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

Chapter 772

"..." The Empress Dowager stared blankly, unable to refute.

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

The Empress Dowager felt wronged!

But there was nothing she could do; the child wasn't hers, and she could only watch helplessly as the Yun couple took the child away.

She didn't even hug me, nor did she give me a chance to look at her.

"Empress Dowager... let's go!" Granny Su felt helpless, not knowing how to persuade her.

The Emperor left with the Empress; he had been on the Empress's side from the very beginning.

The Empress Dowager was heartbroken. "A son is no longer under his mother's control when he grows up. That's truly a wise saying! What use is a son like this!"

"It would have been better not to have children at all."

Murong Yu hadn't gone far. He was a martial artist with sharp hearing and eyesight, and the Empress Dowager's last words were filled with a heavy sense of hostility and hatred.

It made him pause.

Yun Xiyue instinctively tightened her grip on his arm, "Your Majesty..."

She wanted to persuade him to send the Empress Dowager back.

Regardless of her relationship with the Empress Dowager, they were still mother and daughter, and should not be treated like enemies.

Murong Yu laughed and said, "It's alright, let's go back!"

Upon returning to Jiaofang Palace, Yunnan Sheng and his wife stayed for a meal before heading back, leaving behind many gifts for their three children.

Before leaving, Yunnan Sheng was a little worried and pulled Murong Yu aside to talk, "Will your mother harm A-Yue?"

"I will protect A-Yue," Murong Yu said.

Protect my ass.

Yunnan Sheng wanted to speak, but thinking that he had returned in time on the day of the delivery to prevent a major mistake, he didn't hold it against him. "I know the Emperor is in a difficult position, caught in the middle, like being roasted in a fire."

“I’ve been through the same thing as you in the past. The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is innate. The woman the mother-in-law doesn’t like is the daughter-in-law, but the one she likes is the one you don’t like.”

"So there's no other way but to try to find a balance. Is the Empress Dowager so crazy because you haven't been caring about her?"

Murong Yu's expression changed slightly, feeling awkward. He never expected to be lectured by his father-in-law.

"I will try to persuade them."

Yunnan Sheng paused for a moment, then said no more. "Alright, then we'll go back. The children will stay in the palace for now, and we'll let them come to Yunlai to visit more often when they have time."

"I think Xiao Bao is a good fit for our Yun family. Let's find an opportunity to adopt him first."

"It doesn't have to be made public. These are the names I've chosen for my children. You can choose the names for the eldest and second child yourselves, but I'll choose the names for the Yun family."

Murong Yu took the note and glanced at it. "Hmm, I'll have someone else do another reading."

"What's the big deal? I've had these names analyzed; there won't be any problems. They're all perfect names," Yunnan Sheng immediately said.

This father-in-law is truly domineering.

He was the emperor, yet the emperor showed him absolutely no respect.

"We still need to discuss it with A-Yue."

Upon hearing this, Yunnan Sheng immediately became obedient.

It's clear that even the most domineering person is helpless if they're a doting father.

Madam Yun was also instructing her daughter, "A-Yue, you were a bit too harsh in your words to the Empress Dowager today."

"Mother, don't you know she wants to harm me? How can I tolerate this?"

Madam Yun held her hand, "But you have to consider the Emperor's feelings! After all, she is his biological mother, and it's very difficult for him to be caught in the middle. For your sake, the Emperor stopped favoring the concubines in the harem and broke with the Empress Dowager. He even personally deposed his own uncle... I am moved by all of these things."

"In all my life, I've only ever seen your father with this kind of manly spirit. I never thought you'd meet someone like him."

"So you have to cherish it. You can't let the Emperor be heartbroken. If you can't tolerate the Empress Dowager, then when the Emperor is not around, it won't matter if you talk back to the Empress Dowager."
