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

Chapter 118

"How dare you assault the Marquis! You're asking for trouble!"

Yun Xiyue sat in the carriage without the slightest panic. "Lord Shen, if you're not afraid of things getting out of hand and people finding out that you're harassing your ex-wife and being beaten in the street, then let them keep making a fuss."

Shen Yue was covered in dirt and looked rather disheveled, completely unlike his earlier air of nobility. With a gloomy look in his eyes, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gestured to his subordinates to stop talking.

He really can't afford to lose face like this!

"Yun Xiyue, I hope you won't regret everything you've done today."

After saying that, he led his men away from the hidden box.

Qingmei rushed up anxiously, "Miss, are you alright?"

Yun Xiyue rubbed her reddened wrist. "Let's go back first."

Xiao Wei quickly drove the carriage back to the Yun residence.

Yun Xiyue didn't want her parents to know or worry about this small matter, so she forbade anyone to tell them.

Qingmei was furious and wanted to say something when she saw Madam Yun, but Yun Xiyue glared at her and made her swallow her anger.

"Moon, you're back! I heard business at Beauty Hall is doing well. The manager just brought over today's accounts, and I took a look; it's still profitable."

Madam Yun smiled broadly and, holding the account book, said to her, "Because of the new opening, the half-price discount has attracted a lot of customers."

Yun Xiyue was also satisfied with the account book. "This method is good, but it can't be done in the long run. It will lose its novelty, and besides, no one will buy rouge and powder every day."

"It will return to normal in three days at most."

Madam Yun nodded. "That makes sense. That's how it is in business. When you're lucky, you'll have a steady stream of customers, but when you're unlucky, you might not have many customers at all in a month. There are profits and losses, so you have to keep a balanced mindset."

"Cultivating repeat customers is the key to profitability."

Yun Xiyue thought it made sense. "Mother, I will manage the Beauty Hall well."

The four members of their family all run different businesses.

Each person runs their own business; in my father's words, it's all about individual ability. At the end of the month, we'll settle the accounts and see who earns the most.

"Miss, the Princess has sent someone to invite you to enjoy the flowers together."

Looking at the invitation, Madam Yun couldn't help but worry, "What does the Princess want with you?"

She finally understood from the last wine tasting event that people in Beijing have no human touch; they only care about profit.

Even if they know it's wrong, they will abandon their principles when faced with benefits. Madam Yun doesn't like people like that.

Yun Xiyue already knew the true nature of these people, but they had no way to avoid associating with them.

“Mother, don’t worry. The Eldest Princess and Princess Qin know each other. I met the Eldest Princess through Princess Qin’s introduction.”

She needs the connections of the Eldest Princess and the Princess Consort of Qin.

Otherwise, it will be very difficult to make a living in the capital.

Regardless of who the other party is or what their purpose is, she only needs to firmly grasp their value and use them for her own benefit.
