She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Shi Lan entered the side hall, and indeed took a look around the hall, spotting Ye Xinyi conversing with a few young matrons at a glance; joyfully she said to Ye Xinyan, "Miss Ye, look, isn’t that the Fourth Grandmother of the Ji Family?"

Today, when they left home, in order for someone familiar with the capital to accompany Ye Xinyan, Madam Yin had specially arranged for Cui Bai to accompany her and attend to her needs together with An Ping’s household servants.

Although An Ping’s household had known that Miss Ye was on bad terms with the Second Great Aunt of the Duke’s Mansion, they had not deeply understood the situation. Hearing Shi Lan’s words, although they didn’t quite agree, they didn’t think too much of it. Being daughters of the Ye Family, even if they were on bad terms, it would only be a case of mutual dislike, not going so far as to cause a scene in public.

However, Cui Bai had a different view. She had always served by Madam Yin’s side, so she naturally knew more of the inner workings. Hearing Shi Lan speak, she couldn’t help but gaze at her intently.

Miss Shi, can you really be so nonchalant? Soon you will enter the royal family to become a Prince’s Consort, and with your temper, how will you handle dealings with the Imperial Family’s female relatives?

Shi Lan, who was focused on not triggering Miss Ye’s temper, had forgotten to carefully consider the Ye Family’s past incidents. It was only upon seeing the odd look on the face of the maid beside Miss Ye that she suddenly recalled that Miss Ye seemed to not get along with the Fourth Grandmother of the Ji Family.

Indeed, how could a concubine-born daughter who had held sway over the legitimate wife of the heir apparent for over twenty years get along with the main wife and her legitimate daughter?

But the words were already spoken and could not be taken back. Shi Lan smiled awkwardly in an attempt to remedy the situation, saying, "And there’s Sister Yin, Miss Ye, look, that’s Sister Yin, isn’t it?"

Ye Xinyan saw the fleeting embarrassment on Shi Lan’s face but didn’t mind much, saying, "Miss Shi, go busy yourself, do not mind me. I will find familiar people to speak with." It’s safest for her to find a spot to stay by herself; that way, she’s least likely to encounter trouble.

Seeing Shi Lan hesitate, she teased, "Could it be that Miss Shi is worried that I will actively seek out trouble?"
