Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On this particular evening, Ye Wanwan’s mind was in disarray, unsure of what steps to take.

For now, she could use her recovery as an excuse to avoid meeting Murong Xingrui. However, such an excuse wouldn’t hold forever. Besides, Murong Xingrui might eventually come to visit, and then they would have to face each other.

The mere thought of this troubled Ye Wanwan deeply.

Silence hung heavy in the air.

Neither Ye Yikun nor Ye Wanwan dared to break the silence, each lost in their own turmoil.

Up to this point, Ye Wanwan remained uncertain about her grandfather’s thoughts and feared he might have given up on her. She worried that her actions had tarnished the Ye family’s reputation, jeopardizing her standing within it.

Finally breaking the silence, Ye Yikun fixed his gaze upon Ye Wanwan and spoke with indifference, “Ye Wanwan, you’ve truly disappointed me this time. Ye Leng’an posed no real threat to you, yet you foolishly sought to implicate her. In doing so, you not only humiliated yourself but also brought disgrace upon the entire Ye family. Now, I can’t help but question whether it was a mistake to help you when you lost your cultivation.”

His words left Ye Wanwan feeling weak in the knees. She knelt before him, her voice trembling with fear. “Grandfather, I was wrong. Please give me another chance!”

As she spoke, Ye Wanwan’s voice quivered with apprehension. She understood that her grandfather’s judgment weighed heavily upon her, far more than that of her parents.

While her parents’ affection provided some solace, her grandfather’s disapproval struck at the core of her identity within the Ye family. Crossing his threshold of tolerance had placed her in peril of expulsion, a fate she dreaded.

The prospect of leaving the Ye family left her feeling utterly bereft. Those she once looked down upon would become unattainable, and the loss of her cultivation hung over her like a specter.

Observing Ye Wanwan’s supplication, Ye Yikun remained unmoved. His eyes betrayed no emotion as he granted her a reprieve. “Ye Wanwan, I’ll give you one more chance. I won’t intervene with the Murong family. You must resolve it on your own. If you lose this marriage, there will be no reason for you to remain in the Ye family. Furthermore, if such an incident occurs again, you’ll be cast out of the Ye family. Additionally, you must return everything the Ye family has bestowed upon you.”

With a definitive response at last, Ye Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. Yet, the coldness in her grandfather’s gaze sent a shiver down her spine.

Unable to comprehend how she mustered the strength to leave her grandfather’s courtyard, Ye Wanwan soon found herself unconscious upon departure.

When she awoke, she was back in her own courtyard.

Her mother, Lian Mengzhu, sat beside her bed, her expression etched with concern.

Seeing Ye Wanwan awake, Lian Mengzhu’s relief was palpable. Yet, her tone remained apprehensive. “Wanwan, how are you feeling now?”

In truth, Lian Mengzhu wanted to ask about the events in her father’s courtyard and why Ye Wanwan fainted upon leaving. However, she refrained from asking, fearing it might agitate her daughter further and hinder her recovery.

Struggling to sit up, Ye Wanwan leaned against the headboard, her complexion pallid. Despite her delicate appearance, she lacked vitality.

“I’m fine, Mother. You needn’t worry,” she reassured, her disappointment evident as she glanced around.

She hadn’t expected her father to neglect her in her time of need. Was it because of the banquet incident that he now distanced himself from her?

Sensing Ye Wanwan’s thoughts, Lian Mengzhu reassured her, “Your father was present when you fainted earlier. He had to attend to an urgent matter, which is why he left. He still cares for you.”

Upon hearing her mother’s comforting words, Ye Wanwan’s spirits lifted slightly.

Regardless of their veracity, her mother’s willingness to console her affirmed her place in her heart.

Gently stroking Ye Wanwan’s hair, Lian Mengzhu advised, “Wanwan, don’t dwell on it. Focus on recuperating. Your health is paramount. As for other matters, we’ll address them in due course.”

Ye Wanwan nodded obediently, refraining from further comment.

To ensure Ye Wanwan’s rest, Lian Mengzhu departed after a brief exchange. Yet, as soon as the door closed, her smile vanished, replaced by a furrowed brow.

Actually, those words she just said were indeed meant to appease Ye Wanwan.

Because of what happened at the banquet, her husband still harbored some resentment. Although he still cared deeply for Wanwan in private, he didn’t come over.

She also had complicated feelings.

However, seeing Ye Wanwan’s pale, bloodless face, and considering all the ups and downs over the years, she couldn’t bring herself to be stern. After all, Wanwan was the child she had raised.

She did want to inquire about what happened at the banquet, but she also worried it might affect Ye Wanwan’s recovery, so she held back.

With these thoughts in mind, Lian Mengzhu couldn’t help but sigh deeply and shake her head in resignation.

Afterward, she went to find Ye Hongxuan. There were some matters she needed to discuss with her husband.
