Chapter 385 Who said they came to support her?
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes and glanced at Yi Moxu. Yi Moxu's face, which could eclipse the sun and moon, did not have its usual coldness; instead, there was a smile in his eyes.
Ye Qing'an was momentarily lost in thought, but after a while, she suddenly laughed: "Yes."
"Ok?"
Yi Moxu was completely taken aback by Ye Qing'an's response and paused for a moment: "You mean, 'hmm'?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled, inexplicably finding Yi Moxu's appearance quite amusing.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard faint footsteps outside. Ye Qing'an's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Someone is coming."
The moment he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot.
Yi Moxu's outstretched hand froze halfway, and after a long pause, he chuckled and withdrew it.
……
Ye Qing'an left the Dreamland of Clouds and had just sat down on the soft couch with a book in her hand when she saw Granny Wei walk in from outside: "Miss, the steward has arrived."
Ye Qing'an responded, put down the book, stood up, and left the bedroom for the main hall.
"Young Miss," the steward greeted Ye Qing'an, "I was out on business earlier and only learned upon my return that you had already returned to the manor. I wonder if your journey to the palace went smoothly?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Everything went smoothly."
Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table before continuing, "Has the steward sent anyone to report these events that have occurred in the manor to Father?"
"The people we sent have already gone there, but the master has not yet sent a message back."
Ye Qing'an nodded, and pondered for a moment: "After I entered the palace yesterday, Consort Lan asked about things in my residence, and told me that because I rushed into the palace to fetch the imperial physician that day, many people in the palace knew about it..."
“From last night until this morning I’ve been thinking that Father went to deal with that Taotie to show weakness. Since it’s a show of weakness, and so many things have happened in the manor, why not show weakness properly?”
"Father is away, the mistress of the manor has been poisoned and gone mad, and the eldest son is still in the palace. Tonight, apart from some concubines who are unable to manage the situation, only I, the eldest young lady who is known by everyone to be a good-for-nothing, am in charge of the manor."
"Now that the Night Mansion has become like this, the Emperor has no reason to attack our Night Mansion anymore."
The butler raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qing'an, as if he was considering something.
However, what Ye Qing'an said was indeed a method.
After all, they had painstakingly planned this whole thing because the Emperor was wary of the Night Mansion and the power of the aristocratic families, and wanted to weaken their power.
If the Ye family is in the situation described by Ye Qing'an, at least in the eyes of outsiders, then it might evoke some sympathy. In that case, it would be somewhat unreasonable for the Emperor to want to weaken the Ye family's power.
"This old servant has noted it down. This old servant will write a letter to the master, and it's up to the master to decide what to do."
Ye Qing'an nodded and smiled, "Okay, thank you, butler."
"When I thought about this before, I felt that it might not be entirely a bad thing that my mother and Feiran had such an incident at this time."
"It is precisely because such a thing happened in our household, and many people in the palace know about it, that they feel sorry for our Ye family. When Father returns safely, it won't seem so bad for the Emperor."
The steward nodded in agreement: "This old servant will take care of it immediately."
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips and watched the butler leave, her face full of pleasure.
With the matriarch of the Ye family in trouble, the eldest son trapped in the palace, and the legitimate son sent to Liuyun City for medical treatment due to poisoning, only she, the useless eldest daughter, was left to struggle to keep the family afloat.
If Ye Qinghao listens to her and is willing to perform this play.
That night, Qinghao would definitely find a way to send someone back to the manor to help this useless young lady, to help her consolidate her power in the manor, at least on the surface, so that she could be the head of the Ye family and the master of the Ye family.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. When the time came, she would naturally find a way to ensure that the position of head of the Ye family was truly secured.
At least on the surface, it has been put into practice.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. As long as Ye Qinghao could help her temporarily take the position of acting head of the family, she could truly control the Ye clan.
Granny Wei brought in the tea, and seeing that the steward had already left, she hesitated for a moment before placing the tea beside Ye Qing'an, looking as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself...
Ye Qing'an picked up her teacup and took a sip: "Was Ye Weilan well-behaved last night?"
Granny Wei hurriedly said, "Sixth Madam came over early this morning and said that yesterday evening, Ye Weilan sent someone out of the mansion to deliver a letter to the Fifth Prince."
"Sixth Aunt wanted to stop her, but Second Miss scolded her, saying that she wasn't a criminal, so why couldn't she even send out letters?"
"It's perfectly normal for her and the Fifth Prince to correspond, given that they are betrothed by the Emperor. Who would dare to stop Sixth Aunt?"
"They even said that Sixth Aunt was just a concubine, while she was the legitimate daughter of the Ye family. They asked where Sixth Aunt got the audacity to stop her from writing letters to the Fifth Prince."
Ye Qing'an smiled. This Ye Weilan was quite interesting. She was blatantly using the Fifth Prince as her get-out-of-jail-free card.
She probably felt that with Yi Yun Kui's imperial decree of marriage in her hands, she could rest easy, and the marriage would be as secure as Mount Tai.
She felt that since she was already the Fifth Prince's wife, she could disregard everyone else in the mansion.
That's incredibly naive.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Let her deliver it. I want to see what kind of trouble she can cause."
Granny Wei glanced at Ye Qing'an's face, opened her mouth, and after a long while, said casually, "This second young lady isn't even married yet, and she's already so arrogant. If she really marries the fifth prince in the future, won't she be riding on your head, eldest young lady?"
Ye Qing'an merely curled the corners of her lips, waved her hand, and remained silent.
In the afternoon, Ye Qing'an was taking a nap in her room when she heard people talking outside. Then, Granny Wei hurriedly came to report: "Miss, the Fifth Prince has arrived and is here to see you."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Fifth Prince? Requesting an audience with me?"
Ye Qing'an glanced at the table with her finger and smiled slightly: "Please invite the Fifth Prince to the flower hall. I'll be out soon."
"Send someone to the madam's courtyard and pretend to casually reveal to Ye Weilan that the Fifth Prince is visiting."
"Huh?" Granny Wei was stunned, her face full of confusion: "You're going to tell Ye Weilan about this? She was already so arrogant and domineering before, and now that she hears that the Fifth Prince is visiting her and backing her up, won't she be even more cocky?"
"Who said the Fifth Prince came to back her up?" Ye Qing'an said, then stood up and left.
