Chapter 382 You Help Me
"Night Enchantress?" Lan Qing's eyes widened. Even she, who was usually good at disguising herself, couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment.
"How could this be?" Lan Qing frowned, and after stewing for a while, she still found it a bit unbelievable: "But aren't the appearances of the Night Demon Clan different from ordinary people?"
Lan Qing raised her hand and touched her face. This Lady Ye's appearance didn't seem to resemble Ye Mei at all.
Furthermore, this is a top secret matter, and Madam Ye must have tried every means to keep it from being known by others, right?
Why was it only Ye Qing'an who knew?
Ye Qing'an seemed to have guessed what Lan Qing was thinking, and said directly, "I accidentally stumbled into the illusion woven by Liu Xueying, and that's how I discovered Liu Xueying's identity as Ye Mei. This is also why I have to get rid of Liu Xueying. If Liu Xueying doesn't die, I'm afraid I'll be the one who dies."
Lan Qing's expression grew increasingly astonished; the illusion of the Night Demon...
Legend has it that in the Night Demon's illusion, no matter how high one's spiritual power, it is very difficult to escape once trapped inside.
But Ye Qing'an actually broke out and even killed the weaver of the illusion?
Lan Qing was filled with shock. If what Ye Qing'an said was true, then she really needed to get to know her master better.
"These two things are Liu Xueying's biggest secrets, and you must know them. I don't know if Liu Xueying has any clansmen or other allies in Wangjing City, but if someone comes looking for you, you can't give yourself away."
"My subordinate understands."
Ye Qing'an responded with a smile: "I believe in you, you will definitely be able to handle it."
"Yes, I can handle it." Lan Qing smiled slightly. "At worst, I'll just pretend to be crazy."
“Hmm.” Ye Qing’an smiled as well: “At worst, we can just pretend to be crazy, that’s true.”
"Oh, right." Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table. "I'll leave a sound-stealing bubble here with you later. Do me a favor, if you can."
"Hmm? Please give your orders, Miss."
"Help me, find a way to get some information out of Granny Li about the truth of my mother's death nine years ago."
Lan Qing was taken aback: "The truth about the eldest young lady's mother's death?"
“My mother died during childbirth when she was giving birth to my younger brother. But I learned beforehand that my mother’s death was not an accident, but was deliberately caused by Liu Xueying. After my mother gave birth, they fed her a soup that looked like a tonic, but was actually a very deadly blood-activating medicine.”
"But Liu Xueying doesn't admit to this. She handled the matter very cleanly back then. She has cleaned up all the witnesses and evidence. I'm also struggling because I don't have any evidence. I haven't been able to find a fair way to make Liu Xueying pay for my mother's life."
"Help me out of this, try to scam them."
Lan Qing quickly understood: "Granny Li has been serving Liu Xueying all along. Others may not know this, but Granny Li certainly does."
"That's right."
Ye Qing'an laughed, raised her hand, and a sound-stealing bubble slid out from her sleeve.
"If you can get any evidence out of Granny Li, I will reward you handsomely."
Lan Qing lowered her head and responded. Ye Qing'an then heard very light footsteps outside. Ye Qing'an chuckled and winked at Lan Qing.
Lan Qing immediately understood and didn't say anything more.
The footsteps stopped outside the door, but no one came in for a long time.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips and said with a smile, "Mother, it is indeed wrong of Second Sister to do what she did, but because Second Sister's marriage is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, which is related to Father and the future of the entire Ye family, we cannot make a big fuss about this matter."
"Mother, there's no need to be too sad. You still have your little brother Zirui. You should always think about him."
"Now that my younger brother Zirui is in the Eastern Palace, news can't get in, so he doesn't know what's happening to you in the mansion. I've already asked Consort Lan to pass on a message to my younger brother Zirui: Mother, even for your younger brother Zirui's sake, you should pull yourself together."
Liu Xueying gritted her teeth and stared intently at Ye Qing'an, her face filled with panic and frustration: "I don't want to hear it, get out."
As soon as Liu Xueying finished speaking, Granny Li rushed in: "Madam, Eldest Miss."
Ye Qing'an sighed and stood up: "Now that Granny Li has returned, I shall take my leave. Mother, please take good care of yourself."
Ye Qing'an bowed and then left.
Just as Ye Qing'an stepped into the courtyard, Granny Li chased after her.
"Miss."
Ye Qing'an paused, turned around and looked at Granny Li with some surprise: "Granny, what's wrong?"
Granny Li stopped and remained silent for a while before saying, "Miss, I'm really worried about Madam's condition. I wonder if you could have Physician Xu come and examine Madam again?"
Ye Qing'an glanced at Granny Li but said nothing.
Li Mama's eyes immediately reddened: "I know, because of the Second Miss's plan to poison Madam, the Eldest Miss must already be on guard. I can assure you, I would never do such a thing..."
"Once Doctor Xu examines Madam, Miss can transfer me away and stop me from serving here. Miss can send someone to keep an eye on Madam. In this way, Miss won't have to worry that I will do anything to Madam."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled. It was a good idea. If she sent someone to serve Liu Xueying, and something happened to Liu Xueying, would she be able to escape?
“Granny, you misunderstand. It’s not that I didn’t want Doctor Xu to come. It’s just that yesterday morning, Fei Ran was poisoned by the poison that my second sister intended to give to Mother. And because the poison was meant for both Fei Ran and Eleventh, but Fei Ran ingested it alone, his poisoning is more severe…”
"After examining Fei Ran, Doctor Xu was also at a loss and suggested that his master could take a look at him. I had no other choice but to let Doctor Xu take Fei Ran out of the city to see his master."
"Many people in the manor know about this. So, since Doctor Xu is not in the manor at all, I really have no way to get him to treat my mother."
Granny Li's face was filled with astonishment: "How...how could such a thing happen? How could this be...how could this be?"
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "I don't know what exactly happened either. I haven't found out who poisoned me or where the poison came from yet."
"Feiran and Doctor Xu have been away from the manor for a day now, and I don't even know their current situation..."
