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

Ever since Song Jingshen returned, he learned that Lin Zhiyue had abandoned his younger sister for Qin Shuangshuang, and he was extremely unhappy about it.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to teach Lin Zhiyue a lesson, but later learned that his third brother and the others had already taken action, and now he didn't even have a place to stay.

If it were a normal person, they wouldn't be in the mood to show off their love like this. They'd be so embarrassed. Luckily, Fifth Sister didn't marry him!

"Qin Shuangshuang's skin is thicker than most people's!"

Meng Qin walked up to Song Ruozhen with an eyesore. "So many people disliked her after she came today, but she doesn't care at all and is even gloating over herself."

I noticed Lin Zhiyue's smile was almost more like a grimace; she seemed oblivious to everything. I realized they wouldn't last much longer.

Song Ruozhen looked at Meng Qin in front of her and chuckled, "Is the amulet effective?"

"This is so useful!" Meng Qin excitedly grabbed Song Ruozhen's hand, her eyes filled with gratitude. "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I might not even be alive to be here now!"

Song Jingshen and the others standing to the side couldn't help but be surprised. What did he mean by that?

"I still feel lingering fear when I think about what happened that day. If it weren't for your amulet, I would have been seriously injured if I had fallen off that hillside, even if I hadn't died."

I went to look for you after I got back, but you weren't home. Then I had a lot of things to take care of at home, and it wasn't until today that I finally had a chance to see you.

Speaking of the trouble at home, Meng Qin's feelings were complicated. Who would have thought that it was hard to guard against a thief in one's own home, and that she almost lost her life because of her cousin!

My cousin usually seems so gentle and kind, who would have thought she could be so vicious?

Song Ruozhen had foreseen the grudges involved; in a large mansion, which family didn't have some troubles?

It's a good thing that we can take this opportunity to find the mastermind behind this, which will at least prevent us from being harmed again in the future.

"Every family has its own problems. Even brothers can have disagreements, let alone cousins."

"You have a good personality and your family treats you well, so it's inevitable that you'll attract jealousy," Song Ruozhen comforted her.

Meng Qin had originally planned to talk to Song Ruozhen properly when there were fewer people around, and apologize to her at the same time.

Ruozhen saved her, and she had never properly thanked her. Although she left a thank-you gift last time, it wasn't sincere enough. Who would have thought that before she could say anything, Ruozhen would know everything?

Is this calculated?

Meng Qin's eyes widened in astonishment. What incredible skill was this?!

"Ruozhen, from now on you will be my older sister, and I will definitely be your best friend for life!"

Seeing Meng Qin suddenly link arms with her younger sister and press her head against his neck, as if she wouldn't leave no matter how much he disliked her, Song Jingshen had a complicated expression.

"Zhiyu, while I've been away from the capital, my fifth sister has made quite a few friends!"

Song Zhiyu nodded, "Fifth Sister has a good personality, so it's no wonder she has many friends. She just rarely went out before, but now that she goes out more often, she naturally has more friends."

In his eyes, his fifth sister was the best.

Meng Qin did this because she has good judgment!

"Third Brother Song, I heard you've become an imperial bodyguard. Congratulations!" Meng Qin congratulated him.

Song Zhiyu scratched his head sheepishly. "Thank you."

In no time at all, people came one after another to congratulate him. With this achievement, as long as Song Zhiyu didn't commit a capital crime, his future would be smooth sailing.

Because of the assassination attempt, the participants in the hunting competition lost some of their enthusiasm.

However, when the final result was announced, the crowd still erupted in gasps of amazement.

"The first place belongs to the King of Chu!"

Upon hearing this, everyone praised it, and it was no exception.

"The King of Chu's horsemanship and archery have always been first-rate. Today, he not only saved two princes but also won first place. He truly lives up to his reputation!"

"I heard that the King of Chu captured two of the escapees. That's truly impressive!"

Chu Junting was not usually interested in such achievements, but at this moment, his gaze turned to Song Ruozhen.

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Junting and saw a smile as bright as the sun bloom on the man's handsome face.

In that instant, he seemed more dazzling than the sunlight; his warm and flamboyant smile appeared unrestrained, exuding a unique elegance and carefree spirit characteristic of his age.

It makes your heart skip a beat.

As the first place winner, the rewards were naturally plentiful, and among these rewards, everyone was surprised to find that the King of Chu had actually chosen a complete set of headdresses.

The entire headdress, made of solid gold and inlaid with rubies, is exquisitely crafted. It is not an ordinary item that can be seen elsewhere, but a rare treasure.

Everyone can tell at a glance that its value is absolutely extraordinary.

However, it was quite surprising that the King of Chu chose this reward from among many others.

"Miss, isn't this the same headdress you praised as beautiful before?"

Chenxiang's eyes revealed barely concealed excitement. These rewards had been placed in front of her earlier, and the young lady thought the headdress was truly beautiful after seeing it.

Unfortunately, it is too precious, and only those who win first place have a chance to obtain it.

However, could it be that His Highness the King of Chu chose this jewelry at this time because he intends to give it to his young mistress?

Thinking of this, Chenxiang became nervous for her young lady. If it were true... that would be wonderful!

When Song Ruozhen saw Chu Junting choose the jewelry, she had a vague premonition. Then she saw the man walk towards her under the spotlight after receiving the jewelry.

In that instant, her pupils widened involuntarily.

Chu Junting walked up to Song Ruozhen with a faint smile and handed her the jewelry he was holding.

"This is for you, do you like it?"

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback, and looked at the man in front of her questioningly, for the Empress was watching right there.

However, Chu Junting remained calm and simply gestured for her to accept it. "I thought you would like it, or do you prefer something else?"

"!!!"

"Give it to me? You worked so hard to get first place." Song Ruozhen hesitated.

This headdress is so alluring that no woman could resist its charm; it's impossible not to like it.

"I only won first place so that I could give you a gift. If you don't like it, then there's no point in me winning first place."

Seeing that the man seemed to think that if she said she didn't like it, he would take it back and exchange it for something else she liked, Song Ruozhen quickly accepted the jewelry.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I like it very much."

The girls present watched this scene with barely concealed envy or jealousy in their eyes.

Despite the numerous rumors circulating beforehand, many people still didn't believe it, after all, the King of Chu was always aloof and no girl had ever caught his eye.

It wasn't until they saw it with their own eyes that they realized the King of Chu truly cared for Song Ruozhen.

Otherwise, he would never have so openly shown his affection for Song Ruozhen in front of so many people.

"Ruozhen is truly lucky. Has the King of Chu made this a public announcement to the world?"
