Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 698

"Sister, what's wrong with Zhang Chuhuan? Why is he always causing me trouble?" Gong Shu couldn't help but ask after leaving Funing Palace.

Pei Shang couldn't understand it either.

Yun Xiyue sighed, "Isn't it obvious?"

These two are a match made in heaven, how come they're so slow to realize it?

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the matter of the letter I wrote to Pei Shang being switched?"

Murong Yu certainly remembered it, and he was even jealous because of it, and he had a lot of opinions about Pei Shang.

Pei Shang once had feelings for Yun Xiyue.

My vague liking and affection for Yun Xiyue has always been there.

But now that he has married Gong Shu, his sense of responsibility as a man has led him to choose to forget this relationship.

"That letter was actually written for Zhang Chuhuan, but Prince Rui found it. He then plotted against Zhang Chuhuan, forcing her to marry him, and also sowed discord between us, making her turn against me."

She and Zhang Chuhuan could have been friends.

But now we're drifting further and further apart.

She was completely blinded by hatred.

Pei Shang then realized that Zhang Chuhuan had a crush on him.

After Gong Shu understood what was happening, her expression turned grim.

"Cousin, I'll take Xiaoshu back first." Pei Shang was instinctively nervous, a natural-born henpecked husband.

"I have nothing to do with her, I don't know anything about her."

She only found out that her husband had been coveted by someone for so long.

Gong Shu realized that she was really too naive. Pei Shang was such a good person, there must be many women who liked him.

"I'm not angry... I'm just worried that after I have children, my body will be out of shape, and I'll look old and faded. Will you still want me then?"

Pei Shang said, "Don't think nonsense, I will not take a concubine."

I've been influenced by Murong Yu since I was a child.

Deep down, I find women troublesome.

The men in the Pei family are all quite ambitious, their minds are focused on scheming for power, not on women.

His father did not take any concubines, but he had one or two maids who served him.

The second brother also had a maidservant, but he didn't.

Because they followed Murong Yu, they all became detached from worldly desires.

......

"Huan'er."

Zhang Chuhuan lay on the bed, her face ashen. "Your Highness... I didn't use the curse." Even if she did, she couldn't admit it.

This Gu was originally intended for Gong Shu.

I never imagined it would happen to my own child.

Murong Chen said, "I believe you, but my brother does not."

"Fortunately, we have Mother. You should recover first. The child is fine. We'll find Ghost Hand to take the child back in three months."

She gave birth to a son, which the Empress Dowager greatly admired.

"I'm going to the imperial mausoleum. I'm sorry, Huan'er... I'm the one who ruined you. If I hadn't schemed against you, you wouldn't have wanted to marry me, but I really love you..."

I never expected the man to suddenly confess his love so passionately.

Zhang Chuhuan was stunned, "Your Highness..."

She hated him back then.

But what good is it if she likes Pei Shang so much?

In the end, he almost killed himself because of Gong Shu.

A man like that is not worth my affection at all.

"Yes, Huan'er, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself."

Zhang Chuhuan grabbed him, wiping away her tears, "Your Highness, don't go. I'll go to the palace to beg Yun Xiyue; she owes me a favor."

"I have a way to get you out of the imperial tombs without having to go there."

Murong Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with heartache, "But you just gave birth, and my brother said that we are not allowed to leave the manor."

"Then let my older brother come over."

Zhang Chuhuan hugged the man, "Your Highness, I was wrong in the past. From now on, you are the only one in my heart, and I will not let anyone hurt you."

Murong Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. "Fine, I won't let anyone hurt you. That woman Gong Shu has harmed you time and time again. I will make her pay the price."

Seeing how much the man cared for her, Zhang Chuhuan cried even harder.
