Chapter 475 Cat Cries Mouse
Granny Wei was amused by Ye Qing'an's words. After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but nod and say, "That makes sense. It's a good opportunity to go to the mourning hall and see how undignified and tragic Liu Xueying's death was."
"If Liu Xueying's ghost were still here, she would rather you not wear mourning clothes and keep vigil than see you appear in the mourning hall."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, so I have to go and annoy her, and also annoy Ye Zirui. Didn't you say that he looked very unhappy after he found out I became the Supreme One? If he sees me, his expression will definitely be even worse."
When Wei Mama heard Ye Qing'an say this, she couldn't help but be happy: "Then this servant will help Miss change her clothes."
Ye Qing'an responded and changed into mourning clothes. Before leaving, she paused, walked to the dressing table, took out a pair of light pink earrings from the jewelry box, and put them on.
"Give me a proper makeover."
Granny Wei's eyes lit up immediately: "That's good. Even if you're wearing mourning clothes, you should still dress up exquisitely when you appear at the funeral hall."
After dressing properly, Ye Qing'an, along with Granny Wei and Zixiao, arrived at Liu Xueying's courtyard.
The courtyard, filled with white silk, white flowers, and white lanterns, looked particularly desolate.
The original main hall had been transformed into a mourning hall, with the door open and countless white candles lit. In the very center of the hall stood a coffin, with a memorial tablet and offerings placed in front of it. A pair of white candles were lit on either side, and in front of the offerings was an ever-burning lamp, its flame flickering.
Ye Zirui and Ye Weilan knelt together on the prayer mats in front of the altar, adding paper money to the brazier.
Ye Qing'an stepped into the mourning hall, took a stack of paper money from the servant at the door, walked to the other side of Ye Zirui, took a prayer mat and knelt down.
Ye Zirui and Ye Weilan both turned to look at Ye Qing'an. Ye Qing'an's expression was indifferent as she casually tossed a few pieces of paper money into the brazier: "Qing'an is late, please don't blame me, Mother."
Ye Weilan sneered: "Ocean tears."
Ye Qing'an's expression remained unchanged, and she replied casually, "I'm just crocodile tears. Then you, sister, must be truly happy. After all, before, in order to marry the Fifth Prince as soon as possible, you once thought of having Mother die and then marrying the Fifth Prince during Mother's hundred-day mourning period. Now that Mother is really dead, you should have gotten your wish, right?"
Ye Weilan's expression immediately changed: "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Ye Qing'an raised her eyes to look at the memorial tablet on the table, her brows and eyes cold. "I was just thinking that when I was in the manor, although Mother was not in good health, she was still fine. Why did something happen to her as soon as I left?"
Ye Qing'an finally turned to look at Ye Weilan: "Isn't my sister a little too impatient?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Weilan immediately understood the implication in Ye Qing'an's words: "You suspect that my mother's death is related to me?"
“I didn’t doubt anything. You said everything, little sister.”
Ye Weilan was a person who would explode at the slightest provocation, and she couldn't stand being slandered like this. She immediately stood up and said, "What do you mean by this? Ye Qing'an, don't think that just because you're a Supreme Being now, you can spew nonsense and slander me?"
Ye Qing'an's expression was indifferent, but there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Sister, this is in front of Mother's spirit tablet. I advise you not to cause trouble here. Although there are only the three of us here, plus two servants, if word gets out, it will still be bad for your reputation."
"After all, my sister is planning to get married within a hundred days, isn't she?"
His appearance, his expression, and the words he uttered were all blatant mockery of Ye Weilan.
Ye Weilan couldn't bear such humiliation and trembled with anger: "Ye Qing'an, are you looking for death?"
Ye Qing'an simply raised her hand to her lips, gesturing for silence: "Mother's spirit is still here guarding us, sister, you mustn't say anything out of line. Besides, the one lying in this coffin is your own mother. If you make a scene in front of her, won't she be unable to rest in peace even in the afterlife?"
Ye Weilan took a deep breath. If Ye Qing'an had argued or fought with her, she wouldn't have cared. But now, Ye Qing'an's tone and attitude towards her only made her angrier.
Ye Zirui remained silent, only adding paper money to the brazier with his head down, seemingly oblivious to everything happening around him.
"You bitch, are you looking for death?" Ye Weilan gritted her teeth and raised her hand to swing at Ye Qing'an.
Before her hand could even touch Ye Qing'an, it froze in mid-air.
Ye Qing'an turned her head and smiled: "Sister, the mourning hall is not a place for you to do your work. If you really have energy but nowhere to use it, why don't you go outside and run a few laps?"
With a flick of Ye Qing'an's wrist, Ye Weilan was suspended in mid-air as if completely out of control, before being suddenly thrown out of the mourning hall and falling to the ground in the courtyard.
"Ye Qing'an!" Ye Weilan was furious and suddenly shouted loudly.
Ye Qing'an's voice came from the mourning hall: "I'm sure you've heard that I accidentally obtained a Heavenly Spirit Pearl and upgraded to a Supreme after consuming it. Now that I am a Supreme, although I still can't properly control the spiritual power within my body, it's more than enough to deal with you."
Ye Weilan was so angry that she was trembling all over. She raised her hand and pointed at Ye Qing'an, her face pale, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
Ye Zirui finally spoke up: "Even if Wei Lan has made mistakes, even if she is a bit naughty, she is still our younger sister. Before Mother's spirit, I plead for Wei Lan and ask our elder sister to let her go."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Brother Zirui is indeed kind."
After laughing, he said to Ye Weilan, "Since your brother Zirui has pleaded for you, then you should calm down and think about whether the area in front of Mother's coffin is really the place for you to cause trouble. If you feel calm, then come in yourself. If you feel you can't calm down, then stay outside for a while longer."
Ye Weilan was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
Before, when Ye Qing'an's spiritual power was not strong, she had no way to deal with Ye Qing'an. Now Ye Qing'an is a Supreme Being.
The Supreme One...
Ye Weilan gritted her teeth. She regretted that she hadn't been ruthless enough to do it when Ye Qing'an was at the manor.
If she had acted back then, how could Ye Qing'an be so smug now?
