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

As soon as he returned to the Song family home, Song Jingshen noticed that everyone's eyes were on him, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"Mother, second brother, third brother, fifth sister, why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Jing Shen, tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"

Liu Ruyan frowned. She knew her son's temperament all too well; he was practically unyielding. His sudden change of heart today was truly unbelievable.

Song Jingshen scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed. "Actually, I was injured before, so I can't remember some things."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned; they had considered many possibilities but had never thought of this one.

As Song Jingshen recounted his experience, everyone learned that he had been attacked and injured on his way to the South China Sea to search for pearls, and had been swept into the waves. Fortunately, he was rescued by nearby fishermen.

He was unconscious for a while before waking up, but unfortunately, he hit his head on a rock and his memory was impaired; he couldn't remember who he was.

His memory only returned a month ago, which is why he rushed back.

Liu Ruyan felt both heartache and relief, and couldn't help but blame:

"You child, why did you have to go to the South China Sea to look for pearls? And you even made them keep it from me. Luckily, God gave you a second chance at life, otherwise what would have happened?"

“Mother, it was all my fault this time. I will never do such a thing again.”

Song Jingshen was filled with regret. Thinking back on what had happened, even he couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

If he had been unlucky and hadn't encountered a kind person to rescue him, he would have been dead long ago, and even his bones would have been fed to the fish.

"You're saying the reason I went to the South China Sea was to find pearls for Ke Yuanzhi? I just don't believe it."

Song Jingshen looked suspicious. He could hardly believe that he would risk his life for such a girl, secretly going to the South China Sea without telling his family, just to find the best pearls to please her.

If it were a girl who was completely devoted to him, that would be one thing, but he had personally witnessed Ke Yuanzhi and Qu Kuo behaving intimately, and when she spoke to him, she showed no concern whatsoever, instead placing all the blame on him!

Song Zhiyu mercilessly exposed Song Jingshen's thoughts, "Would I lie to you? Would Mother and Second Brother lie to you?"

You were like you were under a spell, completely obsessed with Miss Ke, ignoring everything we said. If I weren't worried about us brothers turning against each other, I would have locked you up in the manor long ago and forced you to break off all contact with her.

"Third Brother, you always like to lie to me, I don't believe what you're saying," Song Jingshen said.

Song Zhiyu: "???" This guy may have lost some of his memory, but he's still just as shameless as ever!

Song Jingshen turned to look at Song Yi'an and Song Ruozhen, "Tell me, how could my taste be so bad? How could I possibly like a girl like that and be so deeply in love with her?"

Song Ruozhen: "..."

Song Yi'an: "...Having amnesia doesn't seem to be entirely a bad thing?"

As Song Ruozhen and the others recounted the events, Song Jingshen's eyes widened as he gradually came to accept that he had indeed done so many foolish things in a moment of folly for a girl.

Song Jingshen took out the South China Sea pearls he had brought back, his expression particularly complex.

"I thought I went to the South China Sea to find pearls as a gift for my mother because her birthday was coming up. Turns out I did it all for Ke Yuanzhi?"

Song Jingshen clicked his tongue in disbelief, utterly at a loss for words to describe his feelings at that moment. Only one thought occupied his mind—how had he gone blind before?

Liu Ruyan: "..." Amnesiac turned into a filial son?

Only after everyone had gone back to rest did Liu Ruyan turn to Song Ruozhen and ask, "Zhen'er, how is your fourth brother's condition after you took his pulse?"

"Fourth Brother's pulse is normal, and he is in good health. He's just been traveling a lot these past few days, so he'll be fine after a rest," Song Ruozhen replied.

Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help worrying, "When will your fourth brother recover from his amnesia?"

Song Yi'an and Song Zhiyu were also very concerned about this issue. After their conversation, they discovered that Song Jingshen remembered everything else very clearly, except for forgetting about Ke Yuanzhi.

Song Ruozhen shrugged, "He injured his head, and there's some bruising that hasn't completely healed, so some of his memories are unclear. It'll be fine once it heals in a while."

"Doesn't that mean he'll regret it after his memory returns?"

Liu Ruyan's face turned pale; this was not good news!

If they regret everything they've done now, they'll probably try every means to make amends, and they might even blame them...

Song Zhiyu sighed deeply, "I think Jing Shen is fine as he is now. Fifth sister, do you have any way to keep Fourth Brother like this, and prevent him from recovering what shouldn't be recovered?"

There was a moment of silence after these words were spoken.

Immediately afterward, Song Yi'an nodded, "I also think this is a good idea. Is there such a method?"

Liu Ruyan: "How about... we give it a try?"

Seeing the three people staring at her with bright eyes, Song Ruozhen paused for a moment and asked, "...Should I poison him again when he's almost recovered?"

Everyone: "..."

Liu Ruyan also realized that this wouldn't work, so she said, "Why don't we arrange a marriage for Jing Shen soon? If we can cultivate feelings for him now, he might not miss Ke Yuanzhi later."

“Mother, this might not be a good idea. What if my fourth brother regains his memory and doesn’t want to continue the marriage? Wouldn’t that be troublesome?” Song Yi’an said.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "This is too unfair to Fourth Sister-in-law. What if Fourth Brother doesn't think clearly and does something reckless? We will all be letting Fourth Sister-in-law down."

"I was confused too, I was desperate and grasped at straws." Liu Ruyan waved her hands repeatedly, then couldn't help but say:

"The Ke family and the Qu family are already engaged. Jing Shen himself has heard about this. Even if his memory returns, the matter is set in stone, and there's nothing he can do to change it!"

However, it's unclear when the Qu and Ke families will actually get married. If they do, it will completely put an end to Jing Shen's hopes.

Speaking of this, she felt somewhat fortunate. Every cloud has a silver lining; Jing Shen happened to have amnesia at this moment. Otherwise, he would have been greatly shocked to learn of this news upon his return.

Song Zhiyu was dumbfounded. "Are we supposed to try and matchmake Ke Yuanzhi and Qu Kuo?"

Song Ruozhen: "..." It's not impossible.

The next day.

Song Ruozhen seized the opportunity and had the accountant list all the gifts that Song Jingshen had given to Ke Yuanzhi.

Strike while the iron is hot. Since it was said in front of everyone yesterday and Ke Yuanzhi personally agreed, we should go and ask for it now, lest that woman come up with some other tricks if we wait too long.

Song Zhiyu stayed by Song Ruozhen's side, fearing that Song Jingshen's memory would return when he woke up. Fortunately, he did not, and instead helped her list out everything from before.

Looking at the long list, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but sigh, "The original owner and Song Jingshen really were siblings!"
