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

Chapter 103

Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly, quite surprised. Just now, when she mentioned reporting to the authorities, Zhou Zhilan and Shen Zhoushi were clearly wary.

Was it to lull her into a false sense of security, or was he deliberately feigning guilt?

"Go and find out who's behind this."

Xiao Wei said, "Miss, I have inquired and found out that it was a servant from the Zhou family who went to the yamen. The eldest son of the Zhou family is the Vice Magistrate of the Jingzhao Prefecture."

The Vice Prefect of the Capital Prefecture and the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review are equivalent official positions.

They sought help from the Jingzhao Prefecture in this matter. The Zhou family sent someone to make a statement, and it was easy to seal up Yunxiyue's shop.

They did this to force Yun Xiyue to bow down and beg them.

Yun Xiyue sneered, "Who is the Prefect of the Capital?"

"It's Lord Wan. Madam Wan is usually very low-key, but she likes to brew wine." Xiao Wei has been with her for so many years and knows her personality well, so there's no need for special instructions. He has already taken care of some things.

"I heard that she plans to host a wine tasting event in a few days."

Yun Xiyue said, "Send someone to find out where Madam Wan usually goes. We can't wait any longer."

Trying to build connections at a banquet would be too deliberate.

It might backfire.

"Yue'er."

"mother."

Madam Yun said, "I heard that your newly opened shop was shut down. How is it now? Do you need our help? We've already taken care of some powerful people in the capital."

“Mother, it’s a promise. I’ll open my own shop and rely on myself. You don’t need to help me. If I ask you and Father for help when I encounter problems, then I won’t have the opportunity to gain experience.”

Madam Yun patted the back of her hand and smiled, "The capital is different from Yunzhou. We're worried you won't be able to handle it."

“I’ve been in the capital for five years, Mother. Don’t worry, I can handle this.” Yun Xiyue didn’t think it was anything difficult.

Seeing that her daughter was confident, Madam Yun said no more. "Well then, shall we go to the capital for a stroll?"

The closure of one shop is nothing to the Yun family.

Yun Xiyue also wanted to spend more time with her mother, "Okay."

The mother and daughter went out shopping.

After looking around at other cosmetic shops, I wondered, "Who owns this cosmetic shop?"

"Business seems to be going well."

Yun Xiyue didn't know, "After my rouge shop opened, his business declined. Now that Meirentang has been shut down, his business has picked up again. I think the quality of his rouge is not as good as mine."

The two bought several boxes of rouge to take home and compare them.

I'm planning to go to the Jin Yu Man Tang across the street to look at jewelry.

I selected a hairpin, which was quite expensive because it was a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.

Seeing that Madam Yun liked it, Yun Xiyue had it wrapped up.

"Shopkeeper, I'll take this hairpin."

The shopkeeper was immediately in a dilemma, "Miss Wan, this young lady has already wanted this hairpin."

"I'll pay double the price."

The maid immediately took out a silver note and placed it on the table, determined to get the hairpin.

Yun Xiyue glanced at the girl, her eyes narrowing slightly. "If this young lady likes it, then give it to her!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Jiaojiao was surprised and looked up at Yun Xiyue. Both of them were wearing veils, but judging from their elegant attire, they were either rich or noble.

"Thank you, sister. I didn't mean to steal the hairpin. It's just that this hairpin is really important to me."

"How about this? You choose another one as my apology."

Seeing that she didn't intend to take it from her, Wan Jiaojiao's attitude softened considerably.

"We haven't paid for the hairpin yet. Since it's important to you, we'll give it to you first. There's no need for apologies."

Yun Xiyue took Madam Yun's arm and said, "Mother, let's go! We'll come back another day to see if there are any other new products."

It was just a hairpin; they didn't even care about it.

"She is Lord Wan's daughter," Madam Yun said in a low voice.

"Ah."
