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

Chapter 71

The King of Qin had no idea; he was just bluffing them.

Shen Yue preferred to believe it was true and persuaded Lin Bao'er to kill several of the guards. After drinking a cup of poisoned wine, the guards vomited blood and died.

Lin Bao'er felt her heart bleed and glared fiercely at Yun Xiyue, "Sister, are you satisfied now?"

These guards were her trusted confidants; now that they've been eliminated, it will be very difficult for her to do anything she wants in the future.

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "We did all this to protect the Marquis's mansion. If you are unhappy, you can tell the Marquis. But the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept our condolences!"

Lin Bao'er was so angry that she felt like she had swallowed a fly.

"Madam, the eldest young lady has woken up. She says she doesn't want to live anymore and wants to hang herself."

Madam Li hurriedly grasped Yun Xiyue's hand, "In order to save Yue'er, we told her that Young Master Yun was willing to marry her."

Yun Xiyue immediately became angry, "No, my older brother is already engaged, he can't possibly marry Shen Yue."

Li cried and said, "I know, but there's nothing I can do! I have to make your elder brother break off the engagement. He's your sworn brother and always listens to you. Only if he marries Yue'er will Yue'er not do anything foolish."

"Speaking of which, the fact that Yue'er suffered like this is also related to you. If you hadn't run away, Eunuch Liu wouldn't have captured Yue'er to vent his anger. You have to take responsibility."

Yun Xiyue laughed angrily, her face turning ashen. "Impossible. If you want Shen Yue to marry, you can choose a servant to marry her."

"That won't do. Yue'er is the eldest daughter of our Marquis's mansion."

Yun Xiyue laughed, "But she has already lost her virginity to Eunuch Liu, and everyone in the capital knows that. You want my elder brother to marry her, are you trying to make him a laughingstock?"

"Also, they say she took the blame for me? Then this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Tomorrow I will go to the yamen to beat the drum and file a complaint to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Li was immediately enraged, her eyes darkening. "This was never a glorious thing to begin with, and you're going to sue the government? Do you think things aren't serious enough? Are you trying to kill my daughter?"

"If anyone dares to mess with my older brother and try to force him to be a sucker, then I'm not afraid to make a big fuss about it."

Enraged, Li couldn't hold back and slapped her across the face. "You bitch! If it weren't for you, Yue'er, you wouldn't have suffered like this!"

"Madam!" Qingmei anxiously supported her.

Yun Xiyue rubbed her cheek, then slapped him back, sneering, "So you're admitting that you sent me to that old eunuch to play with in order to please Eunuch Liu and for Shen Yue's future?"

"what!"

"How dare you hit me! You bitch, I'll kill you!" Li suddenly went berserk and tried to tear her apart.

Shen Yue's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly stopped Li Shi, "Enough! Mother, let's go see how Yue'er is first! We can discuss other matters later!"

As he spoke, he dragged Li away.

"lady......"

Qingmei was almost in tears. She brought the medicine box and applied it to her wound, saying, "The Shen family is going too far..."

They did such a despicable thing, but they stubbornly refused to admit it.

I thought Shen Yue didn't know, but now it's clear he does, yet he supports what Li and the others are doing.

Yun Xiyue applied ice to her face, saying, "The whole family is shameless. Even if we tear off the mask, they can still argue without batting an eye."

Eunuch Liu and the palace maid are dead, so there's no way to verify their identities now.

The only option is to target those close to Madam Li and the Dowager.

“Madam, the Marquis says you have been disrespectful to the Old Madam and has punished you by making you copy the family rules fifty times.”

Yun Xiyue sneered, "I don't want a shameless, cowardly, and incompetent man like him. This is a letter of divorce."

She simply sent him a letter of divorce.

When Shen Yue received the letter of divorce, his face turned ashen. He tore it to shreds, shouting, "How dare she!"

“Go tell her that if anyone is to be divorced, it will be me who divorces her.”

"Send someone to keep a close eye on her and don't allow her to leave the Marquis's residence."

After sending her a letter of divorce, Shen Yue dared not mention punishing her again.

They also dared not come to Zizhuyuan.

When Shen Yue woke up, she made a huge fuss, screaming in terror.

"Ah...no, don't touch me...Mom...it hurts so much..."

Holding her daughter, Li was heartbroken and tears streamed down her face.

"It's my fault, I failed to protect you."
