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

Soon, the kitchen prepared the food, and the two headed to the government office.

The yamen was in chaos. The captured bandits were being interrogated one by one, and there were also villagers who had been robbed by the bandits and were crying out for help.

"You're all so busy, wouldn't we be a burden if we came?"

Luo Qingyin had never been to such a place before. Seeing people coming and going, and even being dragged away for interrogation, the two girls felt completely out of place.

"It should be okay."

Song Ruozhen pulled Luo Qingyin aside, trying not to disturb others.

"I'm just checking to see if my brother is alright. I can leave the things and go without bothering them."

"Miss Song?"

Suddenly, a joyful voice rang out.

Song Ruozhen turned her head and realized that the person speaking was none other than Chu Junting's attendant, Yun Yang.

"Are you here to see our prince? My prince is inside. Let me take you in."

Yunyang's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Song Ruozhen: "..." It was really hard to say no under that kind of gaze, otherwise she would seem heartless.

"I brought some food to visit the prince and my elder brother."

Yunyang smiled broadly, "My lord has been working for two days straight without rest. I was just about to go buy some food when Miss Song delivered it. What a coincidence!"

Luo Qingyin looked at Yun Yang in surprise. She had heard before that the Prince of Chu and Ruozhen were very close. Back in the Luo family, the Prince of Chu had spoken up for her. Now, seeing their familiar manner, could it be...?

"Please come with me, Your Highness and General Song are inside."

The two followed Yunyang inwards and soon encountered Chu Junting and Song Yanzhou, who both had sullen faces.

Chu Junting's handsome face was now covered with a layer of ice, and the dark circles under his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue. However, his serious and solemn appearance made him look imposing, and everyone around him dared not breathe.

Song Yanzhou's expression was also not good. After the bandit suppression yesterday, he found that the situation of the mountain bandits was more serious than they had expected.

After capturing so many people, it was discovered that this was not all; these guys were cunning and had multiple burrows, some of whom were still hiding in other places.

"Your Highness, Lord Song, Miss Song and Miss Luo have arrived," Yun Yang announced.

Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but turn their gazes away. The prince was in a bad mood, and now that Song Yanzhou's sister and future wife had come to visit, wouldn't that be bad luck?

Song Yanzhou's sudden return to his post already displeased some people, who harbored resentment. However, the prince seemed to value him highly, so even though they were dissatisfied, they could only endure it.

The fact that the Song family girl had so recklessly barged in was exactly what everyone wanted; they were all waiting to see a good show.

Chu Junting turned his head and saw Song Ruozhen walking slowly towards him. Her delicate features were radiant with a bright smile, like a ray of sunshine shining into one's heart.

"Qingyin, Fifth Sister, what brings you here?"

A look of surprise flashed in Song Yanzhou's eyes, and he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to send someone back to let him know that he was safe.

"It's all my fault. I forgot to send a message back, and I'm sure I made you all worry."

“We’re not worried, but Sister Luo is more concerned,” Song Ruozhen said with a light laugh.

Song Yanzhou glanced at Luo Qingyin instinctively, his heart softening. The latter blushed unconsciously and whispered, "Auntie sent us..."

Song Ruozhen turned her head and met Chu Junting's gaze. His gaze was so strong that it was impossible not to notice him.

"Your Highness, we brought some food with us. Why don't we rest for a while and have something to eat together?" Song Ruozhen asked.

"Very well, I happen to be hungry, and I'm fortunate to have the honor of meeting Lord Song."

Chu Junting smiled, his previous icy and domineering aura vanished instantly, and he walked over to Song Ruozhen's side.

"Miss Song is so thoughtful, she prepared so much."

Chu Junting glanced at the contents of the food box; it was clearly not enough for one person, and his smile brightened.

Song Ruozhen naturally understood Chu Junting's meaning. It was undeniable that she had included his portion in the food when she had it prepared, but she felt a little uncomfortable now that she had been seen through.

The crowd, who were waiting to see a good show, watched as the King of Chu, who had been so imposing just a moment ago, suddenly broke into a smile. The iceberg melted so quickly that they couldn't react in time.

what's the situation?

When did the King of Chu become so easy to talk to?

Song Ruozhen also noticed the ghostly expressions on the faces of everyone around her, and couldn't help but feel confused.

However, Chu Junting swept a sharp look over them, and the others immediately lowered their heads, busy with their own things, pretending not to have seen anything.

"I heard that your fourth brother has returned and even went to the Ke residence today to collect a debt?"

In order to create an opportunity for her older brother to speak with Luo Qingyin, Song Ruozhen deliberately walked a little further away, so as not to make it awkward to speak in front of them.

Hearing Chu Junting's words, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Your Highness is so well-informed? You're so busy suppressing bandits, yet you still know about these trivial matters?"

“How could your matter be a trivial matter?” Chu Junting said.

Song Ruozhen: "???"

Seeing the man say such flirtatious words with such a serious expression, Song Ruozhen was momentarily speechless.

"I originally planned to go to the Prince of Xiang's residence last night if the bandit suppression went smoothly yesterday. However, the situation was more complicated than I had imagined, so I was unable to go. But I have heard that this cousin of yours met you once before."

King Xiang found his crown prince, and King Chu, being his cousin, naturally had to go as well. However, the matter of suppressing the bandits was of utmost urgency, so he could only send someone to deliver a message of apology.

Unexpectedly, he learned of Song Jingshen's return and even watched the spectacle outside the Prince of Xiang's residence.

Song Ruozhen suddenly realized that the Prince of Xiang was the current emperor's younger brother, so it was not surprising that Chu Junting knew this.

“It’s quite a coincidence.” Song Ruozhen nodded. “The matter between Fourth Brother and the Ke family has now spread throughout the entire capital.”

"I heard that your fourth brother was almost obsessed with Ke Yuanzhi back then, but now that he's back, he suddenly chose to cut ties completely. Is there some hidden reason behind this?" Chu Junting asked.

“My fourth brother has amnesia,” Song Ruozhen said with a light laugh.

Chu Junting was slightly taken aback, "Amnesia?"

Song Ruozhen nodded, "It's funny, my fourth brother hasn't forgotten anything else, but he just forgot about Ke Yuanzhi."

Just yesterday, when Fourth Brother came back, he caught Ke Yuanzhi and Qu Kuo together, so he completely broke things off.

"Is there really such a unique form of amnesia in the world? This is the first time I've ever heard of it."

Chu Junting chuckled, seeing the bright smile on the girl's face beside him, and said, "It seems this is just what you wanted."

"What do you mean by that, Your Highness?" Song Ruozhen couldn't help but ask.

“Your third brother mentioned this matter before, and you looked impatient when you heard it, which shows that you are very troubled by this matter.”

Now that he's suffering from amnesia and has taken the initiative to cut ties with Ke Yuanzhi, isn't that exactly what you wanted?
