144 Probing

Bei Shuo reached out and opened the food box. Shen Yu and Bei Le craned their necks to look over.

Bei Shuo closed the food box and handed it to Xiaoling. “Take it to Young Master’s study.”

“Eh, how can you do that? Didn’t I ask you to deal with it? Why don’t you understand? Hurry up and throw it away! Hurry up, throw it away!” Shen Yu said anxiously.

Xiaoling glanced at Bei Shuo. Bei Shuo nodded and Xiaoling carried the food box upstairs.

“Why don’t you know what’s good for you? Is there something wrong with your brain?” Shen Yu stomped her feet angrily.

However, Bei Le said, “Aiya, Mom! Why are you in a hurry? Can’t you tell that Sister is confident? She doesn’t care how her mother-in-law feels!”

After saying that, Bei Le glanced at Bei Shuo disdainfully.

Bei Shuo didn’t mind at all. She clapped her hands and said, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? Enjoy your meal. You can scheme after you’re full. That way, you’ll have more strength.”

With that, she went straight upstairs.

It was not like she did not know how to infuriate people.

Although she did not have any feelings for her biological mother, she remembered her master’s words and did not want to go overboard.

As for Bei Le, she could not be bothered to argue with her.

Unexpectedly, Bei Le followed her when she returned to her room.

“Sister, why are you so petty? You are not even willing to let Mom and I take a look at your room. Poor Mom is still worried that you won’t live well in the Mu Family! Tsk! This Eldest Young Master’s room is just so-so.”

Bei Le spoke to herself as she sized up their room, looking unscrupulous.

Bei Shuo remained silent. She crossed her arms and stood at the door, looking at Bei Le to see what she was up to.

Bei Le didn’t mind Bei Shuo’s unwelcoming attitude at all. She turned around and saw the medicine cabinet that had been transformed from a wine cabinet. She reached out and pulled the glass door open.

Bei Shuo grabbed Bei Le’s wrist.

Bei Le’s expression changed and she said angrily, “What are you doing?”

Bei Shuo exerted some force, grabbed Bei Le’s wrist, and pushed her out. She stood in front of the medicine cabinet and said coldly, “What are you trying to do?! This is my and Mu Ci’s room. You came uninvited and even wanted to rummage through things. Don’t you value upbringing the most? Why? So you don’t have upbringing? Is that why you keep picking on others?”

Bei Le raised her chin and said disdainfully, “Look at your petty appearance. What’s so great about it? Isn’t it just a cabinet? I just want to see what treasures are inside when I see that this cabinet doesn’t match this room at all!”

Bei Shuo was amazed at how thick-skinned she was.

“Since you said that it’s a treasure, of course I can’t show it to you!” Bei Shuo went along with her words.

Bei Le tiptoed to look over Bei Shuo’s shoulder into the cabinet. However, she looked very disapproving. “What treasure can you have? Hmph! It’s only because the Eldest Young Master of the Mu Family gave you face and treated your crap like a treasure. Perhaps others will laugh at you behind your back!”

Bei Shuo moved aside so that Bei Le could see it clearly. “That’s none of your business. Look at these small bottles and jars. They’re all my treasures. I have all kinds of precious medicine here. Hence, Brother Mu Ci gave me this cabinet. He said that he would personally design a prettier cabinet for me. How about that? Are you very envious? After all, I’m the current Eldest Young Madam of the Mu Family!”

“You—” Bei Le was so angry that her face turned red.

Seeing this, Bei Shuo replied with a smug expression.

Bei Le gritted her teeth. “Hmph! Just you wait! I’ll definitely have a higher status than you in the future and live a better life than you!”

Bei Shuo deliberately said, “Is that so? With the Gu Family? Do you think you can have a higher status than me and live a better life than me?”

Bei Le’s face darkened and she said disdainfully, “Tsk! The Gu Family? What is the Gu Family? Let me tell you, Bei Shuo! Don’t be smug. I’ll definitely be stronger than you in the future!”

Bei Shuo was stunned when she heard Bei Le admit it herself. She couldn’t help but ask, “You two grew up together. Gu Ming treats you so well. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll regret it one day and never find someone who treats you so well again?”

Bei Le smiled disdainfully. “Do you care? I’ll give him to you! Anyway, I don’t care!”

It was unnecessary to say another word to stubborn people.

“You’ve already seen it. Now, please leave my room!” Bei Shuo chased her out.

Bei Le had already achieved her goal. She raised her chin, snorted coldly, and walked out with her head held high.
