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

Chapter 388

"I don't know much about this. I've known my older brother since I was old enough to understand things, but he wasn't my older brother back then." Yun Xiyue couldn't remember.

It feels like something from a long time ago, after all, she's lived a second life.

In his previous life, he was imprisoned until his death.

"If you want to know, go ask your mother."

Xiao Ling'er nodded, deciding to ask her mother-in-law when she had the chance.

Are you going to the wedding at Prince Rui's Mansion?

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "We'll see when the time comes!"

At this time, Wan Jiaojiao came to the door.

"Sister Xiyue, Sister Ling'er."

"I'd like to congratulate Sister Xiyue first."

Yun Xiyue invited her to sit down and had fresh fruits and snacks served again.

The three people were chatting in the yard.

Wan Jiaojiao came here this time specifically to discuss the marriage between Prince Rui and Zhang Chuhuan.

"I heard everything from Chu Huan. She cried for a long time and said she was sorry to you because she had no other choice."

She couldn't simply side with Zhang Chuhuan in this matter, because if it weren't for her quick thinking, Yun Xiyue would have almost been tricked by Prince Rui and fallen out with the Emperor.

Zhang Chuhuan knew perfectly well that Prince Rui had ill intentions, yet she still took advantage of Yun Xiyue's guilt towards her to get her to go find Pei Shang.

She had her reasons, which she should have shared. At the time, they all thought she really didn't want to marry Prince Rui.

But it turns out... they were already engaged.

“I know you’re feeling bad too,” Wan Jiaojiao said.

She didn't know which side to take in this matter.

Yun Xiyue said, "It's alright, it's all in the past."

"Are you still going to her wedding?" Wan Jiaojiao asked.

"I need to learn etiquette and rules now, but I'm afraid I won't have the time."

"This is some extra dowry I prepared for her; could you please give it to her for me?"

Yun Xiyue is always exceptionally generous.

Xiao Ling'er and Wan Jiaojiao's dowries were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver each.

The gift for Zhang Chuhuan wasn't bad either, because I heard she was getting engaged, so I prepared it in advance.

Nothing has changed.

It is a phoenix crown made of pure gold, exquisite and beautiful. It can be used at weddings or taken out to show off on important occasions.

It is worth tens of thousands of taels.

Zhang Chuhuan couldn't help but cry after receiving it.

“Sister Xiyue has always been very loyal to her friends,” Wan Jiaojiao said.

"She went to see Prince Rui for your sake. She also secretly arranged for you to meet Pei Shang."

Zhang Chuhuan cried, "I know I've wronged her. I'm too ashamed to accept her things. Please take them back for me!"

“Sister Xiyue said that the reason why Prince Rui caused you trouble was because of your association with her, so you don’t need to feel bad. Just consider it compensation.”

“If you back down, people will think you resent her.”

The maidservant beside Zhang Chuhuan said, "But it was also because of her that our young lady married Prince Rui!"

Wan Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Chuhuan. She didn't say anything, so that's what she thought?

But if she doesn't want to get married, who can force her?

She always sought out Yun Xiyue. Given Yun Xiyue's relationship with the Emperor, if Zhang Chuhuan said she wouldn't marry him, Yun Xiyue could simply speak to the Emperor. With the Emperor's backing, could Prince Rui force her to marry him?

"Huanhuan, do you think so too?"

Zhang Chuhuan lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Wan Jiaojiao was speechless with anger, "You..."

"Fine, if you don't want it, I'll return it to you!"
