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

Chapter 317

Yun Xiaohan drank some wine. "Let's go back in a couple of days. I'll go with you. I had some wine today."

"I can go back by myself."

Yun Xiaohan did not agree to lean to the side. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. "You just got married and you go back to your parents' home every few days. You always go back alone."

“My father-in-law is very dissatisfied with me, and your older brother came to give me a warning.”

"You're going back to the Xiao family again today. Is there something I did that you didn't like?"

The previous incident caused quite a stir.

Having already offended her, Yun Xiaohan didn't believe she would behave herself now.

Xiao Ling'er opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but felt she couldn't bring herself to say it, so she had to give up the idea.

"I'll rub it for you."

The man suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed her wrist, and said, "You don't need to do these things."

Xiao Ling'er's eyes immediately turned red. "Why? I am your wife, it is my responsibility to take care of you."

We had another argument about it on the way back.

Yunxi Yue didn't know.

She came to inspect the shop at this time.

"Miss Yun."

As she was leaving, she ran into Qi Yuyan at the door; this man had come specifically to ambush her.

He drank a bit too much; his cheeks were slightly flushed, but not to the point of acting out.

"Happy birthday, Young Master Qi! May you live a long and healthy life."

Qi Yuyan scoffed, "So you're really busy!"

"if not?"

"I thought you didn't want to see me, so you deliberately didn't come to my birthday party."

Yun Xiyue disliked attending these banquets; they were always a social disadvantage. The elite circles of the capital genuinely looked down on her background as a merchant's daughter.

They only want to get something out of her, and they'll only reluctantly befriend her if she unconditionally flatters and pleases them.

"Young Master Qi, you're overthinking it. I'm genuinely very busy."

Qi Yuyan said, "Are you busy or not? Is my birthday banquet more important? Yun Xiyue, we've known each other for a while now. You're not even willing to attend my birthday banquet. Do you really dislike me?"

"No."

He looks drunk.

Yun Xiyue didn't argue with him and gestured for his servant to take him back, but Qi Yuyan waved his hand, "I'm not going back. You have to celebrate my birthday with me today."

I was afraid he would act out drunk on the spot.

Yun Xiyue followed him to Fu Rui Lou.

After drinking the hangover soup, Qi Yuyan felt better. "Sorry, I was a little drunk."

"It's ok."

"I'll celebrate your birthday with you. It's getting late, I should head back."

Qi Yuyan felt a little embarrassed. He had insisted on bringing her up to eat while she was drunk, so he didn't dare to ask her to stay. "I'll take you home," he said.

He insisted.

Yun Xiyue replied, "Young Master Qi, I really have something to attend to. You don't need to see me off again."

"Young master, Miss Yun has left."

Qi Yuyan said irritably, "Of course I know."

"The Yun family wants a son-in-law who will live with them, and this condition alone makes many young men from aristocratic families hesitate."

Who would want to be a live-in son-in-law? Yun Xiyue isn't a princess, and she's not looking for a prince consort.

The Qi family and the Yun family are business rivals.

As the future heir of the Qi family, Qi Yuyan has absolutely no chance of marrying Yun Xiyue.

He knew this after his marriage proposal to the Xiao family was rejected.

He had thought about giving up and keeping it buried in his heart, but he couldn't control himself!

Looking down at the woman downstairs, Qi Yuyan felt increasingly irritated.

"Young master, the Empress Dowager wishes to bestow a marriage upon you."

Upon returning to the Qi family, he was hurriedly informed by a servant.

"To bestow a marriage upon me?"

"Yes, the Empress Dowager said that you and Miss Yun are a perfect match, of equal status, a match made in heaven."

Qi Yuyan's eyes lit up instantly. Only he knew the joy in his heart; this was such a wonderful thing for him.
