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

Chapter 130

Murong Yu, he really dares to ask for an exorbitant amount!

The guards were waiting for her to sign and put her fingerprint on the document.

Yun Xiyue reluctantly signed and sealed the document. As long as it didn't mean she would be forced to become a concubine in the palace or that her entire family would be executed, she was willing to accept the cost of a little money.

Who told him to be the emperor!

The guard took the document and left.

Yun Xiyue had a plate of layered peach cake prepared and sent it to the palace by her secret guards.

She hoped he would help her this once, for the sake of the silver notes, snacks, and incense.

If the Empress Dowager really bestows a marriage upon my elder brother, the Yun family will have no way to stop it.

"Your Majesty, this is a thousand-layer peach cake that Miss Yun made for you." Eunuch Fu chuckled as he carried in the food box.

Murong Yu glanced at the document she had personally signed, his expression turning sour. Then he looked at the pastries on the table, and his expression softened somewhat. "She certainly knows how to win people over, humph!"

I picked up a piece, took a bite, and then ate another piece.

Eunuch Fu beamed with joy, his mood was absolutely fantastic. The Emperor hadn't eaten all day, so at least he could finally have something to eat.

It's all thanks to Miss Yun.

Now he was increasingly certain that the Emperor treated Miss Yun differently.

I'll have to work hard to get along with this Miss Yun from now on!

......

A few days later, the Zhou family indeed entered the palace.

Yun Xiyue knew this but had no way to enter the palace because she currently lacked the necessary status.

Unlike Madam Zhou, who held an imperial title and could enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager without being summoned, she was different.

Yun Xiyue was a little anxious and sent someone to find Yun Xiaohan.

"Yue'er, what's wrong?"

"Elder brother," Yun Xiyue stepped forward, "Madam Zhou has entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager."

"You know that Shen Yue came to the Yun family a few days ago, right?"

A cold glint flashed in Yun Xiaohan's eyes as he said, "I know, that man is working with the Zhou family to deal with us."

"But there seems to be no action. What does Madam Zhou's visit to the Empress Dowager have to do with this matter?"

"The Empress Dowager would never collude with them to harm us, after all, we were promoted by the Emperor."

Could the Empress Dowager oppose the Emperor because of the Zhou family?

"The Empress Dowager will not get involved, but the Zhou and Shen families are both very cunning."

"She'll get the Empress Dowager to grant you a marriage! You're not married yet, Shen Ling is disfigured and can't get married, what if they want you to marry Shen Ling?"

Shen Yue did not want to divorce her, believing that a marriage alliance between the Shen and Yun families would benefit his family.

Now that they are divorced, if the Shen family wants to seize the Yun family's assets, they will try to arrange another marriage between the Yun and Shen families.

"They wanted you to marry Shen Yue before, but I made up an excuse that you were engaged in Yunzhou."

"But if someone were to investigate, they would find out that you are not engaged."

Yun Xiaohan's expression changed slightly. "Don't worry, I'll send someone to find out what's going on."

Now that they are imperial merchants, they have contact with people in the palace and have ways to get information.

"Ah."

After giving the order, Yun Xiaohan turned back to look at her and said, "Yue'er, if they try to scheme against me to marry Shen Ling, I will defy the imperial decree and tell the Empress Dowager that I am engaged to you."

Yun Xiyue was stunned. "But...we are siblings."

“We are not blood siblings. My father adopted me with the intention of raising me as your husband.” Yun Xiaohan looked at her intently, and fearing that he would frighten her, he added, “I know you regard me as your brother. I am saying this to dispel the Empress Dowager’s idea of ​​a marriage.”
