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

Chapter 320

"Please, gentlemen." After the guard went to report, he led them to the prison. Unlike the prisons in the yamen, the prisons of the Dali Temple were heavily guarded, with soldiers in armor standing guard.

The prison was damp and cold.

Yunxi Yue felt like vomiting just from the smell.

“Miss,” Bei Ye said, supporting her, “I’ll carry you inside.”

Yun Xiyue shook her head. She was just thinking about her past life, being locked up in a similar place, and the thought of it now made her feel cold all over.

“If you can’t stand it, you can go back first,” Xiao Ling’er said.

"I want to see my older brother."

Yun Xiyue took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth.

There were quite a few people being held in the prison.

They are said to be serious criminals.

The further you go in, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.

"Big brother."

Yun Xiaohan stood up and looked at the two women. "Why are you here?"

Xiao Ling'er said, "How could we not come? Husband, you've suffered. Don't worry, I'll rescue you soon."

Yun Xiaohan nodded, and after exchanging a few words, he said, "I have something to say to Yue'er alone."

Xiao Ling'er said unhappily, "We are husband and wife, and there are only the three of us left in the capital. Is there anything you can't say in front of me?"

"Big brother," Yun Xiyue said, hoping they wouldn't argue.

Yun Xiaohan glanced at Xiao Ling'er, "I suspect there is a spy among us. This incident is not a coincidence because of an inside man."

“Last time, someone planted spies in the Yun family caravan, and I already wiped them all out. But that servant was still able to sneak in. I asked Uncle Qian to investigate, and he said it was because there was an inside man, someone we know who is of high status, who brought him into the restaurant.”

"Otherwise, outsiders would never be able to get in, and even if they did, we could detect them immediately."

As he spoke, Yun Xiaohan stared coldly at Xiao Ling'er, "Two days before Prince Rui was assassinated, I remember you went to Fuyun Tower?"

Xiao Ling'er's face paled, though it wasn't visible in the dimly lit prison cell. "Does my husband suspect me?"

"Besides you, me, and Yue'er, there are three masters in Fuyunlou. No one else can bring people into the inner hall."

If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to bring anyone into the inner hall; they would be stopped at the door.

Guests generally do not go to the inner hall.

“I did go to the inner hall of Fuyun Tower to look for you, but I only brought my maid with me,” Xiao Ling’er said.

Yun Xiyue said, "The servant can also dress as a woman."

Xiao Ling'er laughed angrily, "Even you doubt me? Fine, then let's catch that assassin! Let's go confront him."

"When a person dies, there is no way to verify the facts."

"That's why I was arrested." Yun Xiaohan's voice was icy.

Xiao Ling'er was so angry she almost cried, "You two siblings are just ganging up on people."

"I would not harm my husband."

Yun Xiyue also felt that she wouldn't be that stupid. "Sister-in-law, don't worry. My brother just suspects that there might be a spy in your Xiao family."

"If that's what you're saying, then you must have taken precautions. Ordinary people can't get into our inner hall. Only acquaintances can."

Yun Xiaohan no longer trusted Xiao Ling'er. "You go out first."

I didn't want to embarrass her in the first place.

She insisted on staying to listen.

She cried and made a fuss after she spoke, and Yun Xiaohan found her annoying.

Xiao Ling'er ran out crying, "I will investigate this thoroughly."

“Brother, you could have been a little more tactful when you talked to your wife about this.” Yun Xiyue felt a headache coming on. “Interrogating her like a criminal would definitely upset her.”
