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

Chapter 206

"Please leave, both of you!" Yun Xiaohan said without further ado, and slammed down his teacup.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan could only pull Shen Yue away first.

Shen Yue refused, saying, "I want to see Yun Xiyue. Your Yun family lied to me."

Zhou Yan was somewhat surprised to be left behind. "What do you mean by that, Lord Marquis?"

“Brother Zhou, this matter has nothing to do with you. I want to see Yun Xiyue today and ask her directly. Otherwise, I will not leave.”

Yun Xiaohan scoffed, "We lied to you? Who's lying to whom here! Lord Shen, don't push your luck. If we tear off the mask, you might not even have your last line of defense left."

If the Zhou family knew about the disgusting things he had done...

Can we still support him?

Shen Yue's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Zhou Yan and immediately became more obedient. "I have something I want to say to her. I need to see her. After I finish speaking, I'll leave."

“But Yue’er doesn’t want to see you. She said that in this life and the next, she will sever all ties with you. You are not even a stranger in her eyes.”

Yun Xiaohan gestured for someone to come in and kick him out.

It's embarrassing to be kicked out.

Zhou Yan pulled him away quickly.

Both of them came out looking rather disheveled.

Zhou Yan said, "Brother Shen, what exactly did you do to Yun Xiyue? Why is she so heartless? As the saying goes, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Even if you had some unpleasantness, she shouldn't be so cruel!"

"I'm sorry, I've dragged the Zhou family into this. My affair with Bao'er was a huge blow to her. I didn't know she loved me so much," Shen Yue said guiltily.

Zhou Yan realized that he regretted it now, thanks to Yun Xiyue's performance at the banquet and Wan Jiaojiao's constant praise and admiration.

He thought Yun Xiyue was a very good woman.

At least it wasn't as embarrassing as the Shen family described.

Zhou Yan had no time to comfort him and hurried back to the mansion to discuss it with his father.

"The only place we can find now is the Empress Dowager," said Madam Zhou.

"Yan'er, if I had known Wan Jiaojiao was so useless, unable to even handle such a small matter, I would never have let you marry her. You should have married the second young lady of the Pei family."

“If you marry the second young lady of the Pei family, you can get the Pei family’s help right now. Wan Jiaojiao and the Wan family are of no use to you.”

Zhou Yan's expression changed slightly. Looking at his mother's irrational words, he almost didn't recognize her. "Mother, Zhilan is going to compete with the Pei family's daughter for the empress's position. We are also on the opposite side of the Pei family. How could they possibly marry their daughter to me?"

“Jiaojiao has done her best. You can’t force someone to do something like this. It’s the divine doctor who’s unwilling to make house calls. Even if we beg the Empress Dowager to put pressure on him, it won’t make a difference.”

"We can't do that now either."

Because Yun Xiyue had just defeated the Southern Qiang envoy single-handedly and won 30,000 warhorses.

He is a hero.

If the Empress Dowager were to issue an edict ordering Yun Xiyue to summon the divine physician, that would be none of the Zhou family's business.

However, if the Zhou family were to incite the Empress Dowager at this time, the Emperor might be angered.

Madam Zhou cried, "Then what do you suggest we do? Your sister is in tears all day long. Yun Xiyue ruined her face, yet she went and seduced the Emperor, even racing horses with him. Now the whole capital is laughing at our Zhou family."

"All you do is say is that our Zhou family's daughter is inferior to a merchant's daughter. And your brother and sister-in-law only speak up for that poisonous woman."

Wan Jiaojiao, in particular, idolizes Yun Xiyue.

Recalling her words praising Yun Xiyue, a fierce glint flashed in Madam Zhou's eyes, and she wished she could beat this treacherous daughter-in-law to death.

Zhou Yan was so annoyed by her noise that he simply turned around and left.

"I'll go and discuss it with my grandfather."

Madam Zhou couldn't wait any longer, so she summoned Wan Jiaojiao and told her to go to the Yun residence to find Yun Xiyue. "Go to the Yun family today and use whatever means necessary to invite the divine doctor here."

Looking at her mother-in-law's sinister eyes, Wan Jiaojiao felt scared. "Mother, my husband went to the Yun family but couldn't find a divine doctor... I won't be able to find one either."

"Aren't you and Yun Xiyue best friends? I'm telling you to go, so go. If you don't go, you'll be sorry," Madam Zhou said fiercely.
