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

Uncle Lin paused, glanced at the Ninth Prince standing not far away, and fell silent.

"Your Highness is no outsider, Uncle Lin, please speak directly."

Chu Xunzhen immediately spoke.

Despite his childlike nature, the Ninth Prince repeatedly protected her.

Moreover, given the situation at the Marquis of Ping'an's residence, if someone with a purpose wanted to investigate, what couldn't they find out?

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue's gaze fell on Chu Xunzhen, a satisfied smile on her face: "Sister is so kind."

As it opened its mouth, the beauty mark under its eye seemed to come alive, radiating starlight.

After calming his inner turmoil, Chu Xunzhen looked at Uncle Lin.

"It's the eldest young master and the second young lady. The rashes on their faces haven't gone away. They keep saying it was you, eldest young lady, who caused them. They're begging the old master to do them a favor. The old master was thinking of letting them go back and get treatment first, but they're kneeling and making a scene, causing chaos in Songhe Hall. The old master is so annoyed that he sent this old servant to find you, to see if you can get rid of them?"

Nangong Yue rested her chin on her right hand, tilted her head, and asked Chu Xunzhen, "Sister, shall I arrest them all? That way, they won't bother you anymore."

He wondered if this would work out. Would his father be angry? But his sister was really important.

Since trouble has arisen, let's resolve it.

Chu Xunzhen chuckled lightly: "No need. They're nothing but clowns. Your Highness should go back and rest well, and not let such vulgar people tarnish your reputation."

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was watching, I really would like to give His Highness a medical check-up.

I wonder how Your Highness's pulse is now?

"Okay. If you ever have any trouble, remember to come to me."

As Nangong Yue spoke, she actually handed her personal jade pendant to Chu Xunzhen.

Anshun's father-in-law, who was waiting to the side, twitched at the sight.

That's the Nine-Dragon Jade Pendant that represents the Ninth Prince's status.

Each prince only has that one piece.

If Chu Xunzhen can become the Ninth Prince's principal wife in the future, then there's nothing wrong with that. But if not, what should be done with the jade pendant that was given away? After all, it was a jade pendant given to the future princess consort.

Chu Xunzhen gripped the jade pendant tightly, her eyes turning cold.

This is a jade pendant that represents His Highness's status; each member of the royal family possesses only one.

He just gave it to her like that?

"Your Highness, if you would not mind, this jade pendant is for you."

Chu Xunzhen took out a piece of jade pendant of excellent quality from his memories.

This is not the one from when I exchanged birth charts with Gu Changfeng.

This is her most important jade pendant.

According to her adoptive father, the jade pendant was found when she was an infant.

"Thank you, sister." Nangong Yue quickly took the jade pendant and stroked the character "Chu" on it, her smile becoming even more radiant.

Anshun's father-in-law was practically covering his face in embarrassment.

I'm too ashamed to look.

His ancestors, his prince.

No matter what, he is the ninth prince of the current dynasty.

Why does it look so worthless?

Chu Xunzhen went back.

Nangong Yue was about to follow, but Eunuch Anshun blocked his way, saying, "Your Highness, you've been out for too long today. If we delay any longer, people will get impatient, and that won't be good."

Upon hearing this, a hint of struggle flashed in Nangong Yue's eyes.

"But my sister is all alone. She returned to that Marquis's mansion, where so many people bullied her. How helpless and miserable she must have felt?" Nangong Yue murmured to herself.

Anshun felt a headache coming on when he heard this.

His Highness.

If you hadn't lost your memory with each episode, you would probably be the one suffering the most right now.

"Your Highness, please do not worry. You should return to the palace with the other eunuchs first. This old servant will follow Miss Chu and check the situation. If there is anyone who is truly blind to the danger, this old servant will make sure they don't see the sun rise tomorrow."

"Good, Anshun, you truly are my trusted confidant."

Nangong Yue smiled with satisfaction, left Anshun behind, and turned to leave.

Anshun immediately headed towards the Ping'an Marquis's residence.

His face was cold and stern. He only hoped that the people of the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion would not be too foolish as to mistake a pearl for a fish eye and a fake for a treasure.

The Marquis of Ping'an's residence.

Chu Xunzhen had just arrived outside Songhe Courtyard when she heard cries and wails coming from inside.

As soon as she stepped in, she saw Chu Wanrou and Chu Mingyuan kneeling on the ground.

Chu Wanrou was dressed in white, with a white veil covering her head, revealing only some soft flesh behind her ears. Her almond-shaped eyes were particularly striking, red and swollen, as if she had been bullied.

"Sister, I know you hate me. But why won't you let me go? Brother Changfeng likes me, and there's nothing I can do about it. Please let me go! If you're willing to let me go, you can choose any dowry you want from my room."

In her past life, after Gu Changfeng proposed marriage, Chu Wanrou secretly undermined Li Yi, and in the end, Li Yi took the betrothal gifts and gave them to Chu Wanrou.

What is she up to in this life?

"Rou'er, you don't need to beg her! Mingyuan only begs Grandfather to stand up for us. Chu Xunzhen, I don't know where he learned his poison skills, that he actually harmed his own family. Please punish Chu Xunzhen to uphold the family rules."

Chu Mingyuan's cold voice rang out, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey, flicking its tongue, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Chu Xunzhen smiled, about to speak, when suddenly, she was taken aback.

Logically speaking, the rash on Chu Mingyuan's face should have healed by now.

A few days ago, he touched his skin and inadvertently became tainted by the toxins of the mother Gu within her body. Although it caused redness and itching, the rash would gradually subside after three days, and by the seventh day, his skin would be even smoother than before.

However, Chu Mingyuan's face is now covered with rashes.

Some rashes are red, some are black, and some even have yellowish-white pus oozing from the center.

This was clearly more potent than the poison she had inadvertently given them before.

Chu Xunzhen sniffed, his gaze suddenly falling on Chu Wanrou's hand.

Ha! What a hypocrite! I wonder what Chu Mingyuan would think if he knew he would have recovered long ago if his dear sister hadn't poisoned him?

However, could it be that Chu Mingyuan poisoned her himself, just to harm her?

Chu Xunzhen immediately rejected this possibility.

Chu Mingyuan wouldn't be so despicable.

His dislike for her is obvious. Besides, with her flawed appearance, how could she pass the imperial examinations, enter the palace examination, and become an official?

He disliked her, but he wouldn't risk his future to harm her.

No need.

"Xunzhen, what do you say?" Old Master Chu looked very pleased, his tiger eyes shining brightly. However, his question made it difficult for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

"Naturally, he must be punished according to family rules." Chu Mingli walked in from outside and said, "Greetings, Grandfather. I believe that Chu Xunzhen's persecution of his brothers and sisters is so vicious that he must be punished according to family rules and then confined to his quarters."

Seeing Chu Mingli arrive, Old Master Chu rubbed his tired temples. He said, "You say Xun Zhen harmed people, where's the evidence?"
