Chapter 1 (1/2)

The torrential rain fell from the sky and splashed half a foot high on the bluestone road.

Thunders and strong winds rolled black clouds, as if to swallow the imperial city.

Prince Rui's residence is abandoned in the backyard somewhere.

”Chu Shi, I'll say it again. As long as you ask yourself to go down to the hall and let me straighten Xi'er, I won't pursue you no matter how vicious you have done before.”

Chu Zhi knelt in front of the Buddhist hall, lowered his eyes and closed his eyes, turning a deaf ear to Gu Changyan's persecution.

Her unassuming attitude completely angered Gu Changyan.

”How could Xi'er and I have wasted our time until now if you hadn't pretended to be me? You framed your close relatives, poisoned the common son and ignored human relations. It's the greatest kindness to you that I can save your life. I really thought I didn't dare to kill you?”

”You really don't dare.” Chu Zhi's hoarse voice rang out slowly. ”If you kill me, the whole capital will know that you poisoned the main room for a concubine. Do you have the heart to make your sweetheart a curse for thousands of people and thousands of people?”

Gu Changyan, angry with his words, broke his eyes.

He gnashed his teeth and spit out two words: ”poisonous woman!”

Chu Zhi's lips were slightly hooked, with sarcasm: ”thank you for your praise!”

”OK! You're fine! Then you'll die here!”

Gu Changyan was so angry that he brushed his sleeve and left.

Chu Zhi opened his eyes.

Ten years.

These ten years are like a nightmare for Chu Zhi.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Chu family, with supreme honor and scenery.

Unfortunately, her birth coincided with the war. Her biological mother Wu took refuge in the suburbs. She didn't want to encounter roving bandits and held her wrong with her peasant daughter.

From then on, she became a wild girl in the fallen mountains. The other party occupied her position and became the daughter of the Chu family, Chu Xi.

When she was twelve years old, the Chu family found out the truth. In order not to confuse her blood, they took Chu Zhi back and gave her the honor that her legitimate daughter should have.

Chu Xi, who should have been sent back to the farmhouse, was still left in the Chu family because of her upbringing.

Remembering what happened later, Chu Zhi closed his eyes and covered the sadness, anger and pain inside.

”Squeak --”

The door was pushed open, and the cold wind rolled in through the crack of the door with rain.

”It's said that the Lord has just come.” Chu Xi asked fiercely as soon as he entered the door, ”why don't you want to invite yourself to the hall? Look at your appearance of being neither human nor ghost, and what face do you have to stay with him. If I had killed you earlier! I dare to occupy the main room and don't let go, who gives you the courage!”

Chu Xi was dressed in a long sleeved Ru skirt with gold thread and blue flowers, which set off her beautiful face. It was like a clear lotus, but her eyes staring at Chu Zhi were full of malice.

I can't wait to get rid of it.

The more angry she was, the calmer Chu Zhi became.

”Don't worry, even if you Chu Xi dies, I Chu Zhi won't die. As long as I'm here one day, Gu Changyan won't want to straighten you up.”

”Bitch!”

Chu Xi threw it on Chu Zhi's face.

After many years of torture, the Chu branch was withered. With this slap, the Chu branch fell to the ground like autumn leaves falling out of the window.

The next second, her hair was grabbed, and Chu Xi's ugly and twisted face was magnified in front of her.

”Why? Why do you have to fight me until you die? Don't you think about it. How have you ever defeated me over the years? After all your efforts for so many years, you haven't made a wedding dress for me in the end. What if you have noble blood? Today you're not kneeling in front of me. What you care about, like and want are all taken away by me.” Chu Xi's insidious voice, like a poisoned ice blade, stabbed Chu Zhi's heart, ”including Gu Changyan!”

”Do you think I still care about him?” Chu Zhi gasped. ”I just don't want to fulfill your wish. You want to force me to death. I'll ask Gu Changyan to straighten you up and be his serious princess. Dream!”

When Gu Changyan was seriously injured, Chu Xi saved his life. In a hurry, Gu Changyan had no time to say more and left a jade pendant.

Afterwards, Gu Changyan looked for someone in the capital to repay Chu Xi for saving her life.

Chu Xi, who mistakenly thought she had caused a great disaster, stuffed the jade pendant to Chu Zhi for self-protection and wanted to frame Chu Zhi.

Gu Changyan mistakenly thought Chu Zhi was his life-saving benefactor and married Chu Zhi as his wife.

After marriage, Gu Changyan doted on Chu Zhi in every way and became the envy of everyone in the capital.

But her happiness annoyed Chu Xi.

Especially after Chu Xi learned the real reason why Gu Changyan married Chu Zhi, she cried to Gu Changyan that Chu Zhi stole her jade pendant and married into the palace under an assumed name.

He also said intentionally or unintentionally that Chu Zhi bullied slaves and abused sisters, arrogant and vicious.

Believing it, Gu Changyan rushed back to the house and had a big quarrel with Chu Zhi.

Since then, Chu Zhi was rejected by Gu Changyan.

Ironically, Chu Zhi at that time did not understand why Gu Changyan treated himself so badly, but also eagerly made up for his mistakes and bent on saving Gu Changyan.

Chu Zhi didn't know how ridiculous he was until the truth was revealed.

Because of this, Chu Zhi will not let Chu Xi be happy.

”Chu Xi, I tell you, with me, you don't want to be Gu Changyan's princess in your life, forever!”

”Bitch!”

Chu Xi kicked Chu Zhi's stomach, and she curled up in a ball in an instant.
