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

Chapter 140

Many people felt embarrassed and harbored resentment towards Yun Xiyue.

"Who do you think you are? You're just a merchant, a royal merchant who bought his position with money. Do you really think you're someone important in the capital?"

"She was nothing more than a woman abandoned by Marquis An."

Yun Xiyue's eyes darkened slightly as she coldly glanced at the women: Qi Yumin, Qin Yan, the daughter of the second branch of the Qin Prince's mansion, and their two lackeys.

She doesn't know him.

"Hmph, what are you glaring at? Did we say something wrong? If you hadn't climbed up to our Prince Qin's mansion and curried favor with my sister-in-law, the Emperor wouldn't have bestowed upon you the title of Imperial Merchants." Qin Yan was extremely arrogant and looked down on Yun Xiyue.

Yun Xiyue frowned, "If you're so capable, try saying these words to the King of Qin and the Queen Consort."

"You..." Qin Yan's face turned green with anger.

Yun Xiyue sneered, "What? You don't dare?"

"Alright, Sister Xiyue, Yan Yan, stop arguing. It's all a misunderstanding. Don't make things difficult for Jiao Jiao." Zhou Zhilan stepped forward, looking understanding.

Qin Yan snorted coldly and glared at Yun Xiyue, then said, "Your Wan family has also fallen into depravity, actually associating with a merchant's daughter. Don't come looking for me wherever she is in the future."

He turned and left without a word, displaying an extremely arrogant attitude.

"Yanyan!"

Zhou Zhilan called out to the girl who was angrily about to leave, then turned to look at Wan Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, Yan Yan seems angry, I'll go check on her."

After she left, the others gradually left as well.

"I'm sorry, Jiaojiao..." Yun Xiyue hadn't expected this situation. She had thought that some of these young ladies from prominent families were different.

Wan Jiaojiao smiled bitterly, "It's not your fault. I know that if it weren't for Zhou Zhilan, they wouldn't associate with me. These people were never my friends to begin with."

“I’ve known Zhou Zhilan since I was very young. If she hadn’t secretly instigated others, they wouldn’t have attacked you like that.”

She knew very well what kind of person Zhou Zhilan was.

"I'm the one who should apologize."

Yun Xiyue said, "It's alright, it's a small matter. This headdress was directly obtained from the jewelry shop of my Yun family. It cost less than ten thousand taels, so you don't need to worry."

"I wanted to give you this headdress because I think it suits you."

Yun Xiyue pulled her to sit on the dressing table, did her hair and makeup, put on her headdress, and had someone bring her wedding dress to put on.

"Miss, you are so beautiful!" The maid next to her exclaimed in admiration.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Wan Jiaojiao was both amazed and delighted. "Is this really me? So beautiful..."

“You are beautiful as you are.” Yun Xiyue said with a smile.

Wan Jiaojiao shook her head. "No, I'm not beautiful. People might just compliment me on being petite and cute."

She was not tall, and her appearance was not as delicate and beautiful as Zhou Zhilan's.

Every time I'm with her, I feel like I'm just a supporting character.

"Now look at me, aren't you beautiful?"

Wan Jiaojiao looked at the bride's makeup in the mirror again and said shyly, "Hmm...it looks better than usual."

"This headdress is originally for the bride. You can wear it and have this makeup done the day after your wedding."

Wan Jiaojiao nodded and said happily, "Yes, I like it very much. I want to wear this headdress on my wedding day."

"Miss, Madam requests your presence." At this moment, a maidservant came to report.

Yunxi Yue then took her leave.

Madam Wan didn't come over, which clearly meant she didn't like him.

"understood."

"Sister Xiyue, thank you. I really like the dowry you sent."

I'll come visit you when I have time.

After Wan Jiaojiao removed her headdress and clothes and saw her out of the mansion, she went to see Madam Wan.

I don't know what the mother and daughter said.

Yun Xiyue did not return to the Yun residence, but instead went to the spice shop, which was still under repair and would not be open for several more days.

"Miss Yun."
