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

"Serve me well?" Ye Qing'an laughed out loud as if she had heard a funny joke.

"Alright, I hope you will serve me well as you say, otherwise..." Ye Qing'an did not finish her sentence, but the four maids kneeling on the ground could not help but shiver.

As soon as Ye Qing'an returned to the Cloud Dream Realm, she saw Jiu Xiao standing to the side, seemingly waiting for her on purpose, his eyes shining brightly: "The rumors about Ye Weilan outside have gone viral. Don't you want to go out and listen and see for yourself? After all, this is the result of your hard work..."

"What's so interesting?" Ye Qing'an scoffed. "I can almost guess what kind of rumors are circulating outside without even thinking. Besides, if I were to go and see the joke now, it would just make people think that I'm involved in this matter and that I'm petty."

"Tsk..." Jiu Xiao thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense. So he changed the subject: "Those maids, since you know why Liu Xueying sent them here, why don't you send them away? Or give them a taste of your power and let them see how powerful you are. Then they will be afraid of you and won't dare to gossip anymore?"

Ye Qing'an sat down on a rock by the lake with an indifferent expression and began to meditate: "Now this mansion is full of Liu Xueying's people. Even if I drive these few away, Liu Xueying will continue to send new people. Why should I waste my time?"

"As for giving them a show of force..." Ye Qing'an curled the corners of his mouth: "There's a saying that if you use violence to suppress these servants, they will indeed be afraid of you, but they will also become more and more dissatisfied with you in their hearts. They might even secretly bite you in the future. And when these servants bite you, it might not be so hard."

"Besides, I'm also thinking that perhaps one of these four maids knows that a wise bird chooses its tree and will choose to betray Liu Xueying and submit to me?"

Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Jiu Xiao's lips twitched involuntarily: "Betray Liu Xueying? Submit to you?"

In the eyes of the servants outside, Ye Qing'an was merely a woman without spiritual roots who had been expelled from the Ye family mansion for being pregnant due to an affair. The Ye family only allowed her to stay temporarily because she was Ye Qinghao's daughter and had nowhere else to turn.

However, Liu Xueying is now the mistress of this Ye Mansion.

Between Ye Qing'an and Liu Xueying, choosing between them is almost a no-brainer.

Jiu Xiao slightly raised his eyes, glanced at Ye Qing'an, and then coughed lightly, trying to subtly change the subject: "The servants in the manor already know about those rumors, and Ye Weilan and Liu Xueying must have heard about them as well. Why haven't they made any moves?"

"If you want to go see the joke, go ahead. Don't delay my training." Ye Qing'an said, then closed his eyes.

While Ye Qing'an was cultivating with her eyes closed, Jiu Xiao quickly rolled her eyes.

Before he could finish rolling his eyes, Ye Qing'an's voice rang out again: "Next time you roll your eyes, you'd better do it when I'm not around."

Jiu Xiao was startled and hurriedly looked at Ye Qing'an, only to find that her eyes were tightly closed and there was no sign of her opening them.

Does this person have an extra pair of eyes compared to ordinary people? How could they notice this?

Jiu Xiao cursed inwardly, but dared not linger. He quickly went to the courtyard where Ye Weilan lived and hid on the beam of the house.

Just as he had expected, Ye Weilan and Liu Xueying had already heard the rumors. Liu Xueying was currently in Ye Weilan's room.

Ye Weilan's face was full of irritation: "Didn't Mother say that Father had already agreed to use Ye Qing'an as a scapegoat and spread the rumors that she drugged me and framed me?"

"Why is it that I haven't heard any news about Ye Qing'an harming me outside, but all I hear are rumors about me?"

Liu Xueying had just come from Ye Qinghao's place, and her face was also very pale: "Your father did agree yesterday, but I don't know what happened. When I asked him just now, he suddenly changed his mind and said there was no need to rush..."

"Not worried?" Ye Weilan's eyes widened. "How can I not be worried? Mother, do you know what those rumors are saying outside?"

"They said I behaved as rudely as a monkey, completely lacking the manners and demeanor expected of a lady from a respectable family. They said I was dissolute and disheveled, and that besides the young ladies from noble families, even the palace guards and imperial physicians saw what I looked like at the time, and felt that I had no right to be innocent."

Ye Weilan trembled with anger as she recalled the rumors: "If these rumors are allowed to continue, how am I supposed to get married? Forget about getting married, how am I supposed to establish myself in Wangjing City?"

Liu Xueying gritted her teeth inwardly: "You are my daughter, and this situation is naturally something I didn't want to see. I'm anxious too, but your father told us to wait. What can I do?"

"Although I am now the mistress of the Ye family, it is only the Ye family. My family is weak and has little influence in the aristocratic circles of Wangjing City. I can't possibly shut up those young ladies from aristocratic families."

Ye Weilan glanced at Liu Xueying, concealing the dissatisfaction in her eyes, and after a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "You said that Father agreed yesterday, but suddenly changed his mind today. Do you know why? Do you know who Father has met and what has happened from yesterday to today?"

"Although I have control over the Ye Manor, there are places within it that I cannot interfere with, and that is your father's main courtyard..."

Hearing Liu Xueying say this, Ye Weilan became even more annoyed: "If you can't do this and you can't do that, does that mean you should just ignore those rumors and let them continue to spread? Wouldn't all the reputation I've worked so hard to maintain be ruined in an instant?"

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth: "I will not allow it, I absolutely will not allow it..."

Liu Xueying forced herself to calm down: "Don't worry, let me think of something...think of something..."

Ye Weilan lowered her head, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, hatred almost consuming her completely.

Liu Xueying hesitated for a long time before suddenly raising her head: "It's just rumors that Ye Qing'an framed you. If Master won't allow it, we can bribe some people to spread them..."

"Even if your father finds out and asks about it, we just need to deny that we did it."

"By then, the rumors will have already spread, the die is cast, and even if someone wants to investigate, there will be no way to do so..."

A glint of light flashed in Ye Weilan's eyes: "Good! Good, good! That's one way too. We can just spread the news that I was framed by Ye Qing'an. Then I can act like a victim and gain a lot of sympathy. And I can also..."

Ye Weilan narrowed her eyes, an idea forming in her mind.
