Chapter 170 is indeed a problem.
Just as Ye Qinghao left the courtyard, he saw Ye Qing'an's figure disappear around the opposite corner.
Ye Qinghao stopped and kept his eyes fixed on the corner.
"Master..." The butler stood to one side and said softly, "Could today's events be related to the young lady..."
Ye Qinghao remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he finally looked away and said, "It shouldn't be. She has no one to rely on. If she had done it on purpose, she wouldn't have dared to throw such a tantrum in front of me just now, and she wouldn't have been so reckless and incoherent."
"It probably happened so suddenly that I was so angry that I didn't care about anything else."
Ye Qinghao pursed his lips tightly: "If it really was her doing, then I'm truly impressed."
However, if this was indeed her plan, then she absolutely cannot let her live.
Ye Qing'an harbored resentment towards Liu Xueying, Ye Weilan, and even towards him; he knew this.
Furthermore, Ye Qing'an is a Holy Spirit Body, which was already enough to make him wary.
He is now willing to nurture her and treat her as a useful talent, simply because Ye Qing'an doesn't have many ulterior motives and doesn't have anything to rely on.
If she had cunning, had something to rely on, and even cultivated herself into a saint.
Then he would probably be the first person she wants to get rid of.
The butler nodded thoughtfully: "Then, sir, what do you think about this matter concerning Madam..."
"Liu Xueying?" Ye Qinghao frowned. Liu Xueying was indeed a problem.
He initially chose Liu Xueying as his legal wife because the previous issues with the Su family had left him somewhat annoyed, and he didn't want to have so many troubles in the future.
Moreover, at that time, he no longer needed to find a powerful and influential in-law family.
If his wife's family becomes powerful and influential, they will become a stumbling block for him.
Therefore, he chose to elevate one of his concubines from the inner quarters to the position of principal wife.
At that time, he felt that Liu Xueying was the most considerate and charming, and she was very caring. In addition, Liu Xueying gave birth to his eldest son, so he made Liu Xueying his official wife.
But in retrospect, this decision was not a very correct one.
After all, being born into a humble family, their perspective and interpersonal skills were far inferior.
Just as Ye Qing'an said, his wife didn't need to have a privileged background, but she did need to be good at handling people. That way, even if she wasn't an asset to him, she wouldn't be a burden.
only……
“It’s not the right time yet.” Ye Qinghao frowned. “Weilan and the Fifth Prince’s marriage is at a critical moment. Before Weilan and the Fifth Prince can get married, Weilan needs to have a mother who can be the principal wife.”
"Once Wei Lan and the Fifth Prince succeed, we can make further plans."
The butler responded in a low voice.
"Keep an eye on Su Wan's dowry. Su Yusheng has just returned to Wangjing and has already set such a huge trap for me. If people find out that Liu Xueying has touched Su Wan's dowry at this juncture, that old bastard will definitely cause me another ruckus."
"At this time..."
"Feiran is still in the Eastern Palace, Weilan is discussing marriage with the Fifth Prince, and Su Yusheng has returned to Wangjing City. Everything is at a critical moment, and we can't afford any mistakes."
The steward nodded in agreement: "This old servant will lead men to search the mansion one by one in a moment, find all the dowry that belonged to the former madam, and return it. However, those that have already been used by the madam and the second young lady... require double compensation, and the madam is afraid..."
Ye Qinghao sneered: "Just keep an eye on her and make her pay it back. Liu Xueying has secretly saved up a lot of money in the mansion over the years. It's a good time to take out all the money she has saved."
"Yes."
The steward responded and then said, "Recently, it seems that Doctor Xu has been getting quite close to the young master. When I came over just now, I saw Doctor Xu playing with the young master's bamboo dragonfly in the outer courtyard."
"Young Master? Who?" Ye Qinghao asked, then suddenly came to his senses: "Oh, you mean that child?"
"If Xu Mo is willing to play with him, then let him play with him. He's just a kid after all."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an had already returned to the courtyard: "Hmm? You went to the outer courtyard?"
Linglan nodded: "They said they went to find Doctor Xu, and they wouldn't let me go with them."
"Xu Mo?"
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Although it was somewhat unexpected that Eleven liked Yi Moxu, it was not a big deal.
"Have you been hanging out with Dr. Xu a lot lately during the National Day holiday?"
“Yes,” Linglan replied. “I go quite often, almost every day. And every time I come back, I bring back some little trinkets.”
Linglan pointed to the items on the table beside her: "But they're all small things, like bamboo dragonflies, bamboo horses, kites, slingshots, and the like. So I didn't report them to you, Miss..."
Ye Qing'an raised his eyebrows. When Eleven was at the manor, he was always a restless person. Although he often fought with the children at the manor, they would still play together afterward.
After returning to the Ye residence, he had no playmates, so he rarely left the courtyard, only occasionally strolling in the garden.
Now that she has finally found someone she clicks with, she often goes to hang out with Yi Moxu, and she doesn't find it strange.
What puzzled her was that Yi Moxu would actually play with Shiyi.
Logically speaking, Yi Moxu was a prince before being exiled. Now that he has returned to Wangjing City, he must have come with ambition and aspirations.
Although he usually stays at the Ye residence, it doesn't mean that he does nothing all day.
He actually has the time to play with these little gadgets with a child?
Ye Qing'an nodded, walked to where Eleven had placed those things, and picked up all the trinkets.
The items all looked very exquisite. Although most of them were made by the owner using wood, it was clear that the person who made them had put in a lot of effort.
This could absolutely not be the work of Eleven.
Did Yi Moxu make it?
The thought flashed through Ye Qing'an's mind, but she quickly shook her head.
Impossible, Yi Moxu, how could she possibly make something like this?
As Ye Qing'an was thinking, she heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, along with a soft humming voice.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow. "You're back?"
He was even humming a song; he seemed to be in a very good mood.
As soon as Shiyi entered the door, he saw Ye Qing'an standing in the room. He paused, chuckled, and rushed towards Ye Qing'an, calling out, "Mother!"
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "So you've finally decided to come back?"
Eleven stuck out her tongue: "Why is Mommy here?"
"What? Can't I come over? I heard from the maid that you've been going to see Doctor Xu a lot lately, is that true?"
