Chapter 355 I have one condition
Lan Qing held the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes darting around, and she began to think it over carefully.
This is indeed... an opportunity.
Although the woman in front of me had previously bought the Cuiwei Tower and asked me to help manage it, and even to help collect information about the imperial court and the martial arts world.
However, she didn't trust him. He didn't know her identity and had no way to interact with her on a daily basis, leaving him completely passive.
If he could enter the Ye residence, everything else would be secondary; at least he could see the woman before him, who was his master, more often. It would also allow her to understand him better…
Having struggled in this brothel for so many years, she wouldn't dare say she's good at anything else, but her eye for people is extremely accurate.
Although this was only the second time she had met the woman in front of her, she was already quite clear about her feelings.
This person is no ordinary individual.
Ambitious and decisive.
And after learning her true identity, he became even more certain.
Although the name "Miss Ye" sounds like that of a young lady from a respectable family, the appearance and methods of the person in front of me suggest otherwise.
Previously, in the eyes of the people of Wangjing, Miss Ye was practically synonymous with good-for-nothing.
Furthermore, she had a child out of wedlock, which severely damaged her reputation.
The person before her, however, had absolutely no connection to being a good-for-nothing. Now it seemed that this reputation was more like a cover-up, but what exactly it was concealing, she currently had no idea…
Having a child out of wedlock means that this eldest daughter of the Ye family doesn't have to worry about getting married.
Everyone in Wangjing knows what the surname Ye represents.
The woman before me has deliberately built up her reputation like this; at the very least, her ambition is to conquer the Ye family and the Ye clan.
If we think about it on a larger scale, then it's really a bit...
Countless thoughts flashed through Lan Qing's mind, but in the end, she decided to take the gamble.
“I am willing.” Lan Qing raised her eyes, her gaze now firm: “I am willing to disguise myself as the Madam of the Ye family and enter the Ye residence.”
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. Excellent, she hadn't misjudged him.
“But…” Lan Qing took a deep breath: “I have one condition.”
"Conditions?" Ye Qing'an repeated, a hint of amusement in his voice. "What conditions?"
"Although I have entered the Ye Mansion, I hope that I will continue to manage Cuiwei Tower. I also hope that I will continue to handle the task of gathering information for my master."
Lan Qing knew perfectly well that since Ye Qing'an was able to kill Madam Ye, it meant that Madam Ye was someone Ye Qing'an could make disappear as long as the right opportunity presented itself.
Now that she has entered the Ye residence and is impersonating Madam Ye, if she puts aside all her other affairs, one day when Ye Qing'an finds an opportunity to make Madam Ye disappear completely, she will lose her usefulness.
Therefore, she was determined to firmly grasp both the tasks of Cuiwei Tower and gathering information to help Ye Qing'an create an information network.
When Ye Qing'an heard Lan Qing make such a condition, he knew what she was thinking, and his smile deepened: "Okay, very good. Since you've brought it up, I should naturally grant your wish."
"Take a look and see if there's anything you need to pack. Once you're back at the Ye residence, think about how often you should return to Cuiwei Tower to handle things here. You decide that yourself. I'll have Jiuxiao contact you and bring you out then."
"Alright, thank you, Master." Lan Qing stood up and glanced around the room. "I don't have much to take with me. I'll go tell my maid and then go with you, Master."
Ye Qing'an responded, and Lan Qing turned and left the room.
Jiu Xiao peered out through the door, and when he saw Lan Qing enter another room, he turned back and said, "I was so suffocated! I didn't dare to make a sound when you were talking to Lan Qing."
Jiuxiao blinked: "You really want Lanqing to go to the Ye residence to impersonate Liu Xueying? But... Lanqing grew up in this brothel, she's got that worldly air about her, do you think she can pull it off?"
"It is precisely because she grew up in a brothel that she has seen all kinds of people, knows how to deal with different situations, and has the ability to speak to people in a way that suits them. Therefore, she is the best candidate."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "Alright, you should go back and see how to make a good human skin mask based on Liu Xueying's face."
After thinking for a moment, Jiu Xiao simply nodded and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Ye Qing'an waited in the room for about half an hour before Lan Qing hurriedly returned to the room: "There are many things to do upstairs, Master, you have been waiting for a long time."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "It's alright. If there's nothing we need to take, let's go."
Ye Qinghao's departure took away most of the guards in the Ye residence. Ye Qing'an, with Lan Qing, returned to the Ye residence smoothly. After returning to the Ye residence, Ye Qing'an went straight to the courtyard where Liu Xueying was.
Jiuxiao must have heard the commotion, because he came out of his bedroom in the main courtyard and waved to the two of them.
"Liu Xueying probably drugged everyone in the courtyard before. I just went to the backyard and saw that all the servants there were sleeping soundly."
Jiuxiao took out a human skin mask from the table next to him: "I just made it. I tried it on myself and it looks pretty realistic."
Lan Qing took the human skin mask, walked to the bronze mirror, paused for a moment on her own face, and then carefully put on the human skin mask before turning around.
"It looks just like it!" Jiuxiao clapped his hands and sighed, chuckling, "When I wore it myself just now, probably because my face is relatively large, I felt it didn't look quite right. But now that you're wearing it, it's exactly the same."
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on Lan Qing's face, and he nodded slightly.
Lan Qing turned her head again and adjusted the human skin mask on her face before whispering, "I wonder where Madam Ye's body is. I want to go and see it for myself. If I'm going to pretend, I have to make it look convincing. And to make it convincing, I can't just have a face."
“She’s dead, so I can’t imitate her words and actions. I just want to take a closer look at her body and see if there are any unusual moles or scars on her body.”
Ye Qing'an replied, "The body is in the woodshed in the backyard."
After saying that, he instructed Jiuxiao: "Go and bring the body here."
Jiu Xiao responded and hurried away. Ye Qing'an then turned his gaze to Lan Qing's mask: "It's easy to fake appearance and physical scars, but it's not easy to fake voice and mannerisms. Do you have a way?"
"I have some ideas, Master, just keep an eye on them."
