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

Xu Mo suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, but his gaze remained fixed on Eleven's eyebrows and eyes: "You are very beautiful too."

Ye Qing'an smiled as she watched Xu Mo and Eleven compliment each other, then raised her hand to ruffle Eleven's hair: "I'll take this...this brother to your maternal grandfather's place. You go play for a while longer, I'll come find you later."

Eleven responded and waved goodbye to the two with a smile.

Once Eleven had run far away, Xu Mo withdrew his gaze: "Your young master is indeed very handsome, but... he doesn't seem to look much like you?"

"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded: "However, the face shape and mouth are still similar."

Xu Mo had previously sent someone to investigate Ye Qing'an, and even found out the truth about what happened back then. He learned that Ye Weilan had bribed someone and deliberately plotted against Ye Qing'an, causing her to lose her virginity and give birth to this child.

He hadn't paid much attention to the matter when his subordinates reported it, but seeing Eleven's appearance today made him a little concerned.

so similar……

Xu Mo frowned. When he heard the report from the secret guards, he hadn't inquired carefully about when exactly this incident happened to Ye Qing'an.

He needs to go back and ask him carefully.

If that person back then... was her...

Xu Mo's hand, hidden in his sleeve, trembled slightly. He pursed his lips, but couldn't help but look up at Ye Qing'an, who was walking ahead.

Upon arriving at the main courtyard, after the servants went in to announce their arrival, Ye Qing'an led Xu Mo inside.

Ye Qinghao stood under the eaves of the main courtyard's flower hall. When he saw the two of them walk in, he stared at them for a moment before suddenly laughing: "Why is it Qing'an who accompanied Doctor Xu in?"

Ye Qing'an smiled brightly: "I just returned to the manor and happened to run into you at the gate, so I brought Doctor Xu over with me."

Ye Qing'an's eyes were filled with undisguised joy: "Doctor Xu said that Father invited Doctor Xu to join the household as a guest?"

"Yes." Ye Qinghao also had a smile on his face: "Medical Doctor Xu's medical skills are superb. It is a blessing for our Ye family to be able to invite him back to the manor."

“Yes.” Ye Qing’an said in a light tone, “I was just talking to Physician Xu. Physician Xu helped me repair my dantian at the manor and is my benefactor. He also helped Fei Ran detoxify at the banquet of Prince An Ding. Now he has entered the manor as my father’s retainer. It is truly a rare fate.”

“It’s quite a coincidence.” Ye Qinghao’s gaze fell on Xu Mo, and seeing him standing to the side with an upright posture, his smile deepened.

Ye Qing'an hurriedly bid farewell to the two, saying, "Father and Doctor Xu must have important matters to discuss, so I will take my leave now."

Ye Qinghao nodded, and Ye Qing'an then withdrew.

Seeing Ye Qing'an leave the courtyard, Ye Qinghao withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "My daughter... has a hard life. She had just come of age when she was defiled and her reputation ruined by a villain. Later, it was discovered that she was pregnant. I was worried that if this got out, the rumors outside would hurt her, so I had someone send her to the estate."

“I was a little angry at the time. It’s not a big deal to have one’s chastity violated, but she insisted on giving birth to the child. I was furious and told people not to send anything to the estate, hoping she would beg me for help. Who would have thought that she would be so stubborn and give birth to the child alone on the estate and raise the child all by herself, enduring a lot of hardship.”

Ye Qinghao sighed: "Some things can only be borne by oneself, and no one else can help her. Fortunately, she is kind-hearted and very resolute, and she finally got through the most difficult years."

Xu Mo recalled what Ye Qing'an had told him before, that Ye Qinghao was planning to pair the two of them together, and a smile appeared on his face: "Miss Ye is an excellent person."

“Yes.” Ye Qinghao waved his hand: “Let’s not talk about the past. Now, all I hope for is that there is someone who doesn’t mind her past, who can treat her well, take care of her, and give her happiness. That would be enough for me.”

As Ye Qinghao spoke, his gaze was fixed on Xu Mo, as if he were referring to something.

Xu Mo pretended not to understand and simply nodded: "You will meet them. Heaven will not treat anyone who strives to live a good life unfairly."

"Haha, I appreciate your kind words." Ye Qinghao smiled and gestured for him to come in: "I have some things I would like to discuss with Doctor Xu. Doctor Xu, please come in."

Ye Qing'an brought Eleven back to the courtyard, and Granny Wei came out to greet them: "Miss and Young Master are back? I specially went to the kitchen to make some pastries, all of which are Miss's favorites. Please come and have a taste."

Ye Qing'an responded and led Eleven into the room. A maid brought a basin for them to wash their hands. Ye Qing'an glanced at the pastries on the table; the pastries were quite exquisite.

That's quite normal. Previously, Granny Wei served Ye Qing'an's biological mother. Ye Qing'an's mother seemed to have a good background, so Granny Wei's skills in serving others must be quite good.

Ye Qing'an found it strange that since her mother was of noble birth, why was she treated so coldly by Ye Qinghao when she served in the Ye family?

Just because you gave birth to a useless girl?

And why did Ye Qing'an's mother suffer so much in this mansion, even dying in childbirth later...?

Although she didn't know the exact circumstances, based on her intuition from years of working in the palace, she felt that there might be something fishy about Ye Qing'an's mother dying in childbirth.

Whether there are any clues or not, she'll have to investigate carefully later...

However, given how tragically Ye Qing'an's mother died, why did her family not do anything?

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and glanced at Granny Wei standing to the side. Although it was a bit strange that Granny Wei had suddenly returned to the mansion, she should still know about these things.

Ye Qing'an sat down at the table, dismissed the others, and took a bite of a pastry.

The desserts were sweet but not cloying, and the flavors were quite refreshing.

"good to eat."

When Wei Mama heard Ye Qing'an say this, she immediately laughed: "When Madam was still alive, Miss loved eating mung bean cakes the most, and she especially loved the ones I made myself."

"But after the madam passed away, the servants in the mansion fawned over the powerful and bullied us in every way possible. Miss always said she wanted to eat mung bean cake, but I was powerless and could not beg for anything to make for her."

Granny Wei wanted to use this mung bean cake to evoke memories of the past in Ye Qing'an, but Ye Qing'an simply asked, "Speaking of this matter, I happen to have something I want to ask Granny."

Granny Wei replied with a smile, "Miss, don't be so polite with me. Just ask me whatever you need."

Ye Qing'an raised her eyes to look at Granny Wei: "When I went to the small banquet of Prince An Ding before, I heard other people mention that my mother was born into a very good family. So I don't understand why my mother was bullied like that since she was born into such a good family? And why did no one from my maternal grandparents' family come when my mother died?"
