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

Chapter 649

Now in various countries and regions.

To conceal their family's wealth, they never revealed their identities and rarely interacted openly with the Yun family. Even when they did meet, they did so as business partners.

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Madam Yun laughed and said, "I'm afraid they'll all be vying to become sons-in-law of the Yun family, and it'll be troublesome if they start fighting."

So Yun Xiaohan was chosen early on, because he was the eldest brother and was excellent in every way, which convinced everyone else.

They all accepted him.

But in the end, things didn't go as planned, and Yun Xiyue didn't fall in love with Yun Xiaohan.

"Don't tell the Emperor about my sworn brother." Yun Xiyue was really afraid that he would get jealous again.

Madam Yun nodded. "In any case, your eldest brother is probably a child of the Xiao family, making him and Ling'er cousins..."

If this were to become known, Yun Xiaohan and the others would be branded as guilty of incest.

"Did you know all along, which is why you didn't consummate your marriage with your sister-in-law?"

Madam Yun shook her head, "I didn't know when he first married Ling'er. It was someone who secretly contacted him later."

It happened just a few days after their wedding.

When he went to the Xiao family, someone recognized that he looked like a member of the Xiao family.

But by then it was too late.

The fourth branch of the Xiao family is now causing trouble.

Master Xiao Si believes Yun Xiaohan is his son and wants to bring him back.

His wife disagreed, saying that the illegitimate child was not allowed to be recognized as a member of the family.

On the first wife's side, the first wife cried her heart out, cursing the fourth wife's family for being inhuman, believing that the fourth wife's family had deliberately harmed her daughter and that they should have known but hadn't told them.

They should have told them sooner. Now that they've consummated their marriage, what is she going to do with her Ling'er?

They dared not tell Xiao Ling'er about this, fearing that she would be too upset and contemplate suicide.

Madam Yun said, "I was worried that Ling'er would find out sooner or later in the capital, so I had someone secretly send her to Jiangnan. She should be with your elder brother now."

Yun Xiyue's head suddenly throbbed. "Mother, how is my eldest brother supposed to face my sister-in-law? He went to Jiangnan precisely because he didn't know how to face her."

"We'll have to face that sooner or later. Besides, Liu Muyuan is eyeing us covetously. We're also worried that if Han'er isn't here, he'll take his revenge on Ling'er."

"This is not their fault."

Madam Yun felt sorry and heartbroken for her two children.

Yun Xiyue was also worried that once they arrived in Jiangnan, Liu Muyuan would chase after them like a mad dog and cause them trouble.

They secretly sent people to keep an eye on Liu Muyuan and the Liu family.

"Your Majesty, Liu Muyuan doesn't have time to deal with the eldest son now, because the two consorts are fighting each other. It has to be said that His Majesty is more powerful," said Granny Cao admiringly.

The Emperor was incredibly insightful.

With the princess now having a secondary consort, the primary consort began to feel threatened, especially since he was impotent and only Liu Mushi served the princess in bed.

Liu Muyuan couldn't stand being cuckolded, so he fought with Liu Mushi and tried to kill him. Because the emperor was backing him up, he couldn't beat the concubine.

The power struggles among the men in the princess's household are quite fascinating.

Some people have even written stories about them, and they've sold exceptionally well.

It sold very well at Yunjia Bookstore.

Granny Cao brought her a book to cheer her up.

"Also, I've found out that the eldest son of the Zeng family and the second young lady of the Pei family are engaged and will be getting married soon. In addition, the second young master of the Zeng family is marrying the second young lady of the Liu family, Liu Mushi's sister."

"The Zeng family has four or five sons, and they are all getting married one after another."

He married daughters of powerful families in the capital.
