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

Chapter 119 A Good Person?

Ye Qinghao was shocked: "The Eastern Palace? What happened at the Eastern Palace?"

Seeing his anxious expression, Ye Qing'an sneered inwardly, but lowered her voice and said quickly, "I heard that Consort Liu, who serves His Highness the Crown Prince, has gotten into trouble. It turns out that the Consort Liu in the Crown Prince's palace is a 'furnace vessel,' someone who impersonated Consort Liu to enter the Eastern Palace. As a result, it was reported to the Emperor..."

"The Emperor was furious, placed the Crown Prince under house arrest, and even beat Consort Liu to death on the spot."

Ye Qing'an looked up and saw that Ye Qinghao's face was as dark as ink.

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips and continued, "When I passed by, I heard the palace servants talking about how the marriage in place of the Crown Prince was instigated by his people. The Emperor was furious when he heard this and vowed to investigate. Those involved in this matter will probably be implicated."

Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "When I heard about this before, I suddenly remembered that when I was at the Prince of Anding's residence, my younger brother Zirui seemed to be by His Highness the Crown Prince's side."

"I was worried that Zirui would be implicated, so I rushed to report to Father. It would be best if Zirui was not involved, but if he is, we can make plans as soon as possible."

Ye Qinghao's fingers, hidden in his sleeve, twitched slightly: "Zirui, I did indeed place him by His Highness the Crown Prince's side before, letting him work for His Highness. But he probably wouldn't dare to get involved in something like this."

"That would be best if it weren't there..."

Ye Qing'an scoffed. Since Consort Lan had made a point of showing her this whole thing, Ye Zirui must be implicated.

However, Ye Qing'an did not expose him, but lowered her eyes and said, "Nothing else happened..."

Before Ye Qing'an could finish speaking, a panicked voice came from outside: "Master! Something has happened!"

Ye Qinghao was already somewhat irritated by what Ye Qing'an had just said, and upon hearing the words "something happened," he became even angrier: "What do you mean, something happened? Why are you making such a fuss?"

The servant who came to report immediately knelt down. When he looked up and saw Ye Qing'an was also there, his expression became even more flustered: "The servants in the manor were secretly talking about the eldest young lady and Doctor Xu. Doctor Xu heard it, Doctor Xu... Doctor Xu... he got angry."

"Young Miss and Doctor Xu? What's their business?"

Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes: "If it's about me and Doctor Xu, I do know a little about it. After Eleven's accident, Doctor Xu came to my courtyard several times to give Eleven a follow-up examination. Some rumors have spread in the manor that Doctor Xu and I have been having an affair in secret and that we took advantage of Eleven's injury to carry on our affair openly."

Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "The rumors are quite nasty. I've heard all sorts of gossip on the estate before, and I didn't pay much attention to them. But I never expected that they would actually make a fuss about it to Doctor Xu."

“Doctor Xu…” The servant nodded repeatedly, his voice still a little breathless: “After Doctor Xu appeared, those servants argued with him and almost started fighting.”

Ye Qinghao's face grew increasingly grim, and he stepped outside, saying, "Let's go take a look."

Ye Qing'an hurriedly followed, and just as she reached the outer courtyard, she saw a flash of light ahead, followed by a cry of pain.

Then, Ye Qing'an saw what was happening not far away.

All that could be seen was a servant looking up and wailing, his hands covering his eyes, blood flowing from between his fingers.

Xu Mo faced them, holding several silver needles in his hand, his thin lips tightly pressed together, his whole body exuding coldness.

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips. She had never noticed before that this person's temperament and aura were something that neither a medical cultivator nor a male concubine could possess.

At that moment, the needle in his hand suddenly flew into the air, then stopped in mid-air, and then flew towards the maid in front of him.

Ye Qing'an only saw the needle flying swiftly in front of the maid, and then heard the maid let out a painful whimper.

Then, Xu Mo waved his hand, and the maid suddenly fell to the ground. Only then did Ye Qing'an see that the maid's mouth had been sewn shut, blood was flowing from all seven orifices, her whole body was trembling, and she stopped moving after a while.

"Killing! Killing!"

A sudden cry of alarm rang out, and the others tried to run, but were bounced back by an invisible wall of air.

"Run?" Xu Mo sneered, his whole body radiating bloodthirsty killing intent: "Today, none of those who are here will leave alive."

Ye Qinghao had been standing still watching, but upon hearing Xu Mo's words, he couldn't help but step forward. Before he even got close, he saw that the needles in Xu Mo's hand seemed to have eyes, following behind the servants who were running around in a panic, and then quickly piercing into their bodies.

Then, with a series of loud bangs, all the servants exploded, their flesh and blood turning into fine red foam that scattered and fell to the ground.

It was like a rain of blood...

The surrounding vegetation was covered in a layer of red...

Some servants were hiding in the shadows watching the commotion. Upon seeing this, they all trembled and felt their stomachs churning violently.

Some less knowledgeable people turned around and vomited while leaning against the wall.

Ye Qinghao frowned, pursed his lips and said nothing, only staring intently at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo seemed to only then notice Ye Qinghao and Ye Qing'an, and walked over without touching the ground: "Lord Ye."

Xu Mo remained calm, as if he hadn't just killed five or six people: "According to the laws of Siyou Kingdom, killing a servant of a contract is punishable by a fine. Over the years, I've been practicing medicine outside, and because my medical skills are quite good, I've accumulated some money. I'll have someone deliver the money to Lord Ye later."

Ye Qinghao lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent: "My Ye family is not unable to afford several hundred taels of silver, but I don't quite understand what those people did or said to make Doctor Xu so angry?"

"Previously..." Ye Qinghao raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on Xu Mo's face, but because Xu Mo was wearing a half-mask, he could not see the expression on Xu Mo's face: "Previously, I thought that Doctor Xu was a kind person who saved lives and healed the wounded?"

Xu Mo chuckled: "A kind person?"

Xu Mo raised his eyes and touched the mask on his face, but Ye Qinghao and Ye Qing'an both knew that what he wanted to touch was not the mask itself, but the tattoo on his face beneath it.

"If I were a good person, I probably wouldn't know where I am now, perhaps I'm already dead. If I were a good person, I wouldn't have entered this Night Mansion."

"I save lives not because I'm virtuous, but simply because I only know medicine. Medicine allows me to establish myself and gradually rise above others. I joined the Ye family because the conditions Lord Ye promised me were enough to tempt me..."

“But my joining this Ye family as a retainer does not mean that I can be talked about or insulted at will.”
