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

Chapter 143

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "Then the closure of your Qi family's shops wasn't done by our Yun family! Think about it, our Yun family just arrived in the capital and hasn't even established a foothold yet. We don't know anyone well. How could we possibly have the Qi family's shops closed down overnight?"

“When I was first assassinated, my father was very angry. When he sent people to find out that it was the Qi family, he also thought about retaliating.”

"But before we could do anything, something happened to your Qi family's shop."

Qi Yuyan said, "We know about this matter; it was just a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, can Miss Yun calm down?"

"Ah."

Yun Xiyue nodded. "I'm full. Thank you for the treat, Young Master Qi."

"If you're not angry anymore, why are you leaving? We haven't even finished our meal."

"You ordered such a huge table of food, do you think the three of us can finish it all?"

Yun Xiyue was both amused and exasperated. It was just a joke; how could he take it seriously?

"Then let's pack it up! I'll eat it when I get home."

Pei Shang pulled him back, signaling him to stop talking, and had someone come in to pack the food and put it in a food box for her to take back.

"You're pursuing her so relentlessly, is it because you've fallen for her?"

Qi Yuyan's expression changed slightly. "How is that possible?"

"That's not how it works. Just avoid contact with her. The Qi family and the Yun family have different stances," Pei Shang reminded him.

Originally, the Qi family, Liu family, and Han family were all determined to win the title of Imperial Merchant. They had been vying for it for decades, but no one had been chosen.

Suddenly, the Yun family appeared out of nowhere and beat them to it.

The Yun family and the Qi family are rivals in the business world.

Qi Yuyan took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I understand."

......

We left Fu Rui Lou.

"Come with me." Shen Yue appeared at the door and blocked her way.

"Lord Shen, I have nothing to talk to you about."

"Please move aside," Yun Xiyue said angrily, her face grim.

Shen Yue grabbed her wrist and said, "If you want people to know that we're entangled, then shout it out loud and let everyone know."

This is the entrance to the restaurant, a place bustling with people coming and going.

Yun Xiyue didn't want anyone to know about their intimate behavior, so she endured it and followed him to a deserted alley.

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Yue, wearing a cloak, removed his hood to reveal sinister eyes. "Why are you with Qi Yuyan and Pei Shang?"

"It's none of your business," Yun Xiyue said irritably. "You'd better say what you need to say, or I'm going home."

"Humph!"

Shen Yue snorted softly. After not seeing her for a while, he realized that this woman was really different from the gentle, submissive, obedient ex-wife he knew who only had eyes for him.

"Ling'er has been disfigured by you, you should take responsibility."

Yun Xiyue sneered, "Then she deserves it."

"Yun Xiyue! I warned you not to touch anyone from the Shen family." The man's eyes suddenly darkened, and he grabbed her shoulders and pressed her against the wall.

"let me go......"

"Miss." Qingmei and Xiaowei tried to come over, but were stopped by Shen Yue's guards, and the guards protecting her were also subdued by him.

This man came prepared.

Yun Xiyue struggled and pulled out her hairpin, stabbing his shoulder.

The man grunted softly, leaned down and pinned her down, angrily saying, "Yun Xiyue... how dare you! Do you think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"
