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

Chapter 337 Ferocious Beasts Emerge, Chaos Arises

"The Taotie is a ferocious beast. When a ferocious beast appears, the world is in chaos." Su Yusheng's voice was as loud as a bell, with a sigh in it: "I have said it before, the current emperor is misled by treacherous officials, unable to distinguish right from wrong, black from white. More than ten years ago, this was the case with Gu Duo. Six years ago, this was the case with Prince Duan. These two incidents were truly major events, so I will not mention the others."

"With his reckless behavior, the Siyou Kingdom will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later. Now that the ferocious beast has been unleashed, I'm afraid there will be no more days of peace."

Ye Qing'an paused slightly.

The same thing happened with Gu Duo ten years ago, and the same thing happened with Prince Duan six years ago.

So, what does Su Yusheng know?

"Is the master not going to take care of it?" Old Madam Su asked.

“Manage?” Su Yusheng narrowed his eyes and sneered: “I am no saint. I remember every single thing that has happened in the past ten years clearly.”

"If the world were to change hands and a wise ruler were to emerge, I would be more than happy to do so. Why should I care? Besides, I am just a commoner who has resigned from my official post. How could I possibly care?"

Madam Su quickly reached out and tugged at Su Yusheng's sleeve: "Master, be careful what you say. No matter what, the world still belongs to Yi. If someone hears these words, we'll be in trouble."

"I'm just chatting in my own room, who can hear me? Who would come to listen to the idle talk of an old man like me who has no official position?"

Ye Qing'an stood under the eaves. A breeze blew in the rain, which hit Ye Qing'an's face and body, making her feel cool.

Although the two people in the house were her maternal grandparents, she hadn't seen them for over ten years and hadn't spent much time with them day and night, so she really didn't dare to take the risk.

Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment, then quietly climbed over the wall and left the Su residence. He then took a detour to the main gate of the Su residence and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and the gatekeeper didn't recognize Ye Qing'an. His gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face: "Miss, you are..."

"Please inform Uncle Li to come and see me."

When the gatekeeper saw that Ye Qing'an had called out Uncle Li's name, he didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly went in to inform him.

Uncle Li arrived quickly. Upon seeing Ye Qing'an, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly looked around and invited Ye Qing'an into the mansion: "It's raining outside. Why are you here, Miss? How did you leave the Ye mansion? Did anyone see you?"

Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "It's alright, no one saw me. Prime Minister Ye went to the palace. I have some things I want to discuss with my maternal grandparents."

Uncle Li quickly led Ye Qing'an to the main courtyard. Ye Qing'an pretended to look around and asked, "Why don't my maternal grandfather and grandmother have any servants to serve them in this main courtyard?"

"Master and Madam are used to living in Tongxin Mansion. They don't like having anyone serving them in the courtyard. They feel uncomfortable. Usually, unless there's something important, this old servant waits in the courtyard. If Master and Madam have any instructions, this old servant will then make the arrangements. Sometimes, if this old servant has something to do, I'll tell Master and Madam first, and then go about my own business."

"There are only the master and the old lady in the mansion, and not many servants. There's not much going on usually, so it's fine."

After Uncle Li finished speaking, he called out loudly into the main room, "Master, Madam, Miss Cousin is here."

Su Yusheng and Old Madam Su exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat surprised: "Why is Qing'an here?"

As she asked, Old Madam Su walked to the door. As soon as Ye Qing'an reached the entrance of the main hall, Old Madam Su raised her hand and patted her head: "Didn't you bring an umbrella? Your hair is all wet. Why did you come at this time, in the rain..."

Ye Qing'an waved her hand dismissively: "It's less likely to be discovered when it's raining."

"Quickly go and make a bowl of ginger soup for Miss Biao, and start a fire in the fire, then bring it over."

Su Yusheng was speechless: "Why bother with all this? Are you all stupid?"

Su Yusheng looked at Ye Qing'an: "You, it's raining and you don't know how to use an umbrella? Can't you use magic to keep the rain away? Why did you just obediently come over in the rain?"

Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled. Wasn't this just to gain sympathy?

It's just the truth, something I never say: "Using magic to block the rainwater makes it more noticeable..."

“Alright, let’s say this is a valid point.” Su Yusheng nodded, then turned to Old Madam Su: “What about you? Why bother making ginger soup or carrying a brazier? Why not just use magic to dry her clothes and remove the water stains?”

Old Madam Su was furious and waited for Su Yusheng to finish her sentence: "I just want Qing'an to feel the care of her grandmother, is that not allowed? Ah, you old geezer, why do you have so many opinions? I didn't ask you to do it, and you keep babbling on and on. What are you babbling about? Did I ask you? Did I ask you to do it?"

Ye Qing'an looked at Su Yusheng, the legendary battlefield victorious general, the favored official who had enjoyed half his life, now speechless after being rebuked by the old lady Su. She could only let out a soft snort and flick her sleeves, saying, "Ha, women, you're being unreasonable. You can't even be criticized for doing useless work? Huh?"

"I just can't say it, so what? I just won't let you say it, what are you going to do about it..."

Seeing that Su Yusheng and Madam Su had started arguing again in just a few words, Ye Qing'an looked at Uncle Li with some confusion.

Uncle Li seemed to be used to it, and smiled calmly at Ye Qing'an: "Please come in, Miss. Have a seat. It will be fine after the master and madam have finished arguing. It will be fine in a little while."

Ye Qing'an chuckled, nodded, and followed Uncle Li San into the house with her head bowed.

Just as Uncle Li had predicted, Su Yusheng and Madam Su quickly finished their argument, and in the end, Su Yusheng lost.

Uncle Li was not surprised by the result. He simply turned around, walked to the door, took the ginger soup brought by the maid, and personally served it to Ye Qing'an. The maid followed Uncle Li and placed a brazier next to Ye Qing'an.

Overjoyed at her victory, Madam Su's smile grew even brighter as she looked at Ye Qing'an with a beaming smile: "Qing'an, come here. Is there something important?"

"Yes." Ye Qing'an nodded: "I suppose my maternal grandfather and grandmother have already seen the Taotie this afternoon."

Upon hearing Ye Qing'an mention the Taotie, both Su Yusheng and Madam Su's expressions turned serious: "Yes, we saw it."

Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, seemingly hesitant: "The Taotie is one of the four ancient ferocious beasts. The appearance of the Taotie will surely cause chaos in the world. Ye Qinghao has already entered the palace. I am worried that if something happens, I may be able to protect myself in the chaos, but I will not be able to protect Feiran."
