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

Chapter 172

It's been a while since I've seen him, and he looks thinner, which shows that he hasn't been eating and sleeping well lately.

Before leaving, Yun Xiyue advised, "Your Majesty should take care of yourself. State affairs are important, but health is the foundation."

"My maid, please retire!"

Murong Yu lowered his eyes to look at the sachet in his palm, a slight smile curving his lips. "The body is capital? All she thinks about is money. She's really obsessed with money."

"The young lady is concerned about the Emperor." Eunuch Fu smiled broadly, even more pleased than the Emperor himself.

Murong Yu gave him a cold glare. "Hmph! Serves you right for being so talkative!"

"His Majesty hasn't been eating or sleeping well lately, and he's become quite thin. The young lady can see for herself; this old servant doesn't need to say anything more," Eunuch Fu said with a wry smile.

"Summon the Prince of Qin to the palace." Murong Yu's eyes were cold and deep as he looked at the memorial on the table.

......

"Miss Yun, Aunt Qing is pregnant. Our princess invites you to the Marquis's residence for a chat."

Upon leaving the palace gates, they encountered Lin Bao'er's maid. Unlike Xia He, this maid, dressed in black, was skilled in martial arts, and there were two of them.

"What if I don't go?"

"Then tonight, we will kill Qinghe," the maid said coldly.

Qinghe was a pawn she had painstakingly cultivated, so it's a pity she died.

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Qinghe is pregnant! Then I should go and visit her, after all, she used to be my personal maid."

Lin Bao'er took the initiative to contact her; this was the first time since her divorce from Shen Yue.

She was quite composed.

If Qinghe weren't pregnant, she would probably continue to hide behind the scenes and use others to frame her.

Not wanting to arouse suspicion, I never took the initiative to cause her trouble.

"Miss Yun, please have a seat."

Lin Bao'er's face was sickly pale, showing that she had been quite angry lately. She put her fingers into a fist to her lips, coughed lightly, and forced a smile.

"Madam Shen, it's been a long time. You don't seem to be doing very well. What's wrong? Is it because the Marquis isn't being gentle and considerate to you?"

"I thought that after the divorce, the Marquis would make you his principal wife!"

The implication is that their relationship is nothing special.

Lin Bao'er's face was deathly pale, like a delicate white flower about to fall. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she possessed a natural air of heroism.

After returning to the Marquis's mansion without going to the battlefield, he began to be pampered with fine clothes and delicacies, and his skin became much whiter, but it was still not as smooth as Yun Xiyue's skin.

Staring at the woman's delicate face, Lin Bao'er felt a surge of jealousy. Shen Yue had changed since returning to the capital. First, he was seduced by that bitch Qing He, and then he started thinking about his ex-wife Yun Xiyue.

She is in this state because of Yun Xiyue.

"My love for the Marquis is stronger than gold, and we have three children. Even if Qinghe is pregnant, she will only be a lowly illegitimate child. Do you think that by helping Qinghe seduce the Marquis, you can take everything from me?" Lin Bao'er sneered, as if she had seen through all of her tricks long ago.

Yun Xiyue wasn't surprised that she knew the truth. "Then Madam Shen doesn't need to be angry. Look, you've even fallen ill because of your anger. He's just an illegitimate son. I suppose you wouldn't mind if Qinghe had a few more children in the future."

"Yun Xiyue, since you left the Marquis, why did you try to ruin our marriage?" Lin Bao'er sent people to investigate, and after thinking for several days, she finally found out that the infertility drug was Yun Xiyue's doing.

It turns out that Yun Xiyue's people are still in the Marquis's mansion.

She discovered that several maids in Baohua Garden were planted by her.

"I don't know what Madam Shen is talking about. You called me here just to say this? Then you've come to the wrong person." Yun Xiyue was there because she saw her miserable state.

"Regardless of who did it behind the scenes, Shen Yue didn't believe you, did he?"
