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

Chapter 449

"He's just a merchant, yet His Majesty personally went to fetch him. What an honor!"

Murong Yu intended to give a warning, but Yunnan Sheng stopped him, saying, "General Zeng Xiao is right. I am just a merchant, crude and only know how to be greedy for profit. I really cannot be compared with General Zeng."

"I heard Miss Zeng was arrested. That's so careless! I heard she's a female general, skilled in both literature and military affairs. How could she have been arrested like that!"

Zeng Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately became furious and embarrassed. "Are you deliberately trying to disgust me?"

"I wouldn't dare!" Yunnan Sheng waved his sleeve, releasing a powerful aura that was comparable to the killing intent of millions of enemy soldiers.

Zeng Xiao broke out in a cold sweat and dared not make a move.

Yunnan Shengze sat down as if nothing had happened.

"Your Majesty, leave the rescue to me. You need not worry."

Zeng Xiao sneered, "What makes you think you can save people? Besides, who are you? What gives you the right to save people just because you're helping the Emperor?"

"Just because I am the future father-in-law of the emperor. Although I am old and not as young and impetuous as Zeng Xiao, I am more than capable of saving a weak woman."

His nonchalant demeanor only made Zeng Xiao seem more impulsive and reckless.

"Zeng Xiao!" Murong Yu shouted angrily, "If you don't want to eat, then get back home."

Pei Shang quickly came over and pulled the person away.

If it weren't for his childhood friendship with the emperor, he would probably have been beheaded long ago.

Pei Shang gave him a good scolding.

Sikong Xuanche and his men dared not make any further rash moves.

All three positions came to a halt.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. We haven't lost yet. As long as Murong Yu's woman is in our hands, he will be hesitant to act rashly."

Lin Huangjin said, "Zeng Rou may not be able to threaten Murong Yu. If she were really his woman, she would have been made empress long ago."

Gu Jinchen said, "Speaking of which, the empress he's going to marry is a merchant's daughter?"

"Indeed, she is said to be the former wife of a minister."

Sikong Xuanche immediately scoffed, "He must be starving! He actually picked up a woman that other people didn't want."

"I'll make a good fool of him then."

Lin Huangjin frowned. "That woman isn't as bad as Your Majesty thinks. She's the only daughter of the Yun family, and her previous marriage was just a case of marrying the wrong person. The grain and horses that Great Xia received this time were all provided by the Yun family, who contributed money and effort. How could a small family like the Yun family have such great power?"

"So what? They are still merchants. They have money, but no troops. What Great Xia lacks now is not food and supplies."

indeed.

"But you say this woman has aroused such great interest in Murong Yu that he is willing to marry her. Then I am curious."

"Where is she? Find a way to bring her here. Then, with both her new and old flames, let Murong Yu choose. He can only save one." Sikong Xuanche became excited, eager to see Murong Yu's pained expression.

Lin Huangjin smiled and said, "Then I'll go there myself."

"Why do you have to go yourself?" Gu Jinchen found it strange.

Lin Huangjin smiled slightly, "I'm afraid those people are too rude and might hurt someone."

"Is she a delicate beauty?" Gu Jinchen immediately became interested. If he could really capture her, he would also like to taste the flavor of Murong Yu's woman.

“If she’s not beautiful, how could Murong Yu have taken a liking to her?” Sikong Xuanche thought she must be a beauty.

"We'll all enjoy it together then!"

A burst of laughter erupted in the military camp.

Only Lin Huangjin's eyes darkened slightly; he didn't smile, and his appearance was terrifying, giving the impression that he might come over and snap their necks at any moment.

"What's wrong, Brother Lin?"

Lin Huangjin said coldly, "She is also a woman I have my eye on."

Gu Jinchen: "..."

Sikong Xuanche: "..."

"She can only be mine."

The male wolf's protective gaze is terrifying.

The two immediately declared that they would not harm their brother's woman.

"You're in the capital of Great Xia, won't you be discovered if you go there like this?"

Lin Huangjin said he would make the arrangements.

But just as they were about to set off, they learned that Yun Xiyue was no longer in the capital.

"She'll definitely come to the border, so let's wait and see!"

Lin Huangjin thought it made sense, so he didn't set off, but instead kept an eye on the Yun family's grain delivery team.

After being attacked several times, Murong Yu began to worry and sent reinforcements.

Zeng Xiao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go and assist in escorting the grain supplies!"

He wanted to see what Yunnan Sheng, this man, had to be proud of!
