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

"I have absolutely no intention of forcing you to marry me. Even if you were to marry me, I would not want to. My mother is already arranging marriages for me."

Besides, a gentleman does not take what others cherish, and I have no interest in other people's wives.

Ke Yuanzhi's eyes were filled with disbelief; Song Jingshen had actually rejected her!

How could he possibly refuse him?

He would have been overjoyed and willing to do anything if she had just heard that she was willing to marry him, but now he has rejected her. This is simply impossible!

Song Ruozhen and Song Zhiyu exchanged glances, their lips curving upwards involuntarily.

happy!

Deep-field amnesia is truly a wonderful thing! Congratulations!

"Since you can't pay it back right now, then pay back part of it first, and write an IOU for the rest. You can pay it back within a month, okay?"

Please don't accuse me of abducting women. Our Song family is upright and honest; we would never do such a thing.

Seeing Song Jingshen's terrified expression, as if he was afraid that Ke Yuanzhi would marry him and had even extended the deadline, everyone seemed to finally realize a problem.

It seems he really doesn't like Ke Yuanzhi anymore!

He has truly let go of the person he loved for so many years; it's not an act or a momentary lapse of temper.

Ke Yuanzhi stood there stunned, finding this even harder to accept than Song Jingshen asking her to return the money.

How could he possibly let go of himself?

"Song Jingshen, are you even a man? Wasn't it enough that you publicly humiliated Yuanzhi yesterday? Today you've even come to the Ke family to cause trouble?"

Suddenly, an angry roar came from over, followed by Qu Kuo walking over aggressively.

"Why do you care so much about whether I'm a man or not? Don't worry, I'm definitely better than you."

Song Jingshen glanced at Qu Kuo with disdain. They had spread the word before they arrived, but Qu Kuo was only arriving now. He was really slow.

Besides, even when you're cursing someone, you can't just keep repeating the same sentence over and over.

What's with the talk of scholars?

He has absolutely no knowledge!

Qu Kuo originally wanted to shout loudly, as if a divine soldier had descended from the sky to help Ke Yuanzhi out of the predicament, but he was speechless after being rebuked by Song Jingshen's words, and his original momentum was greatly diminished.

"Who's talking to you about that!" Qu Kuo said angrily. "I'm saying, what kind of behavior is it for you to bully a girl?"

When Ke Yuanzhi saw Qu Kuo appear, it was as if she had seen a savior. With tears streaming down her face, she said, "Young Master Qu, you've come."

Qu Kuo's heart softened the moment he saw Ke Yuanzhi's eyes, and his masculine spirit surged instantly. "Yuanzhi, don't be afraid. With me here, they can't bully you."

"Young Master Qu, you are so kind to me." Ke Yuanzhi was deeply moved.

Song Jingshen clapped his hands. "Wow, what a domineering way to protect his wife! No wonder the Ke family wants to form a marriage alliance with the Qu family. It's an excellent choice."

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle; it seemed Song Jingshen had indeed read quite a few novels...

Qu Kuo originally thought he was very domineering, but when Song Jingshen said those words, he felt something was off.

"Qu Kuo, you've come at the right time. The Ke family owes me some money and can't pay it back right now. Can you help them pay it back?" Song Jingshen asked.

Upon hearing this, Qu Kuo gave a mocking smile and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a little bit of silver, I'll help you pay it back!"

Everyone says you, Song Jingshen, are generous, but I never expected you to be so petty. It's just a little bit of silver, and you had to bring so many people to my door to ask for it back. Shameless!

When Ke Yuanzhi saw that Qu Kuo was willing to help, she was overjoyed and even her eyes became full of admiration.

"Thank you, Young Master Qu."

Qu Kuo smiled smugly, "It's nothing, don't worry about it. Besides, we're getting married soon, so your business is my business!"

Then everyone will know how stingy Song Jingshen is, and how generous he is!

Song Jingshen had already had the IOU written, and said, "A total of 800,000 taels. You can sign it now."

Qu Kuo was taken aback when he heard the number, and subconsciously wondered if he had misheard. "How much silver did you say?"

“Eight hundred thousand taels,” Song Jingshen repeated.

Qu Kuo's eyes widened. Didn't Song Jingshen just say it was a little silver?

This is not just a little bit of silver; it's going to empty the entire Qu family's pockets!

"You owe Song Jingshen 800,000 taels of silver?"

Qu Kuo looked at Ke Yuanzhi in shock. He had naturally heard that Song Jingshen was very generous to her, but 800,000 taels was an astonishing amount.

At first, he thought Song Jingshen must be crazy to spend so much money on a girl he wasn't even betrothed to. Then he thought Ke Yuanzhi was the crazy one, how dare she ask for so much money and spend it all!

"Qu Kuo, your aunt knew you were sincere towards Yuan Zhi. It was absolutely the right decision to marry Yuan Zhi to you!"

Ke's mother excitedly grabbed Qu Kuo's hand, afraid he would change his mind, and glared fiercely at Song Jingshen, "Unlike some people who are so stingy!"

Qu Kuo's lips twitched. He was filled with regret. If so much silver were attributed to him, he wouldn't be able to explain it when he got back!

But if I don't agree, I've already said what I just said, wouldn't that make me even more of a laughingstock?

"me……"

"Hurry up and sign. You've already said it. Surely it's not another scoundrel trying to renege on the debt?" Song Zhiyu urged.

Qu Kuo looked at the pen handed to him, but he really couldn't bring himself to sign it.

"Young Master Qu, thank you so much," Ke Yuanzhi said gently, blinking her eyes.

Qu Kuo: "..."

"Ke Yuanzhi's bewitching potion is indeed not simple; no wonder Jing Shen fell for it before."

Seeing this scene, Song Yi'an couldn't help but sigh. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that none of the siblings' relationships had been smooth sailing.

"I can't sign this!"

Qu Kuo forced himself to speak, ultimately choosing the former over being ridiculed or beaten to death by his parents.

How could he possibly repay 800,000 taels?

He even thought that Ke Yuanzhi was a complete spendthrift; she not only dared to accept so much money, but also spent it all!

Whose daughter spends so much money?

If she were to actually marry him, the entire Qu family wouldn't be enough for her to squander!

Ke Yuanzhi was slightly taken aback. "What?"

“Eight hundred thousand taels is far too much. I don’t know how you accumulated such a large debt, but we are not married yet, and I cannot pay off so much debt for you without our parents’ knowledge.”

Qu Kuo still cared about his reputation, so when he spoke, he shifted the blame onto his parents.

Song Jingshen clicked his tongue in admiration, "Looks like you're not that much of a man after all."

"I thought he was a real man, but he's just an immature baby who still has to ask his parents for everything!" Song Zhiyu laughed heartily.

Qu Kuo: "..." Damn it, he's not stupid!

In the end, the Ke family still signed the IOU; they had no choice but to sign it in front of so many people.

The Song family left the Ke family satisfied, carrying the recovered items and IOUs.

When Lord Ke returned from court, he learned that his wife and daughter owed the Song family 800,000 taels of silver, and he felt as if the sky had fallen!

With so much silver, how could the Ke family possibly repay it?
