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

Chapter 151

Zhou Yan looked at her carefully and found her exceptionally beautiful today. He took off the phoenix crown from her head and lowered his head to kiss her.

As the night passed, Wan Jiaojiao woke up feeling sore all over, but she had no choice but to get up and do her hair. Zhou Yan accompanied her to pay her respects and offer tea, but her mother-in-law, Madam Zhou, was nowhere to be seen.

He said he was spending time with his daughter.

Old Madam Zhou patted her hand gently to comfort her, saying, "It's a special time, your mother will make it up to you later."

"Yes, Grandmother, I understand."

Seeing that Wan Jiaojiao did not lose her temper, Madam Zhou nodded in satisfaction, "Then I'll leave the matter of the scar-free ointment to you."

Wan Jiaojiao's mood instantly turned heavy. She didn't know what to say, so she could only bite the bullet and agree.

“Grandmother, Jiaojiao went to Yunxiyue to buy scar removal cream a long time ago, but she still hasn’t found it, so we can’t have too high hopes. If she doesn’t manage to buy the cream, please don’t blame her,” Zhou Yan reminded her.

Yesterday, he tried to ask Yun Xiyue to buy scar removal cream, but before he could even speak, she coldly and firmly refused. Even if Wan Jiaojiao went, she might not be able to succeed.

Lord Wan was his superior, and he didn't want his new wife to suffer because of this, or be scolded by his father-in-law later.

Madam Zhou said, "Hmm, let's try it first."

Wan Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhou Yan gratefully, "Thank you, husband."

"Of course, let's go! I'll take you there."

This time, I need someone's help.

Etiquette must not be neglected.

Zhou Yan had many gifts prepared and brought them to the Yun residence.

The news about the Zhou family last night has been widely circulated.

Yunnan Sheng and Madam Yun did not give Zhou Yan a friendly look. "I wonder what brings Lord Zhou here?"

Zhou Yan said with a forced smile, "Master Yun, I was really unable to get away yesterday, so I brought my bride here today to apologize to Miss Yun."

“Jiaojiao and Miss Yun are very close friends. Yesterday’s incident was a misunderstanding. It was our Zhou family’s poor hospitality that caused Miss Yun to suffer.”

Wan Jiaojiao also apologized, "Uncle Yun, Aunt Yun, it's all my fault. I want to go see Sister Xiyue."

Madam Yun had a good impression of her; it was just a pity that such a good girl hadn't met a good mother-in-law. "She's at Xiyue Pavilion. Go with the maid!"

Wan Jiaojiao left with the maid.

Zhou Yan stayed in the front yard to deal with Yunnan Sheng.

Even though he had been navigating the officialdom for several years, he was no match for Yunnan Sheng, a seasoned veteran.

"Sister Xiyue..."

Yun Xiyue had known the Zhou family would send her, and sighed inwardly, "Jiaojiao, I'm so sorry about yesterday. I'm sure you know what happened, right?"

Wan Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with shame. "Yes, I know. They brought it on themselves."

"I had no face to come see you in the first place."

"only......"

Yun Xiyue gestured for her to sit down. "I understand you had no choice in the matter. Zhou Yan sent you, didn't he?"

"Mmm." Wan Jiaojiao nodded, still looking a little tired. She hadn't slept well last night because she was newly married and had stayed up late.

"After all, she is his sister; we can't just leave her alone."

"Zhou Zhilan's entire face was slashed by Shen Ling, and the wounds were shocking. She also had several cuts on her body."

"Shen Ling seems to have gone a bit crazy."

She took a look and couldn't imagine what would have happened if the Zhou family hadn't discovered it in time. If Yun Xiyue had suffered such an experience, she would probably have been killed by them.
