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

Gu Changfeng immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Impossible."

"Lord Zhongyi, Miss Chu indeed has no moles or scars."

After Zhang Qing finished speaking, the two old women nodded and said, "Although we did not examine Miss Chu's inner chambers, based on our years of experience serving noble people, we can confirm that Miss Chu is still a virgin."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng's face turned pale and then red.

Of course he knew that Chu Xunzhen was still a young lady in her boudoir in this life, but didn't she have many scars on her body? How come she's different from her previous life?

Chu Xunzhen's gaze turned icy as it suddenly fell upon Gu Changfeng. He said, "Lord Zhongyi broke off our engagement, yet he's still resentful and insists on slandering me like this. How can you do this to Sister Rou'er? Now, fulfill your promise, kneel before the gates of my Ping'an Marquis's residence, and kowtow in front of everyone to admit your mistake."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng's face turned pale, and he looked embarrassed.

His voice was low as he stared intently at Chu Xunzhen, scrutinizing every detail of her expression, and said, "Do you really have to go this far?"

Chu Xunzhen laughed wildly, pointed at himself, and said, "I went too far? Gu Changfeng, if I hadn't argued my case and had someone investigate, my reputation would be ruined by you now. What right do you have to criticize me?"

Nangong Yue's face was cold as she stared intently at Gu Changfeng and said, "Lord Zhongyi, are you perhaps going to renege on your promise? In that case, I can only treat this as a casual conversation and mention it to my father?"

Threat!

This is a blatant threat.

Although the emperor did not concern himself with the family affairs of his court officials, a stable homeland represented stability.

Gu Changfeng suppressed his anger and immediately said, "I always keep my word. I'll go now."

With that, Gu Changfeng walked towards the gate of the Ping'an Marquis's residence.

Seeing that there weren't many people around, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Also.

Even if ordinary people are curious, they are busy making a living every day, so how could they possibly pay attention to the affairs of the wealthy and powerful?

The Chu family members followed behind Gu Changfeng.

Chu Wanrou's voice rang out: "Sister, please forgive Brother Changfeng! He did all this because he loves you. How can you be so heartless as to subject him to such humiliation?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen said, "Those three beggars climbed on you and insulted you because they loved you. How could you be so heartless as to watch your brother kill them?"

Chu Wanrou choked, her face turned pale, and her eyes reddened as if she had been stimulated.

Li Yi retorted angrily, "How can that be the same? Those three beggars are thieves, unrelated men, and villains who humiliated Rou'er. Gu Changfeng was once the heir of the Marquis of Chongding, and now he is the Marquis of Zhongyi. He is young and handsome, and his future is limitless. Chu Xunzhen, Rou'er was humiliated, how can you use this to attack her? How can you be so vicious?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen raised her handkerchief, covered her mouth, and chuckled softly.

"Me, vicious? I think Mother and Rou'er would accept anyone who's in a high position of power without question, wouldn't they?"

Chu Zhanpeng's face darkened, and he immediately roared at Li Yi, "Shut up! You've completely disgraced us!"

Li Yi looked aggrieved, her fingers clenching her sleeves, her teeth clenched, and she glared at Chu Xunzhen with fiery eyes.

"elder sister......"

A flash of jealousy crossed Chu Wanrou's eyes. She tugged at Chu Xunzhen's sleeve and pleaded.

Gu Changfeng spoke coldly: "Rou'er, there's no need to beg him. I, Gu Changfeng, have lost, and I have lost honorably."

As he spoke, he walked straight to the white stone steps below the plaque of the Marquis of Ping'an's residence.

With a thud, he knelt down.

"Chu Xunzhen, this Marquis..."

Before Gu Changfeng could finish speaking, Chu Xunzhen gave Granny Hua a look.

With a clang, everyone saw that Granny Hua had started banging gongs and drums.

Dong dong qiang! Dong dong qiang...

"Come and see! Come and see! The Marquis of Loyalty has knelt down to apologize to the County Princess. The Marquis of Loyalty wronged the County Princess, and now that he has lost the bet, he has knelt down to apologize. Please, everyone, be witnesses and keep a close eye on him!"

Granny Hua's voice carried a malicious intent.

Before long, the area in front of the Marquis of Ping'an's residence was filled with onlookers.

Gu Changfeng's face turned ashen. He opened his mouth to apologize, but Nangong Yue stared intently at him.

That look in his eyes humiliated him.

How dare a prince, whose condition fluctuates and whose illness is recurring, stare at him like that?

It wasn't until the area in front of the Marquis's mansion was packed with people that Chu Xunzhen's gaze finally fell on Gu Changfeng.

"Loyal Marquis, let's begin." She said indifferently.

Gu Changfeng looked around and realized that he had become the center of everyone's discussion.

That kind of teasing made him extremely uncomfortable.

"I, Gu Changfeng, have misunderstood Miss Chu..."

Before the words were finished, Nangong Yue spoke up, her tone youthful yet firm: "Stop. Lord Gu, that's not what you said just now. You need to tell everyone what you did and why you did it."

As Nangong Yue finished speaking, Gu Changfeng felt a surge of humiliation.

He stared intently at Nangong Yue, then glanced at Chu Xunzhen, and roared, "Chu Xunzhen, do you really want to destroy me? I know you hate me because of love, but can't you be a little more mature?"

Chu Xun was truly puzzled.

"Gu Changfeng, our engagement has been called off, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Besides, you and your sister are with three beggars again, oh right, and you even dragged Mother along. I have no interest in experiencing this kind of happiness. As for hating you because of love, that's utter nonsense, because I find you dirty."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Changfeng turned pale and slowly opened his mouth.

"I, Gu Changfeng, wanted Chu Xunzhen to become my concubine, so I slandered her by saying she had a mole and ruined her reputation. I deliberately slandered her; I'm sorry, Princess." Gu Changfeng finished speaking through gritted teeth and roared, "Are you satisfied now?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen said, "You still need to go to Lord Zhou Qing to receive your punishment."

Nangong Yue immediately said to Anshun, "Anshun, take Lord Gu to Lord Zhou and see him receive his punishment."

"Yes." Eunuch Anshun's eyes lit up, and he immediately strode forward, ordering the eunuchs to take Gu Changfeng, who was like a dead dog, to the government office.

As he was leaving, Gu Changfeng snorted coldly, "I can walk by myself."

Chu Xunzhen saw him mouth the words, "I will come back."

She didn't take it seriously; grasshoppers don't last long after autumn.

Chu Xunzhen addressed the crowd, saying, "I'm sorry to have taken up your time. Here's a small reward to thank you all for coming."

As she spoke, Granny Hua took out a large bag of loose silver from her waist and dispersed it among the crowd.

The broken silver coins scattered among the crowd like flowers falling from the sky.

"Haha! Quick, pick it up!"

"There's money! Quick, pick it up!"

"quick!"

......

The crowd cheered excitedly, creating a lively atmosphere.

After picking up the reward money, they spread the word, and in less than a day, the story of Gu Changfeng, Chu Xunzhen, Chu Wanrou, and the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion had spread throughout the entire capital.

Just then, Eunuch Cao arrived at the gate of the Marquis's residence carrying the imperial decree of marriage.

Everyone immediately knelt down.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: There is a woman named Chu Xunzhen, who is beautiful both inside and out, possesses exceptional talent and wisdom, and has a heart for the world. She is to be the Princess of Huai Ren County. Now, by imperial decree, she is bestowed the title of the Ninth Prince's principal wife, and she and the Ninth Prince, Nangong Yue, shall be married on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. This is the imperial decree."

Eunuch Cao looked at Chu Xunzhen kindly and said gently, "Princess, shall you receive the decree?"

Nangong Yue's gaze fell on Chu Xunzhen, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

"Should my sister accept the imperial decree?"

Chu Xunzhen, kneeling on the ground, stretched out his hands to receive the imperial decree, but suddenly, something unexpected happened.
