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

Ye Feiran hesitated for a moment: "Is...it really like that?"

“Yes.” Ye Qing’an smiled. “Every mother has high expectations for her child and will certainly treat him very well. Just like me, although I was born with a damaged dantian that prevented me from cultivating and I was a real waste, my mother’s love for me was no less than that of any other mother for her child.”

Ye Qing'an turned to look at Ye Feiran: "Do you want to know what our mother looks like?"

Ye Feiran hesitated for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "Never mind."

Ye Qing'an laughed: "Speaking of which, I also miss my mother a little. After we return to the manor, I will personally paint a portrait of my mother and hang it in our courtyard. I will also set up an incense table so that I can offer incense to her morning and evening, pay my respects to her, and remember her."

Ye Feiran pursed her lips, but couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

He didn't know why he was so nervous.

After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, the carriage stopped again. Ye Qing'an lifted the carriage curtain and looked out: "We're home, get out of the carriage."

The siblings got off the carriage, and Ye Feiran was still feeling somewhat down because of what they had said in the carriage.

The pageboy quickly walked to Ye Feiran's side and cautiously looked up to peek at Ye Feiran's appearance.

As the two walked to the backyard, the pageboy lowered his voice and said, "It seems that the paper in the young master's study has run out. I'll go and get some more from the steward."

"Go."

The page stopped in his tracks.

Ye Qing'an, who was walking ahead, seemed not to have noticed anything and continued walking straight ahead.

Once they reached the courtyard gate, Ye Qing'an turned to look at Ye Feiran: "Your pageboy has most likely gone to inform your mother."

"When you suddenly got off the carriage earlier, your page came to ask why. I told you it was because I was asking you about your studies, and you became a little impatient. I said a few words and you got angry. If he asks about it later, you mustn't let it slip."

Ye Feiran felt a little embarrassed; the people around him...

Ye Qing'an looked up at the sky. It had rained heavily last night, but today the sky was clear and blue, and it looked extremely beautiful.

"Keep an eye on the people around you, and don't let them lead you by the nose. After you go back, cultivate diligently, just follow the incantation you asked about earlier. Carefully feel it and see if there's any difference."

Ye Feiran nodded sullenly: "I understand."

Ye Qing'an then stepped into the courtyard, and the siblings parted ways.

Granny Wei greeted them with a smile, but there was some curiosity in her eyes: "I saw the eldest young lady and the second young master standing outside the door for a long time. What are they talking about? Why don't you two even have a smile on your faces?"

Ye Qing'an shook her head, somewhat helplessly: "How could I possibly laugh when I saw Ye Feiran like that? Today, I asked him to ride with me so I could check on his studies, but before we could even exchange two words, we started arguing. In the middle of the argument, he threw a huge tantrum and jumped out of the car and ran away."

"The streets were so crowded with people that I was almost scared to death. Luckily, I finally figured it out and ran back."

Granny Wei clicked her tongue in astonishment: "I remember when I was in the manor, the second young master was quite dependent on the eldest young lady. How come he's changed so much in just a few years?"

Ye Qing'an gave a bitter smile: "I don't know how it turned out like this. It's also my fault. Because of that incident, I missed out on the most crucial four years of Fei Ran's life."

Granny Wei sighed, "How can you blame Miss? She was forced to leave by circumstances. The Second Young Master is the legitimate son of the Ye family, so the Eldest Young Master had no way to take him away."

"If anyone is to blame, it's the people who have corrupted and led him astray over the years."

The implication was quite clear. Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes, sighed, and returned to her room looking dejected.

As soon as she entered the room, Ye Qing'an quietly pushed the window open a crack, then stood by the window and stared outside.

A short while later, Ye Qing'an saw Wei Mama leave the courtyard.

Zixiao, who was standing to the side, also noticed it. After a long while, she pursed her lips and said, "These past few days, it seems like Granny Wei has been following us."

Ye Qing'an wasn't particularly surprised: "You were sent by Liu Xueying. She's trying to find evidence of your relationship with Liu Xueying."

Ye Qing'an traced a line on the window frame with her finger: "You can keep an eye on her movements for me on a regular basis."

"Yes."

Ye Qing'an returned to her chair and took a sip of tea when she heard footsteps outside.

Ye Qing'an frowned. Granny Wei had just left. If she had really sided with the Sixth Concubine as he suspected, the Sixth Concubine shouldn't be coming to visit now. What had happened this time?

As Ye Qing'an was pondering this, she heard a maid announce from outside the door: "Young Miss, Physician Xu requests an audience with you."

Ye Qing'an was taken aback. The inner courtyard was where the Ye family members lived, and the guests from the outer courtyard rarely came in.

Isn't Xu Mo afraid that others in the manor will have doubts about his reckless behavior?

However, Ye Qing'an then remembered that Ye Qinghao, who was in charge of the household, hoped that the two of them could get together, preferably lying on the same bed, and naturally he was happy to see it happen.

As long as Ye Qinghao remains silent, the opinions of others can be disregarded.

Ye Qing'an stood up, straightened her clothes, and then went out to greet the guest.

"Why did Doctor Xu come here?"

Xu Mo pursed his thin lips slightly: "I've come to check on the young master's injuries. It's been three days, it's time for a follow-up examination."

"Ah..." Ye Qing'an blinked: "I almost forgot about this. I'm so sorry to trouble you, Doctor Xu, for remembering this matter for me. Doctor Xu, this way please."

Xu Mo followed Ye Qing'an to the side room where Eleven was staying. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Eleven reading a book, which was one of the enlightenment books that Xu Mo had given him.

The trinkets that Xu Mo had sent earlier, as well as the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, were all laid out and placed where they should be.

Xu Mo couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile, but only for a moment before he forced himself to suppress it and pretended to be indifferent.

"Dr. Xu will come to give you a follow-up check-up on the 11th."

Eleven quickly turned around and looked at Xu Mo with a smile: "Ah, big brother, are you going to re-bandage my wound?"

Hearing Eleven call him "Big Brother," Xu Mo paused slightly. Eleven had always called him that before, and he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. But now that he knew... after knowing what happened, it sounded really awkward to him.

Xu Mo pursed his lips: "I'm actually two years older than your mother, so you shouldn't call me brother."

Eleven blinked: "Then... should I call him Uncle?"

uncle……

He wasn't entirely satisfied either, but compared to his brother, it was still much better.

Xu Mo nodded, walked behind Eleven, and glanced at the book Eleven was reading: "Can you understand this book? Is there anything you don't understand? If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Watching from the side, Ye Qing'an inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat like... like a father urging his child to do his homework?
