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

Chapter 391

Why didn't you dodge?

He applied the medicine to her.

Yun Xiyue said, "There's no way to avoid it."

"I'm sorry you've suffered this injustice; it's because I haven't done a good enough job."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "It was bound to happen sooner or later. I just can't understand why the Princess hates me so much."

"Just because I exposed Liu Muyuan's dirty secrets?"

Murong Yu said, "I don't know."

"She is your own sister."

Murong Yu laughed and said, "I don't have a good relationship with her. When we were young, she spent more time with Prince Rui. In her heart, Prince Rui is her younger brother. I am just someone she thinks of when she needs me."

Yun Xiyue found it strange, "Is your relationship with the Princess really that bad?"

"It's not that she's bad. She's holding a grudge because I demoted her to a fiefdom and punished Liu Muyuan. She feels that I shouldn't have punished the Liu family, and it's also related to the matter of the imperial merchants."

"The Empress Dowager and my elder sister both hoped that the Liu family would become imperial merchants. Later, when you discovered that Liu Muyuan had cheated on me, I told the Empress Dowager, and they no longer had the confidence to ask me for the position of imperial merchant on behalf of the Liu family."

He no longer gave many business opportunities to the Liu family, such as salt permits.

It has already been given to the Han family.

As a result, the Liu family's business plummeted, even though they had always made their fortune through salt production.

There are so many things to do!

Yun Xiyue felt some sympathy for him, "If this continues, won't your relationship with your family get worse and worse?"

"That's fine," Murong Yu said, disagreeing.

I don't understand his thinking.

After applying the medicine, Yunxi Yue planned to go back.

"Have a meal with me before you go back."

Yun Xiyue said, "But we're not married yet, so we can't meet, can we?"

Murong Yu laughed and said, "It's only because we can't meet when we're about to get married that we can't meet."

That's it!

Are you busy?

"I'm always busy with work, but I also need to rest and spend time with my fiancée. Otherwise, do you want to work me to death?"

It's still early before mealtime.

Yunxi Yue then asked him to teach her calligraphy and painting.

"My handwriting isn't very good, and my drawing is terrible. Can you teach me?"

"A beautiful woman adding fragrance to one's sleeves is quite nice," Murong Yu immediately ordered someone to prepare paper, brush, ink, and inkstone, and began teaching her in the Imperial Garden.

"Ah Yue, who taught you how to hold a pen?"

Yun Xiyue felt ashamed looking at her own handwriting; it was worlds apart from his. "I was playful when I was little and didn't practice calligraphy much..."

"Not enough force." Murong Yu grabbed her wrist from behind and taught her to write the character "Yu" on the rice paper.

"You will write this character today, one hundred times."

Yun Xiyue looked bitter. "Then I don't want you to teach me anymore."

He was even stricter than Granny Chen.

"If your mother tests your calligraphy, painting, music, and chess skills in a few days, you definitely won't pass with this kind of handwriting."

"When your mother was empress, did she have to learn these things?" Yun Xiyue was indignant. Why should she be the only one tormented?

If the Empress Dowager cannot write well and says that she is not good at it, she will absolutely not agree.
