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

Chapter 683

"Husband..."

"I'm going to see the Emperor." Zhou Yan didn't want to argue with his mother.

He left directly, which angered Madam Zhou to the point that she almost vomited blood.

"You want to check the Liang family's records from twenty years ago?" Murong Yu looked up at him. "Why?"

Zhou Yan cupped his hands and said, "My wife's birth mother may be a woman from the Liang family."

Back then, the Liang family chose the wrong side, which ultimately led to the entire family being implicated. Only one Liang woman survived, and she was rescued by the fourth master of the Xiao family and eventually became his mistress.

What a coincidence?

Because of Yun Xiaohan's background, Murong Yu had looked through the Liang family's records, so he knew very well.

"Was it Lord Wan who said that?"

"Hmm." Zhou Yan nodded. "The Emperor's Liang family case is over twenty years old. Jiaojiao, she..."

Murong Yu naturally wouldn't pursue the matter further. "If you're going to investigate, it'll be after we return to the capital. Now, how is Lord Wan handling his second daughter's marriage?"

Zhou Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that the Emperor knew about Wan Jiaojiao bringing Wan Mei to ask the Empress to let them enter the palace.

Clearly, he was dissatisfied with the Wan family.

His previous bestowal of marriage clearly expressed his intention not to allow Wan Mei to enter the palace.

But they broke off the engagement, and now they're causing trouble again.

Murong Yu did not punish them, which was already out of respect for the Empress, and he spared Zhou Yan and the Wan family this time.

"We'll get engaged when we get back."

Murong Yu didn't ask any further questions. "Well, I hope there won't be a second time. The Empress is pregnant. If your wife is still upset, it's best if she doesn't come to see A-Yue!"

"Your subject understands." Zhou Yan's expression stiffened, and he bowed and took his leave.

"Your Majesty...something terrible has happened! Her Majesty is suddenly experiencing severe abdominal pain." Someone came to report this.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu immediately ran to Yun Xiyue's side.

“Ah Yue…”

Yun Xiyue was somewhat weak. "Your Majesty."

"It's alright, the baby's fine." Murong Yu hugged her.

Fortunately, the miracle worker discovered it in time and helped her save the pregnancy.

"What's going on? Haven't you always been the one preparing A-Yue's food?" Murong Yu asked anxiously, unable to help but question Ghost Hand.

Ghost Hand said, "There's nothing wrong with what I prepared, I just don't know if I used other people's things."

"For example, if someone around her uses any medicine powder, call over anyone who saw the Empress yesterday."

They were extremely careful about what they ate, wore, and used.

With Ghost Hand personally overseeing the process, there will absolutely be no problems.

Soon, Jiang Sijin, Qi Yumin, Han Lian, Wan Jiaojiao, and Wan Mei were all summoned.

The maids and everything around them needed to be checked.

It made people panic.

Jiang Sijin fell ill as soon as she returned to her tent yesterday. Gui Shou went to see her and said, "Your Highness, you can go back now. She is not feeling well. I also visited her yesterday, and neither she nor the people around her have used anything that would be harmful to a pregnant woman."

"Consort Xian, you should go back now!" Murong Yu said.

Jiang Sijin wiped away her cold sweat, glanced quickly at Ghost Hand, and then got up to take her leave.

Next, Qi Yumin and Han Lian were checked and found to be fine.

The remaining sisters are Wan Jia.

Both of them were very nervous.

There were no problems after the inspection.

"and many more!"

As the two were about to leave, Ghost Hand stared sharply at Wan Jiaojiao, "Young Madam Zhou, is the sachet you're wearing yesterday the same one?"

Yesterday, she and her sister were arguing on the lawn when Ghost Hand happened to pass by and glanced at them. "I saw you yesterday, and the sachet you're carrying isn't this one."
