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

Chapter 150

"I'm sorry, it's all a misunderstanding." Master Zhou came over as soon as he heard the news and quickly apologized to everyone with a smile. "My wife was just too happy and drank too much. She said some things while she was drunk. Please don't take it to heart."

"Miss Yun, I'm so sorry, my wife said those things while she was drunk."

He dismissed the matter with a simple "you've had too much to drink," and then Zhou Yan quickly went to offer toasts with the wine jug. Only then did everyone return to their seats and continue eating and drinking.

Madam Zhou was taken away.

Yun Xiyue wiped her eyes. "Princess, I'll head back now."

The eldest princess clapped her hands lightly, "You've been wronged. I'll speak to the Empress Dowager about it later."

Madam Zhou, relying on the Empress Dowager's favor, became arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

It would be bad if people misunderstood that it was the Empress Dowager's doing. I must go to the palace and tell my mother to avoid being used.

After expressing her gratitude, Yun Xiyue prepared to leave.

"Miss Yun." At this moment, Zhou Yan walked over and said, "Please wait."

Qingmei stepped forward to stop them, angrily saying, "What are you doing? Stop bullying people, Zhou family! Our master will go to the palace to report this to the Emperor and ask him to stand up for our young lady."

"Qingmei, how dare you be rude!" Yun Xiyue's lips curled slightly. "Young Master Zhou, is there something you need?"

Zhou Yan, dressed in a brocade groom's robe, looked as handsome as jade and possessed an elegant and refined air.

His eyes were deep and dark as he stared at the woman in front of him. He had heard Wan Jiaojiao mention her before.

Her mother had a very poor opinion of her, but Wan Jiaojiao was different; she seemed to really like Yun Xiyue.

"I'm so sorry that you were wronged today. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother and sister."

Yun Xiyue was somewhat surprised, thinking that he was cut from the same cloth as Zhou Zhilan and her daughter!

"Today is Jiaojiao's big day. If I weren't friends with Jiaojiao, I wouldn't have come to this wedding."

"I'm sorry for causing her trouble. Please apologize to Jiaojiao for me."

Without saying much, he bowed and took his leave.

Zhou Yan frowned slightly, glanced at the woman's back before turning and going into the house.

After the banquet, he did not return to the bridal chamber immediately, but waited in Zhou Zhilan's room until the imperial physician left before coming to see the bride.

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry."

Wan Jiaojiao said, "Husband, Sister Xiyue wouldn't do such a thing..."

Zhou Yan held her hand, and the two sat together on the wedding bed. He said gently, "This matter is complicated. It was Zhilan and Cousin Ling who were at fault first, but it is also true that Ling was tricked by Yun Xiyue into ruining Zhilan's face."

"But...but if Zhilan and the others hadn't tried to harm people first, Sister Xiyue wouldn't have done this..." Wan Jiaojiao had already asked around and found out that although she had married into the Zhou family, what Zhou Zhilan had done was truly excessive.

Shen Ling was able to come and go freely in the Zhou family because Zhou Zhilan covered for her and sent away the servants of the Zhou family.

If Zhou Zhilan hadn't instigated Shen Ling to do this, how could this have happened?

If they succeed in their scheme, then Yun Xiyue will be the one who suffers.

Zhou Yan hugged her. "I know, so this matter can only be resolved privately. You and Yun Xiyue are friends, so I'd like you to step in and help buy the scar removal cream."

“Zhilan is disfigured. If she can’t be cured, it will ruin her life. She will hold a grudge and continue to harass Yun Xiyue.”

"The Shen family will also hold this matter against us. Why don't we take this opportunity to reconcile? It would be better for everyone. What do you think?"

Wan Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment.

"Jiaojiao, I'm begging you. Zhilan is my sister. She has made mistakes, but I can't let her life be ruined like this."

Wan Jiaojiao couldn't refuse her husband's request. "Well, I'll go talk to Sister Xiyue tomorrow."

"Okay, it's late tonight, let's rest first."

The wedding night, a night of blissful happiness.
