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

Chu Zhanpeng exclaimed in disbelief, "How could this be?"

That day, he clearly smashed the white jade Guanyin statue. No one should have cleaned up the shards scattered all over the ground.

What's going on with this white jade Guanyin statue now placed on the table?

Li Yi was equally terrified.

She tugged at Chu Zhanpeng's sleeve and said, "My lord, didn't you already seal off the small Buddhist hall that day to prevent anyone from coming in to handle this? How come this white jade Guanyin has been stalked by someone?"

Seeing the white jade Guanyin statue covered in cracks and shedding tears of blood, the Chu family was terrified.

Chu Xunzhen leaned closer to take a look, his gaze sweeping around.

Sure enough, there were footprints on the ground.

Chu Xunzhen said slowly, "Someone came in these past few days and repaired the white jade Guanyin."

Chu Zhanpeng glared at the servants guarding the small Buddhist hall and roared, "What's going on? Didn't I say no one is allowed to enter the small Buddhist hall? Which of you has been inside?"

Chu Mingli suddenly spoke up, complaining, "So you're Third Brother's master. Do you know that Third Brother ended up like this entirely because the Ninth Princess refused to save him?"

Chunxi panicked and quickly spoke up.

"Back when the princess was still a young lady, she sent medicine to the third young master, but he didn't like it and said he wanted to wait for Rou'er's medicine."

Piaomiao chuckled: "Since you have shown disrespect to the Ninth Prince's Consort, you will no longer be my disciple."

Chu Mingxuan's face turned deathly pale.

Even when he was blind, he had never felt as desperate as he does today.

Being able to practice Gu techniques under the guidance of the Great Saintess was the thing he was most proud of in his life.

But now, his master wants to sever ties with him as master and disciple simply because he disrespected Chu Xunzhen.

How could he possibly bear that?

Why is that?

Chu Zhanpeng recalled the words that the Daoist Piaomiao had just spoken.

She said the Chu family would only get worse.

"Daoist Master, I beg you to save the Chu family! No!" Chu Zhanpeng suddenly looked at Chu Xunzhen, "Zhenzhen, please save the Chu family! Please, for the sake of how well the Chu family has treated you these past three years, providing you with food and drink, help them!"

Chu Xunzhen scoffed, "Treat me well? Provide me with food and drink? Lord Chu, since I returned to the manor, I haven't received much silver. I've been starving, either being punished with no food or forced to kneel in the ancestral hall. I'm truly delighted that the Chu family is like this now."

"Ninth Princess, let's go! We don't want to see these fools again. Deliver the reward I gave you, as well as the silver for Baiyun Temple, to Baiyun Temple, or you'll learn what I'm capable of."

Chu Xunzhen's gaze fell on the distraught Chu Zhanpeng, and she said, "My lord, why don't you go and look for Chu Wanrou? Otherwise, if Gu Changfeng kills her, you'll really have nothing left."

Chu Xunzhen took a few steps when suddenly, Li Yi's voice came from behind him: "Wait a moment."

She even ran up to Chu Xunzhen and blocked her way.
