Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 25 Get away from me, don't touch me!

Although Consort Lan appeared to be gentle and kind, she was still in a high position and was not without temper. When she turned cold and questioned Ye Weilan in a stern voice, Ye Weilan couldn't help but tremble.

"I..." Ye Weilan looked panicked, and because she was so itchy, her expression became somewhat ferocious: "Your Highness, I have been rude. I am feeling unwell, so please allow me to take my leave first. I will come back to the palace to apologize to Your Highness when I feel a little better."

Consort Lan scoffed, "You've got plenty of excuses. If you want to leave, then leave. I didn't summon you anyway. Qing'an and Eleven, stay here and keep me company."

Ye Qing'an only glanced at Ye Weilan with feigned concern before responding in a low voice.

Ye Weilan almost gritted her teeth, but the unsettling itching sensation was becoming increasingly unbearable. She hurriedly bowed, took her leave, and hurriedly left Yihe Palace.

The pain and itching on her body were so intense that Ye Weilan tried to endure it, but she couldn't resist scratching her face as soon as she stepped out of Yihe Palace.

As the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, she occasionally entered the palace and was quite familiar with it. She only managed to concentrate for a moment to identify her location before quickly heading towards the palace gate.

But just as they turned the corner, they bumped into the same group of people.

Neither the newcomer nor Ye Weilan were prepared, and the collision was quite severe. Ye Weilan was knocked to the ground and before she could even see who she had bumped into, she heard a stern shout: "How dare you! Where did this blind scoundrel come from? How dare you offend Princess Jinghe and all the noble ladies!"

Princess Jinghe and the noble ladies?

Ye Weilan's heart jumped into her throat.

If there's anyone she least wants to see in her current state, it's probably the princesses and young ladies of this city.

She usually presents a gentle and understanding demeanor in public, and given her status as a member of the Ye family, she has quite a few friends among the ladies of the city. Even Princess Jinghe has always treated her with great courtesy, addressing her as a sister.

But she also knew very well that many of these young ladies were jealous, and countless people would be all smiles and friendly to her on the surface, but secretly slander her and make her out to be worthless.

If they were to see me like this, the news would probably spread throughout the city in less than half a day, and who knows how nasty the words would be.

But fate had other plans. Before Ye Weilan could come up with a feasible solution, someone recognized her: "Isn't this Miss Weilan from the Ye family?"

"Miss Weilan, why aren't you going to the palace with us today? Why aren't you even accompanied by any palace servants?"

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth, her nails almost digging into her palms. They hadn't yet realized something was wrong and didn't dare to do anything yet; they just had to endure it a little longer...

Ye Weilan straightened her back after thinking for a moment and said, "Greetings to Princess Jinghe."

"When did Sister Weilan enter the palace?"

Ye Weilan lowered her eyes: "I just entered the palace not long ago. It was Consort Lan who summoned my elder sister. Father was worried that my elder sister had forgotten the rules and offended the Consort since she had been away from Wangjing for a long time, so he sent me to accompany her. But something came up suddenly, so I had to take my leave in a hurry."

There are never any secrets in the Wangjing aristocratic circles. Hearing Ye Weilan say this, someone couldn't help but ask, "The sister you're talking about, wouldn't she be the one who caused a scene at the Ye residence yesterday with her child, saying you wanted to kill her? What was her name again?"

"Ye Qing'an."

"Ah, yes, Ye Qing'an. We were just talking about this, saying that we've known you for so long, you're definitely not such a ruthless person. But why did the Imperial Concubine summon your sister?"

Ye Weilan gritted her teeth. She knew that these people were all smiles and called each other sisters on the surface, but if anything happened to her, they would gossip about her more than anyone else.

"Rumors are never quite true. My relationship with my sister is alright, otherwise I wouldn't have accompanied her to the palace today. As for why the Imperial Concubine summoned me..."

"This is a long story, and I don't know much about it. I only know that my sister saved Consort Lan by chance. Because of this, Consort Lan specially sent dozens of boxes of gifts to our residence yesterday, and she also personally summoned her today. My sister is currently in Yihe Palace talking with Consort Lan."

Hearing that Qing'an had saved Consort Lan that night and was now favored by Consort Lan, the women dared not spread any more rumors.

Ye Weilan's patience had almost reached its limit, and her body was trembling slightly. She quickly said, "There is an urgent matter in the manor, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

"Go ahead." Princess Jinghe, who had been listening to their conversation without saying a word, smiled and said, "When the opportunity arises, I will have someone send an invitation to the Ye residence to invite you on an outing."

"Yes."

Ye Weilan stood up, about to leave, when someone with sharp eyes noticed something: "Wait, Sister Weilan, what happened to your face? Why are there so many red marks? And on your neck too?"

Ye Weilan trembled and hurriedly said, "It's nothing."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But someone was quicker, grabbing her sleeve: "This is nothing? Why are there so many marks on your face and neck? Let me see what happened."

Before Ye Weilan could react, the person who had grabbed her had already raised their hand and touched her face.

Ye Weilan was feeling unwell all over, and when she was touched like that, her body couldn't help but tremble violently. The feeling that it was as if a million ants were crawling all over her bones suddenly became incredibly clear, so clear that she wished she could find a wall and rub against it.

Everyone immediately saw Ye Weilan's face, and noticed the deep and shallow red marks crisscrossing her face and neck, which looked extremely horrifying.

Princess Jinghe's expression also changed: "Sister Weilan, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Didn't you just come from Yihe Palace? Could it be..."

Ye Weilan quickly said, "No, it's not the Imperial Concubine."

Ye Weilan felt like she was being scratched by a cat, almost unable to hold back, but she still forced a smile and said, "I accidentally ate some things I shouldn't have today, and I'm having an allergic reaction."

"I apologize for my somewhat unruly behavior, which may have frightened the princess and my sisters. I will now return to my quarters."

"Is she having an allergic reaction?" Everyone seemed to have rarely seen Ye Weilan like this. They were curious on the surface, but some thoughts couldn't help but arise in their hearts.

The woman who had pulled her back touched her face again: "Shouldn't an allergic reaction cause a rash? Could it be some other illness? Should we ask the princess to summon the imperial physician to take a look?"

Princess Jinghe was about to speak, but Ye Weilan couldn't control herself after being touched by the woman. She raised her hand and scratched her face, but the itching that made her whole body numb still couldn't be relieved. Ye Weilan scratched herself several more times, and her face turned ugly: "Go away, don't touch me!"
