Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Chu Xiuxiu said awkwardly: "But she won't even see you, let alone help you to coax the emperor, what should you do?"

The queen sighed helplessly: "Yes, what should I do?"

She paced back and forth in the room, her face full of worry.

After a moment, she looked Chu Xiuxiu up and down: "Have you consummated your marriage with Zhan Yan?"

Chu Xiuxiu complained, "What marriage are you consummating? Since I arrived at the Zhan Yi Marquis's residence, I haven't spoken to him alone. He doesn't even look at me, let alone anything else!"

The Queen reached out and poked her forehead. "You're so stupid! You can't even seduce a man. If he won't see you, why don't you go find him? After all, your purpose in coming to the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion as a concubine is to gain his favor, isn't it?"

Chu Xiuxiu obviously hadn't expected the dignified queen to say such words. She blushed and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I'm a lady from a noble family. How could I act so seductively to win favor? How is that any different from the girls in the brothel?"

The Queen sneered, "Chu Xiuxiu, it's already this time, and you're still so arrogant. Do you know that if a woman wants to live well in this world, a man is her greatest support? If you can't hold Zhan Yan, how can you have dignity in front of Lin Yiwan?"

Chu Xiuxiu's eyes flashed with intense struggle. She hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Don't worry about your majesty laughing at me, I really don't know what means I can use to attract Marquis Zhan Yi. Can you, can you help me think of an idea?"

The queen lowered her head and thought. She knew Zhan Yan best. He was ruthless. If she went straight up to seduce him, it would probably backfire.

She frowned and asked, "What skills do you have?"

Chu Xiuxiu thought about it carefully before answering: "Your servant is quite good at playing the zither!"

The Queen advised, "Then choose a sad piece of music, and make sure it sounds like a plaintive song. That way, you can arouse his sympathy and pity!"

Chu Xiuxiu lowered her eyes shyly and said, "What if Marquis Zhan Yi still doesn't care?"

The Queen said with a sullen face, "Then you should keep playing until he comes to see you!"

Chu Xiuxiu had no choice but to agree and ordered someone to move her piano to the back garden closest to Zhan Yan's study.

She sat upright and played the piano, and the cold night wind made her face hurt.

After she had played for half an hour, she finally saw a figure from the study walking quickly towards her.

Her face immediately lit up with joy, and she thought that the Queen was right, Zhan Yan must have been attracted by her piano playing.

She didn't dare to think too much, and immediately played the piano more vigorously.

Zhan Yan quickly came to her and asked expressionlessly, "Why are you playing the piano so late at night? Are you disturbing my rest?"

Chu Xiuxiu mustered up the courage to speak: "My Lord, I'm feeling depressed. I've already married you to be your concubine, so why are you ignoring me?"

Zhan Yan replied: "Since you insisted on entering the mansion, you should have expected to be ignored!"

Chu Xiuxiu frowned and looked at him: "Marquis Zhan Yi, do you know that I am the matchmaker of the Queen? You treat me so poorly, aren't you afraid of being labeled as someone who disrespects the Queen?"

Zhan Yan spoke slowly, "How have I ever treated you badly? Since you love playing the piano so much, then play as much as you want. I'll accompany you!"

He sat on a stone bench, looking relaxed.

Chu Xiuxiu gradually felt tired, her fingers were numb, and the cold wind made her nose run.

About an hour later, she subconsciously pleaded, "My Lord, Xiuxiu is really cold and tired. Can you let me go back and rest for a while?"

Zhan Yan interrupted directly: "No, I'm not even sleepy, how can you leave? Keep playing!"

Chu Xiuxiu felt aggrieved and for a moment she failed to control her strength and ended up breaking the strings.

Blood flowed from between her nails, and the pain made her tears flow.

She cried and said, "My Lord, the zither is broken now. Will you let me continue to play it?"

Zhan Yan spoke innocently, "What are you talking about? Didn't you come here late at night to play the piano for me? Why are you accusing me of asking you to play?"

Chu Xiuxiu had a lot of grievances and felt that the Queen had really given her a bad idea.

Not only did she fail to seduce Zhan Yan, she even gave him a great opportunity to torture herself in vain.

When she returned to the room carrying the broken piano, she was shivering from the cold.

But the Queen was still anxiously asking, "How is it? Did Zhan Yan look at you differently? I just listened to your piano and thought you played really well. You've been back for so long, he must be very happy, right?"

Chu Xiuxiu felt even more aggrieved in her heart. She resented the Queen for pushing her into the fire pit of Zhan Yihou's mansion!

The rest of her life is ruined!

She gritted her teeth and said, "Empress, I am not worthy of Marquis Zhan Yi's eyes at all. You made a wrong move by asking me to compete for his favor!"

The Queen reached out and pinched her hard: "That's because you're not sincere enough. In this world, there is no man who doesn't like beautiful women, and Zhan Yan is definitely no exception!"

Chu Xiuxiu shuddered from being pinched, and she subconsciously argued: "Zhan Yihou likes colors like Lin Yiwan, how can I compete with her? I am too arrogant!"

The queen felt completely hopeless, and her hatred and dissatisfaction towards her grew stronger and stronger.

She strangled Chu Xiuxiu tightly, but she was not prepared. She actually took the broken strings and strangled her neck with force.

When the severe pain came, the queen felt a strong fear.

She slapped Chu Xiuxiu's arm hard and shook her head in horror at her.

Chu Xiuxiu was obviously terrified. She quickly let go and kowtowed in apology with an uneasy look on her face: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I just made a mistake for a moment. Please don't hold it against me!"

The queen took a quick breath, and when she calmed down, she raised her hand and slapped Chu Xiuxiu hard in the face.

She angrily yelled, "You useless dog! You're incompetent, yet you dare to strangle me with your zither strings? You're so bold!"

Chu Xiuxiu's mouth was broken from the beating, and her head was buzzing.

It was obvious that all this was arranged by the Queen, but she turned around and blamed herself for being incompetent.

And he scolded her so harshly!

Why should she?

The eccentric queen refused to give up. "Lin Yiwan has already given birth to three children. Even if her appearance remains unchanged, her body is no longer as tight and delicate as that of a young girl. How come you still can't get close to Zhan Yan? Could it be that you are a blockhead?"

A cold light suddenly flashed in Chu Xiuxiu's eyes. She was not a blockhead at all. When she was in the boudoir, she was obviously a beloved daughter of a wealthy family!

The Queen can't scold her like that!

Absolutely not!

When her mind was in a mess, Chu Xiuxiu, filled with resentment, raised her hand and grabbed the queen's hair fiercely.

She spoke word by word: "I have never been a blockhead. It's not my fault that Zhan Yan looks down on me. He is blind!"
