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

“Madam Bai!” Chu Junting’s voice was icy. “Since you are not Zi Mu’s biological mother, you don’t need to interrupt when he talks to Marquis Bai about his deceased mother.”

Lu Wenxiu was even more anxious to accuse Bai Zimu, but was suddenly warned by Chu Junting, which startled her.

Normally, she would not dare to speak much in front of the King of Chu, but today was a family matter of the Bai family, and no matter how noble the King of Chu's status was, he could not interfere in family matters.

“Your Highness, but this is a matter within our household…” Lü Wenxiu asked tentatively.

"It is precisely because this is a matter of the Bai family that I have not said much. Otherwise, would Madam Bai still be standing here after such rudeness?"

Chu Junting glanced at her indifferently, his cold eyes revealing a sharp edge.

Lu Wenxiu felt embarrassed and quickly shut his mouth, thinking to himself that the King of Chu's aura was too terrifying, and Bai Zimu must have had some incredible luck to be able to follow the King of Chu.

As Bai Hou stepped forward, he couldn't help but tear up when he saw the letter in Bai Zimu's hand and the keepsake in the box.

"The person I owe the most to in my life is Yue Ling..."

"Actually, I still have feelings for her. Although I lied to her back then, it's not that I was without feelings."

She was determined to leave, and I was just angry. She was already mine, so why was she so determined to leave? That's why I trapped her here..."

Bai Chenghong lowered his head and slowly revealed the secret from back then.

It turned out that he didn't dislike Yu Yueling; it was just that Yu Yueling was determined to leave after learning that he was already married, and no amount of persuasion from him could change her mind.

He had promised to return the child to Yu Yueling, as long as she was willing to stay and be her concubine.

Unfortunately, he broke his promise in the end.

Lu Wenxiu was his first wife, and the two had always had a harmonious relationship. However, they had not had children for three years, which led to a lot of gossip. It was only with the arrival of a child that they were able to deflect the rumors.

Returning the child to Yu Yueling at this point would only worsen Lü Wenxiu's situation.

Under Lu Wenxiu's threat of suicide, Bai Chenghong had no choice but to agree. However, after that, when he tried to persuade Yu Yueling again, she refused to believe him at all. It seemed as if she had been traumatized by something, and she even stabbed him...

Song Ruozhen listened to all this and understood it perfectly.

Since Bai Chenghong had already repented, there is only one possibility left for the two of them to end up like this.

Lü Wenxiu interfered!

Bai Hou appears clever, but he is actually soft-hearted. He doesn't have a mouth when facing Yu Yueling, which only makes the misunderstanding deepen.

Seeing Yu Yueling's stunned expression, her eyes filled with disbelief, she became even more certain of everything.

“But Mother’s letter clearly says that you lied to her and that you never cared about her.”

Bai Zimu also keenly sensed that something was amiss. However, having spent many years with his father, he knew his father's temperament inside and out. Since he said that, it proved that he truly thought so.

But there's clearly something wrong with this!

Bai Chenghong was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head and sighed, "I lied to her about the marriage, and she no longer believes me."

"Lord Bai, I'm afraid we'll have to ask Madam Bai about this."

Looking at the heartbroken Yu Yueling, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but feel sorry for her. In the end, it was just that she was really unlucky.

Bai Hou was never a carefree person. Even though he had feelings for her, he couldn't clearly express them. In addition, there was Lü Wenxiu who interfered. Her life was really too difficult.

As Song Ruozhen finished speaking, everyone present turned to look at Lü Wenxiu.

Lu Wenxiu had noticed Song Ruozhen before, not for any other reason than that her appearance was so striking that it was hard not to notice her.

She didn't know Song Ruozhen, but since this woman was by the side of the Prince of Chu, it wasn't hard to guess her identity. She was just a woman who used her beauty to serve others, yet she dared to interfere in the affairs of their Bai family.

"Girl, what do you mean by that?"

“Madam Bai, you know what you’ve done. If you hadn’t told those lies and sown discord, Young Master Bai’s birth mother probably wouldn’t have died in despair.”

Lu Wenxiu's expression changed. "What do you know to spout such nonsense!"

Faced with Lü Wenxiu's anger, Song Ruozhen was completely unconcerned. "Madam Bai, let me kindly remind you, your forehead is dark and your eye sockets are sunken. It seems that someone has recently died, causing a vengeful ghost to seek revenge."

If this isn't resolved quickly, death is certain within three days!

"As for your claim of being sick, or that this courtyard of Young Master Bai is cursed to bring you misfortune, those are all nonsense. You are reaping the consequences of your own actions."

"Human life?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed. Other things were one thing, but if someone died, that would be a serious matter!

A flicker of uncontrollable panic and fear flashed in Lü Wenxiu's eyes as she angrily demanded, "Who are you? Why are you here spouting nonsense and slandering my reputation?"

I have no grudge against you, so what are your intentions in harming me like this?!

Seeing Lü Wenxiu rush forward, Chu Junting pulled Song Ruozhen behind him, his voice cold:

“Miss Song was specially invited by me. You claimed that this courtyard is haunted, which is why you want to demolish and rebuild it. I hope Madam Bai will speak politely.”

If my distinguished guest is offended, I am not one to be easily angered.

His words clearly conveyed a desire to protect her.

"A distinguished guest?" Lü Wenxiu was dumbfounded.

She had initially thought that Song Ruozhen was merely using her looks to curry favor with the King of Chu, but she was surprised to find that the two had such a relationship.

“Miss Song is well-versed in metaphysics and would never speak without reason. Since she has said so, I advise Madam Bai to tell the truth so that we can find an opportunity to break the spell.”

Chu Junting was also quite surprised. The Bai family seemed to be calm before, and it was already surprising that they knew about Yu Yueling. But one wave after another had been brought up, and now another life had been taken away.

Bai Hou's wife was no ordinary woman.

"Granny Xu suddenly starved to death not long ago. Could it be that you did it?"

Upon hearing about the death, Bai Zimu seemed to sense something and made a connection, as the only person to die in the manor recently was Granny Xu.

"Granny Xu?"

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. She could tell from the malevolent aura emanating from Lü Wenxiu that she was possessed by a vengeful ghost and had not been dead for long, so it was not the work of Yu Yueling.

Because Yu Yueling was imprisoned here during her lifetime, her soul was also trapped here after death. It is obviously impossible for Lü Wenxiu to come here. Her current problems are because she has been tainted by other vengeful ghosts.

She never expected that the Bai family could cause two deaths in succession. Lu Wenxiu kept saying that she was pitiful, but she was clearly the one with a heart of a snake!

"Granny Xu died suddenly a few days ago. She was perfectly fine when she left me that day, but I learned of this the next day. When I rushed over to see her, Granny Xu's body had already been burned."

I asked Madam Bai, and she said it was Granny Xu's dying wish; as for anything else, I don't know.
