Chapter 380 It’s all because of you
"Alright." Consort Lan stood up. "Now that Mo Xu is not here, you can come to me for anything."
Consort Lan couldn't help but laugh as she spoke: "He even made a special trip here before, asking me to take good care of you while he was away from Wangjing, because he was afraid you would suffer any grievances while you were alone in the Ye residence."
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an turned her head, her eyes full of surprise.
Seeing Ye Qing'an's appearance, Consort Lan's smile deepened: "In fact, not to mention you, even I am quite surprised."
Consort Lan's eyes held a hint of nostalgia: "Before Mo Xu's accident, he was rather aloof. Even though I was his mother, he rarely chatted with me. After he grew up, he never made any demands on me."
Consort Lan's eyes held a hint of disappointment. After a long while, she smiled again: "After the incident, I was first placed under house arrest. Later, because of that matter, I felt a bit... disgusted with the Emperor. So, under the guise of worshipping Buddha, I distanced myself from the palace intrigue and secretly sent people to inquire about Mo Xu's whereabouts."
"But the Emperor is very wary of me. I have tried every possible way, but I have almost no way to contact Mo Xu."
"But it was at the beginning of this year that he came to me himself."
Consort Lan's eyelashes were slightly damp: "I have no idea what he has been through in Qian'an all these years, but when I saw his eyes had changed like that, his whole appearance had changed, and his temperament had become more and more gloomy, I knew that he must have suffered a lot all these years."
Ye Qing'an's eyelashes trembled slightly. Although she had never met Yi Moxu six or seven years ago, she had heard many rumors about him.
Even when she learned that Xu Mo was Yi Moxu, she was still greatly surprised.
In addition, she had personally witnessed what Yi Moxu looked like when his fiery eyes flared up.
For the past six years, he had to endure that kind of pain every fifteenth of the month.
This does not include the pain of having my tendons and bones dislocated and my meridians reversed during my previous practice of the Fire Separation Technique.
"But ever since he entered the Ye family, I've gradually felt that he's become more human."
“I had been wondering why this was happening, and then I realized that all these changes in him were because of you.”
because of her?
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows, probably because she hadn't known Yi Moxu for very long, but they had spent a lot of time together, so she didn't have much of a feeling for him.
However, Yi Moxu became more talkative in front of her.
He'll occasionally crack a joke.
Does this count as a change?
Consort Lan laughed: "This change is what I want to see. He used to be too lonely."
"So you must take good care of yourself too." Consort Lan laughed. "By the way, next time you come to the palace, you can bring Eleven with you. I miss him a little."
"it is good."
Ye Qing'an agreed. After all, Consort Lan treated Eleven very well, and she could see that Consort Lan genuinely liked Eleven.
Furthermore, since Eleven is indeed Consort Lan's true grandson, it is only natural for Consort Lan to want to see Eleven.
Consort Lan waved her hand: "Go, go. Because of what happened to your brother, the Emperor has probably developed some feelings for your father. This time, the Emperor sending Prime Minister Ye to deal with the Taotie matter is probably not a good thing. However, I am not worried about him, but you must be careful in the Ye residence."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an agreed to everything before leaving the palace.
Sure enough, there was a carriage from the Ye family waiting at the palace gate. Ye Qing'an had seen the servants standing beside the carriage a few times before; they were the steward's men.
Ye Qing'an walked over, and the servant hurriedly greeted her, saying, "Young Miss."
"Go back."
Ye Qing'an stepped onto the carriage, and the carriage began to move.
The sun was already high in the sky, and there were many pedestrians on the street outside. Ye Qing'an leaned against the side of the carriage, pondering what her next move should be.
Just then, they suddenly heard people outside gossiping: "Have you heard? Yesterday, Madam Gu went missing. I heard she was switched at birth in the middle of the market. Someone impersonated Madam Gu and went back to the Gu residence, and then stole the house last night."
"I've heard about it. It's truly a strange thing. There are so many people in the Gu family, and their mistress was switched with someone else, yet no one noticed?"
"I wonder what treasure they stole. After all, the Gu family is a century-old family, and there must be many good things in the house."
"I heard that this morning, people from the Gu family were posting large reward notices everywhere and also published missing person notices on the black market at high prices. They want to find their wife and the person who impersonated Madam Gu and stole from their household yesterday."
"What's the use of offering a huge reward? Think about it, someone who dares to do this and succeeds must be no ordinary person."
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an listened intently for a while. As the carriage drove further and further away, the sounds behind it gradually faded and disappeared. Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. A hefty reward? To find her?
interesting.
It took about half an hour for the carriage to arrive at the gate of the Ye residence.
The gates of the Ye residence were tightly shut. Ye Qing alighted from his carriage, and a servant knocked on the door before it opened.
The gatekeeper looked around and, seeing that it was Ye Qing'an, quickly stepped aside and welcomed her inside.
Upon entering the mansion, Ye Qing'an did not immediately return to her own courtyard, but instead went to Liu Xueying's place first.
Although Liu Xueying seemed to have regained her senses, she appeared dazed and confused. She seemed not to hear the servants' greetings and just sat on the chaise longue, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Ye Qing'an glanced at Li Mama, who was serving her, and sat down next to Liu Xueying: "Mother, I've come to see you."
Liu Xueying, however, showed no reaction whatsoever.
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Granny Li: "Granny, I want to talk to Mother for a while. You may leave now."
Granny Li was still somewhat wary of Ye Qing'an, her gaze shifting back and forth between Ye Qing'an and Liu Xueying several times, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Seeing this, Ye Qing'an laughed: "Does Granny think I would harm Mother? You should know that when Mother was poisoned, I was the one who went to great lengths to beg Consort Lan to bring in the imperial physicians to treat Mother, and also sent Physician Xu to treat Mother."
"The one who felt that her mother was completely useless and a burden, and who wanted to kill her mother, was her younger sister, Wei Lan."
"My mother is already like this, what else can I do for her?"
