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

Chapter 65

"Yue'er, it was Yun Xiyue who harmed Yue'er, you should divorce her immediately..." Li Shi shouted angrily and painfully as she grabbed her son's arm, her mouth bleeding.

No matter what she said, Shen Yue didn't believe her, assuming she was just upset. "Mother, let's go back first."

Shen Yue fainted. She would probably be ridiculed for the rest of her life, unable to get married, and her life would be ruined. When she woke up, she was unable to bear it and fainted again.

......

“Your Majesty…I know everything,” Yun Xiyue said as she knelt down upon entering the Imperial Study.

Murong Yu's lips curled slightly. "Get up and talk."

"That day you said the Shen family gave you to Eunuch Liu to play with, and now you say you have nothing to do with it? Do you think I'll believe that?"

Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth from him, Yun Xiyue stopped pretending. "They tried to harm me a second time. If I hadn't fought back, I would be the one who would be ruined today."

Both the Shen family and Eunuch Liu deserve to die.

Murong Yu stood up and walked to her, looking down at her bloodshot eyes. He couldn't help but reach out and stroke them. "I just think you should ask someone for help. You were lucky this time. Eunuch Liu underestimated you. If you encounter something like this again, it won't be so easy to fight back."

He was clearly in the palace; she could have come to find him.

But she insisted on doing it herself, as that eunuch Liu would only dirty her hands.

Yun Xiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't think that much about it at the time..."

Indeed, it was because the other side underestimated her, thinking she was a weak woman, and only sent a palace maid to watch over her.

I didn't know she had a master like Xiao Wei protecting her so she could escape safely.

"Eunuch Liu is dead. What should we say if the Empress Dowager asks?"

Murong Yu smiled and said, "I will handle it, you don't need to worry about it."

He said that as an excuse to see her alone.

How slow-witted is that silly girl who didn't understand?

"Eunuch Liu and the palace maid are both dead, so there's no way to testify against them and accuse the Shen family of their dirty deeds. In the end, we can only explain to the Empress Dowager that it was Eunuch Liu's fault. Is that acceptable?"

Yun Xiyue said, "Well, there's no way to prove it now that the dead are dead. I don't want it to end so soon either."

Despair and pain come one after another, and the longer it goes on, the more painful it becomes.

Just like in her previous life, she suffered torment in a dark room for over twenty years...

Killing them with one blow now would be too cheap.

Murong Yu chuckled, finding her adorable, and couldn't resist pulling her into his arms.

The person in his arms froze instantly, trembling.

"Afraid of me?"

Yun Xiyue's voice trembled slightly, "I'm not afraid..."

She just remembered her past life, and her body instinctively resisted the man's touch.

But Murong Yu is different from them...

But he's a man too.

She had experienced his domineering possessiveness firsthand.

Seeing that she said she wasn't afraid but her body was resisting, Murong Yu released her, saying, "I won't force anyone."

Yun Xiyue felt ashamed. He had helped her, and the only thing she could give him was... this body.

But she couldn't bring him joy.

"Your Majesty, if there is anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask. I... will certainly do my best to assist you."

Murong Yu found it amusing. "Serving a woman like a servant? How incompetent would I be to have a woman serve me like a servant?"

"That's not what I meant... Your Majesty is wise and mighty..."

Murong Yu smiled and said, "I understand. There's no need to be nervous."

"The banquet is about to begin. Princess Qin will come to pick you up. Go with her first."

When he came out of the imperial study, Princess Qin had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Xi Yue!" Xiao Rongrong rushed over.
