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

Chu Mingxuan slumped to the ground, like a wounded and helpless lone wolf.

Upon hearing Chu Xunzhen's voice, his unfocused pupils began to focus again.

Although he couldn't see it, he could sense that Chu Xunzhen, whom he had misunderstood many times, was right in front of him.

"What did you say?"

Chu Mingxuan's eyes trembled slightly as he asked in disbelief.

"Third Brother, does your wound hurt? I still have some of those specially made pills left over from last time, you can have them all."

Chu Mingxuan noticed that a porcelain bottle had been stuffed into his arms.

A familiar medicinal scent wafted from the bottle opening.

Chu Mingxuan's body trembled. He immediately opened the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and put it in his mouth.

"This is the medicine! This is the taste!" Chu Mingxuan exclaimed excitedly. "Chu Xunzhen, did you make this medicine yourself?"

"Third Brother already knew the answer, didn't he?"

Holding the porcelain bottle, Chu Mingxuan said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."

Chu Xunzhen's face held a mocking expression, but she said sweetly, "Third Brother, we are family. I don't care about what happened before at all."

She certainly didn't care about what happened before; she cared about her past life.

She cared that Chu Mingxuan had once turned a blind eye to her pain. She died, and even though he knew it was Chu Wanrou who did it, he still helped cover it up.

He knew perfectly well that she had married Gu Changfeng in her previous life, yet he still helped Chu Wanrou enter the inner palace and plot to take her life.

In her past life, Chu Wanrou used the various Gu poisons given to her by Chu Mingxuan to manipulate her at will, bullying her, who had left the Gu Sect and had her memories of the Gu Sect erased.

In this life, he will truly experience the taste of eternal darkness.

Upon hearing this, Chu Mingxuan felt even more guilty.

Chu Xun knew that his guilt was only temporary. Blindness wasn't enough; becoming a beast wasn't enough.

She wanted them to become enemies.

"Third Brother, get up first."

Chu Xunzhen helped Chu Mingxuan up and ordered the servants to come in and clean the room.

Chu Mingxuan sat to the side, feeling others tidy his clothes, and suddenly felt that he was finally acting like a human being.

Just now, Rou'er humiliated him and abandoned him, and neither his father nor his elder brother gave him a second glance.

He's a patient, but they ignore him.

Only his sister, whom he had previously looked down upon, treated him this way.

"I'm sorry." Chu Mingxuan's voice trembled. He felt uneasy thinking about how he had never looked at Chu Xunzhen properly before, had even stepped on the gift she gave him, and had even misunderstood her as a villain who stole credit.

Even though it was Chu Xunzhen who took care of him, he refused to believe it.

"Third Brother, it's alright. I can heal your eyes. It just requires one herb, the Ice Soul Lotus. I remember Rou'er has some, so I'll go get it for you. You can wash up here and wait."

Chu Mingxuan sighed and said, "Thank you, Zhenzhen."

Really?

Chu Xunzhen's expression stiffened slightly.

Hearing him shout like that made her want to vomit.

In her past life, she dreamed that Chu Mingxuan would call her "little sister" so intimately, but in this life, she only felt disgusted.

"You're welcome, Third Brother."

Chu Xunzhen closed the door for Chu Mingxuan, ordered the servants in the courtyard to give the third young master a proper bath and toileting, and then left.

"Sister, are you going back now?"

Nangong Yue looked at Chu Xunzhen, jumped down from the eaves, and asked.

Chu Xunzhen shook his head, his gaze falling on Nangong Yue, and said, "Want to go see a good show?"

Nangong Yue's eyebrows curved into a smile as she said, "Sister, how could I refuse such a kind invitation?"

Chu Xunzhen brought Nangong Yue to Luoxia Garden.

Luoxia Garden was originally where Li Yi lived.

Now that the mistress of the Marquis's mansion is no longer here, the space is empty.

Chu Zhanpeng's angry roar rang out.

"Rou'er, that's your third brother. How could you do such a thing with him?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanrou said, "Father, I don't want to either, but if I don't find someone to have sex with now, my luck will be damaged, and I'm afraid I won't be able to maintain my reputation as a lucky star."

Chu Zhanpeng's expression changed, and he said, "Is that so? But you can't go to your own third brother. Even if Xuan'er's birth mother is different from yours, he is still your own brother."

Chu Wanrou's eyes reddened: "Father, I didn't want to either. It was Third Brother who grabbed me and wouldn't let me leave. I'm not as strong as him to begin with, and besides, he's been seriously injured recently. If I break free, he'll definitely think I despise him."

Standing to the side, Chu Mingyuan sneered, "What a joke! You clearly went to his room on purpose to seduce him. You already tried to seduce me once tonight. I didn't fall for it, so you went to seduce Third Brother. Father, Rou'er is actually absorbing our good fortune to maintain her own luck. Such a terrifying person must not be allowed to remain in the Marquis's mansion."

Chu Zhanpeng's face darkened. He said, "Rou'er, you can use anyone in the manor to maintain your fortune, but you can't choose your own brothers. Do you understand?"

Chu Wanrou lowered her eyes, a hint of disdain flashing in them.

If they were her biological brothers, she naturally wouldn't, but these three men were clearly her half-brothers.

She has no connection with them, and even if they did, so what?

Chu Xunzhen listened outside, watched Chu Wanrou leave, and quietly followed behind her.

Chu Wanrou grumbled and cursed all the way.

"Damn it, who ruined my plans? Who was it? Don't let me find out I killed her."

Under the moonlight, the skin on Chu Wanrou's hands appeared even drier and more wrinkled.

Her movements became increasingly slow, and her back began to hunch.

"Damn it!"

Chu Wanrou cursed angrily, and suddenly, a snoring sound rang out from afar.

Chu Wanrou glanced at it, then staggered forward.

She was going to find Chu Mingli.

Although she was no longer a virgin, she still needed to look certain to be able to sleep.

Not far behind, Chu Xunzhen smiled and whispered a few words in Nangong Yue's ear.

Nangong Yue gave Anshun, who was following behind her, a look and whispered a few words in his ear. Anshun grinned, nodded, and left.

Just as they were about to reach Fangfei Courtyard where Chu Mingli was, a strange smell suddenly wafted over.

"Second Miss, what are you doing here all alone so late at night? Are you too tired to walk? Let me help you."

Under the moonlight, Manuchai Er, with his scraggly beard, grinned, revealing a mouthful of large, yellow teeth. Between those yellow teeth were a few strands of meat and a piece of vegetable.

His eyes gleamed with laughter, like a hungry wolf, and he quickly helped Chu Wanrou up.

"Get away from me! You lowly slave!"

Chu Wanrou covered her nose, waved her hand with difficulty, and shouted.

Chai Er's expression suddenly changed, revealing a fierce look.

"In the Second Miss's eyes, we are lowly slaves. If that's the case, then let the Second Miss experience what it's like to be a lowly slave."

Chai Er picked up Chu Wanrou and carried her towards the stable.

Before long, indescribable decadent music filled the stable.

In her past life, before marrying Gu Changfeng, Chu Wanrou plotted against this stable boy to molest her, and now she has finally gotten her revenge.

Behind her, Nangong Yue leaned closer to Chu Xunzhen, grabbed her hand, and said, "Sister, if you want her to die, Yue can do it for you. Why go through all this trouble?"
