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

Ye Qing'an paused slightly again. For some reason, he felt that Xu Mo seemed a little off today. The way he looked at her and the tone of his voice when he spoke to her were very gentle, a gentleness that had a hint of eeriness...

Ye Qing'an frowned: "Has something happened to Doctor Xu these past few days?"

Perhaps Ye Qing'an's expression was too obvious, because Xu Mo immediately understood the meaning behind her words.

"..."

I finally wanted to talk to her properly and spend time with her, but what's with that ghostly look on her face?

Xu Mo took a deep breath: "Miss Ye, is your sudden visit to pay off a debt?"

Ye Qing'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, this was the real Xu Mo...

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "I came to ask why you sent those things to Eleven these past two days?"

"They're just little trinkets, don't worry about them."

It's just a little gadget. Don't worry about it.

Ye Qing'an's expression grew increasingly puzzled. The things Xu Mo had sent were indeed just trinkets, but each one was made with very high-quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship...

"This is too precious. I cannot accept such a gift without having done anything to deserve it."

This woman...

Xu Mo felt a strange sense of irritation. He brought the child some things, and she was unhappy about it? Was she deliberately trying to make things difficult for him?

But just as this thought popped into his head, he suddenly remembered the report from his subordinates who had been sent out to gather information the night before.

"When Miss Ye was first sent to the estate, she had nothing on her. It started raining the night she arrived, so she had no choice but to brave the rain and search for a place to stay. She finally found a thatched hut that hadn't been lived in for a long time and stayed there for more than four years..."

“She didn’t own any land on that estate. At first, she could only sell the clothes and jewelry she had left to buy some fabric to make clothes and embroider, and then ask someone to sell them. But she didn’t know the market price, and the middleman made more money than she did.”

"But at least we were still able to make ends meet. It was only later, when my belly got bigger, that I gradually couldn't sit for long periods of time anymore. So I slowly started buying some chickens and ducks to feed them, and selling eggs and chickens and ducks."

"But the people on the estate, acting on the instructions of Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan, always try to make things difficult for Miss Ye. She has indeed suffered a lot on the estate."

"Some people were also attracted by her beauty and even tried to force themselves on her. Miss Ye threatened to kill herself in order to preserve her chastity."

"..."

Xu Mo pursed his lips. He knew that Ye Qing'an was pregnant out of wedlock and had previously been known throughout the world as a good-for-nothing because she couldn't cultivate. He could imagine that her life on the estate must not be easy.

However, it was just a guess before. What his subordinates told him after they inquired was still beyond his expectations.

Xu Mo frowned. Looking at his daughter now, she wasn't stupid, was she? How could she have survived like that on that estate?

He's practically a piece of trash.

Never mind...

Xu Mo sighed and decided not to argue with her.

"When I saw the young master that day, I felt that his appearance was vaguely familiar, and he looked just like an old friend of mine. It was a kind of fate. Yesterday, I saw him face danger without fear and adapt to the situation. I also thought he was very smart. I liked him very much, so I wanted to give him some things."

"It's not for you, it's for him, so you don't need to feel burdened. If you feel uncomfortable about it, I'll just send less in the future. I really like that child. Or, you could let him become my apprentice, or even recognize me as his godfather, either way is fine."

Ye Qing'an was somewhat surprised, but the affection in Xu Mo's words did not seem fake.

Eleven actually won Xu Mo's favor, and Xu Mo even wanted to make Eleven his apprentice or adopted son?

This is truly rare.

In her mind, Xu Mo was a cold and aloof person, mysterious, and liked to be alone. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would take on disciples or adopt a son and create unnecessary ties for herself.

But he...

Ye Qing'an glanced at Xu Mo a few times, then shook her head: "Fine, I won't hold your previous gifts against you, just don't do it again in the future."

"Let's not talk about godfathers or apprenticeships. We're in the same boat, and getting entangled in interests and grudges would be too troublesome. I don't want Eleven to get involved in any of these conflicts..."

Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Xu Mo couldn't help but glance at Ye Qing'an again.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qing'an seemed quite clever and knew how to maximize his own interests.

He also understood that Ye Qing'an always felt he couldn't see through him and was very distrustful of him.

She could have used Eleven to bind him even tighter to her, but she didn't.

This made him look at him in a new light.

Regardless, this woman clearly put a lot of thought into Eleven.

Xu Mo nodded: "Alright, if you're unwilling, then forget it."

"However, when I used my spiritual power to probe Eleven's dantian yesterday, I felt that Eleven's talent should be quite strong. Eleven's status in the Ye family is awkward, so Ye Qinghao probably won't put too much effort into teaching him or hiring a good tutor for him."

“If you don’t mind, you can have him come here more often. He doesn’t need to become my apprentice. I can teach him some things. I’m not bragging, but I dare say that ten days of my teaching is worth a year of his time with someone else.”

Ye Qing'an was even more surprised. After pondering for a moment, she realized that Xu Mo's abilities were indeed hidden. If the master-disciple relationship were not required, Xu Mo would still be willing to give her some pointers, so there was nothing wrong with that.

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Okay."

Having clarified the matter, Ye Qing'an could not linger any longer. Although he was a medical practitioner, he was still an outsider, and it would be inappropriate if word got out.

Ye Qing'an glanced at Xu Mo: "In the manor, it would be best if Physician Xu wore a mask to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble."

Xu Mo paused, looked up at Ye Qing'an, his gaze deep and unfocused, lost in thought.

"also."

Xu Mo nodded: "I understand, I will be more careful in the future."

"..." Ye Qing'an's unease grew stronger. What was wrong with Xu Mo today? She felt something was off about him.

Ye Qing'an took a deep breath: "Alright, then I won't disturb Doctor Xu any longer. I'll take my leave now."

He said that, and then turned and left.

Xu Mo then raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on Ye Qing'an, his eyes filled with a blatant scrutiny.

"Ye Qing'an."

Xu Mo murmured the name, his brows furrowing slightly, although...

But he still needs to get to know Ye Qing'an better before he can decide how to treat her in the future.
