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

Chapter 73

He's probably gone mad!

Yun Xiaohan said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Shen, but I have other matters to attend to and will take my leave now."

"Young Master Yun..." Shen Yue rushed into his arms.

Yun Xiyue immediately grabbed her hair, "Big brother, run! Quickly escort big brother away, hold her down!"

That crazy woman, she actually tried to force herself on me.

It's just a madman.

Yun Xiaohan was terrified by Shen Yue's erratic behavior. "Yue'er..."

"Brother, you should leave quickly."

If this woman succeeds in her scheme, the Shen family will definitely force the eldest brother to marry Shen Yue.

"Let me go... I am the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the most noble legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion. It is your honor to have taken a liking to a merchant's adopted son like you."

"Stop! Don't move!" Shen Yue struggled frantically.

Yun Xiyue and the maid could barely hold her down.

"Stop..." Shen Yue broke free and ran towards Yun Xiaohan, wanting to hug him.

Yun Xiaohan quickly used his light-footed skill to leap onto the high wall.

The woman pounced on empty air.

"Moon, I'm leaving now. Send someone to find me if you need anything." Yun Xiaohan was quite frightened.

Li and the others rushed over, ready to shout that Yun Xiaohan had molested Shen Yue.

Upon arriving at the Purple Bamboo Garden, Yun Xiaohan was nowhere to be seen.

"Yue'er."

Shen Yue fell to the ground, sprawled out on her back.

"Mother, that man ran away! He doesn't like me at all," Shen Yue cried.

Li comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, there's plenty of time. Young Master Yun likes you; he's just too shy."

"Go back first, and tomorrow your mother will have him come to marry you."

Yun Xiyue's face turned ashen.

Li said to her, "You've seen it too, Yue'er has gone mad. She wants to marry your eldest brother, so we lied to her and said that your eldest brother likes her. That's why she stopped crying and rekindled her hope of living."

"I only have one daughter, I beg you, please save Yue'er!"

Li knelt before Yun Xiyue.

Yun Xiyue remained unmoved, only feeling disgusted. She angrily kicked the person out, but after thinking it over, she realized this wasn't a solution, so she had someone spread a rumor.

For the sake of their daughter, the Shen family forced Yun Xiaohan to marry Shen Yue.

Li also wanted to spread rumors that Yun Xiaohan liked Shen Yue and would not marry anyone else.

But unexpectedly, Yun Xiyue's news was released first.

Many people began to criticize the Shen family for being shameless.

"Shen Yue is a used woman, how dare the Shen family let Yun Xiaohan marry her daughter?"

"Exactly! She's shameless. Let alone Young Master Yun, even a beggar in the capital wouldn't want to marry such a slut."

"Have you heard? I heard that the Shen family was accused of treason and colluding with the enemy. In order to protect Marquis An and clear their names, the Shen family sent Madam Shen to the palace to curry favor with Eunuch Liu... Fortunately, Madam Shen had someone protecting her and thus escaped a disaster."

"No way! If it's true, then the Shen family is truly shameless."

The news spread like wildfire throughout the capital, sparking much discussion.

The servants found out the news and returned to report.

Both Madam Li and the Dowager Lady panicked. "That vile woman Yun Xiyue actually dared to spread rumors and slander our Marquis's Mansion."

"Go and bring her here, then punish her according to family rules!"

Upon hearing the news, Shen Yue rushed back to stop her, saying, "Grandmother, you mustn't."

"The news is spreading like wildfire, and even the Emperor is inquiring about it."
