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

Qin family.

Guo Yuelin frowned as she looked at the woman who appeared outside the courtyard. She had only been back for a few days, and she had already run into He Xiangning more than once.

She had always looked down on women like that. Qin Shuangshuang's infidelity was already disgusting, let alone He Xiangning, who mingled with a group of beggars. It was simply disgusting to look at her.

“Miss He, I’ve already refrained from saying anything about you staying in my manor since you’re Shuangshuang’s friend. But why are you constantly running near my courtyard?”

Guo Yuelin frowned. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable whenever she saw He Xiangning, especially since the woman seemed to be deliberately flirting. Could she be trying to seduce her husband?

He Xiangning was startled and quickly explained, "I... I just happened to be passing by."

A few days ago, she and Qin Zhiyuan got along very well. She thought that as long as she could take the opportunity to get pregnant or give herself more time, she could coax Qin Zhiyuan into submission and stay in the Qin family without any problem.

Who would have thought that Qin Zhiyuan had been avoiding Guo Yuelin ever since she came back? Only then did she realize that this guy was actually afraid of his wife!

She was truly unwilling to accept this, which is why she tried every means to come to this area to see Qin Zhiyuan.

"Where are you going that you have to pass through this area?" Guo Yuelin scoffed. She wasn't so easily fooled!

He Xiangning's gaze fell on Qin Zhiyuan, who came out of the house. As soon as he saw her, his expression changed, and he quickly signaled to her with his eyes not to say anything.

“I’m going to the kitchen,” He Xiangning explained.

Qin Shuangshuang happened to be passing by and saw He Xiangning there. When she met Guo Yuelin's disdainful gaze, she felt a pang of displeasure and said, "Xiangning, let's go!"

“Okay!” He Xiangning quickly agreed and left together.

Guo Yuelin then glanced at Qin Zhiyuan and said, "I don't think He Xiangning is a peaceful person either. After being kicked out of the He family, she seems to have become dependent on our Qin family."

"I don't know what's gotten into Shuangshuang, keeping such a nuisance in the house. You absolutely must stay away from her, lest you get infected!"

"Don't worry, Shuangshuang and I have never been close. What could her friends possibly have to do with me?" Qin Zhiyuan replied.

Guo Yuelin nodded, a look of satisfaction on her face. "That's good. You're a man, so you don't know the methods these women use."

Now that she's disgraced and kicked out, she's capable of anything to cling to a man!

Hearing this, Qin Zhiyuan felt uneasy. He had thought He Xiangning was easy to control, that it was just a fleeting affair and he could have some fun with her. But now it seemed like she was clinging to him. It seemed he had to find a way to break it off completely!

After Qin Shuangshuang left with He Xiangning, she said angrily, "Didn't I tell you that you should stay obediently in the courtyard while in the mansion and not go anywhere?"

My relationship with my older brother has never been good, and my sister-in-law is always looking down on me. You just had to be so blind and go after her. You're not only losing face for yourself, but also for me!

If you get kicked out, don't blame me for not helping you!

"Shuangshuang, don't be angry. I just wanted to go to the kitchen to ask for something nice to eat. I haven't been eating very well lately. I didn't expect your sister-in-law to act like a madwoman and target me for no reason," He Xiangning explained.

Qin Shuangshuang looked disgusted. "Why are you so greedy?"

“I’ve never had a hard life at home before, who would have thought that my life would be so miserable after coming to your house?”

He Xiangning was also aggrieved, but since she had no backing at the moment, she had no choice but to endure it for the time being. She said, "Shuangshuang, I ran into Tian Jiaojiao a couple of days ago. I told her, as you said, that the reason I ended up in this situation was all because of Song Ruozhen."

She was very indignant on my behalf and said she would tell Tang Xuening so they could help me find a way to bring Song Ruozhen to justice!

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuangshuang finally smiled. "Just as I expected, with Tang Xuening taking action, we don't need to deal with Song Ruozhen ourselves!"

"But there's absolutely no evidence for what happened that day. Even if we're certain it was Song Ruozhen, there's nothing we can do!"

He Xiangning couldn't help but worry. If there were a way, she would want to tear Song Ruozhen to pieces!

However, after the incident that day, she asked people near Yong'an Lane, including the beggars, but still found no clues.

Qin Shuangshuang chuckled, "Isn't that simple? If there's no evidence, we'll create it!"

Since the incident between her and Yao Jinsheng, there has been no evidence, but her mother found someone to testify for her and insisted on this point. Even Yao Jinsheng could not do anything about it, which finally cleared her name a little.

After that, she understood that if there was no evidence, she should just fabricate evidence. Then everyone would help her testify, and Song Ruozhen would be unable to defend herself!

"Will this work?" He Xiangning was skeptical; this wasn't the first time she'd been taken advantage of by Song Ruozhen.

That woman seemed calm and collected, but she was actually incredibly ruthless. If she tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice instead, she would be finished!

"What's wrong with that? You're such a loser!"

Qin Shuangshuang looked disgusted. "Is that all the courage you have? Don't you even think about who caused you to become like this? Are you really planning to let Song Ruozhen off the hook like this?"

Her methods are far from simple. If she becomes the Princess Consort of Chu, do you think you'll still have a chance to survive?

He Xiangning's heart skipped a beat, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "No! I can't let her get away with this!"

"That's right, just relax and wait, I'll take care of everything!"

Qin Shuangshuang smiled smugly. After Qin Xiangheng presented the painting to Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao was extremely pleased. Now they could be considered to have completely established a relationship with the Xiao family.

Not only does he have the support of Consort Xiao, but he also has the strong assistance of the Xiao family. He is just waiting for an opportunity to bring Lin Zhiyue back to the court!

Then, she will be able to live the pampered and enviable life she had in her previous life!

……

Tang Xuening quickly obtained concrete evidence from Tian Jiaojiao.

"You said He Xiangning has even found witnesses, but she's worried that if she offends Song Ruozhen again, she won't even be able to stay in the capital, so she's planning to give up?"

Tian Jiaojiao replied, "He Xiangning has it tough too. The reason she can stay at the Qin family temporarily is because Qin Shuangshuang cares about their past relationship. Otherwise, she wouldn't even have a place to stay."

To be honest, Song Ruozhen is exceptionally ruthless!

"You're right. His Highness Prince Chu has been completely deceived by this vicious woman. We can't let His Highness Prince Chu be kept in the dark. We must expose her true colors!" Tang Xuening said through gritted teeth.

"So when do you plan to take action?" Tian Jiaojiao asked.

"Such a big event should naturally be held when everyone is watching the hunting competition!" Tang Xuening smiled smugly. "Song Ruozhen is doomed!"
