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

As the Ke family mother and daughter moved their belongings out, the Ke family members, who had initially felt somewhat guilty, immediately straightened their backs again.

"Look, we've brought all this stuff here. Who do you think the Ke family is? Would we covet your little things?" said the second wife of the Ke family.

Song Ruozhen glanced at the few scattered boxes and said indifferently, "These alone are probably not enough."

The second branch of the Ke family choked for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and opened the box. "Although you sent some gifts, this is quite a lot. How could my sister-in-law possibly take it from you?"

Madam Ke was already worried about losing face, and seeing that the second wife was still so clueless, she wanted nothing more than to tear her mouth to shreds.

"Clang."

As the box was opened, everyone gasped in amazement at what was inside. The glittering contents nearly blinded them.

Inside, almost all the hairpins and jewelry were made of gold; there wasn't a single silver piece to be seen. There were also various pearl and agate bracelets and even earrings.

Besides these, there were even ornaments made of real gold, top-quality jadeite, and mutton fat jade...

Song Zhiyu couldn't help but look at Song Jingshen, "If it weren't for the few of us at home, you probably would have handed over your entire fortune to Ke Yuanzhi, wouldn't you?"

Song Ruozhen: "..." She was just as formidable as she was back then.

Two spendthrift brats.

Song Jingshen looked slightly embarrassed. "I...I don't know why I was like that before."

"Now you know why we didn't believe you before, right?" Song Zhiyu clicked his tongue. "I was really afraid that when you regain your memory, you'd regret what you did and turn against me again."

Song Jingshen: "Don't try to ruin my reputation while my memory is still intact! I'm not that kind of person!"

Song Zhiyu: "...You're really shameless."

Looking at her two younger brothers bickering, Song Yi'an couldn't help but feel helpless and reminded them, "Check the order first."

Song Jingshen became more serious before ordering someone to count and verify each item.

"The list has already been prepared. Mrs. Ke, please take a look."

Song Yi'an had a servant hand one of the forms to Madam Ke.

When Ke's mother finally saw all the items listed above, she was dazzled. Yet, every single one of them actually matched up. She was completely bewildered, and her heart sank.

Because the gifts from Song Jingshen were all quite valuable, and some of them were specifically mentioned by Ke Yuanzhi, she had a particularly deep impression of them.

At the same time, Song Ruozhen distributed the dozens of lists that she had previously sent someone to copy to the people around her.

"The order is right here. Please bear witness to it so that we can avoid any discrepancies later."

When Song Jingshen saw that his fifth sister had come up with this plan, he couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, "Fifth sister, you are the most capable one."

Song Ruozhen smiled and had someone give the extra bills to the other branches of the Ke family, "Let's take a look together, so that there won't be any disagreements when we settle the accounts later, and also to prevent you from being taken advantage of."

Ke Yuanzhi was originally thinking about how to gloss over the matter, as long as it was roughly correct, and as for the things that were used, she would find a reason to make Song Jingshen stop caring.

Who would have thought that Song Ruozhen would suddenly pull such a stunt, even copying down so many lists, one for each person?

"Read it aloud, and cross it off as soon as you get it right. Make sure it's clear," Song Ruozhen instructed the steward.

"Yes, ma'am."

"A pair of jade ruyi scepters!"

"A pair of white magnolia earrings!"

"A pearl bracelet!"

The person in charge had a very loud voice, and he would pick up an item and check it one by one in front of everyone.

The more they listened, the more alarmed they became. These were small gadgets that didn't take up much space, but each one was quite valuable.

The value of just one box is astonishing, not to mention the long list that is dazzling to look at, it's truly amazing!

"Fourth Brother, look at you! Miss Ke didn't want to accept it, yet you still forced so much stuff on her, causing her so much trouble!" Song Ruozhen frowned.

Song Jingshen touched his nose. "It's all my fault."

However, when these words reached the ears of everyone, everyone knew perfectly well what was going on.

If you don't want to accept them, it's fine to accept one out of ten items, but there are so many things... it's not that you don't want to accept them.

It's an absolute mountain of loot!

After all the moved items were inventoried, everyone realized that it wasn't even half full, and all eyes turned to Ke's mother and Ke Yuanzhi.

"Where are the rest?" Song Jingshen asked.

Madam Ke felt a little embarrassed, but she forced a smile and said, "Jing Shen, some of these things, such as silk and satin, have already been made into clothes, so we don't have any right now."

"So much is gone?" Song Zhiyu asked in shock. "It's one thing to wear the clothes, but what about the jewelry and rare items? Did you eat them?"

Mrs. Ke was furious. She knew that Song Zhiyu never thought before he spoke, but this time he had left her speechless. She could only look at Ke Yuanzhi.

"It wasn't that I ate it, it was...it was..."

As Ke Yuanzhi was pondering, Song Zhiyu seemed to understand, "It was converted into silver and used, right?"

“It doesn’t matter if it’s gone,” Song Jingshen said.

Upon hearing this, Ke Yuanzhi was overjoyed and a smile appeared on her face. "Jing Shen, I knew you were... good to me."

"Just convert it directly into silver."

Ke Yuanzhi's smile froze on her face before it could fully bloom.

Song Jingshen seemed completely unaware. "Yesterday, Miss Ke said that all the items used would be directly converted into silver, and the Song family would not be shortchanged by a single penny."

Since it's been a while since the gifts were delivered, it's impossible for every item to still be there. So I specifically asked the family accountant to bring the accounts.

I have a habit in business: I list the value of everything clearly. Although I didn't prepare for this today, it makes accounting easier.

Everything, including what it is and its value, is clearly written up there; you can all take a look.

Mrs. Ke was dumbfounded.

Ke Yuanzhi felt as if she had been slapped in the face, and all her wishful thinking was shattered.

The remaining members of the Ke family's three branches stared at each other in disbelief at the remaining list, none of which were cheap!

Can the eldest son's family repay the debt? If they can't, won't they also be implicated?

"The remaining amount is 810,000 taels. Just give me 800,000 taels, and I won't bother with the change," Song Jingshen said generously.

Upon hearing this, Ke's mother's legs went weak, and she almost fainted.

With so much silver, they could practically empty the entire Ke family's coffers!

"Would the Ke family try to renege on their debt? Madam Ke is known for her extravagant spending in the capital. She only uses shark fin and bird's nest for rinsing her mouth. She doesn't even look at ordinary bird's nest; it has to be blood bird's nest."

"Eight hundred thousand taels is a lot for other families, but it shouldn't be much for the Ke family, right?" said Song Jingshen's friend.
