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

Chapter 278

"Elder sister, we also hope it's false, but there's no smoke without fire. This news is so well-documented that it's hard not to suspect it."

We're telling you this so you'll be more careful.

Xiao Ling'er felt uneasy. "I understand. This matter should not be mentioned again. You should all go back now."

The two girls nodded.

Whether it's true or not, we'll find out soon enough by testing it.

After the guests left.

Yun Xiaohan has arrived at the new house.

The intoxicating aroma of alcohol wafted towards him, adding a touch of rosiness to his pale face, which made his red robes and brocade robes appear exceptionally bright and handsome.

Xiao Ling'er stared at him intently, never imagining that one day she would get her wish and marry the man she loved.

"Husband..."

They didn't have much interaction, and Yun Xiaohan didn't even know that the two had met before.

"Well, sit down."

She sat on the edge of the bed, while he sat on a chair beside her.

“I know you are marrying me, a merchant of low status, because of an imperial decree. I am truly ashamed and unworthy of Miss Xiao. But since it is an imperial decree, neither of us can disobey it.”

"For the sake of the Xiao and Yun families, I will respect your wishes. If you find someone you love in the future, I will let you leave, but we can only get a divorce in at least three years."

Xiao Ling'er froze, as if struck by lightning. The words of her two younger sisters echoed in her ears, making her suddenly nervous and uneasy. She clenched her palms. "Husband, there's no need to belittle yourself. Our Xiao family will not look down on anyone because of their background. You and I are husband and wife now, so we are equals."

besides......

She wanted to say that she wasn't forced; she had long admired him.

But the man's expression was indifferent, showing no sign of joy, which prevented her from speaking.

"Okay, it's settled then." Yun Xiaohan got up and took a blanket from the closet; he would sleep on the floor tonight.

There was no intention to consummate the marriage.

Xiao Ling'er froze, momentarily at a loss for words. "What do you mean?"

Yun Xiaohan explained the situation to her while making the bed.

......

The next day, tea was served.

Yun Xiyue arrived at her mother's room early in the morning.

Yun's father and mother were very happy and looked forward to drinking their daughter-in-law's tea.

"No rush, the young couple is newly married."

"Breakfast is warm, so please prepare an extra serving of osmanthus cake, as the young mistress loves it," Madam Yun said with a smile.

The servants busily prepared a large, exquisite, and delicious breakfast.

After a while, Yun Xiaohan brought his new bride to serve tea.

The two looked very well-matched. Xiao Ling'er wore a gorgeous dress, which made her look more charming and alluring as a bride.

Although her appearance isn't stunning, she has striking features and a very spirited look.

"Father, mother."

"Hey!"

After the two served tea, Yun's parents happily gave each of them a large red envelope, and also prepared a gift for Xiao Ling'er.

After accepting the gift, Xiao Ling'er stood up and glanced at Yun Xiyue. At this moment, she should have given her sister-in-law Yun Xiyue a gift, which she had carefully prepared. But now, seeing her, she felt a mix of emotions.

"Sister-in-law." Yun Xiyue silently wished the two of them well and was happy for them.

Xiao Ling'er's expression was unnatural, and her tone was indifferent, "Well, this is a gift for Yue'er when we meet. I hope you won't mind."

She hid it well, her face full of smiles.

There seemed to be no problem, but Yun Xiyue could sense her hostility.
