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

Chapter 179

“My mother told me that Eunuch Liu had an apprentice who took over his position after Eunuch Liu died. Now he works for Consort Pei and is doing very well in the palace. We can’t get into the palace, but he has a way to get to Baohua Temple. If he knew how Eunuch Liu died, he would definitely help us.”

Shen Yue disagreed, "Eunuch Liu was killed by my mother, have you forgotten?"

"But Mother had no choice; the one who truly killed Eunuch Liu was Yun Xiyue."

“My lord, I know you can’t bear to hurt her, after all, she’s been your wife for many years, but she doesn’t think that way. Ever since my mother and grandmother sent her to the palace to be played with by Eunuch Liu, she has held a grudge and that’s why she’s trying to harm us like this.”

"For the sake of the Marquis's estate, I think you should consider the bigger picture."

Shen Yue thought it made sense. Although it was unfair to Yun Xiyue, he had no choice but to do it for the sake of the future of the Marquis's mansion.

We can only make things difficult for her for now, and make it up to her later.

at night.

Baohua Temple is somewhat deserted; it was the royal family temple.

It was usually managed by monks and eunuchs, and it was located in a relatively remote place outside the imperial city, far from the inner palace.

She could only bring one maid, so she chose to bring Bei Ye.

After all, she only felt at ease when Bei Ye was with her when she was away.

"Miss, the hot water is ready. Please take a bath first!" Bei Ye closed the door and stood guard outside.

Just then, a gust of wind swept by, and someone attacked him without using any sleeping potion.

He immediately held his breath, pretended to faint, and then made a noise to alert Yun Xiyue.

Yun Xiyue was about to take off her clothes when she heard the noise and immediately became alert, "Ye'er..."

The door was opened.

But it wasn't Bei Ye who came in.

Instead, it was a person dressed in a black robe and wearing a hat.

He wore black official boots and a jade thumb ring on his finger.

"who are you?"

The other person gave a soft hum, their voice both feminine and icy, "Miss Yun is indeed an exceptionally beautiful woman. Would you like to prepare for a bath and change? Your maid is asleep, so why don't I help you?"

Yun Xiyue stepped back, "Who... exactly are you?"

The sound brought back very unpleasant memories for her.

Wasn't that disgusting old eunuch, Eunuch Liu, dead? Why does this person's voice sound the same as his?

"Miss Yun, have you forgotten so quickly? I died a terrible death!" The man sneered sinisterly, and all the candles in the room were extinguished.

Yun Xiyue swallowed hard in horror, “...Don’t come any closer. I wasn’t the one who killed Eunuch Liu. It was Li Shi…the Shen family. The grievances have their perpetrators, and the debts have their debtors. Go find them.”

"Hmph!" The man ignored him completely, took out a silver string, and walked over step by step.

Yun Xiyue took out a copper basin and smashed it.

Bang!

But he easily brushed her away with a flick of his sleeve.

At the same time, another burst of energy appeared and knocked the copper basin back.

As the other person looked up in surprise, a man dressed similarly to him appeared outside the window.

Seeing this, he looked somewhat shocked, and then quickly left.

"Chase!"

Several figures immediately gave chase.

Bei Ye was finally free. He woke up and was about to come in, but was suddenly held down and couldn't move.

"Miss..."

"go out."

After hearing the voice clearly, Bei Ye paused for a moment before bowing and stepping back.

Yun Xiyue looked up at the man. His black robe fluttered, and the exquisite jade bell at his waist jingled. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and her whole body slowly slid down against the bathtub. "Your Majesty, is that you?"

"Ah."

Murong Yu bent down and picked her up.
