TL: there was a mistranslation, it was not a mid-year celebration by the palace. It was New Years.
"This subordinate has always been concerned about the safety of Master, searching for you day and night, not knowing where Master had gone..."
Jun Ao Han interrupted her, "There is no need to mention about this matter. Continue to look for her, this is a top priority for the Star Tower!"
"Certainly!"
Ao Xue gave a deep bow.
"This subordinate will certainly do her best!"
She decided to completely conceal the news that she had just heard.
Ye Qingli!
Within Ao Xue's mind, that name echoed repeatedly.
I will never let you see Master!
I must not let Master know about this evil witch!
I will never allow it!
Forever and always!
There was a murderous glint in her eyes.
Ao Xue must best make Ye Qingli disappear from this world forever...
......
When Ye Qingli returned to the Cloud Residency, she looked around with vigilance and found that no one was trailing her, so she just went to bed.
At the same time, the Pearl Residency was brightly lit.
Madam Guo and Ye Yunxiao sat opposite each other. Madam Guo then said, "That little bitch, what is she up to these past few days?"
The maid behind her replied, "The Eldest Young Miss has not come out these past few days, it seems like she was really grounded."
Pui!
Madam Guo interrupted her sentence.
"Slap your mouth!"
The maid who was kneeling, confused. A few elder maids grabbed her and slammed her face like a pig.
Madam Guo then said with disgust, "She is the useless good-for-nothing Eldest Young Miss! She is something that is too inferior to be shown to the public!"
Another then said while trembling in fear, "Certainly, Madam! That... bitch, she never came out!"
Madam Guo frowned, "Xiao'er, what kind of trick did you say she was playing? Looking at Jin'er not coming out everyday, it breaks my heart. You better hurry to think of a way to make her come out!"
Ye Yunxiao appeared disgusted.
According to her knowledge, Ye Jinli was also part of the swine group. She was best kept locked in to never mess up Ye Yunxiao's plans forever.
However, Ye Yunxiao's face did not show anything, instead she said in a whisper, "Mother, rest assured, I have a way, I will soon make second sister come out."
"Really?"
Madam Guo's face showed happiness, but it then soon faded.
"But your father..."
"Mother!"
Ye Yunxiao interrupted her.
"There will be no opinion from father's side because our family will receive an invitation to attend the palace's New Years Festival!"
"Really?!"
Madam Guo was surprised and happy at the same time.
It was the palace banquet, the New Years Festival!
It was a banquet only meant for high-positioned officials and the royal family to attend!
It was also only held once a year!
Although Ye Zhongtai was a wealthy merchant, he was still not qualified to attend such a banquet.
Although Governor Guo was qualified, Madam Guo was only a prostitute back then, therefore she did not have the chance to participate.
Now, she actually had the chance to go to the palace feast!
She said nervously, "It is the King..."
Ye Yunxiao couldn't help but say, "Ninth Brother told me that this palace feast, the emperor and the empresses in the palace will attend, maybe there might even be a chance for the Young Ladies to present their talents. Allow me to carefully prepare and make a good performance."
Madam Guo laughed and her mouth opened just like a flower.
"My daughter is still the best! That's right, let mother Duan Fei to have a look at it, my Xiao'er is the best! You are the best suited to be wedded to the Prince as the main wife!"
"But…"
Ye Yunxiao's face suddenly darkened.
"The whole family was invited, is it necessary to bring that little bitch?"
"Rest assured mother. I have already told Ninth Brother not to send an invitation to that garbage."
This palace feast was the most important event for her to climb up in ranking.
She would never allow anyone to destroy it for her!
If it was possible, she did not want to bring Ye Jinli too!
However, it was not possible, she wanted to create the image of herself being a good daughter and sister in front of Jun Linfeng.
But Ye Qingli...
It is best for her to die far away from me!
