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

Chapter 105

Madam Wan's smile froze slightly as she glanced at the Yun family mother and daughter. "Not long ago, Miss Yun helped Jiaojiao with a favor."

"We are all distinguished guests today, so please don't mind, Madam Zhou."

The hairpin that Madam Zhou wore in her hair was the one Wan Jiaojiao bought at Jin Yu Man Tang that day.

Wan Jiaojiao is engaged to Zhou Da Gongzi and will become the future daughter-in-law of the Zhou family.

Compared to the Zhou family, the Wan family's foundation is still somewhat lacking. Wan Jiaojiao's marriage to the eldest son of the Zhou family is considered a step up.

Yun Xiyue frowned slightly. Seeing that Wan Jiaojiao was a little nervous, she didn't say anything. Since Madam Zhou was intentionally supporting Shen Zhoushi, and she didn't take the initiative to attack, she pretended not to hear it.

Annoyed, but taking it personally is exactly what I want.

Madam Yun maintained her smile, pretending not to see anything, and picked up her wine glass to savor the wine. "Madam Wan's peach blossom wine is truly excellent. It is sweet on the palate and leaves a lingering fragrance. It can be called a rare and fine wine."

"Madam Wan's wine has always been quite good, but Madam Yun's words make it seem like you haven't tasted any good wine before." Madam Zhou came over and sat down opposite her, seemingly to provoke her.

But she was so dignified that no one could find fault with her.

"I only brewed ordinary peach blossom wine. Thank you all for gracing us with your presence and tasting it." Madam Wan hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over. She didn't want to ruin the banquet. Besides, she couldn't afford to offend the Zhou family, and she didn't want to offend the Yun family either.

"Madam Zhou, for my sake, please let us taste the wine first?" Madam Wan walked up to Madam Zhou and said in a low voice.

Madam Zhou scolded, "Look at what you're saying. I'm not here to cause trouble for you. I just want to remind you that the other party's intentions are not pure."

Madam Wan asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"Madam Wan, you don't know yet! Yun Xiyue opened a rouge shop. A few days ago, Zhilan bought a box of rouge and gave it to my Ling'er. After using it, Ling'er's face was all rotten. We reported it to the authorities and the Beauty Hall was shut down."

"That's why she wants to get close to you," said Madam Shen.

"You have no idea, Yun Xiyue is a very scheming woman. My sister-in-law is worried that Miss Wan is too naive and will be taken advantage of without even realizing it."

Madam Zhou's eyes darkened slightly, and she nodded to Madam Wan, "You said Jiao Jiao invited her here. They didn't know each other before, which shows that she went to great lengths to get close to Jiao Jiao in order to attend the Wan family banquet."

Madam Wan's face turned ugly, and she instantly lost all goodwill towards the Yun family's mother. "It's my fault for being careless for a moment."

She thought Yun Xiyue was being bullied by the Shen family and bravely proposed a divorce. This courage was admirable, and she thought Yun Xiyue was a good person.

I never imagined that they would resort to any means to achieve their goals.

Madam Shen Zhou smiled slightly, "Madam Wan, we've known her for five years, and we know her best."

"You know how it is these days, some people will even make the dead seem alive for their own benefit. Don't believe the rumors and gossip outside."

"The wise stop at rumors!"

Madam Zhou nodded in agreement. "You may not trust the Shen family, but you surely trust me, right? We've been friends for many years, and our children are engaged. Jiaojiao will be my daughter-in-law in the future. We can't harm her."

You can disbelieve what Madam Shen says, but Madam Wan has no reason not to believe what Madam Zhou says. "It was my oversight. I will tell Jiao Jiao about her association with the Yun family later."

Several people were whispering amongst themselves.

Before long, Yun Xiyue and her mother were isolated. At first, everyone came to praise them and were very kind.

Now, because of Madam Zhou's words, everyone is deliberately keeping their distance from them, which can be described as extremely snobbish.

Madam Yun frowned slightly, feeling quite uncomfortable. "Yue'er, shall we go back?"
