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

Chapter 524

"I don't want to take control of the Phoenix Seal!" Yun Xiyue told him directly after leaving Funing Palace.

Murong Yu laughed and said, "Then let's not worry about it. I was just trying to give the Empress Dowager a warning. It's not just me who cares about people. She does too."

"The Empress Dowager dotes on Pei Fang the most. If she were to be deprived of her power and the position of Imperial Concubine, the Empress Dowager would definitely not agree."

Yun Xiyue sighed helplessly, "The relationship between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager is truly exceptionally strained!"

"It's even harder for us to reconcile if I'm caught in the middle."

The Empress Dowager still harbored great hostility towards her.

Murong Yu took her hand and they strolled together in the Imperial Garden.

The garden is planted with the same roses as those in Xiyue Pavilion.

It is dazzling and has a wonderful aroma.

"It's alright, I'm used to it. Mother likes to control everything. She doesn't like you because you're too outstanding and you met the conditions she set."

"This made her uncomfortable because my choice was correct. It made her feel that the plan had failed and she had lost control."

That's why I'm targeting you.

Murong Yu was open-minded, saying, "Between my mother and me, the relationship is first and foremost that of Empress Dowager and Emperor. If she had chosen a mother-son relationship, things wouldn't be like this."

Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager chose power.

She wanted her chosen person to be queen.

The future Crown Prince of Great Xia will still be a prince born to a daughter of the Pei family.

The Pei family's power will only grow stronger in the future.

"Then... will the Emperor suppress the Pei family?" Yun Xiyue was a little worried. Gong Shu married Pei Shang, and if Murong Yu wanted to suppress the Pei family, she would be implicated.

Murong Yu couldn't give her a guarantee, "That depends on Pei Shang's choice."

Currently, Pei Shang is on his side.

But nobody knows what will happen in the future.

Human nature changes and we grow; the choices we make at each stage will be different.

"Ah."

Yunxi Yue didn't want to speculate too much, so she left it at that.

When will Pei Shang and Gong Shu's wedding begin?

"It depends on the Pei family's preparations."

Gong Shu is temporarily staying at the Yun residence, and will also marry from the Yun residence.

Madam Pei was not satisfied with her.

Gong Shu bought gifts and had them delivered to Pei Qi Shi and the others at the Pei family home. The servants returned and said that their attitude was not very good.

Madam Yun asked her to deliver it, also to test the Pei family's attitude.

The result is true.

"Xiao Shu, why don't you not get married?"

Gong Shu said, "But Aunt, I like Pei Shang, and I think Pei Shang and the Emperor are both very good men. They have their own opinions and don't always listen to their mothers. His mother doesn't like me, and I won't marry her. The one I'll spend my life with is Pei Shang."

"Oh! Silly girl!"

Madam Yun didn't know how to persuade her.

That makes sense, but who can guarantee that Pei Shang won't neglect her feelings because of his family in the future?

Madam Yun was worried that her daughter would be bullied by the Empress Dowager and her women.

"Auntie, don't worry. Sister Xiyue is very capable! Even without the Emperor's help, she can handle those women." Gong Shu thought Yun Xiyue was very capable, so there was really no need to worry.

“Sister Xiyue has chosen to enter the palace, which means she has already thought of a plan. So have I. It doesn’t matter if Madam Pei doesn’t like me. Once I enter the Pei family, if I try to please her, she will be willing to back down, and then we can all live in peace. If she isn’t, I will ignore her.”

"If I improve my relationship with Pei Shang and make him only love me, then Pei Shang will help me. There's nothing she can do about it, right?"

“If one day Pei Shang changes his mind and stops liking me, then I will divorce him. I like him now, so it will be difficult for me to marry someone else, and that wouldn't be fair to them. So I might as well marry the person I like now.”

She has the support of the Gong family and the Yun family.

Even if they divorce, she can afford to lose.

"Pei Shang has been very good to me so far, I have nothing to complain about. I don't want to miss this opportunity, it's not easy to fall in love with someone."

“I’ve met several men in Dawei before, but I didn’t feel anything for them.”

If she marries down to a poor family, it will be even more troublesome if the man is after her dowry.

Pei Shang's character and family background are impeccable.

Gong Shu felt she had no reason not to marry him!

Madam Yun laughed, "You clever little devil! You're right. Trying to bully our Yun family's daughters won't be so easy. Our daughters are known for their strong sense of love and hate!"
