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

Chapter 295

The Marquis's mansion was always short of funds each month, so they had to secretly pawn valuables to make ends meet.

Now they only have some clothes and jewelry left, but how long can these last? Shen Yue has lost his official position and will have no salary. How will he support his family?

The Shen family is notorious. What Shen Yue and Old Madam Shen did to Yun Xiyue was truly shocking.

No wonder Yun Xiyue loathed the Shen family and was determined to leave them. They were so insidious and immoral. If the Yun family hadn't been so weak, the powerful figures in the capital would have probably killed the Shen family long ago.

From now on, the powerful and influential people in the capital will no longer associate with the Shen family, let alone marry their daughters into such a family.

Zhou Yan approached Master Shen, saying, "Uncle, you can separate the family property. Only by doing so can you sever all ties."

Master Shen realized that only by dividing the family property could they receive the official residence. His son, Shen Lang, was about to take the imperial examination, and he couldn't let this matter ruin his future.

The second and third branches of the Shen family immediately proposed dividing the family property.

The patriarchs of the third and second wives still hold official positions.

But the old lady did not agree to divide the family property.

How did the eldest son's family manage after the family split up?

When Shen Yue returned from the palace, he also disagreed with dividing the family property. "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, do you really think the Emperor will grant you official residences if we divide the family property now? The reason the Emperor punished the Shen family and stripped them of their titles is because..."

He sighed, not wanting to mention it at all.

"His Majesty detests unfilial and heartless people the most. You have abandoned our main branch at this time. If His Majesty knows that you are not loyal and have questionable character, will he still value you in the future?"

Master Shen sneered, "You don't need to speak so righteously. The Shen family's current situation is all your fault."

“You are the one with questionable character, and the Emperor will punish you, not us.”

Master Shen had long been itching to speak out: "That's right, if you hadn't insisted on marrying the Southern Qiang princess, how could our Shen family be where we are today? Yun Xiyue was so wonderful in the past! She devoted herself to the Shen family, and after marrying you, she waited for you at home, living as a widow for five years because of you."

“But you had a child with the Southern Qiang princess at the border, told outsiders that she was your wife, and even went to the emperor to ask for a decree to demote your wife to a concubine. The emperor has long been dissatisfied with you.”

"Now that the marquisate is gone, how can you face the ancestors of the Shen family?"

Shen Yue was pale; he had vomited blood twice today.

After hearing what they said, I felt even more remorseful.

Unable to accept it, he suddenly vomited blood again.

He collapsed at the entrance of the Marquis's residence.

Everyone pointed and whispered as they watched this scene.

Feeling ashamed, the Shen family quickly left with their people.

They first settled down at one of the Shen family's estates.

......

Upon learning of the Shen family's tragic situation.

Yun Xiyue was immediately in a great mood, and her illness was cured in an instant.

"Lin Bao'er's martial arts were crippled by Shen Yue. The Emperor will not allow her to die. The Shen family will not kill her, but they will vent their resentment over losing their title on her alone."

"From now on, you'll only suffer a fate worse than death."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "So, Chu San was only demoted?"

"After all, General Chu is protecting him," Bei Ye said.

Murong Yu has his own considerations when he does things.

The Chu family had a distinguished military record.

It's not good to impose heavy penalties.

Chu family.

"Brother, I know I was wrong."

General Chu wanted to punch him, "Fool! Don't you understand yet? We've been set up! Someone wants to use us to deal with the Shen family!"

“I received a letter saying you had been kidnapped, which is why you went to the cabin.”

Chu San stole someone else's wife, and not wanting anyone to know, he didn't even bring his trusted confidants; he went out alone to have an affair with Lin Bao'er.

He fell into the trap because he was worried about his brother's safety. Just then, the letter arrived and both the King of Qin and Shen Yue were present.

When they found out, they came together to rescue the people.

Clearly, someone had planned this all along, knowing everything, including Lin Bao'er's departure from the manor and Chu San's whereabouts, and that's why they deliberately sent such a letter.

"Your actions have been known to everyone for a long time!" General Chu kicked him in the chest. "I'm asking you, was Miss Yun's kidnapping orchestrated?"

Chu San's expression changed slightly. "No... it was me."

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you."

After being yelled at by his elder brother, Chu San dared not hide anything any longer and told the whole story.

General Chu's forehead veins bulged; he had just mocked the King of Qin for having a good-for-nothing brother, and now he was getting his comeuppance.

"Idiot! Bring everyone back right now!"

"We can't turn back now. Those people have all been arrested and interrogated by Yun Xiaohan. He doesn't know where he took them. I sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find anything." Chu San was agitated. This meeting with Lin Bao'er was to discuss this matter.

If the Yun family gets hold of the evidence, they probably won't let it go easily.
