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

Chapter 268

The eldest princess and her husband were banished from the capital, and the Xu family was exiled.

Everyone was shocked and couldn't understand why the prince consort would assassinate the emperor. Wasn't that courting death?

And the Xu family, how did the Xu family get involved?

"If the Liu family is unharmed, then it means that only the Xu family and the prince consort were involved."

"It is said that the Second Young Mistress of Pei suffered a miscarriage."

A few days later, the storm passed.

It refers to Xiao Ling'er and Yun Xiaohan getting married.

Yun Xiyue had not yet met her future sister-in-law, so she took the opportunity of delivering the dowry to the Xiao residence.

Princess Qin had specifically returned to give instructions that Yun Xiyue should not be neglected.

Madam Xiao then came to greet her warmly, "Miss Yun, please come in. There are quite a few young ladies here today. Ling'er is with them in the backyard and can't get away."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Auntie, we'll be family soon, no need to be so polite. Just call me Xiyue from now on."

Madam Xiao smiled and said, "Very good, Xiyue, Ling'er is very happy that you could come."

"Has Ling'er met my elder brother?"

"I have met him. My girl likes to run around. She went to the military camp with her father in the capital. She met Young Master Yun on the road once."

Yun Xiyue was relieved after hearing this.

They arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Ling'er lived.

There were many young ladies from prominent families, including Qi Yumin. It seemed that this woman was very shrewd and had a wide circle of friends, able to become friends with anyone.

“Sister Ling’er, you are the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, skilled in both literature and martial arts. You deserve a better man. It’s a pity that if it weren’t for the Emperor’s bestowal of marriage… it would be so nice for you to be my sister-in-law!” Qi Yumin said, holding Xiao Ling’er’s arm.

Compared to her gorgeous clothes and jeweled ornaments, Xiao Ling'er's attire was much simpler, with a neat high ponytail and only a jade hairpin.

"Ling'er."

Madam Xiao coughed lightly.

"Mother." Xiao Ling'er broke free from Qi Yumin and walked over. She knew who Yun Xiyue was just by looking at her.

Madam Xiao gave a few instructions and then left.

Xiao Ling'er pulled her into the house, "I've been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. Ever since the engagement, my mother has not let me go out."

"That's the rule, there's nothing we can do about it. You can go out after you and your older brother get married in a few days."

Several girls were gathered together, chatting and laughing.

"Young Master Yun is handsome and refined. Ling'er is truly blessed."

Xiao Ling'er, who was usually carefree, couldn't help but blush at this moment. "You will meet even better husbands in the future."

"That's not necessarily true. Miss Yun was just unlucky in love. Not everyone is so lucky," Qi Yumin said.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Everyone knows that Yunxi Yue has divorced. Women who have been divorced are not well-regarded by others, except for merchants who don't mind.

Xiao Ling'er frowned slightly, "Minmin..."

Qi Yumin laughed and said, "I was just saying. Miss Yun doesn't care anymore. She's not the one in the wrong. It's Lord Shen who started it and then abandoned her, isn't that right, Miss Yun?"

"If you're angry, I'll apologize."

Yun Xiyue stepped forward to support her, "I'm not angry. Miss Qi is right. Not everyone has such good luck."

"However, my elder brother will definitely treat Ling'er well and will never abandon her after starting something."

Qi Yumin's expression changed slightly.

Xiao Ling'er blushed again, "I've had some snacks prepared, let's all sit down and enjoy them!"

"These are pastries from Yunji Dim Sum Shop, right?"

There are pastries such as osmanthus cake and white jade cake.
