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

Chapter 308

"Miss, the young mistress says she wants to go to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager and would like you to accompany her."

Qingmei immediately retorted angrily, "Is the young mistress doing this on purpose? She knows the Empress Dowager doesn't like Miss. If she wants to go to the palace, she should go by herself. Why does she have to drag Miss along?"

"Should this old servant go and send them away?" said Granny Cao.

Yun Xiyue said, "Mm."

......

"Madam, is she feeling guilty? Does this mean she and the Emperor really have something going on?"

Xiao Ling'er narrowed her eyes slightly, "There's no smoke without fire. The Emperor wouldn't protect her for no reason."

"I'm just curious, when did it start?"

Murong Yu was cold-hearted and aloof from the time he became the crown prince, and he was not interested in any woman.

She initially thought he liked his aunt, Xiao Rongrong.

Because he often came to the Xiao family to practice martial arts.

I had the most contact with my grandfather and aunt.

His aunt was a few years older than him, but they were still a good match.

I never expected that my aunt would later marry the King of Qin, and it was Murong Yu who arranged it all.

"The Emperor refuses to establish an Empress, and I wonder if he is saving her for his beloved."

"But it couldn't be Yun Xiyue! If it were Yun Xiyue, he wouldn't watch her marry Shen Yue."

Xiao Ling'er felt there must be something wrong here, "Go and investigate the Emperor's past."

"Madam, if the Emperor finds out, it will incur his wrath."

Xiao Ling'er snorted, "What's there to be afraid of? I'm just investigating secretly. Besides, if the Emperor and Yun Xiyue are having an affair, Yun Xiaohan must find out about it as soon as possible, otherwise it will implicate the entire Yun family once it comes to light."

"Now that I am Mrs. Yun, we share both glory and loss."

"We must find a way to figure this out."

Let's go to the palace first and then talk.

This was also because the Empress Dowager found her.

"Ling'er, come and sit down." The Empress Dowager smiled kindly.

Xiao Ling'er was unsure why the Empress Dowager wanted to see her, so she answered cautiously.

"Ling'er, why didn't Yun Xiyue come along?"

Xiao Ling'er said, "Yue'er is not feeling well."

"Is it because you're unwell, or are you feeling guilty and don't want to come to the palace to see me?" the Empress Dowager sneered.

Xiao Ling'er frowned. "Empress Dowager, Ling'er doesn't understand why you dislike Yue'er so much. Yue'er is clever and quick-witted, beautiful, and eloquent. She is a very good girl."

"No matter how good she is, she's still a merchant's daughter, remarried, and her heart isn't in it..."

There is currently no conclusive evidence.

The Empress Dowager couldn't very well accuse her of seducing the Emperor. She rubbed her temples and asked, "I heard your second brother wants to marry her?"

“The Yun family only has one daughter. My parents-in-law said they want to find a son-in-law to live with them. My second aunt only has one son, so she can’t bear to part with him,” Xiao Ling’er said truthfully.

In other words, Xiao Ding'an did indeed want to marry Yun Xiyue.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor does not approve of this marriage. My father has already been punished for proposing it, so..." Xiao Ling'er hurriedly stopped the Empress Dowager from bestowing the marriage. Even if Yun Xiyue were to be married off, it could not be to the Xiao family.

Otherwise, you'll anger both men at the same time.

One is Yun Xiaohan, and the other is Murong Yu.

It's also bad for the Xiao family; Yun Xiaohan will hate her even more if he finds out.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I will not bestow a marriage upon you, but as the young mistress of the Yun family, now that your parents-in-law have returned to Yunzhou, you are in charge of the family affairs. As her sister-in-law, you have a responsibility to help her arrange the marriage."

......

"What does Mother want with Xiao Ling'er?"

Eunuch Fu said, "This servant doesn't know either. The people in the Empress Dowager's palace are keeping their mouths shut."
