Chapter 148 Childish and innocent
Ye Qing'an took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve: "These are fourth-grade pills. Grandfather, you can take them first. It's better than nothing. After a while, I will find a way to get seventh-grade pills, and Grandfather's illness will be completely cured."
"A fourth-grade pill?" Su Yusheng looked at Ye Qing'an suspiciously for a moment, then took the bottle and opened the stopper.
Su Yusheng's eyes widened. The bottle indeed contained Rank 4 pills, and there were at least a dozen or so Rank 4 pills in the bottle, if not twenty.
"Where did you get so many grade four pills?"
Ye Qing settled in, realizing it wasn't the right time to reveal what the Cloud Dreamland Seed possessed.
"Didn't I say before that I repaired my dantian by chance? The person who repaired my dantian is now a retainer of the Ye family, and these pills were given to me by him."
Su Yusheng frowned: "A retainer in the Ye family? You dare to take pills made by Ye Qinghao's men?"
"Grandfather, rest assured, this person is trustworthy."
Su Yusheng was still somewhat hesitant: "Even if that person is trustworthy, fourth-grade pills are hard to come by. You probably only have this many, right? If you give them all to me, won't he be unhappy? Will he stop giving you pills in the future?"
"You are currently at the stage of cultivating your foundation. Good pills will greatly benefit you. You should keep these pills for yourself; I don't need them."
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "It's alright, he has plenty of pills."
"Alright, this is Qing'an's filial piety, so don't refuse it. Just accept it," said Madam Su from the side.
Su Yusheng pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "What filial piety..."
Although they had only spoken for a short while, Ye Qing'an had already noticed Su Yusheng's soft-hearted yet stubborn nature. Upon hearing this, she simply chuckled softly and said nothing more.
Su Yusheng put the bottle away, glanced at Ye Qing'an again, and then coughed lightly: "After we return to Wangjing City, you must not come to our door again."
"Hey, you old man, won't you listen to me? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you off the stage right now!"
Su Yusheng also got impatient: "I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you interrupting me?"
"What I mean is, didn't she just say that she came back for revenge? She just hasn't broken ties with Ye Qinghao yet, and Ye Qinghao still values her. She wants to stay in the Ye residence for now and gather evidence that the Ye family plotted against her and killed Wan'er."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes."
Su Yusheng snorted coldly: "We had a very unpleasant falling out with Ye Qinghao before, and we've long since broken off all ties and never spoken to each other again. Besides, my Wan'er disappeared inexplicably in his mansion, so I'm definitely going to go there and make a scene no matter what."
"Not making a scene would only arouse suspicion..."
Madam Su glanced at Su Yusheng, signaling him to continue.
“In that case, I think she should act as if she’s not familiar with us and doesn’t intend to associate with us. Otherwise, she might easily displease Ye Qinghao, which could put her in a bad situation.”
"Anyway, we're back in Wangjing now. Wangjing isn't that big, so we'll know what's going on at the Ye residence, and we should still have plenty of opportunities to see her occasionally. There's no need to worry about us not getting news if something happens to her."
After pondering for a moment, Madam Su realized that Su Yusheng's words made some sense.
Ye Qing'an nodded in agreement: "Qing'an thinks so too."
"Then let's leave it at that for now." Old Madam Su sighed, looked at Ye Qing'an for a long time, her eyes glistening with tears: "Although we said we would not have any contact for now, so as not to arouse Ye Qinghao's dissatisfaction and suspicion, if you have anything to say, you must tell us first."
“Remember, your grandfather and I are back now. Now that we're back, you're no longer alone. You have someone to rely on, and no matter what happens, we'll always be there to protect you.”
"I understand," Ye Qing'an replied, then added in a low voice, "Then Qing'an will take her leave..."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Su Yusheng nodded.
Ye Qing'an left the carriage, bowed to the two elderly people, and then mounted the horse again.
Inside the carriage, Su Yusheng and his wife exchanged a glance, both with a hint of regret in their eyes.
"Master, Madam, shall we continue our journey?"
"Wait a minute." Su Yusheng lifted the carriage curtain and looked into the distance, where he saw Ye Qing'an riding his horse towards the grassland not far away.
"What are you looking at? You didn't give them a kind look when they were in front of you. Now that they're gone, what's the point of looking at them?"
"I didn't look at her." Su Yusheng snorted. "Why would I look at her?"
"If you weren't looking at her, then what were you looking at?" Old Madam Su leaned over and saw Ye Qing'an's back as she rode her horse. "You still say you weren't looking at Qing'an?"
"I'm not looking at her." Su Yusheng's voice was tinged with annoyance. "Didn't she just say that she brought her child here to fly kites today? I'm just checking to see where her child is."
Madam Su was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Ye Qing'an had indeed said something like that.
"That child can already fly kites?"
Su Yusheng pursed his lips: "Didn't the letter say that she was sent to the estate five years ago? That means she should be over four years old now?"
"She dismounted." Su Yusheng watched as Ye Qing'an dismounted. As soon as she did, a child flying a kite rushed towards her.
Then, Ye Qing'an raised her hand and touched the child's head, squatted down, and didn't know what else to say to him.
"It's so far away, I can't even see what it looks like."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, how can you see them from here?"
Su Yusheng then lowered the carriage curtain again: "You're so ignorant. Since you came to see us, why didn't you bring the child with you? What, don't you want the child to recognize us?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? You were already being disrespectful to Qing'an when she came alone, and now that she's brought a child, your nostrils are practically flying to the sky. Why should she bring a child to be treated like this..."
Madam Su sighed: "If Qing'an was really drugged and tricked into giving birth to this child, wouldn't the child's biological father be that thief?"
Su Yusheng was silent for a moment: "That's her child too. The child is innocent. Just pretend the child doesn't have a father."
Madam Su responded, "Qing'an has had such a hard time these past few years. I heard that she lives in a drafty thatched hut on the estate and is often bullied by the people there. We must make it up to her when we have the chance."
Su Yusheng leaned back: "Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person... It can also be considered a blessing in disguise. After all, she saved Consort Lan at that manor and also repaired her dantian."
Madam Su nodded: "That's true."
"Let's set off."
