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

Chapter 30

Shen Ling said, "Mine was bought for me by my mother."

Shen Huan and Shen Yue also said that their mother prepared it for them.

"The banquet is about to begin, sister-in-law, we'd better get going." The three hurriedly climbed into the carriage and left.

Not only did they attend the banquet, but Lin Bao'er and Li Shi also went, dressed in their finest attire.

Yun Xiyue stared at their clothes and jewelry, her eyes dark and brooding. "What's going on?"

If the accountants have no money, then they can't possibly afford to buy jewelry and fabric.

Clothes can be made by the embroiderers of the Marquis's mansion; you just need to buy the fabric. But jewelry has to be bought from outside; a set of jewelry can easily cost over a thousand taels of silver.

Granny Cao said, "I had someone keep an eye on things. The accounts haven't been short of money. The money in the accounts is only enough for the Marquis's household's food and expenses this month. They don't dare to touch it casually. The embroidery workshop hasn't bought any new fabric recently."

"It looks like the clothes were custom-made outside, and the jewelry was bought from Jin Yu Man Tang."

If you don't have the money, you can buy on credit; just have someone settle the bill with the Marquis's residence later.

Yun Xiyue sneered, "That's none of their business. They want to be like the old master, spending lavishly outside and having someone else foot the bill when they come back. How wishful thinking."

No wonder there hasn't been any trouble these past few days; it turns out they came up with this solution.

Granny Cao stayed behind to look after the house.

Qingmei went out with her.

"Madam, the young lady and the others are ungrateful wretches."

"You treat them so well, yet they never invite you to any banquets in the capital."

Lady Li even gave the invitation meant for Yun Xiyue directly to Lin Bao'er, and took Lin Bao'er to attend the Princess's banquet.

He even said he treated his wife like his own daughter.

Qingmei grew angrier and angrier, so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode, and she couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.

Yun Xiyue remained calm and composed. In her past life, she had truly been foolish, working like a slave for their family. In the five years since she came to the capital, besides managing the household affairs in the Marquis's mansion, she had only thought about how to make money. She had only attended one palace banquet, which was only allowed to be attended by the Marquis's wife because she was obliged to do so.

She had never attended any other banquets in the capital. At first, she thought that these powerful and influential people in the capital looked down on her merchant background and that's why they didn't invite her.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all. It was Li who deliberately prevented her from associating with the powerful and influential people in the capital and did not allow her to enter this aristocratic circle.

In her past life, she was all alone in the capital, without a single friend, and was tortured to death by the Shen family.

"Going to a banquet with them might not be a good thing. Birds of a feather flock together."

"Next time, we'll go to the banquet ourselves."

For the future, she needs to make friends with these kinds of people, like Princess Qin.

Next month is the full moon celebration for the little princess of the Prince of Qin's mansion.

Qingmei said, "Madam is right."

"Hmm, don't be angry, eat something to calm down." Yun Xiyue handed her a piece of peach blossom cake.

Qingmei immediately beamed with joy, "Thank you, Madam. You are so kind, Madam. I am so lucky to be able to follow you. The Marquis is truly blind."

Yunxi treated the servants very well, like family, but Qinghe was ungrateful.

Do not live by sin.

"My elder brother isn't here. Where did he go?" Upon arriving at Fuyun Tower, Yun Xiaohan was nowhere to be found.

Shopkeeper Qian said, "Young master, I took the gifts to the Prince of Qin's residence."

"Miss, you can wait for the young master. He may be back soon."

Manager Qian felt that the Prince of Qin might not be willing to meet Yun Xiaohan, given the powerful and influential families in the capital. They had tried to make connections with the powerful and influential in the capital, but had been turned away many times.

Or you might encounter a greedy person, lose a lot of money, and even if you befriend them, it won't make a difference.

Prince Qin was incorruptible and upright, a breath of fresh air in the capital. Many people wanted to befriend him, but none succeeded.

Yun Xiyue said, "Then I'll come another day. Tell my elder brother not to associate with the Shen family anymore, and also tell the Yun family that I'm doing well in the capital and they don't need to worry."

Shopkeeper Qian was stunned. The matter between Marquis An and Princess Nanqiang had been widely discussed for a long time. He was worried about Yun Xiyue, and he was quite surprised to see her say these words so calmly today.

"Miss... don't be stubborn, the young master is very worried about you."
