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

As Song Ruozhen finished speaking, everyone frowned, feeling that she was being extremely aggressive, but they had no idea what the so-called filth was.

However, Master Tianshui's expression changed when she heard this. How could she know these things?

Could she really understand feng shui? That's impossible!

The moment the idea popped into his head, Master Tianshui dismissed it without hesitation. If he really knew, he would have discovered it long ago. How could he only be settling accounts now?

"What are you doing?"

A voice tinged with anger rang out, followed immediately by a soft, sweet voice.

"My lord, please don't be angry. There may be some misunderstanding."

Qin Shuangshuang's pretty face looked completely innocent, and her gaze towards Song Ruozhen was filled with worry. "Miss Song must be in a bad mood to be acting up. Don't take it to heart."

"Song Ruozhen, I already apologized to you yesterday. It was you who didn't want to marry me. Why are you still trying to smear Shuangshuang now?"

Song Ruozhen turned her gaze and met Lin Zhiyue's questioning look. "What does my competition with Master Tianshui have to do with Qin Shuangshuang? Is Lin Hou out of his mind, having to meddle in everything to seek attention?"

The woman's words were sharp and merciless, making Lin Zhiyue feel embarrassed. His voice grew increasingly gloomy: "You know perfectly well that Master Tianshui was invited back by Shuangshuang, yet you still insist on causing trouble for him. What else is this but slandering Shuangshuang?"

The Tianshui master calculated the feng shui for the Song family to help change their fortune, but you, instead, accused him of burying filth in your house. This is more than just dirty water; it's downright slander!

Qin Shuangshuang, standing to the side, bit her lip, her pretty face showing grievance. "I understand that Miss Song is unhappy because I am by the Marquis's side, but I really have no intention of harming you. I hope you can believe me. I want to live in peace with you."

"So Master Tianshui was invited by Miss Qin?"

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows. She had suspected this before, but the information she had heard said that Liu Feiyan had specially invited her. She thought that it would take some effort to expose the relationship between Qin Shuangshuang and Master Tianshui, but she didn't expect this woman to admit it directly, which saved her a lot of trouble.

"You clearly knew all along, so what are you pretending for?"

Lin Zhiyue's face was ashen. He still felt a little guilty towards Song Ruozhen last night. Today, Shuangshuang saw that he was in a bad mood, so she specially came to ask Master Tianshui for guidance. Unexpectedly, she stumbled upon Song Ruozhen's unreasonable behavior.

He thought she was truly honest, but he never expected her to resort to such underhanded tactics. Apart from being a member of the Song family, she had absolutely nothing to offer!

Narrow-minded, selfish, and malicious, even if he could break Song Ruozhen's cursed fate, he would no longer be willing to help her. Such a girl would only bring unrest to the family if he married her.

"What does it matter to you whether I'm pretending or not? Why do you have to tell me what to do? According to you, I can't say a bad word about the shops that you, Lin Hou, have praised, or the pastries that Qin Shuangshuang has eaten, otherwise it would be me deliberately causing trouble for you."

Before today, I didn't even know if Qin Shuangshuang was in the capital. If I wanted trouble, I would have gone directly to her. Why bother with a conman?

Everyone saw that Song Ruozhen's words made perfect sense. Judging from the temperament that Miss Song was showing at this moment, she was not the kind of person who would swallow her anger. Going to great lengths to slander Qin Shuangshuang by targeting Master Tianshui was indeed taking a roundabout approach.

"Who are you calling a con artist? That's slander!"

Master Tianshui was getting anxious when Song Ruozhen kept calling him a charlatan. He was making a fortune in the capital and was in the middle of a good time. If he was slandered, how would he make money in the future?

"Master Tianshui is a truly capable person whom Shuangshuang invited. Your slander is going too far!"

When Song Ruozhen saw that the beaded bracelet on Lin Zhiyue's hand had been removed, a playful glint flashed in her clear eyes. "Lord Lin, why aren't you wearing the beaded bracelet on your hand? Miss Qin carefully selected this bracelet, it must be very valuable. Do you know it's not good, so you're not wearing it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyue was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but look at Qin Shuangshuang.

He told Song Yi'an about the bracelet when he got home last night. Since it was a token of Shuangshuang's goodwill, he decided to keep it for himself. It was quite unique because it felt cool to the touch.

Unexpectedly, after Shuangshuang saw it, she asked him to take off the bracelet. He asked her a few more questions, and Shuangshuang cried sadly.

Hearing Song Ruozhen's words, he couldn't help but wonder if there was something special about this bracelet.

"No, no." Qin Shuangshuang quickly denied, "I just thought that Miss Song must have felt that I didn't choose well when she returned the bracelet, and that's why she was sad and didn't let the Marquis wear it."

Seeing that the woman was about to start crying again, Song Ruozhen raised her hand to interrupt her, "There's no need to cry. I arranged our marriage two years ago, and the gifts my husband sent were chosen by you. I didn't cry then, so what do you have to cry about?"

Lin Zhiyue was about to defend Qin Shuangshuang when he heard this and paused.

The others also unconsciously came to their senses. They had previously thought Song Ruozhen was aggressive, but now that they thought about it carefully, they realized that she was the one who had been engaged two years ago, yet the betrothal gifts were all chosen by other women. She was clearly the legal wife, yet she was being treated as a concubine. No one could accept that.

Qin Shuangshuang was furious, but she forced back the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Lord Lin, since you think I'm slandering you, why don't we make a bet?"

"You speak," Lin Zhiyue said in a deep voice.

"If I beat this charlatan, you must go back and wear that string of beads on your wrist for a month without taking it off. If I lose, I will apologize to Miss Qin. How about that?"

“Okay, you said it!” Lin Zhiyue agreed without hesitation.

Qin Shuangshuang's heart tightened upon hearing Song Ruozhen's words, but it was too late to stop Lin Zhiyue.

"Then it's settled. I hope Lord Lin will keep his word!" Song Ruozhen's lips curled slightly, and her playful gaze swept over Qin Shuangshuang.

They're both ancient fox spirits, why bother playing these ghost stories with her!

Qin Shuangshuang met Song Ruozhen's gaze, her heart filled with suspicion and uncertainty. Wasn't Song Ruozhen supposed to be a naive young lady who knew nothing of the world? How could she know all this? Could it be that someone had leaked the information?

She put a lot of effort into that bracelet; it absolutely cannot be worn on the Marquis's hand!

“Madam Xu, write down a word, and I will calculate it for you.”

Master Tianshui glared coldly at Song Ruozhen before turning to Madam Xu.

Madam Xu picked up her brush and wrote the character "困" (kùn, meaning trapped/trapped).

Qin Shuangshuang glanced at Master Tianshui and gave him a look. No matter what, she had to suppress Song Ruozhen today and let everyone see this woman's unreasonable and disruptive side!
