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

Chapter 311

"and many more."

"Do you think that giving me two million taels of silver will make up for my losses?"

Yun Xiyue sneered, "Then how much do you want?"

"Yun Xiyue, this is a matter between Yun Xiaohan and me. Whether we divorce or not is not for you to decide," Xiao Ling'er said, annoyed.

Yun Xiyue glanced at her and said, "Whether I get married or not is my own business, and it's not your place to decide. Besides, this is my home, and I make the decisions. If you're not satisfied, you can move out."

"you......"

Xiao Ling'er did not expect her to directly tear off the mask.

"I'm your sister-in-law, how dare you treat me like this?"

Yun Xiyue looked at her coldly, "You're not worthy of it. You look down on me, my elder brother, and our Yun family. Like most people in the capital, you think we're merchants, inherently inferior. But you're unwilling to divorce because your Xiao family needs my elder brother's financial support."

"You are no different from the Shen family. So what if you are from a prestigious family? Ha, you are nothing special."

Xiao Ling'er's face immediately stung with pain.

She is right.

The Xiao family is similar to the Shen family; they also owe a lot of money.

No one else knows about this.

Yun Xiaohan found out that last night she threatened him to consummate their marriage, so he threatened her with the secrets of the Xiao family.

I didn't expect Yun Xiyue to know as well.

Xiao Ling'er's face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly powerless.

......

"This letter was sent to the palace."

Yun Xiyue was furious and wanted to see Murong Yu.

After receiving the letter, Murong Yu had other matters to attend to, so he could only come in the evening.

"Ah Yue, did you miss me?" He came in and hugged her.

Yun Xiyue pushed him away, "Your Majesty, you said the Xiao family is a prestigious family with strong character, and Xiao Ling'er is a good woman."

"But do you know what happened? She wasn't."

"Her Xiao family is no different from the Shen family! You're trying to frame our Yun family!"

Seeing her so angry.

Murong Yu frowned and glanced out the window. "What exactly happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow appeared like a ghost and explained the whole story.

“You misunderstand. The Xiao family and the Shen family are different. The Xiao family did owe some money, but they gave away all their wealth to the retired soldiers and the families of the fallen soldiers.”

"Therefore, the Xiao family's debts are huge, unlike the Shen family's."

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "So you're the emperor, and your court doesn't even give your soldiers a pension for risking their lives?"

"Give it."

“Master felt it wasn’t enough, so he added some extra himself,” Murong Yu said.

The Xiao family isn't in business.

Money is limited.

They have to pay out of their own pockets to subsidize the families of the victims, and that's no small amount of money.

“Ah Yue, I didn’t mean to hide this from you. No one knows about the Xiao family. The men of the Xiao family are men of unyielding character, and most of them sacrificed themselves to protect their country. I didn’t want my master to lose another son, so I didn’t allow anyone from the Xiao family to take command of the military.”

The Xiao family now consists of only two branches. Originally, there were five branches, five sons, and many grandsons, but they all died on the battlefield, leaving only General Xiao and the second master of the Xiao family.

Only two grandchildren remain: Xiao Ding'an and Xiao Dingquan.

They have quite a few daughters.

"I did not know that Xiao Ling'er would become so unreasonable because of jealousy. I have considered many aspects regarding the imperial decree to grant this marriage, and I have consulted with my master, Old Master Xiao. He also agrees to this marriage."

"Xiao Ling'er herself is willing, isn't she?"

What's all this fuss about now?

Murong Yu felt a headache coming on.

Yun Xiyue said angrily, "But my elder brother disagrees! I told you long ago not to arrange a marriage, but you insisted on doing so. If the Xiao family needs money, our Yun family can lend it to them."

"Okay, I'll handle this. Don't be angry." Murong Yu helped her sit down.

"I wish to return to Yunzhou for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will grant my request." Yun Xiyue looked up at him calmly.
