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

Looking at the long list in front of him, Song Jingshen felt completely bewildered and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue in amazement:

"No way, I actually gave away so many things before? Why didn't you stop me from giving some?"

Almost nothing on this is ordinary; they are all top-quality items, and quite valuable.

The thought of presenting such a wonderful gift to Ke Yuanzhi, only to have her reluctantly refuse to accept it, filled him with inexplicable annoyance.

You must have been out of your mind to do something so outrageous!

Song Zhiyu looked disgusted. "It's not like we can stop you. I've tried to stop you before, and you've practically severed all ties with me."

Song Jingshen: "...Could it be that I was really cursed before?"

He couldn't sleep after returning to his room last night, and the more he thought about it, the harder it was to accept that he had done something so brainless.

Having been in business for many years, I've seen all sorts of people, and I've seen this kind of push-and-pull tactic before—in fact, I've seen it a lot!

What does it mean to reluctantly accept?

If he really didn't want to accept it, there were plenty of ways to do it. Not to mention that he had accepted so many benefits time and time again, and then righteously declared that it was all wishful thinking on his part!

If this had happened to someone else, he would have praised the girl for her skillful methods, but since it happened to him, what could he say?

Looking at Song Jingshen's puzzled expression, Song Ruozhen could guess the reason.

The Song family should never have fallen to such a state. It was just that the author of this book deliberately lowered Qin Shuangshuang's intelligence to create a control group.

Now that the formation has been broken, the situation has begun to improve, and the Song family is getting better step by step. Therefore, Song Jingshen has also broken away from the original plot and returned to his normal self.

In fact, with his business acumen, the fact that he was able to join forces with the original owner to build the Song family's business into such a large enterprise shows that he must be a very shrewd person!

Such a person shouldn't be trapped in Ke Yuanzhi's maze and unable to escape.

"It's good that you've figured it out now, but I think it won't be easy for these things to come back."

"Fifth Sister still hasn't gotten back the money she spent at the Lin family's place. That Lin Zhiyue is utterly shameless," Song Zhiyu said angrily.

Upon hearing that Song Jingshen had arrived at the accounting office early in the morning, Song Yi'an also rushed over and said:

"Fifth Sister is a young lady, so it's only natural for her to ask for her things back. But you're not engaged to the Ke family, so asking for them now might damage your reputation."

If a girl takes this for granted, but a man asks for it, he is easily blackmailed by others.

No matter how you put it, it's still not a pleasant thing to say.

Moreover, the fact that the Ke family allowed Ke Yuanzhi to accept so many things shows that they are also of questionable character. Taking these things back now is like tearing flesh from their bodies, and they probably won't let it go easily.

"The Ke family isn't like the Lin family, who fell into ruin and had nothing left but their house. What reason do they have not to return it?"

Song Zhiyu looked indignant. "They've taken our things and won't return them. Do they think our Song family's money grows on trees?"

Song Ruozhen: "..."

Song Jingshen: "..."

The two culprits looked at each other, both ashamed of the foolish things they had done.

Only after he finished speaking did Song Zhiyu belatedly realize that his insults towards his fourth brother had also included his fifth sister. He quickly explained, "Fifth sister, I was talking about fourth brother. You were deceived by bad people; he made a foolish mistake!"

Song Jingshen: "..." Ouch.

"Fifth Sister, I only heard about your annulment of the engagement with the Lin family from the servant after I returned. It's all my fault. I wasn't in the capital at such an important time and I couldn't stand up for you."

Speaking of this, Song Jingshen looked guilty. So many things had happened to his family, yet he went to the South China Sea to look for pearls for a girl who didn't care about him.

Last night, he was shocked just by listening to the servant talk about what had happened recently. One thing after another, not only did his fifth sister break off her engagement, but Lin Zhiyue also fell from the position of marquis to a commoner.

His eldest brother got divorced, his second brother broke off his engagement—he missed out on so many things. As a member of the family, he couldn't help in any way, and he really let his family down.

"Fourth Brother, what are you saying? You were injured before, and none of us were able to take care of you. Now that you're back and the family is reunited, we're overjoyed."

Song Ruozhen spoke sweet words without blinking, of course she would not admit that she thought Song Jingshen's love-obsessed nature was too extreme and she couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to him.

It's good that she's lost her memory now; she's calmed down. Otherwise, if she came back and was determined to kill herself over Ke Yuanzhi, that would be a real headache.

"Fifth Sister is right," Song Jingshen laughed.

Although Song Jingshen and Song Zhiyu are twins and look alike, their personalities and temperaments are different, making them easy to distinguish.

"Second brother, don't worry. Now that I've decided to collect the debt, I have a plan in mind."

This kind of thing is difficult for you scholars to solve, but if it were me, I'd have many ways to handle it.

Seeing the confidence in Song Jingshen's eyes, Song Yi'an felt relieved.

He knew that his fourth brother was always clever, especially in terms of interpersonal relationships, and was much more tactful and insightful than them, the scholars.

"Since everyone's free right now, why don't we all go to the Ke family's house together?"

As he spoke, Song Jingshen instructed the servants around him to notify some people, "Remember, don't leave anyone out, especially the Qu family."

"Don't worry, young master, I'll go right away."

After arranging everything, Song Jingshen asked in confusion, "Where did my elder brother go?"

“My elder brother went to suppress the bandits yesterday, so he probably won’t be back so soon. Suppressing bandits is not easy, not to mention that after they are brought back, they will have to be thoroughly interrogated. It will definitely take some time,” Song Yi’an said.

Song Jingshen breathed a sigh of relief. "I happened to pass by when I came back and heard that the imperial court was suppressing bandits. I heard that the Prince of Chu was personally leading the team. I didn't know that my elder brother was there, otherwise I should have gone to see him."

I heard this bandit group is extremely ferocious; many soldiers have been wounded. Will my brother be alright?

“My elder brother is highly skilled in martial arts, and his legs have recovered. He should be fine,” Song Yi’an said thoughtfully.

The siblings exchanged glances. They said this, but they couldn't help but worry in their hearts.

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but think of Chu Junting. Come to think of it... he probably hadn't slept for two days.

……

The Ke family.

When Ke's mother learned that Ke Yuanzhi had lost face in front of so many people at the Prince of Xiang's residence last night, she was furious.

"Look at the things you've done! I originally wanted you to meet the young master. Even if you don't catch his eye, it would be good if another lady took a liking to you."

Who would have thought that not only would you fail to marry into a wealthy family, but you'd also cause such a disgraceful incident, ruining your reputation!

Ke Yuanzhi's expression was also not good. Who would have thought that Song Ruozhen, who was always easy to talk to, seemed to have changed her personality yesterday? And coincidentally, Song Jingshen caught her behaving intimately with Qu Kuo, which led to this mess.
