Chapter 328 Concubine
Chapter 328 Concubine
Ye Qing'an pretended not to hear and looked up at the sky outside.
As the weather grew colder, it got dark earlier than usual. When she woke up earlier, the sun was already setting, and now, after all this commotion, it was already dark outside.
It was getting dark, which meant they needed to prepare to wash up and rest.
Normally she wouldn't worry about this much, but now, there's another Yi Moxu in the courtyard.
Unfortunately, her relationship with this Yi Moxu is rather complicated and difficult to explain.
People outside thought that she and Yi Moxu had already been rolling around in bed together, and that everything that should and shouldn't have happened had already happened.
But in reality, only she and Yi Moxu knew best that their relationship was far too innocent.
Ye Qing'an paused slightly, as if she wasn't so innocent after all.
Ye Qing'an sighed. After all, the two of them had hugged and kissed, and even had a child together.
But the child's birth was purely accidental; both of them were actually more out of their minds than the other at the time.
Given their current relationship, it's still somewhat awkward for them to live under the same roof, let alone actually share a room.
Ye Qing'an frowned. This whole thing was Yi Moxu's fault.
Thinking this, Ye Qing'an looked at Yi Moxu standing at the door. Why did they have to move here when they could have lived in their own courtyards?
Ye Qing'an turned her head and instructed Zi Xiao outside the door: "I remember there's another side room in our courtyard, isn't there?"
Zi Xiao nodded and replied with a smile, "We have a side room in the main courtyard, and not only that, there is another side courtyard, which is where the Second Young Master used to live. Now the Second Young Master has moved in with the Eleventh Young Master, so that place is vacant."
Ye Qing'an responded, then glanced at Yi Moxu, his intentions immediately apparent.
Yi Moxu kept her head down, playing with a hairpin that she had somehow gotten into. As if sensing Ye Qing'an's gaze, Yi Moxu looked up at her and then held up the hairpin: "After you left last night, I took Eleven shopping and bought this on the street. This coral hairpin is quite rare. It's bright red and has no impurities. I felt at first glance that it would suit you perfectly, so I bought it."
As Yi Moxu spoke, he walked towards Ye Qing'an and stopped in front of her: "Lower your head."
Almost instinctively, Ye Qing'an lowered her head as he instructed.
Yi Moxu placed the coral hairpin on Ye Qing'an's head. The coral hairpin was not particularly complicated in design, and the end of the hairpin still retained the most original shape of coral.
Ye Qing'an had just woken up from a nap, and her hair was simply combed without any hair ornaments. However, the coral hairpin seemed to make her face even more radiant.
Yi Moxu took two steps back, his gaze fixed on Ye Qing'an's head. After looking at it for a long time, he finally smiled and said, "Beautiful."
There was no bronze mirror in front of Ye Qing'an, so she didn't know what she looked like. She simply raised her hand and touched the coral hairpin, remaining silent.
Her intention in asking Zixiao if there were any side rooms in the courtyard was to have Zixiao tidy up the rooms so that Yimoxu could stay there.
But you're beholden to someone who takes your money...
Ye Qing'an bit her lip. To be fair, Yi Moxu had indeed been very good to her.
When we go shopping, I never forget to bring her something—clothes, jewelry, whatever I give her, no matter how big or small, exquisite or not, it's almost always something she likes.
And every time she encountered trouble... whether it was the powder that could change the results of the Spirit Trial Stone at the beginning, or the act that she played along with later, or the illusion of the Night Enchantress, or Gu Duo's sudden madness that night, he almost always arrived in time to save her.
Furthermore, it was only last night in that dreamlike cloud realm that she suddenly realized that she must have also fallen for Yi Moxu.
Ye Qing'an frowned, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.
But all I felt was attraction.
If you've fallen for someone, it's not really appropriate to suddenly move in together.
It felt as if two little people were fighting in Ye Qing'an's mind...
One person said, "You two already have a child, and people outside think you're having an affair, so what's wrong with living together?"
One person said that the child's experience was completely accidental. In fact, you experienced what happened that night in a state of mental illusion. Judging from the progress of your relationship, it hasn't reached that stage yet.
Before the two little figures in Ye Qing'an's mind could finish their battle, Yi Moxu spoke, but he addressed Zi Xiao instead.
"Go and tidy up the side room and move my things in."
Zi Xiao was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and only raised her eyes to look at Ye Qing'an.
Seeing that Ye Qing'an did not object, Zi Xiao responded, bowed, and withdrew.
Yi Moxu turned his eyes and saw Ye Qing'an looking at him with a surprised expression.
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes and straightened his sleeves: "I moved here to put Ye Qinghao's mind at ease, and to put my own mind at ease. And I asked to live in the side room to put your mind at ease."
"There are some things I'm in a hurry for, but there are others I'm not in such a hurry for; I can wait."
Yi Moxu's words sounded like a tongue twister, but to Ye Qing'an's surprise, she understood them.
Ye Qing'an bit her lip and remained silent.
Yi Moxu chuckled softly, "However, I wonder if Qing'an knows what a concubine means?"
Ye Qing'an was startled and looked up, somewhat bewildered.
What does "concubine" mean?
Almost as soon as the question popped into her mind, Ye Qing'an realized what was going on.
A concubine is a woman who is taken as a concubine.
Ye Qing'an opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
Yi Moxu could tell from Ye Qing'an's expression that she had figured it out.
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "When does Miss Ye plan to officially make me her official wife?"
Ye Qing'an glared at Yi Moxu: "You can be a concubine for now."
Yi Moxu was quite self-aware and waited for Zixiao to come and report that the side room had been tidied up before going to the side room on his own.
After Yi Moxu left, Ye Qing'an glanced at the side room before entering.
At night, Ye Qing'an was cultivating in the Dreamland of Clouds when Jiu Xiao, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared.
"Someone has come to your yard."
When Ye Qing'an opened her eyes, her first thought was of Yi Moxu.
But she quickly came to her senses; Yi Moxu was now living in her courtyard.
After a moment's thought, Ye Qing'an realized: "Are you looking for Yi Moxu?"
"Yes."
