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

Chapter 96

The eldest princess whispered to Xiao Rongrong, "This Miss Yun is quite sensible and clever."

Shen Yue didn't even know about the treasure; he's truly blind.

Xiao Rongrong said, "That's right, Princess, please don't bully her."

"Look at what you're saying," the princess said with a reproachful look.

Before long, Madam Pei came to greet them.

One after another, other ladies of high society arrived with their daughters and sons. It was called a flower appreciation banquet, but it was actually a matchmaking event.

Seeing that Yun Xiyue and the Princess had both established a relationship.

The women in the Shen family were extremely jealous.

Li stayed home to take care of her daughter, while the Dowager Lady was too old to move around much.

The task of socializing and entertaining fell to Zhou, Xu, and Lin Bao'er.

Lin Bao'er suddenly stared at Yun Xiyue, her eyes dark and gloomy. As the princess of Nanqiang, no one paid her any attention. The eldest princess and the princess consort of Qin didn't even glance at her.

Yun Xiyue, an abandoned and divorced woman, was able to navigate social situations with ease, be poised and graceful at banquets, and use her connections with the Princess Consort of Qin and the Eldest Princess to network with many other ladies.

Damn it!

"Yun Xiyue seems to have become even more beautiful after leaving the Shen family," Zhou muttered.

Lin Bao'er frowned slightly upon hearing this, staring at Yun Xiyue's smiling face, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

......

After the banquet.

Yunxi Yue returned to her residence by carriage.

But when they reached the alley, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Xiaowei... what's wrong?"

"Miss, there's an assassin," Xiao Wei said.

Soon, the sounds of fighting came from outside.

Qingmei turned pale with fright. "Miss, what... what should we do? It's broad daylight. How could there be an assassin?"

Surely it wouldn't be to murder someone for money?

Yun Xiyue was also a little nervous. She thought it was the Shen family, but she also felt it was unlikely. She and Shen Yue had parted amicably.

They dared to kill her in the capital; did they really think the Yun family wouldn't be able to find out?

"Madam, run!" Xiao Wei alone can't defeat three or four well-trained assassins.

If this continues, they will all be killed.

Yun Xiyue understood what he meant. She quickly pulled Qingmei off the carriage and then fled along the road.

"Miss, someone is catching up with us. Xiao Wei seems to be injured."

Yun Xiyue looked back and saw the assassin approaching. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. The two of them ran for a while before they were panting.

"Help! Help..."

Run quickly towards a crowded area and shout for help.

Once they were back out of the alley, the assassin didn't dare to pursue them.

But he had a hidden weapon.

"Watch out!" Just then, someone passed by and quickly blocked the hidden weapon. Seeing this, the assassin ran away.

Yunxi Yue was still in shock.

Looking up, she saw a young man in fine clothes, holding a sword, appear. "Are you alright, young lady? Who is that? Why did he try to kill you?"

"Thank you for saving my life, young master."

"I don't know who the other person is. I met them on my way home. They were in the box in front of me."

The streets were a bit congested at that time, so they took a detour. No one expected to encounter an assassin.

"Miss." Xiao Wei drove the carriage over.

Upon seeing the markings on the carriage, the young master couldn't help but scrutinize Yun Xiyue again. "Are you the eldest daughter of the Yun family?"
