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

Chapter 304

"Why aren't you going back again?" Madam Yun was still kept in the dark.

Yun Xiyue glanced at her father, who winked at her. "When we went to the palace yesterday, the Emperor said that we should be the ones to find the Ghost Hand."

“I’m worried about you two going back to Yunzhou, so I’ll go back with you. Yue’er will stay here to help Han’er.”

Since it's the Emperor's will, there's nothing we can do.

"Han'er, your father and I need to go back to Yunzhou. Our roots are still in our hometown, and I won't feel at ease if we don't go back to see it."

"Then the capital and Yue'er will be in your hands."

Yun Xiaohan said, "Father and Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Yue'er."

"And Ling'er." Madam Yun stepped forward and took Xiao Ling'er's hand. "You two must take good care of yourselves, Ling'er. You are her sister-in-law. If anything happens in the future, and Han'er isn't home, you can discuss it with Yue'er."

“There are only three of you children in our family. You should get along well and take care of each other.”

Xiao Ling'er said, "Mother, don't worry, Xiao Han and I will take good care of Yue'er."

"That's good."

"Han'er, don't always think about being busy. Money can never be earned enough. Come back and spend more time with Ling'er when you have time. Try to give our Yun family a big, healthy grandson next year," Madam Yun said expectantly.

After giving a few instructions, he set off from Beijing.

Last night, Murong Yu promised her that he would send someone to secretly escort her parents back to Yunzhou.

Yunxi Yue has nothing to worry about.

After her parents passed away, her older brother often had to go out to socialize and manage the shop, leaving only her and Xiao Ling'er at home.

"Moon, what exactly happened in the Empress Dowager's palace that day?" Xiao Ling'er kept wondering, the Emperor's attitude was very puzzling.

“There was some misunderstanding before; the Empress Dowager doesn’t like me,” Yun Xiyue said.

"What misunderstanding? Is it between you and the Emperor?"

Yun Xiyue shook her head. "I don't know either."

"That's strange. I felt that the Emperor came specifically to protect you that day. I've known the Emperor for a long time and have known him for a long time. I've never seen him so eager to protect someone."

"The Emperor is always aloof, yet he's actually arguing with the Empress Dowager over a woman. Let alone the Empress Dowager, even I'm starting to wonder if the Emperor has feelings for you!"

The tone seemed like a joke.

Yun Xiyue's palms tightened. "Sister-in-law, have you misunderstood me too? What is the Emperor's status, and what is mine? How could the Emperor possibly fall in love with me? That's impossible."

"Hmm..." Xiao Ling'er looked at her and smiled, "You two are not a good match in terms of status, but you are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, which is a pity... your status is indeed a bit too low."

"But it's alright. There's nothing good about going to the palace. You'll be the heir of the Yun family in the future, so you can find a son-in-law to live with you. The imperial examinations are coming up soon, and there will be many students coming to the capital to take them. I'll ask my father to keep an eye out for you. If there's a good man, he'll bring him back for you to see."

“You can’t be too picky. After all, you’ve been married before. If you’re too picky, I won’t be able to find a good match.”

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Xiao Ling'er smiled and said she had something to do, so she took her people back.

"Miss, what's wrong with the young mistress? Is she deliberately trying to annoy you?" Qingmei was furious and wished she could smear Xiao Ling'er's mouth with mud.

If it weren't for her sister-in-law...

Yun Xiyue wouldn't give her any leeway, "Let her be!"

“As soon as Madam and Master left, she started bullying you. We have to tell the eldest young master about this,” Qingmei said angrily.

"Don't bother your brother, he's very busy right now."

Yun Xiyue was a little worried, "Do you think my brother doesn't want to marry Xiao Ling'er? She's unhappy now, so she takes it out on me. If she were happy, she definitely wouldn't be like this."

“When I first went to the Xiao residence, I could tell she liked my eldest brother and was very willing to accept the arranged marriage.”

Qingmei said, "It's all the fault of those gossipy people who made the young mistress prejudiced and misunderstand that the eldest young master likes you and that he's too busy to spend time with her. She's probably feeling uncomfortable about it."
