The daughter of the Chu family could have two or even more daughters, but there could only be one marriage with Dongfang Shuo.

Chu Heyi doesn't care about Dongfang Shuo, and even hates him to the core, but how can he give up the marriage to Chu Runxue so easily?

Chu Yi chuckled, "When Runxue came, she told my father that Madam Zheng's birthday party would be in a few days, and it would be inappropriate to bring up the marriage between the two families at this time. King Cheng also doesn't have time. After Madam Zheng's birthday party, both sides can sit down and discuss it properly."

Old Madam Zheng was the mother of Concubine Zheng and the grandmother of Dongfang Shuo. She was seventy years old this year, so the Zheng family attached great importance to her. Even the emperor allowed Concubine Zheng to leave the palace that day to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

"The Zheng family's invitation has already been sent, and they specially invite your aunt to bring Runxue to attend. But Runxue said that after you get better in a few days, she will take you with her and introduce you to His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. If you think His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is a good person, this marriage is still yours, and she will never snatch it away."

Chu Heyi looked at his elder brother's expression and knew that he was extremely satisfied with Chu Runxue.

Chu Runxue, who grew up in Shengjing, and Dongfang Shuo were childhood sweethearts. But Chu Runxue could say that if Chu Heyi liked her, she would return the marriage.

How could Chu Ni be dissatisfied with such a person?

But it was Chu Runxue, who satisfied him in every way, who eventually caused him to lose both legs and then his life.

Chu Heyi felt distressed when he saw his elder brother like this.

However, wasn't she the same in her previous life? She thought Chu Runxue was a very good person.

Only now did she realize that Chu Runxue had already made plans when she was adopted into the Chu family.

She took the initiative to confess to her father, and knelt in the ancestral hall for three days to cleanse the sins of her biological father. She also used the birthday party of Old Lady Zheng as an excuse to delay the discussion between the two families on returning the marriage.

Everything was just to save her marriage with Dongfang Shuo.

Chu Runxue never thought of returning her marriage. At Madam Zheng’s birthday banquet, Dongfang Shuo and Chu Runxue ruined her reputation. Then her eldest brother lost his legs... The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion began to fall apart.

Chu Heyi's hands were tightly clasped on the edge of the bed, his bony fingers turned white, and his eyes were cold.

This time, at Madam Zheng’s birthday party, she was waiting.

Five days later in the morning.

Cui Mo, the personal maid, brought a pink dress.

"Miss, this was sent by the Madam. She said that pink looks good on you at your age. She and Miss hope that you can leave a good impression in front of Concubine Zheng."

Chu Heyi stroked her dress, which was made of the finest brocade. The light shining on it shimmered and looked very beautiful.

The fabric is good, the tailoring is excellent, and the dress is really beautiful.

Chu Heyi knew that Cui Mo did not lie and that the dress was indeed sent by the eldest lady. However, the eldest lady's behavior was instigated by Chu Runxue behind the scenes.

Chu Heyi grew up in the countryside. She has a slim figure and dark skin. Now she is only fifteen years old, and pink really suits her.

But the colorful dress only made her skin look darker, making her look more like a country girl who stole clothes worth thousands of dollars.

In her previous life, she wore this dress to attend a birthday banquet and was secretly laughed at. When Old Madam Zheng, Concubine Zheng and others saw her, they frowned and could not hide the disgust in their eyes.

Chu Heyi handed the pink dress back to Cui Mo and said, "I can't bear to wear such a beautiful dress, but I can't be disrespectful at Madam Zheng's birthday party. Go and get the red dress."

Cui Mo advised, "It is because we cannot be disrespectful at Madam Zheng's birthday banquet that the lady sent this dress. If she had worn something else, I'm afraid it would have ruined the lady's kindness and would have displeased Concubine Zheng."

Chu Heyi looked at her, his eyes seemed to contain a sharp blade.

The tone of his voice was very calm: "Cui Mo, I will ask someone to invite your brother, sister-in-law, and nephew to our house before daybreak. They should be there by the time we leave."

Cui Mo was stunned for a long time, her lips trembling, and she couldn't speak for a long time, "Chu Heyi, how could she know what I was going to do? She is just a country girl!"

Cui Mo stared at Chu Heyi blankly, unwilling to believe that this was true.

But when she met Chu Heyi's gaze, she clearly saw the fierce look in Chu Heyi's eyes.

This forced her to believe that her brother, sister-in-law and nephew were really brought home.

Cui Mo hurriedly knelt on the ground, but was stopped by Chu Heyi.

"You also need to prepare clothes for me, and do as that person tells you to do. Don't waste time."

Cui Mo’s face was pale and she was trembling all over. Chu Heyi really knew everything!

"After you leave, do whatever that person tells you to do. If he finds out, when you return to the Chu family, all you'll see is a cold corpse."

Cui Mo replied in a trembling voice: "Yes."

At this time, Aunt Rui came in from outside and said, "Miss, the eldest lady and Miss Xue came here in a carriage from the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion."

Yes, the title of marquis of the Chu family was inherited from my great-grandfather. At that time, my great-grandfather had many brothers, most of whom fought on the battlefield. In the end, only two of them survived and made meritorious contributions. The elder brother was named Marquis of Anyuan and the younger brother was named Marquis of Zhenbei. At that time, the Chu family was in its heyday.

However, later on, the men of the Chu family were stationed at the border most of the time and were involved in frequent wars. Although many sons were born, many also died, and the number of men in the Chu family gradually dwindled.

Especially now, the two sons born to my aunt both died before the age of two. The oldest child raised by her side is Chu Runxue. Apart from them, there is only a boy and a girl born to two concubines, and they are still very young.

For a wealthy family, such offspring are too few and there is no room for successor development, which gave Chu Runxue the opportunity to destroy the Chu family.

Although Chu Heyi's father had four legitimate sons, the second and third sons had died in battle, leaving only the eldest legitimate son Chu Yi and the youngest legitimate son Chu Ren. In addition, there was a concubine son Chu Lu, who was younger than Chu Heyi, and the rest were sisters.

The Anyuan Marquis Mansion and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion were built on the same piece of land. Although the brothers lived in separate mansions, there was only a back street between the two houses.

Chu Heyi took Nanny Rui and Cui Mo on the carriage, and just happened to meet Chu Runxue and his group's carriage at the gate.

After all, it was their first meeting, so both parties got off the carriage to talk.

This was the first time Chu Heyi saw Chu Runxue after his rebirth. Chu Runxue was wearing an apricot dress, with a slender waist, a graceful figure, red lips and white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows. She looked elegant with a hint of heroic spirit.

It was this heroic spirit that made Chu Heyi in his previous life have a very good impression of Chu Runxue. It was rare to find someone with heroic spirit among the girls in the boudoir, so this made Chu Runxue look full of righteousness.

"Is your health better, sister Heyi? I should have gone to visit you, but I have been kneeling in the ancestral hall these few days, atonement for my biological parents. I hope you will forgive me." Chu Runxue's eyes were full of smiles, and she looked very friendly.

Chu Heyi also smiled: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm fine now."

Chu Runxue looked at her dress carefully. The red color brightened her skin tone. She had beautiful facial features, especially her eyes, which were as bright as obsidian. Her figure was even more slender. The red dress made her look like a bright red pepper, eye-catching and lovable.

Chu Runxue asked: "Why don't you wear the dress that aunt sent you? Don't you like it?"
