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

Chapter 212 The True Eldest Daughter

Half an hour later, Ye Qinghao received the news. Upon hearing about Ye Qing'an's behavior in the flower hall, Ye Qinghao raised his eyebrows in surprise: "She really did that?"

"Yes," the steward said, bowing his head. "There was such a commotion. I asked several servants, and they all said that the young lady said she wanted to say something to Master Liu and dismissed the servants. Not long after the servants left, a scream suddenly came from the flower hall. The servants guarding the door were terrified. By the time they rushed in, the young lady had already fainted."

"Later, the nanny and maidservant beside the young lady hurriedly pinched her philtrum and prepared to call for Doctor Xu. It took a while before the young lady woke up."

"But after the young lady woke up, Master Liu seemed to still feel unsatisfied and forced her to say that he did not do it. The young lady was trembling all over at the time. Master Liu was probably not satisfied with the young lady's performance, and he even rushed towards the young lady in front of everyone."

"The servants quickly stepped forward and pulled the person away, and the matter was dropped. However, the eldest young lady seemed to be terrified of Master Liu. She hurriedly said that she was not feeling well and asked someone to invite the second young lady over to entertain the guests. Then she ran away in a hurry, as if she were fleeing."

Ye Qinghao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes narrowing slightly: "What do you think?"

The butler lowered his voice: "This old servant thinks that the young lady is putting on an act."

“However…” the butler paused, a smirk playing on his lips, “Although it’s all an act, the servants in the manor seem to believe it. If the servants believe it, then the young lady has achieved her goal.”

Seeing that Ye Qinghao was propping his head up with his hand and his face showed little emotion, the butler lowered his voice and said, "This old servant really didn't expect that the young lady would dare to... dare to compete with Liu Yongming to see who is more shameless, and even pretend to faint on the spot..."

Ye Qinghao tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers: "I didn't expect that either, but..."

Ye Qinghao pursed his lips: "Qing An has probably seen quite a few scoundrels like this in that manor and in that kind of place. Actually, she's right. To deal with a scoundrel like Liu Yongming, you have to be even more scoundrel than him."

"Liu Yongming was confident that no one in the Ye family, not even a steward, would stoop to his level of shamelessness. So he used this method repeatedly and successfully in the Ye family, and became more and more arrogant."

"Who would have thought that the Ye family would produce such an anomaly as Qing An?"

The butler nodded: "Actually, what Miss did is the simplest way. Miss has indeed changed a lot, but now she is more tactful and intelligent in handling matters..."

After the butler finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qinghao again: "Then Liu Yongming... Master, do you think we should leave him at the Ye residence and wait for you to return?"

"It's alright." Ye Qinghao laughed. "Even if he's waiting at the Ye residence or not, it doesn't matter since such a thing happened today."

"After all, the first person I see when I return to the manor is always Qing'an."

The butler was taken aback, but quickly came to his senses: "That's right. Miss put on such a show today, so naturally we should seize the opportunity and come to complain to Master as soon as he returns home."

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Qinghao returned to the manor, he saw Ye Qing'an being helped up and waiting at the gate.

Upon seeing Ye Qinghao, Ye Qing'an immediately knelt down: "Daughter wants to apologize to Father. Father asked me to entertain Master Liu, but I don't know what I did to anger Master Liu. After only saying a few words, Master Liu attacked me."

Ye Qing'an's eyes were red and brimming with tears: "I apologize for my poor hospitality, Father."

"I heard about this on my way back home. It wasn't your fault, so you don't need to worry about it too much."

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "But I really don't know what I did or said wrong to make Master Liu so angry. Although I am incompetent and a well-known good-for-nothing in Wangjing, I am still the eldest daughter of the Ye family."

Out of the corner of her eye, Ye Qing'an saw Ye Weilan accompanying Liu Yongming as they rushed over after receiving the news, so she raised her voice even higher: "The eldest daughter of the Ye family must not be humiliated like this without cause."

"Please, Father, help me ask Master Liu what I did wrong."

"If I cannot give my daughter a reasonable explanation, then I am truly incompetent and have damaged the reputation of the Ye family. I will have no face to live in this world. I will just kill myself by crashing into this doorpost."

Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Liu Yongming's forehead veins throbbed, and he rushed over quickly, exclaiming, "You..."

Feeling Ye Qinghao's intimidating gaze, Liu Yongming had no choice but to swallow the curses that were about to come out: "You're making false accusations. I didn't even touch you. You're the one who faked fainting and framed me."

Ye Qing'an cried even harder: "If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason. I was ordered to entertain Master Liu. After hearing that I said my mother was sick, Master Liu said that my mother was fine before I returned to the manor, but she fell ill as soon as I came back. It must be because I bullied my mother."

"Later, Mr. Liu knocked me unconscious, but now he's saying I faked it to deceive him."

"It's wrong for my daughter to be beaten, it's wrong for what she said, everything she does is wrong, I really don't know what to do..."

In all those years before, Liu Yongming had always been the one extorting people; when had he ever been extorted like this?

Liu Yongming glared at Ye Qing'an, but couldn't find the right words to refute her. He could only stare at her with burning anger.

After a long pause, he blurted out, "I'm your elder. So what if I hit you or scold you? So what if I discipline you? You're my junior, so you have to take it!"

Ye Qinghao looked up at Liu Yongming: "Mr. Liu, be careful what you say."

Ye Qinghao said calmly, "Although Master Liu is the lady's father, he is not Qing'an's biological maternal grandfather."

"Liu Xueying is a second wife, Su Wan is the true legal wife, and only Qing An is the true eldest daughter of the Ye family."

Ye Qinghao raised his eyes, his gaze cold: "The eldest daughter of the Ye family is not someone anyone has the right to beat, scold, or discipline."

Liu Yongming's eyes widened, but he neither knew nor dared to refute Ye Qinghao's words.

Ye Qinghao turned to look at Ye Qing'an: "Qing'an, what do you think should be done about this?"

"I can tolerate Mr. Liu making things difficult for me at every turn, but please forgive me for not being able to let this matter rest. I will hand Mr. Liu over to the authorities for punishment."

Ye Qinghao nodded: "Alright, then let's hand it over to the government."

"Steward, go to the government office and ask them for help."

After Ye Qinghao finished speaking, he went straight to Ye Qing'an and said, "Let's go, I need to talk to you."

Ye Qing'an responded, turned around and gave Zi Xiao a few instructions before following Ye Qinghao away.

No one saw that after they left, Ye Weilan stared at their retreating figures for a long time...

Ye Qing'an is the true legitimate daughter, so what about her? What is she?
