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

Chapter 315

He's just like Yun Xiyue.

He said that if she regretted it, they could get a divorce and he would compensate her.

The Yun family is not short of money, but the Xiao family is.

If they really fall out and get a divorce, the Yun family will offer money, and the Xiao family will probably agree to the divorce.

But Xiao Ling'er was unwilling to accept it!

Yun Xiaohan said, "Our marriage was arranged by imperial decree. If I wanted to marry you, I wouldn't have needed an imperial decree in the first place. You should have known from the beginning that I have no feelings for you."

"You should know that the King of Qin has arranged a match for us!"

Xiao Ling'er's expression froze.

She knew that she was secretly pleased at that time.

But he refused.

She thought he rejected her because he felt he was not good enough for her, the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family.

Little did they know that he had someone else in his heart and was unwilling to marry, even if the person who was betrothed to him was not her, but someone else.

It's all the same to Yun Xiaohan.

Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but shed tears.

"I was stupid..."

Yun Xiaohan took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "We have no feelings for each other anymore. Since things have come to this, we can only be a respectful couple. Is that difficult for you?"

"If you can't accept it, I've already said I'll help you pay off the Xiao family's debts. It's an imperial decree for marriage, and neither you nor I can disobey it."

Xiao Ling'er was stunned. Didn't he know that she liked him?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Yun Xiaohan went into the room first.

Ask someone close to her to persuade her.

Granny Jia said, "Madam, given the current situation, the eldest young lady hasn't pursued the matter, and the eldest young master has forgiven your recklessness yesterday. I think it's best not to upset the young master any further."

"No matter what, Miss is still Young Master's sister. You shouldn't have acted impulsively and attacked her..."

Xiao Ling'er thought about what Yun Xiyue had said.

That day she said that she didn't really like Yun Xiyue and was only thinking about herself.

"Granny, I like him. He can't tell..."

Granny Jia asked in confusion, "With you crying and making such a fuss, the eldest young master probably just thinks you're unwilling to accept this!"

In her opinion, she didn't think Xiao Ling'er liked Yun Xiaohan.

"Aren't you unhappy because the young master lied to you?"

Xiao Ling'er: "..."

Inside the house, the man sat at the dining table waiting for her.

Yun Xiaohan's snow-blue brocade robe accentuated his jade-like face; he was truly handsome, especially with his icy and snow-like aura.

She really liked it.

"Have you thought it through?" Yun Xiaohan looked up at her.

Xiao Ling'er blushed immediately, "What do you mean, 'have you thought it through yet'? You and your brother teamed up to bully me."

“Yun Xiyue was really fierce just now, but you weren’t there, so you didn’t see it.”

Yun Xiaohan said, "You're quite good at turning the tables. Didn't you bully Yue'er first? You almost hurt her yesterday, and she didn't even hold it against you."

"I'm sorry! I already apologized to her today... but she was just as mean to me as you were." She cried again as she spoke.

"Even if you don't like me, shouldn't you protect me? I'm your lawfully wedded wife."

Xiao Ling'er is just that kind of person; she speaks her mind. She just wants him to care for her more.

Yun Xiaohan frowned. "Since you've apologized and Yue'er has forgiven you, then stop crying."

"Ah."

I finally managed to have breakfast.

"What does the Empress Dowager want with you?"

Xiao Ling'er didn't argue with him anymore, and her tone became gentler. "The Empress Dowager asked me to find a husband for Yun Xiyue to marry into the family."

What should I do?

Yun Xiaohan glanced at her. "The Emperor has sent people to warn the Xiao family. I think the Emperor's intentions can no longer be kept secret. Do you think we should still listen to the Empress Dowager at this time?"

The Emperor has taken a fancy to Yue'er, who dares to marry the woman the Emperor wants!

Xiao Ling'er was immediately frightened and grabbed his arm, "Will the Emperor... punish me?"

Are you afraid now?

Yun Xiaohan glanced at the hand on his arm. "That's why I told you not to hurt Yue'er."
