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

Ye Qing'an smiled but remained silent. She knew perfectly well why Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan were arguing.

Seeing Ye Qing'an's reaction, Zi Xiao seemed to understand something and showed a bit of disbelief on her face. But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that when those scary people mentioned it, they also vaguely mentioned that before the Second Miss and Madam had a dispute, the Eldest Miss and Madam had met in the back garden and talked for a while.

If the reason for the dispute between the second young lady and the madam is the eldest young lady, then this eldest young lady is indeed not to be underestimated.

Zixiao was startled, but somewhat relieved that after hesitating all night, she had made the decision to seek refuge with the young lady.

Since Ye Qing'an wasn't particularly interested in this matter, Zi Xiao quickly added, "Master and Madam have always had a good relationship, but recently, Master has rarely spent the night in Madam's courtyard. The day before yesterday was the fifteenth, and according to the custom in the manor, Master usually stays in Madam's room on the first and fifteenth of the month, but the day before yesterday, Master went to the sixth concubine's room in the back courtyard."

This is something new.

Ye Qing'an chuckled: "Wouldn't the lady be furious?"

"Of course she was furious. I heard she smashed a lot of things in her room that night. But Madam is usually so virtuous and generous. The next day, when she opened the courtyard gate, she still had to greet people with a smile. Even the next day, when Sixth Concubine said she was feeling unwell and didn't go to the main courtyard to pay her respects, Madam still specially had someone prepare things and send them over, telling her to rest well."

Something interesting.

Ye Qing'an thought to herself that she hadn't been back at the manor for long, and she had been busy taking care of Ye Qinghao and Liu Xueying and her daughter, so she didn't have much free time to find out about the other people in the manor.

But hearing Zixiao say this now reminded her of something.

There were concubines in Qinghao's backyard that night.

Even Liu Xueying was originally a concubine who was promoted to the rank of principal wife.

Because Liu Xueying was originally a concubine who was promoted to the position of principal wife, Ye Qing'an guessed that Liu Xueying must dislike the concubines in the backyard even more than the ordinary principal wife.

In that case, she might as well associate more with Ye Qinghao's other concubines. Perhaps she could make some interesting discoveries.

"How are the concubines in the household?"

Zixiao said she was good at judging situations, tactful, and clever, and she wasn't exaggerating.

Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's question, Zi Xiao immediately understood what Ye Qing'an truly wanted to ask.

"Among the concubines in the mansion, the most capable and scheming is the third concubine, who is also the most secretive. Moreover, the third concubine has a blood feud with the madam for killing her son."

"The hatred of killing one's son?" Ye Qing'an murmured these four words, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but she did not ask where Zi Xiao got this information that sounded so secretive: "I know."

Zi Xiao swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, thinking to herself that the young lady still didn't trust her enough.

But she wasn't in a hurry. Ye Qing'an didn't ask, so she just stood there silently.

That night, after returning to the Cloud Dream Realm, Ye Qing'an did not rush to start cultivating. Instead, she instructed Jiu Xiao, "Go to Lan Ting Xiao Zhu for me."

"Huh?" Jiu Xiao looked reluctant. "Go to Lan Ting Xiao Zhu? Are we going to see that cruel and heartless Xu Mo again? What are we going to do?"

"That Lanting Xiaozhu isn't some kind of hellhole, why are you acting like this?" Ye Qing'an scoffed, but only ordered, "Go to Lanting Xiaozhu and tell Xu Mo that tomorrow morning, Ye Qinghao will take me to become a disciple of Master Lingjun."

Jiuxiao was somewhat bewildered: "Why did you need to tell him when you went to become his disciple?"

Ye Qing'an did not explain, but just stared at him.

"..." Jiu Xiao was silent for a while, then sighed, "Fine, fine, I won't ask. Look at your face, why is it so long?"

He spoke without asking any questions, but kept muttering to himself, "What the play says is true. A new generation replaces the old, and we only see the new people laughing while we hear no cries from the old. Alas, I, an old person, am afraid I am about to fall out of favor."

Before he could finish speaking, he sensed something flying towards him from behind. Jiuxiao hurriedly dodged and quickly disappeared into the Dreamland of Clouds.

The next morning, Ye Qinghao indeed sent someone to tell Ye Qing'an to get ready and go out to become a disciple.

Ye Qing'an changed her clothes, picked up Eleven, and went out through the second gate. There she saw Ye Qinghao already waiting by the carriage.

Upon seeing Eleven, Ye Qinghao's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, before he seemed to remember something: "Speaking of which, your child is also considered a member of the Ye family, but he doesn't seem to have undergone the spirit stone trial, does he? When will you choose an auspicious day to give him a trial as well?"

Ye Qing'an paused slightly, then bowed her head in agreement. In her heart, she was thinking that if Eleven were to undergo the spirit stone trial, she would inevitably have to ask Xu Mo for some of that medicinal powder again.

I did him a favor today so that it would be useful in the future, but I never expected that I would need it so soon.

Once on the carriage, Eleven turned to Ye Qing'an and asked, "Mother, do I also have to participate in the spirit stone trial? If I'm not talented, will I be expelled from the Ye family, just like you were back then?"

"What are you thinking about all day?" Ye Qing'an chuckled and tapped his head. "No way, my Eleven is so smart, how could his talent be lacking?"

"Don't worry about these things. I can still protect you, a child who is only half a child."

Eleven's eyes darted around, and it was unclear what he was planning.

Ye Qing'an found it amusing and asked him, "How's things going on your end lately?"

Eleven immediately straightened up: "Mother, you can rest assured about what I do. That night, Fei Ran didn't seem very bright. I only had to guide him a little, and he took the bait. I even used reverse psychology on him. Mother, just wait and see the results."

A method of provoking generals?

Ye Qing'an laughed. This little kid already knows how to use reverse psychology.

“My uncle is a bit stupid, but with me watching over him, I will never allow that wicked woman to use him to deal with my mother.”

Ye Qing'an smiled and simply raised her hand to ruffle Eleven's hair: "Eleven is so amazing, then I'll wait and see the show."

The mother and son were talking when the carriage suddenly stopped.

Ye Qing'an paused, narrowed her eyes slightly, and lifted the curtain to look outside.

Upon seeing this, Zixiao, who was following beside the carriage, quickly whispered, "Miss, there are too many people blocking the road ahead, and our people can't get through."

Ye Qing'an nodded, then peeked out at the layers of people: "Do you know what happened?"

"Master has already sent someone to inquire. I listened carefully and it sounded like someone was seeking medical help."

"Seeking medical help?" Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes slightly, and a guess formed in her mind: "With so many people, it's probably not going to be possible to get through in a short time. I'll go down and take a look."
