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

Chapter 69

"who is it?"

Lin Bao'er sneered, "The coachman beside her may seem inconspicuous, but he is actually a master. If she didn't have someone protecting her, she wouldn't be able to escape danger so easily every time."

The old lady's eyes darkened. "Then we must find a way to get rid of this stableman as soon as possible."

"Leave this to me, Grandmother, please rest assured."

......

"Madam, Xiaowei is injured."

At night, Xiao Wei collapsed in the courtyard gate covered in blood. Qingmei and Granny Cao found him and brought him back immediately.

Yun Xiyue hurriedly brought over a first-aid kit. "There's poison on the wound. The knife was poisoned. They want Xiaowei dead."

Who is it?

She had an antidote given to her by her master, which could cure all poisons. Xiao Wei slowly woke up after taking it. "Madam... is Princess Nanqiang's person. She seems to know my identity."

Yun Xiyue gritted her teeth, "You go to your elder brother's place to recover first. I will make her pay for this in blood."

"Please invite the Marquis over."

When Shen Yue entered, he smelled blood and instinctively frowned. "What happened?"

“Someone tried to assassinate my groom. This is evidence left by the assassin.” Yun Xiyue tossed a token in front of him.

Shen Yue picked it up and glanced at it, his expression changing slightly. "This..."

"My lord, you wouldn't be unaware of this token, would you? The Southern Qiang princess has brought assassins to Great Xia. If I were to expose this, do you think she would have any chance of survival?"

Shen Yue's eyes darkened slightly as he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "You dare!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? She touched my people, so don't blame me for retaliating in kind," Yun Xiyue said angrily.

Shen Yue glanced at the barely alive coachman, "He's just a coachman."

"Those are my men too, and the other one is just a stable boy. Why is she so determined to kill them all?"

Shen Yue choked, unable to utter a single word.

"If you don't know, then let me tell you. It was she who bribed the bandits to kidnap me, and it was Xiao Wei who protected me. Xiao Wei was a bodyguard that my father arranged for me, specifically to protect my safety."

She knew I had people protecting me, which is why she wanted to get rid of me. Then she used the same trick again, kidnapping me and swindling money from the Yun family. Yun Xiyue sneered. This matter couldn't be kept secret sooner or later, so it was better to tell Lin Bao'er and Li Shi.

Why don't she tell him the truth?

Shen Yue is an extremely arrogant person.

She would never tolerate her beloved doing such a vicious thing.

"And what happened today, that palace maid was bribed by your mother to lure me into Eunuch Liu's room. This isn't the first time. Your mother and grandmother, in order to protect you, sent me to Eunuch Liu to play with."

"Luckily, Xiaowei was with me, and he saved me several times."

Shen Yue's face instantly turned ashen. "So you're saying Yue'er was knocked unconscious and taken to Eunuch Liu's room by you... How could you be so vicious?"

“I didn’t do that. It was already difficult enough for me to escape; I didn’t have the energy to do that.”

"If Your Excellency insists that it was me, then you must have evidence."

This man, instead of asking what his mother did, turns around and criticizes her; it's utterly shameless.

“Shen Yue, your family has done such a vicious thing to me; it’s utterly depraved.”

Shen Yue couldn't believe that his kind mother, Bao'er, would do such a thing. He stumbled away from Zizhu Garden and ran to question Lin Bao'er and Li Shi.

I never expected that the coachman would be so lucky to survive.

Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, Lin Bao'er had no choice but to tell the whole story: "My lord, I killed that groom to avenge Yue'er. He's the one who harmed Yue'er."

Li said with a sinister look in her eyes, "That's right, the one who actually deserves to die is Yun Xiyue."

Shen Yue's worldview was about to collapse. "So what she said is true, and you gave her to that old eunuch Liu before..."

Madam Li's expression changed slightly, but she did not deny it. "That's right. She's just a merchant's daughter. Marrying you is already a step up for her. She's a barren hen, yet she insists on occupying the position of the Marquis's wife."

"Besides, if we don't do this, you'll be convicted of treason, and our Shen family will be finished. It was she who shamelessly seduced men everywhere, and that's why Eunuch Liu took a liking to her and proposed to take her."

"Yue'er, we're doing this for your own good and for the good of the Marquis's mansion!"
