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

"Zhen'er, His Highness has helped us so much today, why don't we invite him to have dinner at the manor tonight?"

Liu Ruyan looked at her daughter with concern. She was unsure of her daughter's intentions, but since the Prince of Chu was busy and had come to the mansion to help, it would be unreasonable for her to do nothing.

Song Ruozhen thought that made sense. If it weren't for Chu Junting's help today, it would have taken a lot more effort to deal with Liu Feiyan.

It sounds simple to refuse outright, but they had all witnessed the Sun family's unreasonable ways.

Not only did she have to go to the Liu family to complain, which put pressure on them, but she also had to spread rumors and ruin her mother's reputation. It was incredibly troublesome.

She didn't care about these empty titles, but her mother couldn't, and neither could the Song family.

Instead of waiting to die, why not take the initiative? Why should we always be held back by Liu Feiyan's rumors?

This time... it's the Song family's turn!

"Great! It's rare to be in such a good mood today. I'll cook a few dishes from the menu I'm planning to use at the new restaurant. Why don't we all try them?"

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. She used to enjoy cooking and had developed her culinary skills. Now that she owned a restaurant, she naturally needed to have some signature dishes.

"You've been researching new recipes lately?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise. Zhen'er used to have some cooking skills, but she didn't put much effort into it.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "I've learned a little bit, let's give it a try. I don't know if His Highness will have time tonight."

Chu Junting is usually very busy, not to mention the recent natural disasters and the surge in refugees, which will likely cause him a lot of trouble.

Liu Ruyan walked over with a smile and asked, "I wonder if Your Highness has time to stay for dinner today?"

"I'm free," Chu Junting replied without hesitation.

The speed was so fast that it surprised everyone present.

Song Jingshen: "!!!" Am I destined to be the brother-in-law?

Liu Ruyan's smile widened. "Zhen'er said she didn't know how to thank Your Highness for your help today, so she wanted to cook for you herself. I hope Your Highness won't find it offensive."

"Your Highness, my sister doesn't cook easily. It's quite rare for her to take the initiative to cook today," Song Jingshen said with a smile.

Chu Junting laughed and said, "I'm lucky today."

Just then, Song Zhiyu and Chu Yungui arrived in a hurry.

"Third brother, it's so good to have found you! This was extremely urgent..."

Chu Yungui looked anxious. He had searched everywhere for his third brother but couldn't find him. Unexpectedly, he finally found him at the Song family's residence.

However, before he could finish speaking, he noticed the murderous look in his third brother's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. What was going on?

"Extremely urgent?" Song Ruozhen asked in surprise. "Then I'm afraid Your Highness won't be able to stay for dinner tonight?"

Song Jingshen sighed, slightly regretful, "It's a pity that Fifth Sister rarely cooks. Your Highness, please go quickly if you have important business to attend to. There will definitely be other opportunities in the future."

Chu Junting frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Chu Yungui never expected that Song Ruozhen would personally cook for his third brother today. If he ruined such a good opportunity, he would have no choice but to be sent to the military camp!

On second thought, although Ruan Yucheng's condition was a bit urgent, he wouldn't die anytime soon. Anyway, the imperial physician had gone, so it should be fine!

When disaster strikes, even brothers must go their separate ways. Without hesitation, he went against his conscience and said:

"Actually, there's no rush. It's getting late anyway, we can have dinner first and then go."

Song Zhiyu was taken aback. "Wasn't it an extremely urgent matter?"

He had just seen that the Prince of Yun looked like he was in a real emergency, but now that he heard about eating, he wasn't in a hurry anymore.

Is King Yun as gluttonous as him?

Chu Yungui waved his hand, a cold sweat breaking out in his chest, and said with an awkward smile, "I like to joke when I speak. 'Extremely urgent' was just a casual remark, don't take it to heart."

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Prince Yun was usually a free spirit, and didn't think much of it.

While Song Ruozhen was cooking, she instructed Chenxiang to go out and spread the news.

As Chenxiang listened, her eyes widened and her smile grew brighter. She was now very adept at handling such matters, and just imagining the scene made her feel exhilarated!

"Don't worry, Miss, I will handle things perfectly."

"I've always trusted you to get things done," Song Ruozhen said with a smile.

As dusk settled, one dish after another was served, and everyone's eyes filled with amazement at the delicious and visually appealing food.

"I never expected Miss Song to be such a good cook!"

Chu Yungui was shocked. He had always thought Miss Song was amazing, but he hadn't expected her cooking skills to be so superb. Luckily, Lin Zhiyue had gone blind at such a young age, otherwise it would have been a real waste of Miss Song's talent!

"Third brother, I see that several of these dishes are your favorites, which shows that Miss Song put a lot of thought into them."

Chu Junting looked at the dishes in front of him, his dark and deep eyes shining brightly.

I knew she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn't know she was also skilled in metaphysics and medicine. Now I find out she's even a great cook. I wonder how many surprises she has in store.

Song Zhiyu couldn't help but wonder, so he reached out and poked Song Jingshen, saying:

"My fifth sister's cooking skills were indeed quite good before, but when did they become so good? I didn't even know!"

Song Jingshen was equally curious, but thinking about the fried chicken he had eaten today, he couldn't help but feel smug.

"Fifth Sister is good at so many things, what's so strange about that? The fried chicken I ate today was absolutely amazing. The shop will be a huge success tomorrow when it opens!"

"What fried chicken?" Song Zhiyu asked curiously. "Why didn't you bring some back for me to try?"

"forget."

Song Zhiyu was disgusted. "You didn't even remember to buy some for me, and you didn't even think to bring some back for your mother to try. You're so unfilial!"

Song Jingshen: "???"

He was so shocked by the King of Chu that he couldn't think of anything else.

When the last dish was served, Song Ruozhen arrived. Seeing that no one had touched their chopsticks, she couldn't help but say, "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me and to eat while it's hot?"

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Chu Junting. If the King of Chu didn't pick up his chopsticks, who would dare to?

The prince is clearly waiting for her to come along!

Song Ruozhen also noticed everyone's gaze and unconsciously turned her eyes to Chu Junting, only to see the man say calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, please have a seat."

As he spoke, he patted the empty chair beside him.

Song Ruozhen: "..." Is this the only seat left?

"Please sit down, everyone must be hungry," Liu Ruyan said with a smile. "Try Zhen'er's cooking."

As Chu Junting picked up his chopsticks, the Yun King and the others, who couldn't wait any longer, also quickly picked up some food and took a bite, and their eyes widened in surprise.
