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

Chapter 309

"However, this old servant thinks it might still be for the sake of the young lady's marriage."

"I heard that the Yun family is looking for a son-in-law to marry into the family."

Murong Yu smiled. "A son-in-law?"

Could it be that she wants me to marry into her family?

"The Yun family is extremely wealthy, and many people have their eyes on the eldest daughter."

Murong Yu's eyes darkened slightly. "Have Princess Qin go to the Xiao family."

"Go in person."

Eunuch Fu went to see Princess Qin.

Princess Qin went to the Xiao family again, and Xiao Ling'er was summoned back to the Xiao family as soon as she came out of the palace.

The Emperor intended to put pressure on the Xiao family.

This puzzled Xiao Ling'er and the others. "Why is the Emperor so concerned about Yun Xiyue's marriage and forbids her from getting married?"

"We don't know what the Emperor is thinking, but in any case, you should stop interfering in Yun Xiyue's marriage. The Empress Dowager has been making excuses to avoid you."

The Empress Dowager wanted to marry Yunxi Yue off, but the Emperor disagreed.

The Emperor's unusual behavior speaks volumes.

Those in the Xiao family who understood immediately got it.

Xiao Ling'er's expression changed slightly, and she immediately felt unbalanced. Why did Yun Xiaohan like her, and even the Emperor liked her?

What's so great about Yun Xiyue? She's just a divorced woman. Can a woman like that still be considered desirable?

The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to go, so she ran home and confronted Yun Xiaohan.

"You knew all along that the Emperor and Yun Xiyue were having an affair. The Emperor bestowed this marriage upon you because he didn't want you to marry Yun Xiyue. You accepted the marriage and married me for her sake, didn't you?"

Yun Xiaohan frowned. "No matter the reason, we cannot disobey the imperial decree for this marriage. What's the point of you still worrying about this now?"

“If you are unwilling, you can go to the palace and speak to the Emperor. I would never put the Yun family in danger for my own selfish desires.”

Xiao Ling'er said angrily, "But why? To please them, we have to be sacrificed? Are you willing to accept that?"

Yun Xiaohan remained silent.

"Xiao Han, I know you like her. If you want her, I can help you..."

Yun Xiaohan raised his eyes, his gaze icy cold. "What do you want to do?"

"The Empress Dowager doesn't want Yun Xiyue to enter the palace and wants me to arrange her marriage. If I arrange her marriage, you will definitely be unhappy."

"So I thought, why don't you marry her and make her your second wife? That way you can get what you want, and Yun Xiyue can inherit the Yun family. The Yun family won't have to worry about outsiders eyeing the family property. Wouldn't that be killing three birds with one stone?" Xiao Ling'er said with a smile.

Yun Xiaohan's face turned ashen. He closed his eyes briefly, then suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Impossible. Don't even think about such wicked ideas."

"The Emperor will naturally handle the Empress Dowager's situation. You just need to stay at home obediently."

Xiao Ling'er's expression changed slightly. "So, you already knew?"

Yun Xiaohan remained silent.

He was willing to silently protect Yue'er as long as she was happy.

"Don't delve any further. It won't do you any good. The Emperor has already sent people to warn you. If you continue to knowingly violate the rules, you will only harm yourself."

Xiao Ling'er's eyes were red as she cried, "You love her that much? For her, you're even willing to sacrifice your own life's happiness? To marry a woman you don't love?"

"Xiao Ling'er, that's enough!"

Yun Xiaohan released her. "Someone, keep an eye on her. From now on, she is not allowed to leave Moyunxuan even for a moment."

The two had another argument, and Xiao Ling'er was not one to be wronged. Without saying a word, she started fighting with him, but she was no match for the man.

The commotion was quite loud.

Yun Xiyue heard it all and rushed over in the middle of the night to persuade them.

"Brother, sister-in-law, please stop fighting."

Xiao Ling'er felt a surge of anger upon seeing her, shook off Yun Xiaohan, and suddenly attacked her.
