Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

"Lord Gu's words are laughable. Xunzhen has always stayed in her own courtyard, and so many ladies have testified on my behalf. But you, Lord Zhongyi, barged into the women's quarters in the inner courtyard of the manor. How could you be so shameless?"

As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, everyone started pointing and whispering.

"The Loyal and Righteous Marquis is so absurd. He has caused immense harm to many."

"Isn't this a bit too hasty? Although His Majesty has already bestowed a marriage upon the Marquis and Miss Chu, today is still Old Master Chu's birthday banquet. To do something so disgraceful is truly outrageous."

"I never expected that Lord Zhongyi and Miss Chu would have such a hobby. We almost misunderstood Miss Chu just now."

......

The ladies' chatter drifted into the side room.

When Chu Wanrou came to her senses, she saw Chu Mingxuan rush over and slit the throats of the three beggars on the spot.

"Ah! Murder!"

The Grand Tutor's wife shouted and suddenly retreated.

The guests were so frightened that they backed away repeatedly.

"Such wicked villains deserve to be killed by everyone." Chu Mingxuan's voice was filled with murderous intent, as if he had dealt with three filthy things.

"Sister, don't look."

Nangong Yue suddenly raised her hand and shielded Chu Xunzhen's eyes.

Chu Xunzhen gave him a reproachful look, and Nangong Yue suddenly chuckled softly, "Sister. Their bodies aren't pretty. If you want to see, Yue can show you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen glared at Nangong Yue, her cheeks immediately flushing red.

"How could Your Highness be so despicable? Is Your Highness so certain that His Majesty will grant us a marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue smiled confidently: "Of course. He will definitely grant us a marriage."

At this moment, Eunuch Ankang stepped forward and said to Chu Xunzhen, "Miss, you may not know this, but His Highness exchanged one hundred strokes of the cane for His Majesty's approval."

Chu Xunzhen's heart trembled.

Previously, Nangong Yue was unwilling to explain, and she didn't want to ask in detail, but now she finally understood why he had to endure those hundred blows.

"Your Highness, what merit do I possess to deserve such favor from you?"

Chu Xunzhen suddenly grabbed Nangong Yue's sleeve and said with emotion.

"My sister is a star in the sky, a pearl in the deep sea, and a treasure in my heart. If there is anything in this world that is unworthy of you, it is that I am unworthy of you."

After Nangong Yue finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

Everyone who heard him say this was stunned.

But in an instant, chaos erupted.

The foolish prince actually said sweet nothings? And he said them so beautifully.

Not far away, Chu Wanrou, who was in the side room, also heard Nangong Yue's words.

She glanced at Gu Changfeng, who hadn't even looked at her, and compared to Nangong Yue, she felt that he was nothing special.

"Madam Hou, I suddenly remembered I have matters to attend to at home, so I must take my leave now."

"Me too. My concubine is about to give birth, so I must take my leave."

"Madam Hou, I suddenly remembered that the pigs raised by my master's third concubine have given birth to piglets. I need to go back."

......

In an instant, the place was deserted.

Old Master Chu has arrived.

He had just been chatting with an old friend he hadn't seen in years, but he never expected that such a big thing would happen in the backyard.

"evil creature!"

Old Master Chu flicked his long sleeves at Chu Zhanpeng and left in anger.

"What exactly happened? Why were three men from outside the family allowed into Rou'er's courtyard?" Chu Zhanpeng shouted angrily at the crowd.

If it were just Gu Changfeng and Chu Wanrou being together, people would at most say they were too eager, since they were still engaged. After they got married, this matter would naturally become a trivial one.

However, the three men outside the household, along with the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, were being groped and bumped around indiscriminately.

Once this happened, it was obvious that within half an hour, the Ping'an Marquis's residence would become the laughingstock of the capital.

Seeing that no one responded, Chu Zhanpeng's eyes turned fierce as he suddenly glared at Li Yi.

He roared and gripped her tightly, yelling, "You bitch, how dare you betray me?"

Li Yi cried and screamed, shaking her head repeatedly, struggling violently: "Master, I didn't do it! I was framed!"

Chu Wanrou put on her clothes, pulled away from Chu Zhanpeng's hand, helped Li Yi up, and cried, "Father, it's Chu Xunzhen. Chu Xunzhen has harmed us."

"Still dare to argue?" Chu Zhanpeng roared. "Chen Lianxin has been making things difficult for Chu Xunzhen, with so many noblewomen present. How has she harmed you?"

Looking at Nangong Yue beside Chu Xunzhen, Chu Zhanpeng had already found out the whole story.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If he continues to listen to one side and believe it, Nangong Yue will probably not forgive him this time.

This madman defied the emperor and insisted on enduring a hundred lashes just to marry Chu Xunzhen, all in order to obtain His Majesty's bestowal of marriage.

Chu Mingli came out, glanced at Chu Zhanpeng, and said, "Right now, we need to find a way to stop the comments. Otherwise, if they escalate, what will happen to Mother and Rou'er?"

Chu Zhanpeng was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Lord Ping'an, this incident was an accident. If the rumors have indeed surfaced, I will absolutely not let the person who spread them get away with it."

Chu Xunzhen scoffed upon hearing this.

Gu Changfeng's expression was cold as he stared intently at her.

In the past, she only thought Chu Xunzhen was vulgar, but today, wearing Nangong Yue's cloak, Gu Changfeng only felt that the cloak was very irritating.

Gu Changfeng's voice was icy: "Chu Xunzhen, you shameless slut, you drugged me, but then you ran away in fear and pushed Wanrou to me."

"Gu Changfeng, a man should know his place. Do you think I'd be interested in your stench, or in your disreputable Chongding Marquis's mansion, someone kneeling before me?"

Gu Changfeng sneered upon hearing this: "Now that I am the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, you naturally want the status of the Marquis's wife."

At this moment, Nangong Yue spoke up: "Do you really think that the status of a mere lady of a marquis's household is comparable to marrying into the imperial family and becoming the current emperor's daughter-in-law?"

"Your Highness, don't be fooled by Chu Xunzhen. This woman and I are already engaged. She's already mine, yet she still tries to provoke Your Highness." As Gu Changfeng finished speaking, Chu Xunzhen stared intently at him.

He's going to ruin her.

"Gu Changfeng, even if you are a marquis, this county princess is not to be trifled with. I returned three years ago and have never stayed out overnight. Are you trying to kill me now?"

As he spoke, Chu Xunzhen drew his longsword and held it horizontally against his neck.

"Chu Xunzhen, you are mine in life and in death." Gu Changfeng smiled coldly, gripping the longsword with his right hand, not letting it move an inch.

Chu Wanrou looked pale and stared at Gu Changfeng in disbelief.

Gu Changfeng ignored her and addressed the crowd, saying, "Chu Xunzhen is indeed one of my people. I even know where her mole is."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Chu Wanrou's eyes flashed, and tears immediately streamed down her face. She said, "Sister, how can you be so shameless? You seduce the Ninth Prince in private, yet you also have an affair with my fiancé!"

Chu Xunzhen immediately turned around and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

Then, she looked at Gu Changfeng and asked, "Then tell me, where is my mole?"

In her past life, she had many scars and moles. But in this life, she has no scars and no moles.
