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

Chu Xunzhen looked in the direction Chu Wanrou was pointing.

Dozens of servants and maids were carrying the dowry that Gu Changfeng had prepared for Chu Wanrou.

"Sister, I know you must be very angry today. But I have no choice. I already told the young master to prepare less, that we didn't need so many betrothal gifts. But the young master said that I deserve the best in the world."

As Chu Wanrou finished speaking, her gaze fell on Chu Xunzhen's face.

What she regretted was that she never saw Chu Xunzhen looking heartbroken.

Chu Xunzhen was too lazy to waste words with her and turned to leave.

She still needs to buy medicine.

But to everyone's surprise, Chu Wanrou and her servants and maids stood directly in front of her.

"No, sister, I won't do it again! I won't try to take the prince from you anymore, ah..."

Chu Wanrou stumbled and fell to the ground.

Behind her, Gu Changfeng quickly came over and helped her up.

"Chu Xunzhen, why did you do this to Rou'er? I thought you were just being difficult because you didn't want to be a concubine, but I never imagined you would actually try to hurt Rou'er."

At this moment, Gu Changfeng was extremely relieved.

If he hadn't come back to tell Rou'er something, he wouldn't have seen this scene.

"Your Highness, it has nothing to do with my sister. I was careless and fell down."

Chu Wanrou's eyes were glistening with tears, her body so delicate and frail that she was practically leaning on Gu Changfeng.

Looking at Gu Changfeng, Chu Xunzhen originally wanted to leave immediately.

She had no interest in being a part of their love story.

But since Chu Wanrou said that she did it, then she would do it.

Chu Xunzhen grabbed Chu Wanrou's arm and pulled her over.

Gu Changfeng was stunned. After realizing what was happening, he immediately retorted angrily, "What are you still doing?"

"Spring joy, water."

"Yes." Chunxi brought over a basin of water.

Chu Xunzhen smiled slightly and said to Chu Wanrou, "I didn't harm you just now. Now, I'm the one who's truly harming you."

Chu Xunzhen flung Chu Wanrou to the ground.

"Ah! You pushed me, Chu Xunzhen?"

Chu Wanrou was filled with shock and anger.

She could frame Chu Xunzhen, but Chu Xunzhen actually dared to treat her like this?

"Why wouldn't you dare?" Chu Xunzhen grabbed Chu Wanrou's collar and, through her veil, thrust her arms left and right.

"Let go! Chu Xunzhen."

Gu Changfeng was stunned and it took him a long time to react.

Is this still the same steady and dignified wife he knew in his previous life, who would rather talk than lay a hand on anyone?

How did you become so shrewish?

Rip! Chu Wanrou's veil was torn to shreds by Chu Xunzhen.

A basin of water was splashed over.

Chu Wanrou's makeup was ruined by the water, and the powder dripped down her face, revealing her true skin that had been covered up.

Gu Changfeng stared wide-eyed at Chu Wanrou's face.

He had noticed something moving on Wanrou's face earlier.

At the time, he thought it was the wind blowing, but now that he looks closely, it's not the wind at all, it's clearly an insect.

Wanrou's face was covered in pustules and worms.

"Rou'er, what happened to your face?"

Gu Changfeng couldn't believe it and stammered.

"what!"

Chu Wanrou was both anxious and angry.

If she had only guessed that Chu Xun was really capable before, she was now completely certain.

"It's my elder sister! She's jealous that I'm the Crown Prince's principal wife, and she's ruined me, Your Highness."

Chu Wanrou cried her heart out.

This time I really cried.

"Chu Xunzhen, how could you be so vicious? I'll find the imperial physician right now. If Rou'er's face can't be healed, I'll make you regret it."

Gu Changfeng was furious.

How could Chu Xunzhen be so unreasonable? To become his wife, she's so extreme.

Gu Changfeng helped Chu Wanrou and hurriedly left.

As she was leaving, Chu Wanrou lowered her head and smiled smugly.

The prince still loves her.

Even with her face like this, the prince still loves her.

She won this round.

If it were the Chu Xunzhen of his past life, he would probably really feel disappointed.

But the woman she is now is not the woman she was in her past life.

She smiled deeply: "Your Highness, please don't speak nonsense. It was your younger sister who bought all sorts of cheap perfumes to try and win your favor, which is why her face is so irritated. Anyway, since Your Highness likes your younger sister so much, I believe you would still like her no matter what she looks like."

"Of course. I, Gu Changfeng, am definitely not a superficial person."

Chu Xunzhen chuckled and walked out of the Marquis's mansion.

Chunxi, standing behind Chu Xunzhen, looked at her with admiration: "Miss, you're amazing! The Second Miss's face turned green just now."

As she spoke, she added angrily, "Young Master Gu has gone too far. You used to treat him so well, but now he's fallen for someone who hasn't given anything in return."

Chu Xunzhen nodded slightly and said, "It's clear that love is the most useless thing in this world. Chunxi, if you meet a man you like, I won't stop you, and I will wish you well. But you must know that spending money on yourself is better than spending money on a man."

Chunxi shook her head violently and said, "No, Miss, Chunxi wants to serve you for the rest of my life. Even if I meet someone I like, I want him to marry into my family and serve you together."

Chu Xunzhen was amused by him.

As the two entered the herbal medicine shop, they saw a young girl dressed in a pale yellow gauze dress arguing with the shopkeeper.

"I did it this way before, why can't I do it today? Are you blind, shopkeeper? Do you even recognize me?" Gu Songrong said speechlessly.

This herbal medicine shop belongs to Chu Xunzhen.

In the past, when she came here to buy medicine, she only needed to put it on the tab and didn't have to pay any money at all.

Why is she being asked to pay for it today?

Gu Songrong said, extremely annoyed.

"Miss Gu, our shop does not offer credit. We previously waived the cost of medicine out of respect for our owner. However, yesterday our owner sent word that if you wish to buy medicine, you must pay the bill, just like everyone else."

Gu Songrong was stunned.

She only received a monthly allowance of one tael of silver, while the total value of these medicinal herbs was over a thousand taels of silver.

Where is she going to find money to pay the bill?

"Are you mistaken? Open your dog eyes and look carefully. I am the future sister-in-law of your master—Chu Xunzhen. If you continue like this, I will have Chu Xunzhen fire you."

Gu Songrong looked unwell.

Gu Songrong is a well-known noblewoman in the capital. When has she ever suffered such humiliation?

The customers were whispering and pointing, and the shopkeeper frowned, unsure of what to do. After all, he couldn't afford to offend the young lady of the Marquis of Chongding's mansion.

But the next moment, his eyes lit up.

"Boss, you've arrived." The shopkeeper greeted Chu Xunzhen as if he had seen a savior.

Chu Xunzhen nodded.

Gu Songrong's cold voice rang out: "You've come at the perfect time, Chu Xunzhen. I was just about to send my maid to fetch you. The medicinal herbs I selected, you, the shopkeeper, actually refused to give them to me and still expect me to pay for them. Now, open them for me right now."

Chu Xunzhen's gaze fell on the shopkeeper, and then she looked at the medicinal herbs that Gu Songrong had selected.

"Ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, hundred-year-old ginseng, ten-year-old snow lotus... Gu Songrong, as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Chongding, what do you need so many precious medicinal herbs for?" Chu Xunzhen said coldly.

Gu Songrong was first stunned, then became angry.
