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

Chapter 253 A Misunderstood Favor

Ye Qing'an had already reached the back garden. Recalling the appearance of the mother and daughter from before, Ye Qing'an still felt a little amused: "Why did you suddenly think of using this method to deal with Ye Weilan?"

Yi Moxu pursed his lips: "Isn't it better to solve the problem once and for all?"

"But Liu Xueying should still have some connections, right? She could probably help Ye Weilan find other doctors, right? Actually, I've always wondered, did you really study medicine and Taoism?"

"The night I met you five years ago was the day I reached the ninth level of the Fire Separation Technique. Reaching the ninth level of the Fire Separation Technique is practically the pinnacle. In the five years since then, I've had some free time and have studied quite a few other techniques. Healing and Taoist cultivation are just some of them..."

"What else?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious.

"secret."

Tsk, still keeping it a secret.

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips before saying, "Even though you told that to the mother and son, they should still try to find other medical practitioners, right? Liu Xueying was able to find Ye Mei, so she must have some skills. Finding a good healer shouldn't be difficult."

Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes: "Finding a good healer is indeed not difficult. But... no healer can cure her throat."

Ye Qing'an was taken aback, then turned to look at Yi Moxu: "No medical practitioner can cure her throat? What do you mean?"

“I used the Fire Separation Technique to ruin her voice. Ordinary medical practitioners can’t find the cause, let alone cure it. Unless, she finds someone who cultivates the Fire Separation Technique.”

Ye Qing'an immediately understood: "But Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan never think about the Fire Separation Technique. They just keep looking for medical cultivators. If the medical cultivators can't cure them, they will only think that the medical cultivators they found are too incompetent."

"Prince Duan's move was truly brilliant..."

Yi Moxu suddenly looked up at Ye Qing'an: "I suddenly feel that the title of Prince Duan, which I don't particularly like, sounds especially nice coming from your mouth."

Ye Qing'an chuckled, reached out and patted Yi Moxu's chest, deliberately softening her voice: "Prince Duan..."

After saying that, before Yi Moxu could react, he pushed him away again: "Prince Duan is busy, so I won't see you off any further. I still have to go out of the manor."

"What are you going to do outside the manor?" Yi Moxu frowned, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

"Guess." Ye Qing'an blinked: "But, as a male concubine, Prince Duan shouldn't be asking about his master's whereabouts."

Ye Qing'an chuckled and headed straight for the gate of the mansion.

Seeing this, Zixiao, who was following at a distance, quickly caught up with her and asked, "Is Miss going out?"

"Hmm, let's go out and take a look at the shop."

"This servant will run ahead and tell someone to prepare the carriage."

Ye Qing'an nodded, and Zi Xiao quickly quickened her pace and rushed ahead.

When Ye Qing'an arrived at the second gate, the carriage was indeed already waiting there.

Ye Qing got into the carriage, took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write a letter: "Instruct the carriage driver to circle around these shops."

"Yes."

After Zixiao gave instructions to the carriage driver, Ye Qing'an began to write and draw on the paper.

Soon, Ye Qing'an finished writing three letters and put each one in an envelope: "When you arrive at each shop, go down and give the letter inside to the shopkeeper."

"After delivering the goods, go to Qingfeng Tower."

"Yes."

After sending off all three letters, the carriage headed straight for Qingfeng Tower.

Qingfeng Tower is a teahouse in the city, a place that Ye Qing'an specifically inquired about from Granny Wei.

Upon arriving at Qingfeng Tower, Ye Qing'an entered and had Zixiao request a private room.

"Miss, the private room is upstairs. As per your request, we would like the largest private room available."

Ye Qing'an nodded and went upstairs.

Just as I reached the corner of the stairs, I saw a group of people coming down from upstairs. The one at the front was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old. He was wearing a blue robe and had a cool and aloof demeanor. He was calm, composed, and refined, and it was clear that he was no ordinary person.

The stairwell was a bit narrow, not wide enough for two people to pass through comfortably.

Ye Qing'an then stood in a slightly more spacious spot at the corner, preparing to let them leave first.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man at the front looked up at Ye Qing'an, but when his gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face, he suddenly stopped.

The people following behind also stopped in their tracks...

Ye Qing'an looked at the man with some confusion, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Please go first, sir."

Upon hearing Ye Qing'an address him as "sir," the middle-aged man's expression grew increasingly strange. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Wan'er?"

Ye Qing'an was taken aback. She naturally didn't think this person was calling her, and besides, her name wasn't Wan'er.

only……

Her biological mother's name was Su Wan.

Moreover, the portrait of Su Wan that she had seen in Ye Qing'an's memory did indeed resemble her by about seven or eight points.

So, this person knows her mother?

Did he recognize her as his mother?

Ye Qing'an smiled and asked, "Does the gentleman know my mother?"

The middle-aged man was stunned. His gaze lingered on Ye Qing'an's face for a long time, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little: "Yes, Wan'er is no longer here."

Then, he asked Ye Qing'an, "Your surname is Ye?"

"Yes." Ye Qing'an nodded: "My daughter Ye Qing'an, my mother is Su Wan. I look seven or eight parts like my mother, so when I heard you call my mother's name just now, I knew that you must know my mother and have recognized me as your mother."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "You do look very much like your mother."

"I've heard some things about you before. You must have just returned to Jincheng not long ago?"

"Yes." Ye Qing'an nodded, but the feeling of others knowing who she was while she didn't know who they were wasn't very pleasant, so Ye Qing'an simply asked directly, "May I ask your esteemed name, sir, and which of my mother's acquaintances are you?"

"My name is Liu Enze."

what……

Liu Enze?

She had only heard the storyteller mention this name a while ago.

Liu Enze, holding the official position of Grand Tutor, is the head of the Liu family, one of the four great families. He is in love with her mother, but his love is unrequited, and he remains unmarried to this day.

I never expected to run into you so soon.

"So it's Grand Tutor Liu." Ye Qing'an smiled.

"You know me?" Liu Enze's expression trembled slightly. "Could it be that your mother mentioned me to you?"

After asking the question, Liu Enze laughed self-deprecatingly: "How could that be? You were only ten years old when your mother passed away."

Of course not, but...

"Yes," Ye Qing'an said with a smile. "Mother mentioned the teacher before."

"Oh?" Liu Enze took a deep breath: "What...did your mother say?"

Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "My mother said that you have misplaced your affections and ruined your life."
