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

Chapter 239

"In this situation, the only option is to lock them all up."

Lin Bao'er asked in anguish, "Lock me up? How will you lock me up?"

"It's safer to keep them in a cage."

Lin Bao'er burst into tears, "My lord, you can't do this! They are our children, not animals!"

However, the Li family was not afraid of being bitten and turned into dogs, so no one dared to approach them.

They dared not spread the word, lest they embarrass the Marquis's mansion, and stopped inviting imperial physicians to treat them.

Later arrivals were all imperial physicians brought by envoys from the Southern Qiang Kingdom.

Lin Huangjin came to see it once.

"Royal brother, please help me! Leave a royal physician at the Marquis's residence to treat my son." Lin Bao'er's eyes were swollen from crying, and her voice was hoarse with pain.

Lin Huangjin said coldly, "I'm asking you, did you send someone to kill that doctor at Lotus Pharmacy?"

"Third Brother, it wasn't me. I'm in my postpartum period and don't have the energy to do such a thing," Lin Bao'er cried. "I know you don't believe me, but I really didn't do it. I do hate Yun Xiyue and I have thought about revenge, but if I were to take revenge, it would be against Yun Xiyue!"

She cried with a heartbroken, helpless, and innocent expression.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly realizing something, she looked up at Lin Huangjin, tears streaming down her face, a fierce glint in her eyes, "Could it be that Yun Xiyue is the one who harmed my son?"

Lin Huangjin's expression was cold and stern. "You killed her people, so it's not impossible for her to target your son."

Although there was no evidence, his intuition told him that Yun Xiyue was the one who did it.

If it really is her, that would be quite a surprise. Yun Xiyue gave him the impression of being a very kind woman.

Such cruel methods were used against two innocent children...

Even he couldn't do it.

"Waaah... Third Brother, why did Yun Xiyue do this to me? She has hurt me so badly, what should I do? If she wants revenge, she can come after me, why does she have to hurt the child!" Lin Bao'er cried out in grief.

Lin Huangjin scoffed, "What are you pretending for?"

"Third Brother, I wasn't pretending."

"Shut up!"

"Lin Bao'er, what kind of person are you that I, the prince, need to remind you again?" Lin Huangjin was instantly enraged and raised his hand to grab her neck. "Shen Yue may fall for your act, but I, the prince, will not."

"Listen to me carefully, you are not allowed to touch Yun Xiyue!"

Lin Bao'er's face turned purple as she said painfully, "Third Brother... have you really fallen for that woman? She's just a lowly merchant's daughter, and besides, she's a woman Shen Yue doesn't want."

"Shut up!" Lin Huangjin shouted even harder.

"Third Brother, I was wrong."

"I...I'm not lying to you. Yun Xiyue is no longer a virgin. Although Shen Yue hasn't touched her, she's been having an affair with another man behind her back..."

Lin Huangjin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who is that man?"

"It is... the Emperor of Great Xia."

"you sure?"

Lin Bao'er collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with terror. "I'm sure... If Third Brother doesn't believe me, he can investigate himself. Murong Yu has always been very protective of her, it's not an occasional thing. If there isn't an unusual relationship, why would he protect her so many times? And why would he disagree with Yun Xiyue's marriage to you?"

"Third Brother married that woman to get the Yun family's property?" she asked cautiously, testing the man.

"Hmph!" Lin Huangjin snorted coldly without saying a word.

Lin Bao'er continued, "I've heard that the Yun family is incredibly wealthy, almost as rich as a country. Our Southern Qiang Kingdom is currently facing an empty treasury and urgently needs a sum of money to fill it. It's only right that Third Brother shares Father's burdens."

“But simply marrying Yun Xiyue might not be enough. If she really does marry you as a political alliance, the Yun family might not give her all their assets. After all, the Yun family are from the Great Xia, and they also have adopted sons who will inherit the Yun family in the future.”

"The only way is to kill Yun Xiaohan and leave the Yun family without a successor."

They also killed everyone in the Yun family, leaving only Yun Xiyue alive.

"When she is all alone and helpless, she can only rely on Third Brother. As long as Third Brother shows her some affection, she will definitely follow you wholeheartedly."

Lin Bao'er's eyes were sinister as she glanced at Lin Huangjin. "If Third Brother can't bear to hurt her, give me some people, and I'm willing to be your blade and lend you a hand."
