Is Chapter 356 about worry?
Ye Qing'an slightly raised her index finger and curled the corners of her mouth: "Alright, then I'll be watching."
Jiu Xiao brought Liu Xueying's body over. Lan Qing carefully examined Liu Xueying's body, then put a few moles on her own body before nodding and exchanging her clothes with Liu Xueying's.
Ye Qing'an raised his hand: "Take Liu Xueying's body away, put a human skin mask on it, and bury it somewhere."
Jiu Xiao responded, glanced at Liu Xueying's corpse, still finding it hard to look at, turned his face away, and carried the body away.
Ye Qing'an looked up at the sky: "It's almost dawn. Many of the servants in this courtyard have served Madam Ye for many years and know her very well. You must be careful not to give yourself away."
"Yes, Master, rest assured."
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly: "From now on, you can no longer call me master. I should call you... mother."
Lan Qing remained calm despite Ye Qing'an calling her that. She simply smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "Qing'an, you've been up all night, so go back and rest now."
Ye Qing'an responded, turned and left Liu Xueying's room. He went out and entered the Cloud Dreamland, then returned to his own room.
As soon as Ye Qing'an returned to the house, she sensed that someone was inside.
Ye Qing'an looked up and saw Yi Moxu sitting at the table looking at her.
Ye Qing'an just stared at him without saying a word.
Yi Moxu raised his hand, drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, then stood up and left the room without saying a word.
Ok?
A look of confusion flashed in Ye Qing'an's eyes. So, he waited for her here for most of the night, but just left like this?
Ye Qing'an paused slightly, a thought suddenly flashing through his mind: Could he be...?
Are you worried about yourself?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but shiver and quickly dismissed it.
How can it be?
Why would Yi Moxu sit here for most of the night just because he was worried about her?
But... how should we explain his words and actions just now?
Ye Qing'an subconsciously bit her lip, but because she was preoccupied with something, she lost her composure and the pain brought her back to her senses...
Forget it, who cares what he wants to do anyway.
Since he didn't say anything, I didn't speculate or create unnecessary trouble for myself.
Thinking this, Ye Qing'an took off her outer robe, lay down on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and began to rest.
Perhaps because she was quite tired from running around all night, she closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after. When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
Ye Qing'an called people in to help her wash up, change her clothes, and have breakfast.
After having breakfast, Ye Qing'an had just returned to her room and picked up the account book that the steward had brought yesterday. Just as she was about to look at it, she heard hurried footsteps outside.
"Miss, something happened, something serious happened."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "What major event happened? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Zixiao took a breath before lowering her voice and saying, "Madam, it seems she has been poisoned. I heard she is not quite right in the head and can't speak at all."
"Is he mentally unstable? And completely unable to speak?" Ye Qing'an closed the book in his hand, looked up at Zi Xiao, but then remembered what Liu Xueying had said in that illusion last night.
Liu Xueying said that Zixiao was asked by Liu Xueying to pretend to be loyal to her, but she actually treated her as a confidante. However, her every word and action had already been heard by Liu Xueying.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, recalling that when Zi Xiao had just surrendered, she had instructed Zi Xiao to continue passing on some trivial information to Liu Xueying, making Liu Xueying believe that her surrender was feigned.
But this could also be just a play put on by Zixiao.
So, who exactly is Zixiao working for?
As Ye Qing'an was thinking, she heard Zi Xiao continue, "Yes...it's all over the mansion. The people on Madam's side are also in a panic. They quickly invited the steward over, and the steward sent someone to invite Miss to come and take a look."
Ye Qing'an put the account book aside and stood up: "Alright, then I'll go take a look."
As Ye Qing'an walked out, she lowered her voice and said, "Do you think this might be a show put on by Liu Xueying herself?"
"Performing an opera?" A look of confusion flashed across Zi Xiao's face. "Why would she need to put on an act?"
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Yesterday, Father led troops to fight the Taotie monster. Before leaving, he sent me a message, telling me to keep a close eye on everything in this mansion. Liu Xueying was originally the mistress of this mansion, but Father did not entrust the Ye mansion to her. Naturally, she was dissatisfied."
"Furthermore, I went to her place yesterday to ask her to lend a hand. Perhaps she thinks that I have only been back in the manor for a few months and know very little about the affairs of the manor. Without her help, I would definitely be in a panic and make all sorts of trouble."
"Therefore, she deliberately pretended to be crazy and mute so that she wouldn't have to help me. In this way, if anything happened in the mansion, she could directly blame me."
Zi Xiao was slightly surprised: "That is indeed a possibility. What do you plan to do, Miss?"
Ye Qing'an sneered, her eyes flashing with a cold light: "Since she wants to pretend to be crazy, then I will grant her wish and let her be crazy and mute to her heart's content."
There were other servants in the courtyard, so Ye Qing'an didn't need to say anything more and simply stepped out the door.
I rushed to Liu Xueying's courtyard, where a lot of people had gathered inside and outside. Other concubines from the household had also come over, I don't know if they came to see me make a fool of myself or what.
"Miss."
Someone greeted Ye Qing'an, who simply nodded and went inside.
The butler was pacing back and forth in the main hall, his brow furrowed.
"Young Miss." Upon hearing the voice, the butler stopped and quickly walked towards Ye Qing'an.
"How is it? Have you called a doctor?" Ye Qing'an asked directly.
The butler nodded: "The physicians in the manor have all been invited and have examined the madam's pulse."
"How is it? What did the doctor say?"
The butler frowned: "They say it's most likely poisoning, but no one can say what kind of poison it is, where it came from, or how they were poisoned."
The butler's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an: "Miss, should we invite Physician Xu to take a look?"
"Medical Doctor Xu?" Ye Qing'an had already expected someone to bring this up. After pondering for a moment, she shook her head: "Medical Doctor Xu... let's forget about it."
