Chu Ci returned to his own courtyard, his whole body filled with anger. When Chunhua saw her master like this, she knew that she had been offended in the main courtyard.

She followed quietly behind, not daring to say a word, like a frightened little quail.

Chu Ci found a chair and sat down. Seeing Chunhua's frightened look, he felt distressed.

She instantly suppressed her anger and smiled soothingly, "It's okay, we just need to live our own lives."

"I have something else to do. Please help me pass a message somewhere. Be careful and don't get discovered."

The day came when Chu Xiao got married.

Chu Ci got up early, dressed up carefully, looked at the time outside, and smiled at Chunhua, "It's almost time, I'll take you to see a big show."

The two of them got ready and arrived at the hall, where they saw that everyone else was already there, all surrounding one person, Chu Xiao.

She was wearing a crimson wedding dress, and didn't she look so beautiful? It was true that red was the kingly way, and the main wife was the foundation.

No matter how equal a wife is, she is still a concubine.

Chu Ci walked up to the crowd, bowed briefly, and stood aside.

Pingyang Hou glanced at his daughter and started to leave with everyone, "Let's go, it's almost time, we will go first, and when we see that it's almost time to send the dowry, we can ask the housekeeper to send it.

Mu Qiran glanced at the dowry outside and just smiled faintly, but there was endless sadness in this smile.

The dowry of her, the principal wife, was not as much as that of a concubine. Not only that, even the things inside were not of the same quality.

Chunhua looked at her master worriedly, and Chuci shook his head to indicate that everything was fine.

When they arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, just as the group was about to go in, they heard a woman's voice.

"Wait a moment!"

Chu Ci looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman with a slightly bulging belly. She looked like a charming woman with the gentleness and elegance of a mature woman.

She should be the legendary Mei Niang.

Now that people are here, the show is about to begin!

Chu Ci looked at the gatekeeper's shocked expression, and then he ran away in a daze. She believed that Prince Rong would be here soon.

She looked into the yard, and there was not even the most basic attire inside. It seemed that the title of "equal wife" was just a nice name, and her status was probably not much higher than that of a concubine.

Chu Xiao lifted her headscarf slightly and saw Mei Niang standing not far from her, "Mei Niang?"

Mei Niang glanced at Chu Xiao without saying anything, but just looked towards the yard with eager eyes. She came here today just to make trouble at the wedding.

Someone sent her a message, saying that if she wanted to enter the Duke's Mansion, this was her only chance, and she would help her.

Mei Niang heard someone calling her name, looked over, and frowned. The bride's figure looked so familiar.

"What's the matter, Mei Niang? After just a few days, you can't recognize my voice anymore? You're such a lowly creature, what are you doing here on such a day?"

Mei Niang asked the doubts in her heart, "You are Chu Xiao? It's actually you? You are going to marry into the Duke's Mansion? But the color of your wedding dress? You are not the wife? It turns out you are a concubine."

The last sentence hit Chu Xiao's sore spot. She pulled off the headscarf on her head and was about to slap Mei Niang in the face.

Unexpectedly, Mei Niang stood straight and pushed her belly forward, "Miss Chu, I am pregnant now. Yu Lang said that he would take me to the Duke's Mansion."

"If you dare to touch me, Yulang will not let you go. By the way, I remember your child was two months old at the time. If you calculate it, the child in your belly will call the child in my belly brother?"

Chu Xiao broke free from the Marquis's hand and slapped her hard. Chu Ci, standing aside, could almost hear the sound of Chu Xiao gnashing her teeth.

Mei Niang fell to the ground, looking at the red in the yard. She sobbed and complained about Chu Xiao's cruelty, "Miss Chu, my belly is so big, and you dared to do such a cruel thing at the door of the Marquis' Mansion. My stomach hurts so much!"

She scratched the side of her thigh with her other fingernail, and soon bright red blood began to flow out.

When Rong Ziyu ran to the door, he saw Mei Niang sitting on the ground with her belly bulging and crying. On the contrary, Chu Xiao was surrounded by her family and was being cared for.

He ran straight to Mei Niang and held her in his arms, "Mei Niang, Mei Niang, how are you?"

Mei Niang touched her belly and looked like she was dying, but she still managed to speak softly, "I just came to see Yu Lang and say congratulations to him in person."

She reached out and stroked Rong Ziyu's handsome face, "Yulang, I'm fine. Please take Miss Chu in quickly. Don't blame anyone. I fell down by myself." After saying that, she put her hand down and fainted.

"Mei Niang." Rong Ziyu called for a long time, but the person in his arms did not respond.

Prince Rong anxiously picked the person up and looked at Chu Xiao deeply, "You are so vicious."

Prince Rong was about to leave with the person in his arms when Chu Ci pointed to where Mei Niang had been. "There's blood. There's blood on the ground, and there's blood on her skirt too."

When Prince Rong heard this, his face changed instantly. He looked at Chu Xiao with gritted teeth and said, "This matter will not be let go like this." He ran in with the person in his arms, calling loudly for the court doctor as he ran.

Everyone's expressions became increasingly ugly.

Chu Xiao looked at her hand and couldn't believe when her slap became so powerful.

"Okay, let's go in first!" Pingyang Hou glanced at Chu Xiao and interrupted her imagination.

After everyone went in, Chu Ci was left at the end, looking at their backs and sneering.

They seem to have forgotten one very important thing.

After everyone had gone in, they went straight to the bridal chamber.

Chu Xiao hugged Madam Hou's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mother, you must make the decision for me today."

Madam Hou patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Xiao'er, you must endure this wedding, otherwise it will be difficult to have a next time."

Chu Xiao lay in the Marquis's wife's arms and cried. Why did it turn out like this?

Chu Ci looked outside and saw the flowers in full bloom. He felt inexplicably happy.

At this moment, Du Juan ran in from outside in a panic, "Master, something happened! There's bad news from the front yard!"

"It's said that Mei Niang, who the Crown Prince just brought in, has been taken in as a concubine. The most important thing is that the baby in her belly just had a miscarriage and she almost died. It's said that now she can only lie in bed to take care of the baby."

"I heard that the master had an argument with the prince after inquiring about it, and he has already returned home!"

Chu Xiao was dumbfounded. She looked at her mother, who held her hand tightly. "Mom, what should we do next?"

Then another maid came over and stood aside, looking at the people of the Chu family in a domineering manner, "Mrs. Chu, please come with me. My wife said that the young lady of the Chu family is too prone to causing trouble. She is not worthy of the position of a co-wife. The position of a concubine is already the highest position she can hold."
