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

When Ye Qing'an brought Eleven back to the courtyard, she saw Granny Wei standing at the courtyard gate, looking around.

Upon seeing Ye Qing'an and Eleven, Granny Wei hurriedly came out to greet them: "Miss, where did you take the young master? The young master's health has not yet recovered; how can you move him around so carelessly?"

Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Father wanted to see Eleven, and I had no choice but to take Eleven with me."

"Master?" Granny Wei frowned, somewhat puzzled. "Why did you suddenly decide to see the young master? Is there something important?"

Ye Qing'an turned around and glanced at Granny Wei, her smile fading slightly: "I don't know either, he just looked at Eleven."

Having worked as a servant for decades, Granny Wei was quite adept at reading people's expressions. Seeing the change in Ye Qing'an's demeanor, she finally realized that what she had just said seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Ye Qinghao is her master, as are Ye Qing'an and even this young master whom she doesn't think much of.

As a maid, how could I question my master like that?

Granny Wei looked somewhat embarrassed and quickly explained, "When I returned to the courtyard earlier, I couldn't find Miss and Young Master. I asked the other maids in the courtyard and learned that Miss had taken Young Master out. I was just too worried about Young Master's injuries..."

Ye Qing'an nodded, her smile still faint: "I know."

After saying that, he carried Eleven straight into the house.

Ye Qing'an watched as Zi Xiao fed Eleven the food before returning to the dining hall to eat.

Just after dinner, someone outside announced, "Miss, the butler is here."

Ye Qing'an nodded, stood up, and led her maid out to greet them.

The butler stood in the courtyard, with four servants standing behind him.

Ye Qing'an glanced at them and saw that the four men had straight backs and exuded a sharp and efficient aura, so he knew that they must be trained in martial arts.

This must be the person Ye Qinghao sent to serve Eleven.

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes; Ye Qinghao had indeed taken Eleven to heart.

No wonder, how could one not care about the Holy Spirit?

The steward bowed to Ye Qing'an and said as Ye Qinghao had instructed, "Master was furious when he heard that the young master was injured in the back garden of the mansion. He felt that it was because the young master had no one to take care of him that he was injured."

"Master cares about the young master and specially selected four people to be sent over by this old servant. He said they would serve the young master. These four people all know some mystical arts and also some common martial arts, so they can protect the young master."

Ye Qing'an looked flattered and surprised: "Really? That's wonderful, thank you, Father, thank you, Steward."

The steward smiled and pointed to the four people: "This old servant has delivered the people and will take his leave now."

"Yes, Lily of the Valley, see the butler off for me."

After giving his instructions, Ye Qing'an had Granny Wei take the four people away and settle them in properly before turning back to his room.

Zixiao stood in the courtyard for a moment, recalling the appearance of the four people. Her fingers twitched slightly. If she wasn't mistaken, all four of them had tattoos on their wrists, which should be the mark of the Ye family's elite guards.

The Ye family's elite guards are secretly trained by the Ye family; their numbers are only two or three hundred, but their combat power is extremely high. They can only be mobilized by the Ye clan leader to handle some very important matters.

However, the master sent them to protect the young master.

And there are four of them at once?

Zi Xiao pursed her lips. Why was that?

But is it related to Miss Ye?

Although she has now gained Ye Qing'an's trust and is working for him, doing things for him that cannot be told to outsiders, she still cannot see through this Miss Ye at all.

Zixiao's thoughts raced for a while before she turned and went inside.

A short while later, Granny Wei returned after settling the four people in: "Miss, why did Master suddenly send people to serve the young master?"

"The butler said those four people are very skilled in mystical arts?"

Ye Qing'an shook her head: "I...I don't know either. Perhaps it was because Father saw how badly Eleven was injured just now and felt sorry for him?"

"Eleven...Although Eleven was born into a less than ideal family, he is still Father's legitimate grandson and Father's only grandchild. Isn't it said that elders love their grandchildren? Perhaps it's because Eleven is clever and quick-witted that Father likes him so much?"

Granny Wei looked at Ye Qing'an suspiciously, feeling that the reason was too far-fetched, but she couldn't find any other reason, and could only mutter, "Is that so?"

The fact that Ye Qinghao sent four people to Eleven's side could not be kept secret from the eyes of everyone in the mansion.

Soon, the news spread throughout the Ye residence.

In the main courtyard, Liu Xueying had also received the news, and her face was extremely ugly: "You mean, Master sent four Ye family guards to that little bastard?"

“Yes.” Granny Li nodded. “It’s all over the place. When the steward sent the people over, many people saw it. Those four people did indeed have the marks of the Ye family’s elite guards.”

Liu Xueying was furious: "What right does that little bastard have?"

"Has the master been bewitched by that mother and son?"

Granny Li quickly said, "Walls have ears. Madam's situation is already very bad, so please don't say anything more."

"Can't we even say it out loud?" Liu Xueying gritted her teeth, though she knew the gravity of the situation. She took a deep breath and said, "That little bastard fell off the artificial hill and was seriously injured. How come he didn't die?"

After speaking, she paused, pursed her lips, and asked, "What did Zirui say?"

Li Mama lowered her voice: "The eldest young master only said that the madam should be patient and bear with it a little longer. He said that it is not necessarily a bad thing that the madam has been stripped of her power and is under house arrest in this courtyard. The other men in the mansion are not exactly honest either, and without the madam's restraint, they will probably be even more unscrupulous."

"Let's just watch and see what happens, observe from afar, and reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Why not?"

Liu Xueying slowly leaned back on the large cushion: "Watching the tigers fight from across the mountain, and reaping the benefits while sitting back?"

“I could do that too, but now, even the power to manage the household has fallen into the hands of others. I’m afraid, afraid that as time goes on, the master will forget about me…”

"There are so many flowers outside, you might get caught up in one of them."

Granny Li quickly reassured him, "I think the young master is right."

"Your Excellency, you have been in charge of the household for several years, and although you have managed the inner quarters perfectly, who knows if anyone is secretly harboring ulterior motives?"

"We can take this opportunity to have a good look and see."
