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

Chapter 682

"Ah Yue, did the Wan sisters bother you?" Murong Yu's injuries weren't serious, just some minor cuts and bruises. He had gone hunting today.

"No."

Murong Yu knew that she felt guilty towards Wan Jiaojiao because she thought Wan Jiaojiao's miscarriage was related to him. "Wan Mei, you have a bad character. A woman like that would do us no good if she entered the palace. She's just a troublemaker."

“I know, that’s why I’ve already rejected Jiaojiao,” Yun Xiyue said with a smile. “Your Majesty, please don’t think I’m soft-hearted. I’m only soft-hearted because of Jiaojiao, not Wanmei.”

"Even if it's Jiaojiao, I won't give you up to another woman."

"Did you send people to investigate the Wan family?"

Yes, that's progress!

Murong Yu was in a good mood and came over to sit down with her, saying, "Well, Wan Jiaojiao is not Madam Wan's biological daughter, so it's inevitable that she'll be a little biased. Zhou Yan doesn't know, but her mother does."

No wonder Madam Zhou dislikes Wan Jiaojiao.

"Who is Wan Jiaojiao's mother?"

Murong Yu laughed and said, "I don't know about that. After all, it's Lord Wan's private matter. It wouldn't do him any good to have this exposed; it would affect his career."

"Lord Wan is an upright person, and he is capable in his work."

Even emperors have an obligation to protect their subjects.

As long as it's not a major mistake, a little bit of romantic entanglement in youth is understandable.

"Lord Wan treats his current wife well. There's no need to dwell on the past; it's Madam Wan who's holding a grudge."

That woman is already dead, and Wan Jiaojiao is innocent.

Yunxi Yue couldn't say who was right and who was wrong, after all, they were both women, and no one wanted to see their husband betray them.

Jiaojiao is older than Wanmei, which shows that he had another woman during his marriage.

This will always be a source of pain for Madam Wan.

......

"father......"

Wan Jiaojiao only learned today that her biological mother is someone else.

No wonder her mother didn't like her.

"Jiaojiao...this is not your fault," Lord Wan said guiltily.

"Then who exactly is my mother? Is she still alive?" Wan Jiaojiao asked anxiously, grabbing his hand.

"she......"

Lord Wan, however, was unwilling to speak.

"Father, I beg you, please tell me, who exactly is my mother?"

Madam Wan scoffed, "She's the daughter of a disgraced official. After giving birth to you, she abandoned you at the doorstep and ran away. Your father couldn't forget her and chased after her all the way out, only to later find out that she had become another man's mistress. She didn't die at all."

"Your father is a complete idiot!"

Lord Wan's face was grim. "It's all in the past, and she's no longer alive. Why are you still holding a grudge? Besides, Jiao Jiao is innocent..."

"She's innocent? What about our Mei'er! You've always favored her since she was little, and now she's living a good life! She married a perfect husband and is living happily ever after. My poor Mei'er, now she's being disliked by everyone." Madam Wan hugged her daughter and cried loudly.

Lord Wan was helpless and gestured to his son-in-law Zhou Yan to take his eldest daughter away first.

"Jiaojiao, let's go back first." Zhou Yan pulled her away.

Wan Jiaojiao was distraught.

"My husband, I want to know who my biological mother is. Can you help me...?"

Zhou Yan wiped away her tears, "Okay, I'll investigate. The Dali Temple has a complete file that can be checked."

"Ah."

The couple returned to their tent together. Madam Zhou expressed her displeasure at Wan Jiaojiao's birth, saying, "Yan'er, come with me."

"Mother, Jiaojiao is in a bad mood, I want to stay with her."

Madam Zhou was furious. "She's perfectly fine and doesn't need your company. Your cousin went hunting and hasn't returned. Go and find her now."

Zhou Yan's face instantly turned ugly. "I'm not going."

Jiaojiao's miscarriage was caused by her cousin Xu Yan.

Jiaojiao wasn't told because her mother insisted.
