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

Ye Qinghao, still fuming, grew even more displeased at the sight of the steward's hurried manner: "What's the rush?"

The steward said anxiously, "Master, Consort Lan has sent someone!"

"Consort Lan?" Ye Qinghao found it strange. Consort Lan had never had any dealings with the Ye family. In recent years, because of the Duan Prince's matter, she had been living a secluded life and had not been involved in worldly affairs. Why would she suddenly send someone here?

"Yes, the people sent by Consort Lan said that the eldest young lady is Consort Lan's savior. Consort Lan is grateful for the eldest young lady's life-saving grace and specially sent people to deliver many gifts."

"What? What savior?" Everyone in the room looked at Ye Qing'an, but Ye Qing'an also had a blank expression on her face.

Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan's expressions had already changed. Seeing Ye Qing'an's look, they quickly spoke up: "Is Consort Lan mistaken?"

"The person sent by Consort Lan made it very clear that it was the eldest young lady who saved her. This old servant has also carefully verified that her name is Ye Qing'an and she was accompanied by a four-year-old boy. The person also said that Consort Lan personally brought the eldest young lady into Wangjing City and escorted her to a place not far from the Ye residence before they parted ways."

Ye Qing'an seemed to suddenly come to her senses, her eyes widening: "I did save a woman a few days ago. She said her husband's family was in Wangjing. Knowing that I was going back to Wangjing, she gave us a ride and asked me some questions about my situation along the way."

Ye Qing'an looked astonished: "She's actually a Noble Consort? No wonder I felt she had an extraordinary bearing and exuded nobility before."

The servant hurriedly replied, "The people sent by Consort Lan are still waiting in the flower hall, saying they will personally deliver the reward to the young lady."

The people in the room remained silent for a moment. After a while, Ye Qinghao took a deep breath, flicked his sleeves, and strode out of the main hall: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up!"

Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and responded softly, concealing the mockery in her eyes, and followed.

Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan exchanged a glance, completely bewildered as to why things had suddenly turned out this way, but they hurriedly followed behind.

The front courtyard of the flower hall was already filled with all sorts of gift boxes, and the palace servants carrying the boxes stood on both sides with practiced discipline. Two people were waiting in front of the flower hall, a eunuch and a palace maid. As soon as they saw Ye Qinghao and his group enter the courtyard, the two of them came down from the steps.

"Lord Ye." His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

Ye Qinghao nodded and patiently exchanged pleasantries: "I didn't know that Consort Lan had returned to the palace."

"She had only recently returned to the palace. Previously, the Imperial Concubine had been praying at Kongming Temple, but unexpectedly, she had an accident a few days ago. Fortunately, Miss Ye rescued her and she escaped danger. When Prince Rui heard about this in Wangjing, he was extremely worried, which is why he hurriedly brought the Imperial Concubine back."

Ye Qinghao felt inexplicably irritated, but he didn't show it on his face: "It's her blessing to be able to help the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine doesn't need to be like this..."

The palace maid who had been standing silently to the side finally spoke up: "Miss Ye is the Imperial Concubine's... savior."

"A life-saving grace is something I would accept no matter how generous the gift."

Ye Qinghao was taken aback by Wen Wen's polite and courteous manner, which made him even more irritable. However, Consort Lan did not appear in public much these days, but she was still highly favored by His Majesty and could not be offended.

"Yes, yes, Aunt is right." Ye Qinghao replied, turning to Ye Qing'an: "Aren't you going to thank her?"

Ye Qing'an stepped forward as instructed, but before she could bow, the palace maid helped her up: "Miss Ye, no need for formalities. After Her Majesty returned to the palace, she said that she was saved by you, and that you two hit it off immediately. The young master is also very cute. She said that she hopes that you can come to the palace to talk to her more often when you are settled in your residence."

"Yes." Ye Qing'an replied with her head down: "I also had a very pleasant conversation with Her Majesty and learned a lot from her. I am fortunate to have her favor."

The palace maid laughed: "Her Majesty also said that Miss Ye is gentle, kind, knowledgeable, and has the demeanor of a lady from a prominent family."

After the palace maid finished speaking, she looked up at Ye Qing'an and bowed again: "The things have been delivered for Your Highness, so I will take my leave now. In a few days, I will come to fetch you to the palace for a chat with Your Highness."

"Yes, take it to Auntie."

After the palace servants left in a large group, Ye Qinghao turned to Ye Qing'an and asked, "What exactly happened? Weren't you staying at that estate? How did you get involved with the Imperial Concubine?"

"Yes, I did stay at the estate before."

“But as my daughter just said, some time ago, the people on the estate tried to harm me and Eleven, but for some reason a giant python suddenly appeared, killed those people on the estate, and sucked their blood.”

"Everyone in the village is dead, only Eleven and I are left. I'm so scared, so I thought about going back to Wangjing."

“My sister came to the manor that day. I wanted her to take me back with her, but she refused and told me to stay there and keep the corpses company.”

"But I was so scared that after my sister left, I hurriedly left the village."

"But I got lost as soon as I left the village and ended up in a mountain forest. I was with the child and didn't dare to travel at night. Then it suddenly started raining, so I had to take Eleven to a dilapidated temple."

"Who would have thought that as soon as I entered that dilapidated temple, I saw a large, silvery-white python carrying a person in its mouth as it passed through the temple. The python seemed to be injured as well. Although I was very scared at the time, I saw that the noblewoman it was carrying in its mouth was also on the verge of death, so I quietly approached and used the machete in my hand to slash at the python..."

"The python was already injured, and after my attack, it seemed to be frightened, so it dropped the lady and left."

"The noble lady was injured, so I had to stay with her in that dilapidated temple to recuperate. During the day, we would go into the woods to gather game and wild vegetables to eat. After several days, her servants finally came to fetch her. Knowing that I was returning to Wangjing, she asked me to go with her. I never expected that she would actually be the Imperial Concubine..."

Ye Qinghao frowned, but before he could speak, Ye Weilan mocked, "This is such a ridiculous lie! The Imperial Concubine has so many guards, and every one of them is a master. The python that could take someone away from them would abandon them just because you cut it once?"

Ye Qing'an looked up at her: "What do you mean by that, sister? Do you think that the Imperial Concubine and I are making up these stories to deceive you?"
