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

Chapter 290

Yun Xiyue glanced outside and heard the sounds of fighting.

Dozens of men in black emerged from the alleyway of Yunfu Villa.

Xiao Wei alone was no match for them.

"Ye'er, go help Xiao Wei."

Bei Ye gripped the sword hilt tightly. "No, I want to stay by your side and protect you."

"These people are after you."

"Brother Wei must also hope that I should protect you."

Yun Xiyue said, "Then you escort me off the carriage, I'll go back to the villa first."

“We have guards when we arrive at the villa. Lead them over.”

Bei Ye nodded, picked her up, jumped off the carriage, and used his light-footed skill to leap onto the roof.

As expected, when the other party discovered that she was running away, they immediately ignored Xiao Wei and chased after her.

The villa is not far from here.

“We can’t go back to the villa…” Yun Xiyue suddenly realized something was wrong. The other party had been lying in wait for a long time, so they must have been to the villa and found that she was not there, so they were waiting here to ambush her.

Wouldn't she be walking into a trap if she went back?

"Miss......"

Just then, Qingmei and the others' voices came from inside.

The next carriage was occupied, and both Granny Cao and Qingmei were captured.

"Miss Yun, come with us, or we can't guarantee that nothing will happen to the people at the Yun residence." The other party had taken Qingmei and the others hostage, implying that if she didn't obey, they would go and capture her parents.

"Put me down."

Bei Ye said, "Miss, you mustn't."

Yun Xiyue couldn't bear to watch Qingmei and the others die.

He had no choice but to put her down.

"Miss Yun, please get into the carriage."

Yun Xiyue said, "Release my people first."

“As long as you keep quiet, we will release them once you reach the outskirts of the city.”

"it is good."

Yunxi Yue boarded the carriage.

The other side immediately withdrew with their men, forbidding Bei Ye and Xiao Wei from following them, saying, "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill them."

Yun Xiyue told them all to go back.

It was almost dawn, just as the city gates were about to open.

Qingmei used her mouth to bite the rope for her.

Granny Cao, keeping watch, was on tenterhooks, her heart pounding in her throat. She could only hope that Qingmei would put in more effort and bite through the rope quickly.

......

The city gate.

"Wait, what's in here?"

"Sir, these are goods; you see, they are all fabrics."

After one night, they switched to a different group of merchants.

Yun Xiyue was gagged, tied up, and stuffed into a sealed box.

The three people squeezed together.

Almost suffocating.

Qingmei was covered in sweat and could barely hold on; her mouth was full of blood, and she fainted.

Upon hearing the sound, Yun Xiyue suddenly slammed into the alley.

Granny Cao was also knocked down.

"What's that sound?" the officer asked immediately upon hearing the noise.

"Sir...please be lenient with me." The man took out a bag of silver and stuffed it into the other person's hand.

The officer glanced at it and pretended not to hear.

"No problem, you can go now!"

Yunxiyue kept bumping into things.

If he angered the other party, he would take out a dagger and stab the box.

Granny Cao shielded her, letting out a muffled groan.

"be honest!"

Yunxi Yue was exhausted.

The smell of blood made me worry about Granny Cao.

"Halt! Close the city gates!"

At this moment, a guard appeared on horseback, carrying an imperial edict: "By order of the Emperor, the city gates are closed, and no one is allowed to leave. Everyone must be checked."

Just as they were about to reach the city gate, the caravan was detained.

Immediately afterwards, a group of palace guards appeared and sealed off the city gates.

"What's inside? Open everything!"
