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

Chapter 145 Motorcade

Yi Moxu took Ye Qing'an and her son to a well-known spring outing spot in the suburbs. There were quite a few people there, and as soon as they got off the carriage, happy smiles appeared on their faces.

"Quickly, Mother, bring me my kite."

Ye Qing'an asked the maid to bring over the kite, and Eleven took the spool of thread and started running.

"Slow down, don't go too far."

"It's alright." Yi Moxu's expression was somewhat nonchalant: "I arranged for people around early this morning, so nothing will happen. Since Eleven entered the Ye residence, I'm afraid he's rarely gone out to play."

"He finally gets to come out, so let him have some fun."

Ye Qing'an paused in her steps, feeling a pang of guilt.

Just as Yimoxu said, although life on the estate was a bit tough, it wasn't so restrictive. During the National Day holiday, he would climb trees and go swimming everywhere, and he had a lot of fun.

Back at the Ye family home, everyone was watching her. Eleven was also mindful of her somewhat awkward position in the Ye household and kept herself in check, afraid of causing trouble for her.

Now that he's finally out, let him have some fun.

Ye Qing'an thought to herself, but she was still a little worried about Yi Moxu's people. So she raised her hand and formed a summoning circle, summoning Jiuxiao.

Because Yi Moxu was there, and there were many other people around, Jiu Xiao did not appear in human form.

Ye Qing'an frowned as she noticed a tiny object, about the length of her little finger, suddenly appear in her hand. How did this thing end up in her hands?

Ye Qing'an made no attempt to hide her disgust, simply tossing the small silver snake to the ground: "Go, protect Eleven."

The small silver snake landed on the grass, where it was completely hidden and disappeared in an instant.

Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow: "Is this your spirit beast? The same silver python from before?"

Ye Qing'an hummed in agreement. Yi Moxu had already seen Jiuxiao's true form when they were in the palace, so there was no need to hide it from him.

A look of surprise flashed in Yi Moxu's eyes: "I've only just begun cultivating, and I've already formed a spirit beast contract? And your spirit beast was able to take someone away from Consort Lan's guards, so its cultivation level must be quite high, right?"

Ye Qingan didn't understand the meaning behind his words, and only glanced at him: "As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. I have high talent, and although I have not yet achieved success, my future is limitless. A spirit beast recognizes me as its master and is willing to form a spirit beast contract with me. What's wrong with that?"

"No." Yi Moxu chuckled to himself.

He was initially willing to ally with her under the guise of Xu Mo, but only because he lacked an opportunity to enter the Ye residence.

Later, it was because of the National Day holiday.

Now, firstly because of Eleven, and secondly because she seems to be able to alleviate his pain from the Fire Eyes.

It has never been related to the talent she claims to possess.

No matter how high one's innate talent, it's useless if one doesn't succeed in cultivation.

In his eyes, her so-called supreme talent and her petty cleverness were simply not enough.

Ye Qing'an didn't catch the sarcasm in Yi Moxu's words, her gaze following Eleven as he flew a kite in the distance.

In the distance, a long procession of horse-drawn carriages seemed to be approaching.

The carriage convoy consisted of about twenty carriages, which looked quite spectacular. Many people enjoying the spring outing were drawn to it, and Ye Qing'an also looked up at the carriage convoy.

"Su?" Yi Moxu's cold voice came from beside him.

Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Recognize me?"

Yi Moxu looked at Ye Qing'an and asked, "Miss Ye, don't you recognize her?"

Ye Qing'an was somewhat puzzled by Yi Moxu's question. Should she recognize him?

Ye Qing'an searched her memory carefully but couldn't recall the original owner knowing any relatives or friends with the surname Su: "I don't know any. I've stayed in the mansion since I was a child. After losing my mother when I was ten, I had no chance to leave the mansion."

Ye Qing'an didn't know what was wrong with what she said, but Yi Moxu looked at her with a meaningful gaze.

“There are not many prominent families with the surname Su in Wangjing City. Miss Ye’s maternal family is one of them. However, more than ten years ago, the Su family committed a crime and was sent to Tongxin Prefecture by the Emperor. After that, the whole family left Wangjing to take up their posts in Tongxin Prefecture.”

Ye Qing'an had completely forgotten about this matter, and was also stunned when she heard this: "So what? Although this carriage team is also surnamed Su, it is not my maternal grandfather's team."

Her maternal grandparents' family was still in Tongxin Prefecture.

She had been thinking that she needed to find a way to contact them and get them back to Wangjing City.

If they return, I will have another person to rely on.

After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, Yi Moxu's gaze towards her became even more strange.

"Indeed, there is more than one Su family in this Siyou Kingdom. However, the insignia of Miss Ye's maternal grandparents' family is different from the others. The Su character on all the Su family's insignia was bestowed by the late emperor and written by the late emperor himself."

Yi Moxu gestured with his chin toward the convoy: "Perfect timing. The Su on the lanterns hanging on those twenty-odd carriages over there is the one."

Ye Qing'an was stunned upon hearing this, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"So, that was my maternal grandfather's caravan?"

Yi Moxu seemed to chuckle: "Miss Ye, you're asking me this? That's Miss Ye's maternal grandparents' family. Logically speaking, when the Su family was sent out as a whole, Miss Ye was already nearly ten years old. You shouldn't be unaware of this."

Ye Qing'an finally understood why Yi Moxu had looked at her like that and why he had spoken to her in that tone.

Ye Qing'an felt her face burning: "I was too young back then, and so many years have passed, so I don't remember."

After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, her brows furrowed: "My maternal grandfather's caravan... Could it be that my maternal grandfather's entire family has moved back?"

"But I've never heard of the Emperor issuing an edict to recall my maternal grandparents' family. Officials sent to the capital are not allowed to enter without being summoned..."

Although she had only been back in the Ye family for a little over a month, Granny Wei and the Sixth Concubine were both old servants of her mother.

If the Emperor truly had an order to recall Ye Qing'an's maternal grandfather's family, it's impossible that Granny Wei and the Sixth Concubine wouldn't know. And if they did know, they certainly wouldn't have kept quiet about it.

"I have never heard of any imperial decree summoning your maternal grandfather's family back."

Ye Qing'an's expression changed. Being summoned back to the capital was a serious crime, and her maternal family couldn't possibly be unaware of that. But what was going on with this convoy in front of her?

Ye Qing'an frowned slightly before quickly saying, "Since it's my maternal grandfather's family returning to the capital, and I've encountered them here, there's no reason not to pay my respects and inquire about the situation..."

Ye Qing'an wanted to say that she would take Eleven with her, but she heard Yi Moxu say, "You go ahead, I'll go with Eleven to fly kites, you can borrow my horse."

Ye Qing'an considered it for a moment and then agreed. Yi Moxu whistled, and his horse galloped over from a distance.

Ye Qing'an mounted his horse and headed straight for the caravan.
