Chapter 150 You should call him maternal grandfather
The carriage stopped, and Ye Qing'an led Eleven out of the carriage.
"Qingquanlou?" Eleven looked up at the sign upstairs and quickly darted inside: "I'm going to ask what good food they have."
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu followed behind, and Ye Qing'an heard Yi Moxu's hushed voice coming from the side.
"stepfather?"
Sure enough, I heard it.
Ye Qing'an gritted her teeth: "You were the one who talked nonsense in front of Eleven."
Yi Moxu naturally knew what she meant by her nonsense, and only curled the corners of her mouth: "A stepfather is not bad either, at least he is still a father. It proves that Eleven has accepted me."
"..." Ye Qing'an watched Yi Moxu quickly follow Eleven into the room and gritted her teeth inwardly: "Old fox, I'll just tease you to death."
The food at Qingquanlou was indeed extremely delicious. Eleven ate until his stomach was round and full, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he started to doze off while rubbing his belly. He fell asleep halfway through the journey.
When they arrived at the gate of the Ye residence, the carriage stopped. Ye Qing'an looked at the sleeping Eleven, bent down, picked her up, and took her out of the carriage.
Yi Moxu had already dismounted. Upon seeing this, he paused for a moment before quickly stepping forward and saying, "Let me do it."
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "It's okay, he's only four years old, he doesn't weigh much."
Ye Qingan got off the carriage and carried Eleven straight into the mansion.
Perhaps, as she said, the child is still young and doesn't weigh much.
However, Yi Moxu couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that he hadn't carried Eleven before; even at its lightest, it weighed at least thirty-odd pounds...
Yi Moxu glanced at Ye Qing'an's back. Ye Qing'an was very graceful, but also very thin.
It must be very difficult to carry someone so petite and small, weighing over 30 pounds.
But looking at her, she seemed quite skilled at it...
As Yi Moxu thought this, she remembered that before she returned to the Ye residence, she had always been raising Eleven by herself.
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes, concealing the darkness within, and stepped inside.
As soon as Ye Qing'an reached the door, she was stopped by the steward who was guarding the door: "Miss, you have finally returned to the manor. The master asked this old servant to wait for you at the door and ask you to go to the main courtyard immediately after you return to the manor."
"Daddy?"
The Su family's carriage should have entered Wangjing City two hours ago, and Ye Qinghao should have received the news by now.
It wasn't unexpected that someone would be sent to wait for her here.
only……
Ye Qing'an looked down at the sleeping child in her arms and was about to speak when Yi Moxu walked in from outside the door: "I will send Eleven back. You go to see Lord Ye."
Ye Qing'an nodded. Compared to the people in this mansion, she was more willing to believe Yi Moxu.
Ye Qing'an handed Eleven over to Yi Moxu before turning to the butler and saying, "Let's go."
Just as Ye Qing'an had predicted, upon seeing Ye Qinghao, before she could even bow, Ye Qinghao spoke up: "Did you know that the Su family has returned to the capital?"
There were probably quite a few people who saw her flying kites in the suburbs and heading towards the Su family's caravan.
Although not everyone may recognize her, it's always good to be prepared.
Furthermore… Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. She and Yi Moxu left the manor, and she did not believe that Ye Qinghao would not send someone to follow them.
Ye Qing'an pondered for a while before nodding gently: "I happened to run into them when I took Eleven to fly kites in the suburbs earlier."
"At first, I didn't recognize it as the Su family's convoy; it was Doctor Xu who reminded me."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "When the Su family moved out of Wangjing City, my daughter was still young and didn't have many memories of the Su family. It's been more than a month since I returned to Wangjing City, but I haven't heard anyone mention that the Emperor summoned the Su family back to the capital."
“It is a capital offense for officials dispatched to the capital to return without being summoned. I was worried that this matter would implicate our Ye family, so I hurriedly went to inquire about the situation.”
Ye Qinghao's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face: "Oh? What did the Su family say?"
"It is said that Master Su resigned from his official post."
Ye Qing'an frowned slightly: "But when Master Su saw me, he didn't give me a good look. He scolded me a few times and then kicked me out."
"I'm not aware of the other specific details."
Ye Qinghao said thoughtfully, "Master Su, you should call him maternal grandfather."
Ye Qing'an looked embarrassed, but she obediently replied, "Yes, daughter understands."
"The Su family is your maternal grandparents' family. Now that they've returned to Beijing, what are your thoughts on this?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "Ever since I can remember, my mother has rarely taken me to visit my maternal grandparents' family..."
Ye Qinghao nodded, because at that time, the Ye family and the Su family had already fallen out.
"I remember that later, when the Su family was demoted and sent to a remote area, the Su family members came to our Ye family and caused a great disturbance. They even got into a fight, resulting in many deaths and injuries."
Yes, there is such a case.
"Moreover, after my mother passed away, the Su family didn't even send anyone to offer condolences. Since they are so heartless and ungrateful, I naturally don't want to have anything to do with them anymore."
Ye Qing'an's words contained a hint of anger: "And Su... and my maternal grandfather, he resigned from his official post and returned. His status in Wangjing City will probably plummet."
“I’m worried…” Ye Qing paused, “I’m worried they’ll use me, use the Ye family, and try to climb the social ladder.”
Ye Qing'an lowered her head: "My surname is Ye. Although I am the granddaughter of the Su family, this relationship only exists because of my mother. Now that my mother has passed away, and so many years have passed since her death, the Su family has ignored me and Feiran. I am well aware of the coldness and indifference between them."
“Alright.” Ye Qinghao nodded. “I just wanted to ask you what you think about this matter. After all, blood ties will always exist. You’re right, since the Su family doesn’t care about you and your brother, you don’t need to pay attention to them either.”
"If they find you, just come and report to me, and I will handle it for you."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an agreed.
Ye Qinghao's gaze swept over Ye Qing'an's face before he asked, "I heard that you left the manor with Xu Mo today? What made you suddenly decide to go out for a stroll together?"
A suspicious blush appeared on Ye Qing'an's face: "When Doctor Xu saw that Eleven was bored in the manor, he said he would take Eleven out to play and fly kites. Eleven wanted to go, so I took Eleven with me."
"How are things going with Doctor Xu during the Eleventh Month?"
Ye Qing'an lowered his head even further: "It's quite good. Perhaps because Xu Yixiu is a medical practitioner, he has a gentle nature and is very meticulous. Eleven likes him very much."
"That's good." Ye Qinghao smiled slightly. "I'm glad Eleven likes it."
"Seeing you two getting along so well makes me very happy. You are my daughter, and I don't want you to be all alone with a child; that would be too hard for you."
"Yes……"
