Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

"A letter of divorce? Could there be some hidden story behind this?"

"I do know that not long after Song Yanzhou returned, Fan Siying went back to her parents' home. It's said that she was kicked out by Song Ruozhen, but I don't know if it's true or not."

The crowd whispered among themselves, noting that Song Yanzhou and Fan Siying's divorce was sudden and without any prior warning.

Now that we have the opportunity to know the inside story, no one wants to miss it.

Fan Siying's expression changed slightly. She quickly thought of what evidence she had that Song Ruozhen had, but upon closer inspection, she realized that she probably didn't have any.

The IOU had already been torn up. Over the years, in order to save face, Liu Ruyan had not revealed that she had borrowed money.

Even if she were to say it now, she would have plenty of ways to deny it!

"Over the years, the Fan family has borrowed a lot of money from our family, but I won't go into details."

In order for you to stay with your older brother, your mother agreed to all your requests. But you took the opportunity to make exorbitant demands, knowing that your older brother had returned injured.

They kept using the excuse that my eldest brother had become disabled to say that the entire Song family had wronged you, and forced my mother to hand over the power to manage the household.

Your mother didn't agree, so you went back to your parents' home. The only time you came back was because Fan Xiangrong had gambling debts.

Song Ruozhen turned to look at everyone around her, "Tell me, if you were in the same position as this lady, wouldn't you all want a divorce?"

The crowd's expressions shifted repeatedly. Everyone knew that Song Yanzhou had become a cripple, and they could understand why Fan Siying was feeling bad.

However, as a wife, she dared to say that her husband was disabled and even used this to blackmail her mother-in-law. This was truly audacious!

Should a woman like that be kicked out of the house or left unattended?

A flicker of panic crossed Fan Siying's eyes; she hadn't expected Song Ruozhen to reveal all of this.

"This is all slander against me. I did not do such a thing at all!"

"It was after you broke off the engagement that your personality became increasingly difficult and harsh, constantly finding fault with me, making it impossible for me to stay, which is why I went back to my parents' home!"

"I thought Yan Zhou would come to pick me up after he woke up, but I didn't expect the whole family to protect you. I mustered up the courage to go back, and you urged Yan Zhou to divorce me!"

Now you still want to smear me? Song Ruozhen, you're inhuman! You're just desperate and want me to suffer the same fate as you!

As Fan Siying spoke, she cried, perfectly capturing her grievances and resentment.

"With a sister like you, who would dare to marry into the Song family in the future? Everyone should see this clearly, I am a cautionary tale!"

The crowd looked at each other, each with their own version of events, and it was impossible to tell who was telling the truth and who was lying.

But if what Fan Siying said is true, then Song Ruozhen is a scourge, and any girl who marries her will be unlucky.

"Many people in the capital know what kind of people the Fan family is."

If what you say is true, and if Ruozhen or even our whole family has wronged you, given your personalities, you would have already invited the clan elders to my Song family to demand an explanation. Why would you so easily agree to a divorce?

Song Yanzhou's cold, hard voice rang out, as if it possessed its own aura, and the surrounding noise instantly quieted down.

"My fifth sister has always respected me as her eldest brother. Even if she really doesn't like you, she would never drive you away when I'm injured and unconscious."

This statement is completely illogical; you will understand once you think about it.

"In the past two years, my fifth sister has never said a bad word about you, and because of me, she has always been courteous to you."

On the contrary, you not only find fault with my sister at every turn, but also constantly say that she will never get married, and even criticize her for interfering in the family business!

My mother is still alive, so it's not my place to make decisions. Besides, as the eldest daughter-in-law, you should be humble and courteous, but you're always causing trouble. That's why I'm divorcing you!

Fan Siying instinctively retorted, "I...I didn't..."

"If you want evidence, I have plenty of witnesses!"

"I can summon all the maids and servants in the house, the tutor who taught you to read the account books, and the customers in the shop!"

Song Yanzhou's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but left no room for argument, leaving Fan Siying with no way to understand.

Fan Siying felt a chill run down her spine. Since their marriage, Song Yanzhou had been too lazy to pay attention to her, barely saying a few words, and naturally wouldn't bother with her.

It was only at this moment that she remembered that Song Yanzhou was such a meticulous person.

Once he decides to deal with her, she won't be able to withstand his methods!

When everyone saw Fan Siying's pale face, they understood that it was actually Fan Siying who had been slandering Song Ruozhen and the entire Song family.

"Fan Siying's distortion of the truth is really too much. Song Ruozhen didn't even bother with her, but she still wants to slander Song Yanzhou and Miss Luo. How can there be such a person?"

"The Song family didn't divorce her outright, which was really giving her face, yet she still turned around and accused them!"

Qin Shuangshuang hadn't expected Fan Siying to be so useless; she was completely rendered ineffective the moment Song Yanzhou spoke. She couldn't help but say:

“Miss Fan shouldn’t have said such things, but Miss Song, you are a woman of marriageable age. You have been hogging the family business and refusing to hand it over to your sister-in-law. It’s no wonder that she is unhappy.”

"I believe Miss Fan was just angry and spoke without thinking, so please don't keep bringing it up."

Song Ruozhen watched Qin Shuangshuang defend Fan Siying. Her gentle and kind demeanor was exactly what made her seem like the heroine. Compared to Qin Shuangshuang's pettiness, Qin Shuangshuang appeared gentle and generous.

Unfortunately, she wasn't buying it!

"Mrs. Lin, you still haven't paid back the money you owe me. Instead of meddling in other people's business, why don't you spend more time thinking about how to repay the money?"

Qin Shuangshuang's expression froze; she had completely forgotten about it!

Even Lin Zhiyue, who was about to speak up, immediately shut his mouth, afraid that everyone's attention would be drawn to him.

"As for why I manage the family business, it's because my fourth brother and I have always managed it together, and I'm the only one who knows the details of many of the accounts best."

Fan Siying has absolutely no business acumen. When she first started, my mother entrusted her with managing three shops, but they went from profitable to loss-making within three months. Why should I have given them to her?"

Song Ruozhen's gaze was fixed on Qin Shuangshuang, and she suddenly realized:

"Oh, I forgot, Mrs. Lin is not good at managing business, so naturally she wouldn't understand."

These words seemed to awaken everyone's memories. Fan Siying's background was not high, and she was not a well-educated lady who was proficient in everything. She was also not good at managing shops.

"I do remember that. If Miss Song hadn't taken it over back then, the shop probably wouldn't have been saved."

"Miss Song had already left to do business. The Lin family's shops weren't very profitable before, but after they fell into her hands, they transformed into thriving businesses, which many people envied."

Qin Shuangshuang clenched her fists unconsciously after being ridiculed by Song Ruozhen. She was the apple of Lin Zhiyue's eye.

In her previous life, Song Ruozhen managed all the business of the Lin family. After she died, the stewards in the mansion also learned how to do it, so she didn't have to worry about it at all. But now she felt extremely frustrated!
