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

Hearing her young mistress's words, Chenxiang couldn't help but laugh. Yesterday, Peilan had clearly been kidnapped and taken to the Liu family, directly to Steward Liu's courtyard.

When Butler Liu learned that it was a marriage arranged by Miss, he did not refuse at all and turned it into a happy occasion. They even specially sent people to guard outside. It is said that Peilan was unwilling at first, but later she couldn't stand the noise anymore.

According to the messenger who returned with the message, he saw the wife, her face ashen, leading a group of men to deal with Pei Lan when he left this morning. He only heard screams coming from inside, but didn't have time to see what was going on.

"Isn't this ridiculous? Ruozhen, even if you made a mistake in your own marriage, you can't treat a servant like this! Peilan has been with you for so many years, and you're ruining her life so easily. Isn't that going too far?"

Liu Feiyan was furious. She thought she was just being sent back, and that she could just send her back later. But she ended up marrying Liu Heng.

Liu Heng is more than just a housekeeper; how could someone like Pei Lan possibly climb into his bed?

"I'm being ridiculous? I'm already being kind by not killing her outright!" Song Ruozhen's face turned cold. "Aunt, I'm not saying this to be mean, but you have really bad taste. Peilan was actually bribed by Qin Shuangshuang. This kind of treacherous and ungrateful person should have been beaten to death and thrown out, but I spared her life because she was someone carefully selected by Aunt."

"From now on, Aunt, please don't send anyone to live with me. Otherwise, if something happens to me, wouldn't you be the culprit?"

"Pei Lan has been bribed by Qin Shuangshuang?" Liu Ruyan's expression changed drastically. She then looked at Liu Feiyan and questioned, "What's going on?"

Liu Feiyan was startled and couldn't help but curse Pei Lan in her heart for being such an idiot, being discovered so easily, and having no brains at all!

"This... I have absolutely no idea about this. Could there be a mistake? I thought Perrin was an honest and upright person. How could he do something like this?"

"The evidence has already been gathered. Does Aunt want me to present it to you one by one?" Song Ruozhen chuckled, her eyes sharp. "Thinking about it carefully, Peilan and Qin Shuangshuang shouldn't have had any chance to know each other at all. It just so happens that I heard that Aunt and Madam Qin have a very good relationship, and Peilan is a maid you brought along..."

"Sister, do you also know about this?"

Hearing her daughter's words, how could Liu Ruyan not understand what she meant?

Pei Lan was just a maid, and Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Hou had only been back in the capital for a short time. It was hard not to be suspicious that she had been bribed so quickly.

Liu Feiyan immediately cried out in protest, "Sister, don't you know who I am? Ruozhen is your daughter, and I have always treated her as my own. How could I possibly do such a thing?"

I have no idea that Perrin would be so audacious as to do something like this. You just wait, I'll deal with that bitch in a bit!

"If you really think Zhen'er has been wronged and value me as her older sister, then stay away from Madam Qin. Otherwise, aren't you deliberately making us suffer?"

Liu Ruyan's face turned cold. Even if Liu Feiyan was truly unaware of this matter, it was still possible that she had leaked the information. Qin Shuangshuang's bribery of Peilan was clearly malicious. For Liu Feiyan to associate with Madam Qin at this time was undoubtedly a slap in their face!

Seeing this, Liu Feiyan had no choice but to agree, feeling incredibly frustrated. In the past, Liu Ruyan would always listen to what she said, but today, she was rendered speechless by the mother and daughter's refutation.

It was all her fault!

Enraged, Liu Feiyan left with Sun Yan'er without even having lunch, saying she was going to teach Pei Lan a lesson for being a traitor.

"Zhen'er, why did you say you wanted Yan'er to marry Marquis Lin?" Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask.

Song Yi'an had heard everything clearly and asked with a serious face, "You suspect that this matter... is related to your aunt?"

Song Ruozhen nodded and turned her gaze to Liu Ruyan. "Mother, I know you and Aunt have always had a good relationship. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you after I've gathered all the evidence."

"Zhen'er, you are my daughter, so naturally I will put you first in everything." Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel heartache, her expression extremely serious. "I did spoil your aunt in the past, but those were minor matters. How can they compare to you?"

Knowing Liu Ruyan's true feelings, Song Ruozhen said, "Mother, the relationship between Aunt and Madam Qin is probably even better than yours. Peilan has already told them everything about my situation, which is why they dare to try to manipulate me so recklessly."

My aunt always wanted my cousin to surpass me in everything. Although this marriage is nothing special for us, Lin Hou is undoubtedly a good match for my cousin.

Knowing my aunt's personality, she would surely agree to such a benefit immediately, so isn't it strange that she's making excuses today?

Liu Ruyan frowned. She had noticed it today as well. Sun Yan'er's personality was just like Liu Feiyan's. Since childhood, Liu Feiyan had always liked to compete with her. It was strange that she was suddenly being so reasonable today.

“There’s nothing wrong with Qin Shuangshuang wanting to marry Lin Hou, but it’s strange that she’s now so eager to have you marry him,” Song Yi’an said thoughtfully.

Liu Ruyan hesitated, "Could it be that you want to embezzle my money? I heard that although Qin Shuangshuang is a young lady of the Qin family, she is not favored in the family, and her dowry for this marriage is pitifully small."

"I'm afraid it's not just about money, it's about taking lives!" Song Yi'an's face turned completely cold, his hands clenched together, his knuckles turning white. "If it weren't for that, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths!"

"What? How dare they?" Liu Ruyan's eyes widened in horror, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Song Ruozhen's hand.

Song Ruozhen looked at her second brother in surprise. As expected of the top scholar praised by everyone, he was able to deduce these things from these clues. It is evident that he is very meticulous. If he had not been blind, how could he have met such a tragic end?

"Second brother, I think the same way, but since we don't have any evidence yet, we should keep quiet about this."

Seeing that her gentle younger sister hadn't lost her composure and seemed to have already made up her mind, Song Yi'an was secretly surprised, but even more delighted.

"Yi'an, if all of this is true, what do you suggest we do?"

Liu Ruyan had always thought Song Yi'an was smart and resourceful, and he had often offered advice to her before. She couldn't help but feel anxious, "The Lin family is so despicable, they want to harm your sister, we absolutely cannot swallow our anger!"

"Instead of asking me, why don't you ask Fifth Sister what she thinks?"

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "My idea is very simple: marry Sun Yan'er off to him."

“I think so too.” Song Yi’an chuckled, then added, “Mother, I’m afraid you’ll have to step in to help with this.”

Liu Ruyan glanced at Song Yi'an, then at Song Ruozhen, recalling the times she had spent with Liu Feiyan over the years, before her eyes hardened.

"it is good!"

No one is more important than her children!

Liu Feiyan is on good terms with Madam Qin, so she probably can't escape being implicated in this matter. Whoever dares to harm her child, she will not let them get away with it!
