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

Chapter 224

Zhou Zhilan wasn't there to apologize, but to make a deal with her.

The pie in the picture is drawn to be round and big.

"Miss Zhou, is there some misunderstanding?" Yun Xiyue picked up her teacup and smiled faintly. "I have no connection with the Shen family anymore, and I've long since forgotten about past grievances. Why would I seek revenge against them?"

Zhou Zhilan didn't believe it.

If she truly didn't want to take revenge on the Shen family, she wouldn't allow Lin Bao'er to be confined to the status of a concubine for the rest of her life; for Lin Bao'er, this would be a lifelong disgrace.

She was slowly driving Lin Bao'er to despair and pain.

Lin Bao'er is now poisoned. Since the divine doctor has left the capital, no one can save her. She can only take a bowl of abortifacient medicine, and the baby is gone.

Lin Bao'er is now severely weakened; not only has she lost her child, but she will never be able to conceive again in her lifetime.

The Shen family would never allow her to be Shen Yue's legal wife; their children would remain illegitimate for life.

How could Lin Bao'er, a princess of the Southern Qiang Kingdom, have fallen to such a state? What dignity does she have left?

Just thinking about Zhou Zhilan is terrifying. She absolutely couldn't have endured it. She even went to see Lin Bao'er yesterday. After the miscarriage, she was heartbroken. It would be a lie to say she wasn't in pain.

“You caused her to lose her child, and Lin Bao’er will not let it go. She will take revenge on you. Your Yun family is just a merchant family. Can you resist the royal family of the Southern Qiang Kingdom? And the Shen family, the Shen family is now thriving with the help of our Zhou family.”

“Shen Yue’s power will only grow stronger; you alone cannot possibly bring him down.”

Yun Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly. She hadn't made it that obvious, had she?

Why was this woman so determined to take revenge on the Shen family?

Even if she wanted the Shen family to be utterly destroyed, she wouldn't do it herself, lest she be tainted by bad luck.

"Miss Zhou, you have quite the imagination. I'm an honest businesswoman; I won't provoke others unless they provoke me first."

"What happens to the Shen family is none of my business. If Lin Bao'er wants to take revenge on me, I won't sit idly by. But that's my business, and Miss Zhou doesn't need to worry about it."

Yunxi Yue put down her teacup, effectively dismissing the guest.

Seeing that she wouldn't listen to reason, Zhou Zhilan stood up angrily, "Yun Xiyue, you remember this, the humiliation you gave me today, I will repay a hundredfold in the future."

It's absolutely impossible to ask her for help or beg her.

She, Zhou Zhilan, is destined to be an empress, a woman who will rule the world.

It is impossible for a lowly merchant's daughter to lower her noble head.

"Young Miss, this woman is terrifying! Her eyes look like she could eat you alive!" Qingmei exclaimed in fright, patting her chest.

Yun Xiyue chuckled lightly. She had already died once, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Then let's wait until she's on the throne before we start saying nice things!"

Zhou Zhilan stormed out of the Yun residence.

After leaving the Yun residence, she didn't know what to do.

With 100,000 taels of silver, the only option was to sell myself to one of the three major families.

But my grandfather and the others would definitely not agree to that.

"Miss Zhou, our princess invites you." At this moment, a maid stepped forward and whispered.

Zhou Zhilan recognized the person who came; it was someone from Lin Bao'er's side.

"What business does Madam Shen have with me?"

Just as Lin Bao'er was recovering from a miscarriage and was pale and weak, she said, "Sister Zhilan, I know you went to see Yun Xiyue, but that woman will never help you."

"But I can help you."

Zhou Zhilan didn't believe she could help her, but she had no other choice. "Princess, if you can help me, I will definitely repay you in the future."

"I only ask that Yun Xiyue suffer a terrible death." A ruthless glint flashed in Lin Bao'er's eyes as she gestured for someone to give Zhou Zhilan a bottle of medicine.

"What is this?" Zhou Zhilan looked at the pitch-black bottle and felt a strange sense of unease and fear, and dared not touch it rashly.

"A medicine that can make you the future empress."

......

After leaving the Shen family, Zhou Zhilan returned to the Zhou residence.

Her appearance returned to normal the next day.
