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

Chapter 142

Qi Yuyan didn't care at all; he just glared at Yun Xiyue, finding her increasingly unpleasant the more he looked at her.

Once all the dishes were served, she started eating.

Their table manners were quite elegant and refined.

She possesses the air of a well-bred lady.

Pei Shang started chatting with her, "What kind of shop are you planning to open?"

"I haven't decided yet." Yun Xiyue didn't want them to know what kind of shop she was opening. Who knew if the Qi family would take the opportunity to steal her business!

"Cousin, she doesn't want to tell us, she's wary of us!" Qi Yuyan said with a smile.

Pei Shang smiled but didn't say anything.

"Didn't you say you'd tell me who assassinated me once I arrived at Furi Tower? Now you can tell me."

Seeing her angry, Qi Yuyan felt inexplicably pleased. "What's the rush? Eat your fill first! I'm quite surprised. How dare you come to Fu Rui Lou with me alone? Aren't you afraid I might do something to you?"

“Who said I am alone? Isn’t Young Master Pei right here? He is my savior and also the son of Prime Minister Pei. If you dare to do something bad, he will be the first to not let it go.”

Qi Yuyan looked at Pei Shang.

Pei Shang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Miss Yun, do you believe me?"

"Yes, Young Master Pei is a gentleman, and I believe you are different from others." Yun Xiyue lowered her head and ate the roasted duck wing, her words sounding somewhat perfunctory.

This surprised Pei Shang.

Qi Yuyan said unhappily, "How long have you known your cousin? You're already convinced that he's different from others. How naive you are. No wonder you were completely fooled by Shen Yue. You didn't even know he had a woman and a child outside, and you were still stupid enough to give him money to support his woman and child."

The Shen family tried to hide these things, but they couldn't fool them.

A little investigation will reveal the truth behind their divorce.

"Ah Yu!" Pei Shang secretly kicked him.

Qi Yuyan snapped out of her daze, looked up at the woman opposite her, and noticed that she looked unwell, fearing that she might start to cry.

He quickly said, "I'm sorry..."

Yun Xiyue forced a smile, "What you said is true, there's nothing to apologize for."

"Young Master Qi, can you tell me who the murderer you're investigating is? I have other matters to attend to. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."

She had already put down her chopsticks and bowl; she had no appetite left.

Qi Yuyan felt a little annoyed. "It's Shen Yue's woman, the Princess of Nanqiang."

Pei Shang nodded. "Ah Yu and I investigated this secretly. It seems that woman is deliberately trying to kill you."

"It's probably because of your grudge against the Shen family."

“Those assassins came from the Southern Qiang. In order to conceal her identity, she deliberately framed the Qi family, wanting the Yun family to fight against the Qi family. Perhaps her initial goal was to make your Yun family anger the Qi family, and then use the Qi family to deal with your Yun family.”

This woman is extremely cunning.

It may seem that she did nothing about the affairs of the second branch of the Shen family, but she was undoubtedly involved in stirring things up behind the scenes.

Madam Shen and Madam Zhou both became pawns in her hands.

“There is no evidence to prove that she did these things,” Qi Yuyan said.

Yun Xiyue seemed both surprised and unsurprised. "I understand, thank you."

"Aren't you surprised?"

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "What's so surprising? She and I had a falling out when we were in the Shen family. I just didn't expect her to have such abilities."

Because she had clearly eliminated all of her bodyguards.

I didn't expect she had someone else.

"Now you know it wasn't our Qi family who sent someone to assassinate you, right? Our Qi family isn't that stupid."

To attack her at this critical juncture, a family that can hold a dominant position among the three major families in the capital of Great Xia must be no ordinary person.
