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

"According to my aunt, I'm not living a respectable life in the Song family now?"

Song Ruozhen sized up Liu Feiyan in front of her. She was wearing a sea-green embroidered half-sleeved peony-patterned blouse and a yellow peony-embroidered gauze skirt. Her delicate hair was adorned with peony-shaped beads, and the agate beads around her neck were dazzling. Her attire was much more gorgeous than her mother's.

However, although Liu Feiyan and Liu Ruyan were sisters, her appearance was very different from Liu Ruyan's.

Even now, adorned with jewels, she still paled in comparison to the gentle and elegant Liu Ruyan, appearing overly fussy and superfluous.

"Ruozhen, that's not what your aunt meant. It's just that you're over twenty now and it's hard to find a good family for you. Besides, Marquis Lin is currently very popular. Who would risk offending him to marry you after making such a scene?"

Liu Feiyan spoke with heartfelt sincerity. If Song Ruozhen hadn't already known her true colors, she might have truly believed that Liu Feiyan was genuinely worried about her.

"Auntie, is your eye bad?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Liu Feiyan was taken aback. "No."

"If he had good eyesight, how could he say such a brainless thing?"

Lin Hou is a treacherous man. Despite being engaged to me, he has been having an affair with another woman. For the past two years, he has entrusted my care to Old Madam Lin while he has been indulging in romantic escapades with other women.

If he had any conscience at all, he should have apologized to me and explained everything when he came back. But he kept it to himself and even acted self-righteously on our wedding day, saying that I was going to ruin his good marriage with Qin Shuangshuang.

If he truly only had Qin Shuangshuang in his heart and came back to break off the engagement with me, I would respect him as a man of principle. But given everything he's done now, wanting both, how could my aunt possibly consider him a perfect son-in-law?

As she spoke, Song Ruozhen glanced at Sun Yan'er, who was watching the spectacle from the side, and said, "If Aunt really thinks he's good, and my cousin is already nineteen and still unmarried, why not let her marry Marquis Lin in my place? That way, the relationship between our two families won't be severed, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Sun Yan'er is Liu Feiyan's daughter and cousin. She has always liked to compare herself with the original owner of this body since she was a child.

The original owner had a good nature and had been taught to behave like a well-bred young lady since childhood, so she was tolerant in everything, which led to Sun Yan'er frequently taking her things.

Sun Yan'er was already jealous of the original owner's marriage to Lin Zhiyue, and often made sarcastic remarks. When Lin Zhiyue came to propose marriage, she tried every means to get closer to him, and her intentions were obvious to everyone.

As expected, when Song Ruozhen finished speaking, Sun Yan'er's eyes lit up. "Mother, I think my cousin's suggestion is good. Since she doesn't want to marry, why don't we let her marry me? I'm not as picky as my cousin. I can have a husband like this and I'm still being picky."

Seeing that Sun Yan'er was trying to take advantage of her while also slandering her, Song Ruozhen's eyes turned cold. The original owner's family's good temper had given rise to such a bloodsucking relative. What bad luck!

"What's good?"

Liu Feiyan scolded, not expecting Song Ruozhen to make such a suggestion, but Yan'er absolutely could not marry into that family.

She knew perfectly well what Qin Shuangshuang and the others were up to, so how could she possibly push her own daughter into a fire pit?

"This is your cousin's marriage. As her younger cousin, if word gets out that you're stealing her marriage, won't people laugh at you?"

Liu Yunyan also felt that this matter was really inappropriate. Seeing that Liu Feiyan had scolded Sun Yan'er, her expression softened a bit. Yan'er had always liked to compete since she was a child. She had always known that small things were fine, but marriage was not something to be taken lightly.

She looked at Song Ruozhen with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she would make such a suggestion.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. We're all family anyway, so it doesn't matter who gets married."

Sun Yan'er pouted; she really wanted to marry into the Lin family.

Because Song Ruozhen came from a higher social class, she always looked down on her, which made her extremely unhappy.

Now that it's time to get married, she hopes to marry someone better than Song Ruozhen. If she could marry Lin Hou, wouldn't she have completely won against her?

“I think so too.” Song Ruozhen nodded, gave Liu Ruyan a reassuring look, and then said, “Aunt, my father is missing and my brother is in trouble. I’m already worried about him. It’s better for him to stay at home. Since my cousin is so interested, why don’t we let her get married?”

Such a marriage is incredibly rare, why not grant my cousin's wish?

"Yes, Mother, my cousin is right." Sun Yan'er was overjoyed; it was like a windfall!

"Impossible, you can't marry him!" Liu Feiyan said anxiously.

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "Aunt, didn't you keep saying that the Lin Marquis's residence is a good place? How come I can go, but my cousin can't?"

Seeing that Song Ruozhen had suddenly become sharp-tongued, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but wonder why the two people who were usually easy to control were so resolute today.

"I just don't want to ruin the bond between you sisters because of a marriage."

"Auntie's words are very interesting. My cousin and I both think it's a good idea, so why would we let this matter damage our relationship? As long as my cousin marries into the family, I will definitely give her a generous gift!"

Seeing Liu Feiyan's flustered expression and inability to refuse, Song Ruozhen sneered inwardly. She suspected that this kind aunt knew about the original owner's plan to die two years later, and might even have been involved in it.

However, she was determined to send Sun Yan'er there. Rather than targeting them one by one, she would rather find an opportunity for them to fight each other!

Sun Yan'er was a restless person by nature. She was spoiled since childhood and developed a fearless personality. Coupled with her impulsive nature, if she went to the Lin Hou Mansion to compete with Qin Shuangshuang for a man, there would be quite a show to watch!

In the book, Liu Feiyan and Madam Qin have a very good relationship, but it is unknown whether they can still be on good terms after their daughter becomes their mortal enemy.

"Ruozhen, I heard you sent Peilan to the Liu residence yesterday? What wrong did she do? If she did anything wrong, you can discipline her yourself. Why send her away?"

Liu Feiyan changed the subject. She only learned about this news when she arrived at the Song residence early in the morning. She had specially arranged for that girl to be by Song Ruozhen's side, and now that she was in a position to be useful, she was driven away like this.

"I not only sent her to the Liu residence, but I also put her in Steward Liu's bed," Song Ruozhen said casually, taking a sip of tea.

"What?" Liu Feiyan was taken aback. "Aren't you just setting up a marriage for me?"

Not to mention Liu Feiyan, even Liu Ruyan was surprised. She was upset last night and didn't know that Zhen'er had sent Peilan away overnight and arranged the marriage.

"It's nothing. It's just that Peilan is getting on in years and is eager to get married. After thinking it over, we decided that Steward Liu was a good match for her, so we arranged for her to marry him."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Auntie really knows how to train maids. Peilan is about the same age as me, but she is very generous. She believes that it is common for men to have multiple wives and concubines, and she voluntarily became a concubine for Steward Liu."

Well…they got married last night, it's a joyous occasion.”
