"Sheng'er, I..."
"Shhh."
Judging from Bei Rao's reaction, Mo Shisheng could roughly tell that she didn't really want to bring up these things, so Mo Shisheng didn't press the matter any further.
Before Bei Rao could speak, he gently patted her back and said, "Bei Chen may not be dead, so you should be more careful during this time."
"You suspect that Bei Chen is the one who manipulated all of this?"
Bei Rao wasn't stupid either. Hearing Mo Shisheng's words, she immediately realized what he meant, and her tone clearly showed disbelief.
"Um."
Mo Shisheng didn't say anything more. Footsteps came from outside the door, gradually approaching Bei Rao.
Bei Rao naturally heard the commotion. She gently released Mo Shisheng from her arms, and the mother and daughter's eyes met in the air.
Mo Shisheng smiled slightly and gently tidied Bei Rao's stray hairs by her ear. "Everything will be alright after this period."
"Sheng'er, you..."
"Mother, I'm leaving now. I'll come to visit you again next time." Even if she wanted to take Bei Rao with her now, it wouldn't be realistic.
If the person behind them really is Bei Chen, then they can't predict what crazy things he might do next.
Mo Shisheng couldn't gamble with Bei Rao's safety; she couldn't afford the consequences.
Because someone was approaching outside the door, Mo Shisheng had no choice but to leap out of the window, her figure disappearing into the thick night.
For a long time, Bei Rao remained in this position until the room door was pushed open.
Shangguan Yue stood at the doorway in a gorgeous dress, with several maids following behind her to hold up her skirt, exuding luxury and nobility.
"Step back."
She walked into the room and gently waved her hand, signaling the maids to leave first.
"yes."
The maid dared not disobey, respectfully curtsied, and then neatly withdrew, leaving only Shangguan Yue and Bei Rao in the room.
The air carried a faint, cool scent, not Bei Rao's scent, but even somewhat familiar.
Shangguan Yue had a very sensitive nose. Her gaze moved from the edge of the bed to the window, and as she looked at the cold wind blowing in from outside, she smiled slightly. "Mother, why aren't you resting so late? You haven't even closed the window properly. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
"..."
Bei Rao glanced at Shangguan Yue indifferently. Ever since she had exposed her true identity to her face that time, she had stopped pretending.
Shangguan Yue felt that Bei Rao was a burden, and Bei Rao felt the same way about Shangguan Yue, but there was nothing they could do, which was the most infuriating thing.
Shangguan Yue originally wanted to kill Bei Rao directly, but the mysterious person wouldn't let her touch Bei Rao. Bei Rao was now a saintess, and if she suddenly died without explanation, it would ruin everything.
Shangguan Yue didn't understand. How much trouble could Bei Rao, such a sickly person, possibly cause?
Now, she has to oversee all matters of the Divine Realm, and she lives a life of luxury and power, a life she never dared to indulge in as a distant relative of the Shangguan family.
Now that she has not only become a high-ranking official, but also taken this position, Shangguan Yue's eyes gleamed with a smug sneer as she thought that no one would be able to shake her position from now on.
Seeing this, Bei Rao could immediately discern her inner thoughts and gently shook her head, "Impulsive."
"impetuous?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yue sneered, "Mother, you're wrong about that. Do you think I'm still just impetuous at this point? Do you think you still have a way to save the Divine Realm?"
