Chapter 417 is too old.
Ye Qing'an paused, turned around, and saw someone walking towards her.
Liu Enze.
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows, a fleeting look of surprise in her eyes. Meeting Liu Enze here was completely unexpected.
"Master Liu."
Liu Enze responded and stopped a meter away from her, his expression gentle: "I haven't seen Miss Ye since we parted ways last time, so I never expected to run into her here."
"I have heard about Prime Minister Ye's situation. I'm worried about you. I've been thinking about you, but it's really inconvenient for me to visit you. When I went to the palace earlier, I heard that you were also there, so I waited here specifically to ask you about it."
Did you come here specifically to wait for me?
This Lord Liu is quite thoughtful, is it simply because she is Su Wan's daughter?
Love the house and the bird?
Thinking of the daughter of an old friend...
Ye Qing'an pondered inwardly, but smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, sir."
Liu Enze remained silent for a long time. Palace servants frequently passed by in the passageway. Although they all kept their heads down, they would still secretly observe the three people standing there.
After a long pause, Liu Enze nodded: "It's good that you're alright. Although I don't know if what happened in the Ye family recently has anything to do with you, I still have to advise you: the waters of the Ye family are deeper than you imagine. If you're not careful, you might drown in them."
"The Night Mansion is not a place to linger. If you are..."
Liu Enze's throat moved slightly: "If you want to avenge your mother, it will probably be difficult for you to do it on your own."
“If you are…” Liu Enze took a deep breath: “If you really want to avenge your mother, you can come and find me.”
Upon hearing Liu Enze's words, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but glance at him.
Liu Enze's eyes were deep and heavy, as if he wanted to hide all his thoughts within them, but unintentionally, a hint of pain was revealed.
It seems that even mentioning that person would inevitably bring out a wave of sadness.
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "Sir, you are joking. I am just a woman, powerless and without influence. What revenge could I possibly take?"
Liu Enze simply shook his head: "This isn't the place to talk..."
As Liu Enze spoke, he took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Ye Qing'an: "Take this. Go back and think it over carefully. If you understand it, come find me."
“There are many people watching the Liu residence, so you don’t need to go there. Lanyuan Pavilion in the city is a library. Go there and show this jade pendant to the manager of the library. I will get the news and then I will find a way to contact you.”
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the jade pendant, but she neither reached out nor made a sound.
Liu Enze frowned slightly, raised his hand, and directly placed the jade pendant into Ye Qing'an's hand before leaving.
Ye Qing'an watched Liu Enze walk away before looking down at the jade pendant in her hand. This Grand Tutor Liu was indeed a deeply affectionate man.
Seeing that Ye Qing'an was constantly looking at the jade pendant in her hand, Eleven frowned slightly and said, "It's too old."
"Huh?" Ye Qing'an's mind was brought back by Eleven, and she looked down at Eleven in a daze: "What? What's too old?"
Eleven pointed to the jade pendant in Ye Qing'an's hand: "The person who gave Mother the token of love just now, is he too old? Although he is not bad-looking, he looks at least twenty years older than Mother, right?"
"Mother already has a father...and Xu Yixiu, how can she accept a token of love from someone else so easily? That's not right."
"A token of...love?" Ye Qing'an murmured, somewhat amused and exasperated, and chuckled softly, "You little devil, what nonsense are you spouting? This is hardly a token of love."
"Then what is this?" Eleven pouted. "I spend most of my time with my mother, but I've never seen this person before. Who is he? And why would he give my mother a jade pendant?"
"In the storybooks Ye Feiran read before, jade pendants were all used as tokens of love."
Is this another story by Ye Feiran?
Ye Qing'an sighed and said that as soon as she returned to the manor, she threw away all of Ye Feiran's messy storybooks.
Ye Qing'an took Eleven's hand and walked forward: "That man's surname is Liu. He is the head of the Liu family, one of the four great families in the city. He is about the same age as Ye Qinghao. He is someone your maternal grandmother knew. Before your maternal grandmother married Ye Qinghao, that Mr. Liu had always liked your maternal grandmother."
"Later, your maternal grandmother chose Ye Qinghao over him. Mr. Liu was heartbroken and never married. After your maternal grandmother passed away, he and Ye Qinghao had a complete falling out."
“He has never married or had children. I met him once before, and he recognized me at a glance. He said that his grandmother had passed away suddenly, and he was heartbroken. He felt guilty for not being able to take good care of me in place of your grandmother.”
"They probably heard about Ye Qinghao's accident and came here specifically to wait for me."
Eleven blinked her big eyes: "So, he gave this jade pendant to Mother so that she could ask him for help if she encountered any problems, because of Grandmother?"
"Ah."
"Grandma's judgment was really questionable. How come so many people liked her, and she picked and chose Ye Qinghao after all that? That Mr. Liu just now was much more refined and handsome than Ye Qinghao, and he was so affectionate towards Grandma..."
Ye Qing'an chuckled, her voice laced with mockery: "You just said he was too old."
“How can they be the same?” Eleven argued, “I said he looked too old because I thought he wanted to pursue Mother. Wasn’t I mistaken? If he were to be with Grandmother, then he would be a perfect match.”
“Sigh…” Eleven thought for a moment, then said, “Although my grandmother’s judgment is not very good, when I think about it, if she hadn’t married Ye Qinghao, she wouldn’t have a mother, and without a mother, she wouldn’t have me. So I feel that it doesn’t seem so good.”
Ye Qing'an was amused by Eleven's conflicted expression and simply raised her hand to ruffle Eleven's hair: "You."
After leaving the palace with Eleven, Ye Qing'an headed towards the place where the carriages were parked and people were waiting. Before she even reached the carriages of the Ye family, Ye Qing'an saw a person standing next to them. The person was dressed in white, with a gentle and refined face, looking like a handsome young gentleman.
As if sensing Ye Qing'an's gaze, the person turned around, looked at Ye Qing'an, paused slightly, and then cupped their hands in greeting: "Elder sister."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, then smiled and said, "Little brother Zirui, little brother Zirui is finally back. We were so worried about you all this time."
"It's good that you're back now, it's good that you're back." Ye Qing'an seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief: "Now that you're back, I finally have someone to talk to about things."
