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

Chapter 40

"I didn't want to go at first, but the Prince of Qin's mansion sent me an invitation and invited me separately."

Since she was, after all, a princess of the Southern Qiang, the Qin Prince's Mansion never allowed anyone to find fault with their actions, so they sent over an extra invitation.

Lin Bao'er was quite pleased with herself. Even as a concubine, her status as the princess of Nanqiang gave her a significant advantage.

If the Yun family weren't wealthy, and Yun Xiyue weren't good at making money, and if they didn't need this woman to be their slave, she would never have tolerated it again.

Shen Yue protected the woman, saying, "Bao'er is the princess of Nanqiang. Her status is different from others. It's one thing for you to cause trouble in the Marquis's mansion, but if you cause trouble like this outside and disregard the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, I will no longer tolerate your insolence."

"ill!"

Yunxi Yue rolled her eyes at the two of them, too lazy to pay them any attention, and after uttering two words, she got into her carriage.

Shen Yue: "..."

Lin Bao'er: "......"

"Yunxi Yue!"

Shen Yue was so angry that he wanted to chase after her, but Lin Bao'er stopped him. "My lord, my sister is still angry with us, so let it go."

The Prince of Qin's mansion was filled with guests.

Many people wanted to curry favor with King Qin, Qin Mo.

"Who is the person standing next to the prince?"

"It seems to be Yun Xiaohan, the eldest son of the Yun family."

The person who could stand beside the King of Qin must be no ordinary person; he must be a distinguished guest of the king.

Everyone immediately went over, eager to make his acquaintance.

When we arrived at the Prince of Qin's residence, men and women were treated separately.

The Prince of Qin personally hosted the guests in the front courtyard, while the second wife of the Prince of Qin, Lady Zhuang, was in charge of receiving guests in the back courtyard. The Qin family was also a large and influential family.

"Madam Anjun." Lady Zhuang led a group of female relatives from the backyard, beaming with smiles, having already greeted several groups of people.

"Second Madam." After paying her respects, Yun Xiyue quickly stepped forward and took her hand.

Lady Zhuang smiled and said, "The Princess Consort has been talking about you since early this morning."

"I'll take you to see the princess first."

At this moment, three teenagers walked over. The oldest was sixteen years old, and each one was more handsome and dashing than the last.

"Greetings, Madam Shen." The one in the lead was Qin Shaoyan, the eldest son of the Prince of Qin and also the heir of the Prince of Qin's mansion. He was handsome, dressed in a dark red brocade robe, with a golden crown binding his hair, and had a noble air about him.

Not only was he handsome, but he also had a kind, gentle, and humble personality. The ladies of noble families present were all shy and timid when they saw him, and they all fell in love with him.

Many wealthy ladies brought their daughters, dressed up carefully, all there for him.

The second young master, Qin Shaoyou, and the third young master, Qin Shaosheng, are also very handsome, but they are still young. They look to be around thirteen and twelve years old, respectively.

"Please come, Madam Shen. My mother sent us to fetch you."

Everyone was astonished by what they saw.

Wasn't it Princess Qin who saved Lady Anjun? Why does it feel like everyone in the Qin Prince's mansion is being exceptionally warm and attentive to Yun Xiyue?

The crown prince and his two young masters came to greet her personally.

Yun Xiyue felt a little uncomfortable. "Thank you, Your Highness, Second Young Master, and Third Young Master."

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Madam Shen rarely attends banquets. Your mother is worried that you are shy."

"We were just planning to visit my sister, so we can go together."

"Second Aunt, please leave things here to us. You can go and do your work!"

Qin Zhuangshi laughed and said, "Alright, but don't frighten Madam Shen."

Yun Xiyue was only an eighteen-year-old girl, arguably the youngest lady of the Marquis's household, and she looked very young.

"That woman is shameless! She actually dared to openly seduce the Prince of Qin!" Shen Yue was extremely jealous. How could Yun Xiyue, a lowly merchant's daughter, be so close to the Prince of Qin?

"Big sister, please keep your voice down."

"Hmph, am I wrong? No wonder she wants to divorce my brother, it looks like she must have found another man outside."

Lin Bao'er looked disapproving. "Sister Yue'er, don't talk nonsense."

"She's been married to my eldest brother for five years, and she's been living alone for those five years. Who knows if she's done anything to betray him?"

“You need evidence. If you don’t have evidence, no one will believe you,” Lin Bao’er said.

"Don't speak carelessly in the Prince of Qin's residence, lest you cause trouble for the Marquis."

Shen Yue glanced around at the wealthy and powerful people around her and said, "Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? He's just a lowly merchant!"

"Who are you talking about?" Just then, a figure blocked her way.
