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

Chapter 75

"No, I don't agree!"

Shen Zhou suggested sending Shen Yue to the estate and announcing to the outside world that she was being expelled from the family. Li objected, holding her daughter and not letting anyone touch her.

"Sister-in-law, I understand how you feel, but if we don't do this, it will harm the other younger members of the Marquis's family! We can't let everyone be dragged down because of her!"

“Your eldest son has married and has children, so you don’t have to worry. But my Lang’er isn’t married yet! Because Shen Yue’s engagement was broken off by the Chu family.”

Madam Shen Xu added, "Yes! My Rui'er isn't engaged yet, and what about Ling'er and Huan'er? If you don't think about us, you should at least think about Yi'er and Xuan'er! With an aunt like this, they can't even hold their heads up in public."

The great-grandson was the apple of the old lady's eye. When the great-grandson was mentioned, the old lady sitting in the head seat wavered a little.

Madam Li shook her head and knelt beside the Grand Madam. "Mother, you mustn't! Yue'er was murdered. If we expel her from the family, how will she live in the future?"

The old lady said, "But what she did... has indeed disgraced the family. If she is not expelled from the family, the Marquis's mansion will be implicated by her."

"It's just bad luck that Yue'er was kicked out of the family, but we can send her to the estate to be raised and not let her out."

Madam Li said anxiously, "But didn't we agree before that Yun Xiaohan would marry Yue'er?"

“Yun Xiaohan would never marry her; Yun Xiyue would be the first to object,” said Madam Shen Zhou.

"Was it that bitch Yun Xiyue who gave you this idea?" Madam Li's face instantly turned ferocious. That bitch, she harmed her daughter and even wanted to drive her out of the Marquis's mansion.

Madam Shen Zhou was startled. "Sister-in-law, Xi Yue suggested doing this for the good of the Marquis's mansion..."

“I will not agree. Unless Yun Xiyue gives Yue’er 100,000 taels of silver for protection, I will absolutely not allow you to drive my daughter away.”

As Li was cursing, Yun Xiyue walked in and couldn't help but sneer when she heard her words. "Is Mother trying to force me to my death? You're going to give your daughter 100,000 taels to protect herself, why should I pay for it?"

"How dare you show your face here? It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, Yue'er wouldn't have suffered like this." Li glared at her, as if she were about to rush over and bite her.

People only know what pain is when they experience it themselves!

Yun Xiyue chuckled, "I don't have 100,000 taels. If Mother insists that I harmed Shen Yue, then I can only divorce the Marquis. I will leave the Marquis's mansion. Will Mother be satisfied then?"

Li choked, instantly sobering up from her anger and impulsiveness. "Divorce... what divorce? You and the Marquis are husband and wife, a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness, and Yue'er is also your sister. Can you really bear to watch her sleep on the streets in the future?"

"Weren't you supposed to be sent to the village? How come you're sleeping on the streets?"

Madam Li persisted, "This is no different from sleeping on the streets. Yue'er is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion and has never suffered since she was a child. Sending her to the estate all of a sudden will make it impossible for her to adapt."

Yun Xiyue ignored her and looked at the Grand Madam and the others, "Let's call the Marquis and the others back to discuss and decide on this matter together! The Marquis is the head of the family, and whatever he says goes."

That’s a good suggestion.

Shen Yue was her son, and Li Shi felt that her son would never be so heartless as to send away his own sister.

Shen Yue returned quickly.

They came back with Lin Bao'er, and the two of them took their child to the countryside for horse racing and other activities. They were living a pretty comfortable life.

“Mother, the rumors outside are spreading like wildfire and have already affected the reputation of the Marquis’s mansion. I think Second Aunt’s suggestion is good. Let’s send Yue’er to the estate to be raised first, and then bring her back when things have calmed down.”

I never expected my son to say something like that.

Unable to accept this, Li angrily retorted, "She's your own sister! How could you be so heartless?"
