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

Chapter 383

"Big brother."

Yun Xiaohan smiled and said, "It's good that you're engaged. Since he's willing to marry you, I have no objections."

"There are still three years to go, no rush."

"But you, you should share some of your work with me in the future, and spend some time with your sister-in-law when you have time!" Yun Xiyue sincerely hoped that he and Xiao Ling'er could have a good outcome.

Yun Xiaohan said, "Well, that depends on fate."

He and Xiao Ling'er were really not on the same wavelength.

She couldn't understand herself, and she couldn't understand herself either.

In the end, we're just strangers.

Xiao Ling'er had been hiding away at her parents' home for some time, and only decided to go back after hearing that he had returned.

"Wait, Ling'er, you don't have to go back like this."

“Now that your son-in-law is back, let him come and pick you up,” said Madam Xiao.

"This is outrageous! The Yun family's daughter is shameless, and they won't even let others talk about it? They're blaming my daughter instead."

"Hmph! I shouldn't have let you marry a merchant in the first place."

Xiao Ling'er said, "Mother, don't say that. Our marriage was arranged by the Emperor. He did this to help us."

At least after she married Yun Xiaohan, he helped the Xiao family pay off all their debts.

Mother Xiao said, "This Yun family looks unremarkable, how come they have so much money?"

First, he gave two million taels to the military camp, and later he helped the Xiao family pay off 150,000 taels of debt.

If the Yun family hadn't come up with this money, the Xiao family would never have been able to repay their debts in their lifetime.

Furthermore, the Qin Prince's mansion will also be implicated because of the second son's embezzlement of military funds, making it impossible for them to maintain their position in the military camp.

If military power falls into the hands of others, it would be a fatal blow to both the Xiao and Qin families.

"Mother, I don't know."

"The Yun family's shops are not in the capital; what we are seeing is perhaps only the tip of the iceberg."

Xiao's mother was excited. "So, Ling'er, you have to work hard and consummate your marriage with Xiao Han as soon as you go back this time. Try to have a son. When Yun Xiyue enters the palace, you can inherit the Yun family."

Xiao Ling'er smiled bitterly, not knowing how to persuade her mother, because she had messed things up! Now even Yunmu, who had always liked her, had developed a grudge against her.

After waiting for two days, Yun Xiaohan showed no intention of coming to pick her up.

This made her even more embarrassed to go back.

Yun Xiaohan arrived on the third day.

The Xiao family originally wanted to put on airs, but considering they would have to rely on this son-in-law for money in the future, they didn't criticize him and instead greeted him with smiles.

In front of the Xiao family, Yun Xiaohan gave Xiao Ling'er plenty of face, having her eat at the Xiao residence and then personally helping her into the carriage.

He followed along.

"Thank you for coming to pick me up," Xiao Ling'er said gratefully.

"I've figured it out. It was all my fault in the past. I was so confused because I was jealous of Yue'er getting your favor."

"I will not do it again."

Because she and the emperor were already engaged.

She'll get married sooner or later, so there's no need for that.

Yun Xiaohan saw through her thoughts but didn't say anything. "Once Yue'er gets married, she will inherit the Yun family's assets. The Yun family's assets have nothing to do with me."

"Furthermore, the Xiao family's debts have been paid off, and I will not give the Xiao family any more money."

Xiao Ling'er's cheeks burned as if she had been slapped several times, feeling extremely humiliated. "I didn't marry you because I was after your money."
