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

"Master, Xi Wan has disappeared!"

Yun Xiaoniang rushed to Madam Yun's courtyard and began calling out anxiously as soon as she entered.

Yun Honglang was discussing with his wife about getting Yun Chengze to agree to marry him, but ultimately it would be better to have Zhang Wen speak up.

Given Yun Chengze's filial piety towards her, she would agree even if she was somewhat unwilling.

However, Zhang Wen's attitude was exceptionally firm today. No matter how he tried to persuade her, it was no use. She simply refused to agree and would never let Yun Chengze marry her.

However, just as the two were blushing again, Yun Xiaoniang suddenly ran in, and Yun Honglang quickly helped her up as she stumbled.

"What happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly."

Seeing Yun Honglang's concerned look towards Yun Xiaoniang, a cold glint flashed in Zhang Wen's eyes. Over the years, he had never taken her, his legal wife, seriously.

A concubine lived a more glamorous and respectable life than her!

Yun Xiaoniang felt a surge of pride, but her face remained delicate and worried.

"Master, it's so late, and Xiwan still hasn't returned."

You know she's a sensible girl. Even when she goes out, she always comes home early. I just asked the guards at the gate, and they all said they saw Xiwan come back with their own eyes.

"How could Xi Wan just disappear when she's perfectly fine at home?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Honglang frowned. "Since you've returned, it's impossible that you didn't go. Could it be that you went to find Nianchu?"

"When I came here, I sent someone to Nianchu's courtyard to ask, and they said that Xiwan didn't go, so I came to find you." Yun Xiaoniang said with a worried look on her face.

Upon hearing the news of Yun Xiwan's disappearance, Yun Nianchu rushed over and overheard the conversation. She couldn't help but ask, "The house is only so big, where else could she have gone?"

"Yes, the house is only so big. I've asked about all the courtyards, except for Chengze's. But she can't possibly go back to Chengze's courtyard anyway."

Yun Xiaoniang paced back and forth anxiously, seemingly unable to understand the reason.

However, Madam Yun and Yun Nianchu exchanged a glance after hearing this, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Yun Xiaoniang and her daughter had always been after Yun Chengze, and they probably resorted to such methods because they were afraid that the other party would not agree.

Yun Honglang's face darkened, and he waved his hand, saying, "No, Chengze and Xiwan are both sensible children. How could they possibly stay in his courtyard so late?"

"That's what I think too, but I'm really worried because Xiwan hasn't come back yet."

She has been depressed ever since she broke off her engagement with the Qin family. I'm really worried that she might do something rash. This child likes to keep her troubles to herself, afraid that we will worry.

Master, we should get more people to go searching together, just in case she…

Upon hearing this, Yun Honglang's expression tightened, and he said, "Quickly, have everyone search everywhere. We must find Xiwan!"

People in the courtyard came out one by one, shining their lights as they searched everywhere.

Yun Xiaoniang led the people towards Yun Chengze's courtyard, seemingly unintentionally. Yun Nianchu clenched her hands, her palms sweating involuntarily. "Mother, surely it won't happen?"

She had mentioned this possibility to Ruozhen at the Song family home earlier today, but Ruozhen said there was no need to worry, so she didn't think much of it. She always felt that Yun Xiaoniang was so concerned about her image that she probably wouldn't do such a thing.

After all, Yun Xiwan had been severely reprimanded for her outrageous behavior in front of everyone last time, but now...

Madam Yun's face was extremely ugly. Madam Yun was good at pretending and acting, and she had seen many similar dramas over the years.

However, she simply couldn't believe that Yun Xiaoniang would resort to such despicable means, especially since that was her own daughter!

Doing this is tantamount to completely ruining her reputation.

Even if the master tells everyone to shut up afterward, the fact that they went to such lengths to find someone today means that the news will eventually get out. It's unbelievable that a mother would have such a plan!

“Master, since we’re already here at Chengze’s courtyard, why don’t we ask him to come and help us search?” Yun Xiaoniang suggested.

As she spoke, she walked into the courtyard and found it dark. She couldn't help but wonder, "Why isn't Qingyan here serving us? Could it be that he hasn't returned yet?"

Yun Chengze has been living in the Yun family for years. Although everyone calls him "Young Master Cousin," Zhang Wen treats him very well and once wanted to find him more servants, but he refused.

Therefore, he was served by only two servants.

"I reckon they haven't come back yet. Let's look elsewhere," Zhang Wen suggested.

Yun Honglang nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Yun Xiaoniang say hurriedly, "Listen, isn't there some noise in here?"

Upon hearing this, the nanny beside Yun Xiaoniang rushed in and, sure enough, heard sounds from inside that made one blush and their heart race.

"Who dares to misbehave in the young master's courtyard?"

The old woman deliberately shouted loudly, and after a moment, she opened the door.

"boom!"

Yun Xiaoniang and the others rushed over.

The lights in the room had been turned on, and after everyone saw what was inside, time seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone was dumbfounded.

"Xi Wan, you, you..."

Yun Xiaoniang stared blankly at the scene before her, unable to utter a single coherent sentence.

Why is Yun Xiwan lying next to another man instead of Yun Chengze?

Yun Xiwan had already gathered her clothes, her fair face filled with panic, but the red marks on her neck were clearly visible.

"Father, Mother, when I passed by my cousin's yard on my way back today, he suddenly pulled me into the house."

I don't know why my cousin would do this to me. My daughter's innocence is ruined; I have no face to show anyone now!

After saying that, Yun Xiwan lowered her head and sobbed softly, "If he doesn't marry me, I'd rather die!"

Madam Yun and Yun Nianchu were initially very anxious, but when they saw that the person lying next to Yun Xiwan was Qing Shi, Yun Chengze's servant, their expressions became strange.

What nonsense is Yun Xiwan spouting?

She and Qing Shi were lying in the same bed. They did such a shameless thing, and she even said that Cheng Ze should marry her.

Did someone get their brain squeezed by a door?

Yun Honglang's face turned ashen, and he roared angrily, "What...what have you done!"

Yun Xiwan turned pale with fright and cried even more pitifully, "Father, Mother, you must do justice for me!"

Yun Xiaoniang was almost fainting with anger at this moment. She kept winking at Yun Xiwan and said, "You were only taken advantage of, you are still a virgin, right?"

Yun Xiwan thought that Yun Xiaoniang was reminding her that this was not enough and that the crime had to be confirmed, so she cried out:

"He ruined my daughter's reputation; she's already his!"
