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

Chapter 662

Madam Wan accompanied them to the Zhou residence.

Now the Zhou family is keeping an eye on her and won't allow Wan Jiaojiao to leave the mansion. Madam Wan is using the excuse of taking her daughter home to recuperate.

Thinking that Wan Jiaojiao had just lost her child and that going home might help her feel better, Zhou Yan agreed, "Jiaojiao, why don't you go back to the Wan family home for a few days? I'm planning to leave Beijing for a while."

He's going to capture Lin Bao'er.

Wan Jiaojiao said calmly, "What's the use of bringing them back? Our child is gone on its own..."

As she spoke, she burst into tears, "You might as well find a way to send Mei'er to the palace."

The person who harmed her child wasn't just Lin Bao'er, but also Yun Xiyue.

Zhou Yan frowned, "Jiaojiao...we'll have children in the future."

"If you truly love me, then help Mei'er enter the palace."

"No need to say anything else." Wan Jiaojiao coldly pushed him away.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yan felt bad.

After she returned to the Wan family, she made an appointment with Jiang Chao, the second young master of the Jiang family.

In the capital, and working in the same administrative office, they were colleagues, and their interests were quite similar.

"What brings you here to treat me to a meal?" Jiang Chao greeted him with a smile.

"If you marry Wan Mei, you'll be brothers-in-law. It'll be a double blessing. Congratulations!"

Jiang Chao smiled and followed him into the restaurant.

He has no requirements for marrying a wife.

Since it was a marriage bestowed by the Emperor and she was Shangfeng's daughter, he naturally had no reason to object.

Unlike Zhou Yan, he was merely a minor figure in the Jingzhao Prefecture.

With my father-in-law and brother-in-law looking after me, life will be even more comfortable. Why not?

......

Yunxi Yue thought that Wan Mei would not be able to enter the palace, but she did not expect that something would happen.

"Your Majesty, the Wan family wants to break off the engagement with the Jiang family."

"Why?"

Yun Qingli felt strange, and at this moment Murong Yu had already come from the Imperial Study. Judging from his expression, it was clear that things were not so simple.

"Jiang Chao got drunk and acted out. He hugged the second young lady of the Zhou family in public and flirted with her. This incident became widely known."

"After returning home, Zhou Zhiruo almost hanged herself."

If the Wan and Zhou families both made a scene in front of him, then he would have no choice but to withdraw the imperial decree of marriage.

Yun Xiyue said, "How could Jiang Chao drink alcohol? Does he have a drinking habit?"

"I'm usually playful."

"But there are indeed problems."

However, no record could be found that "he went to a restaurant to drink with Zhou Yan".

"The two of them usually have a good relationship."

Murong Yu said, "I have decided to confer the title of Consort De upon Qi Yumin."

That way, no one can even think about taking this position.

Firstly, the Qi family are also the Empress Dowager's people, so she certainly won't object, which would be a favor to the Qi family.

Although he had no support in the imperial court.

But Murong Yu felt there was no need to curry favor with these court officials; if they got used to it, they would take advantage of him.

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "Alright, I'll listen to Your Majesty."

Murong Yu reached out and touched her belly, his expression softening. "It seems to have grown a little bit."

"You'll grow up every day."

"It's been almost three months. My master will come over in a few days to take my pulse and say he can tell whether it's a boy or a girl."

Murong Yu was surprised. Was Ghost Hand's medical skill really that amazing?

He had never seen a doctor who could tell whether a baby was a boy or a girl by taking its pulse within three months.
