Ye Yueying’s display at the Water Pavilion left the ladies in the garden astonished, gathering in small groups and occasionally glancing at Ye Yueying, who sat alone in the pavilion.
The previously ignored Weng sisters suddenly found themselves approached by other young ladies, mostly inquiring about Ye Yueying.
The Weng sisters seized this opportunity to converse with the other ladies, answering every question, though with a tone that subtly disparaged Ye Yueying.
All the ladies present hailed from prominent families, and after some probing, they quickly pieced together the situation with Ye Yueying and the Weng family.
The Weng family belonged to a fifth-rank official while the Yan Family was quite prominent; unfortunately, only Ye Yueying remained from the Ye Family. Learning this, most of the ladies couldn’t help but look down upon them.
Especially since the Weng sisters openly spoke ill of their own cousin, an act deemed utterly foolish, only for everyone to further look down on the Weng family.
Girls from strict family backgrounds distanced themselves early from the Weng sisters, leaving only those who enjoyed drama around them.
"Miss Ye is impressive, but unfortunately, she might have offended people without realizing it."
"Absolutely. The person taught a lesson by Miss Ye is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War. Not to mention, among those thrown to the ground by her was the Seventh Lady of the Yan Family, who is the Princess’s cousin."
"Truly, a brave daughter of a military family, daring to harm others even at the Princess Residence."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Weng sisters changed. Instead of defending Ye Yueying, they resented her for bringing trouble to the Weng family.
The lady who had been speaking glanced at the Weng sisters’ unpleasant expressions, chuckled softly, and said sympathetically, "The incident will surely be reported to the Princess, and I’m afraid the two of you might be implicated..."
The Elder Miss Weng and Second Miss Weng felt a sudden tightness in their hearts: "Implicated how?"
The lady laughed again: "Well, perhaps you might be asked to leave the Princess Residence along with Miss Ye." After speaking, she looked at the Weng sisters with pitying eyes.
"Though Princess Chun’an rarely stays in Beijing, those expelled by her will likely not be welcomed elsewhere."
Hearing this, Second Miss Weng couldn’t hold back anymore and glared angrily at Ye Yueying in the pavilion: "Ye Yueying always acts without regard for others, doing as she pleases. She truly is a jinx."
