Chapter 389: I Can Only Rely on Myself
Things unfolded exactly as Ye Qing'an had predicted, including the rumors circulating outside.
After hearing the report, Ye Qing'an found it somewhat boring, so she dismissed the servants and entered the Cloud Dreamland on her own. She still remembered that when she left, Yi Moxu was still in the Cloud Dreamland.
However, when Ye Qing'an entered the Cloud Dreamland again, Yi Moxu was nowhere to be found.
Ye Qing'an strolled around the Dreamland of Clouds before lowering her eyes and laughing out loud.
She left so long ago that Yi Moxu naturally left when he couldn't wait for her any longer.
And since it's daytime now, Yi Moxu must be busy with something too.
Ye Qing'an stood there for a while before returning to the rock by the lake to begin meditating and cultivating...
Meanwhile, in Liu Xueying's side courtyard, a cracking sound suddenly rang out, followed by an angry shout: "That little bitch Ye Qing'an! When I find the chance, I will definitely tear her to pieces to atone for my hatred!"
The maidservant was terrified and hurriedly said, "Miss!"
Seeing Ye Weilan looking at her with bloodshot eyes, the maid trembled all over. She opened her mouth, but after a long while, she said, "Miss, you must not fall into the eldest young lady's trap. You know that what happened just now was all the eldest young lady's doing. She deliberately provoked you."
"You knew all that, yet you still fell for her scheme. Now the servants in the manor are all saying that the Second Miss is domineering and jealous. If these words are only spread among the servants, it's fine, but if they get out, it will be detrimental to the Miss's reputation."
Ye Weilan took a deep breath and sneered, "Reputation? What reputation do I still need now?"
Ye Weilan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with utter madness: "I'm not surprised at all that Ye Qing'an would scheme against me; we've never gotten along. I just didn't expect..."
A tear suddenly slid down Ye Weilan's cheek.
She seemed surprised that she would suddenly burst into tears. She hurriedly looked up at the beam above her head, her voice choked with emotion: "I just didn't expect that the Fifth Prince would actually... the Fifth Prince would actually stand on her side. He had already come to the Ye residence, but he only said he wanted to see Ye Qing'an. He never thought that his fiancée, whom the Emperor had bestowed upon him, was also in the Ye residence."
“He clearly bought the hairpin, but he didn’t give it to me. Instead, he gave it to Ye Qing’an.”
"It would have been fine if he had just wanted to give Ye Qing'an a gift, but even if he had just bought me something casually to appease me, I would have felt better. But he wouldn't even have been willing to appease me. He just said that he couldn't find anything suitable for me and that was it."
Ye Weilan gritted her teeth: "What is Ye Qing'an? A shameless woman who has been defiled and pregnant before marriage, a good-for-nothing who can't do anything, a country bumpkin who has been raising her child on the estate for four or five years!"
"So what if she has a slightly prettier face? So what if she's served men in bed? What do I lack compared to her?"
Ye Weilan suddenly picked up the glass lamp on the table and slammed it down on Qiang.
The maid was startled and quickly covered her ears, jumping two steps to the side...
"Bitch! Bitch!" Ye Weilan took a deep breath: "Not only Ye Qing'an, but also the Fifth Prince!"
"What is the Fifth Prince? He's a lowly son born to a palace maid. He only got the title of prince because his father is the Emperor. What kind of prince is he? He has no power, no influence, and is not valued by the Emperor. For me, the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, to be willing to marry him is already him being too good for himself!"
“If it weren’t for the Ye family, if it weren’t for my father and elder brother’s great cause, why would I have wronged myself like this? But what about him? Ha… He would rather like and flatter that little bitch than come to see me.”
"Sure enough, the base are base, and base people are attracted to each other."
The maid was terrified and hurriedly tried to dissuade her, saying, "Miss!"
“Miss, no matter how bad the Fifth Prince’s background is, he is still a prince, the son of the Emperor, and a member of the royal family. You must not say such things again. It’s fine for me to hear it, but if others hear it, it would be a serious crime.”
Ye Weilan scoffed, gritting her teeth as she removed all the hairpins and ornaments from her head and threw them on the ground: "When I heard he was coming, I was overjoyed, thinking he was here to rescue me. I dressed up carefully to see him, but he didn't even give me a second glance. Why?"
As Ye Weilan called out, she kicked off her shoes, let her hair down, and lay down on the bed.
Even though he lay down, his chest was still heaving violently, and his chest felt very constricted.
She didn't like the Fifth Prince either, but now that the Emperor had bestowed a marriage upon her, everyone in the world knew that she was the future Fifth Prince's consort.
Although this identity wasn't exactly a great one for her, it was still a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, which was prestigious enough to make her feel good about it, so she did care about it a bit.
Therefore, she was immediately angered by the Fifth Prince's actions.
Even worse, if the other party wasn't Ye Qing'an...
It wasn't Ye Qing'an, whom she had constantly compared herself to since childhood and whom she had once trampled underfoot, but any other woman; she wouldn't have been this angry.
But it was Ye Qing'an.
Ironically, the Fifth Prince treated her that way because of her.
How could she possibly swallow this insult?
Ye Weilan clenched her teeth, her chest heaving violently; she couldn't swallow this insult.
But now, because she is about to join the Fifth Prince's residence, she has already turned against Liu Xueying, completely breaking Liu Xueying's heart. Liu Xueying will definitely never help her again.
Now, she can only rely on herself.
Ye Weilan's fingers trembled slightly. She had to rely on herself...
What does she have?
What should she do to get revenge on the Fifth Prince and on Ye Qing'an?
Ye Weilan pondered this question over and over in her mind. After a while, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her. Ye Weilan abruptly opened her eyes, a fierce glint in them.
She had an idea.
Now... all she has left is this body.
She had always cared deeply about this body since she was a child, and had taken great care of it.
Unlike Ye Qing'an, who lost her innocence at a young age.
Moreover... her reputation still exists outside. In the eyes of those outsiders, she is still the glamorous legitimate daughter of the Ye family, the second young lady of the Ye family.
The men who had followed and chased after her before were as numerous as fish crossing a river.
Among those men, there were quite a few whose status and position were higher than that of the Fifth Prince...
She refused to believe that she couldn't find a suitable backer.
Ye Qing'an, you just wait!
