Chapter 195 The handle
After Yi Moxu finished speaking, he looked at Ye Qing'an and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Liu Xueying's background is not as simple as you see it. If you only focus on Liu Xueying and only think about taking revenge on her, then you will definitely suffer a setback."
Ye Qing'an looked up, wanting to ask Yi Moxu what he meant by those words, but Yi Moxu had already turned away.
Yi Moxu quickly went out the door. Ye Qing'an remained silent for a long time before saying weakly, "I'm tired. You can go down first. I want to rest for a while."
"Yes."
Eleven was also taken away, and Ye Qing'an immediately went to the Cloud Dreamland.
Before Jiuxiao returned, Ye Qing'an summoned him back using a summoning array.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Jiu Xiao looked like he hadn't had enough: "I was watching the show. You don't know, right after you left, Ye Qinghao went straight to Liu Xueying's courtyard. Without saying a word, he waved his sleeve, and Liu Xueying was swept away by a gust of wind and fell a long way."
"Tsk, just watching that hurts."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Didn't you investigate Liu Xueying's background before?"
Jiu Xiao was stumped by Ye Qing'an's question: "Liu Xueying's background? What do you mean? Isn't Liu Xueying just a concubine that Ye Qinghao brought into the family? And don't you know about her background? Her family was originally just an ordinary merchant family. It was only after Ye Qinghao promoted her to the position of official wife that she managed to get a minor official position."
“Of course I know those things, but that’s not what I’m asking about.”
Jiuxiao looked completely bewildered: "Not these? Then what is it?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "I learned from my maternal grandfather that Liu Xueying was given to Ye Qinghao by the Prince of Dingxi. Just now, Yi Moxu warned me again, saying that Liu Xueying's background is not as simple as I imagined, and that if I only focus on Liu Xueying and think about revenge, I will definitely suffer losses."
"So, according to Yi Moxu, Liu Xueying has a background and backing that I am unaware of, and that I... at least in Yi Moxu's eyes, someone of my strength is someone he can't touch."
Jiu Xiao's face was even more bewildered than Ye Qing'an's: "I...I'll try to find out?"
“We need to investigate.” Ye Qing’an tapped his fingers lightly on the table. “A Liu Xueying, a Night Demon’s illusion, and a heavily guarded forbidden area—this Ye Manor is much more mysterious than I expected.”
Jiuxiao replied, "I'll ask around later."
Ye Qing'an then looked up at Jiu Xiao: "You just said that Ye Qinghao went to Liu Xueying's place and dumped her?"
“Yes.” Jiu Xiao immediately perked up: “I suspect that Liu Xueying’s arm was broken at that time. I heard a very loud noise.”
"It's probably because Ye Qinghao left so quickly that Liu Xueying's servants didn't have time to report what you said to her. Liu Xueying had no idea what had happened, but since the whole Ye family knew about your appearance, she probably knew you were safe and might have guessed what you had said..."
"So she kept asking if the young lady had said something, that it was your scheme, that you pretended to disappear and then pretended to reappear, and then framed her."
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "In a sense, she is indeed right."
"But Ye Qinghao only gave a cold laugh..."
Jiu Xiao coughed lightly, mimicking Ye Qinghao's tone perfectly: "Pretending to disappear? Who could pretend to disappear so badly that the entire mansion couldn't find them?"
"Try pretending to disappear for a moment?"
After Ye Qinghao finished speaking, he chuckled again: "Oh, right, you have Night Enchantress's Illusion."
"You're quite skilled, actually managing to find Nightshade to weave an illusion. Truly... impressive skill."
"However, it's gone now. You probably don't know this yet, but the Night Demon you found to weave the illusion has already died at Qing An's hands."
Liu Xueying had never heard of this before. She stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How could this be?
That night's illusion was impossible for an ordinary person to escape, but Ye Qing'an managed to escape as well.
Did she even kill that Night Demon?
Liu Xueying gritted her teeth. That's right. If Ye Qing'an hadn't killed Ye Mei, there would have been no way to leave Ye Mei's illusion.
Her heart was churning with turmoil, but Liu Xueying's face remained blank, tears welling in her eyes: "What Night Demon? What Night Demon's illusion? Master, I know nothing! Master, I'm truly innocent..."
Ye Qinghao walked over with a cold smile and grabbed Liu Xueying by the neck: "Don't know? Then do you know who Qing An met in Ye Mei's illusion after she killed Ye Mei?"
"Who?" With her neck being choked, Liu Xueying felt uncomfortable as the air was slowly taken away from her.
"She met Ninth Aunt in the illusion of the Night Demon."
Ninth Concubine?
Perhaps because no one had mentioned this title to Liu Xueying for a long time, it took Liu Xueying a long time to realize it.
Ninth Concubine?
Impossible. How could Ye Qing'an possibly meet Ninth Aunt in an illusion?
"Ninth Concubine? What happened to Ninth Concubine? Wasn't Ninth Concubine missing before? Where did Qing'an meet her? Why didn't she bring her back?"
Ye Qinghao sneered, his grip tightening: "Do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Ye Qinghao's gaze gradually turned cold: "Do you think you have something on me? Do you think I'm afraid you'll expose those things?"
"Once you're dead, there's no way to prove anything. So what if rumors spread? I'm not afraid at all. Let me tell you, I'm keeping you alive only because you're still somewhat useful."
"That doesn't mean I'm afraid of you."
“If you don’t know your place and keep causing all sorts of trouble in this mansion, I won’t hesitate to kill you.”
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes: "Does Liu Xueying have something on Ye Qinghao?"
“From what I heard, that’s exactly what Ye Qinghao said.” Jiu Xiao sighed, “That’s all I heard before you forcibly brought me back.”
"Ah... eavesdropping halfway through a conversation is such an unpleasant experience."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "Then go ahead and continue listening."
Jiuxiao indeed went directly there.
Less than fifteen minutes later, Jiu Xiao rushed back: "Something terrible has happened! Liu Xueying... has disappeared!"
