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

Chapter 106

Since they are not welcome, there is no need to try to win them over.

Madam Wan and Madam Zhou are very close friends; asking her for help is probably asking the wrong person.

Yun Xiyue nodded, "Yes, but it's not appropriate to leave right away. Let's wait a little longer."

Wan Jiaojiao walked over, a hint of guilt in her eyes, "Sister Xiyue, I'm sorry..."

"It's alright. I came to the banquet because I heard that Madam Wan is very skilled at brewing wine, and I also wanted to become friends with you."

“I know you’re having difficulties. Time will tell. Some things are like wine; you have to see and taste them for yourself to truly appreciate their flavor. What others say is just their own perspective.” Yun Xiyue had no reason to be angry.

She is engaged to the eldest son of the Zhou family, and Mrs. Zhou will be her future mother-in-law.

If I offend her, my future days will definitely be difficult. I can't afford to offend my future mother-in-law just because of a friend I just met.

Wan Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, increasingly convinced that Yun Xiyue wasn't as bad as her mother and the others had said. "Thank you, Sister Xiyue. I believe there's definitely nothing wrong with the rouge sold in your shop; it's just that my mother and I can't help you."

"I understand. I will go to the yamen to request a thorough investigation. The innocent will be proven innocent, and I believe Lord Wan will handle this matter impartially," Yun Xiyue said with a smile.

Wan Jiaojiao didn't say anything more. After chatting for a few minutes, she went to play with her girlfriends. Among the group of girls were Zhou Zhilan, Shen Huan, Shen Ling, and others.

A group of people were talking about something, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

After the banquet was nearly over, the mother and daughter made an excuse to leave.

"Hmph, overestimating themselves." Madam Shen Zhou followed and sneered.

"Do you think your little Yun family can bribe Lord Wan? In the capital, powerful families call the shots. The Wan family won't offend our Marquis Anjun's mansion and the Zhou family for your sake."

"Yun Xiyue, you have disfigured my daughter. I will settle this score with you. You'd better come to my door in person and kowtow to apologize to my daughter."

Seeing her arrogant face, Madam Yun was furious. "You want my daughter to kowtow and apologize to your daughter? I think it's more like your whole family should kowtow and apologize to my daughter."

“If you don’t comply, then your Yun family can forget about doing business in the capital.” Madam Shen Zhou was fearless and arrogant, raising her hand to adjust her hair.

They were just waiting for Yun Xiyue to come and beg them.

Madam Yun was furious, her face turning ashen. How dare they bully her daughter like this in front of her? It was clear how much her daughter had suffered in the Shen family over the years.

"Yue'er, let your father handle this matter."

"Mother, I can handle it myself."

Madam Yun said, "But look at Madam Shen Zhou, she is clearly humiliating you. Yue'er, don't worry about the mere Zhou family, your father and I have plenty of ways to make them get out of the capital."

Hearing her mother's tone, Yun Xiyue was both amused and exasperated. "Mother, the Zhou family has the Empress Dowager behind them. Let me handle this matter. I'm fully confident. I'm just waiting for the fish to take the bait. Shen Zhoushi is nothing but a clown."

"The Shen family wanted me to come to them for help, and all they wanted was money, but the Zhou family behind them wanted something else entirely."

Madam Yun was taken aback; she hadn't considered this possibility. "You mean the Zhou family is the one plotting against you?"

"Ah."

I just don't understand why Zhou Zhilan did this. Doesn't she remember offending her or embarrassing her at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?

If she holds a grudge over this matter, then she is narrow-minded. How can such a person become an empress and a model for the world?

Hopefully, Murong Yu isn't blind.
