Husband's Volume 001: The Concubine Provokes, Disable One of Your Hands

  Luxurious and dignified, in the new house with soft red decorations, the fragrance of purple sandalwood wafted around. In front of the red wood table, Yun Chu, slender and dressed in red, lay disheveled on the stool, a faint bloodstain visible on her forehead. Her delicate facial features were striking, but her pale complexion and vacant eyes made her look like she had lost her soul.

  The maid Xue Tao, dressed in pink, carefully wiped away the bloodstains on her forehead with a silk handkerchief, her face filled with worry and heartache, muttering to herself, full of grievances on her behalf.

  "The prince is really too detestable, on the night of his grand wedding, he didn't even stay in the main wife's chamber, how could he be so ruthless to Miss, a weak woman, and make her bleed from being beaten"

  "If it's like this, when Concubine Liu comes to pay her respects later, won't she be laughing at us?"

  Xue Tao said, with two lines of clear tears falling from the corners of her eyes, looking at the person who was still expressionless despite being worried and anxious. Her own young lady had never been very clever, and that severe illness had even damaged her brain, making her not very bright at times. If it weren't for the fact that she had been betrothed to Prince Ning since childhood, she might not have been able to live safely until now.

  Now that she had finally waited for her wedding day, she was despised and neglected by the Ning King. The proud Princess of Ning, on her grand wedding day, did not receive the king's favor, and it was said that Miss was heartbroken. How could she spend the rest of her days like this? The more she thought about it, the more tears fell like broken pearls, pattering down, and she burst into loud sobs.

  "My poor miss, why is your fate so bitter... *sigh*..."

  "Who's crying here at this early hour, how annoying!" A sharp female voice came over, Xue Tao immediately stopped crying, quickly wiping away the tears from her eyes, trying to lift up the person on the ground.

  "Miss, wake up quickly, Princess Liu has come to pay her respects. In any case, we can't let her bully you and leave." Xue Tao muttered to herself, shaking her vigorously, trying to rouse Yun Chu from her painful stupor.

  No matter how she shook her, the people on the ground didn't react at all. Xue Tao's heart skipped a beat as she realized that Yun Chu wasn't just momentarily heartbroken and had fainted. This was not good... Her mind couldn't help but become flustered. If Madame Liu saw Miss in this state, it would be even harder for her in the future.

  With a swift motion, he swept Yun Chu into his arms and onto the bed, then let down the curtains. Only then did he adjust his clothes and head out to greet the guests at the door.

  Xue Tao smiled and greeted Concubine Liu, standing upright in the doorway to block her path.

  Liu Ce Fei wore a crimson dress, her face as pale as peach blossoms, full of charm and pride that couldn't be concealed. She glanced at Xue Tao with disdain and hummed, "No need, I'm here to pay my respects to the queen."

  As she spoke, she was about to push open the door and enter Snow Peach's room.

  "Concubine, the princess is not feeling well and has ordered me to inform you that there's no need for you to pay your respects today." Xue Tao was startled and quickly steadied her footsteps, barely avoiding being pushed over. She hastily came up with an excuse.

  A loud slap, and a five-fingered red mark instantly appeared on Xue Tao's face. "What do you think you are? You dare to block the way of Her Majesty, move aside now!"

  The maid Hong Xiang beside Liu Ce Fei said with her nose up in the air, looking at Snow Peach, and slapped her. Not satisfied, she pushed Snow Peach to the ground. The two of them walked into the room, leaving Snow Peach stunned by Hong Xiang's force, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

  "Concubine, I didn't expect this foolish young lady to have such a big attitude. The prince only married her because of that marriage contract, but she actually thinks she's risen to greatness. Hong Xiang's face was full of sarcasm as she stood behind Concubine Liu, coldly mocking the person behind the veil. She thought Yun Chu would be too ashamed to show her face, so she deliberately said some sarcastic words."

  "All right, you go out first. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with my sister." Princess Liu gazed at Yun Chu's eyes behind the veil, where a hint of viciousness was visible, but her voice was as gentle as water, like a clear breeze in March.

  Hong Xiang clearly understood her master's thoughts, quickly retreating and not forgetting to 'invite' Snow Peach out as well. Once the room was left with only herself and Yun Chu, her warm and gentle face gradually darkened. She tore off the red silk scarf, her eyes fixed on Yun Chu on the bed with a venomous glare. The more she thought about it, the more she hated him. She slapped him twice, still not satisfied, and then pinched his neck, saying hatefully...

  "You say you're a fool, being the young lady of the Yun family is already cheapening yourself, yet you still dare to compete with me for Brother Rang. It's truly like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, not even taking a mirror to reflect on oneself... If it weren't for you, this position as the proper wife would have belonged to me." Even if there is a marriage certificate, what does it matter? A fool like you, how can you be worthy of Brother Rang's love? It's truly a foolish fantasy.

  "Cough...cough..." The heavy coughing sound came, and Princess Liu slowly released her hands, standing quietly in front of the bed, gritting her teeth in hatred. She really wanted to strangle Yun Chu to death right now, but she still had some sanity left. She could torture Yun Chu, but she couldn't let her die now.

  Dizzy Lin Chu had long heard these chirping voices, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wake up. This woman who wanted to kill her actually helped her out. Lin Chu opened her eyes, furrowed her brow, and shook her groggy head vigorously. The moment she opened her eyes, an unbelievable thought flashed through her mind.

  She had previously heard something about Miss Ah, Imperial Concubine Ah, and thought it was her own illusion. But what's going on with all of this in front of her? Those unscientific theories instantly flooded her mind. She clenched the hands under the quilt tightly, pinching her thigh hard to confirm that this is reality. Only then did she resignedly accept this fact. Not only had she transmigrated, but she had also fallen onto an idiot's body... Yun Chu, Lin Chu, could it really be the arrangement of heaven?

  She closed her eyes, sorting out the current situation, mixed with those unfamiliar memories in her mind. She finally figured it out roughly. Before she could speak, she heard Consort Liu say "Yun Chu, I'm warning you, if you know what's good for you, ask the king to send you back to General's residence yourself. Otherwise, I won't let you have a good day."

  Yun Chu frowned, the scorching pain on her face reminding her of those two slaps. A hint of anger flashed in her eyes as she lazily rolled her eyes and sat up straight, playing with a strand of green silk wrapped around her earlobe. She stared blankly at Liu Ce Fei, feeling contemptuous inside. Is this woman sick? If you have the ability, just firmly grasp that whatever dogshit prince's heart, what's the point of running here to threaten an idiot like me? How stupid.

  "Yun Chu, why are you staring at me? Look at yourself now, you're just like a fly." Yun Chu didn't say a word for a long time after Yu Ce Fei's words fell, instead she stared back at her with a silly expression that made Yu Ce Fei feel disgusted. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder if there was something on herself, and after checking her body all over and confirming that everything was fine, her anger grew even more intense, revealing her spoiled and arrogant face.

  "Poof" Chu Yun heard the words, suddenly covering her stomach and bursting out laughing, which made Liu Ce Fei feel inexplicably puzzled, her face turning pale one moment and flushed the next. This fool actually dared to mock herself, what was there to laugh about?

  After a long while, Yun Chu finally stopped laughing and looked at Liu Ce Fei's appearance, finding it quite ridiculous. She directly gave her a big white eye and said disdainfully, "Do you think you're feces or something? Flies will be fixated on you?"

  Liu Ce Fei heard this and suddenly understood what she was laughing at, her face immediately turned black. This fool was actually laughing at that, so humiliating to her, simply detestable. Taking a step forward, "You fool, dare to humiliate me, you're really asking for it. Now I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Far Ge."

  As soon as the words fell, a slap was thrown out, but the palm of the hand had not yet fallen.

  Her wrist was pinched in his palm, unable to move a single inch. A hint of cold light flashed at the bottom of her clear eyes, accompanied by a faint chill, and she smiled instead of getting angry: "You also dare to think about laying hands on me?"

  Liu Ce Fei's heart suddenly skipped a beat, this sentence coming from her own mouth seemed normal to her, but coming from Yun Chu's mouth, it was too abnormal. It was just a short sentence, so why did she feel like there was a veiled attack?

  Think about it, the other party is just a fool, even if they occasionally wake up, it won't change the fact that the iron is in dispute. Brother Wang's heart is on himself, what does the princess have to do with it? This position will be hers sooner or later.

  That hint of surprise had just surfaced, only to disappear far away, the gloomy face was full of complacent color "Yun Chu, you'd better weigh your own weight, yesterday the king was in my bedroom overnight, on the day of the grand wedding, the king abandoned you, this queen, and came to my bedroom, the intention is self-evident"

  Yun Chu's heart has always been on Far Brother, she didn't believe it. Yun Chu heard these words and still managed to be spirited, now she can't bear to kill Yun Chu, but if she herself was driven to death by anger, then everyone would be delighted, with an even more smug look on her face.

  "And besides, you don't have to put on any princess airs with me. You're just a fool with the title of princess. In this Ning Wang Fu, there's no place for you, and no one will listen to your orders. I've known Far Gege since we were young, and he said that in this life, he'll only love me alone. If it weren't for you butting in, I would be the Ning Wang Fei. You're just a nominal princess, and you won't last long. You'd better face reality."

  Yun Chu listened quietly, her expression unclear, as if pondering how much truth and falsehood there was in her words. This made her even more pleased with herself, as if she were the true Ning Wangfei at this moment, completely forgetting that her wrist was still being held by Yun Chu. "If you ask to leave of your own accord, I will spare your life. But if you insist on staying, don't blame me for being ruthless."

  As soon as she finished speaking, a crisp "crack" sound was heard, and Yun Chu grasped her hand, seemingly unintentionally shaking it once. Before Liu Ce Fei could react, a large swelling appeared on her wrist, and her slender wrist instantly turned purple. The piercing scream that was about to escape was blocked by Yun Chu's hand covering her mouth, leaving only tears blurring her eyes as they darted back and forth, her face filled with pain. Her earlier complacency had vanished without a trace, yet she couldn't escape Yun Chu's grip.

  Yun Chu looked at the painful Ruo's concubine Liu, her bright eyes flashing, raised an eyebrow and said "Sorry, I'm not feeling well, my hand accidentally shook a bit, hurt Concubine Liu, didn't I?"

  She paused and continued, "I don't care whose heart the king is in, even if my brain is often unclear, this nominal queen can't last for a few days, as long as Concubine Liu is clear about it." As she said this, Yun Chu's eyes had a hint of mockery, and she leaned in close to Concubine Liu's face.

  "As long as I am in this position for one day, even if I'm a fool, I am the princess of Ning Wangfu, and you, put nicely, are a side concubine, put bluntly, just a mistress. What do you have to be proud of?"

  Warning glanced at Liu Ce Fei, lifted the hem of her bright red skirt and smiled: "So, as long as I am this princess for a day, you have to be humble in front of me. With this all-red attire, you will never have the qualifications to wear it."

  Yun Chu turned around elegantly, sat down lightly on the edge of the bed, and a faint smile matched her pale face, very harmonious, without any discomfort. The noble aura was born from heaven. "For such a great disrespect today, even if you were to be killed, it would not be excessive. Now, I am only disabling one of your hands, do you think I am magnanimous?"
