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

Lu Wenxiu looked heartbroken. "I wasn't feeling well a few days ago and called him back, but he ignored me completely!"

He is my eldest son, and I devoted myself to raising him to be successful. Now that he has finally become an official, he no longer cares about his mother. I am truly unfortunate!

"Brother, how could you hurt Mother's feelings like this? Quickly admit your mistake!"

Bai Junyu, with a serious expression, couldn't wait to rebuke, "Although my talent and skills are not as good as yours, I understand one thing: the most important thing in being a person is to be filial!"

"Filial piety? A mother's love is what makes a son filial, and besides, I wasn't even born of you, so why bother with this pretense?"

Bai Zimu gripped the letter tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and his handsome and gentle face unusually tinged with ferocity.

Lu Wenxiu's expression changed slightly. "What did you say? I only said a few words to you, and now you don't even recognize me as your mother?"

"My birth mother is Yu Yueling. Because of your selfishness, she was trapped and died in this courtyard. Now you want to demolish the courtyard where she lived!"

Madam Bai, let me give you a piece of advice: don't be so ruthless!

As soon as the name "Yu Yueling" was uttered, a look of panic flashed in Lü Wenxiu's eyes. "Who told you all this nonsense?"

"Now that things have come to this, why bother with hiding it?"

Bai Zimu scoffed, "I've known since I was little that you like your second and third brothers far more than me. I always thought it was because I wasn't good enough. I studied hard and dared not slack off in the slightest."

But every time I bring you better grades, you're not happy at all; instead, you get even angrier.

"I never understood why before, but now I finally do."

He became a thorn in someone's side because he was too outstanding!

Lu Wenxiu gave birth to two children in a row, but neither could compare to Bai Zimu, which was a thorn in her side.

She wished Bai Zimu would become obsessed with playing around and neglecting his studies, but he always managed to achieve even better results.

Hearing the teacher's praise and the envy of her relatives and friends, her heart was breaking, and she wished she could make Bai Zimu disappear from this world!

Song Ruozhen looked at Lü Wenxiu in front of her and found that she was surrounded by a murderous aura, and her condition was much more serious than Bai Junyu's.

But this malevolent aura was clearly different from that emanating from Yu Yueling.

Bai Junyu had ill intentions when he came to see Bai Zimu a couple of days ago. Yu Yueling happened to be guarding the place and intervened when she saw him trying to trip Bai Zimu, which is why Bai Junyu fell and broke his head.

Because of the evil energy entering his body, he has been having nightmares every night for the past few days and hasn't been able to get a good night's sleep.

In contrast, Lü Wenxiu had a dark complexion and slightly bulging eyes, looking like she was about to die—a sign that her life was nearing its end.

"Zi Mu, don't be fooled. Yu Yue Ling is just your father's mistress, whom he keeps outside. You are my own son!"

Now that everyone sees you've become an official and have a bright future, they want to sow discord between us, mother and son. If you truly believe them, then you've fallen into their trap!

Lu Wenxiu couldn't help but feel anxious. Even though she didn't like Bai Zimu, he was, after all, her most promising son and a filial son to her.

Yu Yueling is already dead, but having this son is better than having none at all.

"Even now, you're still trying to lie to me?"

Looking at Lü Wenxiu, who was speaking sharply and sternly, Bai Zimu felt an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity.

Perhaps she has always been this way, never changed, only because she never received her mother's love, she has embellished everything herself.

Now that the truth has been revealed, he has seen through everything.

"What did my mother do wrong? She was an innocent girl who only wanted to marry an ordinary man and live a peaceful life."

"Since you can't have children, you could at least take a concubine. Why do you have to harm her?"

"It wasn't enough that you lied to her; you also imprisoned her here, stole her child, and ruined her life. What right do you have to do this!"

Bai Zimu roared hoarsely, unable to believe that his father, whom he had always been proud of, and his mother, whom he had always admired, could be so cruel!

He, who prided himself on his immense talent and was praised by everyone in the capital, was actually a complete fool.

He was completely unaware of all the suffering his biological mother had endured for him, and he only learned of her existence many years after her death...

The servants around them stared wide-eyed, recalling the rumors they had heard before, but they were told not to gossip before they even had a chance to say a few more words.

Only now did I realize that the eldest son's biological mother was someone else, and everything made sense at this moment!

"You've only heard some rumors, yet you've concluded that you're not my biological son. You unfilial son, you've truly broken my heart!"

Lu Wenxiu's face turned ashen. "Guards, take this unfilial son away and punish him according to family law! Discipline him properly!"

"Hurry up and take him away!" Bai Junyu was secretly delighted, but pretended to be helpless. "Brother, you're really hurting Mother's feelings."

However, as the servants stepped forward, Chu Junting spoke calmly:

"Since Madam Bai insists that he is her biological son, why not take this opportunity to test him today? This will not only completely dispel Zi Mu's suspicions, but also let everyone know the truth."

Lu Wenxiu was slightly taken aback and said incredulously, "Your Highness, there is no doubt that Zimu is my son. Why is there a need to verify it?"

"I personally witnessed Zimu digging up Yu Yueling's belongings under the tree. It was all written clearly in black and white. If Madam Bai is certain of the truth, why not have it examined?"

"Moreover, Yu Yueling's belongings are here, yet the entire Bai family has had no news about Yu Yueling for so many years, which is really too strange."

If Madam Bai is unwilling, then perhaps we should invite Marquis Bai over to ask him for clarification.

Chu Junting's expression was indifferent, and his cold voice was calm and composed, yet it revealed an undeniable domineering attitude.

Lu Wenxiu's eyes flickered. She had underestimated Bai Zimu, who had actually brought the Prince of Chu to suppress her!

"Fine, now that things have come to this, let's tell Zimu the truth."

A rather authoritative voice came from behind the group, and Bai Hou had arrived at some point.

"Cough cough." Bai Chenghong coughed lightly twice, his face pale and his whole body weak, as if he had been ill for a while.

"My lord!" Lü Wenxiu couldn't help but feel anxious. She had kept it a secret for so many years, why expose it now!

"Zimu, it is your father who has wronged you."

Bai Chenghong's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Looking at his proud son, the image of Yu Yueling from back then couldn't help but come to mind.

In fact, Zi Mu's appearance is also like hers; she is exceptionally beautiful.

Bai Zimu looked at Bai Chenghong in front of him, his eyes filled with anger, "Why did you do this to my mother? She never wronged you!"

"It's my fault, it's all my fault." Bai Chenghong was full of guilt. "Zimu, I regret it now. Since she left, my health has deteriorated year by year. It's all my retribution!"

"Zimu, do you want to anger your father to death?" Lü Wenxiu said angrily. "He is your father, how dare you interrogate him!"
