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

Chapter 555

“If Zeng Rou is dealt with, your life will be in danger! There are many issues involved.”

“You’re deliberately trying to frame Zeng Rou. If the Zeng family investigates, you’ll be the only one who will die in the end, just to keep the peace,” Yun Xiyue said.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, he was a guard for a hostage princess.

How can she be compared to the daughter of a powerful minister, the Emperor's Consort Shu?

Bai Jian raised an eyebrow slightly. "I didn't slander her. She was just trying to seduce me."

Yunxi Yue: "......"

"How so?" she asked, becoming gossipy.

Bai Jian laughed and said, "She knew all along that I hadn't been castrated. Your brother and I had already discussed it, and if she tried to scheme against you, we would just turn the tables on her. Who would have thought she would be so stupid?"

She had truly walked into a trap meticulously designed by him and Yun Xiaohan.

Yun Xiaohan wanted to get rid of Zeng Rou for his sister.

Bai Jian was in the same boat because the woman deliberately caused him trouble, which angered him.

The fact that Zeng Rou wasn't killed only shows that she had powerful backing.

"I never imagined that she knew I hadn't been castrated, yet she deliberately let me into her room to serve her and massage her body..."

He touched his nose without going into details about the massage, knowing that Yun Xiyue would probably blush if he did.

"In short, I didn't lie. She was only angry and wanted to kill me because she felt guilty."

Bai Jian is quite good-looking, and her temperament is somewhat similar to that of a young Murong Yu!

Zeng Rou grew up in a military camp, unlike other young ladies from prominent families, so it's not surprising that she had such a bold idea.

She only had the idea; she didn't dare to actually have an affair with a man.

Bai Jianyi clearly intended to seduce her into bed, and it's likely that it will work out.

He simply didn't want to do it.

"Anyway, she's no good. I feel disgusted just looking at her. No wonder Murong Yu is disgusted."

"Zeng Rou is indeed disgusting."

Bai Jian witnessed firsthand the perverse behavior of women in the harem during his stay at Qinghuan Palace these past few days.

In Murong Yu's harem, there seem to be several perverted women.

No wonder he didn't want to touch it; if it were him, he wouldn't want to either.

Even if there were no feelings involved, the idea of ​​just sleeping together and that would be the end of it all still disgusted Bai Jian; she was physically and mentally resistant to it.

"So you came to Great Xia, really to become a prince consort?"

He is very clever and indeed has extraordinary abilities.

He managed to turn the situation around in today's incident, which shows his remarkable resourcefulness.

Bai Jian's eyes turned cold and he did not answer her.

Thinking of the foolish things Sikong Xuanling did.

Yun Xiyue felt a little sorry for him. "Go back! You can ask my older brother for help if you need anything."

"Yes, thank you." Bai Jian was genuinely grateful to him; she had secretly reminded and helped him, which had saved them from danger.

......

Murong Yu returned from Funing Palace with a dark and gloomy expression.

"Let's eat first." Yun Xiyue didn't ask any more questions and had the meal set out.

Murong Yu had no appetite. "Ah Yue, aren't you angry?"

"The Zeng brothers are still in the capital, which is why Zeng Rou acts so lawlessly."

"If Your Majesty really wants to punish her, you can wait until the Zeng family has all gone to the border."

Murong Yu said, "General Zeng has chosen to retire, so he probably won't go to the border. Also, Zeng Rou's mother and Zeng Xiao will stay in the capital for the time being."

General Zeng was a man of great virtue and prestige.

His achievements throughout his life were immense, making him an equal to General Xiao.

It was only because the Empress Dowager deliberately protected her that she acted so recklessly.

"Those who deserve punishment should still be punished."

“Isn’t she serving the Empress Dowager in her palace? First, punish her by cutting off her salary for two years, making her serve the Empress Dowager in her palace, and also make her copy Buddhist scriptures ten times a day to pray for the Empress Dowager’s well-being.”

Murong Yu was not satisfied until he vented his anger. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's serious illness and her intentional protection, he would have definitely banished her to the Cold Palace today.

"Yes, we'll do as you say!" So they sent someone to Funing Palace to deliver the message.

Zeng Rou was punished, but the others were rewarded; everyone received a reward.

Yun Xiyue used Murong Yu's name to have Eunuch Fu deliver it.

This was done to appease people.

"You're fining me again! Why? Why do others reward me while I get punished?" Zeng Rou became furious upon hearing this. She could tolerate being forced to copy texts, kneel, or be confined to her quarters, but what she feared most was having her salary deducted.

"Was this Yun Xiyue's idea?"
