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

The night was as dark as thick ink, and all around was silent. Even though candles were lit in the courtyard, the sudden scream of Lü Chengxiu still startled everyone.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Junyu and his brother rushed into the house and saw Lü Chengxiu gripping his own neck tightly with both hands, his eyes bulging out in terror, as if he were about to strangle himself to death.

"Mother, don't scare us!"

Bai Juntao's eyes were filled with horror, and he stood there, not daring to take a single step closer.

"Quick, doctor, come and take a look at my mother!" Bai Junyu shouted anxiously.

Seeing this bizarre scene, the doctors dared not approach and fled in panic, shouting:

"Haunted!"

"It's haunted!"

Bai Junyu felt a surge of anger and could only rush forward, calling out to Bai Juntao to pry open Lü Chengxiu's hands together. However, they discovered that Lü Chengxiu's strength was extraordinary, even more so than the two of them.

The next instant, Lü Chengxiu suddenly grabbed Bai Junyu by the neck, her eyes filled with utter hatred.

"Yu Yueling, you should have died long ago! Why are you still haunting me?! Die!"

"boom!"

Lu Chengxiu collapsed with a thud. Bai Juntao quickly dropped the teacup in his hand and explained with a pale face, "Second brother, I was trying to save you."

Bai Junyu, still in shock and panting heavily, looked at Lü Chengxiu lying on the ground, his heart filled with fear.

"If it weren't for you, I would be dead."

However, while the two were talking, Lü Chengxiu slowly woke up, and the two were so frightened that they quickly ran back.

"Junyu, Juntao, quick, take me to Song Ruozhen!"

Lu Chengxiu's eyes were filled with deep terror. Having experienced it firsthand, she dared not doubt it anymore. Now, only Song Ruozhen could save her!

……

Xu family.

“Young Master Xu, everything I said is true. Song Ruozhen is a vixen. You must not be bewitched by her!”

He Xiangning finally found an opportunity to meet Xu He'an, and immediately embellished the story of Song Ruozhen's appointment with the King of Chu.

“Miss He, I trust Miss Song and the King of Chu. Please leave.”

Xu He'an frowned slightly. He Xiangning had come to say such things to him out of the blue. It seemed that the lesson from the last banquet was not enough, and she had even started to hold a grudge against Miss Song because of it.

"I'm doing this for your own good!" He Xiangning couldn't help but feel anxious. "Song Ruozhen clearly knows that you have feelings for her, yet she has an ambiguous relationship with the Prince of Chu. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came to inform you."

As she spoke, He Xiangning lowered her head, looking aggrieved, and said:

"I know what happened last time made you have a bad impression of me, but we've known each other for so long, I would never hurt you."

"Just this once, come with me tonight and see for yourself. If I'm lying, I'll never bother you again!"

Seeing that He Xiangning was persistent, Xu He'an's eyes flashed with deep impatience.

"My relationship with Miss Song is completely innocent, and we are not engaged. Even if she is indeed getting close to the King of Chu, that is perfectly acceptable. What right do I have to interfere?"

As a scholar, he naturally had basic manners and a sense of shame. He did indeed admire Song Ruozhen, but things were still far from settled, so what kind of idea was it to catch them in the act?

Absolutely ridiculous!

"I advise you not to act recklessly. The last incident was a lesson to be learned. If you continue to cause trouble and anger the King of Chu, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

He Xiangning never expected that even after she had said all that, Xu He'an would still defend Song Ruozhen and wouldn't even go to see her. She felt incredibly frustrated.

"Not only did I hear about this, but Shuangshuang also heard about it. They've probably already left by now."

Xu He'an's expression changed slightly. "What?"

In the next instant, Xu He'an didn't have time to say anything more and hurriedly rushed towards the Song family.

The attack on Yun Chengze today is very likely related to the Qin family. Qin Shuangshuang already has a grudge against Song Ruozhen. If she seizes the opportunity tonight, who knows what will be said tomorrow.

……

"Knock knock knock."

The gates of the Song residence were pounded on loudly. When the guards opened the gates, they were astonished to see Bai Junyu and his group in a hurry.

"We want to see Song Ruozhen! Let us in quickly!"

Bai Junyu was extremely anxious. If this matter wasn't resolved quickly, they might not be able to save their lives!

The servants of the Song family exchanged glances, remembering their young mistress's previous instructions, and did not stop them.

However, not long after Bai Junyu and his group entered the Song family, Bai Zimu and Bai Chenghong arrived after hearing the news.

They didn't expect Bai Junyu and his group to act so recklessly, with a large group of people coming to the Song residence at night. What was going on?

In the brightly lit courtyard, Liu Ruyan and the others had heard about this from Song Ruozhen before, but when they saw Lü Chengxiu's pale face and empty eyes, their hearts skipped a beat.

Is this the consequence of committing evil deeds?

That's really too creepy...

"Madam Song, I apologize for disturbing you today."

Bai Chenghong's face was full of apology. Visiting so late at night was already inappropriate, let alone barging in without even sending a visiting card.

Before she could finish the sentence, "It's alright..." Lü Chengxiu anxiously called out to Song Ruozhen, "Quickly, help me resolve this!"

Song Ruozhen glanced at Lü Chengxiu. Even after all this, he still hadn't learned the most basic manners?

"Why should I help you resolve this?" Song Ruozhen asked in return.

"You must be playing tricks on me. I've been tortured so badly, and you've achieved your goal. What more do you want?"

Lu Chengxiu glared fiercely at Song Ruozhen, then her gaze fell on Chu Junting, before she gave Bai Zimu a vicious look.

"I never expected you to go to such lengths to avenge your mother, even inviting the King of Chu. And you still say it wasn't all a staged performance?"

“Your Highness, look at this unfilial son. I have raised him for so many years and nurtured him into a talented person with such achievements, but how has he treated me?”

Would you really dare to give such an ungrateful person an important position?

Bai Zimu's face turned ashen. "It was clearly your doing that caused the deaths of my mother and Granny Xu!"

"I didn't!" Lü Chengxiu still denied it.

“Madam Bai, I told you before that if this is not resolved by tonight, you will surely die within three days.”

Even if you come begging now, it's no use. Your fate is sealed; there's no saving you.

Song Ruozhen's eyes were cold. She had done so many bad things, she deserved her retribution.

Such people deserve to die and are not worth saving.

Bai Junyu's face turned pale. "How is this possible? Whatever you want, we will do our best to give it to you, as long as you can save my mother!"

Song Ruozhen glanced at the incorrigible Lü Chengxiu, then slowly stepped forward and took her hand.

She reached out and drew a talisman on Lü Chengxiu's palm. Everyone vaguely saw a flash of light, followed by a winding black line that appeared on Lü Chengxiu's palm.

"See this line? The day it reaches your fingertips will be the day you die!"
