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

Chapter 406

Murong Yu reached out and embraced her, about to kiss her, when Zeng Rou's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, this humble general has something to ask of you."

"You go ahead with your work, I'm going back." Yun Xiyue's ears burned, and she struggled to get out of his arms.

Then left in a hurry.

I ran into Zeng Rou at the door.

"Miss Yun, are you very free?" Zeng Rou, dressed in armor, felt inexplicably annoyed when she saw Yun run out of the Imperial Study with a red face.

"General Zeng, why do you say that?"

Asking knowingly.

Zeng Rou sneered, "Do you think Brother Yu really likes you? He just thinks you and the Yun family are of use to him. Yun Xiyue, if I were you, I wouldn't have entered the palace."

"You are the only daughter in the family, and you can inherit the Yun family's wealth in the future. Then you can find a son-in-law to live with you, and then you can be the head of the household. You can make all the decisions. Wouldn't that be a wonderful life?"

"But you insist on marrying the Emperor. With your status and looks, you are not worthy of my brother at all."

"Being an empress isn't as simple as you think. It's not just about having money. The Empress Dowager doesn't like you. If you're caught in the middle, your brother will get tired of you sooner or later."

Yun Xiyue smiled faintly, "General Zeng is right. I have been through a marriage and know the difficulties involved."

"Then why did you still marry Brother Yu?"

Yun Xiyue looked at her somewhat angry expression and said, "It's the Emperor who insists on marrying me!"

These words are undoubtedly hurtful.

Zeng Rou glared at her angrily, but then she saw the person who came out and immediately asked, "So you don't like Brother Yu?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Yun Xiyue's face turned cold.

"If you don't speak, it means you don't like Brother Yu. Yun Xiyue, since you don't like him, yet you agreed to marry him, it's hypocrisy, because you need the Emperor's power for protection!"

Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly; what she said was true.

So she didn't refute it.

"General Zeng, His Majesty requests your presence," said Eunuch Fu as he approached.

Zeng Rou saw Murong Yu retreat back to his study, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Alright, thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Fu."

“Miss Yun, you have no idea what kind of person Brother Yu is. He would never fall in love with a woman.”

"Because he only has one woman in his heart."

She leaned closer and whispered, "I have an older sister who died trying to save Brother Yu. He felt guilty and kept me by his side."

"The reason I haven't married is because I've already been Yu-gege's woman. I don't care who he marries, because in the end, the most important people in his heart are only me and my sister."

Under the scorching sun, Yun Xiyue's face turned pale; she hadn't expected Zeng Rou to have an older sister.

She and Murong Yu had already... had a romantic relationship?

impossible.

Yun Xiyue felt that she was deliberately deceiving herself.

After watching the woman go inside, Yun Xiyue wanted to ask Leng Yan about how he had followed Murong Yu since he was a child.

However, she wasn't familiar with Leng Yan either.

Eunuch Fu probably doesn't know anything about what's happening at the border.

After thinking it over, she thought of Pei Shang.

After leaving the palace in haste.

She arrived at Fu Rui Lou.

Qi Yuyan was somewhat surprised to see her. "Why are you here?"

"I......"

"Come with me!" Qi Yuyan led her into the private room.

"Is something wrong?"

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, ever since people found out about her relationship with Murong Yu.

Qi Yuyan felt something was off.

"I want to find Pei Shang." Yun Xiyue didn't send anyone to Pei Shang; she just planned to come to Fu Rui Lou to see if she could run into him by chance.
