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

Chapter 217

"Well... the second young master is preparing for the imperial examination, so he doesn't plan to get married for the time being, so as not to be distracted."

Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly. "Then we'll wait until Young Master Shen becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination before he comes to our manor to propose marriage."

However, Madam Shen Zhou was reluctant to let her eldest son's marriage be ruined by a woman.

"No, how can Lang'er marry a woman with a tarnished reputation?"

If it weren't for needing the Qin family's power, she wouldn't have let her youngest son marry a woman like Qin Yan. She might have considered it before Qin Yan's reputation was completely ruined.

But if Qin Yan had no stain on her record, then it wouldn't be the Shen family's illegitimate son's turn to benefit from her.

Qin Yan's status is such that she could enter the palace and become the empress.

Li said, "Second sister-in-law, if you are unwilling, there is nothing I can do. Madam Qin has specifically asked for Lang'er, and she wants him to come and propose marriage after he becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination."

Madam Shen Zhou was so angry that her face twisted in rage. "Bah! That slut of a daughter of hers, she thinks she can marry my Lang'er in a grand and glorious way?"

If Shen Lang were to become the top scholar in the imperial examination, who wouldn't be eager to marry him!

Li said, "Then go and talk to the Qin family. I have no other choice."

“Sister-in-law, now you want to ask the divine doctor to treat Yue’er. My Ling’er needs ointment, we can find someone else to buy it.” Shen Zhou sneered, she knew exactly what Li was up to. “Since the Qin family is unwilling, why not let the Marquis marry her? Anyway, the position of the Marquis’s principal wife is vacant. The Southern Qiang Princess can only be a concubine for the rest of her life.”

Now she's not even a concubine anymore.

Lin Bao'er was also poisoned and needed a miracle doctor to detoxify her in order to give birth to her child safely; otherwise, she would have to have an abortion to save her life.

It is the eldest branch of the family that needs to form a marriage alliance and gain influence within the Qin family, not the second branch.

Shen Zhoushi was unwilling to sacrifice her beloved eldest son's marriage.

The second wife only had one son and one daughter, and the daughter's life was ruined. Since no one else could come forward to arrange a marriage, they were counting on the second wife.

Li's face was gloomy and her hatred for Yun Xiyue grew stronger the more she thought about it. "Fine! Then go buy the ointment yourself! Anyway, even if we hire a miracle doctor, they might not be able to cure my daughter's condition."

Shen Zhou's expression changed slightly. She couldn't sit still any longer and immediately sent someone to the Zhou family to inquire whether they had managed to buy the plaster.

It turned out not to be.

Two boxes of scar-free cream were not enough to heal Zhou Zhilan's face.

The Zhou family is now so anxious they don't know what to do.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager intends to select candidates for the Emperor. If Zhilan misses out, she will not be able to enter the palace."

They will miss out on the backcourt position.

Zhou Zhilan and Madam Zhou were so anxious that they started to cry.

"Brother, can't you let sister-in-law go to the Yun family again?"

Zhou Yan said irritably, "Jiaojiao doesn't want to come back with me now."

Why did you instigate Qin Yan to cause trouble for Yun Xiyue?

Zhou Zhilan's eyes darted away, "I didn't..."

"Hmph, do you think you've covered your tracks perfectly? Let me tell you, you reap what you sow. You have to deal with the mess you made yourself, and don't come looking for me again." Zhou Yan was furious at her guilty look. His wife had been driven away, and they hadn't shown any remorse.

Do you still want Jiaojiao to buy the plaster?

"If you want the plaster, go buy it yourself."

Zhou Yan was so angry that he turned around and left.

"Mother, look at my eldest brother, he doesn't care about my life or death for Wan Jiaojiao... Waaah..."

Madam Zhou thought to herself, "If she's not coming back, then she should never come back."

"Mother, what should we do now?" Zhou Zhilan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to buy the ointment and her face would be ruined.

What else could we do but go to Yunxiyue's door and beg for help?
