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

When Qin Xiangheng was taken away, his face was extremely pale.

He had already instructed Qin Shuangshuang to handle the matter, and he thought everything was fine. However, Yun Xiwan happened to appear here today and heard him spouting nonsense.

This woman has completely gone mad. She's only interested in ruining him. His bright future can't be ruined like this!

"Your Highness, the King of Chu, is truly brilliant!"

When Song Ruozhen saw the King of Chu approaching, a faint smile appeared on her delicate face. It was obvious that this method was Chu Junting's idea.

In fact, the interrogation in Shuntian Prefecture had already yielded results. Yun Xiwan pointed out that it was Qin Shuangshuang who instructed her, and Qin Xiangheng was not implicated.

Because it concerned the candidates, Shuntian Prefecture did not disclose it immediately, but waited until after the imperial examination to talk about it. It just so happened that Yun Xiwan saw Qin Xiangheng's true colors today, and everything was resolved in a timely manner.

"Qin Xiangheng is of low character and is not worthy of participating in the imperial examination. If it weren't for Grand Tutor Gu's strong protection, his chance would have been cut off earlier."

However, now that this has come to light, he has no hope left.

Chu Junting's eyes were icy cold, and with just a few words, he had already erased Qin Xiangheng's achievements.

"Grand Tutor Gu is upright and honest, a rare good official. The other descendants of the Gu family are all of the same lineage, a breath of fresh air in the court. But I never expected that there would be such juniors as Qin Xiangheng and Qin Shuangshuang."

If this continues, I fear that Grand Tutor Gu will tarnish his reputation in his later years.

Upon hearing this, Song Yi'an and the others couldn't help but think of the Gu family, a family that everyone respected.

Back then, after learning about what Gu Yunwei had done, Grand Tutor Gu locked her up in his mansion and forbade her from being with General Qin.

Unfortunately, Gu Yunwei was rebellious from a young age, and her personality was completely different from the Gu family's reserved and upright nature. In the end, she became pregnant with Qin Xiangheng before marriage, and Grand Tutor Gu had no choice but to drive Gu Yunwei out.

From then on, the two families lost contact.

However, we are family after all, and blood is thicker than water.

After the incident, Gu Yunwei went to plead with Grand Tutor Gu. Although Grand Tutor Gu was furious, he couldn't bear to see Qin Xiangheng's future ruined, so he pleaded for his life.

"Grand Tutor Gu has three sons and one daughter. I heard that he used to dote on Gu Yunwei. But Gu Yunwei's personality has completely changed since she grew up. She has often angered Grand Tutor Gu and Old Madam Gu."

Yun Chengze was also aware of this matter. In the imperial court, one of the people he admired was Grand Tutor Gu.

Song Ruozhen listened to the story of Gu Taifu's family without giving it much thought, as the original book did not actually describe Gu Taifu in much detail.

In the book, Lin Zhiyue's official career is very successful, and both Qin Xiangheng and he are promoted step by step in the officialdom. The life of General Qin's mansion is getting better and better, while the Gu family, who had long severed ties with Gu Yunwei, no longer have much contact with her.

Later, when Grand Tutor Gu's health deteriorated and the Gu family's situation gradually worsened, Gu Yunwei reluctantly helped out of consideration for their past relationship.

It's less about an inseparable family bond and more like a handout.

Now, because many things have turned out differently from what's written in the book, the Gu family is offering help to Qin Xiangheng and the others at this time.

"Now that Yun Xiwan has implicated Qin Xiangheng, I'm afraid Gu Yunwei will have to ask Grand Tutor Gu for help again."

Song Ruozhen frowned slightly. Qin Shuangshuang was indeed the female lead of the original book. Her background was extremely strong. Even if the Lin family was unreliable, there was still the Qin family, not to mention the Gu family.

Chu Junting saw Song Ruozhen's hesitation and worry, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, this matter concerns the selection of talents by the imperial court, and we will not allow any back door to be opened."

No matter who intervenes, there will be no turning back.

Seeing the seriousness in the man's eyes, Song Ruozhen felt inexplicably at ease, knowing that Chu Junting was not someone who spoke without reason.

Since he said so, he can definitely do it.

Qin Xiangheng caused her second brother such a terrible situation and even stole his articles. How could she possibly let him off so easily?

Looking at her younger sister and the King of Chu's familiar demeanor, Song Yi'an couldn't help but feel curious. Given the King of Chu's aloof nature, it was simply unbelievable that he would patiently explain things to his fifth sister!

When he subconsciously turned to look at Song Zhiyu, he saw the latter blink without any surprise.

He realized that the King of Chu had feelings for his fifth sister!

"Ruozhen, my cousin and I are going to Shuntian Prefecture to see how things will develop. We'll come find you in a couple of days to celebrate properly!"

Yun Nianchu smiled. Today was a good day. Her second brother Song and her cousin had both achieved good results. It was just a pity that Yun Xiwan's matter had not been resolved yet, so she had to go there first.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "Go quickly."

Yun Chengze bid farewell to everyone before leaving with Yun Nianchu.

Song Ruozhen and her group were about to leave when they were surrounded by a group of people.

"Young Master Song, I've heard that you're not yet engaged. My daughter is of beautiful age, virtuous and kind, a perfect match for you!"

“My daughter is truly beautiful, and proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Why don’t you, Young Master Song, meet her?”

"You all step aside. A man of such outstanding talent as Young Master Song would naturally need a wife who is well-versed in poetry and literature. My daughter has loved reading since she was a child, so we're sure to get along very well!"

Urgent voices came from all directions, some even bringing portraits of their daughters, hoping to form a marriage alliance with the Song family.

Song Yi'an was a well-known talented man. When Zhao Shuwan got engaged to him, everyone thought Zhao Shuwan had gotten incredibly lucky.

Who would have thought that Zhao Shuwan would lose the big picture for a small gain, and actually break off the engagement again. Now Song Yi'an has a bright future ahead of him, and everyone hopes to marry their daughters to him, so that they can not only become the wife of an official, but also live a good life!

Song Yi'an hadn't expected to encounter such a fierce situation, so she had to politely decline everyone's advances. By the time she managed to squeeze through the crowd and onto the carriage, her clothes were all torn and disheveled.

"Second brother, Mother is already worried about your marriage. Judging from the situation today, why are you in such a hurry to run away?"

Why not take the opportunity to look at those portraits? Maybe you'll find one you like.

Song Zhiyu kept laughing. Song Yi'an, who was always elegant and charming no matter when or where, was rarely seen in such a disheveled state.

Especially the scene when he was stopped by a group of people who were vying to introduce their daughters, he would definitely have to have a good talk with his mother when he got back.

Song Yi'an looked helpless. "I've never seen you so interested in this kind of thing before. Could it be that you've fallen for someone and want to get married?"

"Second brother, this is about you, what does it have to do with me?"

Song Zhiyu quickly waved his hand. With his burly appearance, he was far from his second brother's. What girl would like him?

"You're not bad at all, there's bound to be girls who like you."

Song Yi'an guessed Song Zhiyu's thoughts. He felt that although his third brother was not very smart, he was honest and simple, unlike others who had so many tricks up their sleeves. Surely a girl would recognize his talent.

As for himself, after what happened before, he has no plans in that regard for the time being.
