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

Chapter 415

Madam Yun said, "After all, she has a formal title now. I heard that Zeng Rou and the Emperor were childhood sweethearts. If she enters the palace, how can he not touch her? Yue'er, what I'm asking is whether you mind if he has a child with another woman?"

In this respect, the Yun family's situation is the opposite of the Murong family's.

Murong Yu was an emperor, and he needed many offspring.

It's impossible that she was the only one who bore him children.

Yun Xiyue smiled bitterly, "So didn't I say I wouldn't marry? But Mother, you all think I should marry the Emperor. Didn't you think about that?"

Of course she minds!

Who wouldn't mind their husband having children with another woman? It would only cause them more distress.

Women are traditionally expected to remain faithful to one man until death. She felt this was unfair and didn't want to get married.

She didn't want to get married; in fact, she even wanted to take revenge by marrying three or four husbands. Or, like those princesses of the past who kept male concubines, she had the money and the means to do so.

Supporting several men shouldn't be a problem at all, right?

"Moon..." Madam Yun felt a pang of self-reproach.

"It's my fault. Otherwise, I would have asked your father to go to the palace to cancel this marriage. Fortunately, you two haven't gotten married yet, so it's still possible to cut your losses in time."

Yun Xiyue was surprised, "Our family can break off an engagement?"

Xiao Ling'er was even more shocked, cold sweat poured down her back, and she stared at Madam Yun with a terrified look in her eyes.

"Mother, what are you saying! That's the Emperor! How can you just call off the engagement like that!"

Yun Xiyue was a woman who had been married twice, so she was considered unworthy of the emperor.

The Yun family actually said they wanted to break off the engagement? Was she joking? Even those who wield immense power wouldn't dare to break off an engagement with the Emperor so easily, would they?

Madam Yun scoffed, "Why not?"

It's as if they don't take the emperor seriously.

"Then let's give it a try?" Yun Xiyue suddenly wondered where her mother got her confidence from.

Is there a secret she doesn't know?

Her parents looked quite ordinary, but there was always this feeling that they wouldn't even flinch if the sky were to fall.

Yunnan Sheng smiled and said, "Madam is right. We can't let the Murong family bully our daughter all the time."

“Now that the engagement is complete, the former concubines don’t count. If they want to take a concubine now, it’s not up to them to just decide to take one.”

“My lady, don’t worry, I will go to the palace.”

Madam Yun nodded. "Show your domineering side. That Empress Dowager Pei is really going too far. We have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she'll think our family is easy to bully."

Yunnan Shengjin Palace.

“Uncle…” Murong Yu hadn’t expected him to enter the palace, and a bad feeling suddenly crept into his heart.

"Your Majesty." After bowing, Yunnan Sheng changed his usual amiable demeanor, his expression becoming serious and his gaze sharp. "I have come to annul the engagement. The Empress Dowager has many grievances against Yue'er. Since that is the case, then the engagement shall be annulled."

"Uncle, is there some misunderstanding?" Murong Yu quickly stood up and invited him to sit down and talk.

"There is no misunderstanding. We all know that it was the Empress Dowager's intention to confer the title of Consort De on Zeng Rou. That means the Empress Dowager was not satisfied with my daughter."

"Marriage is a matter between two families. You are royalty, so you can't be considered equals. But a forced marriage is never sweet, and a marriage that is not approved by the elders is destined to have a bad ending."

"The Emperor has invited the Empress Dowager over; I will discuss this matter with her personally."

My future father-in-law has a commanding presence.

Murong Yu realized that the Yun family was serious this time.

"Please come to the Imperial Study, Mother."
