Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

The next morning, Ye Qing'an had just woken up when she saw Granny Wei rushing over in a hurry: "Miss, something has happened in the manor."

Ye Qing'an's eyes were still somewhat vacant: "Something happened? What happened?"

"I heard that many strange phenomena occurred in the manor last night. This morning, everyone in the manor was talking about it, and they all spoke of it in a very mysterious way, saying that something big might happen in the manor."

Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow. She had never believed in these things before, but since she had been reborn into this body, she was now really unsure whether there were any ghosts or gods in this world.

"What strange phenomenon?" Ye Qing'an threw off the covers and got out of bed.

Granny Wei had been listening outside all morning, and when Ye Qing'an asked this question, she couldn't wait to speak: "I heard from the other servants in the mansion that last night, the water in a well in the mansion turned red, a scarlet like blood, but it wasn't blood."

"They also said that the water in several other wells was boiling, constantly bubbling and emitting white smoke."

"There are also several courtyards in the mansion with many bloody footprints on their walls. The footprints are huge, about half a person's height. We don't know what kind of ferocious monster it is, but the guards in the mansion did not hear any sound. Two or three of the courtyards with bloody footprints are where the concubines of the mansion live."

"Some people also said that around midnight last night, they saw many birds flying low, a dark mass that covered the moon, and they stayed above our Ye Mansion."

"The person in charge of guarding the ancestral hall also discovered this morning that blood droplets seemed to be seeping out from the spirit-testing stone in the mansion, like dew, but they were bright red. It looked particularly horrifying..."

Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "So many?"

“Yes,” Granny Wei quickly replied, “So many strange phenomena have appeared all at once, and the people in the mansion are in a state of panic. Everyone is saying that something or someone in our Ye family has angered the heavens, and this is a warning from the heavens to us.”

When Ye Qing'an heard what Wei Mama said, she narrowed her eyes and looked up at Wei Mama.

When Wei Mama was being stared at like that by Ye Qing'an, she felt a little uneasy. She thought to herself, "I don't think I said anything I shouldn't have. Why is the young lady looking at me like that?"

Ye Qing'an sensed Wei Mama's unease, and simply smiled, "It's nothing. I just feel that so many strange phenomena happening all at once is really... a bit too strange."

Strangely enough, it seems like someone did it on purpose.

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips. She had seen many such things in the palace. These so-called strange phenomena could be manipulated. With so many of them gathered together, it was likely that someone was using the name of natural phenomena to achieve their own goals.

I just don't know what the purpose is.

However, she was just a newcomer to the manor and had not yet established herself. As long as this fire did not reach her, she would just watch the show and see what kind of trouble this mere backyard of the Ye family could cause.

"Yes, it is a bit strange." Granny Wei frowned, but then said, "I went to check those wells that had exhibited strange phenomena earlier, and they looked really frightening. How could they suddenly become like that?"

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Nothing went wrong in our courtyard, did it?"

"No," Granny Wei quickly replied. "I felt uneasy when I came back from the inspection, so I immediately took people to check the entire courtyard inside and out. There was nothing wrong; everything is fine."

"That's fine then." Ye Qing'an didn't take the matter too seriously, only instructing, "Tell everyone in the courtyard to keep their mouths shut and not to gossip with those people outside. If anyone says something they shouldn't and causes trouble, I will definitely investigate to the end."

"Yes." Granny Wei was overjoyed. Ye Qing'an had entrusted her with this task, which was a sign of his trust in her.

She said that the young lady had been lukewarm towards her before, but that was only because they hadn't seen each other for more than four years. The young lady had suffered a lot of hardship and grievances on the estate, so she was now a little more wary.

If we wait a little longer, the young lady will surely trust and rely on her in everything, just as she did more than four years ago.

Ye Qing'an saw through the manipulation behind those so-called strange phenomena and understood that this was just the beginning; the real show was yet to come.

Ye Qing'an had been waiting, hoping that the so-called strange phenomenon would point to a certain person.

However, instead of waiting for the strange phenomenon to show a clear direction, she saw Ye Qinghao return to the mansion with a monk.

"A monk?" Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes slightly. "Where did this monk come from?"

Zixiao quickly replied, "It was Master who personally brought him back to the manor. I heard that he is Abbot Jieran of Ju'an Temple. Abbot Jieran once served as the National Preceptor of our Siyou Kingdom, but because several elders of Ju'an Temple passed away at the same time, Abbot Jieran resigned from the position of National Preceptor and returned to Ju'an Temple to become the abbot."

"I've heard that Abbot Jieran is extremely powerful. When he was the Grand Preceptor, he calculated the fate of our Siyou Kingdom without ever making a mistake."

"Moreover, when he was invited by the Emperor to be the Imperial Preceptor, he said that he could only serve as Imperial Preceptor for four years, that Ju'an Temple would face a calamity, and that he would leave after four years."

"Just as he said, in the fourth year, several elders of Ju'an Temple passed away one after another."

Ye Qing'an tapped her finger lightly on the table: "The former Imperial Advisor? Why would the former Imperial Advisor come to our residence?"

"Who knows?" Zi Xiao pursed her lips. "But everyone in the manor is saying that it was because of the strange phenomena that happened in the manor the night before that the master specially invited Abbot Jieran over."

Ye Qing'an responded. Ye Qinghao had invited him, and given his impressive background, there shouldn't have been any problems.

But if they came because of the strange phenomena in the mansion, then that's another matter.

As Ye Qing'an was pondering this in her heart, she heard voices outside. Shortly after, Granny Wei rushed in and said, "Miss, Master has sent someone to invite all the masters of the mansion to Ying Song Hall in the front courtyard."

Ye Qing'an responded and nodded: "Then let's go."

Ye Qing'an's residence was a little closer to the front courtyard. When she arrived, only one concubine from Ying Song Hall was there. Ye Qing'an glanced at the woman's face and recognized her. This must be the third concubine in the mansion.

Third Aunt greeted Ye Qing'an, and Ye Qing'an nodded and stood in front of Third Aunt.

"Young Miss, something strange happened today. Please be careful."
