Chapter 285 Nothing can go wrong.
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and smiled in response, and Yi Moxu then turned and left.
After Yi Moxu left, Granny Wei and Zixiao finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what... what's going on here?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and tidied her slightly messy hair: "Someone put a love potion on Doctor Xu. In the middle of the night, Doctor Xu didn't have any medicine, so he came to me."
"Xu Yixiu and I were only separated by this last veil, and Father knew about Xu Yixiu and me, so things just happened naturally."
Granny Wei gritted her teeth: "Then... then is Miss going to marry Doctor Xu?"
"Marriage? What kind of marriage? I am the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and he is just a retainer of the Ye family. If I marry him, I will have to move out of the Ye family. This is not a worthwhile deal."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Let's not talk about marriage now, let's just live like this for now."
"But……"
Granny Wei sighed, but this meant that her young mistress would truly have no chance of marrying into a slightly better family...
"What's there to be afraid of? A woman's future isn't solely determined by marrying into a good family. If I can gain my father's favor and establish myself in the Ye family, I will still have a bright future, wealth, power, and men—I'll have it all. Those who try to change their future by marrying someone may not be any better off than me."
After a long silence, Granny Wei nodded and said, "Indeed, Madam... married the wrong person."
Speaking of Su Wan, Ye Qing'an's smile gradually faded: "Yes, that's why it's said that if a woman marries the wrong person, the harm is far greater than if she doesn't marry at all."
A servant's voice came from outside the door. Granny Wei quickly went to the door and looked outside before reporting, "Miss, the servant has boiled water and brought it in."
"Send it in."
Ye Qing'an raised his eyes, his gaze deep and thoughtful. Once this matter gets out, the Ye family will probably be in for quite some time.
In addition, there is a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet being held in this mansion today.
That's interesting.
As Ye Qing'an pondered, a dark glint flashed in her eyes, which somewhat lessened the impact of what had happened the previous night on her.
"Really? You're sure you didn't find out wrong? Last night, Ye Qing'an really slept with that medical cultivator?" Ye Weilan suddenly raised her voice.
“It’s true, I’m absolutely certain. When I first heard the news, I was just as surprised as you were, Miss. I’ve confirmed it several times, and it’s true. Moreover, it seems that you and that physician don’t seem to be trying to avoid other people at all.”
"I heard that this morning, the servants from the young lady's courtyard went directly to Xu Yixiu's courtyard to get him a change of clothes, and then took them back to the young lady's courtyard."
"The clothes had only been taken in for less than a quarter of an hour when Doctor Xu came out of the young lady's courtyard wearing them. Miss, tell me, aren't the young lady and Doctor Xu being blatant, without ever trying to avoid being seen by others?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ye Weilan's eyes: "Shameless, huh... to have sex with a wild man so widely known, you're really something. And you blame me for scheming against her back then. With her wanton nature, even if I hadn't schemed against her, she probably wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation and would have been messing around with all sorts of people long ago."
"How interesting. This way, the servants in this mansion will have something to gossip about. And this time, she did it herself, so she can't blame anyone else."
"Today's family dinner is a good opportunity to bring up this matter and discuss it with everyone."
The maid raised her eyes and rolled them around: "Miss has suffered several losses at the hands of the eldest young lady before. Now is the crucial time for Miss to find a husband, so we can't let anything go wrong at this time."
Ye Weilan's expression shifted slightly: "Yes, I can't afford to make any more mistakes."
Ye Weilan thought for a moment, then stood up and took out a few gold leaves from a mahogany box on the dressing table, handing them to the maid: "I can't do it myself, but I can instruct others to do it. Go find someone and have her bring this up at the palace banquet tonight."
Ye Weilan curled the corners of her lips: "It would be best to find some of the concubines in the mansion, or the maids and servants around my younger brothers and sisters, and do it cleanly so that no one knows that I ordered it."
In this way, it would be impossible for Ye Qing'an to find fault with her, while she could enjoy watching Ye Qing'an's antics, which was quite nice.
Because most of the people in the household will be going out to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern festival in the evening, today's family banquet will begin around 3 PM.
Ye Qing'an had a really hectic night last night. After taking a shower and having breakfast this morning, she simply lay down on the bed to catch up on sleep.
What Ye Qing'an didn't know was that this situation appeared entirely differently to others.
Granny Wei and Zixiao stood guard outside the door. Granny Wei squinted, her expression showing some worry: "Miss must have been very tired last night. I don't know if she will be able to attend the family banquet this afternoon."
Zixiao blinked: "Why do you say that, Granny?"
“You’re still a virgin, you don’t understand. Although you’re not a virgin, it’s been several years since you’ve done that with a man. Under these circumstances, even serving an ordinary man would be a bit strenuous. What’s more, Xu Yixiu was drugged with aphrodisiac last night.”
Zixiao recalled the appearance and expression of Ye Qing'an that she had seen earlier: "But although I saw that Miss looked a little tired, she was in very good spirits, and her complexion was rosy with a peach-like glow."
"That's true." Granny Wei clicked her tongue lightly. "Men and women, one yin and one yang, need to be in good balance..."
"That's good too. Miss has raised the Eleventh Young Master all these years alone, without any male assistance, and has suffered a lot. I think this Doctor Xu, although..."
Zi Xiao recalled that face that one could never forget after seeing it once: "Although he looks a bit strange, he is good to Miss and Young Master Eleven. Moreover, his medical skills are good, his spiritual power is not weak, and he is quite protective of Miss. Miss must have her own thoughts and sense of propriety in these matters, so we don't need to worry about Miss."
"Too……"
No sooner had the two finished speaking than they saw someone walk in from outside.
"It seems to be one of Sixth Madam's people?"
Granny Wei nodded and went to greet her: "Isn't this Zhucui? Sixth Madam sent you here, is there something you need?"
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family banquet will begin soon. Sixth Madam asked me to deliver Mid-Autumn Festival clothes and jewelry to Miss..."
