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

Chapter 781

Just because she can't have children doesn't mean the Yun family can't have children. She's not that kind of person.

But Yunnan Sheng refused and sent all those women away.

He even had a big argument with Old Madam Yun over this, and took her away from the Yun family to start their own household.

"Father is really tough." Yun Xiyue's eyes were full of admiration. There was probably no man like her father in this world.

Madam Yun said with a headache, "Your father is just too willful. Actually, it would have been better if he had found a woman to have a son. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"I can understand the Empress Dowager..."

But there's no way around it, she can't have children anymore, and Yunnan Sheng is already quite old, how can he go and harm young girls again?

"What I want is very simple: I want a child who belongs to the Yun family and has the blood of me and your father to inherit the Yun family."

"Mother, don't blame yourself."

Yun Xiyue held her hand. "We agreed on this beforehand, so it's not your fault."

I heard that Yunnan Sheng has returned from Funing Palace.

Madam Yun then went back first.

"How was it?" Yun Xiyue couldn't help but ask the man who walked in.

Murong Yu said, "The talks have broken down."

There was no way to change the Empress Dowager.

He's given up, so be it!

"Never mind the Empress Dowager. If she wants to see the child, take him to Funing Palace to let her see him."

"My father-in-law has already included the child's name in the Yun family genealogy. When the time is right, he will announce it."

Yun Xiyue nodded. "Mm."

"I heard the Empress Dowager left the palace and went to the Pei family. Is it because the old lady's health has changed?"

Murong Yu did not hear about Madam Pei's unwell condition. "Let her be!"

He clearly didn't want to mention the Empress Dowager or the Pei family at all.

But he was also preoccupied with worries.

Yun Xiyue knew he had something on his mind.

Since he wouldn't tell, I had no choice but to go and ask Grandpa Fu for details.

Soon, Granny Chen returned.

He recounted everything that Murong Yu had said to the Empress Dowager at Funing Palace.

Yun Xiyue then realized that Murong Yu was carrying so much burden.

The Pei family had been kind to him.

The Empress Dowager also did some things to help him ascend the throne.

If they are slightly dissatisfied or their needs are not met, they will bring up these issues to threaten the emperor.

“This old servant remembers that when the Emperor did not agree to Consort Pei entering the palace, the Empress Dowager mentioned this matter, and then the Emperor agreed.”

Once you compromise, you'll compromise countless times afterward.

Just like the Zeng family, the Zeng family was fortunate enough to only want military power, and there were actually people from the Zeng family who went to the battlefield to protect their home and country.

In the Northwest, someone is needed to guard it.

Since the Zeng family was willing to guard the Northwest, Murong Yu was happy to grant them military power.

Prime Minister Pei wanted power in the court.

Murong Yu actually did give it, as the situation in the court required it.

The reason he decided to punish Prime Minister Pei was because he had harmed Pei's wife and children.

He also colluded with the King of Liang.

This is something he cannot tolerate.

The fact that he wasn't executed was already out of consideration for their blood ties as uncles.

The Empress Dowager knew all about what Prime Minister Pei had done, yet she still demanded his release.

No wonder Murong Yu didn't want to mention the Empress Dowager.

"Then why did the Empress Dowager go to the Prime Minister's residence to find Pei Zhili?" Yun Xiyue asked.

Granny Chen shook her head. "This... this old servant doesn't know either. Eunuch Fu said he would ask Granny Su."
