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

Chapter 236

"Are we going back?" Bei Ye asked.

Yunxi Yue wanted to check on the shop's condition to avoid further retaliation from the Zhuang family.

"Miss, Uncle Lian..." As soon as they arrived at the pharmacy, the apprentice came over with red eyes, "Uncle Lian is dead."

Yun Xiyue froze, her face turning deathly pale, her fingers clenching tightly. "Uncle Lian... how did he die?"

“He was dead the day after he woke up at home, without any signs of life. Uncle Lian has always been in good health. We reported it to the authorities, and they sent people to examine him and said he was ill. It's not possible he was murdered,” Yun Xiaohan said as he returned from the yamen.

The young apprentice cried, "It must be the Shen family, because Uncle Lian went to the palace to testify..."

This pharmacy is run by Yun Xiaohan.

They have never revealed who their backer is.

......

When Yunxi returned, she locked herself in her room and refused to see anyone.

Qingmei and Beiye stood at the door, wanting to persuade her but not daring to.

"Miss, Xiaowei is back." At this moment, Granny Cao led the people in.

Yun Xiyue then let them in.

"So? Did the Shen family kill Uncle Lian?"

Xiao Wei sighed inwardly and nodded, "Yes, but there's no evidence. And it's unclear whether it was Lord Shen or Lin Bao'er who sent them."

"There is no difference."

A cold glint flashed in Yun Xiyue's scarlet eyes. They were husband and wife, so it didn't matter who was in charge. "I want to avenge Uncle Lian."

"What does Miss intend to do?"

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "Of course, it's an eye for an eye."

Shen House.

Lin Bao'er, still in her postpartum confinement period, was in a good mood. After eating a bowl of bird's nest soup, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "How is it?"

"It's all done. Uncle Lian is dead. We originally wanted to kill his wife and daughter, but we didn't for fear of causing any trouble. Yun Xiaohan reported it to the authorities, but there was no evidence. They could only quietly bury him. Yun Xiyue went to the pharmacy today and, upon hearing the news, seemed not to believe that Uncle Lian died of illness."

Lin Bao'er sneered, "Of course she doesn't believe it. But it doesn't matter, even if she knows who did it, she can't do anything to us without evidence."

"Since we can't touch her, can't we touch the people around her? As long as she offends me once, or makes me unhappy once, someone will die in her place."

This was a method she had just come up with a couple of days ago.

Yunxi Yue, we'll see!

"Send someone to keep an eye on her and find an opportunity to kill the maidservant beside her. Leave the one who knows martial arts until last! Do it quietly."

The maid bowed and said, "Yes."

"Princess, something terrible has happened!" Xia He rushed in in a panic.

"What's all the noise about? Didn't I tell you to stay calm in the face of trouble? What kind of behavior is this, all this panic?" Lin Bao'er immediately scolded her in displeasure.

Xia He knelt down and said, "Princess...the two young masters...were bitten by dogs..."

"What?" Lin Bao'er was shocked and hurriedly got up to check on her son.

"My lord..."

Seeing Shen Yue holding her two sons, who were covered in blood, she collapsed to the ground.

"Summon the imperial physician... Summon the imperial physician quickly!"

Shen Yue's face was grim and ruthless. He said, "I've already sent people to look for them. Get up first."

"How could this happen? My dear great-grandson is studying at the academy, how could there be dogs at the academy?" Old Madam Shen came over, leaning on her cane, and almost fainted when she saw her great-grandson covered in blood.

The two children were on the verge of death and didn't even have the strength to cry.

"I was attacked by a pack of wild dogs on my way home."

"The pack of wild dogs chased our carriage like madmen, jumped into the carriage and bit the two young masters. Even the page and the coachman tried their best to protect the young masters, but they were bitten to death."

Lin Bao'er angrily said, "How can there be stray dogs in the capital city in broad daylight?"
