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

Chapter 773

"But with the Emperor around, you must restrain yourself, learn to hide behind him and let him protect you."

Yun Xiyue blinked, feeling that her mother was teaching her how to win a man's heart. "Mother, you don't need to be so pretentious in front of the Emperor."

"You're such a blockhead."

"The Emperor doesn't like others to be pretentious, but he won't dislike a woman he likes who shows weakness and depends on him."

Madam Yun began by saying it was something that happened to her back then. As the eldest daughter of the family, she had always had a strong personality.

Meeting Yunnan Sheng was truly a match made in heaven.

She is capable of traveling independently across the country and is a true strong woman, a woman who is no less capable than any man.

"Many people say that if I marry your father, I'll soon be divorced because I'm not gentle enough and can't give birth to a son..."

Madam Yun felt a deep regret. "When I was young, I was also competitive and unwilling to admit defeat. It was your father who gradually won me over. When I was strong, he would show weakness."

"But when we're out in public, I know I can't embarrass him."

She gave her a reproachful look, "Don't panic, all men like women who admire, depend on, and trust them. Especially since your man is the emperor!"

Yunxi Yue nodded to indicate that she would remember.

“What do we do now? I can’t get along with the Empress Dowager at all. I used to be able to tolerate her, but now when she gets close to the child, I can’t control my emotions and feel that she is going to harm the child.”

Madam Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry. If she really cares about her grandson, she will compromise. Just don't be stubborn. If she is looking after the child, you should let her take a look at him as well."

Yun Xiyue was unhappy.

However, she did not refute her mother, indicating that she remembered.

They saw the two off.

Murong Yu returned. "Are the babies asleep?"

"Ah."

Yun Xiyue stood up and reached out to hug him.

"What's wrong?" Murong Yu noticed that she was unusually gentle and clingy today, and her expression had become unusually warm. He reached out and touched the top of her head.

"Was it not enough last night?"

Yun Xiyue's cheeks instantly flushed. "How could you do this... I didn't think about that at all. I just feel like I was too impulsive today."

"After all, the Empress Dowager is your mother. If I were the Empress Dowager, I wouldn't want my son to treat me like this in the future."

Murong Yu lowered his head slightly, nuzzled his cheek against her neck, and kissed her soft, white ear. "Then can she hold the baby?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, he did indeed care about the Empress Dowager.

Yun Xiyue instantly realized that she had been too careless. He appeared ruthless and cold, but he wouldn't really hate killing the Empress Dowager.

Resentment only arises when one is angry.

"I have thought about it. There is no way for me and the Empress Dowager to ease our relationship, but she cares about our children, so that can help ease our relationship."

The Empress Dowager was his biological mother.

He had considered trying to mend his relationship with her.

But his actions only resulted in the Empress Dowager repeatedly using him, drugging him, and sending him to other women's beds.

This disappointed him greatly, so he became very indifferent to the Empress Dowager for a time.

That's why the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied.

Yun Xiyue leaned against him as he talked about his past and the Empress Dowager.

"Actually, my relationship with the Empress Dowager wasn't that bad at the beginning."

At most, it's just indifference.
