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

Chapter 104

The shopkeeper just called her Miss Wan. Judging from her generous spending and luxurious attire, she must be very pampered at home. If I'm not mistaken, she must be Madam Wan's daughter, the eldest daughter of the Wan family.

Such a chance encounter is the most natural.

Yun Xiyue suspected that her mother already knew about it and deliberately dragged her out shopping.

"mother."

Madam Yun smiled and said, "I don't have the ability to predict the future; it was purely an accident."

"This lady."

Wan Jiaojiao and her maid chased after them and asked the shopkeeper, only to find out that they were the young lady and madam of the Yun family.

Yun Xiyue has recently become quite famous in the capital.

"Please wait, my name is Wan Jiaojiao."

She stared at her with bright eyes, which Yun Xiyue found strange. "My name is Yun Xiyue."

"As expected of Sister Xiyue, I have long admired your name. Mother said that Sister Xiyue is a heroine among women."

A heroine?

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Does Madam Wan also recognize me?"

"Of course we know each other, but you haven't spoken yet. My mother is hosting a wine tasting banquet in a couple of days, and you absolutely must come. Here's the invitation."

"Your mother and I both love you very much!"

This... is quite unexpected.

Wan Jiaojiao gave her the invitation and then left because she had other things to do.

Having received the invitation, I went to the Wan residence to attend the banquet.

The wine tasting banquet was attended by many people, including wives of powerful figures and ladies from prominent families in Beijing.

Everyone knows that Madam Wan loves winemaking, has a gentle and kind personality, and is well-liked.

"Sister Xiyue." Wan Jiaojiao was overjoyed to hear that she had arrived and came to greet her with her entourage.

"You're finally here! Come on, I'll take you to play in the yard."

Wan Jiaojiao is lively and cheerful, and has become very cute, with a round little face and an adorable dimple when she smiles.

Yun Xiyue had no idea why she liked her, but she followed her to the Wan family's garden.

This mansion is very large, with a large private lawn, where today's wine tasting banquet will be held.

Quite a few people are already talking here.

A wine tasting banquet inevitably involves social interactions, and Madam Yun also took the lead, chatting with these noble ladies from the capital.

"Madam Yun, your daughter is a role model for us women, a heroine among women."

"That's right. We women are vulnerable. Even when we encounter an unfortunate man, few have the courage of Miss Yun. Because of the child, the family reputation, and their own reputation, they dare not make a clean break and dare not easily divorce."

Divorce is not something to be proud of, and many women choose to endure it silently.

For these noble ladies, the idea of ​​men having multiple wives and concubines was something they hated most.

But they had no choice; they dared not divorce, they couldn't bring themselves to do it, so they could only endure it.

But Yun Xiyue is different, so as a woman, I admire her behavior.

Madam Yun said, "It's all a misfortune for our family. If we could, we would also want our daughter to have a carefree life. It's our fault for being incompetent, which has caused our daughter so much suffering."

"Madam Yun, please don't say that. You are now imperial merchants, which is different from ordinary merchants."

"They are the imperial merchants appointed by the Emperor himself, so the Shen family would not dare to underestimate them."

As they were talking, someone reminded them that several ladies from the Shen family had arrived. Everyone understood the implication and didn't bring it up again.

Although I admire Yun Xiyue, I should avoid offending the Marquis of Anjun's family if possible, since the Shen family, the Zhou family, and the Xu family are related by marriage.

The fact that Madam Shen came with the Zhou family shows that they were there to support her.

Madam Wan stepped forward with a smile, "Madam Shen, Madam Zhou."

"Madam Wan, has your taste changed lately?" Madam Zhou asked sarcastically after taking a sip of the wine.

Most importantly, her words carried no hint of sarcasm; she maintained a noble and elegant demeanor, yet made it perfectly clear what she meant.

"In the past, you only invited important people to your wine tasting banquets. Why did you invite just any Tom, Dick, or Harry today?"
