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

Chapter 276

They're shouting outside that they're going to pick up the bride.

Yun Xiaohan went out on horseback and led the wedding procession to the Xiao residence.

Guests arrived one after another.

The couple from Yunnan greeted him together, showering him with congratulations. Both were beaming with joy, truly embodying the spirit of happiness.

"Sister Xiyue." Wan Jiaojiao and Zhou Yan came together.

"Jiaojiao."

"Lord Zhou, please come in."

Seeing Zhou Yan reminds me of Zhou Zhilan; I wonder if her face has been exposed yet.

Confined to the inner palace and tightly controlled by Pei Fang, it would be difficult for her to make any moves.

Yun Xiyue led the two into the house, and then Zhang Chuhuan came over to greet her. Everyone who came today was either a noble or a wealthy person from the capital.

Most of them came because of the Xiao family.

"Congratulations!" Qi Yuyan and Pei Shang said together.

"Thank you."

Qi Yuyan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, when are you planning to get married?"

"Ayu!" Pei Shang coughed lightly, signaling him to watch his words; how could he ask a young lady so directly?

Qi Yuyan, however, did not think that Yun Xiyue would blush like those ladies from prominent families when this topic was brought up; after all, she was a woman who had been married twice.

"A woman will get married sooner or later."

Yun Xiyue said, "Then there's no need for you to worry about it, Young Master Qi."

"I heard you and my sister had a fight?"

He hadn't mentioned it, and Yun Xiyue had forgotten about it. She looked him up and down and asked, "So, Young Master Qi is here today to steal the bride?"

Qi Yuyan was both amused and exasperated. "What nonsense are you talking about? If I liked Xiao Ling'er, it probably wouldn't be your older brother's turn."

Are you that confident?

Seeing that he looked decent enough, Yun Xiyue didn't make fun of him.

“It’s Minmin’s fault. I’m here to apologize to you on her behalf. Minmin and Xiao Ling’er are best friends, and they have a very good relationship. Minmin really likes her as a friend. She just wanted to take it upon herself to make Xiao Ling’er her sister-in-law.”

"Actually, it's all a misunderstanding. Minmin is not a bad person. I hope Miss Yun will forgive her this time."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "I can forgive him this once for Young Master Qi's sake."

"Please take your seats, both of you."

This was Qi Yuyan's first visit to the Yun residence.

Compared to the Qi family, it's not bad.

They are all top-tier merchants, and their wealth far surpasses that of the powerful and wealthy in the capital.

Those who visited the Yun family mansion were amazed by the wealth of the merchants, for their mansion was as luxurious as could be.

It made people drool and feel incredibly jealous.

With such wealth now tied to the power of the Xiao family, they are likely to secure their position as imperial merchants and remain the fourth largest family in the capital.

Most of the people who came to the wedding banquet were there to test the Yun family's background. Now that the emperor has bestowed the marriage, it shows that the emperor intends to support the Yun family.

People from the three major families of Qi, Liu, and Han all came, but the heads of the families did not.

A young master from the Qi family came to the wedding banquet, while the Han family, being more low-key, sent their female relatives. Madam Han brought her eldest daughter to attend the banquet.

The remaining members of the Liu family seemed somewhat hostile, as only one wife from the second branch of the family came.

Outsiders may not know what happened, but the Yun family does. The confiscation of the Xu family's property and their exile, as well as the departure of the prince consort and princess from the capital, are all related to Yun Xiyue.

Madam Xu, the mother of Liu Da Madam and Liu Fu Madam, naturally would not come to the Yun residence.

It is clear that they do not approve of this suddenly emerging fourth major family.

"You've written it all down?"
