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

Chapter 123

If the Shen family wants to curry favor with the Zhou family, they can only do so by scheming against Zhou Zhilan.

"See! There's more to come!" Yun Xiyue was more patient and composed. "Let's make money first."

Seeing that her mistress had her own plans, Granny Cao felt relieved and said with a smile, "Xiao Wei has delivered the medicinal herbs, and this old servant has brought them to you."

"Ah."

Yunxi Yue plans to make some more Divine Soul Incense and Nourishing Pills.

In addition, a condensed ambergris bead was prepared.

It was contained in an exquisite, delicate jade ball.

"Miss, who is this Cold Fragrance Pearl made for? Is it for the eldest young master?" Qingmei asked curiously.

Granny Cao pinched her ear. "This is Longyanxiang. There is only one person in the world who can use it."

That is the Emperor.

If the eldest son is seen going out with someone, it could be a capital offense.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Granny, please be gentle!" Qingmei covered her ears, looking at Yun Xiyue in surprise, "Miss... this is for..."

Yun Xiyue pressed her finger to her lips, "Keep your voice down, what if Mother and the others find out?"

Her affair with Murong Yu must not be known to anyone.

It would be bad for him and for herself; she couldn't cause him any trouble.

The Dragon's Breath Incense Pearl was indeed for Murong Yu, because he had helped him a lot, and he had to return the favor.

She just didn't know how to give it to him.

Thinking of the King of Qin.

Last time, there was an excuse for sending medicine, but if we send the fragrant beads rashly this time, the King of Qin will become suspicious.

"I'm just mixing these for fun, and no one is allowed to tell." Yun Xiyue put the contents into a box and hid them.

Granny Cao sighed inwardly, wishing that her young mistress could marry the emperor.

But the emperor is no ordinary man; how easy would it be to marry him?

The young lady's nature made it impossible for her to willingly become a concubine.

Entering the palace as a concubine, but not as the empress, means a more difficult path ahead than remaining in the marquis's household.

Yun Xiyue continued to work on the scar-free ointment without thinking too much. She knew that a relationship between her and Murong Yu was impossible, so she gave up early on.

Now all she wants to do is protect her parents, her older brother, and the Yun family.

"Miss, Qinghe met with the Marquis and was taken back to the Marquis's residence by him. I think she should be fine," Xiaowei reported upon returning.

Whether she can win the Marquis's favor depends on her own fate.

Yun Xiyue said calmly, "Yes, here is a box of scar-removing ointment. Take it back and use it. You were injured in the attack earlier, weren't you?"

Xiao Wei quickly declined, "Miss, I don't need it. A man with scars is just showing his wildness!"

"Silly boy, Miss is asking you to test the medicine and see the effect of the scarless ointment. Who cares if you're wild or not!" Qingmei laughed.

Xiao Wei was immediately embarrassed, but he took it and said, "Then I will take it back and try it. Thank you for your generous gift, Miss."

"When I have the chance to see my master, I'll have him make you a golden silk soft armor. That way you won't get hurt and it will even save your life." Yun Xiyue didn't want the person who was good to her and protected her to get hurt again.

Xiao Wei was deeply moved and secretly vowed to protect the young lady with his life.

"Miss, the divine doctor hasn't come to see you for a long time. When will he be back?" Qingmei brought her a teacup.

Yun Xiyue said with a sigh, "I don't know either. My master has a strange temper and doesn't like living in groups."

When she was five years old, her father carried home a man covered in blood who was dying. Her father saved him.

He said his name was Ghost Hand, but he didn't know where he came from. After being injured, he lost his memory.

He recuperated at the Yun family home from then on. He didn't like to talk, but when he was alone, he would tinker with many strange things.

My favorite things to do are to make plasters, poisons, various pills, fragrant pills, and cosmetics.

She followed along and learned from him, and he wasn't angry at all; in fact, he wanted to take her as his apprentice.

In her eyes, her master was omnipotent and there was nothing he couldn't do.

When she was twelve, her master suddenly said he had to go out for a while, and he never came back after that.

My father saw him once three years ago, and then he disappeared without a trace.

"I miss my master very much." Yun Xiyue looked out the window at the peach blossoms and thought of the time she spent with her master, and couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

"Miss, Lord Shen has arrived."

Yun Xiyue's expression immediately darkened. She put down her teacup and said irritably, "What is he doing here?"

"It must be for the scar removal cream."

"Madam has sent him away. She asked me to tell you that you must not go out, lest you be tainted by bad luck," Sangju, a maidservant of Madam Yun, ran over to report.
