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

Chapter 280

"Sister-in-law." Yun Xiyue walked over.

Xiao Ling'er forced a smile, "Xi Yue. Are you here to see Xiao Han? It's a pity he just left."

"I know my elder brother has left the manor; he came specifically to find you."

"Looking for me? What do you want?" Xiao Ling'er didn't want to talk to her for fear that she would lose her temper.

"Want to go horseback riding together?"

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Yun Xiyue didn't dare to ask directly.

"Okay!"

Xiao Ling'er smiled and said, "My second sister and cousin also want to go to the horse farm."

"Then I'll make the arrangements." Yun Xiyue had someone book the horse farm.

Xiao Ling'er made an excuse to go back and change her clothes and left, not intending to go with her.

“Miss, the young mistress is going to the Xiao family to pick up the second and third young ladies. You can wait for us at the horse farm first,” Green Sandalwood said, bowing to her.

Watching the person leave, Qingmei, not understanding, asked, "Miss, didn't you come to explain to the young mistress?"

"Her attitude clearly shows that she believes what her two younger sisters said and is deliberately distancing herself from me."

Yun Xiyue casually picked a rose. "If I explain now, it would be a cover-up, and she might not believe me."

"What should I do?"

"Let's go to the horse farm first."

If it were her, she would investigate first.

Since Xiao Ling'er wants to return to the Xiao family, she must be going to investigate.

Qingmei said, "Miss, I also want to go out of the manor with you. It's always Beiye who accompanies you."

"What, are you worried about losing your position as the eldest daughter?" Yun Xiyue said with a smile.

"No, that's not true! I haven't spent time with you in so long."

"Okay, let's go together then. Let's call Granny Cao, bring some food, and go for a walk to clear our heads."

She booked the entire horse ranch; it was just her and the Xiao family there.

However, after arriving for half a day, they still hadn't seen Xiao Ling'er and her two sisters at the horse farm.

"Miss, the young mistress and the others are still at the Xiao family. It seems they don't plan to come." Bei Ye reported back after returning from her trip.

Yun Xiyue sat on horseback, expressionless, with a slight smile on her lips: "Let her be! We'll do our own thing."

Bei Ye also mounted his horse.

Qingmei grabbed his horse's reins. "Xiao Bei, I can't ride a horse. Can you teach me?"

Bei Ye was dressed in men's clothing today, wearing a mask and all black attire, making him stand out from the other guards.

In particular, he was aloof and didn't talk much.

"I'm going to protect Miss. Let Brother Wei teach you!" With that, he spurred his horse and galloped away.

Disappointment showed in Qingmei's eyes.

"Stop looking, Xiao Bei isn't interested in you. He's only thinking about protecting Miss," Xiao Wei said as he came over.

Qingmei snorted and ignored him.

In the evening, the group returned to the capital.

Yunxi Yue rode a horse directly.

"Miss, Madam Xiao has arrived." The steward came over, took her horse, and handed it to a servant to be taken to the stable.

Yun Xiyue frowned slightly. "Has my eldest brother returned?"

"No! Madam Xiao is here to arrange a marriage for you."

Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly, "A matchmaker?"

She thought Xiao Ling'er was going back to file a complaint and investigate, but she didn't expect that Xiao Ling'er wanted to get married herself.

"Mother." She hurried into the mica house.

"Yue'er, you're back."

Xiao Ling'er stood up first, took her hand, and smiled, "I'm so sorry, I was chatting with my mother and the others after I got home and forgot about our appointment at the horse farm. My aunt is here."

"You won't blame me!"

Yun Xiyue said, "I don't blame my sister-in-law."

"Greetings, Aunt Xiao."
