bei Xier knew that at least he had listened.

The two didn’t speak further, standing at the door quietly waiting for Bei Qingyue’s arrival.

…

That brother arrived at Wangyue Pavilion, only to find that Bei Qingyue wasn’t there.

He asked a servant and learned that she had gone to Bi Luo Pavilion.

As he was about to leave, a voice suddenly called him from behind.

“Wait a moment.”

Nangong Qingqing saw his hurried manner and walked up to him.

“Miss Qingqing.” The brother greeted respectfully.

“What’s happening? You’re in such a rush.”

The brother didn’t dare delay, quickly replying truthfully: “Miss Xixi has returned, but Mu Xiaoyao is with her, I’m thinking of asking Lady Yue what to do.”

Although they’ve worked here for years and know Nangong Qingqing doesn’t hold real power.

Still, they considered her a master, not daring to hide anything from her.

Nangong Qingqing was slightly taken aback, her eyebrows instantly furrowing.

Bei Xier actually returned on her own, and with Mu Xiaoyao no less.

This means Nangong Yun’s plan has completely fallen through?

That brother saw Nangong Qingqing hesitating, not knowing what she was thinking.

He added: “Miss Qingqing, if there’s no issue, I’ll head to Bi Luo Pavilion to find Lady Yue.”

He took two steps back, intending to leave.
