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

Chapter 130

"Sister, why don't you take us with you when you go?"

Liu Feiyan was a little worried. In the past, she wouldn't have had anything to worry about, but recently she had discovered that Song Ruozhen was full of tricks.

Whether it was the matter of the conman or her last visit to the manor, she hadn't gained any advantage whatsoever.

That swindler cheated Liu Ruyan out of 100,000 taels of silver, and she also got 50,000 taels of silver. She lived a carefree life and bought back all the jewelry she had previously set her sights on.

Who would have thought that after Song Ruozhen exposed his trickery, the conman was not only thrown into jail, but was also forced to return all the money.

Startled, she quickly sold her jewelry and even used some of her own money to make ends meet, leaving her in dire financial straits lately.

The silver notes were taken out to help Hanfei make arrangements. He thought that since his mother was coming, he could cry and play the victim to squeeze some silver out of Liu Ruyan.

Who would have thought... that Song Zhiyu and his sister would hold them back, leaving them no choice but to hand over the silver notes. What a huge loss!

"That's probably not appropriate. The person who came earlier said that only those who received the invitation can go."

Liu Ruyan looked helpless, but her refusal was extremely decisive.

"The purpose of this trip is to mediate between you. If we rashly take you there and anger the Prince of Xiang's mansion, not only will we be unable to plead for Hanfei, but we might also offend the Prince of Xiang himself."

Liu Feiyan was somewhat unwilling, "But I..."

"Feiyan, your sister is right. You shouldn't get involved in the banquet at the Prince of Xiang's residence."

Mother Liu understood the importance of the matter and stopped Liu Feiyan.

Liu Feiyan had no choice but to give up. Then, remembering the rumors she had heard today, she said, "Sister, I heard that a few days ago, the second young lady of the Luo family and the young master of the Yao family were on a date, but Yan Zhou ruined it?"

"The rumors circulating outside these days are not pleasant. They say that Yan Zhou's legs are crippled, but his mind is still full of ideas."

Knowing that the second daughter of the Luo family was getting married, he hurriedly divorced Fan Siying, intending to marry her instead. His excuses were truly appalling.

Song Ruozhen glanced at Liu Feiyan and, seeing how vividly she described it, couldn't help but say, "Aunt, the story of the Dong family that day has been widely circulated, and many people have witnessed it."

My elder brother only went to the Dong family's peach blossom banquet and did not ruin Sister Luo and Yao Jinsheng's matchmaking. At most, the two just happened to bump into each other at the banquet.

"Fan Siying has already been kicked out of the Dong family. From what you're saying, it sounds like you're deliberately distorting the facts."

Liu Feiyan paused, then retorted, "I only heard this from others, but flies don't land on eggs without cracks."

Yan Zhou was engaged to the second daughter of the Luo family before, but later married Fan Siying. Now, he's just divorced and is already involved with her again. It won't sound good if word gets out, so I'm just giving him a friendly reminder.

"Feiyan is right. Yanzhou just got divorced. Although the Fan family did make a mistake, there's a saying that even a night of marriage can be a hundred days of kindness. Since they've already divorced, let's just let it go."

The Yao family is of high status; there's no need to offend them over something so baseless. Besides, both families are interested in a marriage alliance, and Yan Zhou's interference would only make them a laughingstock.

Mother Liu put on a stern face, "Don't think I don't know. Yan Zhou hasn't gone out during this time, but he went to the banquet when the second young lady of the Luo family attended. He clearly hasn't given up on this idea."

It's one thing if the child can't tell the difference at first, but as a mother, you need to discipline them more. How can you let them run wild?

Liu Ruyan frowned slightly. She wanted to refute, but considering Luo Qingyin's reputation, she didn't say it.

When we met last time, we made it clear that even if the two families were truly interested in getting engaged, the Yao family's affairs had to be resolved first.

It's not too late to get together after things calm down a bit.

If word gets out from the Song family now, it will only give the Luo family a bad impression and ruin the relationship between Yan Zhou and Qing Yin.

Song Ruozhen looked at her third brother. Others might have reservations, but her third brother did not.

“Since Yao Jinsheng has already met Miss Luo, and my elder brother was just attending the banquet and didn’t say much, how could this ruin their marriage? This marriage is too fragile.”

Aunt, why do you always spread rumors? My mother's health is already poor, and you're making her worry about these kinds of rumors.

So, I heard the other day that my cousin Yanran and Lin Zhiyue were getting quite close. Could it be that my cousin is really trying to become his concubine?

Upon hearing this, Liu Feiyan's face stiffened, and she said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a thing happen?"

"I heard this from someone else. It sounded very convincing and didn't seem fake, but I thought my cousin Yanran wouldn't do such a thing, so I didn't tell you."

Mother Liu was also swayed by this news and looked anxiously at Liu Feiyan, "Are you aware of this matter?"

"I really don't know." Liu Feiyan's eyes flickered as she argued, "Lin Zhiyue has nothing now, how could Yanran possibly be interested in him?"

Mother Liu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Lin Zhiyue was indeed good before, but now he's lost his official position and title. And Qin Shuangshuang is no pushover either. If Yanran really falls for him, wouldn't we be doomed!"

"Don't worry, Mother, it won't happen."

Liu Feiyan patted her chest and assured everyone that this would never happen, unaware that Sun Yanran was troubled by the same thing.

"Ginkgo, I only started thinking about Lin Zhiyue because he was a rising star in the court and my cousin's fiancé."

If I could marry him, it would be a life of luxury, and my cousin would be jealous of me. But now he has nothing left. What am I going to do?

"Miss, I think we should just forget about it. Young Master Lin has lost everything now, and I heard that the Lin family is dirt poor."

"If you marry him, you'll definitely have a hard life," Ginkgo advised.

Sun Yanran sighed. She had gone to great lengths to get close to Lin Zhiyue, and after getting to know him, she discovered his unique charm and fell deeply in love with him.

Now he even promised her that he would make a comeback soon, and that she could live a good life with him, which made her tempted.

"But I always felt that he was no ordinary person, and besides, at worst he could go back to the battlefield and earn merit again."

Sun Yanran looked like a young girl in love, her mind filled with images of Lin Zhiyue's gentleness.

"It's all my cousin's fault. It's one thing to be petty and break off the engagement, but why did she have to push him to the brink and make him like this? What good does it do her?"

Suddenly, someone came in from outside. Ginkgo went out and soon handed a letter to Sun Yanran.

"Miss, this is a letter from Young Master Lin."

……

With the help of Song Ruozhen and Song Zhiyu, Liu Feiyan left with her mother, her face ashen. She didn't even have lunch and left resolutely, full of anger.

Song Ruozhen pretended to try to persuade them to stay, but after watching the two disappear from sight, she revealed a playful smile.

Is this a tactic of creating trouble out of nothing?

Can't the brother and sister do that?
