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

The message from the gatekeeper caused everyone's expression to change.

Chu Zhanpeng was depressed.

This is the residence of the Marquis of Ping'an, not the residence of the Marquis of Chongding.

How did we end up searching for them, and even ended up at the Marquis of Ping'an's residence?

"Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, Changfeng will go out and take a look and resolve this matter."

Li Yi, with an expression of appreciation, said, "Good."

He's truly a good son-in-law, no wonder she chose him.

Chu Zhanpeng also showed an expression of appreciation.

"Chu Xunzhen, why aren't you going out to assist the young master in calming the storm?" Chu Mingyuan said coldly.

If it weren't for Chu Xunzhen, why would the government come to cause trouble?

Today, he gave her this opportunity, which can be considered as him doing his utmost as her elder brother.

Today, Chu Xunzhen helped Gu Changfeng. If she enters the Chongding Marquis's mansion in the future, the Marquis's wife and husband will not make things too difficult for her, and the heir will also remember her kindness.

"The innocent will clear themselves. I, the Crown Prince, will handle this myself."

Gu Changfeng sneered.

Chu Xunzhen was an ignorant woman in her previous life.

Although she has not yet entered the Gu family in this life, how could a young lady from a secluded family possibly influence the thoughts of the people?

Only a top-tier general like him can handle this.

Chu Xunzhen raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly at Chu Mingyuan: "Mind your own business. Young Master Gu is so imposing, why would he need a mere young lady like me to show up and help him? Besides, Gu Songrong offended the Ninth Prince, which has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"Nonsense," Li Yi said coldly, enduring the soreness in her buttocks. "I have already investigated and found that it's all because of you. You refused to give the medicinal herbs to Matsutake, which is why she was so angry and accidentally offended the Ninth Prince. Matsutake is young, and this is only her first offense. Why are these people so fixated on this?"

Chu Xunzhen lowered her eyes and sneered: "Madam, Gu Songrong is several months older than me. If she were young, she should stay in the manor instead of wandering around begging for money."

"Chu Xunzhen!"

Gu Changfeng shouted angrily.

What does it mean to "leech off" someone?

Gu Changfeng's younger sister was exceptionally noble; in her previous life, she had married the son of the Grand Tutor and was his principal wife.

"What are you doing? I'm not deaf. Young Master Gu, you should think about how to quell the people's anger."

Chu Xunzhen smiled nonchalantly.

Gu Changfeng raised his head, his eyes filled with coldness. If he could kill, Chu Xunzhen would have been killed hundreds of times over.

He strolled leisurely to the front of the Marquis's mansion and ordered his men to open the gate.

Ting Han followed closely behind, and as he passed Chu Xunzhen, he chuckled softly at Chu Xunzhen.

Chunxi was annoyed and indignant on Chu Xunzhen's behalf, saying, "Miss, they've gone too far."

"Don't be angry, their revenge will come soon."

As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, he immediately pulled Chunxi and Granny Hua back three steps.

At the same time, with a creak, the gate of the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion was opened.

A bucket of black, golden liquid, reeking of rotten eggs, was poured over.

Gu Changfeng, standing tall and proud, along with Ting Han, Chu Mingyuan, Li Yi, and others, were all splashed with water.

"what!"

Li Yi immediately screamed in alarm.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a foul odor wafted out.

"vomit."

The lady of a noble family stumbled and fainted on the spot from the stench.

Even though Li Yi was blocking her way, Chu Wanrou, who was standing behind him, was still splashed with the golden liquid.

Her hair was covered in golden liquid, and Chu Wanrou could only smell the stench so bad that she couldn't help but vomit.

"vomit."

As she began to gag, everyone present could no longer hold back and began to vomit.

Vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes—they were all thrown at me.

"close the door!"

"Close the door now!"

"Quick! Close the door!"

Chu Zhanpeng was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly and immediately roared in anger.

Gu Changfeng raised his hands to defend himself, and soon his entire body was covered in a mixture of various colors and foul odors.

With a bang.

The gatekeeper quickly closed the door.

Everyone was so frightened that they gasped for breath and retreated repeatedly.

The entire gate of the Marquis's mansion reeked of a foul stench.

"I'm so angry!"

Chu Zhanpeng roared repeatedly, while Chunxi behind Chu Xunzhen was stunned, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! That's hilarious! Serves you right for looking down on my girl. You're so arrogant, hahaha!"

Chunxi's laughter attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone's faces turned ashen as they stared intently at Chu Xunzhen.

"Keep your people in check, Chu Xunzhen!" Gu Changfeng's voice rang out, and suddenly a stream of foul-smelling liquid dripped down his cheek and into his mouth.

Gu Changfeng couldn't help but vomit repeatedly. Even Tinghan was hunched over, vomiting continuously.

Behind the door, the voices of the common people rose: "Young Master Gu is reselling medicinal herbs and oppressing the people. He must repay the debts owed to the owner of Wanyao Pavilion. Otherwise, we will go to the Chongding Marquis's residence tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen covered half her face with a handkerchief and gave Gu Changfeng a mocking smile: "The young master's innocence is self-evident. Xunzhen has seen it all. Is this the result of the young master's self-resolved matter? It has indeed broadened Xunzhen's horizons."

"You~!"

Gu Changfeng was so excited that he fainted.

"Quickly! Take them downstairs to wash up."

After Chu Zhanpeng finished speaking, he realized that half of his body had been splashed with yellowish-black rotten egg liquid.

Suddenly, his stomach churned, and he couldn't help but dry heave onto the ground.

Granny Hua exclaimed in surprise, "Young lady, shall we leave now, lest we offend your eyes?"

Chu Xunzhen turned and left with her maids and nannies. Her back view was elegant and beautiful, which made Chu Wanrou so angry that she almost felt heartache and lung pain.

Chu Xunzhen returned to Juyuan and immediately closed the gate.

As soon as she stepped into the room, her gaze sharpened.

On the mahogany table, there was a huge mahogany box.

"Granny, open it and take a look."

"Yes, young lady."

As soon as the box was opened, a rich aroma of roasted chicken wafted out.

"Girl, there's a note inside."

Granny Hua, without looking to the side, respectfully handed the note to Chu Xunzhen.

"Miss Chu, it has been several days since we last met, and I have missed you dearly. Today, my elder brother, the Crown Prince, invited me to dine at Zuixianlou Restaurant. I found the roast chicken and eight-treasure duck, among other dishes, to be quite delicious. I would like to offer you a portion of these dishes to try."

The handwriting was crooked and messy, and below it was stamped the seal of the Ninth Prince.

Chu Xun was pleasantly surprised.

But she still gestured for the maid to inspect the vegetables.

"It's not poisonous, young lady. It's all edible."

Chu Xunzhen smiled and said, "There are many dishes here, please enjoy them with me."

"Absolutely not, young lady, how could we overstep our bounds?" Chunxi immediately said.

"It's alright. With all the masters of the Marquis's residence in such a state today, the manor will likely be quite busy for a while."

As soon as Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, everyone remembered Gu Changfeng's miserable appearance today and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Even the young master Gu has met his end. He looked down on you, and even dared to make you his concubine. This is retribution!" Chunxi laughed with satisfaction.

Steamed sea bass, roast chicken, eight-treasure duck, fried spring rolls, cumin shrimp... Granny Hua is taking out plate after plate of delicious dishes from the food box.

Suddenly, Granny Hua spoke up: "Oh? Miss, there's a note at the bottom of this food box."

Chu Xunzhen raised an eyebrow.

It's not surprising that there's a note in the food box, but what does this second note say?

Chu Xunzhen looked over curiously and said, "Granny, read it."
