After Nangong Yun spoke, the Old Madam looked at Baili Xia and slowly said, "What exactly is your relationship with Guisu?"
The Old Madam's gaze seemed to hold a hint of suspicion towards her as well.
Baili Xia steadied herself and softly said, "Guisu's hand was severely injured, and I just happened to help heal it by chance. He's grateful to me and our relationship is quite good."
Seeing that Nangong Yun was once again becoming restless, she continued, "However, I know him well. Guisu has no grudge against the old man; he... it's unlikely he would try to assassinate him."
Originally wanting to defend Guisu, she suddenly thought of something towards the end, and her voice carried a hint of panic.
Indeed, she only considered that Guisu wouldn't harm Sima Liuyue, because there was a master-servant agreement.
But, what if Sima Liuyue ordered him to assassinate the old man?
Guisu had once said that after completing a task for Sima Liuyue within three months, he would be free.
