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

Chapter 38

Then they continued chatting, "In a few days it will be the full moon celebration for the little princess of the Qin Prince's Mansion. I heard that it was the Princess Consort of Qin who saved you at Wanxiang Temple. You should prepare a generous gift to thank her properly."

"That's only right," Madam Li hurriedly said. "I've already prepared a generous gift. You and the Marquis can attend the little princess's full moon celebration together, Yue'er."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "There are still a few days left! We'll talk about it after the Marquis's injuries have healed."

It was a rare occasion for the Prince of Qin's residence to host a banquet.

After being punished by the emperor, Shen Yue was confined to his quarters and did not attend court. If this continued, the Shen family would soon lose power. They had finally achieved merit on the battlefield, and they could not let this incident ruin their future.

The full moon banquet can be used to build ties with the King of Qin.

They couldn't miss such an opportunity.

"The Marquis is almost fully recovered and is fine," Lin Bao'er said.

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Then Madam Lin, please accompany the Marquis to the banquet! I have never attended such a grand banquet before, and I am not used to it."

“You are the Lady of the Marquis’s Mansion. Besides, Princess Qin went into premature labor to save you. If you don’t go, what will Prince Qin think? He will only say that our Marquis’s Mansion is ignorant of etiquette. There are still a few days left. You can learn more about what you don’t know.” The Grand Madam interrupted her, not allowing her to refuse.

Yun Xiyue sneered inwardly. Because she needed Yun Xiyue to act as a go-between to get her to attend the banquet, the Grand Madam had tolerated her outrageous remarks earlier.

“Grandmother is right. The Prince of Qin is very particular about rules. If Madam Lin attends the banquet wearing snow brocade, she is not the principal wife, yet she is wearing bright red, and it is still snow brocade. The people attending the banquet are all noble and wealthy, and the most important thing is to follow the rules. Madam Lin should be careful.”

Lin Bao'er's expression changed slightly, "I won't be attending the banquet..."

Besides, she wouldn't wear this outfit to a banquet.

"Sister, if you're still angry, I'll never wear this snow-white brocade dress again, and I'll never wear red in front of you." Saying this, she stood up and took off her outer garment. "Are you satisfied now, sister?"

"Baoer!"

When Shen Yue came in, he saw Lin Bao'er crying and taking off her clothes. He immediately ran over and hugged her, helping her put them back on. Then he said angrily, "Yun Xiyue, I told you not to bully Bao'er. She is my equal wife, and she has the same status and position as you."

"My lord, please don't blame my sister. She's right. Even if I'm just a concubine, I'm still inferior to her. I didn't know the rules. I'll follow her rules from now on." Lin Bao'er leaned against him and cried softly.

Shen Yue protected his beloved, his eyes burning with anger. "Bao'er, stop talking. I told you I would never let you suffer again."

"Yun Xiyue, apologize to Bao'er."

Li came over and said, "Yue'er didn't do it on purpose. It's all a small matter. There's no need to make such a fuss."

"She forced Bao'er to take off her clothes in public, is that a small matter?" Shen Yue rebuked angrily, and Li Shi immediately shut up.

Yun Xiyue looked at the woman who was secretly gloating and provoking her, and smiled, "Grandmother, you've seen it too. The Marquis only has Madam Lin in his heart. In his eyes, Lin Bao'er is his true wife. In that case, let her accompany the Marquis to the full moon banquet at the Prince of Qin's mansion!"

"Thank you for the gift, but my older brother has already given it to me. There's no need for me to come and thank you again."

The old lady's expression changed slightly, and she wanted to say something, but Yun Xiyue had already left with her people.

"Big brother, look how outrageous she is! We need to find a way to teach her a lesson!" Shen Yue said angrily.

The second and third wives were also filled with resentment.

“That’s right! Lord Marquis, you are a man, and her husband is her everything. Her insolence shows that she doesn’t respect you. If you don’t discipline her, she will only become more and more lawless.”

"Why not divorce her?"

The old lady immediately shouted angrily, "Shut up, all of you, get out!"

"Brainless thing."

Shen Yue frowned slightly. "Grandmother, Yun Xiyue has indeed gone too far. Bao'er is, after all, the Princess of Nanqiang. How can we allow her to humiliate her like this?"
