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

"You can't report to the official!"

Qin Shuangshuang panicked upon hearing that the matter had been reported to the authorities, and tightly gripped Lin Zhiyue's hand, pleading, "My lord, please save me! You absolutely mustn't report this to the authorities!"

Lin Zhiyue was about to speak when Song Yi'an interrupted him coldly, "Lord Lin, I advise you not to speak. You should pay the price for your mistakes, unless you want to use your power to suppress us."

Even though Song Yi'an is blind, he speaks with great force and displays an unyielding spirit, making him someone not to be underestimated.

Lin Zhiyue would never use his power to oppress others. Not to mention that the Song family was already of high status, with the Prince of Chu here, if he dared to do such a thing, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

Zhao Zhide, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, was drinking tea when he heard that the matter involved not only Marquis Lin and the Song family, but also the Prince of Chu. He immediately disregarded everything else and led his men to rush over at full speed.

Upon hearing the whole story, she subconsciously looked at Chu Junting.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Since something has happened, just handle it impartially," Chu Junting said calmly.

Seeing that the King of Chu had no intention of protecting her, Zhao Zhide immediately understood and with a wave of his hand, took Qin Shuangshuang away.

"Lord Zhao, this matter..."

"Lord Lin, why don't you come with me? You are so close to Miss Qin, you should know something about her."

Lin Zhiyue's expression changed, and he was about to refuse when Song Ruozhen spoke up: "Lord Zhao is right. This matter is probably not the work of one person. We urge Lord Zhao to investigate thoroughly and give us justice."

Liu Ruyan and the two Song brothers unconsciously looked at Song Ruozhen. When Lord Zhao asked her questions earlier, Ruozhen told him everything, including how many people Tianshui had tricked. Seeing that Lord Zhao's expression was becoming more and more serious, they knew that this matter would not be easily resolved.

"It's getting late, Your Highness, would you like to stay for dinner?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Seeing Liu Ruyan's bewildered expression, Chu Junting waved his hand and said, "No need. I'm only here to witness this today. Once the matter is resolved, I won't bother you any longer."

Liu Ruyan originally wanted to ask Song Ruozhen to see him off, but thinking that it would be inconvenient for an unmarried young lady like her, she said to Song Zhiyu, "Go and see the prince off quickly."

Only when her own family was left in the courtyard did Liu Ruyan breathe a sigh of relief. "Zhen'er, I never expected Qin Shuangshuang to be so vicious. It's fortunate that you didn't marry into the Marquis's mansion, otherwise, with such a venomous woman around, you might really be in danger of losing your life!"

When Song Yi'an and Song Ruozhen talked about this yesterday, she thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now she has no doubts at all. She only feels scared. If Ruozhen really had an accident, how could she live?

"Qin Shuangshuang is clearly plotting against us. Let's teach her a lesson this time. However, today's incident has caused quite a stir. I'm afraid the Liu family won't let things rest either. Mother, why don't you pretend to be sick for a couple of days to avoid trouble?"

Song Ruozhen thought that once the news of the government affairs spread, it would become the talk of the entire capital. Although the Liu family was not a high-ranking or noble family, they all valued their reputation. Not to mention there was also a troublemaker, Liu Feiyan. She was afraid that they would never have a peaceful day.

“Mother, I think my sister is right.” Song Yi’an agreed wholeheartedly.

Liu Ruyan nodded. She already felt that things were complicated. Just dealing with the annulment of the engagement was troublesome enough. If her mother's family interfered again, she really didn't have the energy to deal with it.

"Zhen'er, why did the Prince come back with you today?"

"It was just a coincidence. The prince must have heard that Tianshui was capable, so he went to the Liu family to see for himself. He happened to see me expose his deception and learned that there was trouble in our mansion, so he came to the mansion to be a witness."

"I see. I never imagined the King of Chu would be so approachable," Liu Ruyan exclaimed in admiration.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "If Your Highness hadn't come, I'm afraid things wouldn't have been so easy to resolve today."

"Thank you for your hard work today. If you hadn't discovered this, the consequences would have been unimaginable... The Qin family's daughter committed such a vicious act. I will make them pay for it. It's simply outrageous!"

"You all rest at home first. I'm going to the Qin family and make a scene. That way, I'll have another excuse to claim illness when I come back tomorrow."

Liu Ruyan couldn't swallow this insult. There were many people who were laughing at the Song family. If she didn't stand up for herself, similar incidents would only happen again and again.

With her husband gone, she had to support the family and not let her children suffer!

Seeing her mother call her maid and leave, Song Ruozhen was surprised. In her memory, she rarely saw her mother like this.

“My mother is just used to being bullied by the Liu family. Her maternal grandparents never stand up for her, but she always has her father backing her up outside, so she is not afraid. I just don’t know if her father can come back…” Song Yi’an’s eyes were complicated.

“Father is still alive,” Song Ruozhen said.

She looked at her mother's face. Her marital palace was originally full, and although it had dimmed slightly recently, she was not destined to be a widow.

She hadn't finished reading the book initially; she only read a bit because the title was the same as the female supporting character's. However, she wasn't in a hurry. She figured she might as well make the best of it and resolve all the problems gradually.

Song Yi'an didn't take it to heart, taking it as her sister comforting her.

"Chenxiang, go and spread the word that Qin Shuangshuang is jealous of the marriage agreement between Marquis Lin and me, and deliberately plotted to harm me, hoping that I will die so that she can become the Marquis's wife."

"Miss, I'll go right away."

Chenxiang didn't ask any more questions. She wished everyone would know about this. How could anyone dare to harm her young lady? Why should she give Qin Shuangshuang any face?

Because the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture had brought people over, many people saw Lin Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang leave together. They were curious, but only guessed that the two of them were helping to solve the case. They dared not think that the two of them had committed the crime.

After finding out the whole story, they were all completely dumbfounded.

"Qin Shuangshuang is still a young lady of the Qin family. How could she be so vicious? The Song family is really unfortunate. They lost their marriage and were even harmed in this way."

"The eldest son of the Qin family has lost both legs, and the second son of the Qin family has gone blind. I'm afraid it's all related to this person. It's too terrible!"

Some people, however, had doubts: "That Miss Qin doesn't seem like a ruthless person. Could there be a mistake?"

"This matter was witnessed by the King of Chu himself, and the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture came to arrest the person. How could it be false?"

Now, no one doubted it anymore, and some even went to Shuntian Prefecture to see what was going on.

Knowing that her mother and third brother had gone to the Qin family together and that a fight was bound to break out, Song Ruozhen was worried that her family would suffer, so she decided to give them a taste of their own medicine.

She turned her head and found the little devil following closely behind her.

"Can you help me?" the little devil asked.

Song Ruozhen's lips curled slightly, "Didn't you just watch me betray you and send Tianshui to jail? How dare you ask me for help?"

“I think you are different from them, and I believe in you.”

The little devil scratched his head. He didn't know either. He was clearly afraid of the person in front of him, but he just felt that she was trustworthy. Besides, this person was highly skilled, and Tianshui couldn't talk to him like this at all.
