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

Chapter 473

Yun Xiyue disguised herself and put on a veil. "Second Master, it's been a long time."

"You should call me Second Uncle," Bai Jue said with a smile.

Her current identity is Bai Xintang, the eldest daughter of the Bai family.

"Then are you really my second uncle?"

Bai Jue smiled and said, "Yes, the Bai and Yun families are originally one family."

The Bai family is a branch of the Yun family, and they had actually lost contact long ago.

The Bai family once enjoyed great power and prestige in the Northern Palace Kingdom, but when they fell on hard times, they were taken advantage of and nearly wiped out.

It was Yunnan Sheng who came to their rescue.

Secretly supporting the Bai family, they restored them to their peak in just two years. At this point, they firmly believed that their bloodline as fellow citizens was their strongest support.

After that, the Bai family returned to the Yun clan, but this was not announced to the public. The Bai family established a foothold in the Beigong Kingdom but engaged in business in the Dawei Kingdom.

In the Great Wei Kingdom, he was merely a wealthy merchant.

"Who is the contact person for the Yun family in the Great Wei Kingdom?"

"The Gong family."

Bai Jue smiled and said, "You've come this time to arrange a marriage with the young master of the Gong family."

"Second Uncle, I'm already engaged," Yun Xiyue said hurriedly.

"There are plenty of men out there. You can change whenever you want. I heard that even the Empress Dowager of the Murong family doesn't like you. She's so annoying." Bai Jue was actually unhappy with her choice of Murong Yu, because the Empress Dowager of the Murong family bullied her sometimes.

"However, don't be nervous. The marriage is real, but it's not with you. Bai Xintang is my niece."

When she gets married, it will be Bai Xintang.

Yun Xiyue felt this was inappropriate. "Let the Gong family talk to me! I need to explain my identity to them."

"Otherwise, people might misunderstand."

Her fiancé, the emperor, is quite jealous.

The shadow is still following! He will report everything in detail.

If she doesn't take the initiative to sever ties, Murong Yu certainly won't be able to stay in the military camp and strategize with peace of mind.

Bai Jue laughed and said, "Alright!"

"Did the Beigong Kingdom send the Bai family to help it win over the Great Wei?"

Bai Jue said, "No. Sikong Xuanche sent someone else to win me over. I'm just a businessman."

"Merchants do not participate in the major events of their country's wars."

Businessmen only talk about profits.

Yunnan Sheng issued an order forbidding the Bai family from supplying provisions to the Northern Palace court.

So he could only find an excuse to go out and hide. Just then, Yun Xiyue was coming to the Great Wei, and Yunnan Sheng was currently in the Eastern Ling Kingdom. He was worried about his daughter, so he asked him to come and meet her.

It's also true that the eldest daughter of the Bai family and the eldest son of the Gong family were engaged, but Bai Xintang was unwilling and ran away from the marriage.

Bai Jue's head ached just thinking about it. "I don't want the Bai family to know, that's why I want you to play Xintang."

"The Gong family is our ally, isn't it? It's not right to deceive them like this."

Bai Jue thought for a moment, then said, "I'll do whatever you say!"

The capital of the Great Wei Kingdom is indeed very prosperous.

Both were great powers, but the Great Xia was inferior to them!

"The Great Wei Kingdom does not fight wars often, and the people live in peace and contentment, so it is naturally different."

"Mainly because the area is vast and rich in resources."

The two went to the Gong family together.

When the Gong family came to meet them, they were all very respectful and courteous.

After learning Yun Xiyue's identity, they became even more respectful and enthusiastic.

Upon learning that Bai Xintang had run away from her arranged marriage, the Gong family head's expression changed, and he even asked Yun Xiyue to intervene on behalf of their son.

Bai Jue had to apologize and smile obsequiously to calm the irritable head of the Gong family.

"The young lady has important business to attend to in the Great Wei. Brother Gong, could you please not cause her any trouble?"

Gong Chenrui snorted lightly, then smiled at Yun Xiyue, "Young Miss, would you like to see the Emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom, or..."

Who has the most say in the Great Wei Kingdom?

Gong Chenrui said, "Regent!"

"However, the Regent has been missing for more than two years. It is said that he went into seclusion, but who knows where he went? Rumor has it that he has simply disappeared."

"But he holds all the military power in the Great Wei Kingdom. He is a very mysterious person, and ordinary people can never see him."

Even though he hasn't shown his face for two years, he still holds great power.

"So, the Great Wei Kingdom's refusal to lend troops is just an excuse, and the real reason is that the Regent is not here and unable to make a decision?" Yun Xiyue asked.

Gong Chenrui nodded. "Mm."
