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

Chapter 186

Lin Huangjin raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised. "Then how do you prove your innocence?"

"The Shen family just said that you were the only one who saw Bao'er that day. You and Bao'er have a grudge, and you love Lord Shen deeply. It is very likely that you would poison someone out of jealousy that Bao'er stole your man. That is your motive for harming someone."

The main hall was quiet, filled only with the voices of Yun Xiyue and Lin Huangjin.

She chuckled softly, as if it were a gentle breeze, "This is just wishful thinking on your part, Third Prince, and the Shen family. Who said I deeply love Lord Shen?"

"If you didn't love him deeply, why would you marry her?" This was the question Murong Yu asked.

His sudden words startled everyone.

Yun Xiyue was also stunned and couldn't help but look up at him.

"Hmm, not bad." Lin Huangjin continued, "Your Majesty asks a good question. If you didn't deeply love Shen Yue, why would you marry him? And stay with him for five years. That's more than just deep love!"

Yun Xiyue sneered, "This is originally my own business and there's no need for me to bring it up, but since the Third Prince asked, let's start from the beginning!"

"The most important thing now is to detoxify Bao'er. I don't think it's necessary to bring up the past." Shen Yue stood up and interrupted her.

“Your Majesty, Third Prince, Yun Xiyue and I have already divorced. No matter how many grudges we had in the past or what happened, she is still my ex-wife. If she hands over the antidote today, I will forgive and forget whatever wrong she has done.”

Lin Bao'er coughed a few times. "Brother, it's all in the past. I had amnesia back then and didn't know that the Marquis was already married. We couldn't help ourselves because of our feelings, but in the end, we were the ones who wronged Miss Yun first."

"So no matter what she does to me, I can forgive her. I'd even be willing to die, but I'm carrying the Marquis's child, and the young boy is innocent."

"I only ask that Miss Yun spare my child. Once the child is safely delivered, you can vent your anger however you like, and I will not have any complaints."

Everyone felt that their actions were understandable.

Therefore, it's not appropriate to criticize them too much.

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "You may not pursue this matter, but I will. There is nothing shameful about my past or present."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Shen Yue said in a deep voice.

Yun Xiyue rolled her eyes. "Are you not letting me speak because you're afraid I'll expose the ugly face of your Shen family? Are you afraid everyone will see your true colors? Shen Yue, if you won't let me speak, then you speak for yourself."

"If I am truly innocent, if I have done something utterly heinous, then today we will settle all accounts for each and every one of these things."

Her voice was cold and sharp, echoing clearly throughout the hall.

Everyone was taken aback by her audacity.

Shen Yue's face was gloomy, and his teeth were clenched. "Nonsense! This is a grudge between you and me. If you want to settle things with me, you can do it in private. Today, we're talking about the matter of you ordering the maid to poison Bao'er."

As he spoke, he rose and knelt in the main hall. “Your Majesty, these are my family matters. I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission to resolve them privately.”

"Today, the envoy from the Southern Qiang Kingdom came to visit and asked about Bao'er's poisoning. She is now deeply poisoned and pregnant, and urgently needs an antidote, otherwise her life will be in danger. I only ask that the Yun family invite a divine physician to detoxify her and hand over the girl for punishment, then I will no longer pursue the Yun family's crimes."

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "Then I should thank you for letting bygones be bygones and sparing my life?"

“Miss Yun, we have done more than enough. You should restrain your words and actions and not try to slander and humiliate our Shen family. Don’t go too far,” Madam Shen said coldly.

Ms. Li did not come today.

Yun Xiyue looked at the old lady, her eyes filled with a cold smile, "Then I'm sorry, but I'm going to go this far."

"you......"

Madam Shen was so angry that her face turned ashen, and her finger trembled as she pointed at her, "You...you are simply outrageous."

“Grandmother.” Shen Yue rushed over to support her and sternly rebuked her, “Yun Xiyue, if you hate me, come at me, don’t hurt my family.”

Madam Shen clutched her chest and kept crying out in pain.
