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

Chapter 575

Mrs. Zhou would not agree either.

They were even planning to arrange for Zhou Yan to take a concubine.

“Send someone to tell your mother that if Jiaojiao disagrees, then don’t arrange for Zhou Yan to take a concubine.”

This is her family matter, why should she interfere?

Zhou Zhilan looked displeased, clearly unwilling, but she didn't want to offend her at this moment.

They had no choice but to send someone back to inform Madam Zhou.

Yunxi Yue had another set of prepared plasters and bird's nest delivered to Wan Jia.

Wan Jiaojiao has not yet returned to the Zhou family.

Zhou family.

"What right does she have to interfere in the Zhou family's affairs?" Madam Zhou laughed angrily.

The person beside Zhou Zhilan said, "Madam, Consort De needs the ointment given by the Empress to restore her appearance. Also, the Emperor must not know about this."

With Yun Xiyue holding something against them, they had no choice but to comply.

“Now that we have the ointment, there’s no need to make things difficult for the young mistress. She has a good relationship with the Empress. If the Empress steps in to support her, along with the Wan family, and the young mistress really divorces the eldest son, it will be the Zhou family that suffers the loss.”

The Zhou family is not like the Shen family, who are not respectable.

Yun Xiyue's remarriage to the emperor after her divorce caused a sensation throughout the capital. She took a step forward, and many women became more confident and courageous.

Wan Jiaojiao admires Yun Xiyue the most.

She never dared to bring up divorce with Zhou Yan before; deep down, she was still a traditional and conservative woman.

But now she dares to take her child back to her parents' home and even dares to propose a divorce. If the Zhou family pushes her too far, Wan Jiaojiao might actually do it.

After thinking for a moment, Madam Zhou suppressed her anger and sent someone to fetch Wan Jiaojiao.

However, Wan Jiaojiao did not return.

Zhou Yan's injuries had improved somewhat, and he came to the Wan residence.

"Jiaojiao, I've come to pick you and An'er up."

Wan Jiaojiao looked at the man, her anger unabated, "I don't want to go back yet."

"I'm injured and I need you... Jiaojiao, I was wrong. I promise you I will never do it again."

Zhou Yan was unaware that Madam Zhou had hired someone to assassinate him.

I never imagined the injury would be so serious.

Mrs. Zhou regretted it and only realized it after confessing to her son.

However, he also tacitly approved of his mother's scheme to trick his wife into going to the palace to sell her ointment to the Empress.

On one side is his wife, and on the other side are his mother and sister.

He has no choice.

“You don’t need me. Isn’t your mother planning to take a concubine for you? Once your good cousin enters the household, she can take care of you.”

Zhou Yan gripped her hand tightly. "I didn't agree."

"I promise you, I will never take a concubine in this lifetime. Please forgive me just this once?"

Wan Jiaojiao tried to break free but couldn't shake off the man's hand. "Let me go."

"Don't let it go."

The two were pulling and tugging at each other in the pavilion.

"Madam, Her Majesty the Empress has sent someone to deliver the scar-free ointment."

At this moment, a servant brought over Granny Cao.

Wan Jiaojiao didn't want to be laughed at, so she didn't push him away again.

Zhou Yan, shameless as ever, stayed at the Wan family's house for one night.

Mrs. Wan expressed her dissatisfaction that it was inappropriate for her daughter to live at home.

Having no other choice, Wan Jiaojiao went back with Zhou Yan.

"Wait, Jiaojiao."

"Didn't you buy two boxes of scar removal cream? Give them to me first. Your sister-in-law is going back to her parents' home, so take them back to show respect to her parents."

Wan Jiaojiao felt heartbroken. "Then I want to go back to the Zhou family. Mother, what are you planning to give me to make a good impression when I go back?"

"You brat! What do you need to make a good impression when you go back to your husband's family? It was wrong of you to begin with. If it weren't for Zhou Yan being so easygoing, what would you have done if someone else hadn't come to pick you up!"

"When you get back, take good care of Zhou Yan, don't argue with him or upset him, and apologize to your mother-in-law."

"If you run back to your parents' home and are rejected by the Zhou family, don't blame me for disowning you as my daughter."

Zhou Yan brought many expensive gifts this time, which Madam Wan packed up and had her eldest daughter-in-law send to her parents' home.
