Chapter 742 - 740
After the Emperor made such a fuss, the court officials had a hint of what was going on. Perhaps it was because Ye Xinyan was currently working on the railway project that the Emperor could not tolerate other ladies gossiping about her. Without solid proof, it seemed that Ye Xinyan had already risen above most young ladies of the capital. Even the princess consort would probably find it difficult to do anything to her.
It seemed that upon returning home, one really had to discipline their own children properly. Ye Xinyan was not someone they could afford to offend.
In their opinion, the Emperor reminding Duke An on the Imperial Court to let Ye Xinyan do her job well was shocking enough, but they didn’t expect there to be a follow-up.
After the court session ended, a few imperial eunuchs left the palace. It was said that they were heading to Duke An’s Mansion, and their purpose was to reprimand Miss Ye.
Even a reprimand was not something just anyone could receive. The expressions of the court officials became even more complex.
.......
Madam Yin wholeheartedly wanted her daughter to integrate into the circle of the capital’s noble ladies, and she had even called her back early. But she never expected this outcome.
Madam Yin was both furious and heartbroken. What was wrong with her own child that she was treated this way by others? Ah Yan and Yuanfan were absolutely right. Even if Ah Yan had been reckless in the past, how much harm could those actions have caused to a young lady?
But what about them? Sometimes, human tongues are the sharpest weapons that can kill, and the careless words they spoke could be lethal once passed around by others.
It was only because her daughter and future son-in-law were formidable enough that they forced those ladies’ patriarchs to promise to keep all those in the know silent. Even so, Madam Yin couldn’t guarantee that those malicious slanders wouldn’t spread out.
