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

White House.

As soon as Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting got off the carriage, they saw Bai Zimu waiting outside.

The man wore a light blue robe, and his long black hair was tied up with a ribbon of the same color. A few strands of hair fluttered in the wind, giving him a refined and gentle appearance.

He is like a high mountain and flowing water, naturally imbued with the spirit of poetry and literature, with a noble and pure temperament. Perhaps this is the charm of a person who is well-versed in poetry and literature and possesses a refined and elegant temperament.

"Indeed, there were so many handsome men in ancient times..."

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but sigh. Since transmigrating into the book, she not only had no worries about food and drink in the Song family, but she had also seen one handsome man after another. The young master Bai in front of her was also a rare gem. She had truly feasted her eyes.

Who are you calling a handsome man?

Chu Junting didn't hear what Song Ruozhen said clearly, only the words "handsome man," and his gaze unconsciously turned to Bai Zimu.

This guy was wearing a blue robe and still looked as refined and elegant as ever, but at this moment he seemed inexplicably displeasing to the eye.

"I said that both Young Master Bai and the Prince are handsome men."

Song Ruozhen chuckled awkwardly, secretly disliking herself for accidentally blurting out her innermost thoughts.

"Zi Mu is indeed quite good-looking." Chu Junting nodded, his expression seemingly unsatisfied.

"King Chu, Miss Song."

Bai Zimu greeted her with a smile, his gaze falling on Song Ruozhen. "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Miss Song today."

"Young Master Bai, there's no need for such formalities. I already owe the Prince a debt of gratitude, and since the Prince invited me here today, I will certainly do my best to help."

Song Ruozhen didn't intend to take credit for anything. She was only repaying Chu Junting's favor, and Chu Junting had brought her here specifically to help Bai Zimu relieve his worries.

Bai Zimu looked at the King of Chu, who waved his hand and said, "Go in. If this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, your household will be able to settle down sooner, so that you won't be so unsettled that you can't do your best to serve me."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Bai Zimu chuckled.

When Song Ruozhen first visited the Bai family, she saw the enormous mansion and the beautiful scenery at every turn, and she also realized how powerful the Bai family was.

However, as soon as they reached the gate of the courtyard, they saw that a large crowd had already gathered outside.

"Let's do it, smash this yard right now."

Bai Junyu raised his hand, signaling the servants behind him to rush in. "This dilapidated courtyard is full of ghost stories. I'll completely tear it down and see what kind of demons and monsters are inside!"

"Second Young Master, the Eldest Young Master instructed us that no one is allowed to enter the courtyard when he is not here," the servant said anxiously.

Bai Junyu scoffed, "This is the Bai residence. Father and Mother have already agreed, so what's wrong with demolishing this courtyard?"

"Don't delay any longer, get to work! Once this is done, I'll reward you with silver!"

Upon hearing that there was a reward, everyone immediately stopped fearing that there might be ghosts inside and rushed in to tear down the courtyard.

"stop!"

Bai Zimu strode forward, his gentle and warm face now showing a hint of coldness. "Second brother, I told you not to touch this courtyard!"

"Brother, this courtyard isn't clean. I'm doing this for the sake of the whole family. You can't put the safety of the entire family aside for your own selfish reasons!"

Bai Junyu had already prepared his explanation, and was completely unafraid when faced with Bai Zimu's questioning.

The next instant, he suddenly noticed Chu Junting and Song Ruozhen, and quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness, Prince Chu."

"Your Highness, look at my head! I got this injury in this courtyard a few days ago when I went to see my elder brother. This place is really too eerie; you absolutely mustn't go in!"

Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting both noticed the wound on Bai Junyu's forehead, which looked particularly serious after being bandaged.

"Brother, we're family. It's one thing if we get hurt, but you absolutely mustn't bring His Highness Prince Chu in. What if he gets injured?" Bai Junyu couldn't help but criticize.

Bai Zimu frowned. He was used to Bai Junyu using such words to pressure him at home. In the past, he still managed to save face, but now the situation was tense and they had completely broken off relations.

"I came here specifically because I found this matter interesting."

Chu Junting's cold voice instantly silenced Bai Junyu.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Shouldn't one avoid such a thing at all costs? Why would the King of Chu come specifically to see it?

While everyone was talking, Song Ruozhen looked at the courtyard, which was filled with a sinister aura, and couldn't help but sigh.

The resentment runs so deep that it seems to have been brewing for quite some time.

Ordinary people would run into trouble if they stayed here for no more than three days, but Bai Zimu looked normal and had no trace of evil aura.

As for Bai Junyu, he only went in a few days ago, and his face turned dark and his eyes became sunken. Fortunately, he didn't stay inside for long, so it wasn't fatal, but he was definitely going to suffer bad luck.

It's likely that the "person" here has a close relationship with Bai Zimu.

"I would like to go in and take a look. I hope the Second Young Master doesn't mind?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Bai Junyu waved his hands repeatedly, sweating profusely with fear. "Your Highness, please proceed."

As the three entered the courtyard, the warm weather seemed to turn cold instantly. Chu Junting frowned, realizing the problem at hand.

I had a similar eerie feeling when I was at the Song family's lotus pond, but the feeling here is clearly much stronger.

"Miss Song, have you noticed anything unusual about this place?"

Bai Zimu already knew about Song Ruozhen's abilities from Chu Junting. The manor had previously invited a Taoist priest to perform rituals, but nothing changed. On the contrary, the situation had recently escalated.

Song Ruozhen quietly looked at the woman in red in the corner. The woman had delicate features, and upon closer inspection, one could see that her features were somewhat similar to Bai Zimu's.

She had her eye on them from the moment they stepped in.

"Are you Young Master Bai's mother?"

The woman in red clearly hadn't expected Song Ruozhen to be able to see her. Her almost numb face finally showed a flicker of emotion, mostly one of fear.

"They want to harm my child, I must protect him!"

"They deserve to die! The entire Bai family deserves to die!"

The woman had become a vengeful ghost, her words were incoherent, and she exuded a black, malevolent aura, as if she wanted to destroy everything.

The moment Song Ruozhen saw her, she understood why people had died one after another here. If the situation wasn't resolved quickly, this place would become a completely haunted house.

Anyone who enters will surely die.

"Miss Song, what did you say?"

Bai Zimu was stunned when he heard what Song Ruozhen said. His mother was still alive and well, so why did Miss Song ask such a question in an empty place?

Song Ruozhen did not answer, but looked at the woman in red in front of her and slowly extended her hand.

Seeing the golden light emanating from Song Ruozhen, the woman in red instinctively tried to dodge, but Song Ruozhen was faster and casually cast a magic array, temporarily trapping her in front of her.
