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

Chapter 64

Murong Yu's face was dark and gloomy as he stared at the palace maid. "Who told you to do this?"

The palace maid panicked and was about to say something when she suddenly vomited blood and died from the poison.

"Your Majesty, she committed suicide by poisoning herself."

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. With the palace maid dead, there was no way to verify the story. "If the person inside wasn't Madam Shen, then who could it be?"

Li felt a chill run through her body as she searched for her daughter.

"Drag him out!" Murong Yu said coldly.

The Imperial Guards went in, dragged the man out, and threw him on the ground.

"Ah...no, no..." Shen Yue's clothes were tattered, her body was covered in bruises, her skirt was also torn, blood was flowing from her inner thighs, her whole body was covered in wounds, her face was covered in tears, her eyes were empty and desperate, and she screamed no to anyone who came near.

"Yue'er!" Madam Li cried out in anguish, rushing forward to embrace her daughter. "Don't be afraid, it's your mother, don't be afraid..."

Shen Yue's face turned pale; he never expected it to be his own younger sister.

"Your Majesty, please do justice for Yue'er!" Yun Xiyue knelt down and pleaded.

"Yue'er is only fifteen years old... He's a beast."

Still in a state of excitement, Eunuch Liu rushed over to hug Yun Xiyue as soon as he saw her, exclaiming, "My little beauty..."

"presumptuous!"

A figure came over, kicked Eunuch Liu away, and then hugged her.

Yun Xiyue, still shaken, quickly pulled away from his embrace, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

“Eunuch Liu dared to do such a cruel thing; someone must have instigated him. I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter,” she continued, kneeling down.

Murong Yu said, "Drag him away and hand him over to the Censorate for questioning."

"I'll kill you!" At that moment, Li Shi went mad and drew her sword, slashing at Eunuch Liu.

Stabbing wildly.

Blood splattered everywhere.

"Mother, that's enough." Shen Yue hurriedly went over to stop her.

Li's eyes were bloodshot with rage. She screamed and frantically stabbed at Eunuch Liu's corpse until his eyes rolled back, he coughed up blood, and lay motionless.

Exhausted, she collapsed to the ground, clutching her daughter and wailing, "My poor child... Mother has avenged you, don't be afraid..."

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu is dead."

Murong Yu's face was ashen. He glanced at Shen Yue and said, "Lord An, take your mother and sister back to the manor to heal their wounds first! Eunuch Liu is dead, so there's no way to investigate further."

Shen Yue's face was ashen, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Turning around, Murong Yu glanced at Yun Xiyue, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Mrs. Shen."

Yun Xiyue hurriedly lowered her eyes and wiped the corners of her eyes, pretending to be startled.

"This matter concerns you. Go to the Imperial Study and explain yourself."

Yunxi Yue: "......"

It's not that there's no way to investigate further, does it mean we should just give up?

Shen Yue said, "Your Majesty..."

“For something like this to happen in the palace, and Eunuch Liu is someone close to the Empress Dowager, we still need to give the Empress Dowager an explanation.” Before he could finish speaking, Murong Yu raised his hand to interrupt him.

Yun Xiyue glanced at Shen Yue and Madam Li and said, "My lord, I'm fine. Let's take Yue'er and Mother back first!"

Fearing that Eunuch Liu would expose their shameful deeds, Li killed him to silence him.

What a ruthless and insane person!

His attempt to steal a chicken backfired, costing him his daughter's entire life. Experience that despair for a moment!

Although their true colors weren't exposed, the fact that Eunuch Liu was stabbed to death, Shen Yue was disgraced, and Li Shi was in pain made Yun Xiyue happy and relieved.

Li stared at her with bloodshot, gloomy eyes, wishing she could kill her as she had killed Eunuch Liu, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Yun Xiyue glanced at her coldly, a slight smile playing on her lips as she turned and left. “Mother, don’t be too sad. Eunuch Liu is dead. Yue’er doesn’t have to marry him as a concubine. You should feel fortunate for her.”

Ah!

Li felt a metallic taste of blood in her throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
