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

With Zixiao around, Ye Qing'an can quickly find out what's happening in the manor from her.

"At that time, there were only the master, the madam, and the steward in the main courtyard. No one knows what they talked about. All that is known is that after the madam left the main courtyard and returned to her own courtyard, she locked the courtyard and refused to see any guests. The steward also sent two people to guard the gate of the madam's courtyard. It was as if she was under house arrest."

"Then, the steward went in and took out the keys to the storeroom and the household account books, and handed them to the sixth concubine, saying that the madam was unwell and that the master wanted her to take care of the household affairs in order to allow her to focus on her recovery."

As Zixiao spoke, she glanced down at Ye Qing'an, only to find that Ye Qing'an's expression was completely calm, without a trace of surprise.

Zixiao's heart trembled, and she was extremely grateful that she had chosen to rely on this young lady.

Actually, when she decided to pledge allegiance, she still had a backup plan. She thought that if she misjudged the young lady and she wasn't as clever as she thought, she could still regain her identity as the lady's informant...

But now it seems that this young lady is much more capable than she had imagined.

Zi Xiao lowered her eyes, concealing the tremor in her heart: "Although that's true, everyone in the manor has eyes. Since the lady was promoted to the rank of principal wife, she has been ill before, but she has never relinquished her power because of illness. In addition, the lady appeared in the manor this morning. She didn't look sick at all. So now there are many speculations in the manor."

"Some say it's because the lady has lost favor, others say it's because she made a mistake; there are all sorts of speculations."

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips and glanced at Ye Feiran lying on the bed. She noticed that Ye Feiran's face was pale, as if he had suffered a major setback.

Ye Qing'an deliberately had Zi Xiao bring up the matter in front of the two of them, wanting Ye Feiran to understand in detail what kind of person his mother was.

Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "Yes, I understand."

Zixiao glanced cautiously at Ye Qing'an: "This servant believes that the Second Young Master's poison was most likely instigated by the Madam, and the Master has found evidence..."

"However, this servant is somewhat puzzled. If it is indeed as this servant suspects, that the poison was administered by the Madam, and the Master has already found evidence, why has he only placed her under house arrest and allowed the Sixth Concubine to manage the household affairs? If this was the Madam's doing, she is harming the legitimate son of the Ye family. If this were in another household, she would at least be divorced, if not punished directly."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them: "What can we do? Fei Ran and I are no longer mothers. The mistress of the mansion now is Liu Xueying. She probably sees that my brother and I have no one to protect us, so she's trying to make a big deal out of it and let it go."

"It doesn't matter..."

As Ye Qing'an spoke, she looked at Ye Feiran and said, "Feiran was indeed unprotected before, which is why she was able to act so recklessly. Now that I'm back, I've recorded all these debts one by one. Once I'm stronger, these debts will naturally be settled one by one."

Eleven was playing with the nine-linked rings in the corner when she heard this and looked up: "Mother has to protect me, which is already hard enough, and now she has to protect him too..."

Eleven pursed his lips: "Never mind, he's still Mother's brother, although..."

Eleven glanced at Ye Feiran, pursed her lips, and didn't finish her sentence: "But Mother still has me. I will also work hard to cultivate and strive to be Mother's support as soon as possible."

“I am four years old now. I will be able to surpass my uncle in another year at most, and then I will not need my mother to work so hard.”

Although Shiyi didn't finish his sentence, Ye Feiran saw obvious contempt in his eyes.

Although……

Although what?

Even though he's fat, stupid, and useless?

Ye Feiran's forehead veins bulged. In the past, he would have jumped up and given this brat a good fight until he was convinced of his superiority.

But today...

So many things have happened today, many of which are far beyond his capacity to bear.

He finally realized that his mother, who had always doted on him, didn't truly love him; she was just scheming against him.

Ye Feiran gritted his teeth. It was all because of this country woman. If she hadn't come back and insisted on making him understand these things, he could still have known nothing.

He felt that things were fine before; there was good food and fun, and he didn't have to worry about anything. He could just eat, drink, and have fun, doing whatever he wanted.

But this shrew insisted on letting him know all this, and he felt really tired.

He's still so young, why should he have to endure all this?

And this little brat is also annoying. Can't a four-year-old act like a four-year-old?

What was he doing when he was four years old?

They're probably just eating and playing around.

This little brat, however, was even more diligent than him, spending all his time either cultivating or reading and practicing calligraphy.

He always works hard in front of him, but if he wants to rest, this brat looks at him with contempt, as if he has done something heinous, as if he is a good-for-nothing.

He's really tired.

He was still unconvinced by being provoked by such a young brat: "You think you can surpass me in just one year? Keep dreaming."

"Well, actually I don't think I need a year at all. You're only a Illusionist now. I think three months would be enough, but out of respect for you as an elder, I'm giving you face, so I deliberately made it sound like it would take longer..."

Ye Feiran almost wanted to jump out of bed.

But then he saw Ye Qing'an nod seriously: "Hmm, more or less. In my expectations, you should be able to surpass him within three months at the latest."

He then added, "It's only been about ten days since I started cultivating in the Spirit Stone Trial, but I'm already close to becoming a Illusionist. I should be able to advance to the Illusionist level in two or three days."

Ye Feiran was still somewhat unconvinced, but upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, her eyes widened: "What? You're about to advance?"

"Why are you so fast?"

Ye Qing'an's expression was quite calm: "Fast? I don't think so. Advancing from the initial stage is not difficult. If it weren't for some recent events, I might have already advanced."

"..."

"Isn't it difficult?"

Ye Feiran felt somewhat hopeless. He felt it was so difficult; he had cultivated for four years and was still just an Illusionist.

Is he really that incompetent?

No, no, he must work hard; he can't let this mother and son look down on him.

He wasn't weak to begin with; he just hadn't put enough effort into his cultivation before, okay?

Once he gets serious, he'll definitely scare you to death!
