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

Chapter 771

"We were just taking a walk in the Imperial Garden, and the babies fell asleep quickly. We were planning to come back when the Empress Dowager rushed out and accused us of stealing the children." Madam Yun was also furious.

“They’re our own grandson, why would we need to steal from them?”

The Empress Dowager felt an inexplicable jealousy when she saw them holding children, but she would never admit it.

“You are stealing children. I heard you say that you would take the child back to your Yun family to raise.”

"The Yun family has no sons, which means it will be extinct. So you covet my grandsons. Let me tell you, don't even think about it."

"Quickly hand the child over to me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she ordered her men to snatch it.

Murong Yu said, "Step back!"

The guards dared not approach.

The Empress Dowager was furious. "Emperor, didn't you see they were eyeing the child?"

"I promised my father-in-law and mother-in-law that I would adopt a prince for the Yun family."

This will be known sooner or later.

Murong Yu didn't plan to announce it so early, but since it's already known, he has no choice but to say it.

"What did you say?" The Empress Dowager's mind went blank for a moment. "You...you...are you confused?!"

She trembled all over, pointing her trembling finger at Yun Xiyue, "Was this your idea! On what grounds? The child is of the Murong family bloodline."

"I don't agree."

Yunnan Sheng said, "You have no choice but to agree, because the Emperor promised it back then, which is why I agreed to let Yue'er marry him."

"Otherwise, do you think your son can marry my precious daughter?"

The Empress Dowager was furious; she had never seen such an arrogant man.

He was nothing more than a lowly merchant.

Yunnan Sheng understood her thoughts. "Hmph, if you look down on us merchants, will you treat my grandson with sincerity?"

"Now my grandson also has the blood of the Yun family."

“Then why can’t I take him back to the Yun family to raise? Anyway, the Empress Dowager looks down on the bloodline of our Yun family.”

The Empress Dowager's lips trembled slightly. "That's different. No matter what, the child is of Murong Lai's blood."

"You won't get it."

Madam Yun sneered, "Empress Dowager, if you truly loved your child, you wouldn't have conspired with outsiders to harm Yue'er."

"You think it's right to leave the mother and keep the child, that you only want the child and not the mother, but have you ever thought that if the Emperor hadn't returned that day, A-Yue and the child would have died?"

"Your brother tricked Ghost Hand, causing him to be poisoned with that kind of Gu poison that takes effect upon contact with blood. If the Emperor hadn't returned in time, have you considered the consequences? Would you still be able to see three chubby little princes?"

Before Madam Yun could utter a single word, the Empress Dowager's face turned deathly pale.

"I......"

Murong Yu said, "Send the Empress Dowager back first."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were slightly red. She looked up at her son and knew in her heart that he was also disappointed in her and even hated her.

"Your Majesty, I will not agree to the child being adopted by the Yun family."

"How can the descendants of the Murong family be raised by others?"

Murong Yu didn't want to say too much to him, "You should go back first."

The Empress Dowager looked at the child sadly. "The child is out of confinement. I want to take the child back to Funing Palace. You can come and pick him up in a little while."

“No way.” Yun Xiyue immediately refused.

Going to Funing Palace is too dangerous.

That woman, Pei Fang, almost killed her son.

If she takes me to the Funing Palace, that would be terrible.

"They are my own grandsons, I will not harm them."

Yun Xiyue said coldly, "Then what happened on the day I gave birth? The Empress Dowager wasn't involved? Didn't you consider leaving the child behind?"

The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly. "This is only your side of the story..."

“You’re not denying it, you’re just making excuses, which proves that you want to leave the child behind.”

“During the Emperor’s absence from the capital, Prime Minister Pei frequently visited the palace.”

"Even if you don't admit it, you know perfectly well what's going on."

Yun Xiyue gestured for her parents to take the child away first, then looked at the Empress Dowager's angry face and said with a faint smile, "Since you can't accept me and want to kill me, why do you think that knowing your thoughts will make my son accept a grandmother like you?"
