Chapter 218 I don't like you at all
Liu Xueying responded calmly, "Consort Jing has already sent word that the imperial decree bestowing marriage upon Wei Lan will be issued soon. At this time, it's best not to cause any trouble."
"Let's wait a bit longer. We'll wait for the imperial decree to be issued and for the Fifth Prince to present the betrothal gifts before making any further plans."
Granny Li glanced at Liu Xueying with some surprise, feeling that ever since the master took her away and brought her back, the madam's personality had become much more timid and hesitant than before.
But she didn't dare ask what had happened in the previous few days.
After a moment's hesitation, Granny Li replied, "However, Madam could still call the Second Young Master over to ask him questions and show some concern. After all, no matter what, Madam is still the Second Young Master's mother in name only. What's wrong with a mother caring for her child?"
"Okay." Liu Xueying responded, "You can arrange it as you see fit. You've been by my side for over ten years, so you can handle it yourself. Anyway, the most important thing right now is Wei Lan's marriage."
Liu Xueying pursed her lips: "The master personally suggested Wei Lan's marriage. This shows that the master still needs Wei Lan. As long as Wei Lan and Zi Rui are still here, and as long as the master can still use them, my position as the principal wife will be secure."
"Yes, the servant understands."
Ye Qing'an has been very busy lately, busy cultivating, busy reviewing accounts, and busy listening to storytelling, watching plays, and strolling around outside the mansion.
Time flies when you get busy.
As the weather grew colder and the night air became windy, Ye Qing'an finished reading the account books in her hands, put them away, got up and closed the window, then blew out the candles on the table and went to bed.
Just as she was about to go to the Cloud Dreamland to cultivate, Ye Qing'an suddenly stopped. She didn't know why, but even though her spiritual energy was not fluctuating at all, she felt that there was someone in the room.
Ye Qing'an quickly gathered spiritual energy in his hands, but before he could cast a spell, his hand was grabbed.
Ye Qing'an frowned sharply. Although she hadn't seen the person, the faint fragrance in the air immediately told her who it was: "Yi Moxu? What are you doing? Breaking into a woman's boudoir in the dead of night? That's probably not appropriate."
"If you hadn't been avoiding me lately, why would I have resorted to this method to see you?"
Ye Qing'an froze. Four or five days had passed since the events in the illusionary realm of the inner demon. She had been deliberately keeping herself busy lately to avoid thinking about the situation in the illusionary realm of the inner demon. She originally thought she had succeeded and had completely forgotten about that incident...
But upon hearing Yi Moxu's voice, she still felt weak all over.
"..."
Ye Qing'an gritted her teeth, but Yi Moxu had already come knocking on her door. If she continued to hide, Yi Moxu would think that she was the one who was guilty.
She wasn't the one who did anything wrong. She was the one who was inexplicably bitten and had her child's parentage concealed. What was she hiding from? What was there to hide from?
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips, adopting the same demeanor she had when she debated with officials in the imperial court in her past life: "When have I ever avoided the Prince? What? You only allow the Prince to be busy, but I'm not allowed to be busy?"
"Why should I hide from the prince? After all, I haven't done anything wrong."
She spoke with great confidence, but only Ye Qing'an knew the unease she felt beneath the surface.
In the darkness, Yi Moxu couldn't see Ye Qing'an's face: "Fine, I'll pretend you never hid from me, and everything that happened before was my fault. So how do you want to resolve this?"
solve?
solve what?
Is it that once-a-month fiery gaze?
Or is it the National Day holiday?
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips tightly: "Maintain the status quo. Don't come looking for me when your Fire Eye flares up. Eleven was someone I carried for ten months and raised all by myself. Don't even think about taking him away from me."
"I don't want to know what you want to do in this Ye residence. I will never reveal your secrets."
Yimo Xulai, of course, did not come with this result in mind.
"But I don't want to."
Ye Qing'an's eyes widened suddenly as she looked up at Yi Moxu. In the unlit room, she could only vaguely make out an outline and those unusually bright heterochromatic eyes.
He doesn't want to?
What does it mean?
Ye Qing'an was on guard from head to toe, down to every single hair: "What do you mean by 'you don't want to'?"
Ye Qing'an's body tensed: "Then, Prince Duan, what do you want?"
"Let's get married, let's get married."
what?
marriage?
Ye Qing'an's eyes were full of doubt. She had heard each word clearly, but when put together, they didn't make sense to her.
"Marriage? Prince Duan, are you joking?"
Ye Qing'an suddenly scoffed: "Does Prince Duan think that since Eleven is our child, and I can suppress the monthly Li Huo Eye for you, it would be the best thing for you if we could get married?"
"Son, wife, and the antidote for Li Huomou are all here."
Ye Qing'an's voice suddenly turned cold: "Prince Duan, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
"Not to mention that Eleven was born of my own hard work, I could never willingly become Prince Duan's antidote. Even if this entanglement didn't exist, I would never marry you."
"Why?" Yi Moxu frowned.
Ye Qing'an smiled, but her eyes were full of indifference: "In what capacity did Prince Duan propose to me?"
"Is it Yi Moxu, a criminal from Siyou Kingdom who was exiled to Qian'an for committing a serious crime? Or is it Xu Mo, a medical cultivator who never even existed?"
“A person who doesn’t even have a proper identity in this world, a person who can’t even openly say who he is, let alone be a daughter of the Ye family, would never marry an ordinary woman.”
"However, none of these things are really important."
Yi Moxu stared intently at Ye Qing'an without saying a word.
"Most importantly, I don't like you at all."
"To me, you are an ally with impure motives, an opponent who holds each other's secrets and we need to be wary of each other, but not a lover with whom I can confide."
"I believe that you have ulterior motives and guilt towards me, but you don't truly love me."
Ye Qing'an's voice was cold: "So, you only have two choices now. Either do as I say and maintain the status quo, and don't come looking for me when the Fire Eye flares up, or don't even think about Eleven."
"Either we tear off the mask and become enemies completely..."
Before Ye Qing'an could finish speaking, Yi Moxu pressed down on her directly.
Before Ye Qing'an could react, a warm sensation spread across her lips...
