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

Chapter 22

"My lord, the two young masters have been found, but they are currently being held hostage by kidnappers. We have surrounded them, so please hurry over!" At this moment, an official from the government came to report.

As Yun Xiyue emerged from the Buddhist hall, Xiao Wei quietly approached and reported, "Madam, they've been driven to desperation."

"Because the government and the Marquis's mansion have been searching everywhere these past two days, they have no way to escape and can only hide in the woods behind Wanxiang Temple. Today, the Marquis's mansion discovered them."

These bandits are really useless. We helped them evade the pursuers, but they still couldn't escape.

The original plan was to have them sell the children on the black market to be slaves.

Yun Xiyue frowned slightly, knowing it wouldn't be that easy, and had a backup plan. "Is everything arranged?"

“It’s all arranged. They only left two people behind. I arranged for someone to send the others away and gave them some money. They have agreed to do as we said.”

"These bandits are not very capable, but they are all loyal. They will not break their promise to save others, and I also said a few words to them."

That is, to tell them that Lin Bao'er wanted to use them.

These past few days, when they were desperate, it was Xiao Wei who brought them food. The group didn't suspect anything; on the contrary, they were very grateful to him.

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Yes, well done. Let's go take a look at the back mountain."

Back mountain.

Two enraged bandits grabbed two children by the neck, their faces turning ashen.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll strangle them right now."

"No!" Lin Bao'er cried. "Don't hurt the child, I can let you leave."

The bandit sneered, "Madam Lin, we meet again. Didn't you send us to Wanxiang Temple to kidnap the Marquis's son? Why are you sending people to hunt us down now?"

"What did you say? How could Bao'er let you kidnap her own child?" Shen Yue shouted angrily. "Who are you? Who sent you?"

"It was her, Lin Bao'er. She told us that as long as we kidnapped the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion, we could make a lot of money. We went to kidnap the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion first, and she was the one who helped us drug and knock her unconscious."

"As a result, we were unlucky and encountered Princess Qin's people, so we failed. We were forced by Lin Bao'er and had no choice but to capture her son."

Lin Bao'er's expression changed slightly. "You're talking nonsense! My lord, they've gone mad. Kill them quickly and save Xuan'er and Yi'er."

"You truly are a wicked woman! Since you wish for our deaths, then your sons shall be buried with us!"

"Mother... Father... Help me..." The child cried loudly, having not eaten for two days and two nights, his whole body trembling violently.

"No..." Lin Bao'er screamed in terror.

Shen Yue grabbed her, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Just then, someone slashed two bandits from behind, blood splattering everywhere.

The child was thrown to the ground and lost consciousness.

"Xuan'er, Yi'er!" Shen Yue and Lin Bao'er immediately went over and picked up the children. "Someone, prepare to go back to the manor."

"Madam, let's go! The Marquis and the others have gone down the mountain."

"I heard that both young masters broke their legs."

Yun Xiyue's lips curled into a cold smile. These little bastards are lucky to be alive. Don't let their young age fool you; they're both wicked. In her past life, those two scoundrels took pleasure in tormenting her and setting wild dogs on her.

He laughed as he watched her scream in agony.

"Well, let's go back!"

There were still no guards left behind; Yun Xiyue returned alone with a maid and a coachman.

"Moon!" I met Yun Xiaohan at the city gate.

He was worried when he heard the news, so he came to pick her up.

"Big brother."

"Are you alright?" Yun Xiaohan rushed forward anxiously to check if she was injured.

Yun Xiyue shook her head. "I'm fine."

Just then, a carriage from the Prince of Qin's residence passed by. Inside a low-key carriage, Murong Yu glanced at the person outside and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who is that man?"

The Queen Consort of Qin had just given birth, so they were walking slowly and didn't expect to witness such an interesting scene.

Does Yun Xiyue have other men?

The King of Qin looked up and paused slightly, thinking to himself, "Why is it her again?"

"Mrs. Shen!"

Yun Xiyue turned her head and glanced at him, her expression changing slightly. She didn't even dare to look at the carriage behind him. "Prince Qin."

"Let her up," the person inside the carriage ordered in a deep voice.
