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

Chapter 332

"I forbid it!"

"Don't even think about bringing her into the palace," the Empress Dowager said sternly, slamming her hand on the table.

Murong Yu said, "Mother, you should take good care of your health. Do not interfere in my affairs with A-Yue. From today onwards, I do not want to see anyone else lay a hand on the Yun family or her."

His tone was gentle.

But to the Empress Dowager, every word was like a knife piercing her heart.

"My son, are you determined to go down this dark path? She's just a woman, and such a despicable one at that. Even if you like her, I'll allow you to indulge yourself occasionally, but you can't develop real feelings for her, do you understand?"

Murong Yu frowned. "Mother, I understand what you're worried about. What you're worried about won't happen. The Yun family is still useful to me. Can you please calm down?"

The Empress Dowager was taken aback, unable to discern the truthfulness of his words.

It's about deceiving her again.

They are still hiding their true thoughts.

She no longer understands her son.

"Alright, since you put it that way, I will not interfere any further, but you must promise me that you will quickly establish an empress."

Murong Yu's expression darkened slightly. "The matter of establishing an empress must not be mentioned again."

Before the Empress Dowager could say anything more, he stood up and left in a huff.

"If anything happens to the Empress Dowager, they will all be buried with me!"

Everyone was immediately terrified and fell silent, kneeling on the ground, afraid to even breathe.

......

"Haha... Brother Shen is here."

Inside the restaurant, many people were discussing this matter.

"Brother Shen, have you heard? Your ex-wife sacrificed herself for His Majesty to save your brother..."

"I never would have guessed His Majesty would have such a taste. Do you think it's possible that His Majesty has long had his eye on your ex-wife?"

"Otherwise, why would they be so ruthless to the Shen family, directly stripping them of their marquis titles?"

Shen Yue's face was ashen, his eyes were filled with malice, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Suddenly I understood; I realized that everything in the past had its own patterns.

"How dare you! You dare to talk about His Majesty? You're all tired of living!" A furious voice came from the doorway.

It was Pei Shang and Qi Yuyan.

Several spoiled young men got drunk at Fu Rui Lou restaurant.

Pei Shang was suddenly doused with cold water, which jolted him awake.

"Young Master Pei..."

The boys turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down. "Young Master Pei, we were just talking nonsense. We hope you will be magnanimous and not tell the Emperor."

"We know we were wrong."

Pei Shang glanced at Shen Yue, "Miss Yun has already divorced Mr. Shen. It's her freedom to be with whomever she wants and to marry whomever she wants."

"Besides, she did not consummate her marriage with Young Master Shen, so she was a virgin. His Majesty is wholeheartedly devoted to the country and its people, so you should refrain from speaking nonsense lest you bring utter disaster upon your families."

"Words can cause trouble. If you continue to be so reckless, no one can save you."

Pei Shang reprimanded him sternly and harshly.

The boys were terrified. "Young Master Pei is right, we know we were wrong..."

Then he slunk away.

Shen Yue turned around with a sullen face.

“Young Master Shen…” Pei Shang called out to him, “Rumors stop with the wise. Miss Yun has nothing to do with you anymore.”

“If you’re a man, you shouldn’t take your anger out on a woman,” Qi Yuyan said.

"You were the one who rejected her first."

Shen Yue turned around and looked at the two men with a sinister gaze. He sneered, "I didn't know you two were so interested in my ex-wife. Do you also want her to offer herself to you?"

"You bastard!" Qi Yuyan couldn't hold back and punched him in the face.

But Shen Yue's years of training in the military were not for nothing.

Qi Yuyan, a frail young man, was no match for him at all, and was soon beaten into retreat.

"Stop!" Pei Shang went over to help and grabbed Shen Yue's hand.

Pei Shang, who appears equally frail, is actually highly skilled in martial arts and possesses profound inner strength.

Shen Yue tried to shake them off but couldn't, so he had to give up.

"Hmph! I don't care what you're thinking, Yun Xiyue is my woman, Shen Yue's woman. You can't even touch her!"
