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

Chapter 387

Madam Yun could not bear to see it and could only avoid it. She heard that a new nanny had come today, so she came over to observe her and found that although the nanny looked very strict, she was kind-hearted and would not hit her palms with a ruler.

If you make a mistake or do something wrong, I will patiently guide you.

"We'll see when the time comes!" Yun Xiyue didn't have high expectations. There were still three years to go, and she didn't know if she could achieve her wish.

But Mica clearly didn't think that way and had already started preparing her daughter's dowry.

For the next few days, Chen Mama would be instructing him.

After learning etiquette and rules, one can then learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework.

She had learned all of these, but obviously the requirements for an empress were much higher, especially since Granny Chen had high standards for needlework.

As for managing and calculating accounts, these are Yun Xiyue's strengths, so she doesn't need to learn them at all and they can be ignored.

Xiao Ling'er was completely ignorant of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her needlework was even worse.

Yunxi Yue's embroidery was at least mandarin ducks, just a bit ugly; what she embroidered was just a pair of ducks.

Granny Chen said with disdain, "Young Madam, you should study hard in the future! Even if you don't need to embroider or do needlework, in order to enhance the relationship between husband and wife, you should occasionally make one or two presentable embroidered items for your husband, such as clothes, boots, and handkerchiefs that he can always carry with him. Just like how the young master sometimes personally chooses hairpins for you."

"If you want the other person to do more for you and love you more, then you must first do your own job well."

Madam Yun secretly told her that she hoped Chen Mama could give Xiao Ling'er some pointers. She was surprised to learn that Xiao Ling'er couldn't win her husband's favor.

Now it seems that apart from having a pretty face, a good figure, and good health, Xiao Ling'er doesn't seem to have any womanly charm at all.

He is not skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, nor in needlework. He even speaks with a rough voice and is impulsive and thoughtless. He may appear calm and composed, but he is actually quite impulsive and rash.

They completely lack the understanding of using softness to overcome hardness.

How can I win the favor of the eldest son like this?

"Men are naturally drawn to gentle and tender women. Remember this: no matter what happens between husband and wife, there are still ways and methods to get along."

"You don't need to be humble and ingratiating; you just need to do something that touches his heart."

If you could win the heart of a man like Yun Xiaohan, you would be absolutely happy.

Xiao Ling'er immediately perked up, "Granny, does that mean if I personally tailor a set of clothes for my husband, he'll like me more?"

Granny Chen: "......"

"Young Madam should start with herself."

"Take your time, don't rush," Yun Xiyue comforted her.

"Miss, this is an invitation from Prince Rui's residence."

A few days later, I received an invitation.

"Is Prince Rui going to marry Zhang Chuhuan?" Xiao Ling'er asked, leaning closer.

"Ah."

"But didn't she cry and say she wouldn't marry Prince Rui?" Xiao Ling'er asked, puzzled.

She also knew that Zhang Chuhuan had come to find Yun Xiyue.

Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly. "Who knows? A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; we don't know what she's thinking."

Even the slow-witted Xiao Ling'er understood that she and Zhang Chuhuan had broken up.

"Take it easy, that's just how things are in the capital. There are no true friends, only absolute interests."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you see things quite clearly."

"Hmph, I may not be as smart as you, but I'm not stupid." Xiao Ling'er was a little angry. In the past few days, she had seen Yun Xiyue learn everything very quickly and understand things immediately.

She was quite anxious.

The more I compared them, the more I realized that it was not unfair for me to lose to her.

Granny Chen spoke of femininity as using gentleness to overcome strength, and Yun Xiyue understood this perfectly. No wonder she was able to capture the Emperor's heart.

"I didn't see it coming," Yun Xiyue said with a smile.

Xiao Ling'er paused for a moment, then said, "At first, I didn't realize it either. She was crying so hard that anyone would feel sorry for her."

"When I was with her, I thought she was a pretty good person and didn't have any bad intentions. It's just that when it comes to interests, there's no such thing as true feelings."

Yun Xiyue nodded. "Yes, that makes sense. So, if my brother did something to wrong you, what would my sister-in-law do?"

These words stumped Xiao Ling'er.

Suddenly, she remembered Yun Xiaohan's cold gaze in the carriage that day, and she felt afraid.

"Xi Yue, how old was Xiao Han when your family adopted him? Who is his biological father?"
