Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 255

The Changguo Duke's Mansion.

Ever since Chu Tianming returned from the Northwest, having lost an arm and returned in disgrace, the entire Chu family has been shrouded in a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

In the courtyard, Chu Tianming was awkwardly practicing swordsmanship with his left hand.

His right arm was completely severed in the battle, beyond saving; once severed, it was gone.

Having been right-handed for so many years, he was finding it very difficult to adapt to suddenly having to use his left hand, resulting in his swordsmanship becoming increasingly erratic. Furthermore, with only one arm, he struggled to maintain balance, making large movements even more clumsy.

Chu Tianming twirled his sword and landed, but he couldn't keep his balance for a moment.

He staggered for a moment, and it took him a while to straighten up.

Looking at the spot where his right arm had once been, and then at his left hand holding the sword stiffly, he subconsciously gripped the hilt tightly until his knuckles turned white.

People outside are saying that the two gems of Kyoto are a pity, one with both legs disabled and the other with only one arm.

Chu Tianming thought that just a few months ago, he had publicly mocked Shen Jingyang's disabled legs, and now, not long after, he himself had become a one-armed cripple.

In front of Shen Jingyang, he no longer had any sense of superiority.

"Damn it! They all deserve to die!..."

Chu Tianming fiercely swung his sword, slashing heavily at the artificial hill beside him, sending sparks flying.

As a result, because he used the wrong force with his left hand, the sword was broken, and the web between his thumb and forefinger was also cracked and bleeding.

"Your Majesty!"

A gasp came from behind.

Wei Yunluo came over to bring tea to Chu Tianming. She saw that the long sword in Chu Tianming's hand had fallen to the ground and that his hand was bleeding. Thinking that something had happened to him, she quickly came over to help him up.

However, her attentive gesture clearly touched a nerve with Chu Tianming.

With nowhere to vent his anger, Chu Tianming raised his hand and slapped Wei Yunluo hard, knocking her to the ground.

He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Why should I need your help! It's not like my legs are crippled and I can't stand up or walk!"

Wei Yunluo's ears were ringing from the blow, her vision went black, and she covered her face, feeling her cheeks burning and swelling rapidly. Her entire face was in excruciating pain, almost to the point of numbness.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly; she wanted to cry but dared not.

In the past few months, Chu Tianming went to the battlefield, while she served her parents-in-law in the Changguo Duke's Mansion, suffering all kinds of grievances.

She and Chu Tianming only spent two short days together, but the Duchess of Changguo insisted that she must get pregnant. If she didn't, she would humiliate and belittle her in various ways, and speak coldly to her.

As the saying goes, no one in the entire Changguo Duke's mansion respected her. Even a random maid could give her a hard time.

She was indeed in a vulnerable position and dared not do anything, so she could only swallow her anger and endure it.

They finally waited for Chu Tianming to return, only to find that he had not only been defeated but had also lost his right arm.

As a result, Chu Tianming's temper became extremely irritable and terrifying. No matter how gentle and considerate she tried to please him, all she received in return was his violent treatment.

Wei Yunluo gritted her teeth, held back her tears, struggled to get up, and tried to step aside.
