Chapter 687 The Young Lady is Back?
Ye Qing'an chuckled lightly: "That's right, it's not like we don't know each other. Besides, I brought you here, Steward, because I sincerely wanted to discuss some terms with you."
"As Ye Qinghao's spirit beast, the steward should know that although Ye Qinghao is not dead yet, he only has one last breath left. This last breath makes no difference to me. Whether Ye Qinghao lives or dies has little impact on me."
"For me, all I want is revenge. But for the steward, whether Ye Qinghao is alive or dead is a completely different matter."
The butler pursed his lips, his gaze lingering on Ye Qing'an's face for a long time: "What does Miss want?"
"Does Miss know that when you returned to the manor, Master originally wanted to get rid of you? I was the one who kept an eye on you, and I was the one who told Master that you were safe..."
Ye Qing'an chuckled lightly: "Is that so? Then thank you very much, butler. After all, without you, I, Ye Qing'an, might not be where I am today."
"As for what I want the butler to do, that's really too simple."
Ye Qing'an licked her lips: "Two things. First, you've been by Ye Qinghao's side for so many years, you should know everything about Ye Qinghao, right? If that's the case, I want everything Ye Qinghao had in the past, and everything in the Ye family."
The butler's gaze darkened, but he didn't say anything more, only nodding in response: "I understand. And the second matter?"
Ye Qing'an's smile grew even more playful: "I saw a white fox in the palace before, by Consort Yun's side. That must have been you, Steward, right?"
"I had heard that after Consort Yun entered the palace, she rarely contacted Ye Qinghao. Now that I think about it, it shouldn't be that she rarely contacted him, but rather that you were acting as the messenger in between, right?"
"If I want to enter the palace, you need to make Consort Yun believe me, and then let me find an identity to settle down by Consort Yun's side."
The butler looked up and said, "The young lady is now Yi Moxu's wife. Why is she going to the palace when she's not in Anzhi City or by Yi Moxu's side?"
"This... is not something you, the housekeeper, should worry about."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Steward, don't forget that your life is still in my hands. If you do well in these two matters, I can help you break the spirit beast contract with Ye Qinghao."
“Impossible.” The butler said almost without hesitation: “The spirit beast contract cannot be broken.”
"Since I dare to say this, I naturally have a way. If I can't help you break the spirit beast contract with Ye Qinghao, I'll just hand Ye Qinghao over to you. You'll have control over Ye Qinghao's life and death. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me anymore; it's up to you to decide."
The butler was somewhat tempted, and after a long silence, he said, "Alright, I hope Miss will keep her word."
“Of course I keep my word. I’ve said it before, Ye Qinghao is of no use to me in his current state.”
The butler nodded: "When will Miss receive what she wants?"
"You can give me the things from the Ye family whenever you want. Whenever you give me the things, I will hand over Ye Qinghao to you. As for entering the palace, you can leave Anzhi City now and return to the capital. I will be waiting for you there."
The butler frowned: "Wait for me in the capital?"
Ye Qing'an's lips curled slightly: "Yes."
The butler turned to look at the guard standing at the door: "Young Miss, will you let me leave?"
"You can leave now, and I guarantee no one can stop you. After all, Ye Qinghao is still in my hands, and if anything unexpected happens, I can kill him at any time."
Ye Qing'an looked at the silent steward and curled her lips: "Does the steward think I can't do it? Does he think that as long as I'm trapped in the capital, or even killed in the capital, I can't do anything about it?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "The steward probably doesn't know, but I have an illusion..."
“I can disappear from this spot at any time, vanish without a trace, and return to my illusion. And my illusion allows me to go wherever I want to go.”
"For example, I could be here right now, and in the next moment, I could appear in the Ye Mansion in Wangjing City. Do you believe that, Steward?"
"Because of this, it won't be easy for the butler to kill me."
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly: "I'm in Wangjing City, waiting for the steward."
As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The guards outside the door remained unmoved, as if they were already used to it.
The butler's face was slightly somber. He paced back and forth in the room for a while, his brows furrowed.
There is no summoning circle; it is not a spirit beast summoning.
Ye Qing'an suddenly vanished from the spot...
The butler paced back and forth in the same spot, without even sensing any fluctuations in spiritual energy.
The absence of spiritual energy fluctuations indicates that it was not achieved through magic.
The butler took a deep breath, quickly transformed back into his original form, and darted towards the door.
The barrier had been removed, and the guards at the gate did not stop him. Soon, the white fox's figure disappeared from the Grand Tutor's mansion.
Ye Qing'an said he would wait for the steward at the Ye residence, and then went straight back to the Ye residence.
Moreover, she appeared suddenly in the back garden of the Ye residence. In the back garden, the Fourth Concubine was taking a walk with people when she saw Ye Qing'an's figure suddenly appear on the rockery in the back garden.
"Is it...Miss?"
Fourth Aunt's expression suddenly changed: "Why is the eldest young lady here?"
Fourth Aunt almost instinctively hid behind a pillar.
Soon, Ye Qing'an's figure disappeared, and only then did Fourth Madam emerge from behind the pillar, turning to ask the maid behind her, "Did you see her just now? Ye Qing'an? It was Ye Qing'an. Just now, it seemed like she appeared out of thin air..."
"This servant...this servant saw it too."
Ye Qing'an went straight back to her courtyard, and along the way, countless people saw her.
Although the news of Ye Qing'an marrying the rebel leader was spreading like wildfire throughout the city, neither Ye Qinghao nor Ye Zirui were in the mansion, so no one dared to say or do anything, and no one even dared to step forward to ask.
Ye Qing'an thus returned to the courtyard without any hindrance.
Granny Wei was sunbathing in the courtyard when she heard the sound and turned to look at Ye Qing'an.
Granny Wei suddenly stood up: "Young...Young Miss?"
This call startled everyone in the courtyard.
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly as she looked at Granny Wei: "What? You don't recognize me after not seeing me for a while?"
Granny Wei quickly came to her senses: "No...no, this servant wouldn't dare."
After a pause, she asked again, "Master went to the camp, Miss, why are you back?"
