Chapter 147 Cough
Su Yusheng looked at Ye Qing'an with some surprise: "You came back this time for revenge?"
“Yes.” Ye Qing’an pursed her lips: “The reason I got pregnant back then was not because I had an affair, but because I was framed by Ye Weilan. Ye Weilan is my half-sister, and also the daughter of the current Madam Ye.”
"At that time, I didn't know Ye Weilan's true colors. My brother and I were having a hard time, and Ye Weilan would occasionally help us out. I thought she was a good person and trusted her completely."
“She asked me to accompany her to the temple to pray for blessings, so I went. She pretended to have been kidnapped in the middle of the night, and I rushed to rescue her, but I was taken to the dining hall and then drugged and defiled.”
"The next day, she brought people to catch him in the act of adultery. The man insisted that he and I had known each other for a long time and that I had arranged to meet him there in secret."
Upon hearing this, Su Yusheng and Madam Su were both furious: "So that's how it is! You didn't tell your ungrateful father about this?"
"I was too stupid back then and didn't suspect anything. Besides, the news had already spread, and my father felt that I had disgraced the Ye family's reputation, so he didn't want to listen to my explanation at all."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and bit her lip: "Moreover, I suspect that my mother's death back then was not just an accident."
Su Yusheng and Old Madam Su exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with even more surprise: "Didn't your mother die in childbirth when she gave birth to your younger brother? Wasn't it an accident?"
“Mother’s childbirth wasn’t exactly difficult. She died from postpartum hemorrhage after giving birth to my younger brother.” Ye Qing’an looked up at Su Yusheng and his wife. “At the time, we all thought it was an accident. But it was only after I returned to the manor some time ago that I learned that when Mother was pregnant, it was the current Madam Ye who tried every means to manage the kitchen and curry favor with Mother, sending her all sorts of nourishing soups.”
"Mother overdid it in Yunqi, causing the baby to be too big and making childbirth extremely difficult. But despite her near-death experience, Mother safely gave birth to my younger brother. Mother was already very weak after giving birth, yet she instructed the servants to bring her a soup made with angelica, donkey-hide gelatin, and venison..."
Having given birth to several children, Old Madam Su was very knowledgeable about childbirth. She slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, "Nonsense! She's trying to kill Wan'er!"
Su Yusheng asked, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't that a tonic soup?"
“It was a tonic soup.” Ye Qing’an nodded. “But my mother had just given birth and was still bleeding. She was very weak. The soup was not only very nourishing, but it also had the effect of promoting blood circulation. One bowl of that soup was enough to kill my mother.”
Su Yusheng clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Great, excellent!" Su Yusheng slammed his hand on the table. "I'm going to the Ye residence right now to find Ye Qinghao and make him pay for my daughter's life!"
After saying that, he bent over and coughed violently.
“Grandfather…” Ye Qing’an quickly stopped him: “Grandfather, they did these things very secretly back then. Now the witnesses and evidence have been destroyed. It will be no use for you to come to us like this.”
"Furthermore, Ye Qinghao has already been appointed Prime Minister, and he practically controls everything in the court. Grandfather, you absolutely mustn't..."
Madam Su nodded: "Qing'an is right. What's the point of you going to make a scene with him now? But these things can't just be left like this!"
After finishing her speech, Madam Su looked at Ye Qing'an and said, "Now that you are all alone in the Ye family, isn't it very dangerous? Why don't you move to our Su family first? Although the Su family is not as powerful as it used to be, it is still more than enough to protect you and your child."
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "I saved Consort Lan by chance at the manor. Consort Lan regards me as her savior and treats me very well. Now that Consort Lan is protecting me, they don't dare to do anything to me openly for the time being."
"Moreover..." Ye Qing'an raised his eyes to look at the two elders of the Su family: "Moreover, I have obtained an opportunity and have now repaired my dantian. Moreover, I have extremely high talent. Ye Qinghao still values me quite a bit."
"The matter of revenge must be planned carefully and taken step by step. When I have accomplished my great task, it will be time for the Ye family to pay with their lives."
The two elders of the Su family exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with surprise: "You can cultivate now?"
"Yes."
"Good, good!" Old Madam Su cried tears of joy: "Your dantian was congenitally damaged, which was your mother's greatest regret in her life. Heaven has finally been kind to us."
Ye Qing'an smiled and nodded: "Grandfather and Grandmother, please don't worry about me. I have my own plans for the Ye family. I will be fine. If anything happens, I will definitely ask Grandfather and Grandmother for help first."
Su Yusheng snorted coldly: "Even if you ask me for help, I can't help you."
"Shut up!" Old Madam Su glared at her. "If you can't speak properly, get out of here."
Su Yusheng pursed his lips, glared at Ye Qing'an, and then started coughing again.
Ye Qing'an glanced at Su Yusheng and saw that although he was in excellent spirits, he seemed to have a sickly look on his face.
Is Grandfather's health not very good?
"Bullshit!" Su Yusheng was immediately displeased when he heard Ye Qing'an say that: "Who said I'm not in good health? I'm perfectly healthy! Someone like you, I could take on a hundred of you, believe it or not?"
Madam Su glared at him again, and Su Yusheng turned his head to look at the carriage wall without saying a word.
Madam Su then said, "It's an old problem. Tongxin Prefecture is a remote place, and the soil there is not very good. There is little rain, and it doesn't rain all year round, so many crops can't grow. There is a lot of sand and dust."
“Your maternal grandfather stayed there for a long time and developed a cough. He saw many doctors, but none of them could help. They said they could only try to find a elixir of grade seven or higher. But elixirs of grade four or higher are not easy to find, let alone grade seven or higher.”
Madam Su sighed, "Back in Wangjing, we might have been able to find one or two pills, but in Tongxin Prefecture, there's simply no way to get them. The reason I was so eager for him to resign and return to Wangjing was actually to see if we could find any pills to cure his old ailment."
"It's just a cough, it doesn't have any major impact, so what's the point of treating it?"
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes slightly. Spirit pills of grade seven or above usually require spirit herbs of grade seven or above to be refined, and require an extremely good alchemist.
However, the purple-gold furnace in the Cloud Dream Realm is an excellent item, and it does not require alchemists to have high cultivation levels to refine top-grade pills.
Therefore, the recipes on those pill formulas were almost all for pills of grade four or higher.
Fourth-grade pills can be refined using ordinary medicinal herbs in the Purple Gold Furnace, while seventh-grade pills can be refined using fifth-grade spiritual herbs.
She had seen quite a few seventh-grade pill recipes in that book of pill recipes.
However, she didn't have any fifth-grade spiritual herbs.
However, although she didn't have any fifth-grade spiritual herbs, she did have silver...
