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

Liu Ruyan sighed deeply, "Jing Shen just won't listen to advice. If that Miss Ke were a well-behaved person, I wouldn't say anything, but I heard that she's getting quite close to the young master of the Qu family."

“I’ve also heard about this. It seems the Ke family is planning to form a marriage alliance with the Qu family, but there’s no concrete information yet,” Song Yi’an said in a deep voice.

The brothers have always had a good relationship, and Jing Shen knows very well how much he likes Ke Yuanzhi.

I tried to persuade him before, but Jing Shen listened to everything else, but he wouldn't listen to Ke Yuanzhi unless he hit a brick wall.

Seeing that he had put it this way, his brothers couldn't bring themselves to tell him to give up. However, it was really unwise of him to go so far for Ke Yuanzhi!

“Although Jing Shen has acted foolishly and recklessly before, so many things have happened in the manor recently, and the imperial examinations are over. There’s no way he wouldn’t come back. Could something have happened to him?”

After her initial anger subsided, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but worry. She had previously sent a letter saying that she was delayed by something and couldn't return for the time being. But even if it was a troublesome matter, there should be news by now.

Song Ruozhen knew that her fourth brother was a hopeless romantic. Despite being good-looking, from a good family, and talented, he was hopelessly infatuated with Ke Yuanzhi and couldn't be pulled back by nine oxen.

On his journey to find pearls in the South China Sea, he encountered bandits and was injured, but luckily he was rescued and returned after some time was delayed.

Ke Yuanzhi had never thought much of Song Jingshen, but because Song Jingshen treated her well and gave her whatever she wanted, he was a perfect simp who was rich and obedient, so she naturally couldn't bear to throw him away easily.

However, she was still determined to be an official's wife, so she was just trying to squeeze Song Jingshen's value out of him.

In the original book, after Song Jingshen returned injured, he still gave the South China Sea pearl to Ke Yuanzhi, but Ke Yuanzhi scolded him for taking so long to find something, saying he was a good-for-nothing.

Song Jingshen quickly apologized and made amends, sending a bunch of gifts, but Ke Yuanzhi still disliked his inability to pass the imperial examinations and chose to marry Qu Kuo of the Qu family.

After Ke Yuanzhi got married, Song Jingshen was heartbroken and remained silent for a while.

Unexpectedly, after getting married, Ke Yuanzhi complained that the Qu family was not as wealthy as the Song family. Before, she had Song Jingshen to coax her, and her food, clothing and daily necessities were all top-notch.

After all, Song Jingshen was good at business, and he could get his hands on all sorts of novel and rare things as soon as possible. So she started looking for opportunities to flirt with Song Jingshen again, and even cried and accused him of being defiled by Qu Kuo and being forced to marry him.

Upon hearing this, Song Jingshen felt even more heartbroken for her and vowed to seek justice for Ru Keyuanzhi.

Ke Yuanzhi was naturally surprised that Song Jingshen had gone so far as to confront Qu Kuo. Fearing that the truth would be revealed, she quickly denied it and even counter-accused Song Jingshen of having designs on her, which led to Song Jingshen being sentenced to exile and never being able to return to the capital.

Thinking about what was written in the original book, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but facepalm, with only one thought in her mind—a top-tier love-obsessed person is beyond saving.

As the head of the Xuanmen sect, she had encountered romantic infatuations before; on the contrary, she had encountered them many times.

So many people are trapped by love, unable to see through the illusions of this world. Even when the other person is not sincere or has been using them from the beginning, they just can't see it.

His family and friends tried to enlighten him, but he insisted that others didn't understand his world.

If Song Jingshen really looks like this when he returns, then this illness will be much more difficult to cure than the illnesses of his eldest and second eldest brothers.

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother will be back soon, Mother."

Song Ruozhen quickly calculated with her fingers and indicated to her mother that there was no need to worry.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief. She had no doubt about her daughter's abilities. "That's good."

"When he comes back this time, we must give him a warning and make sure we don't let him continue like this!"

Everyone nodded in agreement; they really needed to find a way to properly persuade them and prevent things from continuing like this.

"Fifth sister, since you can even predict such things, why don't you predict your own marriage?" Song Zhiyu asked curiously.

The others also turned to look at Song Ruozhen. With such amazing skills, wouldn't she be able to predict everything with just a calculation?

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "Metaphysical arts can indeed predict the future, but there's one thing: they can't predict one's own fate."

All those in the Xuanmen sect are like this.

Everyone suddenly realized that doctors cannot heal themselves, and those who help others cannot help themselves.

This is not hard to understand; if one can predict one's own situation, then everything will truly go smoothly.

Because Song Ruozhen predicted that Song Jingshen would return soon, Liu Ruyan and Song Yanzhou agreed to wait until Song Jingshen returned before proposing marriage, so that the whole family could be together.

As Song Ruozhen returned to the house, she saw that Chen Xiang was secretly watching her, as if she had something to say but dared not speak.

"Chenxiang, just say what you want to say, don't keep it bottled up."

"Miss, I think His Highness the Prince of Chu is interested in you. Don't you like His Highness the Prince of Chu?"

Chenxiang couldn't help but wonder, His Highness the Prince of Chu was the ideal husband in the hearts of countless young ladies in the capital, but unfortunately, they were all too high up to reach him, and no one could catch his eye.

But she felt that the King of Chu treated her mistress differently, and that her mistress and the King of Chu got along very well, if it weren't for Miss Tang's sudden appearance tonight...

Song Ruozhen thought for a moment and said, "The King of Chu is indeed a very good person, but as you can see, he is discussing marriage with Miss Tang."

You know how Qin Shuangshuang interfered and ruined my marriage. I despise Qin Shuangshuang's methods, so how could I do such a thing myself?

"Leaving aside the fact that I haven't reached the point of mutual affection with the King of Chu, even if we had, there's always a hierarchy of things, don't you think?"

In the original book, the description of Chu Junting mostly focuses on how Qin Shuangshuang was obsessed with him in the early stages, and later on, all that is known is that he has extraordinary abilities, and he does not appear very often.

Its main function is to make Lin Zhiyue jealous from time to time; as for its romantic relationships, she has no idea.

The storyline has obviously changed quite a bit since then. She did try to divine Chu Junting using the I Ching, but because of his extremely strong luck, she encountered obstacles when she tried to divine.

“But this servant thinks that His Highness the Prince of Chu doesn’t like Miss Tang at all, otherwise he wouldn’t be acting this way today,” Chenxiang said anxiously.

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "Silly girl, these things can't be rushed. What's yours will eventually be yours, and what's not yours will be useless if you force it."

If someone truly likes you, they will always find a way to be by your side; if they don't, the relationship will end after a few steps.

She couldn't foresee her own path, nor could she predict Chu Junting's romantic future, so she decided to let things take their course.

Chenxiang was confused. Although she felt it was a pity that her young lady did not seize the opportunity immediately, she also understood that her young lady was a person with her own ideas.

"Alright, get some rest. We have to go to the palace tomorrow." Song Ruozhen closed her eyes, feeling rather tired today.

Chenxiang was taken aback. "Miss, why do you want to go to the palace?"

When we came back today, Madam didn't mention it. Even if we were to go to the palace, it should be the Second Young Master. What would Miss be doing in the palace?
