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

Chapter 258

Murong Yu handed him the imperial edict, saying, "You are to deliver this edict to the Yun family!"

Qin Mo's face turned ashen; Yun Xiaohan would definitely misunderstand if this happened.

But there's nothing you can do; once someone has made up their mind, it can't be changed.

He took the imperial edict and made a trip.

Yun Xiaohan hesitated to accept the imperial decree. "Your Highness...is this imperial decree His Majesty's will, or yours?"

"Is it heavy?" Qin Mo sighed inwardly. "I am also a subject and cannot influence His Majesty's decision."

“Xiao Han, refusing the imperial decree is disobeying it. You cannot bear the consequences of that crime.”

"I assure you, Ling'er is a good girl."

Yun Xiyue stood up. "Your Highness, I wish to enter the palace."

"The Emperor will not see you," Qin Mo said.

But he had promised her that he wouldn't arrange a marriage for her; he would let her elder brother choose for himself.

How can you break your promise?

Yun Xiyue's face turned ugly. She held her breath and turned to go back into the house.

Yun Xiaohan had no choice but to accept the imperial decree.

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."

Qin Mo glanced at him, then at Yun Xiyue who had run away, and suddenly thought of something, "Um... Xiao Han, do you have someone you like?"

Yun Xiaohan lowered his eyes to look at the imperial edict and smiled, "Your Highness, this issue is no longer important!"

"The Emperor would not bestow a marriage without a reason."

Even if it's just to warn oneself against crossing the line.

But there was no need to grant a marriage; doing so would obviously be somewhat deliberate.

Yun Xiaohan gripped the imperial edict tightly.

Qin Mo sighed and took his leave.

Madam Yun and the others were quite happy and didn't notice anything amiss.

"Han'er, you're not getting any younger! You should have married and had children long ago. This time, the Emperor's bestowal of a marriage is a good thing. The other party is a girl from the Xiao family, and I think she should be a good girl."

"Don't refuse anymore."

Yun Xiaohan remained calm and said, "Yes, thank you for your hard work in arranging my wedding."

"Of course, this child." Madam Yun was very happy and hurriedly ordered people to prepare betrothal gifts to be presented at the Xiao residence.

Yunxi Yue was sulking and didn't come out.

However, upon hearing that Yun Xiaohan had agreed to the marriage, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother isn't unwilling, is he?"

Bei Ye said, "This subordinate does not know what the eldest young master is thinking. The imperial decree has decreed the marriage, and he has no choice but to agree or not."

"Madam is already preparing to go to the Xiao family to present betrothal gifts."

Yun Xiyue was in a bad mood. "Then go and find out what kind of person Xiao Ling'er is, and also find out the background of the Xiao family."

“Miss, don’t worry. Xiao Ling’er is marrying into the Yun family, not the eldest son coming to live with us as a son-in-law.”

"Two million taels of silver. The King of Qin wrote an IOU, and everything has been discussed with the eldest son. You don't need to worry about them swindling the eldest son out of his money."

Yun Xiyue pursed her lips, realizing that he had seen through her thoughts. "I just think that people's hearts are hard to fathom."

Even though it's called a loan, the Prince of Qin's mansion might not be able to repay two million taels.

The only way to provide the Yun family with benefits is through other means as a minimum expenditure.

"Are we going to Wanxiang Temple again tomorrow?"

Yun Xiyue snorted, "Go, I want to ask him what he wants to do."

Even an emperor cannot go back on his word like this.

I was angry all night and didn't sleep well.

The next day, when she woke up, Xiao Rongrong came to pick her up, and they went to Wanxiang Temple together in a carriage from the Qin Prince's Mansion.

The entire Wanxiang Temple was surrounded by the Qin family army, and no one was allowed to enter.

On the surface, it was Qin's queen wishing to pray for blessings.

In reality, it was to protect Murong Yu.
