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

"It's Chu Xunzhen. She actually ordered her men to strip me naked and begged the young master to do justice for me."

Han's voice sounded like she was crying.

I'm really feeling wronged.

He was still a virgin, yet he was carried around by a nanny and seen by so many women in his undergarments.

How could Chu Xunzhen be so ruthless?

Gu Changfeng's eyes flashed with disbelief.

In his previous life, Chu Xunzhen was very generous with money.

How could you be so stingy now?

Even if she can't be his legal wife, Tinghan is still his person. Did Chu Xunzhen consider Gu Changfeng's feelings and reputation when she did this?

"Chu Xunzhen is not that kind of person."

As soon as Gu Changfeng finished speaking, Tinghan almost fainted from anger.

"Young Master, Tinghan has been with you since childhood. Would she deceive you? Besides, many people saw Granny Hua throw me out. Would a mere old woman do such a thing without the master's permission?"

As Han spoke, Gu Changfeng became increasingly bewildered.

Is this still the same graceful and poised Chu Xunzhen from her previous life?

Why is she different from her previous life?

Will not.

She did it on purpose, deliberately letting him know she was angry, just so he would obediently coax her.

But who is Gu Changfeng?

If it is said that the position of the principal wife belongs to Rou'er, then it belongs to Rou'er.

Chu Xunzhen should not even think about getting her hands on him.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Tinghan. Go back and change your clothes first. You can come to the Marquis's residence to pick me up later."

"Yes."

Chu Wanrou, standing to the side, had tears in her eyes.

Gu Changfeng was startled and quickly asked, "Rou'er, what's wrong? This has nothing to do with you. It's your sister who's gone mad. Don't pay any attention to her. She's just making a scene. No matter how much she acts up, you're still my wife. I've already accepted the betrothal gifts; you can't go back on your word."

Chu Wanrou smiled through her tears: "What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve such treatment from the Prince?"

Chu Wanrou was truly moved.

She was known as a lucky star in the capital, but most people only associated with her to benefit from her fame. However, Gu Changfeng remained true to her even after learning that she was an adopted daughter of a marquis. He still loved her just as much as before.

Unlike others, who always looked at her with a hint of disdain.

"Silly girl, you are the best. I am afraid that I am not doing enough. If there is anything I have neglected, Rou'er must tell me."

Chu Wanrou nestled in Gu Changfeng's arms, laughing happily, gazing into the distance in the direction of Juyuan Garden, a hint of smugness in her eyes.

Chu Xun had no idea what the two adulterers were thinking. At that moment, she was drinking the pear soup cooked by Granny Hua and looking at the account book.

The servants responsible for counting Chu Wanrou's dowry rushed in to report as they were putting it into storage: the betrothal gifts delivered did not match the items on the betrothal gift list.

Chu Xunzhen pondered for a moment, then smiled.

"Interesting. I'll be a good person in a bit and tell my sister, who loves to show off, about this interesting thing."

Chu Xunzhen realized that he did have a rather perverse sense of humor.

However, she was willing to do anything that would upset Chu Wanrou.

Suddenly, Xiao Tao, the maid who was sweeping the floor, came to report: "Young Master has arrived."

Xiao Tao was a maid she had ordered Granny Hua to find again. As for the other maids in the courtyard, she dismissed them and sent them back to Li Yi's place.

These maids were of no use to Gu Changfeng, not even daring to stop him, and there wasn't even one to tip him off, so they were simply driven away.

Those who remain in the courtyard now are all maids found by Granny Hua.

Chu Xunzhen found it very comfortable to use.

"Chu Xunzhen, give me the antidote."

Chu Mingyuan's voice arrived before he did.

He wore a straw hat and a face mask, looking like a shady rat from a sewer.

"Young Master Chu, if you're looking for the antidote, go to the Peony Garden. I don't have your antidote here."

Chu Xunzhen leisurely admired Chu Mingyuan's current disheveled appearance.

Chu Mingyuan took a step forward, and after a few steps, said, "Chu Xunzhen, I am your elder brother. If I am disfigured and my career becomes difficult, who will you rely on?"

Chu Xunzhen raised an eyebrow.

In his past life, even before he was disfigured, wasn't he still someone she relied on?

Chu Mingyuan reached out and was about to pinch Chu Xunzhen.

The physician said that this poison is somewhat contagious.

If you lift your face mask and have close contact with the other person, you could potentially infect them.

As long as he passes it on to Chu Xunzhen, Chu Xunzhen will definitely be able to cure the poison.

Then, we can also detoxify him.

Just as he was about to lift his face mask, he suddenly saw the pear soup on the table.

The color, the aroma—isn't this the pear soup he often drinks?

"Chu Xunzhen, I was wondering why I hadn't had any pear soup for so long? So it was you who stole the pear soup Rou'er made for me? Have you no shame?"

Chu Mingyuan roared in anger.

That was Rou'er's affection for her older brother, but Chu Xunzhen claimed it as his own.

Chu Xunzhen glanced at the pear soup in the white jade bowl, lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, "This was cooked for me by the nanny. It has nothing to do with your Rou'er."

"Still dare to argue? Rou'er makes me pear soup every other day. If it weren't for the fact that you're her sister, she wouldn't give you the chance to bring the soup. Why are you so vicious, poisoning her and me?"

"Oh?"

Chu Xun was truly astonished.

I can't believe such a thing actually happened.

Could it be that Chu Mingyuan has always believed that the pear soup was made by Chu Wanrou, and that Chu Xunzhen is the one who stole Chu Wanrou's credit?

Really interesting.

"Yes. I am that vicious. So what? To be honest, you're just disfigured, what's that? You're not miserable enough."

In her past life, she was brutally beaten by her older brother. She was covered in scars, but she still cared about blood ties. What did she get in return?

Chu Mingyuan closed his eyes and laughed, "Finally stopped pretending? You bitch, you've been back for three years, causing trouble and making the manor unbearable. You stole Rou'er's credit, stole her fiancé, caused me to be slapped, poisoned me, and caused my mother to be punished, confined, and lose her management position—all of this is because of you. You bitch, why don't you just die?"

As he spoke, Chu Mingyuan suddenly ripped off the mask covering his face.

A foul stench emanated from his face, permeating the entire courtyard.

Just then, Chu Xunzhen kicked Chu Mingyuan away, and he ran right into Gu Changfeng and Chu Wanrou who were coming from the opposite direction.

"Ah!" Instantly, exclamations, screams, and sounds of retching rang out.

"Your Highness, get up quickly, you're pressing down on me there," Chu Wanrou's shy voice rang out.

"Ah, where did it land? Rou'er." Gu Changfeng looked bewildered.

Chu Mingyuan tried to stand up, but couldn't manage it for a long time, so he had to use leverage. He felt a soft, yielding sensation in his palm. He pressed down hard and seemed to feel its unparalleled elasticity.

His face suddenly turned red.

If it weren't for the rashes and pustules covering his face, anyone present would have noticed his distress.

Rubbing his hands together, savoring the feel of what he had just touched, Chu Mingyuan's expression was inscrutable.

He was not an inexperienced man; he had already had several concubines.

The thought of Rou'er's soft, yielding touch made Chu Mingyuan's cheeks burn, and his heart pounded wildly.

"Brother Mingyuan, how could you do this?"

Gu Changfeng's voice suddenly rang out, his face filled with terror, and he retreated repeatedly in fright.

Just as Chu Mingyuan was about to explain, he suddenly saw Chu Wanrou's smooth, jade-like face.

His pupils widened, and he said, "Rou'er, aren't you poisoned like your brother?"
