Chapter 210 Grandfather
"What is this?" Ye Feiran looked down at the bottle in her hand, her face full of confusion.
"Pills," Ye Qing'an said casually, "Grade 4 spiritual pills. Take them before you start your cultivation every day; they will help you."
"Four...fourth-grade spirit pills?" Ye Feiran's eyes widened. "So many? Where did you get so much silver to buy spirit pills?"
"Besides, these are fourth-grade spirit pills, are you giving me so many?"
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow, recalling what Su Yusheng had said before: fourth-grade spirit pills are indeed very precious to ordinary people.
Ye Qing'an glanced at Ye Feiran and coughed lightly: "I think cultivation is a very important thing, so I sold some jewelry and the things that Consort Lan had given me before, and bought some elixirs."
"You were deceived and led astray before, which has resulted in a weak foundation and makes cultivation quite difficult. If you had a spiritual pill to help you, it would be much better."
"Take these elixirs for now, and I'll find a way to get you some more."
Ye Feiran lowered his head and looked at the elixir in his hand, remaining silent for a long time before saying, "I understand. I will cultivate diligently."
"Alright, then focus on your cultivation." Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and smiled. "However, compared to focusing on cultivation, I think it's more important to learn how to get along with others and be a good person."
Ye Feiran waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to be lectured: "I'm leaving now."
After Ye Feiran left, Ye Qing'an closed the window again and lay back on the couch for a nap.
Just as she got up, had breakfast, and was about to go to the academy, a servant rushed over and said, "Miss, your maternal grandfather has arrived. He's in the outer courtyard's flower hall. He asked me to invite you over to entertain him."
Ye Qing'an raised his eyebrows. "Grandfather?"
Su Yusheng?
Didn't Ye Qinghao want her to have nothing to do with Su Yusheng? Why would he specifically send someone to ask her to entertain him on his behalf?
Although Ye Qing'an felt a little strange, she got up and asked the maid to change her clothes and went to the flower hall in the front courtyard.
Upon entering the front courtyard flower hall, Ye Qing'an saw a man she did not recognize. The man was about sixty years old, with white hair and beard, and his body was somewhat hunched. However, his eyes appeared extremely mean.
Didn't they say Su Yusheng was coming?
Who is this?
The thought flashed through Ye Qing'an's mind, but she quickly came back to her senses.
When the servant reported, he said "maternal grandfather," but "maternal grandfather" might not necessarily be Su Yusheng; it could also be... Liu Xueying's father.
Ye Qing'an thought for a moment. It seemed that Jiu Xiao or someone else had mentioned it to her before. Liu Xueying's father was named Liu Yongming, I think.
Ye Qing'an tentatively called out, "Master Liu?"
Liu Yongming frowned: "Miss Ye? According to seniority, Miss Ye should call me maternal grandfather, right? Why is she here as Miss Ye? Where is Prime Minister Ye?"
"Father is not at home."
Ye Qing'an also wanted to know what Ye Qinghao had summoned her for.
Liu Yongming frowned even more: "Even if Prime Minister Ye is not in the mansion, shouldn't Madam Ye at least come out to greet the guests?"
Ye Qing'an smiled gently, with appropriate politeness: "My mother has been feeling unwell lately and is not suitable to receive guests, so my father asked me to come. I wonder if Master Liu has come for some important matter? If Master Liu has something to say, you can just tell me."
"Tell you? You think you can make decisions about the Ye family mansion?" Liu Yongming sneered. "Moreover, I heard that after Miss Ye returned to the mansion, she disliked her stepmother and made things difficult for her at every turn, which caused her stepmother to fall ill?"
Was he questioning her? Ye Qing'an seemed to have figured something out; was Liu Yongming here to support his daughter?
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled: "Where did you hear this gossip, Master Liu? You can't just say things like that. After all, the current emperor values family management the most and advocates that harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things. If the emperor finds out about what you've said, Master Liu, and then questions Father, our entire Ye family will probably be implicated."
Although Ye Qing'an wore a smile, his eyes were incredibly sharp: "Or is it that Master Liu has come today to interrogate someone? Then I wonder who Master Liu wants to interrogate, me or my father?"
"What evidence does Mr. Liu have that I've made things difficult for my mother at every turn?"
"Evidence? My daughter is your stepmother, and what I say is evidence."
Ye Qing'an couldn't help but click her tongue; this unreasonable and sophistry...
No wonder Ye Qinghao asked her to deal with it.
Is this a test Ye Qinghao is giving her?
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled: "Master Liu can try to see if anyone will accept your evidence. However, Master Liu doesn't have any evidence that I mistreated my stepmother. But I do have evidence that Master Liu's daughter mistreated his legitimate daughter."
Ye Qing'an dismissed the servants and released a sound-stealing bubble, containing a portion of the conversation she had overheard at the temple that day...
When Liu Xueying's voice rang out, Liu Yongming's expression changed.
After waiting for Liu Xueying to say a few words, Ye Qing'an put away the bubbles: "I don't know why Master Liu came here today, but if Master Liu wants to cause trouble here, then we'll have to see if Master Liu has the ability to do so."
"After all, this is the Ye family mansion, and I am the legitimate daughter of the Ye family. Just because someone is the maternal grandfather of the Ye family doesn't mean they can just walk into the Ye family mansion with a sword."
Ye Qing'an laughed: "Master Liu has his current status and can live such a life of luxury because of the Ye family. Once you are no longer the maternal grandfather of the Ye family, you are nothing."
"And if you want to stop being the maternal grandfather of the Ye family, it's simple. Just make public what I just told you. The Ye family cannot tolerate a stepmother who mistreats the legitimate daughter."
Liu Yongming gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. He never imagined that one day he would be threatened by a little girl of such a young age.
Before Liu Yongming became the maternal grandfather of the Ye family, he had been struggling at the bottom of society. He was extremely skilled at being a rogue and a scoundrel. Seeing this, he immediately started shouting, "No matter what, you should call me maternal grandfather. You don't respect your elders and even threaten me. How can you be a proper lady?"
"Oh dear, so this is what the eldest daughter of the Ye family is like?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and smiled: "Is this a competition with me to see who is more shameless? If I were you, I would never cause a scene at the Ye residence; I would cause a scene in the street. Master Liu, you probably haven't heard about the time I knelt at the Ye residence gate with Eleven and cried and made a scene, have you?"
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she collapsed to the ground, her face filled with terror: "Help! Help! Someone's hitting me!"
