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

Chapter 384

"I know it's because of the imperial decree that the marriage was arranged." Yun Xiaohan didn't want to say more; the Xiao family's intentions were practically written on their faces, and he could tell at a glance.

Because of their heavy debts, the Xiao family had sold off all their shops, estates, and other valuables they could find in the past.

Now it's just an empty shell; it's impossible for it to live a life of extravagance and debauchery in the future.

"But I truly love you. Xiao Han, can't you forget Yue'er and start over with me?" Xiao Ling'er's eyes reddened slightly as she placed her hand on his leg, then leaned closer to him. "I'm no less than her..."

Yun Xiaohan quickly grabbed her shoulders, "What are you doing?"

"We are husband and wife...you should give me a perfect wedding night."

Yun Xiaohan frowned slightly. "Don't regret it. There's no way I could have you in my heart now, and there never will be."

"If you want a wedding night, I can give it to you, but... don't expect me to have any feelings for you."

Xiao Ling'er was secretly delighted. No matter what, she would get him first.

"Okay, as long as you give me a child, I will raise the child and live my own life, and I won't bother you anymore."

Yun Xiaohan's expression was icy as he smiled and said, "Who said I was going to give you a child? I don't plan to have any children."

Xiao Ling'er froze, "Why?"

"Because I don't want to have a child with you." Yun Xiaohan said bluntly, like a sharp knife piercing straight into her heart.

"Why?" Tears streamed down Xiao Ling'er's face. "You can have children with other people, but not with me?"

Yun Xiaohan pushed her away, "Yes, because you are a daughter of the Xiao family."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Ling'er was shocked and instantly realized that he hated the Xiao family.

Just as I was about to ask for clarification, the carriage stopped.

We have arrived at Yun Mansion.

They came back together.

Madam Yun had a family banquet prepared and invited them over.

The reason Yun Xiaohan was willing to bring her back this time was because of Madam Yun's persuasion.

Seeing the Yun family enjoying themselves so happily, Xiao Ling'er felt that she had no place there and felt very sad.

"I'm full, you can continue eating."

Madam Yun gestured for her son to go and coax her, "You two are already husband and wife, Han'er. She's a young lady, so you should be more considerate of her."

Yun Xiyue said, "Sister-in-law, you must feel sad because you can't fit into our family!"

She understood that feeling.

Yun Xiaohan got up and went after him.

“Your mother and the others don’t blame you anymore. It was your mother who sent me to bring you back.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ling'er became even angrier. "So if they hadn't persuaded you, you wouldn't have come to pick me up at all?"

Yun Xiaohan frowned. "You made a mistake, and you have a bigger temper than others. You ran back to your parents' house. Why should I go and pick you up?"

That's really unreasonable.

Xiao Ling'er was so angry that she cried.

"What are you complaining about? My family members are the easiest people to get along with."

"Am I not wronged? Your mother's illness was caused by Yun Xiyue, so why are you all blaming me?" Xiao Ling'er cried.

Yun Xiaohan's face immediately turned ashen. "You don't even realize where you went wrong, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

"If you want to cry, go back to your room and cry by yourself. Don't let your parents see."

After saying that, he turned and went to his study.

......

The next day, several governesses came to the palace.

When Yun Xiaohan heard about it, he asked Xiao Ling'er to learn along with him.

"Why should I learn these rules? I don't need to go to the palace!" Xiao Ling'er said irritably.

Yun Xiaohan felt annoyed. "The legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, I don't think you have any of the demeanor of the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family."

"No, no."

Yun Xiaohan took a deep breath, "Just think of it as keeping Yue'er company. After it's done, I..."

Xiao Ling'er looked up at him and said, "I knew you wouldn't make me learn etiquette for no reason. In the end, it's all for Yun Xiyue."
