Chapter 493 What does it look like?
Ye Qing'an frowned slightly, took a deep breath in silence, and then spoke: "Let's go. We won't get anything out of you. Let's go back first."
The Ye family is also going through a turbulent time, and it's uncertain how long Lan Qing and Jiu Xiao can hold out.
When Ye Qing'an returned to the Ye residence, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "You're finally back. I felt like we were about to give up. I was just wondering when you would come back."
"What? Can't hold on anymore? Someone's coming?"
Jiuxiao, who had just been on the verge of death, immediately perked up when Ye Qing'an asked her question: "It's not just that people have come, the people have been coming non-stop. If I hadn't been by your side before, just looking at today's situation, anyone who didn't know better would think that you were a very prestigious and powerful person in the Ye family."
"Ye Zirui, the steward and the like are one thing, but all the concubines in the manor have come to visit, and Ye Weilan has also come. Not only that, but outside the manor, there's a constant stream of ladies and young ladies. I'm just wondering, when you were in the manor, it seemed like not so many people came to see you, so why did they all come at once as soon as you left..."
"..." Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "I suddenly feel that staying by my side as my spirit beast is really a waste of your talent."
"You finally figured it out?" Jiu Xiao slapped his knee. "I thought so too, I've always thought so. But what talent of mine do you think is most buried?"
"Eloquence." Ye Qing'an scoffed. "You should become a storyteller in a restaurant."
"..." Jiu Xiao finally realized that this wasn't about feeling that his talent was being wasted; it was a direct attempt to belittle him.
"Heh, that's true, isn't it? What can I do? I'm just a spirit beast, and I can only form a contract with you, so that's all I can do." Jiuxiao waved his hand: "I'm leaving, I'm going to tell stories."
Just as Jiu Xiao and Lan Qing left, hurried footsteps sounded again. The person deliberately softened their footsteps as they reached the door before entering.
Upon seeing Ye Qing'an sitting on the edge of the bed with her eyes open, Wei Mama, who had just entered, was taken aback for a moment: "Miss, you're awake?"
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded, raised her hand and rubbed her temples: "Did I sleep for a long time? There have been a lot of things going on lately, and I haven't had a proper rest in a long time. This sleep seems to have been a bit more restful."
Granny Wei replied, "Yes, many people came to visit you earlier, but when I came in, I saw you were sleeping, so I turned them all away. How are you feeling now, Miss? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"It's nothing," Ye Qing'an sighed. "I just felt a little tired, but my mind is much clearer after a nap. Is something the matter?"
"Yes." Only then did Granny Wei remember the purpose of her trip, and she hurriedly said, "The steward asked me to inform Miss that there are some important matters to discuss with her, and asked Miss to go to the study in the main courtyard if she wakes up."
Ye Qing'an paused slightly. The main study?
Ye Qing'an knew perfectly well that the reason she was being told to go to the study in the main courtyard was most likely because Ye Qinghao had returned.
Ye Zirui acted very quickly, and in just a short while, he brought Ye Qinghao back.
It's understandable, after all, the steward is Ye Qinghao's spirit beast. If he wants to see Ye Qinghao, a single summoning spell can solve the problem.
They probably didn't want to arouse suspicion, so they deliberately delayed the process.
"Okay." Ye Qing'an raised her hand and tidied her slightly messy sideburns. "My hair is a bit disheveled from sleeping. Can you help me re-comb it into a bun?"
Granny Wei quickly agreed and helped Ye Qing'an to the dressing table.
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the mirror, and she said casually, "My Aunt Hua Jin, even Gu Duo was so infatuated with her, she must be very beautiful, right?"
Granny Wei was a little stunned, wondering why Ye Qing'an had suddenly brought up Ye Huajin again.
Ye Qing'an seemed to know what she was thinking, and only chuckled: "Perhaps it's because of what you told me about the past, but when I dreamed earlier, I actually dreamed about Gu Duo and Aunt Hua Jin..."
It turned out to be the case.
Granny Wei quickly smiled and said, "Miss Hua Jin is indeed very beautiful..."
As she spoke, Granny Wei glanced at the bronze mirror and smiled, "Speaking of which, Miss's eyebrows and eyes do resemble Miss Hua Jin's somewhat."
"Really?" Ye Qing casually took out a white jade hairpin from the jewelry box. "It's a pity, I was too young to remember what Aunt Hua Jin looked like. I'm really curious about what Aunt Hua Jin looked like."
“It’s not difficult for Miss to know,” Granny Wei laughed. “There’s always been a list of beauties in the martial arts world, updated every five years. Miss Hua Jin was on the list fifteen years ago, and there was even a portrait of her in it.”
"Although it's a book from more than ten years ago, every edition of the Beauty Directory has sold very well. Many people still treasure the Beauty Directory from more than ten years ago, so it's not difficult to find a copy to read."
"Is that so?" Ye Qing'an laughed. "I'll go find it and take a look when I have time."
Granny Wei had already put the hairpin in Ye Qing'an's hair. Ye Qing'an smiled and stood up: "Let's go to the main courtyard."
Just as Ye Qing'an had predicted, Ye Qinghao had indeed returned.
The butler and Ye Zirui were both in the study.
Ye Qing'an lowered his head and entered the door: "Father."
Ye Qinghao nodded and waved to Ye Zirui: "Alright, go and take care of what I just told you. Although it's not a critical moment yet, it's always good to be prepared. Now that the Ye family has Qing An as its supreme leader, countless eyes are watching Qing An's every move every day, so we should be even more careful."
"Yes." Ye Zirui bowed his head and turned around. He glanced at Ye Qing'an before lowering his head again and leaving.
After Ye Zirui left, the butler closed the study door again.
Ye Qinghao twirled the jade wrench on his finger, glanced at Ye Qing'an, and asked a question that was not about what she had told Ye Zirui.
"Did you see Liu Xueying in the Night Enchantment Illusion the morning before yesterday?"
Ye Qing'an was prepared, and simply nodded with her lips pressed tightly together: "Yes, I did see my mother in the Night Enchantment Illusion that day."
Ye Qing'an bit her lip, her voice sorrowful: "That day, I was about to return to the carriage to rest at the camp when I heard someone exclaim. I turned around and saw that Eleven had been kidnapped by men in black."
"I hurriedly followed them and went with the men in black to a courtyard. When I arrived, I found that besides Eleven, my mother was also tied up in the courtyard."
