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

The sixth concubine's voice was somewhat urgent, but her gaze remained fixed on Ye Qing'an, as if she didn't want to miss any changes in her expression and wanted to guess what she was thinking from her expression.

"The rain was so heavy at the time that the sound of rain and thunder was mixed together, and it was impossible to hear anything clearly. So how could anyone have heard Coral's screams, and even heard what she was screaming about?"

"This is all a scheme, aimed at me and at Miss. Someone wants to frame me for the murder of the young master that day, so that Miss will resent me and watch us fight."

"What I said to Miss that day was true. Now Miss and I have the same goal. I want to win Miss over and try my best to be good to Miss and Young Master. Why would I do something so stupid and invite trouble?"

Ye Qing'an's eyes were clear. She simply withdrew her hand and clenched it back: "Don't worry, Aunt. Although I'm not smart, I won't be easily misled or suspicious."

"I have seen everything that Auntie has done these past few days, and I trust Auntie." Ye Qing'an smiled and lowered her voice. "It's just that this is really not the place to talk, and I have to go to Mr. Lingjun's place to study today. I really can't delay. So, let's find a time and a place to talk about this after I finish my studies and return home."

Sixth Aunt knew that some things couldn't be said here. She came only because she was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would seize the opportunity and put her in a passive position. Now, hearing Ye Qing'an say this, she felt as if she had taken a reassurance. The panic on her face gradually faded, and she simply nodded and replied, "Alright, then I'll wait for Miss to return to the manor."

Ye Qing'an responded, and the two then said goodbye. The sixth concubine stood there without leaving, only watching Ye Qing'an until she was out of her sight before turning and leaving.

Once inside the carriage, Zixiao lowered her voice and said, "Yesterday's rain was indeed quite heavy, and Coral's death was extremely suspicious. Even if what happened to the young master was really the work of that maid named Coral, she wouldn't have reacted that way upon suddenly seeing the rabbit's corpse. It was just a rabbit's corpse..."

Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "It is suspicious. It is obvious that someone did it on purpose. But why would the person behind it do this? The purpose is quite thought-provoking."

"Could it be that, as Sixth Aunt said, Cheng Guo really wants you to suspect Sixth Aunt?"

"Perhaps." Ye Qing'an's face didn't show any extra expression. "This matter is definitely not over yet. It's too early to draw any conclusions now. Since they've come to pamper me, I just need to watch and see what happens next, and see what kind of show this is all about."

After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she closed her eyes to rest.

In order to speed up her cultivation progress, she has been spending most of her nights cultivating in the Cloud Dream Realm, but now she is feeling a bit sleepy.

Zi Xiao's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face. She pursed her lips, remained silent for a while, and then looked away.

Before Liu Xueying sent them to serve this young lady, she had actually tried to carefully investigate the young lady's character within the mansion.

Knowing that this young lady is weak-willed, indecisive in her speech and actions, and will only swallow her anger when bullied, they knew that she was weak-willed and indecisive.

However, the longer she served Ye Qing'an, the more she couldn't help but look at this young lady with new respect.

The Ye Qing'an before me now is almost entirely different in personality from the one in the rumors, bearing no resemblance whatsoever.

The person in front of me is straightforward, quick-witted, and exceptionally intelligent. He can be ruthless when necessary, decisive when needed, and patient when it's time to observe the situation.

With a personality like that, as long as she strategizes a little, those in the backyard of the mansion would probably be no match for this young lady.

Ye Qing'an had no idea what Zi Xiao was thinking. After the carriage stopped, he got off and went into the academy to pay his respects to Master Lingjun.

After a few days apart, Master Lingjun still treated her with the same indifferent attitude, teaching her the most basic techniques of gathering and cultivating Qi. Ye Qing'an was not in a hurry and simply listened and followed along.

After school, Ye Qing'an and Ye Feiran went home together.

Upon arriving at the academy gate, Ye Qing'an called out to Ye Feiran, "Come ride with me, I'd like to test your knowledge."

Ye Feiran's chubby face was filled with surprise: "What, you're testing me?"

"Why?"

Without even thinking, Ye Feiran questioned him.

Ye Qing'an did not answer, but only nodded: "Alright, if you don't want to, then forget it. I don't like being the bad guy and annoying people for no reason."

Ye Feiran was stunned when Ye Qing'an brushed it off so easily, expecting her to be very assertive. He stared at her for a long time, unable to come to his senses.

By the time he realized what was happening, Ye Qing'an had already boarded the carriage.

"..." Ye Feiran was speechless. No, how could he give up so easily? Couldn't you have persuaded him a little more? He's not a very determined person to begin with. If you persuaded him a little more, he would have agreed, right?

Ye Feiran coughed lightly: "That's not what I meant. I just feel that it's said that boys and girls shouldn't sit together after the age of seven. I'm already eight. Even though you are my... well, it's still a bit inappropriate for us to ride in the same car."

Ye Qing'an's voice came from the carriage: "You're right. Since that's the case, then let's just forget about it. Since you're unwilling, I won't bother with your studies anymore."

"..."

No, that's not what he meant.

Ye Feiran pursed her lips, her mind in turmoil. After a long while, she said, "Never mind, it's getting a bit cold. I'll ride with you; it'll be warmer for both of us."

"What you just said, boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven."

"..." Ye Feiran gritted her teeth: "Although that's what I say, you've already had a child, and I'm still young, so I don't have that many concerns."

Before Ye Qing'an could say anything more, she nimbly climbed into Ye Qing'an's carriage.

Ye Qing'an clicked her tongue inwardly, her gaze fixed on Ye Feiran's somewhat embarrassed face.

Ye Qing'an glanced at him once and then looked away: "How long have you been studying with this Master Lingjun?"

"It's been more than three years."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "So what did he teach you?"

"They taught us everything: absorbing qi, kneading qi, stretching qi, pulling qi, gathering qi, collecting qi, mixing qi, and transforming qi..."

Ye Qing'an nodded: "Then let me ask you, what is the most important Qi-gathering mantra in cultivation?"
