Chapter 2591

“She dares! She dares!” Bei Qingyue abruptly stood up, her voice hoarse: “I’ll tear her apart!”

Nangong Yun seemed completely unable to understand why her mom was so upset.

She also stood up, looking at her mom, full of confusion.

“What’s wrong? Mom, is there something inappropriate?”

“You tell me what’s inappropriate?” Bei Qingyue glared at her fiercely.

Nangong Yun was stunned by her glare, looking terrified.

It took a while before she blinked again, still looking innocent.

“Mom, actually… I didn’t think it was inappropriate.”

“Although I really dislike Baili Xia, but, for Uncle to be alone all these years, if he truly ends up with Baili Xia, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.”

“What do you mean ‘a good thing’?” Bei Qingyue was about to blow up!

“That blonde girl, how is she worthy of Feng Jin?”

Even if she were worthy, she absolutely would not allow it!

“Mom, you’re so angry, you wouldn’t…”

Nangong Yun suddenly widened her eyes as if discovering a new continent, staring at Bei Qingyue.

“Mom… you, you wouldn’t… have fallen for Uncle, right?”

The next second, she immediately changed her expression, looking panic-stricken.

“Mom, this matter… you absolutely mustn’t let Grandma know, she’d be furious.”

Old Madam cares most about face, she wouldn’t allow her children to have such relationships in private.

Bei Qingyue naturally understood this.

If it weren’t for Old Madam’s concern about face, twenty years ago, Bei Fengjin and Bei Qingyou would have already been together.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I care about your Uncle, he’s part of the Bei Family.”

Bei Qingyue finally calmed down.

However, after Nangong Yun’s interruption, the anger had unknowingly dissipated considerably.

She sat back down, staring at Nangong Yun.

“Don’t think that just because you throw around all sorts of irrelevant matters, I’ll let you off; tell me, are you involved in Bei Zicheng’s death?”

Her feelings for Bei Fengjin were her own business.

She didn’t plan on discussing this matter with anyone.

Nangong Yun knew her mom was coming to settle scores because of this issue today.

She looked at Bei Qingyue, shocked and aggrieved.

“Mom, how could you…”

“Put away that expression.” Bei Qingyue almost felt like rolling her eyes at her.

“I’m your mother, watched you grow up all these years, do you think your clumsy acting skills are of any use in front of me?”

Nangong Yun bit her lip, realizing that she needed to speak properly to get through this.

However, after the earlier events, Bei Qingyue’s anger towards her had noticeably lessened.

Finally, they could talk properly.

Nangong Yun pursed her lips, meeting Bei Qingyue’s gaze earnestly.

“Mom, just as you thought, I also hate Baili Xia. If it weren’t for her, I might already be Jiu’s wife.”

Knowing her mom was impatient, she decided to keep it brief.

“Yes, I conspired with Cousin Zicheng to give Baili Xia a lesson, but there was a mistake along the way…”

“What’s the deal with those black-clad assassins?” Bei Qingyue stared at her.

She actually didn’t believe her daughter had the capability to hire such people.

“It really wasn’t me, and it seems it wasn’t Cousin Zicheng either.”

Nangong Yun always believed that mixing half-truths with lies was the only way to blend truth and deception.

Moreover, those assassins truly weren’t hired by her.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel there’s… an internal traitor within our Bei Family.”
