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

Chapter 562

"Aunt, don't be sad. I will help my cousin find a good husband."

Madam Shen nodded, her face full of gratitude.

He sent someone to take her to see Shen Huan.

Zhou Zhilan spoke privately with her mother about buying scar removal cream.

The scar-free ointment was only available at Yunxiyue's pharmacy, but it's no longer sold there.

"Mother, what should I do now? I don't want to keep hiding like this anymore. Besides, if I don't restore my appearance, the Emperor will dislike me."

Madam Zhou knew her daughter's suffering. "Mother will find a way to ask Madam Xiao to help us buy some ointment."

"Can't I ask my sister-in-law? I don't want to be found out."

Wan Jiaojiao is, after all, a member of the Zhou family.

A cold glint flashed in Madam Zhou's eyes. "Yes, I'll go back and have her figure something out. Don't rush things. Don't show yourself now, and don't confront Yun Xiyue directly."

Otherwise, even if Yun Xiyue is brought down, the position of Empress will not be hers.

They'll wait for Pei Fang and Zeng Rou to fight her, and in the end, both will be severely injured, allowing the Zhou family to reap the benefits.

After exchanging a few words with her daughter, Madam Zhou left the palace.

......

Wan Jiaojiao and Zhou Yansheng had a son.

It will be its first birthday in a few days.

We are planning to hold a first birthday party.

Upon learning this, Yun Xiyue sent someone to deliver a gift.

Wan Jiaojiao was very happy, and the next day she took her son to the palace to express her gratitude.

"I've met the Queen."

The two were quite excited to see each other after not seeing each other for more than a year.

"Jiaojiao, come and sit down."

"Is this your son?" Yun Xiyue's eyes lit up when she looked at the child. She reached out and hugged him, poking his chubby cheeks.

What's the baby's name?

Wan Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Zhou Yu'an."

"Good name."

The child sat in her lap without crying or fussing, and even smiled at her; he was quite well-behaved.

"Time flies," Yun Xiyue sighed. "When I left the capital, An'er, you hadn't been born yet."

"Yes, it won't be long before Her Majesty becomes pregnant and gives birth to the little prince safely." Wan Jiaojiao was happy for her. It had really not been easy for her all this time, and it had truly shown her that a woman can only be happy when she meets the right person.

The two chatted for a while, and then someone came to report.

"what?"

Wan Jiaojiao's expression changed slightly, as if she had encountered some urgent matter; she looked flustered and anxious.

"Your Majesty, I'll head back now. Zhou Yan is injured, and quite seriously."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi Yue sent someone to go and see for herself.

"Take the imperial physician with you when you go back."

"Thank you, Sister Xiyue."

Granny Cao went with them to the Zhou residence.

I went back to the Yun family on the way and didn't return until the afternoon. "Your Majesty, Young Master Zhou is seriously injured, and his wounds are quite severe."

"His Majesty arranged for a military doctor to treat him, and he was saved by using the same method you used to treat the soldiers in the military camp."

Yun Xiyue asked, "Was it an assassination attempt?"

"It seems that while patrolling the streets, he encountered a thug who was attacking people, and then Young Master Zhou was accidentally slashed while trying to save people."

"He was stabbed in the chest, and the wound is this deep," Granny Cao said, gesturing as she spoke.

"Young Madam Zhou fainted from crying."

Yun Xiyue frowned. "That was truly an undeserved disaster. Send someone to deliver some medicine!"

Granny Cao nodded. "The Zhou family said they want some scar removal cream."

When the topic of scar removal cream came up, Yun Xiyue's eyes narrowed slightly. "Hmm, let's send someone to investigate how Zhou Yan got injured."

Granny Cao found it strange, "Does Your Highness think there's a problem?"

"That wound is very deep; a slight mistake could be fatal!"
