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

Chapter 121 Not only kill, but also destroy the spirit.

As soon as Ye Qing'an returned to the courtyard, Zi Xiao and Granny Wei rushed over together.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Ye Qing'an smiled, "Me? What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Granny Wei frowned: "We already know. That Physician Xu suddenly went mad and killed several servants in the manor. It is said that some of those servants had their eyes gouged out by Physician Xu, some had their mouths sewn shut, and they were all shredded into minced flesh and blood, leaving no trace of their bodies. It was terrifying."

"Moreover, someone saw that Doctor Xu grabbed your neck, Miss, with a fierce expression, as if he wanted to eat you up."

As Granny Wei spoke, she stood on tiptoe and looked down at Ye Qing'an's neck, noticing some faint red marks...

"My goodness, Miss, your neck is all red, and in some places it's even turning purple! What those servants said is true, isn't it? That Doctor Xu is far too ruthless. How could Doctor Xu bring himself to harm someone as delicate as you?"

Although Xu Mo had grabbed Ye Qing'an by the neck earlier, she was only focused on confronting Xu Mo at the time and did not feel any pain: "Is it red?"

Granny Wei had already pulled Ye Qing'an into the room and handed her a bronze mirror: "Miss, look for yourself! I'll go find some medicinal oil to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis for you."

Ye Qing'an raised the bronze mirror and looked at herself. There was indeed a red mark on her neck. Perhaps because her skin was delicate, it looked rather frightening.

After seeing Granny Wei leave, Zixiao lowered her voice and said, "I found out that the servants were indeed talking about Miss and Physician Xu, and they said some vulgar and obscene things. They said that Miss and Physician Xu had already been intimate, and that when Miss went to the outer courtyard to see Physician Xu, someone heard some disgusting sounds..."

Zi Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an's expression and didn't finish her sentence. Even Zi Xiao, who wasn't directly involved, felt that what she said next was a bit excessive...

Upon seeing Zi Xiao's expression, Ye Qing'an immediately understood. He simply chuckled and said, "Tell me, what are those people thinking? Even if Doctor Xu won't kill them, if they're found out about this kind of slander against the master of the manor, they'll be in deep trouble."

Before Zixiao could answer, Ye Qing'an nodded again: "Oh, that's right. I forgot, none of the servants in this mansion have ever taken me seriously. It was like that four years ago, and it's still like that now."

"There's a saying that Dr. Xu said that's absolutely right. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. The chicken must be killed, and it must be killed cleanly and efficiently, so that the monkeys jumping around behind will know to be afraid."

Zi Xiao nodded, then pursed her lips after a long pause: "Xu Yixiu's move today is enough to intimidate everyone in this mansion for a while. Whether it's the servants or the masters in this mansion who are secretly eyeing Miss..."

Ye Qing'an hummed in agreement: "That's good, it solved some trouble for me."

Ye Qing'an didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she lowered her voice and instructed Zi Xiao: "Keep a close eye on Ye Zirui. Recently, Ye Zirui is probably going to get into trouble."

Zixiao, unaware of what had happened in the palace, was taken aback by Ye Qing'an's words: "Young Master, what happened?"

"Just wait and see." Ye Qing'an raised her hand and touched her neck, feeling the lingering sensation of Yi Moxu's hand gripping her neck.

Ye Qing'an coughed lightly: "If Ye Zirui gets into trouble, that will be my opportunity."

Zixiao nodded: "This servant will keep a close eye on it."

After a pause, she reported in a low voice, "Today, Madam accompanied the Second Miss out of the manor. The servants said that it was because they were going to meet the Fifth Prince, and Madam accompanied the Second Miss out of the manor to buy some clothes and jewelry."

Seeing Ye Qing'an's nonchalant demeanor, Zi Xiao's voice lowered even further: "So, he's been released from confinement?"

"It will be resolved sooner or later." Ye Qing'an didn't seem to care much, because Liu Xueying had made Ye Weilan take the blame before, and there must have been a rift between the mother and daughter now.

She would try to widen this rift further, causing the mother and daughter to go completely in opposite directions.

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of his lips. In the art of war, winning hearts and minds is the best strategy, while attacking the body is the worst...

She not only wanted to kill people, but also to destroy their spirits.

"Miss, the medicated oil is here. Quickly apply some." Granny Wei entered, holding a bottle of medicated oil. "Miss, quickly apply some, and massage it in thoroughly. You need to massage away the bruising..."

"Where did the bruises come from? It's just because my skin is too delicate, so there are some marks that look rather scary."

"That won't do either, you still have to apply the medicated oil." Granny Wei poured the medicated oil into her hand and was about to apply it to Ye Qing'an. Ye Qing'an did not stop her and just let her apply it.

"That Doctor Xu usually seems so gentle and refined, how come he's so frightening when he gets angry?"

Granny Wei's muttering made Ye Qing'an laugh.

Suave?

She couldn't associate those four words with Xu Mo at all. Even when he wasn't angry, Xu Mo probably couldn't be described as gentle and refined.

"Miss, you should stay away from him in the future. I think that kind of person is definitely not normal here."

Granny Wei pointed to her head: "When I went out of the manor to look for Miss before, I met some people who were not quite right in the head. They seemed no different from ordinary people on ordinary days, but when they got sick, they were terrifying. They could do all sorts of bad things, like murder and arson."

Ye Qing'an just smiled and didn't say anything.

Then, Granny Wei lowered her voice again and said, "I heard from the people who serve Physician Xu in the front courtyard that Physician Xu has a tattoo on his face, which is why he wears a mask to cover it up."

“Most people with tattoos on their faces have committed heinous crimes.” Granny Wei sighed, her eyes full of worry. “I don’t know why Master would invite such a person into the manor to practice medicine. Isn’t this a bit too dangerous?”

“Father has his reasons for doing this.” Ye Qing’an looked absent-minded, as if he didn’t want to hear Wei Mama say any more: “Besides, many people you may see every day and often come into contact with and think are very nice have blood on their hands. People who kill openly are not scary. People who only do things in secret and scheme and kill without shedding blood are the truly scary ones.”

"If those servants hadn't gone too far, why would Doctor Xu have gotten angry?"

Ye Qing'an waved his hand: "Alright, I'm a little tired today and want to rest for a while. You can go out now."

Granny Wei pursed her lips, wanting to say more, but seeing Ye Qing'an's expression, she had no choice but to retreat.
