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

Chapter 107

The Shen family waited and waited, but Yun Xiyue never came to their door to beg them.

Madam Shen Zhou was getting restless. "Several days have passed, and Yun Xiyue still hasn't come to beg us. What should we do?"

"Ling'er's facial injuries are almost healed."

Shen Ling was only allergic to peanuts. The rouge powder contained a little peanut powder, and after using the medicine, she would feel better in seven or eight days.

Even if the face heals, it will be difficult to handle without evidence.

"It's not appropriate to report this to the authorities."

"How about we send Madam Zhou to the palace to see the Empress Dowager?" Lin Bao'er suggested.

Shen Zhou slapped her thigh, thinking it was a great idea, and immediately went back to her parents' home.

"Miss, someone from the palace has arrived. They say the Empress Dowager summons you to the palace."

Madam Yun was worried and wanted to go with her, but Yun Xiyue refused, saying, "Mother, I can manage on my own, don't worry! It's the Zhou and Shen families who couldn't wait any longer, so they went to the Empress Dowager. I'm just waiting for them to go to the Empress Dowager!"

If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

Let's see who can keep their composure. In the end, Shen Zhoushi lost her composure first, which means that Shen Ling's face should be healing soon!

Yunxi Yue brought Qingmei into the palace.

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as I entered, I heard a deep, angry voice shouting at me.

Madam Shen and Madam Zhou sat to one side, their lips curling into cold smiles.

Yun Xiyue entered and knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."

"Yun Xiyue, how dare you! The Emperor has designated your Yun family as imperial merchants, yet you sell rouge that harms people. Do you know your crime?" The Empress Dowager spoke sternly, her eyes glaring at her with an air of authority.

Yun Xiyue knelt upright in the main hall, "Your Majesty, I run a business, and what I do is a long-term business, not a one-off transaction. How could I possibly shoot myself in the foot?"

"The rouge I sold is absolutely fine; Your Majesty the Empress Dowager is wise."

Shen Zhoushi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter used the rouge powder from her shop, and her face was ruined the next day. The evidence is conclusive, but Yunshi is still trying to deny it. I beg Your Majesty to do justice for my daughter."

Madam Zhou said, "Your Majesty, the rouge powder was bought by Zhilan as a gift for Ling'er. They are cousins ​​and have always had a good relationship."

"We can also act as mediators in this matter."

"We had approached Miss Yun privately, but she refused to admit it and didn't want to take responsibility. We had no choice but to go to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager for help."

"Ling'er is a beautiful young woman. A woman's appearance pleases others. Now that her face is ruined, what will become of her?"

As she spoke, Madam Zhou took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, her eyes red and swollen, feeling very sorry for Shen Ling.

Madam Shen Zhou joined in the weeping, pleading, "We beg the Empress Dowager to do justice for Ling'er!"

The Empress Dowager's face darkened. "Yun, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, I will not offer any further explanation. Please invite Miss Shen to the palace so that the imperial physician can examine her injuries. Also, the rouge powder needs to be checked," Yun Xiyue said respectfully, bowing her hands.

"Well, words are no proof, so let's summon the imperial physician," the Empress Dowager said.

Shen Zhou sat calmly in the chair, seemingly confident, waiting for Yun Xiyue to suffer misfortune.

Soon Shen Ling entered the palace, wearing a veil and a light green dress, having dressed up carefully, as if she were there for a talent show.
