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

"Cousin, things aren't that simple. As soon as we mentioned it today, Mother refused, and Father was furious."

You know how cunning Yun Xiwan and her stepmother are. Now that she can't get married, she'll definitely try every means to cling to you. What if…”

Yun Chengze's gaze remained fixed on Yun Nianchu's face. Even though the swelling had subsided, some traces of the swelling were still visible.

Does your face still hurt?

Yun Nianchu was slightly taken aback, subconsciously touching her face, her eyes dimming.

"I'm fine. Ruozhen applied some medicine for me, and it should be completely gone by tomorrow."

Yun Chengze's eyes grew even deeper, but his voice was very gentle, "From now on, you don't need to rush to the front for my affairs. It's not worth hurting yourself."

"Cousin, do you not want me to get involved in your affairs?" Yun Nianchu asked subconsciously.

Yun Chengze chuckled, "You're a young lady, and you've been injured on the face. Isn't that a huge loss? If anyone should be talking about this, it should be me. I'm a man, so I'm tough and thick-skinned. Even if I get beaten up, it won't bother me."

"How can that be done?"

Yun Nianchu suddenly remembered that she had been beaten for saying a few words today. If her cousin spoke up, wouldn't her father beat her even more severely?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "Cousin, why don't you go stay at a friend's house for a while and hide away?"

"You can run away, but you can't hide. You don't need to worry about me. I will handle this. I will not marry Yun Xiwan, nor will I make things difficult for you and your aunt. Trust me."

Yun Chengze's eyes were serious, and a cold glint flashed in them as he thought of Yun Xiaoniang.

My uncle has been spoiling his concubines and neglecting his wife all these years, and now he's bullying my aunt and cousin for the sake of his concubines and illegitimate daughters.

On New Year's Eve, my uncle abandoned my aunt and went to Yun Xiaoniang's room. He saw my aunt drunk and heartbroken, and she said to him earnestly:

“His heart has never been with me, and since I only have one daughter and no son, he looks down on me even more.”

I'm just trying to support Nianchu all this time. Chengze, you must help your aunt take good care of Nianchu.

In the end, it's all because I'm useless that Nianchu, a legitimate daughter, has to suffer at the hands of a concubine's daughter..."

At that time, he solemnly promised that he would take good care of his cousin and would not let anyone bully her and her mother!

……

Qin family.

The eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Qin family had just been brought back. Seeing that Qin Shuangshuang had finally returned to the Lin family, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and were finally at ease.

Looking at her husband whom she hadn't seen for several days, Qin's eldest sister-in-law felt a strange sensation, as if something had changed, yet he remained as gentle to her as ever.

Suddenly, she smelled a peculiar fragrance in the room, a scent that didn't belong to her.

"Husband, while I was away from home, you didn't bring other girls to fool around with, did you?"

Qin Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "How could that be? You haven't come back for days, I've been so worried about you."

Guo Yuelin thought that in the years since they got married, Qin Zhiyuan had always been very obedient to her, he hadn't taken a single concubine, and she forbade him from going to brothels.

Thinking back, he probably didn't have the guts to do it during the time I was away.

Suddenly, Guo Yuelin noticed the unfamiliar rouge beside her and frowned. "This isn't my rouge!"

"I bought you some rouge and face powder because I was looking forward to your early return."

Qin Zhiyuan was startled, remembering that he had reminded He Xiangning yesterday to make sure all her things were packed away so that they wouldn't be discovered. He hadn't expected that she would have forgotten this thing, so he quickly tried to cover it up.

"You bought this for me?" Guo Yuelin opened the rouge with suspicion. "It looks like it's been used."

"I bought this rouge for you myself. I just touched it out of curiosity and got my hands dirty."

With a broad smile, Qin Zhiyuan took out a brocade box from a drawer and handed it over, saying, "This is also a gift I bought especially for you. Do you like it?"

Guo Yuelin took the brocade box, opened it, and saw a brand-new gold hairpin. A smile immediately appeared on her face. "You do have a conscience!"

Just as Qin Zhiyuan and his brother were happy that their wives had finally returned, they suddenly heard that Qin Shuangshuang's whole family had arrived, and their expressions immediately changed.

"What did you say?"

"Not only has the young lady returned, but her aunt and her in-laws have also come."

I just inquired around and heard that the Song family's daughter went to the Lin family today to collect a debt. Seeing that the Lin family couldn't pay, she took over their house.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng and Gu Yunwei felt as if their vision went black.

So, not only does their daughter not have a place to stay after she goes back, but they also have the idea of ​​having their whole family stay at the Qin family's house?

"Useless! Lin Zhiyue is truly useless!"

Qin Zheng could no longer contain his anger and cursed, "It's all your fault for spoiling your daughter. You're blind! There are so many good young men in the capital, but you had to choose the most useless one, who has also been given a bad reputation!"

In my opinion, we should get rid of this daughter. Severing ties as soon as possible will at least preserve the Qin family's reputation!

Gu Yunwei also felt that the Lin family was of no use, but Qin Shuangshuang was her daughter after all, and she couldn't just abandon her like that.

"Husband, calm down. Didn't Shuangshuang say before that the Lin family will rise again one day? Let's wait patiently, okay?"

Upon seeing this, Qin Xiangheng said, "I have already bought the painting that Shuangshuang asked me to buy. This is the painting that Lord Xiao has always wanted, but he spent a lot of money and still couldn't find it."

Tomorrow is Lord Xiao's birthday. If we present this painting as a birthday gift, Lord Xiao will be very happy!

"Dad, I think Shuangshuang is telling the truth. Her precognitive dreams are extraordinary. Otherwise, how could so many people not find it, but I found it exactly where she told me to?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng's expression softened somewhat. Ever since Qin Shuangshuang's accident, he had been ridiculed in court for a long time. Even his former close colleagues were now intentionally distancing themselves from him, and some even said that his family was just unlucky.

After all, one bad thing after another happened, and even he himself felt it was strange. In addition, his children's behavior was indiscreet, and even his past misdeeds were dug up...

“In that case, let them stay for a while and find a suitable place to move out as soon as possible. Our Qin family can’t afford to lose face like this!” Qin Zheng said.

Gu Yunwei nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, my husband, they definitely won't stay long."

Ever since Qin Shuangshuang brought the person back, she had been feeling uneasy, fearing that her father would scold her in front of the Lin family and embarrass them all.

Fortunately, what she had said to Qin Xiangheng earlier had an effect. With the help of Consort Xiao and the favor of Lord Xiao, they were able to get on the Xiao family's good side.
