"Does my sister know who you suspect?"

"Or do you think I have the ability to command a giant python to break through the heavy guards and bring the Imperial Concubine out, and then pretend to save her?"

Ye Weilan was suddenly choked. Yes, that was Consort Lan. Ye Qing'an had never had any dealings with Consort Lan before, so Consort Lan would not have lied for her.

And Ye Qing'an could not possibly abduct the Imperial Concubine.

"My sister is a young lady of the Ye family, and her words and actions represent the Ye family. It's fine if our own family hears such things, but if it gets out and others find out, or even if it reaches the ears of the Imperial Concubine, what will others think?"

"you……"

Before Ye Weilan could argue further, Ye Qinghao, who had been standing to the side, suddenly interrupted her, saying, "That's enough."

Ye Weilan was furious. She flicked her sleeve, gritted her teeth, and stood aside, staring fiercely at Ye Qing'an.

Ye Qinghao didn't notice Ye Weilan's expression and said directly to Ye Qing'an, "Since you're back, then stay here."

Then he instructed Liu Xueying: "Go and clean up the courtyard where she used to live, and send some daily necessities over. The Imperial Concubine may summon her in the future, so send someone over to serve her and teach her palace etiquette and manners properly, so as not to disgrace our Ye family."

Liu Xueying gritted her teeth, about to respond, when Ye Qing'an spoke again.

"father."

“I just went back to the courtyard where I used to live. No one has lived there for a long time. It’s overgrown with weeds, and some of the roof tiles have fallen off. It’s probably going to leak when it rains. Could you please ask Father to send more people to help me take care of it?”

Ye Qinghao paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then let's change the courtyard, let's change it to... Qingxiang Pavilion."

After Ye Qinghao finished speaking, he left directly.

Ye Qing'an smiled at Liu Xueying and her daughter: "Then, I'll trouble you, Mother."

Liu Xueying was furious, her teeth clenched, but she finally managed a smile: "You're really lucky."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, I think so too. Who would have thought that the person I casually saved would be the Imperial Concubine?"

"In the end, we have to thank my sister. Five years ago, if it weren't for your scheming, and a few days ago, if you hadn't refused to take us back to the Ye residence, none of this would have happened."

Ye Weilan's eyes reddened with anger, while Liu Xueying clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, her sharp nails digging into her palms, causing a sharp pain.

"Good luck is only temporary. Do you really think that the Imperial Concubine can protect you forever?"

“From now on, you will be living in the Ye residence. No matter how noble or powerful the Imperial Concubine is, she can't possibly extend her influence into the Ye residence. Do you think that by staying here, you've already won?”

"One day, you will regret it. You have a long time to live, so just wait and see."

“Okay.” Ye Qing’an smiled, her eyes crinkling. “Then I’ll wait.”

After saying that, she casually pointed to the gift boxes in the courtyard: "These are all things that the Imperial Concubine gave me. I'll trouble Mother to send them to Qingxiang Pavilion."

After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she took Eleven's hand again: "Eleven, let's go."

As soon as Ye Qing'an left, the smile that had been on Liu Xueying's face vanished instantly, replaced by a ferocious expression: "You bitch!"

Ye Weilan was also furious: "Mother, are we really going to keep this little bitch here? I feel disgusted just looking at her face."

"What can be done? Your father was originally prepared to beat her to death with sticks, but who would have thought that Consort Lan would suddenly appear."

"So what if she stays? She's just a piece of trash. Dealing with her is easy enough. It's fine this way. With her under our noses, her every move is under our control. It'll be much easier for us to do whatever we want with her, won't it?"

"Wouldn't it be better to find ways to bully and humiliate her every day, and watch her struggle in a humble manner?"

"It is very good." Ye Weilan bit her lip, but she always felt that Ye Qing'an had changed too much compared to before. Could she really still let them humiliate her as they did before?

But when his gaze fell on the gift boxes that filled almost half the courtyard, the hesitation in his heart quickly dissipated.

"Mother, are we really going to move these rewards to Ye Qing'an's place? Does that country bumpkin like Ye Qing'an deserve such good things?"

"You shallow-minded thing!" Liu Xueying glared at Ye Weilan: "Why did Consort Lan send these things over at this time? And why did she have the maid say those things? It's obvious that she wants to tell us that Ye Qing'an has her backing, and if we want to touch Ye Qing'an, we have to think twice."

"The item was delivered, and the person had just left when you took it for yourself. Are you worried that others won't be able to find fault with you?"

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth: "Of course I know all this, but I'm just not willing to accept it!"

"Unwilling to accept it?" Liu Xueying narrowed her eyes: "No matter how unwilling you are, you still have to put on a good show so that others can't find any fault with you."

"If we want to cause trouble for her, we must be fully prepared so that others have no reason to blame us."

"Bear with it. Ye Qing'an is just a country bumpkin, crude and vulgar, with no spiritual roots. The Imperial Concubine may protect her for a while, but one day she will get tired of her and become fed up with her. At that time, won't she just become a grasshopper in our palm?"

"As for these things..."

Liu Xueying pursed her lips: "Since these things have been sent to our residence, they naturally belong to us. They are just temporarily kept with Ye Qing'an. You watch how I make Ye Qing'an spit these things out little by little."

Although Ye Weilan felt aggrieved, she understood that Liu Xueying's words made sense and were the best solution, so she nodded in agreement.

Liu Xueying's gaze swept over the rows of mahogany gift chests in the courtyard, her eyes darkening. She turned to the maid beside her and asked, "Are the eldest and second young masters about to return to the manor?"

The maidservant quickly nodded in response: "It's almost noon, the eldest and second young masters should be returning to the manor soon."

Liu Xueying nodded, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Send someone to wait at the gate of the mansion and invite the eldest young master and the second young master to my courtyard."

Ye Weilan was puzzled: "Mother can just see my eldest brother, why does she have to see that idiot Ye Feiran?"

Liu Xueying sneered: "Don't forget, Ye Feiran is that little bitch's own brother. Her mother risked her life to give birth to this bastard, and now I've raised him into that kind of person. I wonder what Ye Qing'an will think when he sees him?"

"Ah!" Ye Weilan suddenly came to her senses, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes: "Indeed, it's something to look forward to..."
