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

Chapter 319

The businesses of the three major families gradually declined, and even the restaurant Fu Rui Lou was almost unable to compete with Fu Yun Lou.

After the marriage alliance with the Xiao family, Yun Xiaohan no longer gave way to the three major families and began to make his own moves.

The Yun family's restaurants are actually all over the Great Xia Dynasty, but others just don't know it. When it comes to running a successful restaurant business, the Yun family is second to none.

"This brother and sister each do their own thing, but they are both very capable."

"If this continues, they'll steal all the business from our three families. We can't let them monopolize the market!"

"But the Yun family has managed to curry favor with the Emperor..."

"so what?"

The emperor doesn't do business.

Furthermore, even the emperor is subject to checks and balances by his officials. They hold many secrets about the civil and military officials.

With a little manipulation, the emperor can be suppressed.

One after another, the Yun family's business encountered troubles.

There was a fight at Fuyunlou today.

Tomorrow, some young nobleman will get food poisoning while dining at Fuyunlou... and so on.

"Moon, Xiao Han has been arrested by the government, and Fuyunlou has been shut down."

Xiao Ling'er rushed over to find Yun Xiyue.

"What's going on? Who dares to mess with our Fuyunlou?"

With the Xiao family and the Prince of Qin's mansion backing them up, anyone who wants to touch Fuyunlou will have to think twice.

Let's leave aside trivial matters like fighting and picking fights.

They actually dared to seize the property and even arrest the boss!

Xiao Ling'er said with a serious expression, "You should know that Princess Chang is coming back! She has been in the capital for several days now."

"So you mean the Liu family?" Yun Xiyue sneered.

"It can be said to be the Liu family, but this time not only the Princess's Mansion, but also Prince Rui. Prince Rui came back to the capital from his fiefdom with her. He was attacked and poisoned while having dinner at Fuyunlou Restaurant today. He is now unconscious and his life is hanging by a thread."

"The Emperor ordered the closure of Fuyunlou. An assassin disguised himself as a servant of Fuyunlou to carry out the assassination, and Xiao Han was arrested."

Xiao Ling'er looked anxious. "My father went to the palace to see the Emperor, but the Emperor refused to see him."

"My uncle, the King of Qin, is not in the capital."

Compared to the Eldest Princess and Prince Rui, the Xiao family was no match.

Yun Xiyue understood. The Empress Dowager had sent the Eldest Princess back because she was going to take action against the Yun family!

"Why did Prince Rui return to the capital? He didn't even come back for the Empress Dowager's birthday. Aren't all the princes who were sent to their fiefdoms supposed to be exempt from returning to the capital?"

After Murong Yu ascended the throne, the three remaining surviving princes were all enfeoffed as kings and sent to their fiefdoms. They have not returned for many years.

Xiao Ling'er shook her head. "I guess it's because the Empress Dowager is ill. Prince Rui grew up by the Empress Dowager's side when he was young."

"The priority now is to find a way to get your husband out. You and the Emperor... have a close relationship. As long as you enter the palace, the Emperor will definitely see you."

Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly. "Sister-in-law, my going to the palace would only backfire."

Because the person behind it is very likely the Empress Dowager.

She had no idea what the Empress Dowager was thinking.

She and Murong Yu did not have frequent contact.

To avoid suspicion, they rarely meet.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Yun Xiyue said, "Let's go to the prison to see our elder brother first. Let's find out who the murderer is and prove that Prince Rui's assassination has nothing to do with our Fuyun Tower."

Xiao Ling'er had no choice but to listen to her.

Yun Xiaohan was imprisoned in the Dali Temple.

It was Pei Heng, the second young master of the Pei family, who was in charge of bringing people in.

You need his permission to see him.
