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

"What bet?"

Yao Jinsheng sneered. Song Ruozhen is quite famous in the capital now. Instead of restraining herself after the annulment of the engagement, she has become even more arrogant.

"Let's bet on your Yao family's herbal medicine shop. If my elder brother can stand up again, then the herbal medicine shop will belong to us!"

Seeing Song Ruozhen's outrageous demand for Yao's herbal medicine shop, Xu Shiyi couldn't help but feel anxious. "Sheng'er, the herbal medicine shop is the most popular business!"

Song Yanzhou and Liu Ruyan understood why Song Ruozhen chose the herbal medicine shop. The Song family was well-versed in business and had a presence in various businesses in the capital, but they had always been overshadowed by the Yao family in the herbal medicine shop business.

If the Yao family's herbal medicine shop becomes theirs, then their herbal medicine business in the capital city will be the strongest.

"Mother, don't worry. Almost all the doctors in the capital have gone to the Song family to see them. Do you really believe what they say?"

Yao Jinsheng said confidently, "Sure, if you can't do it, the Song family's jewelry shop will belong to us!"

Xu Shiyi was delighted to hear this. The Song family's jewelry was always of good quality, and she liked it quite a bit. Sheng'er really understood her feelings!

"it is good!"

When Duke Luo returned, he happened to run into King Chu. Upon learning that King Chu had come to visit Luo Qingyin, he was flattered and overwhelmed.

"Your Highness, my daughter has only caught a cold. It is truly her good fortune that you have come to visit her."

"I came here with a friend; she went in first," Chu Junting said.

Duke Luo was surprised. The person who came to visit his daughter today was none other than Yao Jinsheng. Could it be that he was on good terms with the Prince of Chu?

As the two walked into the courtyard, they bumped into their aunt, who had made the bet. They frowned and said, "Isn't this ridiculous?"

When everyone turned around and saw that Duke Luo was traveling with Chu Junting, they quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness, Prince Chu."

Chu Junting casually raised his hand, his gaze falling on Song Ruozhen. In just a moment, this girl had given him another surprise.

Is Song Yanzhou still able to stand up?

“Uncle, this is not something Jinsheng is doing frivolously. It was Song Yanzhou and his sister who brought it up on their own initiative. I also hoped that Qingyin could see through their true colors, so I agreed,” Yao Jinsheng said quickly.

Looking at Yao Jinsheng's ingratiating manner, Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly, not expecting that this guy was also an expert in tea ceremony!

She certainly wouldn't let herself suffer such a loss!

“My elder brother’s leg ailment has been cured, but Young Master Yao keeps saying that my elder brother is deliberately lying. I just wanted to prove my elder brother’s innocence, which is why we made the bet.”

Luo Yuanhong's gaze shifted to Song Yanzhou's legs, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

Song Yanzhou was a junior he had high hopes for, and that was why he had arranged the marriage for Qingyin, but he never expected that the engagement would be broken so suddenly.

"I have heard about what happened yesterday. Although you have wronged Qingyin, I understand the difficulties you have gone through."

Song Lin and I have been friends for many years, and I've watched you grow up. Now that your matter with the Fan family has been resolved, you should just live your life well from now on.

As for these comments, there's no need to pay them any attention, nor is there any need to prove anything. In my opinion, this bet should just be dropped.

Liu Ruyan's eyes flickered slightly. Although the Duke of Luo's words sounded fair, they all understood that he was speaking up for Song Yanzhou.

Everyone knows he will never have another chance to stand up again. Wouldn't it be a pity to lose another shop because of a moment of anger?

Xu Shiyi was understandably displeased that the Luo family had clearly severed ties with the Song family, yet they were still helping Song Yanzhou. She quickly said:

"Duke Luo, since this bet has already been made, why cancel it?"

Since they believe my son slandered them, let's continue the bet. We'll consider losing a herbal medicine shop as our apology.

Song Ruozhen chuckled inwardly; Madam Yao really knew how to dig a hole for herself!

"I also think this bet is good, let's settle it here," Chu Junting said.

Luo Yuanhong originally wanted to stop him, but since the King of Chu had already spoken, he dared not object and had no choice but to agree.

“Then we’ll wait seven days. I won’t make you leave. I just need you to stand up, and then this bet will be considered a loss for me!” Yao Jinsheng said, feigning modesty.

Song Ruozhen turned her head and met Song Yanzhou's gaze. The two then smiled at each other.

“In that case, there’s no need to wait seven days,” Song Ruozhen said. “My elder brother can stand up right now.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Could he really stand up now?

Liu Ruyan also turned her head in surprise. Ever since Yi'an regained his sight, she had placed great trust in Ruozhen's medical skills and knew that she had been treating Yan Zhou recently.

However, the illness was too severe to be cured in a day or two, yet now he can stand up directly?

"Miss Song, are you out of your mind trying to impress someone? Have you made him stand up now?"

Yao Jinsheng couldn't help but laugh, "If he could stand up right now, I'd eat that wheelchair..."

Just as Yao Jinsheng finished speaking, Song Yanzhou slowly stood up under everyone's gaze.

Although his body trembled slightly and his movements were slow, he did indeed stand up.

"Young Master!" Guan Yan couldn't help but tear up, finally seeing the young master stand up!

"Yan Zhou, you... you can really stand up!"

Liu Ruyan wept with joy, her heart filled with happiness as she looked at her son.

"Young Master Yao, it just so happens that so many people were present today as witnesses. I hope you will keep your promise and send the land deed over later."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, her delicate and bright face showing gentleness. "As for this wheelchair, if you want to eat, we'll give it to you as a gift."

Seeing that Song Ruozhen seemed to be reluctantly giving him the wheelchair, Yao Jinsheng's expression turned extremely ugly. Fortunately, he had maintained some dignity earlier and did not say that he would eat shit on the spot.

“Young Master Yao, please,” Song Yanzhou said.

Yao Jinsheng gave an awkward smile. "I was just saying that casually. You should sit down."

"No." Song Yanzhou raised his hand. "I've heard that Young Master Yao is always true to his word. He's already said what he meant, and he can't go back on his word in front of the Prince and Uncle."

Guan Yan, who was standing nearby, was very perceptive and quickly pushed the wheelchair in front of Yao Jinsheng, saying, "Please, go ahead."

Yao Jinsheng: "!!!"

Xu Qingmei's face turned pale. The herbal medicine shop was the best shop in the Yao family. Now that it had been given away so easily, she was afraid that the master would blame them when he found out.

How am I supposed to explain this?!

Seeing that Xu Qingmei and the other person seemed to have changed their minds, Chu Junting calmly spoke up:

"Since we have witnessed the bet today, let's witness its conclusion. The Yao residence is not far from here, so it should be delivered soon."

Yao Jinsheng was sweating profusely, and despite his reluctance, he could only order someone to fetch it quickly.

To dare to renege on a debt in front of the King of Chu is tantamount to courting death!

“Since we’ve made a bet, we will never renege on our promise. But the herbal medicine shop is our life’s work. How about we settle it with silver?” Yao Jinsheng asked tentatively.
