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

A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Ruyan's face. She had indeed sensed that the Xu family had this intention at the family reunion banquet, but she was not sure about the children's feelings.

The two children had only gone boating once and stumbled upon Qin Xiangheng and Zhao Shuwan's scandalous affair, after which nothing more happened, so she assumed there was no hope left.

Unexpectedly, Xu He'an admitted to this matter in front of them today?

He Xiangning and Qin Shuangshuang both stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Xu He'an came from a prominent family and had a bright future; everyone said he had the potential to become a prime minister.

Given his status and future prospects, why would he tell everyone that he has a one-sided crush on Song Ruozhen?

Chu Junting's relaxed expression turned gloomy the moment he heard Xu He'an's words, and the shadow in his eyes lingered.

Xu He'an, you're really something!

Yunyang was relentlessly beating Xu He'an with the cane when his heart skipped a beat the moment Xu He'an uttered those words.

Has Xu He'an eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard?!

He had followed the prince for many years and knew the prince's temperament all too well. Although he hadn't known Miss Song for very long, the fact that the prince had met her three or four times and even held her in his arms was enough to prove that she was extraordinary!

Xu He'an... he's trying to steal a girl from his own prince!

Liu Ruyan smiled; she had been worried about Zhen'er's marriage all along.

She should have gotten married two years ago, but Lin Zhiyue went to the battlefield, which is why it has been delayed until now.

Now that the engagement has been called off, and she is already quite old, it is not easy for her to find a good family to marry into again. The Xu family is undoubtedly the best choice at present.

At this moment, Xu He'an expressed his feelings in front of them, which shows his sincerity. As long as Zhen'er is willing, then the marriage can be put on the agenda!

Qin Shuangshuang, who was being beaten, changed her expression again and again. She didn't expect Xu He'an to be such a brainless person. Song Ruozhen was first engaged to Lin Zhiyue, and now she has a close relationship with the Prince of Chu. He actually wants to marry Song Ruozhen.

That bitch is no match for him.

You're blind!

Song Ruozhen was stunned to hear Xu He'an confess his feelings while she was pretending to faint!

She and Xu He'an had only met a few times, yet he wanted to marry her?

Song Ruozhen quickly opened her eyes and met Chu Junting's dark and deep gaze. His deep eyes, as dark as ink, were filled with complex emotions that she could not see clearly.

She struggled for a moment, trying to get Chu Junting to put her down.

Unexpectedly, Chu Junting's hands were as strong as steel, and he had to whisper, "Your Highness, you can put me down now!"

Seeing the urgency on the woman's fair face, Chu Junting's irritation reached its peak, and the ferocious beast trapped in the cage almost burst out at this moment.

Is she in such a hurry because she really wants to marry Xu He'an?

Just when Song Ruozhen thought Chu Junting would put her down, she suddenly realized that the man was carrying her and walking away.

"???"

Whether this marriage will go through or not depends on Miss Song's wishes. She is currently unconscious, so Young Master Xu need not be in a hurry.

Upon hearing this, Xu He'an unconsciously looked at Chu Junting. As a fellow man, he keenly sensed that the King of Chu also seemed to have feelings for Miss Song.

He had dealt with the King of Chu in the court more than once, and in fact, his repeated trips with Song Ruozhen already signified something different.

However, the King of Chu's status is too noble. Among all the princes, the King of Chu is the most prominent and capable. The Empress would never allow a woman like Miss Song, who had been divorced, to become the King of Chu's consort.

Even if the King of Chu insisted on marrying her, she could only be a concubine. Based on his understanding of Miss Song, he believed she would not want to be a concubine.

Therefore, he may not necessarily be without a chance.

Bai Chenghong witnessed this scene and was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that the girl from the Song family was so capable.

Many people in the capital misjudged her, thinking that a girl who had broken off her engagement would never be able to marry into a good family, but now she has actually attracted the attention of the King of Chu and Xu He'an.

No matter who she marries, it will be a good family that ordinary girls can only dream of.

Given Xu He'an's status, his willingness to compete with the King of Chu for a woman shows that he truly loves her.

Song Yanzhou watched Chu Junting's retreating figure as he carried his younger sister away. So much time had passed since the incident, and his sister had been feigning unconsciousness, yet the King of Chu had shown no intention of putting her down...

Even though the King of Chu was highly skilled in martial arts and it wouldn't be difficult for him to carry a girl, Xu He'an had already expressed his feelings in front of everyone.

If the King of Chu had no interest in his fifth sister, he would have put her down by now. But he didn't, which suggests that the King of Chu has truly developed feelings for his fifth sister...

Qin Shuangshuang endured the excruciating pain from her mouth; her entire face was swollen from the beating. The Song family's nanny was deliberately torturing her, showing no mercy whatsoever.

She felt like her face had been slapped raw!

However, when she saw Chu Junting carrying Song Ruozhen past, she clearly noticed that Song Ruozhen had woken up and was even struggling to get down, but the King of Chu showed no intention of putting her down.

At that moment, her heart sank, filled with an indescribable terror.

What makes Song Ruozhen worthy of the King of Chu's favor? This is absolutely unacceptable!

Once she becomes the Queen Consort of Chu, then her and Zhiyue's desire to make a comeback will be nothing short of a joke!

She suddenly realized that the King of Chu, Xu He'an, and even Xiao Yize were all interested in Song Ruozhen, and she couldn't delay any longer!

She wanted to completely ruin Song Ruozhen, cut off all her opportunities, send her to a beggar's den, and once she was defiled, these men would never like her again!

On the carriage.

Song Ruozhen looked at the man in front of her, her clear eyes filled with confusion.

"Your Highness, why didn't you let me down just now?"

Chu Junting glanced at her coldly, his dark, deep eyes flashing with a hint of ferocity, and he forced himself to speak:

"Why would I let you down there? To agree to Xu He'an's marriage proposal? A young lady should be more reserved; why rush into it?"

Song Ruozhen never intended to agree to Xu He'an's proposal. They had only met a few times, and besides, she hadn't had enough of her carefree life yet. It would be pointless to get married like this.

However, upon hearing Chu Junting's words, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Xu He'an took the initiative to say he liked me today, so how am I being too eager for him?"

"Both of us are unmarried. Even if it were Young Master Zhang or Young Master Li who asked to marry me, it would be perfectly reasonable for me to agree. What's wrong with that? Why is Your Highness criticizing me for no reason?"

Chu Junting laughed in exasperation, "I had no idea that you knew so many young masters besides Xu He'an?"

"Of course. Putting aside everything else, didn't you also see Young Master Xiao last time?"

There are plenty of young men who admire me. It was truly my fault for being blind to have taken a liking to Lin Zhiyue before, but I'm not one to chase after people like that now!

Song Ruozhen spoke with righteous indignation. She had taken the blame for the original owner's mistakes, but she would never allow anyone to shift the blame onto her!

"How could you say something like 'Xiao Yize'?" Chu Junting asked incredulously.
