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

Chapter 995

However, she felt that being banished to the cold palace was already a punishment, and to plead for leniency would be going too far.

Regardless of the circumstances, both Qi Yumin and Shen Yue committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Murong Yu is the emperor; how could he allow someone to humiliate him?

Madam Yun asked, "Could you make an exception and allow the mother and daughter to meet?"

"Hmm, we'll see after the Lantern Festival."

"There is no indication that he will be executed."

Madam Yun nodded and then relayed the message to the Xiao family upon returning home.

Xiao Lian'er is still at the Xiao residence.

“Since the Emperor hasn’t ordered your execution, let’s not act rashly. We’ve done what we could to help.” Madam Xiao held her daughter’s hand. “Lian’er, you’ve done your best. And you’ve been with Qi Yuyan for almost two years now, why haven’t you gotten pregnant yet? Is it because he doesn’t want you, or because you don’t?”

They did not consummate their marriage.

Xiao Lian'er didn't want to talk about it.

But Madam Xiao felt that her daughter had something on her mind, so she kept pressing her for answers.

"Mother, please don't ask!"

......

"Your Highness, it seems that Young Master Qi and Miss Xiao are getting a divorce."

Yun Xiyue asked in surprise, "Why so suddenly? Does the Emperor intend to take action against the Qi family?"

"No."

Granny Chen shook her head. She was on Yun Xiyue's behalf visiting General Xiao at the Xiao family. She encountered Xiao Lian'er on her way out.

Then I heard what the servants of the Xiao family said.

Xiao Lian'er and Qi Yuyan did not consummate their marriage.

"And they also say that Young Master Qi... is deeply in love with the Empress, which is why they haven't consummated their marriage."

Yun Xiyue was stunned; she wasn't going to take the blame for this huge mistake.

"Then go and find out what the reason is."

Granny Chen said, "This old servant has already sent someone to investigate."

Murong Yu knew Qi Yuyan's thoughts. But now that he's married Xiao Lian'er, surely he wouldn't still be hung up on the past?

At this critical juncture, the Qi family needs the Xiao family's help, so how could they let Xiao Lian'er suffer? Besides, if Xiao Lian'er were truly wronged, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to help him.

Starting today, Murong Yu will be attending court.

There was also movement at the border.

He got busy, and since Yun Xiyue didn't need to oversee the country, she prepared to study the seeds.

With the help of the "ghost hand," who also plays with the children, a lot of trouble was saved.

Yunxi Yue had a ski suit made for each of them.

The cloak containing the Ghost Hand was actually made by Yun Xiyue herself.

"Ah Yue, don't overwork yourself." Ghost Hand scolded her, but he was very happy inside, and the corners of his mouth were turned up wide.

Murong Yu was furious when he saw it. "Then don't wear it. Give it to me."

"Your Majesty has so many cloaks, one more won't hurt!" Ghost Hand wouldn't give it to him, and he knew that Murong Yu was unhappy because he hadn't received a gift made by A Yue.

Haha!

It's hilarious that someone so old is still jealous.

However, Ghost Hand was secretly pleased.

“I am A-Yue’s master. She said that she and the three little ones will take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die.”

Murong Yu was puzzled, "If you like children, why can't you have them yourself?"

"I won't have any more. Three little ones are enough." Ghost Hand patted the heads of the three little ones. They were wearing cloaks from the same series as him, so they looked like a family.

I haven't felt this way in ages!

“I will treat the child as my own, Your Majesty need not worry. I am just A-Yue’s teacher.”

Murong Yu understood that the reason he was unwilling to marry and have children was because he couldn't let go of A Yue.

Few men can do what he did.

It's about letting go, not possessing.

He belongs to the latter category; if he likes something, he wants to possess it absolutely.

Ghost Hand put on his cloak and left with the child.

Yunxiyue was fiddling with some seeds in the greenhouse.

I plan to grow it myself first.

"Ah Yue, don't be so busy right now, making cloaks and farming." Murong Yu came over, picked her up, and took her directly back to the palace.
