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

At night, Ye Qing'an was cultivating in the Dreamland of Clouds when she suddenly heard Jiu Xiao's voice in her ear: "Someone has broken into the courtyard."

Ye Qing'an opened her eyes, left the illusion, put on her clothes, got up, and went out of the house.

Sure enough, a man was standing in the courtyard. He was wearing a moon-white robe and looking up at the lanterns lit under the eaves.

He wasn't wearing a mask today, and the lantern light illuminated his face, which was so beautiful it almost took your breath away, making him look like a painting.

"Xu Yixiu truly doesn't take the guards of the Ye Mansion seriously, coming and going as he pleases."

Xu Mo turned his head and glanced at Ye Qing'an casually: "Miss Ye's vigilance is indeed extremely high. I was only in this courtyard and I hadn't even made a sound when you noticed me. It seems that Miss Ye's cultivation is much higher than it appears."

Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes: "What brings Doctor Xu here so late at night?"

"What is it..." Xu Mo chuckled, a smile that was fleeting, yet it left Ye Qing'an in awe.

"Naturally, I'm here to collect a debt." Xu Mo tilted his head slightly: "Today at the banquet hosted by Prince An Ding, I did Miss Ye a great favor. Does Miss Ye owe me another debt of gratitude?"

"How does Doctor Xu want me to repay him?" Ye Qing'an smiled as well: "As the saying goes, the more lice you have, the less itchy you become. Since you're already indebted, you might as well indebted a little more. Coincidentally, I also wanted to ask Doctor Xu for some medicinal powder that can change the results of that spirit-testing stone..."

As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, Xu Mo took out a small white jade bottle from his sleeve and threw it at Ye Qing'an.

So satisfying?

Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows in surprise, and replied without ceremony: "Doctor Xu hasn't said how he wants me to repay him yet."

“There’s no rush.” Xu Mo looked at Ye Qing’an: “I’ll be moving into the Ye residence tomorrow anyway, so Miss Ye will have plenty of opportunities to pay off her debts.”

Ye Qing'an was taken aback. She knew that Ye Qinghao did have a plan to have Xu Mo live in the Ye residence as a guest, but was it really going to happen so quickly?

Ye Qing'an was taken aback for a moment before narrowing her eyes: "Ye Qinghao did mention it before, and I know that you want to get close to him. But, so soon, aren't you afraid that Ye Qinghao will become suspicious?"

"Suspicion?" Xu Mo chuckled, raising his hand to touch the tattoo on his face. "Do you know that Ye Qinghao found out my identity, my past experiences, and the enemy I mentioned before in just two days? He even brought my enemy to Wangjing City and made me personally torture that family to death in front of me."

"Lord Ye has gone to great lengths to avenge me and has promised me a bright future. I am deeply grateful and willing to live in the Ye residence as Lord Ye's retainer. What is wrong with that?"

Ye Qing'an had no idea that Ye Qinghao had done so much in just a few days...

They're really impatient.

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Then do you know that Ye Qinghao, in order to ensure that I would serve the Ye family and him well in the future, and not leave or betray the Ye family, told me after returning from Lanting Xiaozhu that day..."

Ye Qing'an recalled for a moment: "Xu Yixiu's appearance is excellent in the entire Siyou Kingdom. However, his appearance is too outstanding, so he is not suitable to be a husband. But although he is not suitable to be a husband, he can still be a companion to comfort you."

"If Doctor Xu can become a retainer of the manor, you will have much more time to spend with him. As the saying goes, feelings develop over time, and you will have more opportunities to get along with him."

Ye Qing'an imitated Ye Qinghao's tone and repeated what he had said that day to Xu Mo.

"Really?" Xu Mo seemed a little surprised, raising his eyebrows but with a hint of interest in his eyes: "So, Lord Ye had this in mind when he recruited me into his household as a retainer? I thought he valued my talent."

"But this idea sounds pretty good?"

sounds good?

What exactly is Xu Mo thinking?

He was Consort Lan's male favorite.

She, however, is a mother.

Xu Mo curled the corners of his lips: "If this is enough to put Ye Qinghao's mind at ease and make him lower his guard against the two of us, wouldn't that be a very simple thing?"

Ye Qing'an's fingers curled slightly in her thoughts, but she remained silent, staring intently at Xu Mo for a long while.

"If Consort Lan knew..."

Xu Mo raised an eyebrow: "So what if Consort Lan knows? Everything I did was to be able to accompany her legitimately. Besides, I don't really have anything going on with you..."

"Or perhaps..." Xu Mo's lips curled slightly, "Miss Ye, what do you want with me?"

"Heh..." Ye Qing'an sneered, too lazy to pay attention to Xu Mo: "That day, Doctor Xu saved the Prince of Huaiyang who was suffering from qi deviation. The Prince of Huaiyang must be very grateful to you. Why don't you take advantage of the situation and achieve your goal through the Prince of Huaiyang? Wouldn't that be easier?"

"But why must you find a way to enter the Ye residence?"

Could it be that there's some other purpose behind it?

Ye Qing'an didn't finish her sentence, but that was the meaning behind it.

Xu Mo smiled and glanced at Ye Qing'an: "Naturally, it's because although the Prince of Huaiyang has royal blood, he is too far away and does not hold any real power, so he is of no help to me. But Ye Qinghao is different. Ye Qinghao is the head of one of the four great families in Wangjing City, as well as the Prime Minister of Siyou Kingdom, the head of all officials, and is extremely trusted by the Emperor."

"If we could enter the Ye residence and gain Ye Qinghao's trust, that would be the best thing ever."

Is that all?

Ye Qing'an squinted, looking at Xu Mo with some suspicion.

She always felt that Xu Mo was not as simple as he appeared.

However, she really couldn't see through him.

It's as if this face is still wearing a thick mask.

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. This shouldn't be the case. In her previous life, she was the regent princess. She had seen many people and was good at recognizing and judging them. Even with Ye Qinghao, she could quickly know what ambitions he had and roughly guess what he was thinking.

But this man alone remains an enigma.

She had never liked this feeling of being out of control, yet she had somehow ended up getting involved with this man.

Now that the two are in the same boat, it's not easy to break things off.

"You've come today to tell me about your upcoming entry into the Ye residence?"

Xu Mo nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Ye Qing'an, his eyes seemingly gleaming with a seductive light: "Yes, what happened at the banquet hosted by Prince An Ding today has made me even more curious about Miss Ye. Once I enter the Ye residence, I'll be able to get to know Miss Ye properly and thoroughly."

"I'm actually... a little impatient."
