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

Chu Junting was slightly taken aback. "A place with water?"

“By the lake,” Song Ruozhen emphasized.

Chu Junting suddenly realized that he had been resting for the past two days and had invited some friends to his residence for a get-together. He hadn't planned to go out anyway, and since he couldn't swim, he usually didn't go to the lakeside for gatherings.

"Miss Song, you are overthinking it. I do not enjoy going to the lakeside for leisure."

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen's lips curled slightly. Perhaps sometimes, simply disliking something doesn't mean you can choose not to go...

Song House.

When Liu Ruyan learned that Song Ruozhen had brought Lin Hou and Qin Shuangshuang back, her temples throbbed. She had met Lin Hou a couple of days ago and knew his attitude. She was even more impressed by Qin Shuangshuang's clever methods, which made Lin Hou's heart fall entirely on her.

But why did Zhen'er bring them all here in the first place?

"Mother, I'll go with you to see." Song Zhiyu strode forward, his face showing displeasure. "If they dare to bully Fifth Sister, I'll beat them to death!"

"Third brother, don't be impulsive. Let's go and see first." Song Yi'an frowned. After the annulment of the engagement, there shouldn't be any further involvement. Now, it probably won't be a good thing.

Qin Shuangshuang looked around the magnificent Song family mansion. The pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water were all elegant and well-maintained. Servants filled the garden, and everyone respectfully addressed Song Ruozhen as "Miss" wherever she went. She, however, did not receive such treatment in the Qin family.

Because her mother was a second wife, and there were already older brothers and sisters born to the first wife in the household, although she had her mother's indulgence, she was not as favored as Song Ruozhen.

However... she will take it all back!

As long as Song Ruozhen marries the Marquis, bringing with her a rich dowry to acquire land and numerous shops for the Marquis's residence, and then the old lady and the Marquis persuade her to manage some of the shops, with her intelligence, everything will fall into place!

Song Ruozhen took in Qin Shuangshuang's expression. When she read the book, she felt that the female lead was not a good person. Now that she had transmigrated, she felt that Qin Shuangshuang's eyes were full of scheming. The abacus was about to be thrown in her face!

When Liu Ruyan and the others arrived, they naturally didn't give Lin Zhiyue and his companion a friendly look. However, when they saw the Prince of Chu beside Song Ruozhen, they were all dumbfounded.

"Greetings, King of Chu."

Liu Ruyan and Song Zhiyu quickly bowed. Song Yi'an, who was blind, was naturally slower to react, but he also bowed after hearing the words "King of Chu".

"I apologize for disturbing you today," Chu Junting said, raising his hand.

Song Zhiyu and the others looked at each other, their curious gazes falling on Song Ruozhen. What had happened?

"Wang Lu." Song Ruozhen called out to the back, and saw Wang Lu walking up, pressing Tianshui down, his tone rude, "Hurry up and kneel down!"

Tianshui was kicked and knelt down in front of Liu Ruyan.

“Master Tianshui? This, this…” Liu Ruyan was extremely surprised.

“Mother, this person is a charlatan. Not only can he not help people improve their feng shui, but he also deliberately harms people. I have exposed him today. Moreover, his malicious intentions are evident in the fact that he buried something with evil energy in the lotus pond, intentionally destroying the feng shui of my home.”

Song Ruozhen glanced coldly at Tianshui, "Coincidentally, this swindler was specially invited back by Miss Qin from afar, and now she's bringing him here to dig things out."

The three people's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, and Liu Ruyan even stepped forward, asking, "Is he a liar?"

"Hurry up and find the thing!" Song Ruozhen said sternly.

Tianshui was startled. Now that his life was in Song Ruozhen's hands, he dared not delay for a moment and quickly ran to the lotus pond to dig.

"Little sister, if he's a fraud, what use are the things he buried?" Song Yi'an asked in a deep voice.

"He can only say a lot of things by raising ghost children. He doesn't really have the ability to help people get rid of disasters. He's good at harming people though. Our family's feng shui was originally quite good, but the things he buried have accumulated evil energy and blood evil. If this continues, the fortune of the whole family will get worse and worse."

With each sentence Song Ruozhen spoke, Liu Ruyan's face paled a little more. "Then is your marriage, and your second brother's current state, also related to this matter?"

“Mother, don’t think too much. Let’s resolve this as soon as possible; there’s still room for maneuver,” Song Ruozhen comforted her.

Song Yi'an unconsciously recalled the inexplicable chill he felt while sitting by the lotus pond yesterday, coupled with his sister's deliberate removal of his bracelet. Connecting all this with what was happening before his eyes, how could he not understand?

"Miss Qin, you stole my daughter's marriage. My Song family, for the sake of appearances, didn't pursue the matter too much with you, but you still resorted to such insidious means behind my back. Isn't that too despicable?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes were red, and her gaze at Qin Shuangshuang looked like she wanted to devour her!

Recently, her family has been plagued by misfortunes, so she specially invited Master Tianshui to help them out, but unexpectedly, it ended up harming her own children instead!

“Madam Song, Shuangshuang was also deceived; it wasn’t intentional…” Lin Zhiyue explained in a deep voice.

"boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, Song Zhiyu threw a punch at him.

"I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard! Not only did you betray my sister, but you also fell for this vicious and heartless wretch to harm our whole family! You'll die a horrible death!"

Lin Zhiyue was beaten by Song Zhiyu yesterday, and he didn't expect to be beaten again today. He was furious and said, "Song Zhiyu, don't go too far!"

"Who's really going too far? I've never seen such a shameless person like you. My fifth sister must have been incredibly unlucky to be engaged to you. My eldest brother went to the battlefield with you and even saved you there. And this is how you treat my sister?"

"Not only did you tell me to get lost, but you also had to send this kind of despicable person to harm our whole family!"

Song Zhiyu grew angrier the more he cursed, yet his words were surprisingly reasonable, leaving Lin Zhiyue, who wanted to retaliate, red-faced but unable to make a move.

If that punch lands, his reputation will be completely ruined!

"Lord Lin, I think what Young Master Song said makes a lot of sense. This matter was caused by Miss Qin. Regardless of whether she was truly unaware or pretending not to know, she was the one who caused it and cannot deny it."

Chu Junting looked at Lin Zhiyue's swollen face and said something fair.

"Thank you for upholding justice, Your Highness!" Song Zhiyu bowed, and couldn't help but think that he was indeed the King of Chu, praised by everyone, wise and decisive, unlike a despicable person like Lin Zhiyue!

"Your Highness, I was also deceived. I did not do it intentionally. Must I pay for the Song family with my life?"

Qin Shuangshuang felt wronged. Her eyes, glistening with tears, looked at Chu Junting. She couldn't help but think that she was the one who was closer to the King of Chu. She had tried so hard to appear in front of the King of Chu so many times, while Song Ruozhen and the King of Chu had never had any interaction.

In her previous life, the two had no contact until Song Ruozhen died. Could it be that a year ago, when she stopped relentlessly pursuing the King of Chu, the King of Chu became more and more concerned about her?

All these events, could it be that the King of Chu is jealous of her? Otherwise, what other explanation could there be?
