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

Chapter 23

"Let her come up."

what?

When the King of Qin heard this, he was startled and almost shouted out, thinking he had misheard.

"Your Highness, the master says he's returning to the palace." Eunuch Fu quickly corrected himself, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Sir, please don't cause trouble for Madam Shen. Doing so will harm her," he said in a low voice.

Murong Yu glanced at Yun Xiaohan and snorted, "Find out who this person is later. I need to know what his relationship with the Shen family is. This matter involves spies. Your Highness must find out."

The King of Qin secretly broke out in a cold sweat. So that's why he suspected the Shen family of treason!

No wonder they pay special attention to the Shen family.

He thought the Emperor had taken a liking to Yun Xiyue...

"I understand, Your Majesty, please return to the palace!"

Murong Yu nodded, and the carriage left silently.

"Madam Shen, who is this?" King Qin stepped forward and asked.

“My elder brother,” Yun Xiyue said.

Yun Xiaohan quickly bowed and said, "Yun Xiaohan greets Your Highness."

The King of Qin smiled and said, "Young Master Yun, there's no need for such formalities. Come to the palace for tea when you have time."

After saying that, he rode away.

Yun Xiaohan was completely baffled. "Yue'er, do you know the King of Qin?"

"We encountered robbers at Wanxiang Temple this time, and we were fortunate to have the help of the people from the Prince of Qin's Mansion." Yun Xiyue didn't intend to tell her elder brother the truth, so as not to worry him.

Yun Xiaohan secretly noted it down, "The Prince Qin's Mansion is our Yun family's benefactor. We should pay them a visit."

It's beneficial for my elder brother to associate with the Prince of Qin's residence.

Yun Xiyue immediately expressed her support, "Yes, we should prepare a generous gift."

"But with my status, will Your Highness even see me?" Yun Xiaohan was a little worried, feeling that what the Prince of Qin had just said was just a polite remark.

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "King Qin is a true war god of Wei. He is upright, loyal to the emperor and devoted to the country. Brother, don't worry. Not everyone is like the Shen family, looking down on others."

True power and wealth, people in high positions, are very easygoing and kind to others, and never use their status or power to oppress others.

Yun Xiaohan was relieved. "Then I'll go back and prepare a gift."

"The King of Qin has just gained a beloved daughter, whom he adores," Yun Xiyue reminded him.

The King of Qin doted on his wife and daughter. As long as the young princess was given something she liked, he would accept it, since he didn't lack anything else.

After making a note of it, Yun Xiaohan went to prepare.

Yunxiyue returned to the Marquis's residence.

"Madam, the two young masters are injured. The Grand Madam said the food shouldn't be too bad, and she asked someone to go and buy some ginseng and abalone."

Yun Xiyue said, "You're injured, so you can't eat too much rich food. You should eat something light. How can you eat ginseng and abalone!"

"The two young masters have been starving for two days and are crying for meat," said Granny Gui, wiping away her tears with great heartache.

"Madam, it's just a few meals of meat, you're not even willing to accept that?"

Granny Gui was a servant of the Dowager Madam.

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "How could that be? Granny Gui, do you think I'm a heartless person? For the past five years, I've taken care of all the food, clothing and daily necessities for the entire Marquis's mansion. I also paid for the food, clothing and daily necessities for the two young masters during their five years at the border."

"Am I such a petty person? Don't you think so?"

Granny Gui's expression changed slightly, feeling a burning pain on her cheeks. She knew from the beginning that the Marquis and the Princess had married and had a child at the border, and the Marquis had even sent a congratulatory message when the child was born.

The old lady was overjoyed, and everyone in the Marquis's mansion knew it. They celebrated in secret, but kept it from Yun Xiyue.

"The doctor said that it's not advisable to eat too much meat or fish after an injury, but you can have some ginseng soup to nourish your bodies. The two young masters are frightened and their bodies are weak, so they need to be nourished."

Yun Xiyue said, "The Marquis's pharmacy should still have ginseng. Granny Gui can go to the pharmacy to get it."

Granny Gui looked embarrassed. "Yes, then this servant will not disturb Madam."

There was no ginseng in the pharmacy; the old lady had already arranged for someone to buy it, and the money was given to the master to squander on a life of debauchery. No one else knew about this.

"So? Did she take out any money to buy ginseng?"
