Chapter 144 Madman
When Ye Qing'an arrived at the second gate, Yi Moxu was already waiting there. Upon seeing Ye Qing'an, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes: "You always wore plain-colored clothes before. I didn't know you looked so good in bright colors."
"Right?" Eleven seemed to have found a kindred spirit: "Uncle Xu, you also think my mother looks good in bright colors, right? Then we have pretty much the same taste."
"..."
Ye Qing'an rolled her eyes. What does a four-year-old know about perspective?
Yi Moxu laughed as well: "Let's go, Miss Ye and Young Master, please get in the carriage first."
Just as Ye Qing'an was about to get into the carriage, she saw two more carriages approaching from behind and stopping at the second gate, right behind their carriage.
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes slightly, looking at the last car...
If she remembered correctly, it should be Ye Weilan's carriage, right?
Is Ye Weilan going out? Where is she going?
Ye Qing'an's gaze lingered on the two carriages for a moment, then he turned around and saw Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan walking over one after the other.
Ye Qing'an led Eleven into the carriage, and Yi Moxu mounted his horse and set off.
Ye Weilan saw the mother and daughter, and Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan also saw her.
"Isn't that Ye Qing'an? Who's that man on horseback behind her?" Liu Xueying asked, frowning.
"Father recently recruited a retainer into the household, a physician. He wears a mask all day, so I don't know what he looks like. I imagine he's probably too ugly to be seen in public?"
"So it was him." Although Liu Xueying was under house arrest, she still heard about many things that happened in the mansion.
"Was it him who repaired Ye Qing'an's dantian?"
"Yes, isn't it him?" Ye Weilan scoffed. "If it weren't for her, how could Ye Qing'an have returned to our Ye family and caused such a ruckus? I heard he has an illicit relationship with Ye Qing'an..."
"Ever since he entered the manor, he has been helping Ye Qing'an in every way. If Ye Qing'an hadn't served him so well in bed, he wouldn't have protected that mother and child like this. Before, he even secretly carried out his plan, and when people gossiped about it, he got angry and killed several servants. Now he's becoming more and more blatant. He can even go out together in broad daylight."
Liu Xueying's gaze fell on the receding figure: "If it's just because Ye Qing'an served him well in bed, that's why they're helping her in every way, it's not difficult to handle. Just find someone prettier than Ye Qing'an and more pleasing to her in bed and send her over."
Ye Weilan's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. No matter how beautiful Ye Qing'an is, she's already been defiled and has had children. Naturally, she can't compare to those beauties who haven't been deflowered yet."
Inside the carriage, Eleven glanced at Ye Qing'an: "Wasn't my aunt and her wicked mother confined to their quarters? How did they get out?"
Ye Qing'an was deep in thought when she heard this and couldn't help but chuckle: "You know quite a lot at such a young age."
“That’s natural.” Eleven raised an eyebrow: “It’s because I’m young that people think I don’t understand anything, and they don’t hide their opinions from me, so I naturally know.”
“I often wander around the mansion, and I can hear the gossip of the maids and servants around me.”
Eleven rolled her eyes and chuckled, "I also know that my cheap maternal grandfather has kept several mistresses outside and even has an illegitimate child. My aunt, that wicked mother, is still trying to deal with that illegitimate child."
"I also know that there is a secret room in the mansion where a madman is imprisoned."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Who told you that?"
"The one in front was told by the maid who served my aunt's wicked mother, and the one in the back was told by the person who delivered food from the kitchen."
"He said that madman was extremely insane, chained with a very thick iron chain that pierced through his collarbone, and he was very fierce. He said the madman's eyes looked like he wanted to eat people. When he went to deliver food, he could only put the food down as quickly as possible and run away, afraid that if he was even a little slow, he would be torn into pieces."
Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table.
She wasn't too surprised that Ye Qinghao had a mistress or an illegitimate child.
The fact that a madman was imprisoned in the mansion piqued her curiosity.
Who exactly is that madman? Why is he being held captive in Ye Qinghao's mansion? How long has he been imprisoned?
Ye Qing'an's eyes flickered slightly, and she simply lowered her head and patted Eleven: "In the future, when they say these things, stay away from them. I'm worried that if they know you heard them, it will hurt you."
Eleven stuck out her tongue: "Don't worry, Mother, I know. Those who achieve great things must conceal their talents and bide their time..."
Ye Qing'an laughed out loud: "Who told you all this, hmm?"
"I learned it by reading books myself." Eleven sat up straight. "My mother told me before that everything is in books, so I should read more books. That's why my mother taught me to read and write early on, so that I could learn things from books on my own."
This "mother" refers to the previous owner of this body.
Ye Qing'an smiled. Although her predecessor was weak-willed and somewhat foolish, she had put in a lot of effort in accompanying and teaching children.
Ye Qing'an nodded, then remembered something she had been overlooking: "There don't seem to be many books in your room."
"Yes." He nodded at eleven o'clock. "I don't have any books, just a few comic books. The maid brought them to me to pass the time."
"But my stupid uncle has quite a few books. He seems particularly afraid that people will think he is uneducated, so he had people bring back a lot of books, all kinds of books, many of which he has never even opened."
“I would flip through them when I had nothing to do, but some of the servants at my stupid uncle’s place were really annoying, so I didn’t dare to be too blatant. I just pretended to take his books and scribble on them.”
Ye Qing'an sighed. This child probably developed a habit while on the estate, never telling her anything that happened.
"From now on, just tell your mother about these things. If you want to read any books, your mother will find them for you."
"Mother still has the skill to get her hands on books."
Eleven waved her hand: "That's not necessary. I told you, I want to hide my talents. I can't let them find out that I'm such a gifted child. If Mother brings so many books for me to read, I won't be able to keep it a secret."
"Anyway, now that my stupid uncle has moved in with me, and he didn't bring any servants, I can openly find any excuse to visit him without worrying about being discovered. Isn't that great?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. My Eleven is a person with big ideas."
"That is."
