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

With a snap, Chu Xunzhen slammed the memorial on the table and gave a cold laugh: "Grandfather used my position as a county princess to exchange for my brother's position as the Marquis of Xiaoyao. He really thought things through carefully."

Chu Xunzhen emphasized the words "deep thought and careful consideration".

Chu Tianxiong was also somewhat taken aback.

He was certain that Chu Xunzhen was the same as before, but he never expected that she would dare to open his memorial to His Majesty.

"How dare you peek at the memorials?" Chu Tianxiong's face was grim.

I felt that at my age, I had completely lost face.

Chu Xunzhen suddenly laughed, picked up the memorial on the table again, and tore it to shreds: "Peeping? Grandfather, I was looking at it openly and honestly in front of you."

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Old Master Chu roared at Chu Xunzhen, while Ah Lin behind him was already numb.

This is such a wonderful granddaughter, how could the old man treat her like this? If she were his own granddaughter, he would cherish her dearly, how could he treat her like this?

Chu Xunzhen stood up, paused, and said to Chu Tianxiong, "I'm leaving not because you told me to get lost, but because I want to leave."

Chu Tianxiong was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Six guards immediately rushed forward to protect Chu Xunzhen, their eyes radiating a chilling and murderous aura.

Upon seeing this, Old Master Chu felt a wave of dizziness and collapsed to the ground.

"grandfather!"

"father!"

Everyone gasped in surprise and immediately helped Old Master Chu up.

Chu Xunzhen heard the exclamations behind her, but did not turn around. Instead, she left Tinglan Courtyard directly.

The autumn wind was chilly, and withered flowers and leaves danced in the wind, just like Chu Xunzhen's heart, which had turned completely cold.

Her grandfather was no longer the kind grandfather he used to be; he was now the grandfather of the young master of the Chu family.

Chunxi looked at the girl walking ahead, tears of heartache streaming down her face: "Miss, they've gone too far. Chu Wanrou brought this on herself, causing the young master to become crippled. What does it have to do with you?"

"Of course, there is some connection."

Chu Xunzhen smiled.

The doctor from the Gao family was one of her people.

Chu Xunzhen was unwilling to harm others voluntarily, but she was also unwilling to easily let go of those who had harmed her.

She secretly sent a message to the physician of the Gao family, telling him to come later and not to treat Chu Mingyuan so quickly.

Hearing Chu Mingyuan's painful cries, she felt a sense of relief.

In her past life, she stopped him from entering the fire to save people, thus protecting his future, but in return, she received his dissatisfaction and a beating. So in this life, she will grant his wish and let him do as he pleases.

Back at Chrysanthemum Garden, after taking a bath, Chu Xunzhen lay relaxed and contentedly on the couch.

"This is life."

The chirping of sparrows woke her up in the early morning.

She slept soundly all night. Although there were many things to do at the Marquis's residence yesterday, it did not affect her at all.

An enticing fragrance wafted into the air.

"Chunxi, did you make breakfast?"

Chu Xunzhen sat on the bed, stretched, and asked.

Chunxi hurried over, her face flushed, and shook her head, saying, "It's breakfast that His Highness ordered to be sent over, and it smells delicious."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xun was somewhat surprised.

In her past life, Gu Changfeng would have been lucky to even bring her a hair, let alone breakfast.

Everything she received were old items that Chu Wanrou no longer wanted.

In this life, Nangong Yue is so good to her.

After washing up, Chu Xunzhen was stunned when she saw the sumptuous breakfast on the table.

It wasn't because it smelled so good, but because the steaming congee with preserved egg and lean pork, the steamed shrimp dumplings—all her favorites—were on the table, along with steamed dishes, chicken feet, spare ribs...

Nangong Yue was incredibly meticulous.

"Chunxi, call Granny Hua and Huangying over, let's eat together."

Chu Xunzhen spoke up.

"No, no, Miss, this is His Highness's kind gift, please enjoy it." Chunxi said, and ran off in a flash.

Chu Xunzhen was taken aback, then chuckled inwardly, "This girl. Someone, pack up the breakfast here and send it to the servants' quarters."

"Yes, miss." The young maid looked at Chu Xunzhen gratefully upon hearing this. The young lady is truly beautiful inside and out.

After finishing her breakfast, she ordered someone to deliver an invitation to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

She planned to ask the imperial advisor tomorrow why he had harmed her like this.

"Chunxi, let's go shopping today. Let's call Granny Hua."

"Okay!" Chunxi was so excited she almost jumped up and down, and hurriedly prepared to go out.

As soon as the three of them stepped out of the Chrysanthemum Garden, Chu Xunzhen saw Pei Changqing waiting outside the courtyard.

He was dressed in a sky-blue long gown and was quite dignified.

Chu Xunzhen didn't look to the side and walked straight past him.

"Greetings, County Princess."

Pei Changqing bowed deeply and said.

Chu Xunzhen paused, turned around, and asked, "What is it?"

"Please grant me the diagram of the Minor Looming Array, Princess. I am willing to exchange it for thirty Vitality Pills."

The Vitality Pill is a secret medicine of the Heavenly Sect, quite precious, and can prolong a person's life.

"Not interested."

As Chu Xunzhen was about to leave, Pei Changqing's expression changed, and he immediately stood up and blocked her way.

What I saw was that round, plump shape.

This is way bigger than my junior sister's, isn't it?

"How about this? If I can find the sect leader to treat Chu Mingyuan, you'll give me a minor illusion array, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen laughed: "He's worthless to me. If you want the minor illusion array, then call me 'Master,' how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Changqing's expression changed slightly, and he immediately took a step back.

How could you do this?

"Of course, because this formation does not belong to me."

Chu Xunzhen strode away, and Pei Changqing pondered for a long time before finally understanding Chu Xunzhen's meaning.

It's obvious they don't want to give him the formation.

However, this formation was originally unique to the Gu Sect and was a closely guarded secret. If she were to teach it to him, he would have to be wary of any imposters.

Chu Xunzhen stopped in his tracks as he passed Tinglan Courtyard.

She heard Chu Wanrou and Chu Mingyuan chatting happily inside the room.

"Young Master is truly good to Chu Wanrou. Even after being harmed by her, he can still communicate with her so calmly." Granny Hua, walking behind Chu Xunzhen, couldn't understand and was somewhat moved.

Chunxi was furious and said, "Granny, you don't know how outrageous they are. They actually want to steal the county princess's position from the young lady."

"It's alright. They can't take this county magistrate's position away from us."

Chu Xunzhen chuckled softly, put on her veil, and left the mansion.

Nangong Yue gave her so many gifts, what should she give in return?

Chu Xunzhen decided to go to Wanbaoge for a visit.

But as soon as she stepped into Wanbaoge, she saw someone she never wanted to see again.

This person was none other than Gu Changfeng.

He was dressed in a black robe with gold trim, and his appearance was dignified. His long hair was neatly combed, and he was completely different from the sour and smelly Gu Changfeng I had seen a few days ago.

"Chu Xunzhen, you actually came to find me on purpose? Could it be that you were deliberately trying to find out my whereabouts? I didn't expect you to be so enamored with me that you chased after me the moment I stepped out the door."

Gu Changfeng smiled smugly and deliberately spoke loudly.

All eyes turned to them, their eyes gleaming with gossip.

Chunxi blushed with anger and was about to tell him to stop daydreaming when Granny Hua stopped her.

Chu Xunzhen covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes filled with disdain, and said, "Gu Changfeng, what do I, the county princess, have to admire about you, a fallen prince? I still remember your sour smell from before."

She didn't understand. She had already made him kneel down, so how could he still be so confident that she loved him?

Gu Changfeng, far from being angry, gave a deep smile: "Although I am not the heir apparent, I am now a marquis. Chu Xunzhen, don't even think about getting your remaining 60,000 taels of silver back. His Majesty has already decreed that Yun Rou'er will marry me on the first day of next month. By the way, the Ninth Prince has been rejected by His Majesty and given a hundred lashes; he's on the verge of death. You probably didn't know that, did you?"
