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

Ye Qing'an had already returned to the Cloud Dream Realm with Jiu Xiao. Jiu Xiao's gaze remained fixed on the box in Ye Qing'an's hand: "A man using a box like this? I think he might be a bit of a pervert."

Ye Qing'an glanced at him but remained silent.

Jiuxiao coughed lightly: "Shall we go and get those spirit-testing stones now?"

“No need, we’ll go tomorrow night.” Ye Qing’an chose a stone by the lake and began to meditate: “We’re going to open the ancestral hall, and the servants in the mansion will definitely clean it tomorrow. I’m afraid someone might clean the spirit-testing stone.”

Jiuxiao nodded: "That's true, then let's go tomorrow."

“I really think there’s something wrong with that man named Xu Mo. There are just too many suspicious points. You say he’s Consort Lan’s male favorite, but Consort Lan is a consort. How could she allow her male favorite to practice such evil magic? And his evil magic is so powerful, isn’t Consort Lan afraid?”

"And while he was in the palace, he could at least wear a mask to avoid being seen, but why would he wear a mask in his own residence?"

"Furthermore, just because you discovered his secret, he wants to make a deal with you? Why not just kill you? The dead are the best at keeping secrets. With his abilities, that shouldn't be difficult for him, right?"

"I always felt that he was hiding something, and that his approach to you must have some ulterior motive or scheme..."

Jiu Xiao kept muttering to himself, and Ye Qing'an finally couldn't take it anymore. She raised her eyes and looked at him coldly.

Jiu Xiao felt Ye Qing'an's gaze and his heart skipped a beat, but he still forced a smile and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just afraid that you've been deceived without even realizing it, so I'm just reminding you."

"So what do you think I have that he would want from me?"

"You..." Jiu Xiao was stumped. His gaze fell on Ye Qing'an. What did she have to do with him?

Jiu Xiao bit her finger. Although Ye Qing'an was beautiful, she was already nineteen, an old woman. She was previously known as a good-for-nothing in Wangjing City and was not favored in the Ye family. Now she was also taking care of this four-year-old child.

It seems... there's nothing worth pursuing?

Seeing the change in Jiu Xiao's expression, Ye Qing'an knew what he was thinking. She just glanced at him and said, "If you seem bored now, why don't you help me find out some information around the manor?"

Ye Qing'an really didn't want to have such a noisy snake around, saying, "I've been back in the manor for two days now, and there should be some discussions about it in various places. In particular, please keep an eye on Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan for me."

"Yesterday, Liu Xueying must have said something to Ye Qinghao, trying to get him to make me a scapegoat for Ye Weilan. But yesterday I told Ye Qinghao that I can cultivate and that I am a Holy Spirit Body, so Ye Qinghao will definitely not do as Liu Xueying wishes."

"Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan must be furious, right?" Jiu Xiao's eyes darted around. "Fine, I'll go and wait in those places for you to see what happens."

Jiuxiao was known for his impulsive nature; the moment he finished speaking, he had vanished without a trace.

Finally, I got some peace and quiet.

Ye Qing'an let out a long sigh and began to gather his energy and meditate.

Soon, she discovered that the spiritual energy in this Dreamland was indeed as abundant as Jiuxiao had said. Not only abundant, but also extremely pure. Cultivating here made her cultivation speed more than four or five times faster.

Thinking back on the days she had wasted, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly.

She remembered that stupid snake.

The next day, news of Ye Weilan's embarrassment in the palace had already spread like wildfire.

Although Ye Qing'an did not leave the manor, she could occasionally hear the servants talking: "They said that the Second Miss looked very unsightly at the time, her clothes were disheveled, and she kept scratching herself all over..."

"The Second Miss must really be feeling unwell, right? She is usually very poised and elegant, but she has never been like this before."

"Yes, but that's the problem. There are rumors outside that the second young lady has contracted some strange disease, and some people say that venereal disease can cause this."

"Are those people crazy? How could the Second Miss have contracted that kind of disease?"

"Even if it's not that kind of thing, this matter is still extremely detrimental to the Second Miss's reputation. Everyone says that the imperial physician was there at the time, but he couldn't figure out what kind of strange illness it was. Even the imperial physician couldn't cure it, and the attacks were so severe. If this is true, think about it, which family would dare to marry the Second Miss in the future?"

"Some people say that the second young lady was tricked and drugged. Tell me, it was the eldest young lady who drugged her."

As Ye Qing'an sat in the main hall reading and drinking tea, she noticed that someone was secretly watching her. Ye Qing'an sneered inwardly, thinking, "Do they really think she's deaf and can't hear anything?"

"Have you said enough?" Ye Qing'an raised her eyes, her expression indifferent, but it made the gossiping people outside shudder and their hearts jump: "Please forgive me, Miss!"

Ye Qing'an had already stood up and strolled over to them: "You still know that I am the eldest young lady? Although I am not particularly favored in this mansion, I am still the rightful eldest young lady and your mistress. Since I am your mistress, I will not allow you to make up stories about me."

Ye Qing'an's voice was calm, but it made the maids outside the door feel a sense of oppression. The four maids looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes.

Someone had already knelt down: "Young Miss, spare us! Young Miss, spare us!"

"Spare my life? Weren't you all having a good time gossiping just now?" Ye Qing'an looked down at them and sneered, "You were all sent by the Madam. You all know why she sent you here, and I know it too."

"Perhaps you look down on me, this useless young lady, but if I wanted to deal with you, it would be a piece of cake. I only need to..." Ye Qing paused, a slight smile playing on her lips, a ruthless glint in her eyes: "I only need to find some excuse to kick you out."

“Madam Ye sent you here on a mission, but not only did you fail to complete it, you were kicked out of my house after less than three days for gossiping. Guess how Madam Ye will treat you?”

With just a few words, he made the thoughts of the four maids crystal clear.

All four of them tensed up, and a genuine sense of fear began to rise in their hearts.

“Young Miss, Young Miss, this servant was wrong. This servant shouldn’t have gossiped and spread rumors. Young Miss, you can slap this servant's mouth, you can scold this servant. But this servant came sincerely to take care of Young Miss, please don’t send us away. We will definitely serve Young Miss well from now on…”
