Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1018

“Cousin…” Pei Fanghua’s face paled, her beautiful eyes filled with terror. She turned around abruptly and glared at Yun Xiyue hatefully, “How dare you lie to me!”

Murong Yu walked steadily to Yun Xiyue's side. "This matter has nothing to do with A-Yue. I heard that you entered the palace, so I came to see you."

But unexpectedly, they stumbled upon such a shocking secret.

Murong Yu pondered to himself, "That scoundrel Cui Yan is truly still harboring wicked intentions."

Could all of this be part of Sikong Xuanche's scheme?

“Pei Fang,” Murong Yu’s gaze suddenly sharpened like an eagle’s, locking onto her tightly, “If you don’t want to suffer today, tell me everything you know!”

Pei Fang's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud. Her lips trembled as she murmured, "Cousin... I know I was wrong. I'll tell you everything I know."

"But Cui Yan didn't tell me much."

Murong Yu gestured for Leng Yan to come in and take her away for a thorough interrogation.

"Ah Yue, you let her into the palace to see me alone, why didn't you tell me? What if she harms you and the children again?"

Yun Xiyue said, "She won't."

"After all, her worries have been resolved, and she really wants to marry Gong Dian."

This time there was no coercion, and no one made the choice for her; she made the choice herself, which means she was willing and naturally wouldn't do such foolish things again.

“Illusionary Talisman? The Cui family actually has such a thing. No wonder she didn’t seem to be poisoned. Chu Xinyi forgot what happened after she woke up.”

"If I didn't know who Pei Fang was, I'm afraid I might have made a misjudgment."

At that time, Chu Xinyi could hear what Pei Fang was saying, and even misinterpreted her words as her deepest fear.

Then he would act like a madman and attack Pei Fang, pushing her into the water and wishing he could kill her.

All of this stemmed from the hatred that arose within her after she experienced hallucinations.

Yun Xiyue nodded. "Even the minor medicine manual can't detect it, so we definitely need to be careful. Could we find someone who knows mystical arts to deal with him?"

The only one who can rival the Cui family is Xue Shan Bai Daozi.

"Now that the war has stopped, Dongling Kingdom and the Cui family will definitely keep a low profile and grow stronger in secret, and then they will send troops against us again when they have the opportunity."

"I'm not worried about anything else, except letting them resort to underhanded tactics."

The illusionary talisman that Pei Fang brought served as a great warning to them.

"Then let Bai Daozi come to Great Xia as the Imperial Preceptor!"

Murong Yu laughed and asked, "Will he agree?"

“I am now the Holy Lord of the Snow Mountain. Would he be unwilling?” Back then, Bai Daozi begged her to become the Holy Lord.

Now even the snow-capped mountains need her help.

Yunxi Yue immediately wrote a letter and had it sent to the snow mountain.

After the arrangements were made, Leng Yan came to report, "Your Majesty, this is Pei Fang's confession."

Murong Yu took it and glanced at it. "Is that all she knows?"

Having spent two years in Dongling Kingdom, he couldn't even bring back a single useful clue; he was truly useless.

“The main problem is that Cui Yan doesn’t trust her. She wasn’t mistreated in the Cui family; she was just kept under house arrest and watched over, but she was free to come and go as she pleased.”

What angered Leng Yan was that not only did she resort to any means to harm Chu Xinyi for her own sake, but she also dared to lie and say that she was being abused in an attempt to gain sympathy.

He genuinely believed she had been abused, which is why he felt a little soft-hearted.

It's infuriating to think about!

Murong Yu glanced at him and said, "Luckily, you have strong willpower and didn't believe her, otherwise you might have been dumped by your wife by now."

Leng Yan smiled bitterly to himself.

After all, she was the woman he had secretly loved for so many years.

The white moonlight in one's heart is always filtered through a layer that others cannot see.

He doesn't deny that Pei Fang was once his favorite person. If he had to do it again, he probably would still be soft-hearted. The reason he didn't fall for her trick wasn't because he had strong willpower, but because he knew she was a married man with a wife and son.
