By the time Ye Shixian returned home, lanterns were already lit throughout the courtyard.
Although Murong Ye had promised to help, Ye Shixian's heart was still unsettled.
Besides…
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet tomorrow."
Ye Shixian stared at the exquisite head ornaments on her vanity, biting her lip in frustration.
She had been planning to use this opportunity to shine and regain some ground. Who would have thought something like this would happen the day before the banquet?
With Ye Heng in prison, even though his crimes hadn't been determined, their entire family would surely be affected.
How could Ye Shixian dare to even dream of entering the palace now?
If she went at a time like this, she'd be the target of public criticism, mocked by countless people!
