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

Chapter 1158

"Your Highness, it's time to go back," the maid couldn't help but remind her.

Cui Yan then released Cui Yuqing: "Qing'er, take care of yourself."

"And what about you? Don't think I don't know, you sacrificed yourself for me."

Cui Yuqing didn't know how Cui Yonghe died, but there must have been a reason why Murong Yu didn't kill him.

“I won’t die either. I still have value to Murong Yu. As long as I have something to use, he won’t kill me.”

Cui Yuqing wiped away her tears. "I heard that the Emperor of Dongling ordered the confiscation of the Cui family's property. I wonder how Mother and Jingjing are doing."

"I've already arranged for someone to pick them up."

"They'll be fine."

Cui Yan wasn't too worried; Murong Yu had promised him and wouldn't go back on his word.

Upon leaving the prison, they encountered Prince Ling at the main gate.

Cui Yuqing was so frightened that her legs almost gave way and she couldn't walk.

......

"Your Majesty, Prince Ling went to the prison and brought the person back."

"Princess Ling looks terribly frightened."

Even Granny Chen used the word "tragic".

Yun Xiyue couldn't help but look at her with surprise, "Princess Consort Ling is quite timid. Prince Ling likes her, that's why he went to the prison, right? What's there to be afraid of?"

They can absolutely take advantage of being favored and become arrogant.

Without the approval of Prince Ling, Murong Yu would not agree to let her see Cui Yan.

"Perhaps Prince Ling likes Princess Ling's innocent, rabbit-like personality."

Yun Xiyue nodded. "That's true. Nobody's perfect. Cui Yuqing's appearance and gentle personality do indeed easily arouse a man's protective instincts."

"Have Father and the others returned?"

"Not yet, it's been over a year. The main reason is that after we went to the Great Wei, the Imperial Uncle and the others planned to go somewhere else."

It's been over a year already!

Yunnan Sheng has always been very busy, after all, the Yun family's business spans four countries.

"It should be soon, he'll be back by the end of the year."

As long as they are safe, that's all that matters. But when you're out and about, it's hard not to worry about their safety. Yunnan Shenghui Fei Ge sent a message back to let me know they're safe.

The letter mentioned that they hoped Xiaobao could come to the Yun family soon.

It was announced that he was the son of the Yun family.

Lady Yun hesitated for a long time before entering the palace.

"Mother, why haven't you been going to the palace lately? Chang Le and the others miss you so much!"

Yun Xiyue was delighted when her mother arrived. She pulled her to sit down with her, as if they were about to have a long talk.

“I’m afraid of bothering you. You’re so busy with palace affairs, account books, and taking care of the children. If I come, it will take up your time.” Madam Yun felt sorry for her daughter and noticed that she had lost weight recently.

"It's not a big deal, I have Granny Chen and the others to help me."

"The princes are all grown up now, and they spend most of their time studying and learning martial arts, so they rarely bother me. Chang Le is also growing up now, and she has friends to play with."

Yun Xiyue found several playmates for her daughter: Wan Jiaojiao's daughter, her elder brother's daughter, and the young princess of the Qin Prince's mansion, among others.

"So I'm fine. But Mother, Father's not home. If you feel bored, you can come to the palace to find me."

Madam Yun grasped her hand. "A-Yue, the reason I came to the palace this time is actually to tell you something."

"What is it?" Yun Xiyue could tell that she had something to say and looked preoccupied.

“Now your eldest brother is away from home most of the year, and your other sworn brothers are married and don’t stay in the capital. There’s only one girl, Xiaoduo, at home. I feel that there are too few children, and she’s a bit lonely.”

"Why don't you let Xiaobao come back and live with me? He'll be studying and learning martial arts in the palace from now on, and I can pick him up and drop him off every day."

Yun Xiyue suddenly felt a headache coming on. "Mother, are you afraid that we won't agree to let Xiaobao go to the Yun family?"

"No, the main problem is that he won't feel a sense of belonging if he doesn't grow up in the Yun family. What if he doesn't want to come to the Yun family when he grows up?"

"And I'm not afraid you won't agree, I'm worried about the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Although Murong Yu agreed verbally, he was extremely reluctant to part with Xiao Bao. Among his children, Murong Yu loved his daughter and youngest son the most.

He was reluctant to let Xiaobao go to the Yun family.

I didn't think it was that intense before.

I feel that since the child is also in Beijing, changing the surname is nothing.

But when it came to actually sending the child to the Yun family, Murong Yu felt uneasy. It wasn't that he couldn't afford to raise his son, but he couldn't go back on his promise.

Yun Xiyue said, "Mother, the Emperor is not that kind of person. He is the Son of Heaven, and his word is as good as gold. Even if he is reluctant, he will not break his promise."

"If you're worried, how about we let Xiaobao and the others come to the Yun family's house to play together and stay for a few days?"

Several princes went together.

“Otherwise, if I treat them differently, I’m afraid the other children will be unhappy. What if Da Bao and the others feel that their grandma doesn’t love them?”

Madam Yun immediately thought it made sense. "Then it's settled. You'll stay at the Yun family's house for three days every seven days, and then return to the palace."
