Chapter 340 Biological Father
"Your hair is still a little damp; did you go outside?"
Ye Qing'an slowly put down the book in her hand, then stood up, walked to the glass lamp on the table, picked up the long needle under the lamp, and gently lifted the wick, removing a section of the wick that was soaked in the lamp oil.
With a "pop," a light bulb exploded, and then the almost extinguished flame reignited, suddenly brightening the room.
"I heard that Doctor Xu went out on business earlier, and it's been almost two hours since he left, hasn't it? What did he go to do?"
Ye Qing'an put the long needle down again, turned her head, and saw Yi Moxu looking at her with a half-smile.
"My disappearance only needs to be explained to one person, and that is..."
Before Yi Moxu could finish speaking, Ye Qing'an interrupted him directly: "Alright, I was just asking casually. You don't need to tell me, and I don't want to know either."
Yi Moxu seemed to still have some unsatisfaction: "That is, my wife. If you are willing to marry me, I will tell you everything honestly, in detail, when I went, where I went, who I met, and what I did."
Ye Qing'an just scoffed and ignored him, instead calling out to Zi Xiao, "Zi Xiao, I'm hungry, let's serve the food."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an stood up, about to leave, when she heard Yi Moxu speak again: "I'm going to the palace."
Ye Qing'an paused slightly, turned to look at Yi Moxu, wondering why Yi Moxu had suddenly changed his mind.
"The Taotie was lured to the outskirts of the city by Abbot Minghua using the beast-attracting bell. Abbot Minghua tried to subdue the Taotie, but failed. The Taotie ran rampant in the outskirts of the city and had already devoured a dense forest. The grass, trees, and even wild animals in the forest all fell victim to the Taotie's venomous hands."
"When the news reached the palace, Ye Qinghao was discussing with Yi Yunkui how to deal with the Taotie. Upon hearing the news, he volunteered to lead troops into battle and subdue the Taotie."
Ye Qing'an wasn't surprised, she just raised an eyebrow: "Yi Yun Kui agreed?"
“Of course I agree.” Yi Moxu also stood up. “Yi Yunkui is also having his own ideas.”
Yi Yunkui also had his own plans...
Ye Qing'an pondered Yi Moxu's words in her heart and tasted their meaning.
That's right. Yi Yun Kui isn't stupid. He naturally has his own plans and probably knows what Ye Qing Hao is up to.
Ye Qing'an pondered to herself, what would she do if she were in Yi Yun Kui's position...
They will... they will set traps and spies among the troops dispatched by Ye Qinghao.
This will prevent Ye Qinghao from returning, or at least prevent him from escaping unscathed.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes; this purpose seemed to overlap somewhat with hers.
If that's the case, Ye Qinghao's journey ahead will likely be difficult.
It seems that besides figuring out how to control the Ye family, I also need to think carefully about how to present myself to the public...
Ye Qing'an, with her mind racing, went outside and sat down at the table.
Even after dinner, Yi Moxu still did not leave.
Ye Qing'an glanced at him: "It's getting late, Doctor Xu should go back to his room and rest early."
Yi Moxu tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Is the Ye family about to descend into chaos?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and remained silent.
"If you intend to take advantage of this situation, what will happen to Eleven? How do you plan to deal with him?"
eleven……
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes: "I plan to have him pretend to be sick and place him in the Cloud Dream Realm."
"We don't know when this matter will be settled. Do you think he can hide in that small place for months? Half a year? A year?"
Ye Qing'an smiled: "Placing him in the Cloud Dream Realm does not mean that he will hide there for a long time. I can use the Cloud Dream Realm to make him disappear from the Ye Mansion out of thin air, and then find a relatively secluded place to hide him."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she noticed Yi Moxu's expression, as if he was calculating something or worrying about something.
Ye Qing'an's smile immediately vanished: "No matter what, I will not allow you to make a move on Eleven. Eleven is my son, I gave birth to him and raised him, and I will not easily hand him over to anyone, even if you are his biological father."
Yi Moxu wasn't too surprised. He just gave a casual "hmm" and then stood up and went out.
A moment later, Zixiao entered: "Medical Doctor Xu has left the courtyard again."
“Okay.” Ye Qing’an responded, then added, “From now on, you don’t need to report to me where Doctor Xu goes in and out of our courtyard. Now that he’s moved in, just treat him as one of the people in the courtyard, as your master.”
Zixiao was taken aback, pondering the meaning behind Ye Qing'an's words. After a long while, she nodded gently: "Yes, Miss, don't worry, I understand. Would you like to take a bath, Miss? I'll go prepare some hot water for you."
"Go."
As soon as Zixiao left, Ye Qing'an saw Eleven standing at the door.
It seems that Shi Yi didn't use an umbrella; his hair and face were still wet with rain, his complexion was somewhat pale, his expression was dazed, and his eyes were blank.
Ye Qing'an quickly pulled the person closer: "What happened? Did you get caught in the rain? Did something happen?"
As Ye Qing'an spoke, she took a dry towel and dried Eleven's hair.
Eleven stared intently at Ye Qing'an, her bright eyes seeming to hold a secret for the first time.
"Why didn't the maid come with us?"
Only then did Shiyi seem to come to her senses. She quickly lowered her eyes, her voice slightly hoarse: "I said I came to find my mother. She's just in our courtyard, a few steps away. I didn't let any servants follow me."
“You can’t come over by yourself even if you’re in our yard.”
Ye Qing'an murmured softly, then glanced out the window again.
The window was open, and lanterns hung under the eaves outside. Through the light of the lanterns, one could clearly see the intensity of the rain outside.
The rain outside isn't heavy...
If it were just the distance from the side courtyard to the main courtyard, it would be impossible to get one's hair this wet.
Ye Qing'an looked down at Eleven, curled the corners of her lips, and tried to keep her voice as soft as possible, her tone carrying a hint of disappointment: "My Eleven has grown up, and has begun to have a distance from his mother, and has his own little secrets."
Eleven suddenly raised his head, then quickly shook his head: "No, no."
"Still lying to your mother?"
Eleven suddenly fell silent. After a long while, she looked at Ye Qing'an again and said, "Mother, you are my mother. Shouldn't we be sincere with each other?"
“Yes.” Ye Qing’an nodded: “We are the closest people in the world.”
Eleven gave a soft "hmm," paused for a while, and then suddenly said, "I heard you talking to Uncle Xu earlier."
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an was somewhat bewildered.
"Biological father".
