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

Chapter 116

"No."

Seeing that she didn't believe him.

Qi Yuyan was somewhat angry. "If it were our Qi family who sent someone to assassinate you, I wouldn't have invited you to dinner today, let alone confronted you in person."

"It can only mean that you didn't do it, but that doesn't mean that no one else in the Qi family did it. Can Young Master Qi guarantee that none of your Qi family members have done such a despicable thing?" Yun Xiyue smiled slightly, having no intention of arguing with him.

When they investigated, they didn't have conclusive evidence, but the clues pointed to the Qi family.

"There's no smoke without fire. If the Qi family wants to prove their innocence, they should find the culprit behind it. Also, the closure of your rice shop has nothing to do with our Yun family. Does that mean that only the Qi family can do business on West City Street? Can't others do it? If that's the case, your Qi family is really domineering. The closure of the rice shop is probably because someone has been disliking you for a long time."

"Please refrain from making any unfounded speculations before we have any evidence."

After saying that, Yun Xiyue placed the silver note on the dining table. "I cannot accept a reward without merit. Since Young Master Qi believes that the Qi family did not send anyone to assassinate me, there is no need to treat me to this meal."

She bowed to Pei Shang and then left with her entourage.

Qi Yuyan stared at the silver note for a long time before he came to his senses. "This woman really has guts!"

“I didn’t expect her to be this kind of woman,” Pei Shang said with a smile.

how to say!

She's a very interesting woman, much more interesting than those women who only know how to dress up and please men.

"If I could find out who was behind this, would I need to talk to her? I would have already cut off the murderer's head and sent it to her Yun family to scare her to death." Qi Yuyan clenched her fists in anger. It had been a long time since she had been talked to like this, especially by a woman. She was really angry.

Pei Shang smiled and asked, "Then why did you invite her to dinner?"

"Humph!"

Qi Yuyan was taken aback for a moment, her fox-like eyes narrowing slightly. "I just wanted to see how she would react. She didn't even ask who was paying before she started eating. I thought she was nothing special."

Who would have thought that she had misunderstood Yun Xiaohan?

Fu Rui Lou is a restaurant run by his Qi family. It is currently under his management, so it can't be called a treat; it can only be said that he waived her bill.

"Let's go and track down the assassin. I'll make sure she knows how powerful I am."

......

"Miss, that person was the eldest son of the Qi family. If you talk to him like that, won't you offend him and he might send someone to assassinate you later?"

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "He's in a precarious situation, and given what happened last time, he wouldn't dare to do it again. But maybe the person who tried to assassinate me last time really wasn't from the Qi family. If it were, Qi Yuyan wouldn't have come to confront me."

"I just didn't expect that the Pei family and the Qi family were related by marriage."

In her past life, she was imprisoned by the Shen family and only knew about the outside world from the servants, old women, and Qinghe who came to tell her.

Over the past five years, she has not learned much about the people and affairs in the capital, because Li Shi did not allow her to come into contact with these powerful and influential families in the capital.

She gets angry just thinking about it; the Shen family really only sees her as a money bag!

"Were those 50,000 taels of silver sent to the Zhou and Shen families for the palace?"

Xiao Wei said, "They were sent. It's said that Grand Tutor Zhou and Lord Shen sent them to the palace together."

Now that Shen Yue has allied himself with the Zhou family, it will become increasingly difficult to destroy the Shen family.

Yun Xiyue was in a bad mood and did not visit any other shops. She got into the carriage and planned to return home.

But when they got into the carriage, they found someone already inside, who seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time.

"you......"
