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

Chapter 50

Clothes were scattered all over the floor inside the room.

Lin Bao'er felt as if her heart was being torn apart. "My lord, it's getting late. It's time to get up and attend the morning court session."

He called out twice, but the person on the bed did not respond.

"My lord..." After a while, a woman's voice came from inside.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Yue was seen embracing a woman, the two pressed tightly together, both completely naked.

"what......"

Lin Bao'er was startled. Yun Xiyue was outside. This was Yun Xiyue's room. If the person on the bed wasn't her, then who could it be?

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yun Xiyue led her people in quickly.

"Sister, wasn't the Marquis with you last night? Isn't this your room? How come there's another woman in bed?" Lin Bao'er turned around and looked at her, her face pale.

Yun Xiyue was also surprised. "I gave my room to the Marquis last night. I stayed in the second bedroom."

"Madam, spare my life!"

"Qinghe? It's you!"

When Shen Yue woke up and realized who the woman from last night was, his face instantly turned ashen. "Yun Xiyue, you'd better explain to me clearly what exactly happened!"

Yun Xiyue covered her face and said, "My lord, you should get dressed first before we talk!"

After a short while, Qinghe and Shen Yue were both dressed and ready. Qinghe knelt on the ground and cried her heart out.

“Last night, when the lady heard that the Marquis was going to stay, she gave the master bedroom to the Marquis to rest in, and slept in the second bedroom herself. Then she sent a maid to serve the Marquis.”

"Who knew that as soon as I came in, the Marquis pounced on me... Waaah."

Lin Bao'er's eyes were blazing with anger. She grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it over the table. "How dare you! You have the nerve to say that. It was clearly you who shamelessly seduced the Marquis!"

Shen Yue's face was dark and gloomy, his gaze fixed coldly on Yun Xiyue. "I want an explanation from you."

“I remember you didn’t leave last night. Why is the person in the room Qinghe? How come a maid is wearing your clothes and on your bed?”

He was drugged, but he didn't completely lose consciousness; Qingmei was still desperately trying to stop him.

Yun Xiyue looked aggrieved. "My lord, you said you only have Princess Nanqiang in your heart and would never touch me. I was heartbroken, so after putting down my chopsticks, I went to the second bedroom to rest. I didn't want to stay and get in your way. Qingmei didn't know at first; I originally asked her to stay and serve you your meal."

"Later, I sent Qinghe to inform you, but who knew that the Marquis..."

"If Your Excellency likes Qinghe, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to humiliate me like this! And to take Qinghe in my own room—where will I put my face if word gets out!"

Shen Yue frowned. Had he guessed wrong?

If such a thing happened in her room with her personal maid, it would indeed be a disgrace to her if word got out.

Besides, what woman would push her husband to another woman?

Besides, Yun Xiyue likes him.

He rejected her first last night, and she was indeed very heartbroken...

"Since things have come to this, Qinghe will be made a concubine and stay by the Marquis's side to serve him."

Lin Bao'er's expression changed, and she immediately disagreed, "No."

“Why not? Qinghe was my dowry maid, and this didn’t happen by her own will. It was the Marquis who took a fancy to Qinghe.”

"Princess, please rest assured. Being a concubine will not threaten your position in the Marquis's heart. Last night, the Marquis said that you are the only one in his heart and there will be no other woman."

There wouldn't be any other women, yet he slept with a maid?

Lin Bao'er felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if pierced by a thousand arrows. She looked up at Shen Yue with teary eyes.

"My lord..."

Shen Yue had no way to express his suffering. Could he say that it was because Li had drugged him?

"Bao'er, go back first, I'll explain to you later, okay? It's not what you think, it was just an accident, I drank too much last night."
