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

Chapter 216

They suspected it was a fake plaster, but after the imperial physician examined it, he said it wasn't; it was just that the amount was too small, and Zhou Zhilan's wound was too deep.

Two bottles of scar-free cream were simply not enough to heal her face.

“Lord Zhou, if it weren’t for the fact that you’ve treated Jiaojiao fairly well, I wouldn’t have said another word to you here.”

The coldness in the woman's eyes felt like blatant mockery.

Zhou Yan's face flushed. "I apologize on behalf of Zhilan. I promise she won't bother you again."

"The trouble with the Qin family has already caused me heavy losses. Let's see if you can afford to compensate me!" Yun Xiyue sneered.

With Zhuang Shi targeting them, the arena can't operate, and the Beauty Hall and Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion will also be affected.

"If Miss Zhou could go to the Qin family and tell Qin Yan what happened, I could consider buying a few more boxes of scar removal cream."

"If she can't do it, then she can be an ugly monster for the rest of her life!"

snort!

Yun Xiyue got up and left.

We left Fu Rui Lou.

Bei Ye said in a low voice, "Someone is secretly watching you, and there are also people watching near the Beauty Hall."

Is this a plan to smash up the shop at any time?

They had someone do it secretly, so the Zhuang family could do it too.

A cold glint flashed in Yun Xiyue's eyes. She whispered a few words to Xiao Wei, whose eyes lit up. He nodded and immediately went to do it.

"Miss, this servant will escort you back to your residence."

"Ah."

Not long after returning to the Yun residence, news from the outside world spread like wildfire.

When Lady Zhuang returned to the palace, she was summoned by the old princess.

"Look what you've done! Do you know that people outside are saying that our Qin family is bullying others because of our power? It was clearly your daughter's fault, but you forced Yun Xiyue to come and apologize."

"They even vandalized the arena!"

"Who told you to go and smash up the arena? Did you want the Emperor to think that our Qin family was too powerful and bullying others?" The old princess was so angry that she picked up a teacup and smashed it at her feet, and said angrily, "You're good for nothing and good for making trouble, what a fool you are!"

Looking at the shards scattered on the ground, Zhuang's expression changed slightly. "That woman smashed my shop and ruined Yan Yan's reputation. How can I let her get away with this?"

"The rumors circulating outside must have been spread by her."

The old princess snorted coldly, "This Yun Xiyue is really not simple."

"Your Highness, Madam Shen has arrived."

Li came to propose marriage on behalf of the second son of the second wife.

It was stated that the fourth young master of the Shen family was willing to marry Qin Yan, but hoped that the Prince's Mansion could help invite a divine doctor to treat Shen Yue, and also purchase scar-free ointment.

Now that Qin Yan's reputation is ruined, I'm afraid no wealthy family would be willing to marry her.

But Zhuang didn't see it that way. Li's marriage proposal only provoked her more. "What is your Shen family? A son of a concubine wants to marry my daughter? My daughter is the legitimate daughter of the Qin family. Does your Shen family deserve her?"

"Second Madam..." Madam Li was displeased, but she forced a smile. "Although the Fourth Young Master's status is not as noble as Miss Qin's, he is still the legitimate son of our Second Branch. His maternal grandfather is Grand Tutor Zhou, who is handsome and talented. He studies under the Grand Tutor and has excellent talent. He will become the top scholar in the imperial examination in the future."

"He's even worthy of being paired with a princess."

Zhuang sneered, "Then why not the eldest son of the second wife? His elder brother isn't married yet, is he?"

The fact that they proposed a marriage between Qin Yan and her second son from the second wife was clearly because they disliked Qin Yan for having her body exposed and were afraid it would affect their eldest son's future.

The second young master of the Shen family studied under the old tutor Zhou and was a well-known talent in the capital. Therefore, even though he was not the heir of the Shen family, he was still able to get engaged to Miss Chu.

If it weren't for Shen Yue's situation, he would have had a bright future.
