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

Song Ruozhen noticed the scars on Yun Nianchu's face and couldn't help but feel indignant for her friend.

Lord Yun has always favored Yun Xiwan and her daughter. Although Yun Nianchu is the legitimate daughter, she is not as favored as Yun Xiwan.

Now that this has happened, Yun Xiwan and the others are determined to force Yun Chengze to marry her.

Yun Chengze and Yun Nianchu's relationship was already subject to many restrictions, and now this new incident has made it even more troublesome than in the previous life.

"Ruozhen, what should I do?" Yun Nianchu asked, her eyes red. "My father doesn't care about me at all. In his eyes, I, my cousin, and even my mother are not as important as them!"

"Does your cousin know about this? What's his attitude?"

"Father just mentioned this to Mother today. My cousin went out and hasn't come back yet, so he probably doesn't know yet."

But my cousin has always been filial. He always felt that if his parents hadn't adopted him, he would have had a hard time even surviving, let alone studying and becoming an official. I'm worried..."

Yun Nianchu lowered her eyes. She suddenly felt a little regretful. She should have told her mother about her feelings earlier. She had never told her mother because she was worried that her cousin did not have feelings for her at all.

Now that Yun Xiwan has brought this up, not only has she lost the initiative, but if she speaks up now, they will say that she is deliberately competing with Yun Xiwan.

Hearing this, Song Ruozhen wasn't too worried.

"Don't worry, your cousin came in second in the imperial examination and has always been smart. Although he is filial, he is not someone who will marry whomever he is asked to. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to refuse so many marriage proposals recently."

In the original book, Yun Chengze never married, and after Yun Nianchu's death, he devoted himself to avenging her.

Although the current predicament is difficult to resolve, she is certain that Yun Chengze will never marry Yun Xiwan.

This man has a strong sense of responsibility. In front of Yun Nianchu, he is a kind and gentle older brother who never schemes and is considerate and warm. But in front of others, he is a sweet and gentle person.

Yun Xiwan and her daughter thought they could control him, but it wouldn't be that easy...

Yun Nianchu was slightly taken aback. "But I can't think of any way my cousin could come up with."

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "Then just wait and see. If your cousin really marries Yun Xiwan so easily, then he's not a good match for you."

Nianchu, I know you genuinely like Young Master Yun, but it's not easy for us women, especially when it comes to marriage. We have to be clear about things before we rush in without considering anything."

Originally, she didn't want to match Yun Nianchu and Yun Chengze up. For people in ancient times, it was common for cousins ​​to be together, but in her eyes, as someone who had transmigrated into a book, close relatives were never a good thing.

However, in the original book, Yun Nianchu died tragically because of her, and Yun Chengze also met a bad end while trying to avenge Yun Nianchu.

Now, she naturally hopes that the two of them can live well.

Yun Nianchu rarely saw Song Ruozhen so serious, and after hearing these words, she calmed down a bit.

"You're right, I was too anxious."

“Outsiders see things more clearly, it’s normal for you to be anxious,” Song Ruozhen comforted her.

Yun Nianchu held Song Ruozhen's hand and said, "I feel that you have changed a lot during this time. I can't quite put my finger on what's different, but you always make me feel at ease."

"A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit." Song Ruozhen poured Yun Nianchu a cup of tea with a faint smile. "Now that Yun Xiwan has caused such a scene, her reputation is ruined. Has this affected you?"

After all, they are all daughters raised by the same family. If one of them causes such a thing, everyone will assume that the family's upbringing is not strict, and they will be afraid that the other daughters of the Yun family will be like Yun Xiwan.

“I don’t care about these things. People think I’m bad just because of this, and that I’ll suffer if I marry into the family. But my mother has been worried about this lately.”

Yun Nianchu sighed, her face filled with deep sorrow. "We're really unlucky. Why did Yun Xiwan have to be my half-sister?"

"When I came out today, I heard her maid say that she was going to prepare more delicious food tonight and planned to invite my cousin over for a chat. Do you think I should just do nothing and wait in the room?"

Knowing that Yun Nianchu was not someone who could remain calm, Song Ruozhen said, "Then you can just go and ask your cousin."

"I'll go directly?" Yun Nianchu was stunned. "Then what should I say?"

"Just say what you're thinking. Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide anything."

Song Ruozhen shrugged. "Yun Xiwan is your half-sister. She's already started arranging marriages for you, so your family must be preparing for marriages for you too. If this continues, I'm afraid you'll both have to settle your marriages separately."

"But even when I'm just being affectionate with my cousin, he instinctively avoids me. If I were to actually tell him, wouldn't that be..."

"What are you afraid of? If I reject you, you'll have to look at other men anyway, so why not just choose one of my brothers?"

"It's better to be my sister-in-law than to marry someone else! It's definitely better than marrying someone else!" Song Ruozhen joked.

Yun Nianchu's eyes widened: "!!!"

“If it really comes to that, then what you said might be true. But your older brother is so amazing, I’m afraid I’m only good enough for your third brother, right?” Yun Nianchu pondered.

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You know what, my mother has also been having a headache over my third brother's marriage."

The two burst into laughter, and their initial discomfort gradually dissipated amidst the laughter...

As dusk fell, Chenxiang suddenly came to announce, "Miss, Young Master Yun has come to pick up Miss Yun."

"My cousin is here?" Yun Nianchu couldn't help but be surprised.

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Yun Chengze had already received word of this.

"Has Young Master Yun come in yet?" Song Ruozhen asked.

“The Yun family’s carriage is outside. I originally invited Young Master Yun in, but he said it was getting late and he could just wait outside,” Chenxiang replied.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly and said, "Go find my third brother and tell him that I'm not available right now, and ask him to help send Nianchu out."

Chenxiang was completely confused, but she still immediately went to invite Song Zhiyu.

Upon hearing that he was to help his younger sister, Song Zhiyu didn't hesitate at all. However, after listening to his sister's words, his expression turned strange.

"Isn't this not good?"

Yun Nianchu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "Third Brother Song, please do me a small favor."

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "If it works out, I'll definitely thank you, and I'll also ask Nianchu to help me find a suitable girl to be my sister-in-law!"

Song Zhiyu blushed at his younger sister's words and quickly waved his hand, "I'll help, please don't criticize me."

A light rain had started to fall outside. Yun Chengze held an umbrella in one hand, dressed in white, looking dashing and elegant, like a handsome man who had stepped out of a painting.

However, unlike his usual calm and composed demeanor, his eyes were more gloomy than ever before.
