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

Chu Wanrou was stunned.

He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan inside, but his expression remained impeccable.

"Third Brother, please wait a moment. Your situation this time is different from last time. We can't use the same method."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mingxuan, though still suffering from a headache, did not say anything more.

Chu Wanrou breathed a sigh of relief.

She was secretly terrified; she almost couldn't cover it up.

"Third Brother, I'll use a new technique on you. This time you'll definitely feel more comfortable than last time."

Chu Mingxuan frowned, his eyes closed due to a headache, and nodded gently.

Chu Wanrou pressed her hand on Chu Mingxuan's scalp.

He could feel Rou'er's smooth fingertips gently rubbing against his scalp.

However, the intensity of this attack is far less than the last one.

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Mingxuan's forehead began to throb even more.

"Rou'er, use the method from last time. Only the method from last time can save me."

After speaking, Chu Mingxuan looked at Chu Wanrou expectantly.

His face was pale, but his eyes held an encouraging look.

Chu Wanrou froze, unsure of what to do.

"Third Brother, so much time has passed, I don't remember that method anymore."

As soon as Chu Wanrou finished speaking, Chu Mingxuan's eyes widened.

"What did you say?"

Chu Mingxuan's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Chu Wanrou.

The person who relieved his headache that day must have been a master of acupoints.

Rou'er is a disciple of the Heavenly Sect, so she must know the art of acupressure.

How could I have forgotten?

"Rou'er, would you like to think about it again?"

His intuition told him that only that method could alleviate his current pain.

In the pavilion, Chu Xunzhen smiled leisurely, sat down, and said, "No matter how hard she tries to recall, she could never figure it out. Because she simply doesn't know how."

Chu Wanrou's face turned pale.

"Third Brother, I really forgot." Turning her head, Chu Wanrou looked at Chu Xunzhen again and said, "Sister, why do you say that? How could you say that about me?"

Chu Mingxuan was already covered in sweat from the ordeal.

But he still comforted Chu Wanrou, saying, "Rou'er, your third brother believes in you. Think it over carefully, okay? Your third brother is really in a lot of pain."

The feeling, as if a needle were pricking him all over his brain, made him want to roar in agony.

Chu Wanrou nodded and said, "Third Brother, I really forgot."

Chu Mingxuan's face turned pale, and he was in increasing pain. His hands clenched into fists due to the intense pain, and he said in a weary voice, "Rou'er, I can't see clearly anymore."

Veins bulged on Chu Mingyuan's forehead. He suddenly stepped forward, stared at Chu Wanrou, and coldly shouted, "Chu Wanrou, are you still going to watch him suffer? Do you have no heart at all? You clearly didn't save your third brother, but you insist on saying you did."

Chu Wanrou's face froze.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her voice gentle: "Big brother, why are you saying that? I don't know what misunderstanding you have about me? I was the one who treated Third Brother's illness all along."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mingyuan sneered: "Third brother, your life was truly saved by Zhenzhen. Chu Wanrou lied to you."

Zhenzhen? They're calling each other so intimately!

Chu Wanrou's face stiffened, her heart filled with indignation.

Her eyes reddened, and she wiped away tears with a handkerchief, saying, "Brother, you can't say things like that just to give my sister credit. Is that fair to me?"

Chu Mingyuan ignored Chu Wanrou and instead looked at Chu Xunzhen, pleading, "Zhenzhen, please save our third brother. He was deceived by Chu Wanrou before."

"Brother! Have you gone mad? You actually begged her? Begged such a vicious woman? Even if I, Chu Mingxuan, die in pain, I won't let her save me."

Chu Xunzhen dusted herself off and chuckled at Granny Hua, "Granny, the excitement is over, let's go back."

"Yes, young lady." Granny Hua helped Chu Xunzhen down from the pavilion, her voice louder, "Young lady, you must be careful. Some people love to repay kindness with enmity. There might even be a poisonous snake lurking nearby, waiting for you."

Seeing that Chu Xun was really about to leave, Chu Mingyuan became anxious.

"Zhenzhen, elder brother, please, save our third brother."

Chu Mingyuan stood in front of Chu Xunzhen, his eyes filled with a glimmer of hope.

Chu Xunzhen raised an eyebrow and smiled leisurely, "Chu Mingyuan, what makes you think you can beg me? Besides, even if I were willing to save him, Chu Mingxuan wouldn't dare let me touch him. He'd be afraid I'd poison him."

"At least you have the self-awareness. Get lost. I'll spare you today."

After saying that, Chu Mingxuan was momentarily dazed, and his vision became increasingly blurry.

Chu Xunzhen gave a mocking smile, then turned and left.

With a thud, Chu Mingyuan suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Zhenzhen, don't go! Save Third Brother. Only you in the manor can save him now. I'll agree to anything you ask if you're willing to save him."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen paused in his steps.

She turned to Chu Mingyuan with a look of surprise and doubt, and asked, "Is this really true?"

"nature."

"I can relieve his pain, and even cure his ailment permanently, but I have one condition."

Everyone looked puzzled.

Chu Mingyuan asked, "What are the conditions?"

"I haven't decided yet. Once I have, you will need to comply unconditionally."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mingyuan was about to nod when Chu Mingxuan's voice rang out: "Shut up! Your elder brother will not agree to anything you ask, Chu Xunzhen, don't be so arrogant."

As he spoke, Chu Mingxuan's gaze fell on Chu Wanrou.

"Rou'er, have you remembered anything? I can't see anymore."

As Chu Mingxuan spoke, everything went black before his eyes.

He could only see one figure standing directly in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanrou stared intently at Chu Xunzhen beside her before turning around and saying, "Third Brother, Rou'er really forgot. Rou'er will send someone to find Senior Brother right away. Let Senior Brother treat you."

Chu Xunzhen is gone.

Chu Mingyuan stood up, rushed over angrily, and slapped Chu Wanrou hard across the face.

"Why? You just refuse to tell your third brother the truth. Are you determined to harm him?"

"Ah! Third Brother, save me!" Chu Wanrou cried out in pain as Chu Mingyuan knocked her to the ground.

Chu Mingxuan walked forward and could barely make out the human-shaped outline of Chu Wanrou on the ground.

He paused, stepping in front of Chu Wanrou, and said, "Brother, don't hit Rou'er. Rou'er is kind-hearted and would never lie to me."

Chu Mingyuan was unable to retreat, his steps faltering, and he let out a bitter laugh.

"Third brother, your eyes are beyond repair. They will only get worse."

On the other side, Chu Xunzhen had just left the Peony Garden when she saw Li Yi walking hurriedly.

Behind him, Li Momo was carrying a tray.

On the tray lay a wedding gown that shone with dazzling light.

"I have met my mother."

Chu Xunzhen spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi kept his eyes straight ahead and didn't even glance at Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xunzhen smiled faintly: "Mother, your Rou'er has caused Third Brother to go blind. Tell me, what should we do?"

Li Yi paused, unable to believe it.

Her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed tightly as she said coldly, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Chu Xunzhen sighed, "If Mother doesn't believe me, she can just grab any maid and ask. But Mother will definitely believe Rou'er. Even if she made your eldest son lame and disfigured, blinded your third son, and made your second son gamble, Mother will still believe her, won't she?"
