Chapter 2600

“I’m fine.” The Old Madam gently waved her hand.

Bei Shengri looked at everything before him, holding back words he hadn’t spoken.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but speak up.

“Mom, I just brought Zicheng back, hoping he could contribute to the Bei Family.”

“Is it possible that the Bei Family can’t even handle this?”

The Old Madam trembled, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.

“Shengri, do you suspect that it’s our Bei Family trying to harm Zicheng?”

Bei Shengri snorted coldly, saying nothing.

This attitude was tantamount to an admission.

The Old Madam unconsciously stepped back, as they say, even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs.

Though these children were rebellious, had she ever punished them heartlessly?

Everything she did was in hopes that the descendants of the Bei Family would become better.

But now, Bei Shengri was directly accusing them of harming Bei Zicheng.

Bei Qingyue’s expression changed, angrily saying, “Brother, how can you speak to Mom like that?”

This obvious frame-up, although fueled by resentment, would severely hurt feelings.

From now on, the relationship with the Ling Family might never improve.

“It’s you who harmed Zicheng; otherwise, how could he suddenly have an accident in good health?”

Ling Lin’s bloodshot eyes glared at the Old Madam: “If I don’t get an explanation, I won’t let this matter rest.”

The Old Madam’s eyebrows drooped slightly; it seemed that unless the whole story was told, it would be hard for Bei Shengri and Ling Lin to calm down today.

“Alright, since it’s come to this, I’ll tell you everything.”

If it was to be told, then it would be told calmly.

The Old Madam walked to the side, sat down on a chair, and slowly began to recount the entire incident.

“Three days ago, Zicheng took Xier out without imagining…”

The Old Madam then told Bei Shengri and Ling Lin the entire story of how Bei Zicheng had plotted against Bei Xier and Baili Xia.

The whole matter was told without a hint of concealing, just wanting them to understand that this matter might have been a disaster Bei Zicheng brought upon himself.

What was surprising, however, was that after hearing it, Ling Lin refused to believe it at all.

“How is it possible? Zicheng and Bei Xier are both children of the Bei Family, what reason does my son have to harm her? He has absolutely no such motive.”

The Old Madam nodded, agreeing with her words.

“However, perhaps Xier was merely a pawn in Zicheng’s plan this time; the person he actually wanted to deal with was Baili Xia.”

“Why do you say so?”

Bei Shengri raised an eyebrow and immediately walked toward them.

He knew of the feud between Zicheng and Baili Xia.

Last time, he suffered quite a loss at Baili Xia’s hands, and this time it was related to her again.

Bei Shengri had a vague feeling that his son’s death was inextricably linked to Baili Xia.

He lowered his eyes to look at the Old Madam, still furious.

However, this time, before the Old Madam could speak, Bei Qingyue, standing to the side, had already taken the lead in explaining.

“A few days after the birthday banquet, Zicheng suffered a setback with Baili Xia.”

With just one simple sentence, Bei Qingyue had explained the whole matter clearly.

But, she wasn’t foolish; she definitely wouldn’t mention Nangong Yun’s name at this time.

Ling Lin looked at Bei Qingyue, though she seemed calm, a chill emanated from her body.

“So you’re saying, Baili Xia wanted revenge, so she had Mu Xiaoyao kill my Zicheng?”

She was very perceptive, quickly grasping the meaning that Bei Qingyue was implying.

Thinking of the past enmity between Zicheng and Baili Xia, it was really possible that she was the one behind it.

Immediately, the arrow pointed at Baili Xia.
