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

Chu Xunzhen nodded and said, "Of course. If the Pavilion Master needs a Gu poison pill with side effects, you can also ask me, the Princess Consort, to refine it. However, the price will not be so cheap."

Jun Wancai smiled with satisfaction.

He got it.

At this moment, the little bear was also brought over by the people from the Treasure Pavilion.

Chu Xunzhen carefully took the teddy bear, a smile spreading across her face.

Placing his hand on the fluffy bear and feeling its soft fur, Chu Xunzhen smiled: "The Pavilion Master has taken very good care of the bear."

The little bear was still chubby, and Chu Xunzhen finally felt relieved.

"Of course. This is a lucky bear." Jun Wancai was unusually happy and even made a joke.

Chu Xunzhen chuckled and handed him her token. "If you wish to find me in the future, you can use this token to visit the Ninth Prince's residence."

"Alright!" Jun Wancai said with a faint smile, "Ninth Princess Consort, I love money, but I acquire it in a proper way. I will definitely not let you suffer any losses."

Chu Xunzhen left with the little bear in her arms.

Half an hour later, the group began to weigh Zhao Zhi.

"I've lost weight! I've really lost weight!"

"Zhao Zhi has lost weight!"

"That's amazing! I should have volunteered to be a test subject for the drug."

.......

The six elders were even more excited, beaming with joy, and told Jun Wancai about it.

Wanda stood to the side, laughing heartily.

Qing'er and Zhao Zhi looked at him with pity.

Zheng Qingyuan was somewhat angry.

If he had known that he could earn more money in just one day than he could in three years, why wouldn't he have done it?

Damn it. It's all the Pavilion Master's fault for not explaining things clearly, and that Ninth Princess Consort is just keeping everyone in suspense.

Chu Xunzhen, carrying the little black bear, got into the carriage and arrived at the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as they got off the carriage, Big Black seemed to sense the little black bear's presence and dashed out in a flash.

Along the way, wherever Big Black went, the maids and servants all gave way, fearing that this silly bear would suddenly swallow them whole.

"Aww!"

The little black bear saw its father and let out a cute cry.

"Your bear cub is here. I'll go find your second one tomorrow."

Big Black cried.

A huge bear mouth pursed up, about to kiss Chu Xunzhen's cheek.

Chu Xunzhen rolled his eyes, pointed to an empty space, and said angrily, "How many times have I told you? You're a male bear with a wife now. You can't just kiss other females' faces, understand?"

Big Black hugged Little Black Bear, sitting there looking pitiful, curled up into a ball.

The maids and servants were astonished to see Chu Xunzhen lecturing a bear.

Fifteen minutes later, Big Black ran away looking aggrieved.

Chu Xunzhen rushed to Chen Kangnian's room.

However, as soon as she entered the room, she saw a letter and a stack of documents under the inkstone.

"My dearest Zhenzhen, by the time you receive this letter, your father will have already left the palace. I am going to Da Nan to find your mother. The Ninth Prince treats you with utmost sincerity; live well with him. Life is long, and misunderstandings and arguments are inevitable; you must communicate well. I am leaving all my assets to you. Your brother has brought glory to the country, which is my lifelong pride. He is a true man, and I believe he can earn money with his own hands. My Zhenzhen—my precious darling, all of this is left to you; you don't need to give it to your brother. Do not send anyone to look for me; I have already taken enough money and clothes to Da Nan. If I cannot find your mother, I will never return. Seeing you doing well puts my mind at ease. Do not worry."

Chu Xunzhen staggered slightly, then looked at the document under the inkstone, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Zhiyuan Study? Old Chen's Pastry Shop? Lanxin Teahouse? The contract for Chen's Clothing Shop's sixty-three branches? Zhang's Soap Shop?"

Chu Xunzhen was shocked.

She knew her family were merchants, but she never imagined they had so many businesses.

These shops are all renowned far and wide. It turns out that their parents run them behind the scenes.

Are all these shops now her property?

She remembered that her father had made her sign a transfer agreement before she was engaged to Gu Changfeng.

At the time, her father covered the contents with paper and just asked her to sign it. It turned out that her father had planned to give her everything a long time ago.

Chu Xunzhen's large tears fell onto the letter paper, which she quickly wiped away, afraid of wetting the paper with her father's ink.

"Sister, don't cry. I'm here."

Suddenly, Nangong Yue's voice came from behind him.

A warm embrace held her tightly.

"Your Highness, Father has gone to Da Nan."

Nangong Yue gently stroked Chu Xunzhen's hair with her right hand and said, "My father-in-law is a man of strong character. I believe he will definitely find my mother-in-law. I have already sent people to protect him secretly. Before he sets off, I also gave him some poison for self-defense. He will surely return safely."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen's eyes revealed gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Nangong Yue leaned down, turned her head, and gently kissed Chu Xunzhen's cheek, her tone ambiguous: "How should I thank you, hmm?"

"How would Your Highness like to thank me? Haven't you already tasted them?" Chu Xunzhen turned slightly to the side, her cheeks flushed.

Nangong Yue, however, seemed unable to get enough of looking at her, staring at her and saying, "Sister is so sweet and delicious, I can never get enough of her."

Chu Xunzhen's face turned even redder.

She's not juice.

What nonsense is Nangong Yue spouting?

Chu Xunzhen was picked up by Nangong Yue and carried to the hot spring pool in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

The two figures were faintly visible.

Chu Xunzhen's clothes were soaked in an instant.

"Your Highness, it's noon now. We can't do that."

Nangong Yue raised an eyebrow and said quietly, "What are you thinking, sister? I'm just giving you a bath to reduce your fatigue."

Chu Xun was furious and glared at him.

Nangong Yue remained unmoved; instead, the beauty mark under her eye shone even brighter.

Chu Xunzhen reached out and gently stroked the beauty mark on his cheek.

Nangong Yue's eyes darkened, and he pulled her tightly into his arms.

"Sister, I..."

Suddenly, Nangong Yue's gaze darkened as she saw the hidden guards in the shadows unleash a burst of energy towards the artificial rockery in the distance.

With a loud bang, the artificial rock shattered, revealing the figure inside.

This person turned out to be a man dressed in black.

Chu Xunzhen was so frightened that she curled up in Nangong Yue's arms and submerged herself in the hot spring.

The man in black leaped several times and scaled the outer wall of the Prince's mansion.

The prince's secret guards scaled the walls in pursuit.

A short while later, the man in black entered the dilapidated temple and hid.

Watching the pursuers leave, the man in black removed his mask, his eyes filled with intense resentment and twisted emotions.

"You shameless slut! You promiscuous slut! Chu Xunzhen, how dare you seduce Nangong Yue like this?"

A dense, throbbing pain welled up in Gu Changfeng's heart.

His wife from his previous life was so shy and beautiful in another man's arms.

What exactly did he miss?

However, when he thought of the method of cultivating one's fortune that Chu Wanrou had already taught him, he couldn't help but smile.

Chu Xunzhen would never have imagined that in this lifetime, Gu Changfeng would also master the method of absorbing fortune.

This time, it was precisely because of his abundant luck that he was able to successfully infiltrate the Prince's mansion and escape.

Back at the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence, Gu Changfeng looked at the beautiful and charming Chu Wanrou and felt a chill run down his spine.

If he hadn't seen her with her white hair, aged face, and utterly ugly appearance, he wouldn't have felt any aversion to her demure, delicate beauty. But he knew that Chu Wanrou's beauty was fabricated, an illusion.

"Brother Changfeng, you're back? Rou'er missed you so much." Chu Wanrou smiled with delight and was about to step forward to grab Gu Changfeng's sleeve.

Gu Changfeng subconsciously avoided Chu Wanrou's hands and asked, "Rou'er, assuming the luck you absorb exceeds Chu Xunzhen's own luck, is it possible for you to take her place as the lucky star?"

Chu Wanrou nodded and said, "Of course. And I already have a way."

"What method?"

Chu Wanrou whispered in Gu Changfeng's ear.

The more Gu Changfeng listened, the brighter his eyes became.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind them: "Have you two made up your minds? Let's go!"

Gu Changfeng was immediately startled and subconsciously turned his head, only to find it was Anshun.

"It's you? A eunuch? How dare you trespass into my Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness's residence?"

Upon hearing this, Anshun's face twisted in anger.

Since he became a top-notch imperial guard, no one has dared to directly call him a eunuch to his face for a long time.

"Men, seize this old bastard!"

At Gu Changfeng's command, the guards rushed in from all directions to protect Gu Changfeng and Chu Wanrou.

Anshun Gonggong's gaze was sharp, and he brandished his long sword.

Every swing of the sword takes a life.

Just then, the Third Prince arrived.

"Anshun! How dare you barge into the residence of an official of the imperial court? How can Ninth Brother act so ruthlessly and recklessly? Guards, arrest him!"

Anshun's expression changed, and he hurriedly jumped onto the roof, scaling walls and escaping.

If he doesn't get caught, they can say Nangong You is talking nonsense, but if he does get caught, it will be solid evidence.

Nangong You was furious, but he didn't intend to chase after them.

His gaze fell on Gu Changfeng, he waved to Chu Wanrou, and smiled.

Chu Wanrou went downstairs.

For some reason, she felt vaguely uneasy, as if she had overlooked something.

"Changfeng, I will stay here tonight to avoid trouble from your ninth brother," Nangong You said to Gu Changfeng.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will make the necessary arrangements."

Nangong You shook his head and sighed: "What a pity. If we had captured Anshun, we could have punished him, and Ninth Brother would have lost a capable person who could help him."

Night fell.

Chu Wanrou invited Gu Changfeng into her room, but Gu Changfeng's mind was filled with the alluring image of Chu Xunzhen in the hot spring.

He didn't know how someone could become so good-looking.

In her past life, she was always very slender when she was with him. But for some reason, after marrying Nangong Yue, even though her clothes covered her up completely, Gu Changfeng could still tell that Chu Xunzhen had become more plump and more charming.

Whenever Gu Changfeng thought of the beautiful Chu Xunzhen nestled shyly in Nangong Yue's arms, he felt a surge of anger welling up in his chest, and he longed to roar and vent his fury.

Lost in thought, Gu Changfeng simply abandoned Chu Wanrou and left.

Chu Wanrou sat weakly on the bed. Seeing him leave in anger, she suddenly shouted, "Gu Changfeng, how dare you treat me like this?"

Chu Wanrou was furious.

She was so sincere to Brother Changfeng, so why did he treat her like this?

Looking at the alluring little dress she was wearing, she couldn't help but shed tears of grievance.

Is this the Gu Changfeng she snatched back from Chu Xunzhen? Why didn't she just snatch Nangong Yue instead?

Suddenly, a large hand wrapped around Chu Wanrou's waist from behind.

Chu Wanrou was so frightened that she was about to scream when her mouth was covered.

A voice came from behind: "Rou'er, don't be afraid. Changfeng doesn't pity you, but I will."
