Chapter 474 Can't Laugh Too Loud
The steward took in Ye Qing'an's expression and reaction, and paused for a moment before saying, "Miss, you can tell this old servant anything you need to say, and this old servant can find a way to pass it on to the master."
Ye Qing'an hesitated for a moment before biting her lip and shaking her head: "Never mind, Father should be back in a few days anyway, I'll just wait. It's not anything... particularly urgent."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she took a deep breath: "Has the manor prepared mourning clothes for me? I should go and keep vigil for my mother."
"Yes, there is." The steward nodded. "This old servant will immediately have someone take it to Miss's courtyard. Miss, please rest for a while and change your clothes before going there."
"it is good."
Ye Qing'an responded and then turned and left the main courtyard.
The butler's gaze was fixed on Ye Qing'an's back. When Ye Qing'an went out the door and turned right, the butler's eyes suddenly brightened, then slowly dimmed. He looked down at the obituary he was holding, then turned back to the study in the main courtyard. As soon as he entered the study, the butler closed the door.
"Gone?" A deep voice suddenly rang out in the study; it was Ye Qinghao.
"Yes, I'm leaving."
Ye Qinghao responded, holding a bottle in his hand: "What was her reaction? What did she say?"
"The young lady said she had something important to discuss with the master. I told her she could tell him and I would pass on the message, but she refused."
"When the young lady spoke, her eyes flickered and her gaze was somewhat unfocused. She dared not look at this old servant, probably because she knew that the death of the madam was related to her. This old servant thinks that the young lady probably wanted to be honest with you, sir. She probably thought that this old servant did not know that she had mentioned to you before that the madam might be Ye Mei, so she dared not let this old servant relay the message."
Ye Qinghao picked up the bottle in his hand and held it up to the light: "If she is honest with me about this, that would be the best. If not, then we need to be careful of Ye Qing'an. She and I are not close to begin with, and now that she has grown up, no one can guarantee that she hasn't developed some inappropriate thoughts."
"Yes." The butler nodded. "If Master wants to know what Miss wants to do, he can pretend to come back and have me bring her to you so we can see what she wants to say to you."
"No rush, let's observe first. During this time, keep a close eye on her and see what she's up to."
Ye Qinghao gripped the bottle tightly: "Write down every move she makes and every word she says, and report back to me later."
After Ye Qinghao finished speaking, he paused slightly before continuing, "If you can't remember, you can learn from Ye Qing'an how to use the sound-stealing bubble."
"Old slave understands."
……
Ye Qing'an had already returned to the courtyard. Granny Wei and Zixiao had changed into plain clothes and were wearing white flowers in their hair, waiting in the courtyard.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Is everything settled by the time of the 11th?"
"Miss, everything has been arranged."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Where is Qingdai?"
"Qingdai has returned to her room." Granny Wei said hurriedly, "I was thinking that Qingdai has been working hard by Miss's side these past few days. Now that Miss has returned to the manor, let me and Zixiao stay by Miss's side to serve her, so that Qingdai can get some rest."
How could Ye Qing'an not know what Wei Mama was up to? She probably felt that Qingdai had been too close to her these past few days and was afraid that she would trust Qingdai too much and neglect them.
Ye Qing'an smiled and nodded: "Alright, make me a strong cup of tea. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Zixiao responded and followed Ye Qing'an into the house, where she brewed tea.
“Miss.” Granny Wei stood to the side, her gaze sweeping over Ye Qing’an from head to toe for a while before she finally couldn’t contain her joy: “I heard that you, Miss, have received divine favor through a fortuitous encounter and have been promoted to the Supreme Being?”
"Yes." Ye Qing'an nodded: "That is true."
Granny Wei's eyes lit up immediately: "I heard people outside talking about it before, and I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true!"
Before Ye Qing'an could answer, Granny Wei looked her up and down for a while longer: "But I can't see anything different about you now that you've been promoted to the Supreme Realm."
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an asked, puzzled. "What's different?"
Zixiao laughed out loud: "After hearing this news, Granny kept asking me if the Supreme Being was different from ordinary people. Would the Supreme Being be glowing, or would their appearance become different, or would they walk with the wind in their step?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'm afraid we'll have to disappoint you, Granny, there's nothing here."
Granny Wei smiled somewhat embarrassedly, but her gaze lingered on Ye Qing'an for a long time: "It doesn't matter if it's different or not. At least you've become a Supreme Being, your spiritual power is higher, and your skills are higher, so not many people will dare to bully you, Miss."
“Yes.” Zixiao seemed to remember something and smiled as well: “Miss did not see how ugly the eldest young master’s face was when he heard that you had become a Supreme Being. His expression was like he wanted to eat people.”
“Indeed.” Granny Wei laughed as she recalled the situation: “The young master, in disbelief, even sent people to inquire everywhere, probably thinking those rumors were false, but in the end, he still couldn’t get what he wanted…”
As soon as Granny Wei finished speaking, a voice rang out in the courtyard: "Is the eldest young lady here? This servant was sent by the steward to deliver mourning clothes to the eldest young lady."
Granny Wei quickly responded and went out to bring in the mourning clothes, but her expression was rather unpleasant: "Why should the eldest young lady wear mourning clothes for that wretched woman? After the madam died in childbirth, that wretched woman whispered in the master's ear, saying that the madam died in childbirth. Diing in childbirth, leaving only the child, is too unlucky. If we hold a grand ceremony, it may affect the prosperity of the family."
"Master also believed her nonsense and didn't allow any ceremony. He only told us people from our own courtyard to keep vigil and offer sacrifices in the courtyard. Even that slut's two children didn't wear mourning clothes for Madam. Now that she's dead, you, Miss, are expected to wear mourning clothes? Why should I?"
Ye Qing'an was unaware of this detail and simply smiled, saying, "It's alright. What's wrong with wearing mourning clothes? It depends on how you look at it. Wearing mourning clothes is a good way to watch people make a fool of themselves."
"Someone who was so powerful and proud before has now fallen to such a miserable end, lying in that wooden coffin. I can watch from the outside. How wonderful. It's just that Ye Zirui is in the mourning hall, so I probably can't laugh too loudly."
