Chapter 1546: Chapter 1545: My Heart Aches for You_1

“If I truly wanted to take Jiwei Residence for myself, relying on the support of the retired emperor, I could have claimed everything from Jiwei Residence. But I didn’t, all I wanted was the profits from Jiwei Residence, which just needs to send its earnings to me each month. I don’t care about the rest at all.”

“Jiwei Residence is still the property of the Prime Minister. When the earnings have paid off the gambling debts, then Jiwei Residence will have nothing to do with me.”

“The rumors that claim I took Jiwei Residence are framing me. I am a person who honors relationships; I always remember the kindness of the Prime Minister, which is why I choose to believe in the Prime Minister this time.”

“Bei Yun, it’s absolutely impossible for Yu Zizhou to have stolen the treasure to use as a deposit for the Tianlong Gang. Now that the treasure has vanished without a trace, I think it was you who stole it.”

Upon hearing this, Bei Yun shot to his feet, “Miss Qiao, you can’t just talk nonsense like that. Why would I steal that thing for no reason? Besides, that treasure was protected by nine locks. How could I steal it? I’m not a master thief.”

“And was there any sign that the treasure was stolen? No, wasn’t there? At least the Yu Family didn’t find any. Such a clever method of thievery, you’re really giving me too much credit.”

He spoke with some agitation, and after finishing, he quickly raised his hand to pat his chest, then drew several long breaths.

He couldn’t afford to be agitated; any excitement could trigger the poison inside him.

He looked towards Qiao Xiaomai; his voice and expression had returned to calm, “Miss Qiao, if you say I stole it, present your evidence.”

“I may have committed many wrongs in the past, but if you’re going to pin any sort of blame on me for that, I won’t accept it.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai turned to look at Bei Lingsu, “Lingsu, what do you say?”

Bei Lingsu’s pretty face was darkened with gloom as she glanced at Bei Yun and said, “He was the first to bring up the Jiufeng Flying to the Heavens; he must know something.”

“What I know is that Jiufeng Flying to the Heavens is now in the hands of the Duan family,” said Bei Yun. “Oh, of course, now that I’ve betrayed the Duan family, if you send someone to ask them, they will surely deny it, they’ll definitely try to shift the blame onto me.”

“So you mean to say, there’s no solving this matter?” Qiao Xiaomai asked with raised eyebrows.

Bei Yun spread his hands, “Anyway, that’s what I understand of it.”

Qiao Xiaomai, upon hearing this, looked at Bei Lingsu.

Bei Lingsu stood up and quickly walked over to Bei Yun, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and held out the other hand in front of him, “Bei Yun, tell me the truth—who is really conspiring with the Duan family?”

“It’s Yu Zizhou.”

“Stop lying to me, take a good look at this pill; you know what it is. If you swallow it, the poison in your body will act in an instant,” Bei Lingsu said, her expression tinged with sorrow, “Your expression just now really moved me. Honestly, we’re family. Even though you made a mistake, that’s because no one ever taught you right from wrong.”

“So, I can forgive you—as long as you mend your ways.”

“We’re family, and I don’t want to force you with these tactics. Tell me the truth—will you turn over a new leaf?”

Bei Lingsu’s words were genuinely sincere, and the sorrow on her face didn’t seem feigned. Bei Yun dropped the smile from his face, “You’re feeling sorry for me?”

“Of course; when our ancestor had no choice but to abandon Bei Huan, he sent people back to look for him afterward, and he still felt guilty on his deathbed.”

“After I learned about that, and heard about your experiences, I truly felt pained for you.”
