Chapter 214: Gratitude and hatred
"..."
It's really killing me.
Ye Qing'an felt her ears turn red and quickly said, "I have something to do, goodbye."
Ye Qing'an ran away as fast as she could, not listening to anything Yi Moxu said.
Granny Wei and Zixiao quickly followed.
Yi Moxu frowned slightly as he looked at Ye Qing'an's expression. Did she hate him that much? Was she so annoyed that she could even talk to him?
Why?
Because of what happened six years ago, she has suffered for so many years.
Or was it because he knew she was the woman from the vegetarian hall six years ago, and that Eleven was his child, but he didn't tell her and chose to keep it a secret?
Or perhaps, it was because when his Li Huo Mou flared up last night, he chose to use her blood to neutralize it and quickly regain his senses?
Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes. These things were indeed all because of him, and he had no way to defend himself.
only……
It was precisely because of these three reasons combined that he realized he had to keep Ye Qing'an by his side.
Whether she likes it or not.
A cold glint flashed in Yi Moxu's eyes. If Ye Qing'an was willing, that would be even better.
If she is unwilling, then he must find a way to make her willing.
Or perhaps, he would try every means to force her to stay by his side.
Yi Moxu turned around and returned to his courtyard. Yu Jie appeared silently behind him: "Lord."
Yi Moxu nodded: "Send someone to keep a close eye on Ye Qing'an. I need to know her every move."
"Yes." Yu Jie replied, cautiously glancing at Yi Moxu's expression. Although Yi Moxu had asked him to investigate countless people before, he had never been asked to keep an eye on one person to the point that every move he made had to be reported to Yi Moxu before.
It seems that this young lady of the Ye family is a different kind of existence for the Lord.
I just don't know what exactly this difference is.
Yu Jie cautiously said, "Miss Ye's blood can calm the Li Huo Eyes within Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty intend to keep Miss Ye as a blood vessel, so that whenever Your Majesty's Li Huo Eyes flare up, you can take some blood from her to calm them down?"
Yi Moxu only gave Yu Jie a cold look.
Yu Jie shuddered, coughed lightly, and said, "Alright, it seems that's not what the Lord intends to do. I understand."
I've heard that this Miss Ye possesses a Holy Spirit Body. Although the Lord's Fire Separation Technique and Profound Spirit Technique are not from the same lineage, these two techniques can complement each other. Miss Ye has a high innate physique, so the Lord must want to cultivate with her to improve his power.
Yu Jie nodded. The Venerable Lord had always been very enthusiastic about cultivation. However, he did not expect that the Venerable Lord's Fire Separation Technique had already reached the ninth level and could not be advanced any further, yet he still did not forget to cultivate.
As the saying goes, "If you don't row against the current, you'll drift backward."
Your Majesty, that's probably what you're thinking, right?
Yi Moxu didn't know what Yu Jie was thinking, and just tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "In half a month, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Qinghao should take Liu Xueying and Ye Qing'an to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Most of the other people in the mansion will also go out to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations outside the mansion."
"At that time, the Ye Mansion will be empty and the defenses will be weak. We will set that day to enter the forbidden area of the Ye Mansion and find out what's going on."
"Yes," Yu Jie replied in a low voice.
Having received the Chicken Feather Order, it was only natural that he had to put it to use. The next day, Ye Qing'an left the mansion under the pretext of inspecting Su Wan's dowry shop.
Moreover, under the guise of an undercover investigation, he did not bring a single maid or servant.
As soon as she left the mansion, Ye Qing'an went straight to the restaurant that Ye Qinghao had given her. When she arrived at the restaurant, she asked for a private room and called the storyteller up.
Ye Qing'an took out a silver ingot from his sleeve: "I like to hear about the grudges and feuds between the imperial family or the powerful and wealthy in this city."
The storyteller looked at the silver ingot in Ye Qing'an's hand and his face lit up with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss, I'll go down and tell you right away."
After the storyteller left, Jiuxiao revealed himself: "You have people following you, and more than one group."
“I know.” Ye Qing’an wasn’t surprised: “There’s Ye Qinghao’s people watching what I did after I came out, so they can make an assessment. There’s also Liu Xueying’s people, and maybe Ye Weilan’s people, or even the people of the other concubines in the mansion.”
Ye Qing'an didn't care: "If they want to watch, then let them watch."
Jiuxiao clicked his tongue: "You're just going to listen to storytelling here all day? Why don't you go check out that brothel you bought?"
“You can visit brothels anytime, but it’s best to go at night. It’s not the right time now.” Ye Qing’an took a pastry from the table. “Listening to storytelling is excellent. Although storytellers often exaggerate, most of the stories they tell are not entirely unfounded.”
"If you want to understand a city as quickly as possible, the simplest way is to look at it from a few aspects. If you want to know about emperors or the most powerful people, find a storyteller."
"If you want to know about the playboys in the city, or the private affairs of certain powerful people, go to brothels."
"To learn about the strange and unusual stories of ordinary people, look for beggars on the streets and alleys."
Jiuxiao clicked his tongue: "There are so many rules?"
Downstairs, the storyteller slammed his gavel, and his melodious voice immediately echoed throughout the restaurant: "Today, I'll tell you about the grudges and feuds between the four great families."
"The four great families are Ye, Li, Liu, and Gu. Ye Qinghao of the Ye family is the current prime minister. Li Rui, the head of the Li family, is the General of the Cavalry and wields great military power. Liu Enze, the head of the Liu family, is the Grand Tutor Liu and comes from a family of scholars. Gu Hai, the head of the Gu family, is the Duke of Anguo and a true hereditary noble family with a history of over a hundred years."
"These are all well-known to everyone, so I won't go into detail. Just talking about the grudges and feuds between these four families would take a long time."
"Let's talk about two important matters today. The first is the feud between the Ye family patriarch and the Liu family patriarch over the love affair."
"Back then, when Su Wan, the daughter of the Su family, was still a young lady, she was a beauty as beautiful as a fairy, graceful and charming. Her beauty was unparalleled and could topple kingdoms. At that time, countless people in the entire Wangjing City regarded Su Wan as their dream lover. As soon as Su Wan came of age, the number of people who came to propose marriage almost broke down the threshold of the Su family."
"This included Ye Qinghao and Liu Enze, but at that time, neither of them were the head of the family."
"Among those who pursued Su Wan at the time, these two were the most aggressive. One would give her jewelry today, and the other would give her poems tomorrow. They even got drunk and caused a scene at His Majesty's banquet because of Su Wan..."
"Unfortunately, it was probably because Ye Qinghao knew better how to please a beauty that he won her heart in the end."
"However, after winning the heart of his beauty, Ye Qinghao did not cherish this hard-won woman. Not long after, he took a concubine, and then an incident occurred that became famous throughout the capital..."
