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

Chapter 86

Qin Mo rubbed his forehead. "That's not what I meant. If Shao Yan likes a woman and you think there's no problem with her, our Qin family won't object."

"only......"

Yunxi Yue was a woman the emperor had taken a liking to.

I can't tell her this directly, or something bad will happen.

"Your Highness, the Shen family has made a move."

Li arrived at the Yun residence.

Still refused entry, he simply knelt at the entrance of the Yun residence.

It attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

"Madam Shen, please go back! Our young lady and Lord Shen's fate has come to an end."

"The Marquis hit our young lady, and the imperial physician can testify to that."

"Someone like the Marquis... our young lady is not worthy of such a position. Please, Madam Shen, spare our young lady." Uncle Qian came out to dismiss them.

Mrs. Li knelt at the front door, weeping, "It's all a misunderstanding! My son was drugged that day; he's not usually like this. It must be a misunderstanding..."

“That night, my son went to Furuilou and had a few drinks. After he came back, he went to Zizhuyuan.”

"Moon! Even if you've been wronged, you should tell us immediately, and we'll stand up for you."

The crowd initially cursed Shen Yue, their voices filled with insults. But now, hearing what Li Shi said, they felt something was amiss. "Could it really be a misunderstanding?"

"Lord Shen is a handsome and talented man, and a major contributor to this victory. He would never do something like hitting a woman!"

"It's also possible that Yun Xiyue did something shameful and got beaten up..."

Seeing that everyone was beginning to defend the Marquis's family, Madam Li's eyes darted away as she continued to cry, "Yue'er! My son truly loves you. He left you on our wedding night to go to the border because he was leading troops into battle, but he absolutely did not leave you on purpose... If you have any resentment because of this, you can talk to your mother, and your mother will definitely stand up for you."

Uncle Qian's face turned ashen. "Madam Shen, please leave immediately. Our young lady is unwell and needs to rest. Anything you wish to discuss, please wait until our master and madam arrive!"

"Alright, then let's talk again when our in-laws arrive in the capital. I will absolutely not let Yue'er suffer the slightest grievance." Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Madam Li quickly left with her people.

This trip quickly changed the political climate in the capital. Initially, it was said that Yun Xiyue had an affair and that Shen Yue found out, which is why she was beaten.

Some say it's because the Yun family became imperial merchants that they started to get arrogant; there are all sorts of theories.

Yun Xiaohan sent people to suppress a lot of news. The Yun family became imperial merchants, and many merchants gave the Yun family some face.

Qingmei and Granny Cao also kept it a secret from Yunxiyue.

"Granny, you don't need to worry. No matter what they say outside, I'm mentally prepared." Yun Xiyue seemed to have known all along. "The Shen family won't let me leave just like that. Especially since the Yun family has become imperial merchants."

“My parents only have one daughter. They are convinced that as long as I am still the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, everything in the Yun family will belong to the Shen family. So they will do everything they can to make us back down and force me to go back.”

"It won't be easy to get rid of them completely, I've known that for a long time."

Granny Cao looked at her with pity, "Miss, Master and Madam are almost in the capital. Then we won't have to be afraid of them."

"The Yun family becoming imperial merchants is beneficial to us. You can focus on recovering. We and the eldest young master will take care of everything! Even if it costs this old servant my life, I will never let you return to a den of wolves like the Shen family."

Qingmei said, "I will too, Miss. I will protect you well..."

Yun Xiyue grasped their hands. "I know, so I'm not worried. Tell me about the situation outside."

The two women looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the eldest young master who forbade them from telling her!
