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

Chapter 271

I haven't seen Murong Yu since that night.

I heard you've been very busy lately.

"Is Xiaowei back?"

Bei Ye said, "I'm back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingmin led the people in.

The person was also injured.

"What happened?" Yun Xiyue hurriedly asked someone to fetch a doctor.

Xiao Wei said, "There's no need to call a doctor; I can treat my wounds myself. I have something important to report now."

"The Southern Qiang princess seems to be making moves. Recently, she has been in close contact with the wives of generals who have returned from the border."

“Those newly powerful figures were unfamiliar with many things when they first arrived in the capital, and she took the opportunity to win them over. But I felt it wasn’t that simple, so I secretly followed them, but I was discovered and that’s why I was injured.”

"Your subordinate saw that Princess Nanqiang was in contact with the third master of the Chu family. They met in private, and not in the capital, but in the suburbs... It looked like a secret meeting."

After saying that, Xiao Wei spat out a mouthful of blood.

This is poisoning.

Yun Xiyue immediately gave him an antidote, which saved his life.

Xiao Wei fell into a coma, and Bei Ye took him downstairs for treatment.

Yun Xiyue was still shocked by Xiao Wei's words, "This woman Lin Bao'er... could she have made some kind of deal with the third master of the Chu family!"

Granny Cao asked, "Could that woman have seduced the third master of the Chu family?"

This is quite shocking.

Yun Xiyue's eyes widened. "Doesn't she like Shen Yue? Would she cheat on him?"

Granny Cao said, "Knowing that Lord Shen was married, she seduced him and had a child with him. This kind of woman has no morals."

"But she's the princess of Nanqiang! Would a princess do such a thing? Besides, she's not desperate yet! She's got Li Shi and the others under her thumb. She's the one who calls the shots among the women of the Shen family now."

"She has Shen Yue completely under her control. Even if she can't become the wife of the Marquis, she doesn't need to go to such lengths. How old is Third Master Chu? He could be her father."

Granny Cao smiled and said, "Third Master Chu is not that old, he is at most in his early forties."

That was an older man.

Yun Xiyue felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it, unable to understand how Lin Bao'er, a princess, could do such a thing.

She thought she was ruthless, proud, and principled.

I never thought anyone could do it!

"We need to investigate further. Their secret rendezvous is definitely not a good thing. Send someone else to keep an eye on them."

The third prince of the Southern Qiang Kingdom has been keeping a low profile lately, staying in his palace and not interacting with anyone.

I recently said I was leaving.

After leaving Qianjin Palace, he met Murong Yu.

It was all for the sake of seeking a marriage alliance with Yun Xiyue.

Murong Yu did not agree.

"Why won't the Emperor agree? She's just a woman who's been married twice. Does the Emperor want to take her into his harem?" Lin Huangjin said with a smile.

Murong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's the use of the Third Prince just coming to me? You should ask her herself if she's willing."

"For the sake of a marriage alliance between the two countries, her personal consent isn't necessary, is it? I'm truly curious, Your Majesty, as the ruler of a nation, how can you be so indecisive? Shouldn't a ruler prioritize the greater good?"

Murong Yu's eyes darkened slightly. "The Yun family are the imperial merchants of our Great Xia. The Third Prince's desire to marry the Yun family's only daughter is clearly for ulterior motives. If I were to agree to this, it would be disregarding the overall situation."

Lin Huangjin smiled, "Since His Majesty says so, then how about this..."

The two talked in the Imperial Garden.

I don't know what Lin Huangjin said.

Not long after he left the palace, Shen Yue entered the palace and requested that Lin Bao'er be made the official wife.

Murong Yu agreed.

"He agreed?"

Upon learning the news, Yun Xiyue immediately wanted to go to the palace to find him and ask him for clarification.

I met Shen Yue at the entrance of the Imperial Study.

"Yue'er, long time no see."
