Chapter 336 We need to start planning.
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, Father has indeed entered the palace. That Taotie eats everything, and after what happened before, it has probably caused quite a bit of chaos. We don't know how things will develop afterward. As the Prime Minister of Siyou Kingdom, the safety of Siyou Kingdom is naturally closely related to you. It's quite normal for you to go to the palace to discuss how to deal with that Taotie, isn't it?"
The sixth concubine was somewhat uneasy, and she gripped her embroidered handkerchief even tighter: "But I've heard that the Taotie is an ancient ferocious beast. It probably won't be easy to deal with it. I..."
"I am a little worried about you, sir."
Are you worried about Ye Qinghao?
Ye Qing'an looked up outside. Before the Taotie appeared, the sky looked like it was going to rain, but the Taotie ate all the dark clouds, and the sky cleared up briefly. Now it was getting gloomy again.
"What's there to worry about?" Ye Qing'an's voice was very soft, almost like a murmur: "Father is the Prime Minister, second only to the Emperor. Even if someone is needed to deal with the Taotie, with Father's status and position, he wouldn't necessarily be at the forefront, would he?"
Sixth Aunt was startled. She looked up and saw Ye Qing'an with his head down, gently tidying up the medical supplies. His slender fingers were stroking the dark patterns embroidered on the clothes. There was no panic on his face, only a calm and composed expression.
Seemingly reassured by Ye Qing'an's insignificant reaction, the Sixth Concubine felt a little calmer: "That's good, that's good. I was just a little worried."
After the sixth concubine finished speaking, she looked at Ye Qing'an again: "I only heard from others that although the Second Young Master's matter was eventually resolved without danger, it is true that the Second Young Master said those things. The Emperor will definitely harbor resentment towards the Master, and I am also afraid... After all, serving the Emperor is like serving a tiger."
"Furthermore, after the master left the mansion, the steward ordered the gates to be closed and refused visitors, so the people in the mansion were even more anxious."
"Really?" Ye Qing'an paused slightly, a slight smile playing on her lips. "There are such rumors circulating in the manor? I had no idea."
Sixth Aunt realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly waved her hand, "Oh, it's just some servants in the manor worrying unnecessarily and making alarmist claims."
The sixth concubine lowered her eyes: "But I... I've never really held onto my power in managing the household. Because of Master's presence, I feel that nothing serious will happen in the mansion, so I can do my job peacefully. I'm worried that if Master goes to deal with that Taotie, even if nothing happens, the mansion will still be in turmoil just because he's not here."
"Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Sixth Aunt had been waiting for this promise through all sorts of twists and turns. Upon receiving it, Sixth Aunt felt much more at ease. Her hand, which had been fiddling with the embroidered handkerchief, stopped, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face: "Good, good, good, I knew it. I knew it. The only person I can rely on in this mansion is still Miss."
"With your words, Miss, I am at ease."
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "Now that Father is not in the manor, the most important thing for Sixth Madam to do is to keep the servants in check and prevent them from spreading rumors and disturbing people's peace."
"Yes, I understand." The sixth concubine lowered her head. "I will not disturb the eldest young lady any longer and will take my leave now."
Ye Qing'an responded and asked Granny Wei to escort Sixth Concubine out of the mansion.
As soon as the sixth concubine left, Zixiao spoke up: "The sixth concubine's biggest worry is probably something she hasn't said yet. What she's most worried about is that if the master leaves the mansion and doesn't return for many days, the madam and the other concubines in the mansion will covet the power in her hands and try every means to seize the power of managing the household affairs from her."
"She was afraid that the people in the mansion would panic and the servants would cause trouble. She had no authority in the mansion and couldn't keep them in check."
Ye Qing'an knew this too, and upon hearing this, she merely chuckled: "Her worries are truly unfounded. If something happens to the Ye family, who in this household can escape unscathed? Who can remain completely unaffected? Right now, everyone in the household is filled with panic, fearing some kind of chaos. Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't cause trouble at this time. Unless, she wants the Ye family to perish..."
Zixiao glanced at Ye Qing'an, wanting to say something, but seeing that Wei Mama had already returned, she shut her mouth.
"It's starting to rain outside." Granny Wei ran in, covering her head with her sleeve. "It's not heavy, but it's falling in a fine, dense drizzle, which is quite bothersome."
“That’s how autumn rain is.” Ye Qing’an stood up. “Let’s light the lamps; the sky will darken up in no time.”
Granny Wei responded and went into the room first to light the lamp before stepping aside.
Ye Qing'an sat on the chaise lounge, casually picking up a book. Zi Xiao quickly poured tea for Ye Qing'an, but while Ye Qing'an's gaze remained on the book in her hand, her thoughts wandered elsewhere.
She knew perfectly well that if Ye Qinghao's purpose was to show weakness, then he would definitely not return to the manor in the short term, and perhaps something would happen to him, such as disappearing or getting injured.
Gluttony is the best excuse.
Everything can be done logically and naturally.
The best way to show weakness is to prevent Ye Qinghao from returning home if he gets into trouble.
When that time comes, the Ye family will inevitably fall into chaos. She will then have to seize this opportunity to step forward and gradually take over the Ye family, and even the Ye clan, from top to bottom.
However... if that's the case, then Ye Feiran... or even Eleven...
She needs to make a good plan.
She had previously mentioned to Ye Feiran that she would send him away to learn a skill, and this was something she needed to start planning.
If Ye Feiran wants to learn how to refine spiritual weapons, then she needs to find an opportunity to visit the Su residence again.
This matter needs to be resolved quickly.
After thinking it over, Ye Qing'an dismissed the servants and went to the Cloud Dreamland.
Since Jiuxiao was not present, Ye Qing'an raised her hand and drew a summoning circle, summoning Jiuxiao over.
Jiu Xiao sighed, looking at Ye Qing'an with a mournful expression: "I was talking to Lan Qing when you summoned me here. Didn't you tell me to keep a close eye on things inside and outside the Ye residence? What have you been doing?"
"Go to the Su residence and then bring me there."
"..."
"I really owe you something. You just use me as a teleportation tool, don't you? Sigh, I must have done something terrible in my past life to have a master like you. It's so miserable, I'm so unlucky."
Although Jiu Xiao kept muttering to himself, he obediently left the Cloud Dream Realm. About a quarter of an hour later, a summoning array appeared in front of Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an stepped into the summoning array, and after a change of light and shadow, she arrived at the Su residence.
It was indeed raining outside, and the icy raindrops fell directly on Ye Qing'an's face.
Ye Qing'an frowned. It was already dark. In the main courtyard of the Su residence, lanterns were lit under the eaves, and the lights inside the houses were on. Faint voices could be heard coming from inside...
The topic of discussion... was also about the gluttonous beast.
