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

Chapter 364

"Then Your Majesty..." Madam Yun was about to ask when her father stopped her.

"It's good that everyone is alright. You can come back to Yunzhou with us in a while."

Madam Yun opened her mouth but swallowed her words back.

Then they busied themselves distributing the gifts they had brought from Yunzhou to the children.

The Yun family started out in the fabric business, and this time they brought a lot of good fabrics. "Ling'er, these fabrics are all new from our weaving workshop, and the colors and textures are all top-quality."

"Choose whatever color you like."

Xiao Ling'er said, "Thank you, Mother."

There's quite a lot of silk.

The rest were sent to the palace.

Xiao Ling'er took a lot of it back to her parents' home and gave it to her family.

"Ling'er, the Yun family is quite impressive!" Madam Xiao was very satisfied.

"Do they already know about the Emperor and Yun Xiyue?"

Xiao Ling'er nodded, "Mm."

"No wonder I was unwilling to marry your second brother."

Madam Xiao said sarcastically, "If you ask me, I'd like to send her to the palace immediately. A divorced woman who has remarried is not suitable to take over the family business!"

"It was unreasonable to begin with."

Xiao Ling'er also felt that the Yun family had treated her well, giving her whatever she wanted, but the Yun family's assets all belonged to Yun Xiyue.

Lianyun Xiaohan had to get her approval every month to give the Xiao family a certain amount of money, which was really frustrating.

She is clearly the eldest young mistress of the Yun family.

"It seems the Yun family hasn't sent any money this month," said Madam Xiao. "What's going on?"

Xiao Ling'er frowned. "Xiao Han said that the Xiao family's debts have all been paid off."

They send money to the Xiao family every month.

A gift of thirty to fifty thousand taels.

The Xiao family is not used to this sudden cessation of deliveries.

Thanks to this money, the Xiao family lived a very comfortable life. Their debts were paid off, and they even had money to spend. How wonderful!

Madam Xiao said, "Even if it's been paid off, it should still be given! Our Xiao family married our eldest daughter to their adopted son. If you hadn't married him, you might have been able to enter the palace and become the Empress!"

Xiao Ling'er's expression changed slightly. "Second Aunt, now that my husband has paid off the Xiao family's debts, he has no obligation to support the entire Xiao family anymore! If word gets out, won't our Xiao family become like the Shen family?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao's smile froze. "What I mean is that you should always be filial during festivals and holidays."

"Furthermore, now that you're married to him, you should be in charge of managing the Yun family's affairs. I've heard that Yun Xiyue decides on every penny the Yun family spends, which means she's in charge of the household. That's not reasonable!"

Xiao Ling'er isn't stupid. The Xiao family has been fattened up and is now ambitious, wanting to ask for even more money.

But those words really resonated with her.

After this, Yun Xiyue was to inherit the Yun family business, and she would have the final say in everything, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Mother, Second Aunt, my husband will no longer bring money home."

“Father, eldest brother, and second uncle all have stipends, which are enough for you to eat, wear, and use. I will take care of you and Father during festivals.”

"As for the rest, you don't need to worry about them."

Madam Xiao looked somewhat displeased, but ultimately said nothing. The Xiao family indeed couldn't be as spineless as the Shen family, relying on merchants for support.

From then on, we'll have to cut back on food and clothing.

I'm really not used to this kind of life. People get used to wealth and luxury, and their hearts change.

Madam Xiao held onto her daughter and cried about being poor for a long time. Xiao Ling'er gave her 10,000 taels of silver notes. This money was compensation that Yun Xiaohan gave her on their wedding night.

After accepting the gift, Madam Xiao said that she should hurry up and have a son with Yun Xiaohan so that she could squeeze Yun Xiyue out.
