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

"What is it? It's late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Chu Xunzhen carefully concealed the Gu Soul Bell in her sleeve, her bloodthirsty Gu worms poised to strike. If Bing Shuang dared to barge in, she would make her taste the power of Gu poison.

Bing Shuang's voice was low and urgent: "Bing Shuang didn't mean to disturb you, young lady, but the matter is extremely urgent. If we don't save her immediately, I'm afraid the doctor's sister won't survive."

Hearing this, Chu Xunzhen's wariness did not dissipate.

The younger sister of Doctor Gao?

Yes, that was the mission she had assigned to Frost.

After a pause, Chu Xunzhen opened the door and said, "Come in and talk."

As soon as Bing Shuang entered, she immediately said, "Miss asked me to monitor the Peony Garden. Last night, I discovered that Zi Yuan from the Peony Garden had left the mansion. I followed her and found that she had tied up Gao Ling'er, the younger sister of the physician Gao, in a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city."

Chu Xunzhen's eyes lit up.

The physician of the Gao family was a medical genius. He was an upright man who had saved her from dire straits many times in her past life. It could be said that if it weren't for the physician's compassion, she, who was unable to use Gu magic on ordinary people in her past life, would have been devoured by the wolves and tigers in this mansion long ago.

Last time, when she confronted Chu Wanrou, the doctor from the Gao family didn't tell her everything, which almost harmed her. However, considering that he had saved her many times in her previous life, she wouldn't be angry with him.

This time, she will help him rescue her sister. If she can win him over completely, she will be even more powerful.

As for the oriole, although she also knows medicine, she still needs to be observed.

"You did very well." As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, Bing Shuang was taken aback, then smiled.

"This is my duty. The Second Miss was angry, saying that the physician from the Gao family hadn't cooperated with her in ruining your face. A quarter of an hour ago, she sent two servants to the dilapidated temple, saying they wanted to find someone to disfigure Gao Ling'er's face and teach her a lesson. I thought that if you hadn't returned, I would go and rescue her first. If you had returned, I would have informed you first. I just happened to see Chunxi return and knew that you hadn't fallen asleep yet, so I came over and apologized for disturbing you."

Chu Xunzhen's expression softened, and he said, "You did very well."

As expected of someone sent by the Ninth Prince.

She was very fond of this maid.

It seems that Chu Wanrou has been poisoned this time, developed a rash, and is in a bad mood, so much so that she doesn't even have the mood to wait until daytime to carry out her plan.

But who told her to be so reckless last time, daring to come and help her up?

Is her hand something that ordinary people can touch casually?

She has been making Gu poison for many years, and there is even a mother Gu living in her body, so her body surface is covered with Gu poison.

This time, let's teach her a lesson.

"Go and rescue Gao Ling'er, bring her back, and take her to the Gao family physician. While you're at it, kill the people Chu Wanrou brought and throw their bodies into her courtyard."

"Yes, young lady."

Seeing Bing Shuang's decisive and efficient manner, Chu Xunzhen chuckled and immediately closed his eyes.

Now that I have the Gu Soul Bell, tomorrow I'll buy some poison first, and then expel the Gu worms from my grandfather's body.

Otherwise, if it cannot be returned within three days, the sect leader will come to the door.

Thinking of the sect leader's mysterious and unpredictable movements and aura, Chu Xunzhen felt a chill run down his spine.

One day, she will be just as amazing as him.

After releasing some protective Gu worms around him, Chu Xunzhen fell asleep.

Unbeknownst to her, half an hour later, Bing Shuang knocked on the door of the Gao family doctor's office.

"My daughter asked me to rescue your sister and bring her to you. Please settle her in quickly. The second young lady originally wanted to disfigure her, but I have already dealt with all her people."

At first, the physician from the Gao family couldn't believe it, but then he took Gao Ling'er and wept with joy.

He bowed deeply to the frost, choking back tears, and said, "Thank you so much for saving my sister, young lady. I will definitely thank you in person another day."

What merit does he possess to have met such a wonderful young woman?

That day, he was dejected in the rain, and she held an umbrella for him.

She is such a wonderful woman.

Thinking of the hardships she endured in the mansion, Gao Mingshan couldn't help but feel pity for her.

"Ling'er, let's go to an inn for the night. Tomorrow, I'll take you back to our hometown in southern Henan."

"Okay, I don't want to stay here anymore."

Gao Ling'er almost burst into tears.

She had always been well-behaved and lived with her elder brother, Gao Mingshan. The two siblings depended on each other for survival. Unexpectedly, the second sister captured her and even sent people to beat her from time to time.

"Luckily, the young lady sent someone to rescue me, otherwise I might never have seen my brother again. Brother, there's a lot going on in high society, why don't you come back with me?"

"No, Ling'er. The young lady saved you. I can't just leave like this. I must repay this kindness."

Gao Mingshan patted Gao Ling'er's head and led her outside to find an inn.

Chu Xun was completely unaware of all of this.

She slept soundly until dawn, when suddenly, she was disturbed by a commotion.

"Chunxi, what's all this noise outside?" Chu Xunzhen sat up in bed, annoyed.

"Miss, it is..."

Chunxi hesitated, unsure how to begin.

The young lady will surely be heartbroken.

"What's wrong? Just tell me."

Chu Xun was getting a little impatient. She was so sleepy.

"It's the young master, the young master Gu. He's come to the manor with the lady of the Chongding Marquis's residence to propose marriage. Outside are Granny Li and the others. They're clamoring for you to come out and help greet them."

Chu Xunzhen regained some of her senses.

"Do you want me to receive you?"

Chu Xun was truly puzzled.

You should know that Li Yi had previously been hoping she would be confined to her quarters and stop causing trouble.

Today they even sent someone to ask her to go out and help them receive the people from the Marquis of Chongding's residence?

Although it is customary for her to be present, she would not know if they did not inform her.

Something unusual must be going on. What is Li Yi thinking?

She's not afraid; would she go out and cause trouble?

"Please, young lady, set off immediately for the front hall," Granny Li called out loudly from outside the courtyard.

In the past, she and Granny Zhou would have rushed in and dragged that little slut away.

But now, she doesn't dare.

Granny Zhou is gone.

In front of Chu Xunzhen's door, besides the tall and imposing Granny Hua, there were also two maids sent by the Ninth Prince.

The maid in yellow had a cold expression, while the maid in purple raised her long sword, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

She naturally had to behave herself and call out from outside the door.

Tell her I'm getting ready and ask her to wait.

"Yes, young lady."

Chunxi quickly went out and looked at Granny Li and the maid behind her, saying, "The young lady asked you to wait a moment."

Granny Li clasped her hands in front of her, her face showing no impatience, but rather a faint, ingratiating smile: "Alright."

Chunxi returned to the room and helped Chu Xunzhen with her hair and makeup, saying worriedly, "Miss, Young Master Gu has proposed marriage to the Second Miss. If you go out, who knows how everyone in the manor will laugh at you?"

"Fool. Don't you know how capable your girl is? Besides, she has His Highness's people protecting her now."

Chu Xunzhen chuckled.

Laugh at her? Who knows who will be laughing at her in the end?

I wonder if Chu Wanrou's face will surprise Gu Changfeng?

Fifteen minutes later.

Chu Xunzhen, along with Granny Li and the others, walked towards the front hall.

Chunxi followed behind Chu Xunzhen, her eyes filled with worry.

She made up her mind that if those people dared to mock the girl, she would definitely argue with them and protect her gentle and kind girl.

Before Chu Xunzhen even stepped inside, he could hear the laughter and chatter of the people inside.

As soon as she stepped inside, she saw a mahogany betrothal gift box laid out on the ground.

At a glance, there were forty or fifty boxes of betrothal gifts brought by the Gu family to propose marriage, filling the entire hall to the brim.

Chu Xunzhen glanced around at the seated crowd and was immediately astonished.

Chu Wanrou also came out.

Doesn't she still have a rash on her face?
