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

"No, I want the imperial physician to examine my sister first. I won't see her."

With a childish tone and a babyish voice, the Ninth Prince shook his head violently, just like a stubborn child who would not accept the advice of others.

Chu Xun was truly surprised.

It seems that the Ninth Prince's symptoms are sometimes severe and sometimes mild.

He was said to be very ill, yet he spoke with remarkable clarity and logic.

He said his illness was very minor, but he's almost nineteen now, and he still speaks with such a childish tone.

Just like his mental age can't keep up with the rate of his physical growth.

"Your Highness," Chu Wanrou bowed slightly and said, "You are of noble birth. If you are unwilling to be treated, your sister will not allow the imperial physicians to treat you."

The imperial physician couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this is a disciplinary whip. If the barbs are contaminated with something unclean, you might contract a disease or even fall into a coma. Please allow me to treat you first."

"No need. I said, sister should receive treatment first."

Ankang Gonggong was in a panic and was about to offer advice when Chu Xunzhen suddenly spoke up.

"Your Highness, please have the imperial physician examine your back. Xunzhen doesn't want you to bleed."

She was sincere, her eyes filled with worry.

Compared to the horrific wound on the Ninth Prince's back, the wound on her neck, though bluish-purple, did not require immediate treatment.

"This?" The Ninth Prince hesitated.

"Imperial Physician, please stop His Highness's bleeding first," Chu Xunzhen immediately said.

"it is good."

The old physician looked at Chu Xunzhen with satisfaction and said happily.

This little girl is nice; she has good eyesight and knows how to care for the Ninth Prince.

The imperial physicians and their entourage, along with the Ninth Prince, walked to the pavilion outside Chu Xunzhen's room. They immediately saw the messy room, with things smashed and scattered everywhere.

The imperial physician glanced at Lord Chu, who blushed deeply under his gaze.

The Ninth Prince, however, wore a frosty expression.

As for Eunuch Ankang, although he wasn't angry, his strange expression said it all.

This Marquis's mansion can't even tolerate a legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, and they're sending servants to smash up her room.

It was one thing to be dragged outside by the Ninth Prince to eavesdrop, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I realize how outrageous Granny Zhou was, vandalizing the room of a legitimate daughter like that.

Duke Ankang spoke up, saying, "The Marquis's household is in turmoil, and even the servants can deceive their master. This is truly unheard of and unseen. I will certainly report today's events to His Majesty truthfully."

What?

No.

Chu Zhanpeng was so frightened that his face turned pale.

If that's the case, he'll probably be reprimanded by His Majesty tomorrow.

"You audacious servant! How dare you humiliate the legitimate daughter like this! Guards, sell this servant!"

Chu Zhanpeng saw it very clearly.

The Ninth Prince now likes Chu Xunzhen. Even if Chu Xunzhen is a jinx, he will still dote on her and not let her suffer the slightest grievance.

Otherwise, the Ninth Prince would have to go against him.

"I'm innocent, sir! The eldest daughter is a jinx, a jinx that harms people, not this old servant!" Granny Zhou cried out in fear, her face pale.

She really panicked.

Who would have thought that a lowly hussy who came back from the countryside could actually have the Ninth Prince backing her up?

Chu Zhanpeng's face was extremely dark.

Knowing about this is one thing, but to say it in front of His Highness the Ninth Prince means he thinks the Marquis's position is too secure, right?

Chu Wanrou glanced at Chu Xunzhen, and the corners of her lips slightly lifted.

Even if His Highness believed in you at the beginning, as time goes on and he hears more of the jinx's words, he will definitely become wary.

That will be the time when you are abandoned.

"Someone, bring some lime water."

As Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, the servants looked at Li Yi and remained motionless.

Only Granny Hua quickly went and brought over a plate of lime water.

Granny Hua, dressed in a gray robe, walked up to Granny Zhou and grabbed her right hand.

With a tearing sound, the sleeve of Zhou Mama's wrist was ripped open.

"This old servant will not deceive you, I will only take a piece of your sleeve. If the lime water turns blue, you will be guilty of harming the legitimate daughter and deceiving the mistress. If the lime water does not change color, this old servant will take the punishment in your place."

Granny Hua grinned, her face full of mockery, and spoke coldly.

Although Granny Zhou was terrified, she knew this was her last chance.

If the lime water used to soak the sleeves turns blue, then it's not caused by a jinx, but by human intervention; it's because she plotted against and framed the legitimate daughter.

If the lime water doesn't change color, then she is safe.

It was just a sleeve.

Granny Zhou raised an eyebrow.

Granny Hua is really stupid, or rather, Chu Xun is really stupid.

What can be verified from a piece of clothing sleeve?

Chu Wanrou stood still, her expression unchanged, but she secretly found it amusing.

She had panicked a bit when she heard Chu Xunzhen say he was going to use lime water to verify, but now, seeing that Granny Hua only took a section of her sleeve, she really wanted to laugh.

A mere sleeve is not enough to prove anything.

The lime water certainly wouldn't change color, only because a section of the sleeve was too short; her sachet had permeated Zhou Mama's entire garment.

The sleeves were thrown into the lime water.

With a whoosh.

Dense bubbles suddenly rose from the basin, and the water seemed to boil.

Granny Zhou was frightened.

Could there really be some kind of commotion?

After a while, the water in the plate was completely dry, except for a few bubbles.

Granny Zhou laughed, and then burst into laughter.

"Look everyone, the water hasn't changed color. That young lady is a jinx, she really is a jinx!"

Granny Zhou shouted excitedly.

The second young lady had already promised her that if she succeeded, she would receive one hundred taels of silver, be freed from slavery, and leave the Marquis's mansion. If she failed, she could also receive one hundred taels of silver if she was willing to die.

Chu Zhanpeng's expression changed drastically, and his gaze towards Chu Xunzhen was filled with apprehension and fear.

At the same time, he subconsciously looked at the Ninth Prince.

Now that things have come to this, will His Highness still like this rebellious daughter?

Li Yi trembled, her finger pointing shakily at Chu Xunzhen.

Chu Xunzhen.

It's all Chu Xunzhen's fault.

She angered the Ninth Prince, making her husband dislike her even more. It's all this rebellious woman's fault.

She lost so much face in front of everyone today, and it's all her fault.

"If only I hadn't given birth to you, no, I should say I never gave birth to you at all, how wonderful that would have been."

Li Yi's voice was filled with deep regret and disgust.

There was no anger in those words, only disgust and loathing.

Even so, the chill in those words was like frost in June, freezing people's hearts.

Nangong Yue suddenly paused and lowered her head.

His right index finger trembled slightly, almost unable to hold back.

I really want to kill her.

How dare this woman belittle her like this? Who gave her permission to despise his treasure like this?

Those childlike eyes, as if stimulated, suddenly turned sharp.

Li Yi suddenly felt a suffocating chill emanating from Nangong Yue.

Her face showed a blank expression.

How could a foolish Ninth Prince exude such a terrifying aura?

How is that possible?

"The lime water has changed color."

Suddenly, a joyful voice rang out.
