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

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen's eyes narrowed, and a chill emanated from him.

He wanted her money to help him get married, but she, having given him the money, could only become a concubine. Gu Changfeng's calculations were quite shrewd.

Even Granny Hua was shocked by Gu Changfeng's actions.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone with such a thick skin.

Chunxi's mouth was wide open, as if it could swallow a salted duck egg.

How could such a handsome and talented young master utter such absurd words? Is he taking advantage of the fact that the young lady doesn't have the love and care of a marquis's wife?

"No. If you want to get married, ask your mother for money." Chu Xunzhen sneered. "Of course, if you kneel on the ground and kowtow to me ten times, I might consider giving you some moral support."

Gu Changfeng's face darkened, believing Chu Xunzhen was merely stalling. He then coldly said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Give me the money!"

Chu Xunzhen sneered.

She never owed him a single penny.

It's possible that someone from the Chongding Marquis's residence owes her money.

After all, over the years, she had spent no less than 100,000 taels of silver on Gu Changfeng's younger sister, Gu Songrong. She had also spent countless sums of money and effort on Gu Changfeng's mother, the Lady of the Chongding Marquis's Mansion. Even the Marquis of Chongding had required considerable of her manpower.

She didn't owe him anything; on the contrary, his family owed her something.

Standing outside the courtyard, Tinghan, who was waiting for the young master, heard the conversation between the young master and Chu Xunzhen even though he did not enter the room.

He scoffed.

Chu Xunzhen is not only dull-witted, but also spoiled and arrogant.

Given this situation, she could only become a concubine.

Gu Changfeng glanced at Chunxi, gesturing for her to go out first.

Chu Xunzhen sneered, "Young Master, this is my private room. Your intrusion is already impolite. Now you want Chunxi to leave? What kind of logic is that? Could it be that you've changed your mind and don't want to marry Chu Wanrou anymore, and want to go back to your ex?"

Gu Changfeng's face darkened.

If these words were to get out and Rou'er heard them, wouldn't she be heartbroken?

"Chu Xunzhen, someone like you still wants to be my wife? You should know your place. In terms of skills, you are no match for Rou'er. In terms of wisdom and strategy, you are even less capable than Rou'er."

Chu Xunzhen chuckled and walked out of the room.

She had no desire to be in the same room as this man.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw the prince's personal attendant, Tinghan.

He was dressed in a dark green brocade robe, and although he was a servant, he was extremely respectable.

Upon seeing Chu Xunzhen emerge, Ting Han raised her head and stood arrogantly in place, as if she were invisible.

"Tinghan, who gave you permission to enter my courtyard? Is this how the rules of the Chongding Marquis's residence dictate that a young master can arbitrarily enter the courtyards of young women with his servants?"

Chu Xunzhen gave a cold sneer.

Tinghan was Gu Changfeng's personal attendant.

In the past, she was the one who sent out the monthly allowances on behalf of Gu Changfeng.

His clothes were made for him at her request.

But now, Ting Han's arrogant and overbearing attitude made Chu Xunzhen realize that Ting Han was just like Gu Changfeng, arrogant and disdainful of her.

Gu Changfeng came out of the side room and said, "Enough. Isn't this always how it's always been? You've never been this distant before. Even if you make a scene, it's useless. Your uncle and aunt have already agreed to let you be my concubine. No matter how much you make a scene, you can't change that fact. The reason you're acting like this now is just to try and win my favor. I've said that as long as you obediently wait to be married, once Rou'er gives birth to a legitimate son, I will definitely bring you into the manor. At that time, I can make an exception and grant you a daughter."

daughter?

How dare he even mention his daughter?

In their past life, they had a daughter.

If it weren't for the accident, this daughter would have lived on.

She only learned the truth after she died, her spirit lingering there.

Her daughter died because of his neglect.

That day, she was punished by her mother-in-law to kneel in the ancestral hall copying books and was not allowed to go out. Her daughter fell into the water by accident and developed a sudden illness. Chunxi called him again and again, asking him to go and fetch the imperial physician to treat her daughter.

But what about Gu Changfeng? He stayed in Chu Wanrou's gentle embrace, thinking his daughter was fine, and even said she was too naughty and needed to be taught a lesson.

Heaven have mercy.

What does a little girl who is just over one year old know?

That night, her obedient, soft and sweet daughter passed away.

Gu Changfeng, you damned bastard, you're destined to have no descendants.

Whoever becomes your child is doomed.

Chu Xunzhen's eyes reddened.

Tears almost welled up in my eyes.

That tiny, milky-smelling, soft figure, like a little steamed bun, is gone forever.

She was tormented by her mother-in-law to the point of being plagued by illness, and Chunxi was beaten to the point of near death.

They also lied to her, saying that their daughter had accidentally fallen into the water and died.

Ha ha......

Gu Changfeng, although you didn't directly kill your daughter, you are still one of the murderers.

Gu Changfeng's gaze fell on Chu Xunzhen.

Seeing those red, accusing eyes, he sighed.

"I know you love me deeply. But you are not fit to be my principal wife. I will try my best to persuade Rou'er to give you some dignity. Even if you become a concubine, Rou'er will treat you like a sister. Now, give me the money."

Chunxi stood behind Chu Xunzhen, so angry that she was about to curse.

Chu Xunzhen raised her hand to block her, and sneered, "If the young master doesn't have money, go ask the Lady of Chongding Marquis for it. I am not your mother, much less your godmother, and I have no obligation to give you money."

Gu Changfeng's face darkened.

"When did you become so insensible? You know the current situation of the Marquis of Chongding's mansion. Songrong has just come of age and is preparing for marriage. If you don't give me the money today, it will affect the marriage between me and Rou'er."

The reason was that they didn't have enough money for the wedding.

"The young master intends to marry Chu Wanrou. He should naturally ask Chu Wanrou for money. If he doesn't have enough money for the wedding, he should ask her for help. Why did he come to me?"

Chu Xunzhen was so angry she laughed.

This person has an incredibly thick skin.

Gu Changfeng laughed instead of getting angry: "Stop fooling around. I know you've prepared six thousand taels to give to me. Just present it directly. If you keep throwing a tantrum like this, I'll really get angry with you."

Having been reborn, he knew his time was precious.

With the memories of his previous life, he will surely be able to reach the summit even faster than in his previous life.

With Rou'er's help, he might even be able to achieve a higher level in this life than in his previous one.

Chu Xunzhen finally understood why he had come to her asking for money.

In her past life, she knew that the Chongding Marquis's mansion was struggling financially and couldn't bear to embarrass the young master. So she took out all the private savings that she and her adoptive parents had given her and gave them all to Gu Changfeng so that he could present his betrothal with dignity.

At that time, she not only gave six thousand taels of silver, but also spent more than ten thousand taels of silver to prepare jewelry, hairpins, and wedding dress.

Now, he wants to marry Chu Wanrou, and he even wants her money?

Was he stupid, or did he think she was stupid?

"Oh, right, there's also that ten thousand taels of silver. You don't need to prepare any jewelry or wedding dress for it. I'm afraid Rou'er won't like it, so give me six thousand taels today. As for the remaining ten thousand taels, you can get them back from the shop and give them to Tinghan. He will then pass them on to Rou'er so she can choose her own jewelry and wedding dress."

Gu Changfeng spoke to himself, and after he finished speaking, he reached out his hand directly to Chu Xunzhen.
