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

Chu Wanrou had no idea where Gu Changfeng got the wedding dress.

But the most famous place in the capital is the Treasure Pavilion. The wedding dress that Lady Liu brought just now is the most prized possession of the pavilion.

Nowadays, if one wants to surpass the wedding dress brought by the Ninth Prince, the only option is to have a wedding dress custom-made by the palace servants.

Chu Xunzhen never expected that Gu Changfeng would actually call out to her.

Gu Changfeng has miscalculated if he thinks he can embarrass her.

"Alright, we have nothing to do right now, Lady Liu, you should take a look too." Chu Xunzhen smiled and said to Liu San Niang, who was not far away beside him.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Liu San Niang responded respectfully, looking at the tray behind Gu Changfeng with a face full of curiosity.

Gu Changfeng said to the servant Qingsong behind him, "Bring up the wedding dress."

Qingsong caught a glimpse of the three wedding dresses behind Liu Sanniang, and his expression changed instantly. He kept winking and making faces at Gu Changfeng.

"What's going on, Qingsong? Why are you dawdling like that?"

Gu Changfeng looked at the newly recruited personal servant with dissatisfaction, and missed Tinghan even more.

If it weren't for Chu Xunzhen, he wouldn't have had to push Tinghan out to take the blame; it was all Chu Xunzhen's fault.

Thinking of this, Gu Changfeng's angry gaze fell on Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xun truly didn't know what he was thinking; otherwise, she would surely find it laughable. He himself gave up on Ting Han, and now he's blaming her, an outsider?

Qingsong blinked so hard his eyes were practically twitching, but Gu Changfeng didn't notice at all. Instead, he frowned and said coldly, "Are you blind? I told you to bring up the wedding dress, and you haven't been able to do it in ages."

All eyes were on Qingsong.

Suddenly, Qingsong felt like dying.

He had already given such clear instructions, but the Marquis still didn't understand.

"I know I was wrong. I'll bring out the wedding dress right now."

Qingsong said helplessly, while presenting the wedding dress.

Gu Changfeng picked up the wedding dress and showed it to everyone. Then, he walked affectionately to Chu Wanrou and said to her, "Rou'er, this is the wedding dress that your husband personally chose for you."

All eyes fell on the wedding dress in Gu Changfeng's hands.

The bright red wedding dress was made of plain satin. Embroidered on the dress were two mandarin ducks playing in the water.

It's an ordinary style, made of ordinary fabric, nothing special about it.

Even this rough fabric was considered rather low-class for a family like the Marquis's mansion.

Liu San Niang almost thought Gu Changfeng was joking, but seeing Gu Changfeng's arrogant appearance, she felt that he wasn't.

Chu Wanrou glanced at the wedding dress, her face turning green. She was speechless for a long time. After a while, she finally smiled insincerely at Gu Changfeng and said, "Thank you, Marquis. You've gone to a lot of trouble."

Chu Xunzhen chuckled: "Lord Gu, is this the wedding dress you wanted to present to Chu Wanrou? I'm not mistaken, am I?"

Gu Changfeng had an arrogant expression on his face.

Although Chu Xunzhen was a merchant, she hadn't been involved in the clothing business at this time in her previous life. Now that she saw the wedding dress he had prepared for Rou'er, she must be furious.

Li Yi's face darkened, and he angrily said, "Changfeng, what's going on? Even if you don't like Rou'er, you can't humiliate her to her face!"

Gu Changfeng looked completely bewildered.

When has he ever humiliated Rou'er? He cherishes Rou'er too much to bear.

Gu Changfeng asked, "Auntie, are you mistaken? I came today to deliver the wedding dress; when did I humiliate Rou'er?"

Li Yi was so angry that his face turned ashen.

If it were simply a matter of giving Rou'er a wedding dress, it wouldn't be an insult to her. But now it's being compared to Chu Xunzhen.

Nangong Yue spoke up: "Anshun, assist Lady Liu in displaying the wedding dress that His Highness is giving to the eldest daughter."

"Yes."

Liu San Niang responded, and solemnly picked up the wedding dress that Chu Xunzhen had chosen earlier and showed it to her.

A noble, dignified, and elegant bright red wedding dress comes into view.

Gu Changfeng's eyes widened.

He couldn't believe it and exclaimed, "Impossible! The yellow tassels are as delicate as a fairy's skirt, and the bright red wedding dress is made of the finest brocade."

"Lord Zhongyi also knows about Yun brocade?" Nangong Yue smiled slightly. "I thought you didn't recognize Yun brocade, otherwise why would you use plain red satin as your wedding dress?"

Gu Changfeng's face turned pale and then flushed.

The more arrogant they were before, the more humiliated they are now.

That was a wedding dress made of the finest brocade. How could the Ninth Prince bear to use such a fabric as Chu Xunzhen's wedding dress?

"Qingsong, why did you take the wrong wedding dress? Was this the wedding dress I instructed you to bring today?"

Gu Changfeng roared at the pine tree.

Nangong Yue raised an eyebrow, her alluring beauty mark gleaming in the sunlight, and said, "Has the Marquis of Loyalty prepared both fine and poorly made wedding gowns? Why is that? Are you perhaps marrying several women? If so, why use such bright red fabric?"

"Your Highness, the Marquis is very busy and must have taken the wrong one. I won't bother you and my sister any longer today. Rou'er will take her leave now."

After finishing her speech, Chu Wanrou bowed and turned to leave.

She really couldn't bear the shame.

"Rou'er, let me explain!"

Gu Changfeng shouted at the departing figure in the distance and chased after it.

Li Yi stared intently at Chu Xunzhen and said, "Why did you do this? Rou'er is naturally sensitive and perceptive. Now that you are the legitimate daughter, why do you still act so arrogantly in front of her? Do you enjoy hurting her that much? How could I have such a vicious and vain daughter like you?"

Chunxi felt indignant on Chu Xunzhen's behalf and looked at Chu Xunzhen with concern.

Nangong Yue spoke, her tone indifferent: "Madam Hou's words are interesting. It was I, Your Highness, who had Lady Liu display her wedding dress. Does Madam Hou think I deliberately flaunted my power and intentionally harmed your lowly adopted daughter? Do you think I am vicious and vain?"

Li Yi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"This humble woman dares not. This humble woman dares not, please forgive me, Your Highness," Li Yi kowtowed abruptly.

Last time, she offended the Ninth Prince and was punished; she wouldn't dare do it again this time.

At this moment, she was filled with regret. Why did she have to go and scold that rebellious girl for no reason?

"Madam, the wedding dress I prepared for your eldest daughter is exquisite, a testament to my high regard for her, and a gesture of respect for your household. Do you perhaps believe that the wedding dress I prepared for my eldest daughter should be inferior to the one prepared for my adopted daughter, that would be the proper arrangement?"

Li Yi's face was ashen, and his mind went completely blank.

Chu Zhanpeng hurried over and said to Nangong Yue, "This humble official greets Your Highness. Your Highness's arrival at the Marquis's residence is a great honor. My wife has just returned from the government office and is not quite clear-headed. Please forgive her."

Nangong Yue's expression was cold as she said, "Lord Chu, a legitimate daughter is a legitimate daughter, and an adopted daughter is an adopted daughter. I don't care what you think in private. But if you're going to be so unruly, I think the Imperial Censor would be very interested in learning about the affairs of the Marquis's family."

Chu Zhanpeng was startled, sweat beading on his forehead. He said, "Guards, confine Li Yi to the courtyard and forbid her from coming out."

Li Yi was dragged away.

Just then, the gatekeeper rushed over to report.

"It's terrible, my lord! A group of debt collectors have arrived outside."
