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

Chapter 124

"Granny Cao, go and keep an eye on things."

Granny Cao nodded and went to the front yard.

Not long after, they arrived at Xiyue Pavilion with Madam Yun.

"Mother, what is Shen Yue doing here? Has he left?" Yun Xiyue asked hurriedly.

Madam Yun held her hand, and the mother and daughter sat together on the daybed. "Let's go. He came for the scar-free ointment. He said that Shen Ling's disfigurement was caused by you applying peanut powder directly to her face in the Empress Dowager's palace, which ruined half of her face. So we should take responsibility."

Yun Xiyue sneered, "Neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager asked me to take responsibility, so why should he force me to take responsibility? Tell him that if he wants me to take responsibility for healing half of Shen Ling's face, then let the Emperor issue an edict."

Shen Ling and Zhou Zhilan conspired to harm her.

Do you expect her to be responsible for buying the scar removal cream?

Madam Yun said, "That's what I told him too."

"Then what did he say?"

Shen Yue will definitely not let this go.

"He made a harsh statement, saying that if Shen Ling was disfigured, we would not be responsible for healing her face, and the Yun family would pay the price."

Madam Yun was somewhat worried, "Yue'er, the Shen family and the Zhou family are related by marriage. Shen Ling is the Zhou family's granddaughter. Even if the Shen family doesn't make a move, the Zhou family will. It seems that the Zhou family has the Empress Dowager behind them."

“The eldest daughter of the Zhou family is the Empress Dowager’s chosen successor. If they can enter the palace and ask the Empress Dowager for her approval, then they have ways to deal with us.”

Yun Xiyue said, "Mother is right, we must be on guard."

"Yes, I'll go ask your father for advice." Madam Yun got up and left.

Yunxi Yue was also pondering this inside the house.

The next day, I went to the Prince of Qin's residence.

Xiao Rongrong was very happy to see her. "Xiyue, come here quickly. Look, Little Crescent can blow bubbles now. In a few months, she will be able to learn to walk."

She takes care of the child on a daily basis.

Having a lovely daughter is truly enviable.

Yun Xiyue came over and rocked the crib. "Does the little princess seem to recognize me?"

"Of course, she's even smiling at you! You must know her, after all, you're her savior," Xiao Rongrong said with a smile.

After playing with the child for a while, she started crying because she was hungry. The wet nurse came over and took the child away.

Xiao Rongrong kept her company while she drank tea and chatted. "What brings you here today?"

"The opening of Meirentang is gradually getting on track."

The two chatted and laughed.

Just then, a maidservant came in and said, "Your Highness, His Highness requests that you and Miss Yun go to the front courtyard together."

Xiao Rongrong found it strange, "What's wrong? Why did he suddenly want to call us over?"

Why bring Yun Xiyue along when you're looking for her?

The little girl came over and whispered something.

Xiao Rongrong's expression changed slightly as she looked at Yun Xiyue, "Xiyue, let's go to the study! The Prince wants to see you."

When she arrived at the study, she learned that the Emperor had secretly come to the Prince's residence.

Yun Xiyue's eyes lit up when she saw him. "This humble woman greets Your Majesty."

"Rong'er, Little Crescent Moon has woken up, let's go see her." Qin Mo made an excuse and pulled his princess away.

Xiao Rongrong found it strange, "Is it the Emperor looking for Xiyue?"

"Yes, I have something important to discuss with her. The Yun family are now imperial merchants, and her father is unwell and unable to enter the palace." Qin Mo pulled his wife away.

Inside the study, Murong Yu sat in a grand chair, took a sip of tea, and said, "There's no one else here, Miss Yun, please have a seat!"

Yun Xiyue walked over and sat down to the side. "Does Your Majesty wish to speak with me about something?"

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" Murong Yu put down his teacup, looked up at her, and said, "It's really not easy to see Miss Yun."

Yunxi Yue: "......"

"I would like to go to the palace to pay my respects to the Emperor, but I haven't had the chance."

Murong Yu smiled and asked, "Do you have something to discuss with me?"

Something has indeed happened.

"what is this?"
