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

"Thump." Lanzhi immediately knelt down and cried out, "This was all my idea, it has nothing to do with you, Miss!"

Miss has always treated me very well. I was worried that if Miss married the Marquis, the Song family girl would be difficult to get along with. That's why I used Miss's name to bribe Peilan. I didn't intend to harm Miss Song, I just wanted to know some information.

Please calm down, Miss Song. My young lady truly knew nothing about this matter.

"Lanzhi, how could you be so foolish?" Qin Shuangshuang's eyes reddened. "Why did you do such a useless thing and cause Miss Song to misunderstand!"

“Miss, I have been indebted to you since I was a child. I only used this stupid method because I wanted to repay you. It is all my fault.”

Lanzhi knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. In the blink of an eye, blood was seeping from her forehead. "Miss Song, it is all my fault. I will accept whatever punishment I am given. I only beg you not to wrong my young lady."

Qin Shuangshuang seemed deeply moved, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Miss Song, this matter is our fault. Lanzhi is my personal maid. I hope you can be lenient."

Seeing this scene of deep affection between master and servant, everyone felt a pang of pity.

"Ruozhen, you see, this wasn't something Miss Qin did intentionally. It's just that she and her maid are so close that she took it upon herself to do it. It's clear that she treats her maid very well. There's no need to say more about her character. So why don't you stop worrying about it?" Liu Feiyan said at the right moment.

“Your aunt is right. Now that the truth has come out, there’s no need to make things too ugly,” Liu Xuyang advised.

In the past, Song Ruozhen would have let it go, but she is not the real Song Ruozhen. Now that things have been brought to a head, there is no reason to let it go so easily.

Otherwise, wouldn't everyone be able to bully her in the future?

"Aunt, you are mistaken. In my opinion, Lanzhi should not only be punished, but should be severely punished and expelled from the house!"

Sun Yan'er rushed over, eager to show her kindness and magnanimity in front of Lin Zhiyue, and immediately said, "Cousin, this is a loyal servant after all, how can you be so heartless?"

When Lin Zhiyue saw Sun Yan'er, he recognized her as Song Ruozhen's cousin, whom he had met before when they got engaged.

"Your cousin is kinder and more generous than you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yan'er felt encouraged and even more smug. "Cousin, one should be kind and generous. Mother has always taught us that. I thought Aunt taught you the same thing, but how could you..."

"My sister is so foolish. Doesn't she know that I'm doing this for Miss Qin's own good?"

The group was taken aback. "What makes you say that?"

"Not to mention that Miss Qin is the mistress, the maid dared to act recklessly outside by taking advantage of her mistress's reputation. Today, I caught her. If Miss Qin hadn't confronted her on the spot, anyone else would have definitely held her accountable."

Who is the master and who is the servant? If a servant dares to act on behalf of his master without authorization, he either has ulterior motives or the master is incompetent and needs the servant's help.

If we soften our hearts and let them go today, other servants will follow suit, which would be a loss of dignity.

"Right now it's just bribery, and nothing serious has happened yet. But if they commit murder or arson one day, wouldn't Miss Qin be implicated?"

Song Ruozhen's voice was sharp and her words were precious. The other party wanted to play the game of downplaying the matter, but she was determined to make it bigger!

Such a delicate trick is absolutely impossible with her!

As expected, after Song Ruozhen finished speaking, the others also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Miss Song truly lives up to her reputation as a lady from a prestigious family. Managing so many people in the Song family shows remarkable foresight. The reason she hasn't caused any trouble yet is because she hasn't had a chance to make a scene. If we hadn't discovered her in time, who knows what might have happened in the future?"

“Miss Qin, you’d better stop protecting your maid. It will only cause trouble sooner or later. Besides, you should give Miss Song an explanation today.”

Qin Shuangshuang was furious as she looked at the opportunistic crowd!

"Take him away and beat him to death with sticks!" Chu Junting said calmly.

Lanzhi only showed her terror when she was dragged away, repeatedly crying out, "Miss, save me! Miss, save me!"

However, Qin Shuangshuang looked at the aloof and cold man in front of her and ultimately did not speak. She knew that this man always meant what he said, and speaking now would not only be useless, but would also leave a worse impression.

"Miss Song, what do you plan to do with your maid?" Chu Junting asked Song Ruozhen.

When everyone saw that Chu Junting had actually asked Song Ruozhen for her opinion, they looked at each other in confusion. What was going on?

Could it be that the King of Chu is actually interested in her?

“Since she told the truth, I spared her life. I sent her back to the Liu family last night, and her indenture was also given to my aunt. She was someone my aunt bought in the first place, so it is up to my aunt to decide what to do with her. It has nothing to do with me.”

Song Ruozhen became a hands-off manager. After today's incident, she was not worried that Peilan would hold a grudge against her, because Peilan hated her aunt and Qin Shuangshuang more than she did.

"Lord Lin, Miss Qin, let's go to the Song residence together. If I see the thing being dug out with my own eyes, I won't be slandered anymore."

After saying that, she took a step forward without waiting for their reply.

"Zhiyue, are we really going?" Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask. Today was already embarrassing enough; wouldn't going to the Song family be even more embarrassing?

"Since you've caused trouble, you naturally have to deal with it." Lin Zhiyue's expression was also grim. "You need to be more careful in the future. If you hadn't been exposed today, you might have implicated even more people in the future..."

Qin Shuangshuang was even more displeased to see Lin Zhiyue speaking up for Song Ruozhen, but she appeared very obedient. "I will definitely be more careful in everything I do in the future. It's just that this matter has caused the Marquis to lose face. If Miss Song had told me in private, I would have been able to handle it more properly."

Lin Zhiyue lowered his eyes, feeling that there was some truth to it.

"Miss Song, how did you know that this charlatan was a fraud?" Chu Junting asked, following behind Song Ruozhen.

Song Ruozhen didn't expect Chu Junting to come along, so she said, "I also know a bit about this, but unfortunately my mother didn't tell me about it before, and by the time I found out, it was too late."

"Miss Song, are you really good at fortune telling?"

"Your Highness doesn't believe me?"

"No, I was just surprised."

Chu Junting smiled faintly. Even though he had just witnessed that scene, he did not believe that Song Ruozhen really understood. After all, Song Ruozhen in her previous life did not have this ability. But her answer at this moment was truly surprising.

Song Ruozhen stopped and looked at the man deeply, saying, "Your Highness helped me today, so I'll give you a piece of advice."

Chu Junting: "???" Many people have given him gifts, but what's a single word compared to that?

To dismiss his help with just a few words is far too simplistic.

"Your Highness, please do not go to places with water these next two days," Song Ruozhen said.
