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

Chapter 286

Master Xiao also regretted it, but he regretted it because he was temporarily blinded by greed, wanting his son to marry Yun Xiyue and wanting the support of the Yun family's wealth to revitalize the Xiao family army.

Although his daughter married Yun Xiaohan, he was not the heir.

Useless.

That's why I set my sights on Yunxi Yue.

The Emperor saw right through his thoughts and gave him a severe beating. If it weren't for General Xiao's sake, the Emperor would probably have beaten him to death.

"Can you please stop talking? The Xiao family has been much worse off since losing its military power. Now, the men of our Xiao family are being called idle and lazy. Does that make you feel good?"

Xiao Rongrong felt bad. "But brother, won't the Emperor be even more suspicious of our family if you do this?"

"If the Qin family and the Xiao family simultaneously hold military power, would the Emperor agree to it?"

They all knew how intelligent the Emperor was.

She felt that it was enough that the Xiao family had lived peacefully and quietly for so many years.

Once an emperor harbors inappropriate thoughts, he becomes ruthless and loses all affection for his mentor!

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Ling'er rushed home.

But on the way, they met someone.

“Miss Xiao… no, I should call you Young Master Yun now.”

Xiao Ling'er frowned slightly as she looked at the newcomer. "What do you want with me?"

"Of course I have to tell you a secret. The reason why the Emperor was angry with your father is because your father asked the Emperor for a decree to grant you a marriage. He wanted your elder brother to marry Yun Xiyue."

"Do you think the Xiao family had ulterior motives? But you're wrong. Think about it carefully. What's the real reason? It's because your Xiao family did have ulterior motives, but the reason behind it isn't what you think."

"The Emperor truly cares about a woman." The man left without stating this directly.

Xiao Ling'er found it strange and was in a hurry to return to her residence, so she didn't chase after him. However, the man's words kept echoing in her ears.

After leaving the Xiao family, she went to the Yun family villa.

"Sister-in-law."

"Xi Yue, why did you harm our family?" Xiao Ling'er was furious.

Yun Xiyue said, "Sister-in-law, please sit down and talk slowly."

"What else is there to say? You did it on purpose, taking advantage of the fact that the Emperor treats your Yun family differently. You deliberately left the Yun residence, hoping the Emperor would step in and avenge you. The Emperor punished my father because of you."

Xiao Ling'er grew angrier as she spoke. This matter was related to Yun Xiyue. The person who reminded her was saying that the Emperor punished her father because of Yun Xiyue.

"Sister-in-law, I think you've misunderstood."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you know in your heart. Yun Xiyue, I thought you were a good girl. I wanted to marry into the Yun family and become an enviable sister-in-law with you. But I didn't expect you to be so scheming. Not only did you manage to get my aunt to always speak well of you, but even the Emperor is on your side. You really have some skills."

"I'm telling you, if you hurt my dad again, I'll never forgive you."

After venting her anger, Xiao Ling'er turned and left without giving her a chance to speak.

"Miss, this... Young Madam is simply acting inexplicably!"

Yun Xiyue said, "Let her go."

Xiao Ling'er was just unhappy.

It's just that they probably won't be able to become friends in the future.

"Bei Ye, do me a favor." Yun Xiyue's eyes revealed a cold glint.

Since Lin Bao'er loves to stir up trouble behind people's backs so much...

She always has to retaliate.

Shen House.

Lin Bao'er was pleased to hear from her servant that Xiao Ling'er had gone to find Yun Xiyue, and that she should not touch her now.

It might upset her, but it's a good thing that the Yun family and the Xiao family have become enemies.

"Master Hou."

Just then, the sound of a maid bowing could be heard from outside.

"All go out."

Shen Yue stormed in, furious.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Lin Bao'er rose from the chaise longue and stepped forward to greet him in a gentle voice.

Shen Yue coldly replied, "Don't touch me."
