Ye Qing'an scoffed: "What happened today was indeed my oversight, but the child is my own, and I raised him with great care. If I couldn't protect him, he wouldn't have survived to this day, given all those monsters and demons on the estate. I will be more careful in the future, but I will not allow outsiders to criticize me."

Xu Mo opened his mouth, but found that everything Ye Qing'an said was true, and he didn't even have the right to refute it.

Xu Mo pursed his lips: "If anyone asks later, I will tell them that the young master has some abrasions on his hands, feet and body, but the most serious injury is on his waist and abdomen. I will say that there was probably a sharp object on the rock at the time, and the young master was injured in the waist and abdomen by a sharp weapon, so he lost a lot of blood."

Ye Qing'an nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Xu Mo waved his hand, but his gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face. After a long silence, he coughed lightly and said, "You have raised the child very well. He is smart, lively, and knows how to protect himself. I heard that you have not been in good circumstances these years, but you have been able to raise the child to be like this. You have worked hard."

After saying that, Xu Mo hurriedly left, his feet barely touching the ground, as if someone was chasing after him.

"Ok?"

Ye Qing'an looked completely bewildered. What was Xu Mo saying?

What kind of child was well-educated by her?

What hardship did she endure?

Is this a compliment?

But why did she always feel a strange sense of unease when she heard it?

Ye Qing stood at the door, pondering for a long time without understanding why Xu Mo would suddenly say these things to her. After a long while, she couldn't help but frown: "How inexplicable."

But she felt a little disappointed, because she owed Xu Mo another debt today.

Actually, after she discovered something amiss about Eleven, she could have simply found an excuse to take Eleven away. But for some reason, she inexplicably thought of Xu Mo, and without careful consideration, she directly instructed her maid to invite Xu Mo.

However, since Xu Mo was a guest whom Ye Qinghao had painstakingly invited, Ye Qinghao should be more convinced by his words.

And today Xu Mo saved Eleven, isn't that exactly the situation Ye Qinghao wanted to see?

As for her debts...

Who cares? I'm already in debt, so I'll deal with it when Xu Mo comes after me.

Ye Qing'an turned around and went back into the room. She walked to the bedside and tucked the blanket around Shiyi. Shiyi's eyes were no longer trembling, and her breathing gradually became steady. It seemed that she had been pretending to be asleep and had actually fallen asleep.

Ye Qing'an walked to the table and sat down, reviewing the events of the day.

Eleven is a cautious person, and she believed him when he said someone was watching him.

Those who can freely enter and exit the back garden of this mansion without attracting attention are mostly people from this mansion.

Moreover, the maidservant spent so much time trying to find a doctor today, but they still hadn't managed to get one by the time they left with Eleven.

Either the doctor was called away by someone else in the household, or there was something wrong with the maid who went to fetch the doctor.

She will investigate these matters one by one.

Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table, but she didn't quite understand. Eleven was just a four-year-old child, and judging from his background, he was not exactly respectable.

Why would anyone go to such lengths to deal with a child?

I'm afraid that the person behind this is not targeting Eleven, but rather her.

How to deal with her through the Eleventh?

Even if Eleven were injured or even died, she would not have suffered any harm. In fact, if she were removed from the picture, from the perspective of outsiders, Eleven would be an indelible stain on her. If Eleven were gone, wouldn't it be better for her future?

If she schemes against Eleven like this today and something happens to Eleven, all she'll do is feel sad and upset.

She could only think of two people who would do that...

One was Liu Xueying, and the other was Sixth Aunt.

Liu Xueying just couldn't stand seeing her doing well; she was willing to do anything to make her sad or upset.

And the sixth concubine...

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips. Earlier, Granny Wei had been whispering in her ear that if Liu Xueying were in charge of the household, she would definitely try every means to make things difficult for her and Eleventh Aunt, but Sixth Aunt was different...

After what happened today, logically speaking, Ye Qing'an would definitely suspect Liu Xueying.

Once Ye Qing'an harbors deep hatred for Liu Xueying because of Eleven, it pushes Ye Qing'an a big step closer to Sixth Aunt.

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips, her expression suddenly turning cold.

She had few attachments in this strange world.

However, because she had been spending the last month or two with Eleven, who was smart, considerate, and lively, she was the person she wanted to protect the most here.

Whoever moves, dies!

She wanted to see who dared to mess with her.

As Ye Qing'an was pondering this, she heard Wei Mama's voice from outside: "Miss, Miss? Is Miss inside?"

Ye Qing'an quickly suppressed the fierceness in her eyes, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes rapidly before standing up and walking out.

Granny Wei was a little out of breath and her face was flushed. When she saw Ye Qing'an come out, she breathed a long sigh of relief: "I was cleaning the main room when I heard someone say that the young master had an accident. Miss, is the young master alright?"

Ye Qing'an's eyes were a little red. Hearing Wei Mama's question, she lowered her head and said, "How could he be alright? He lost so much blood. His clothes were soaked in blood. I almost thought..."

Ye Qing'an's voice choked with sobs: "I almost thought I was going to lose my child."

Granny Wei looked surprised: "How could this be? I heard from people outside that she fell from the artificial hill in the garden. But I remember that the artificial hill in the garden isn't very high. How could it be so serious?"

Ye Qing'an's hands, hidden in her sleeves, suddenly tightened.

The artificial hill in the mansion isn't very high, is it really that serious?

Ye Qing'an's eyes were cold, but he did not look up. He said in a low voice, "Xu Yixiu said that there was probably a sharp weapon there. The weapon went straight into Eleven's stomach. Although it did not damage his lungs or internal organs, the wound was extremely deep."

"My poor Eleven, how could such a thing happen?"

Granny Wei was also somewhat flustered, but she quickly comforted Ye Qing'an: "Yes, how could such a thing happen? What did the doctor say? Is he alright?"

"Doctor Xu has already treated and bandaged Eleven's wounds. He said that although the injuries are serious, they are all external injuries and he just needs to take good care of them. But Eleven is so young, yet he has to suffer like this. I hate it."

"Why didn't I protect my Eleven better?"

Granny Wei quickly stepped forward to support Ye Qing'an: "Miss, don't be sad. It's good that your life is not in danger. Children recover quickly, and the young master will surely recover soon."

"But I just heard Linglan say that the young master chased a rabbit up that artificial hill? But where in the manor... would a rabbit have come from?"
