Chapter 398 Somewhat Similar to the Master
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Ye residence, before Ye Qing'an could even disembark, she heard a sweet, innocent voice from outside: "Someone come quick! Someone come quick! The young lady's carriage has returned."
"Go and inform the housekeeper immediately."
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows, pushed open the carriage door and got out of the carriage, only to see the gatekeeper calling inside: "The young lady is back, she's back! Go and inform the steward quickly."
Ye Qing'an then remembered that she had been accompanied by guards when she went out earlier.
It's likely that the coachman had been bribed by the Fire Emperor Pavilion, and the guards had already been shaken off when the Fire Emperor Pavilion took her away.
Therefore, the guards thought she had been kidnapped or lost, and hurriedly ran back to report.
Seeing this situation, the people from the Ye family had been searching for her for a while.
As Ye Qing'an was thinking, she saw the steward walk quickly out from inside.
Seeing the crowd of people peeking out from outside, the steward quickly said to Ye Qing'an, "Miss, you're finally back! You scared us half to death!"
Ye Qing'an smiled and stepped inside.
After they entered the room and the door closed behind them, the butler asked again, "Miss, what exactly happened? The manager of Qianjiang Tower said that you always went alone before, but at some point, a young and handsome boy suddenly appeared in your private room."
"Later, when you left, you were with that boy. Then, halfway through the journey, when you passed through a crowded street, the guards suddenly couldn't find your carriage. They searched several places around the area, but couldn't find it..."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "I met an interesting boy..."
"It was quite an adventure. He seemed to be hiding from someone when he hurriedly jumped into my private room through the window. He was quite good-looking. I thought he looked like a startled rabbit, which was rather amusing, so I let him stay."
"It seems that some naive young master came out of nowhere and, after entering, he was drinking tea, eating snacks, and listening to storytelling with great interest. He thought that someone below had said something unpleasant, so he jumped down without caring about anything else and started fighting with those people."
"When I left, I automatically and consciously jumped back into my carriage."
The butler paused, glanced at Ye Qing'an's smiling face, and took a deep breath: "Does Miss really like that boy?"
"She's quite good-looking," Ye Qing'an said with a smile. "And she has a rather interesting personality too."
The butler took a deep breath, his gaze towards Ye Qing'an somewhat subtle. After a long while, he remembered what he had originally wanted to know: "How did the carriage disappear earlier? And where did Miss go afterward?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "At that time, we were passing through a busy street with a lot of people. There were people in front of and behind the carriage. Then he suddenly told me that his family had a villa nearby. The villa had a nice view and contained a lot of good things. He asked me if I wanted to go with him."
"I agreed, and then he instructed the coachman to take us there. I didn't know there were guards with us, so I didn't pay any attention to it..."
The butler frowned, somewhat disapproving: "Miss, you met that boy for the first time, and he said he would take you to a completely unfamiliar place to play, and you went? Aren't you afraid that you might meet a bad person?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled softly: "Although I'm not very smart, I still have the necessary vigilance. I've carefully examined him, and he doesn't have a trace of spiritual power. Although I haven't been cultivating for long, my spiritual power should be enough to deal with him."
"Furthermore, I observed his words and actions. Although his behavior seemed unconventional, it was also polite and well-mannered. He was clearly a child raised in a wealthy family. Moreover, he did not wear a mask, so his true appearance was visible. Many people in the restaurant saw his face, which shows that he was not someone who was afraid to hide his face."
"Only after considering all these factors together did I dare to make that decision."
"And..." Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "In fact, it has proven that my choice was not wrong. Look, I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?"
Ye Qing'an turned her head and saw that the butler's gaze was thoughtful.
Ye Qing'an suddenly remembered the day before when she had devised a plan to kidnap Madam Gu, and then disguised herself as Madam Gu to steal from the Gu residence...
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled. Sure enough, she had dug this pit for herself.
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and asked the steward, "I asked you to report to Father what happened in the mansion, especially what happened to my second sister. Have you reported it? Has Father responded?"
The butler lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, there is. The master said that Miss should keep the second young lady in check. During this period, the second young lady should stay in the courtyard and it is best not to go out."
This is what being confined to one's home means.
Ye Qing'an nodded, her lips slightly pursed: "Actually, the best thing would be for Second Sister and Fifth Prince to get married as soon as possible. But now, because of the Taotie incident, the formalities of the marriage between Second Sister and Fifth Prince will probably have to be put on hold for a while."
"After all, whether it's the betrothal or anything else, Father is away, Mother has had that incident and is not in a good mood right now, and none of the people in charge of the household are here, so there is no way to proceed."
The butler nodded, and after hearing Ye Qing'an's words, he felt a little relieved.
This young lady is probably not someone else impersonating her.
only……
The butler glanced at Ye Qing'an. To be able to run off with any handsome man she saw—this young lady's temperament was somewhat similar to the master's…
The steward sighed. Doctor Xu was not in the manor at the moment. If Doctor Xu were here, things would probably be more difficult.
I wonder who this so-called young master is?
If, as the manager of Qianjiang Tower speculated, it was a male prostitute from Nanfeng Pavilion, then things would be easier to handle.
However, judging from Ye Qing'an's words, that young master did not seem to be a male prostitute, but rather seemed to be the young master of a wealthy family.
If that's the case, then things are really going to be difficult.
The steward was somewhat worried, but Ye Qingquan had no idea what he was thinking. He just looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dark. We haven't seen Eleven yet. I have to go and check on him."
As Ye Qing'an spoke, she paused again: "By the way, has any news come back from Liuyun City? Has Fei Ran's poison been cured?"
