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

Chapter 653

Zeng Xiao was at his wit's end. "If you're not feeling well, should I get someone to come and apply the medicine for you?"

There was still no movement from under the covers.

Seeing that she was emotionally unstable, he didn't dare leave and just sat in the room. When he went over and lifted the blanket, he found that she was asleep.

He breathed a sigh of relief. When she woke up, he learned that they had agreed to get married, and Zeng Xiao would then go to the Zeng family.

With things having come to this point, Murong Yu had no way to make them annul the engagement. The next day, Zeng Xiao went to the palace to see Ghost Hand, hoping to buy some ointment to treat skin ulcers for Pei Xuan.

But Ghost Hand did not see him.

Jiaofang Hall.

When Yun Xiyue heard that he was requesting an audience, she was quite surprised and came out to meet him.

"General Zeng, please have a seat."

Zeng Xiao glanced at her, his gaze falling on her stomach, his expression becoming complicated. "I have something to ask of Your Majesty the Empress."

He mentioned buying the plaster.

"Has the imperial physician examined it?"

Zeng Xiao shook his head, "Pei Xuan is shy, she won't let anyone see..."

"I will have someone send some ointment to the Prime Minister's residence."

Zeng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty."

He showed no intention of leaving.

Yun Xiyue looked at him, "General Zeng, is there anything else?"

"My sister... Consort Shu, I apologize to you on her behalf for what she did. I am truly sorry."

Zeng Xiao understood that his sister couldn't turn back now, "She wasn't like this before."

"If it were me, I could let it go, since we are indeed on different sides. But she not only wants to harm me, but also Xiao Shu, and is even willing to sacrifice your own brother's happiness to achieve her own goals. Do you think such a person still has any conscience?" Yun Xiyue chuckled.

Zeng Rou has reached a point of utter depravity.

From the day she was in the cave in the plum grove of Kyushu City, Yun Xiyue saw through her true colors.

“You are her brother, and I cannot interfere if you want to protect her, but if she dares to hurt me and the child in my womb, I will make her wish she were dead.”

Yun Xiyue's eyes were icy cold. She was pregnant now, and there were many people who wanted to harm her baby.

Zeng Xiao's expression changed slightly, and his lips moved, but he was speechless.

He didn't come to his senses until Murong Yu came in.

"What are you doing here?" Murong Yu stared at him sharply.

"Buy medicine."

"I will retire first."

Zeng Xiao practically fled in panic.

"Ah!"

"A-Yue is not allowed to see her again."

Yun Xiyue said, "He really came to buy medicine from Master, but Master is busy."

Murong Yu, however, felt that Zeng Xiao simply wanted to see her.

Don't underestimate a man's intuition.

The way Zeng Xiao looked at her just now already gave it away.

When did it start?

Murong Yu didn't even notice.

"Well, just don't see him."

Yun Xiyue nodded. "Now the Pei family and the Zeng family are going to form a marriage alliance."

Yes!

Murong Yu had a headache. "The imperial examinations are in a few months, and I plan to support those from humble backgrounds."

These old ministers, one by one, have begun to rebel.

They're hard to control; it's time to retire them and let new people take the lead.

Yunxi Yue also has her own plans.
