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

Chapter 78

And that's how the money came about.

But Lin Bao'er looked troubled. "Mother, as you know, I... I followed the Marquis penniless. I have no dowry."

"Impossible, right? You are the princess of Nanqiang, here for a political marriage. How could you not have any dowry?" Yun Xiyue narrowed her eyes, immediately becoming very suspicious.

She is a princess. No matter how angry the Southern Qiang Kingdom is, it is impossible for them to ignore her life or death and not give her any dowry. Wouldn't that make the Great Xia look down on the Southern Qiang?

If she came from an ordinary family, it would be one thing, but she wasn't; she was a princess of noble birth.

It doesn't seem like something the Southern Qiang Kingdom would do.

Lin Bao'er's eyes flickered slightly. "Because of some misunderstandings, I lost my memory and had a child with the Marquis. My father was angry with me, so he has never sent anyone to contact me."

Speaking of this, Shen Yue felt sorry for her. "That's enough. Bao'er has done enough for me. You are my wife too. I don't need you to do anything. I just need you to contribute some money. Is that so difficult?"

She also said she liked him.

Shen Yue doesn't believe it at all now.

Yun Xiyue sneered, "If you feel that the princess has been wronged, you can divorce me and give her the position of the principal wife."

"Sister, don't be angry. I don't feel wronged. I really don't have the money to help Yue'er." Lin Bao'er quickly pulled Shen Yue back from getting angry.

"If you have money, please help Yue'er!"

Yun Xiyue scoffed, "I don't have any money either."

She was determined not to give out the money.

In the end, it was Li who threatened the Dowager Lady, and each of them took out their own dowry to make up 20,000 taels to settle the matter.

"Madam, the eldest young lady has been sent to the estate. She is being told she is ill and will not be returning to the capital."

Yun Xiyue toyed with her teacup, "Have you greeted everyone in the manor?"

Qingmei nodded. "The young lady won't stay quietly in the manor, so she'll send people to keep an eye on her."

Yun Xiyue subconsciously touched her knee; the icy pain was still fresh in her memory, as if it had happened just yesterday.

"If she dares to run, find a secluded place and have someone break her legs."

Qingmei felt a chill run down her spine. This kind of lady was unfamiliar to her, but she thought that if the lady hadn't had the foresight to escape, Shen Yue would have ended up like the lady today.

We really shouldn't have been lenient with her.

When Shen Yue woke up, she cried and made a fuss, insisting on going home. Then, she ran away while the old woman guarding her was being lazy.

He hadn't run far when he tripped and fell, losing consciousness. When he woke up again, both of his good legs were broken.

And the root of his tongue was pulled out.

Upon hearing this, Li rushed to the estate and vented her anger on the old women guarding the place, but she couldn't find the person who had secretly interrupted Shen Yue and pulled out her tongue.

Holding her daughter, she cried her heart out and, despite everyone's objections, insisted on bringing Shen Yue back to the Marquis's residence.

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in relief.

"Has the Shen family offended someone?"

"It's possible, otherwise how could Miss Shen have had her legs broken and her tongue pulled out? This is clearly revenge."

The day after Shen Yue returned.

Yunxi Yue came to visit, "Sister Yue'er, does it hurt?"

Shen Yue lay on the bed, her eyes bloodshot as she glared fiercely at her.

He was making muffled noises, but couldn't utter a single word.

Yun Xiyue leaned close to her ear and laughed, "It's good that it hurts. You'd better behave from now on, or I'll unleash wild dogs on you."

These are the words Shen Yue said to her in her past life, and now she returns them to her verbatim.
