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

Chapter 59

Shen Yue was speechless after being rebuked and wished he could just walk away, but they underestimated his shamelessness. "It's all my fault. I'm sorry to Yue'er. From now on, I will treat her well and will never let her down again."

He apologized in a humble voice. If the Yun family continued to hold this matter against him, it would seem unreasonable. Yun Xiaohan looked at her and asked, "Yue'er, do you want to go back?"

Yun Xiyue knew that the Shen family wouldn't let her leave until they achieved their goal, and she was determined to ruin the Shen family's reputation. "Well, I'll go back first and visit my brother later."

Does she like Shen Yue that much? Yun Xiaohan felt disappointed, but forced a smile, "Okay, I'll take you."

"Brother, come to the Marquis's residence together!" Shen Yue immediately invited him to return to the Marquis's residence together.

This was Yun Xiaohan's first visit to the Shen family.

He didn't know that the family was so hospitable, preparing food and drinks to entertain him.

Yun Xiyue found it strange that Madam Li, Shen Yue, and the Grand Madam had all come to dine with her, their hospitality was excessive. Could it be that they wanted to...?

"Young Master Yun, please have a seat. We haven't apologized to you for what happened last time. It was all because the servants were blind. We've already dealt with them. You can come to the Marquis's residence to see Yue'er anytime you wish."

Madam Li beckoned her daughter, Shen Yue, over, "This is your first time visiting the Marquis's residence, you probably don't recognize the younger generation. This is my daughter, Shen Yue..."

Several younger relatives were introduced, but it wasn't done in a very deliberate way.

Yun Xiyue understood their intentions. "Brother, it's getting late. Don't you still need to deliver new tea to the Prince? You should go back soon!"

Yun Xiaohan was also uncomfortable with the Shen family's enthusiasm, so he quickly made an excuse to leave, saying, "Okay, I'll come see you another day."

After the meal

Li pulled Yunxi Yue along, saying, "Yue'er, don't go yet, I have something to discuss with you."

"I met your older brother today, and he is indeed a handsome man. Is he married?"

Yun Xiyue sneered inwardly, "My elder brother is already engaged and will be getting married soon."

Trying to mess with the boss? You're asking for trouble!

A woman like Shen Yue wouldn't even consider it dirty to carry her brother's shoes.

"Which family's daughter is it? I've never heard you mention her before." Madam Li was somewhat disappointed. It was just an engagement; it could be called off.

“A girl from Yunzhou. My elder brother will not marry a lady from a prominent family in the capital. Thank you for your concern, Mother.” Yun Xiyue withdrew her hand and glanced at Shen Yue. “Mother, please find someone else!”

Li was immediately embarrassed, and Shen Yue also blushed. "Hmph, I never said I wanted to marry your older brother. Stop trying to make yourself look good. A merchant's adopted son isn't even worthy of being my stable boy."

Yun Xiyue was not annoyed, but just smiled faintly, "That's right. As the eldest daughter of a marquis's family, you should be matched with a noble person like the Prince of Qin's heir. It's just a pity that the Prince of Qin's heir said that your character is not good and your mind is not right."

Shen Yue blushed instantly and became angry. "It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, the Prince of Qin wouldn't have said that to me."

"Mother, I don't want to live anymore..."

As she spoke, she cried and ran out, covering her face. Madam Li quickly ordered someone to follow her, saying, "Go and watch over the young lady, don't let her do anything foolish."

"How could you say that about Xiaoyue?" Li was both angry and furious, glaring at her fiercely. "If anything were to happen to Xiaoyue..."

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "I'm just telling the truth. It's the Prince of Qin who says she has ulterior motives and is of bad character, not me."

"Furthermore, Princess Qin does indeed intend to form a marriage alliance with the Shen family, but Shen Yue herself is unworthy of respect and speaks such nonsense in the palace, which was seen by the Prince of Qin."

“If the Prince of Qin does not like her, then this marriage cannot happen.”

Unexpectedly, the Prince of Qin's mansion intended to form a marriage alliance with the Shen family.

Madam Li was filled with remorse. "Yue'er, do you think we can talk to Princess Qin again and see if there's still a chance? I'll have Xiao Yue apologize to you."

"We'll see when the time comes! If she continues to be disrespectful to me and spout nonsense, who will help her?" Yun Xiyue coldly said.

Compared to Yun Xiaohan, the Prince of Qin is definitely better.
