“You came at the right time. Where is Mu Xiaoyao? Have him come out and see me immediately.”

Upon seeing Baili Xia, a complex expression flashed in Bei Qingyue’s eyes.

Just as Baili Xia was about to say something, Bei Tianyou slowly stood up and looked at Bei Qingyue, his words still calm.

“Aunt, I respect you and won’t argue with you much.”

“However, you’d better spend your time on legitimate matters. The person you’re looking for is not here.”

Seeing Bei Qingyue coming with such an imposing manner to find Mu Xiaoyao, he could guess that she must suspect Mu Xiaoyao of killing Bei Zicheng.

Even he himself felt that Mu Xiaoyao was suspect, let alone others.

Therefore, after returning, he had already gone to ask Baili Xia.

“You…”

Clearly, Bei Tianyou was protecting his own, but since Baili Xia was right in front of her, there was no need to get entangled with Bei Tianyou.

Looking at Baili Xia, Bei Qingyue narrowed her starry eyes, “Your brother did something. He knows better than anyone.”

“Don’t think that with You supporting him, he can do whatever he wants.”

“Zicheng is, after all, a member of the Bei family. Now that this has happened, we will definitely seek justice for him.”

“Have Mu Xiaoyao come out. Do you think he can hide from us forever?”

Only then did Baili Xia realize that Bei Qingyue had come to hold someone accountable.

“You’re suspecting my brother of killing Bei Zicheng? Do you have any evidence?”

Bei Qingyue snorted, saying, “Let him come out and confront me face to face. I will naturally tell you the evidence.”

A trace of surprise flashed in Baili Xia’s eyes. Evidence?

She was truly amused, really wondering what evidence she supposedly had.

If she hadn’t already discussed the issue of Bei Zicheng with her brother, perhaps she would also suspect he would kill Bei Zicheng.

But now, her brother knows the severity of it.

He understands that doing so would make it impossible for her to stay in the Bei family, so he would never do such a thing.

She absolutely trusts her brother.

After thinking for a moment, Baili Xia replied, “My brother is not at Bi Luo Pavilion right now. He went out early and hasn’t returned yet.”

Bei Qingyue’s heart tightened, which further fueled her suspicion of Mu Xiaoyao.

“I think he’s on the run to avoid punishment, isn’t he?”

“Baili Xia, if he doesn’t come back, I’m afraid you’ll have to come with me first.”

Baili Xia furrowed her brows, surprised that Bei Qingyue intended to do this.

It seems the pressure from this matter is considerable for her.

She looked at Bei Qingyue and said, “Lady Yue, is there some misunderstanding here? My brother definitely wouldn’t kill Bei Zicheng.”

Although the news of Bei Zicheng’s death is an entirely beneficial thing for her.

She should have been happy that the villain got punished, but she couldn’t bring herself to feel joy.

Now it seems that they might be falling into someone else’s trap.

Bei Qingyue raised her voice angrily, “There’s no misunderstanding.”

“It was my brothers searching at the back mountain who saw Mu Xiaoyao coming down.”

“Just as he came down from the mountain, my brothers found Zicheng severely injured.”

“Mu Xiaoyao admitted himself that he went up the mountain to find Zicheng.”

“Do you think this evidence is enough?”

Baili Xia was stunned. If what Bei Qingyue said was true, such evidence indeed would lead people to suspect her brother.

However, she absolutely does not believe it.

Sometimes, what you see is not necessarily the truth.

Moreover, is there anyone who personally witnessed her brother committing murder?
