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

Liu Xueying's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she stared intently at Ye Qinghao, waiting for him to say that name.

Ye Qinghao's lips curled into a mocking smile: "There is only one person, Ye Qing'an. Ye Qing'an entered the palace with Wei Lan, so there are many opportunities to make a move."

Liu Xueying lowered her eyes, looking guilty: "Qing'an already has a child, and her reputation wasn't...not very good before. Although Qing'an's temperament has changed a lot now, she is still a good child at heart. This matter concerns the future of the Ye family. If you talk to her properly, I believe Qing'an will understand and agree."

Ye Qinghao merely glanced at Liu Xueying casually, remaining silent for a long time.

Liu Xueying felt a little uneasy, but once the words were spoken, there was no way to take them back.

"Alright, I understand." Ye Qinghao put one hand behind his back. "I will consider this matter myself."

"Yes, then I will take my leave. Wei Lan is still unconscious, I will go back and check on her."

Ye Qinghao waved his hand, and Liu Xueying withdrew, leaving the main courtyard with her maids and servants.

Leaving the main courtyard and turning a corner, you'll find a bamboo grove.

Liu Xueying walked along the corridor into the bamboo forest, and her expression turned cold: "Ye Qing'an is a jinx. Ever since she returned to the manor, everything has gone wrong, and now she has even caused Wei Lan to get into trouble."

After saying that, she turned to the old woman behind her and questioned her, "Did you really put the powder on Ye Qing'an's clothes? Why does Ye Qing'an seem perfectly fine, but Wei Lan is the one who got into trouble?"

“I really did put it on the clothes we sent to Ye Qing’an. Madam and the Second Miss both saw it with their own eyes, and I watched Ye Qing’an change into the new clothes. I really don’t know what’s going on. I’m puzzled too. When I saw Ye Qing’an just now, she was still wearing the clothes we sent over. Why didn’t she have an attack? Could there be something wrong with the powder?”

"Let's find someone to try it!" Liu Xueying narrowed her eyes: "Let's also investigate the people who have been in contact with that itching powder, and see if there is anyone who has betrayed us and secretly tipped off Ye Qing'an."

“Yes.” Granny Li bowed her head and replied, “This servant will investigate thoroughly.”

Liu Xueying stopped in her tracks, her brow furrowed, a sense of unease creeping into her heart: "Do you think Master will agree to make Ye Qing'an the scapegoat?"

"Yes, it will." Granny Li naturally understood what Liu Xueying wanted to hear: "Master has always known that the interests of our Ye family are paramount. It's better to damage Miss Wei Lan's reputation than to let Ye Qing'an bear the blame for framing her sister. No matter how you weigh it, Miss Wei Lan's reputation is more important."

"After all, Ye Qing'an's reputation was already ruined because of her premarital pregnancy, and she was also a useless person who couldn't cultivate, so she was of no use to the Ye family..."

"That's true." Liu Xueying felt relieved. "She's just a piece of trash, with nothing but that face. That little slut can't see her own situation and keeps going against me. I'll show her what happens when you go against me."

Liu Xueying snorted coldly: "And that idiot Ye Feiran, he can't even handle a small matter properly, he's always causing trouble. Today I sent him to Ye Qing'an to cause trouble for a while, but Ye Qing'an tricked me out of him with just a few words. Useless thing. If I had known he was so stupid and almost dragged me into this, I should have killed him long ago."

"Madam, please don't worry," Li Mama comforted her softly. "With the Second Young Master's appearance and temperament, he'll cause trouble sooner or later. When that happens, not only the Second Young Master, but also the Eldest Miss will inevitably be implicated. Master will certainly not tolerate them."

Liu Xueying took a deep breath, but still felt incredibly restless: "Sooner or later, I feel like I can't wait any longer."

As soon as Liu Xueying finished speaking, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. She turned her head, biting her lip, and looked at Granny Li: "Ye Feiran won't cause trouble on his own, but well, I could... give him another push. After all, I've raised him with great care, and he's naturally impatient. If someone were to fan the flames in his ear..."

“I don’t want to just watch Ye Qing’an gain a foothold in this mansion. I have to take advantage of the fact that she has just returned to the mansion and her foundation is not yet stable.”

The more Liu Xueying spoke, the more convinced she became of her idea: "I don't want to do something like raising a tiger that will cause me trouble."

Liu Xueying looked around for a while, then beckoned to Granny Li with her finger and whispered something in her ear. After a while, Granny Li straightened up and respectfully replied, "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely take care of this matter for you as soon as possible."

"Make sure it's done properly. It's best if you do everything yourself to avoid a repeat of today's accident," Liu Xueying instructed.

Granny Li readily agreed and walked away with Liu Xueying.

The bamboo forest was quiet and still. A breeze rustled through the bamboo leaves. After a while, a voice rang out from the depths of the forest. The voice was clear and melodious, but the words seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm: "Did you see that? Isn't that the 'mother' you keep saying is so good to you, even better than your own mother? Did you hear clearly what she said?"

But it was Ye Qing'an and Ye Feiran, the siblings who should have left long ago.

Ye Feiran's face was deathly pale, filled with disbelief. He trembled all over, his flesh shaking as he cried out, "No, my mother would never do this to me! It must be you!"

Ye Feiran shook her head, her heart filled with grief: "It must be you, you witch! Did you use some kind of evil magic? The one who just passed by wasn't my mother at all, was she?"

Ye Qing'an scoffed: "If you want to deceive yourself like this, then I have nothing to say. If you think I used evil magic, you can go and ask your good mother yourself, ask her if those words just now came from her mouth, and ask her why she raised you to be like this."

Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Ye Feiran indeed intended to leave to find Liu Xueying for questioning, muttering to herself, "That's right, I'll go ask my mother. I don't believe what you, you shrew, are saying. My mother is so good to me, she wouldn't do that."

"Haha..." Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ye Feiran paused in her tracks: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Ye Qing'an waved his hand. "I was just thinking, no wonder your mother called you an idiot, you really are incredibly stupid."

Ye Feiran was furious. She stomped her foot and was about to pounce on Ye Qing'an when she heard Ye Qing'an say, "You know such a big secret about Liu Xueying, and you know that she is planning to kill you and me by all means. Yet you still went to ask her. Do you think she will kill you to silence you and then try to cover it up? Or will she let you leave her safely and give you the opportunity to spread this matter everywhere?"
