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

Chapter 83

"Why did you only ask for rewards for your Yun family just now?"

As soon as Yun Xiyue entered the room, she was questioned by a group of people.

"The donation was paid by our Yun family. Why can't we only ask for rewards from the Yun family? Should we ask for rewards from the Shen family instead?"

Every time I see this family's shamelessness, my understanding of what shamelessness truly means is refreshed.

"You're the Shen family's daughter-in-law. Besides, what's wrong with you casually mentioning asking the Shen family for some rewards?"

“That’s right… Sister-in-law, for example, you should ask for a marriage for Second Brother. Recently, because of the First Wife’s situation, Second Brother’s marriages have all fallen through, right? You should try to find a way to salvage the situation.”

Yun Xiyue's face was extremely ugly, and she was about to explode. Shen Yue stood up and said, "Alright, it's a good thing that the Yun family has become a royal merchant. Tomorrow I will send someone to pick up my father-in-law and mother-in-law to come to the capital. It's getting late. Grandmother, you should go back and rest first."

I was originally going to ask why Yun Xiyue didn't tell them about such an important matter, so that they could also donate and gain merit.

But Shen Yue suddenly interrupted, and the others stopped talking.

Yun Xiyue glanced at the man indifferently, "There's no need to trouble you, Marquis. Prince Qin will send someone to fetch my parents to the capital."

"Are you still blaming me?" Shen Yue's expression was somewhat unnatural. This was the first time in his life that he had ever been violent towards a woman.

"I was drunk, it wasn't intentional."

Yun Xiyue felt annoyed just looking at him, so she turned away and ignored him.

"Yue'er..."

Shen Yue caught up, but Lin Bao'er stopped him. "My lord, my sister is in a bad mood. Why don't you go see her tomorrow?"

The next day, Yun Xiyue left the Marquis's residence under the pretext of going to the palace to express her gratitude.

He fell ill upon returning to the Yun family home.

Granny Cao and Qingmei tearfully told Yun Xiaohan what had happened.

"I'm going to find him." Yun Xiaohan stormed off to the Marquis's residence.

Yun Xiyue woke up, "Big brother..."

"Moon, are you going to stop me? A man like Shen Yue who lays a hand on you is better off without!" Yun Xiaohan's eyes were dark and full of anger.

"I've wanted a divorce for a long time," Yun Xiyue said in a hoarse voice.

Yun Xiaohan was stunned. "Then..."

“This time I’m back, I won’t go back. I’ll go to the capital to get my dowry back.”

She knew she should discuss such a big decision with her parents, and she was confident they would support her.

Yun Xiaohan's expression softened, but he was still very angry. "We need to preserve some evidence. We'll invite Princess Qin to visit you now, and the imperial physician will examine your injuries. That way, we'll have people to act as evidence."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Big brother is so thoughtful."

"Young master, the young master is outside requesting an audience, saying he's here to pick up the young lady."

Yun Xiaohan reassured her not to worry, "I'm going to see him. Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he wouldn't be able to take you away."

After returning from court, Shen Yue went to Zizhu Garden, only to find it deserted. Yun Xiyue had left him only a letter of divorce.

The man was so anxious that he went straight to the Yun residence, but he did not see Yun Xiyue.

"Shen Yue, how dare you show your face here?" Yun Xiaohan walked out from the inner hall and punched him without saying a word.

Shen Yue naturally knew why, and apologized as he had done before, "Big brother, it was my fault. I apologize to Yue'er, and this will never happen again."

"Can you let me see Yue'er first?"

Yun Xiaohan was so angry that he punched him again. "Get out! Yue'er will never see you again. From now on, she is no longer your wife, Shen Yue. Our Yun family has no shameless son-in-law like you."

"Someone, immediately pass on the order: the young lady has divorced Marquis An!"

Shen Yue's pupils constricted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "This is a matter between Yue'er and me. Whether it's a letter of divorce or a formal separation, I will not agree to it."

"Lord An, you should have some self-awareness. Don't you know how you've treated Yue'er these past few years? Your noble family, after getting married, is now relying on Yue'er's dowry to make a living. Aren't you afraid of losing face if this gets out?" Yun Xiaohan said with a mocking look in his eyes.

"You'd better agree to this divorce, otherwise tomorrow the whole capital will know that your Shen family is living off women's dowries!"
