Chapter 339 Weakness
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips, smiling confidently: "That's not difficult. I'll find a way to bring Fei Ran out."
"However..." Ye Qing'an changed the subject, looking at Su Yusheng and his wife again: "Although we can bring Feiran out, we can only do so secretly. I'm afraid we can't keep Feiran at the Su residence to stay with her maternal grandparents..."
Su Yusheng thought Ye Qing'an was going to say something, but he breathed a sigh of relief and just waved his hand: "Hey, we're not stupid, of course we know this. Fei Ran is Ye Qinghao's son, after all. Ye Qinghao and I are irreconcilable enemies. You have to be secretive when you come here, let alone take Fei Ran away from the Ye residence."
"Don't worry, we..."
Su Yusheng paused subtly, as if suddenly remembering something, before continuing, "Although we haven't returned to Wangjing City for over ten years, we still have some connections and can certainly settle Feiran properly. However, that would probably require sending Feiran away from Wangjing City, is that alright?"
“Yes, it is possible.” Ye Qing’an nodded and gently bit her lip. “Grandfather and grandmother are the few people in this world that I can trust. Fei Ran was saved by my mother’s desperate efforts. If it weren’t for my trust in you two, I would not have entrusted Fei Ran to you.”
Both Su Yusheng and Madam Su were moved when they heard Ye Qing'an say this.
"Don't worry, although neither of us has any great skills, there isn't a single bad one among the descendants of the Su family. Even if Ye Feiran has been spoiled, I will definitely straighten him out." Su Yusheng slammed his hand on the table, full of heroic spirit.
Startled, Madam Su couldn't help but glare at Su Yusheng, but her gaze towards Ye Qing'an was full of affection: "Yes, you don't need to worry. Although Fei Ran will be sent away from Wangjing City, it certainly won't be too far. There are many academies in the mountains near Wangjing City, and an old friend of ours serves as an elder in one of them..."
“We can send Fei Ran there. The academy has teachers and all sorts of things. Fei Ran can also try things out and see what he likes and what suits him. He doesn’t necessarily have to learn forging techniques.”
"Moreover, although the academy is hidden deep in the mountains, it is only half a day's journey from Wangjing City. If you have free time, you can visit it often."
Ye Qing'an responded and felt slightly relieved.
"Thank you, maternal grandparents. I will go back and make plans to send Feiran out as soon as possible."
Su Yusheng responded, but his brows furrowed as he stared at Ye Qing'an: "Don't just think about Ye Feiran all day long. You need to think about yourself too. You're just a young girl, not even twenty years old. You were bullied and suppressed in the Ye family mansion, and later you were even more restricted at the manor. How much ability can you possibly have?"
“Your mother’s revenge must be taken, but don’t we still have you? We’re old and we’re not afraid to fight them to the death. But you can’t do that. You’re still young, and your child is still a child. You can’t afford to get into any more trouble.”
"If anything happens in the Ye residence, don't stubbornly try to bear it all alone. Come and tell us, and we'll find a way to help you."
"At worst, we can still run away. As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild..."
Madam Su nodded in agreement, "Although your maternal grandfather's words are unpleasant, his reasoning is sound. You must not force yourself to do this. Even if we can't get revenge, we can still discuss this further."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled. She sincerely felt that although Su Yusheng was straightforward, short-tempered, and prone to offending people with his words, these two elderly people, whom she had only met a few times, were rare people in this world who genuinely cared about Ye Qing'an.
"I know, Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If I can win, I'll fight; if I can't, I'll run."
"Yeah!"
Everyone in the room laughed.
Ye Qing'an bid farewell to Su Yusheng and Madam Su, and was seen off to the door by Uncle Li. Uncle Li took out a money bag from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Qing'an.
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow, somewhat bewildered. "What is Uncle Li doing?"
Uncle Li laughed: "This was given to Miss Biao by the master and mistress. They were worried that Miss Biao might be short of money."
Uncle Li lowered his voice: "Miss, listen to this old servant. I've worked in this mansion for so many years, and I know all the ins and outs of the servants. There's no problem in this world that money can't solve. If you had enough money, Miss, you could bribe every servant in the mansion."
“Those servants, although they may not seem particularly remarkable on ordinary days, know quite a lot and can always play a crucial role at critical moments.”
"The most common ways for the masters in the mansion to bribe their servants are, firstly, money, and secondly, exploiting their weaknesses. But this old servant feels that most of the servants in the mansion have signed life-and-death contracts, and most of them have been in the mansion for many years. Their kinship with their relatives outside has long been thin. How can relatives with thin kinship be considered weaknesses?"
"There are weaknesses to exploit, but it's just that... the money offered isn't enough."
This was the first time Ye Qing'an had heard such a statement, but upon closer examination, she found that it actually made some sense.
Ye Qing'an chuckled, knowing that if she refused, Su Yusheng and the old lady would worry even more, so she accepted it: "I understand, thank you, Third Uncle. Please also convey my thanks to my maternal grandfather and grandmother."
"Why are you saying these things, Miss? As long as Miss and Young Master are safe and sound, Master and Madam will be overjoyed."
Ye Qing'an left the Su residence. It was already dark outside. Ye Qing'an found an inconspicuous corner and disappeared from the spot.
Emerging from the Dreamlike Cloud Realm, Ye Qing'an heard Zi Xiao's voice outside, as if answering someone's question: "We've been in the room for over an hour. We were reading when we came out earlier. Dinner is ready, but since Miss hasn't made a sound, we servants didn't dare go in to disturb her..."
"Hmm, I'll go in and take a look."
It was Yi Moxu's voice.
Soon, the beaded curtain was lifted, and Ye Qing'an raised her eyes, quietly looking at Yi Moxu.
Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow, walked over and sat down opposite Ye Qing'an, her eyes filled with a smile: "Qing'an, you're still holding a book in your hand, pretending to read it to whom? Your lamp is almost out, don't you even bother to adjust the wick? You... you just got back, didn't you?"
