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

“What lies? They’re telling the truth!” Tang Xuening immediately retorted.

"What evidence do you have to prove they're telling the truth?" Song Ruozhen retorted. "Just based on their words? I think you've clearly bribed them to frame me!"

Tang Xuening exclaimed incredulously, "They've already told you the truth to your face, and you still deny it? That's utterly shameless!"

"You think you can frame me by just finding a few people and making up a story? You're oversimplifying things!"

Song Ruozhen's eyes were full of mockery as she turned her gaze to the lying group, her eyes sharp:

"I remind you that today is the day Her Majesty the Empress is upholding justice, not a place where you can spout nonsense!"

If what you say is true and my crimes are proven, none of you will escape either; you will all go to jail!

I urge you to think carefully, lest you regret it after you're in jail!

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment flashed in Yunzhu's eyes, "Going to jail?"

They actually have to go to jail?

“Of course she’ll go to jail. Even if my sister was the mastermind, you were the ones who did it. Do you think you can get away with it?” Song Yi’an said coldly.

Yunzhu and the others exchanged glances, a palpable panic crossing their faces. They had only accepted money to handle this matter, but they had no idea they would end up in jail. This was unacceptable!

He Xiangning was surprised that Song Ruozhen was completely unpredictable and quickly said, "Song Ruozhen, are you threatening them in front of us?"

They aren't as malicious as you. They chose to stand up because they have a conscience. Even the government would turn a blind eye to such people!

Hearing this, the group felt reassured and a little more at ease.

They offended the Song family for money with the intention of leaving the capital after it was all over, but it wouldn't be worth it if they were imprisoned for it.

With Song Yanzhou in the military, I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to get out!

"No wonder you've risen to prominence after following Miss Tang. You, a mere commoner, can now act as a representative of the Shuntian Prefecture?" Chu Junting sneered, raising his eyebrows.

His cool and indifferent voice carried a hint of mockery, but contained not a trace of laughter, which sent shivers down one's spine.

He Xiangning was startled and lowered her head, not daring to speak. Tang Xuening's face also turned pale. He Xiangning was really a fool. How could she say such a thing in front of the Empress and the Prince?

If you want to plead for mercy, there will be plenty of opportunities later. Why are you in such a hurry now?

“Your Highness, He Xiangning was just in a hurry and spoke inappropriately. She never meant that. She just thought that these people still had a conscience and that the government would consider the matter.”

Tang Xuening explained to Chu Junting, "Now that all the certifications have been found, there is naturally no physical evidence for this kind of thing. But she is still unrepentant and even now she wants to threaten them into going back on their word. Your Highness, please don't be fooled by her!"

"Can a few people be convicted just because they come here and say something out of nowhere?"

Chu Junting glanced at He Xiangning indifferently, "I ask you, since you were knocked unconscious that day and know nothing about what happened after you fell into a coma, how did you find them?"

He Xiangning was stunned. "I...I saw their faces at the time."

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "Then the people I found are really useless. They tried to deal with a weak woman like you, and their faces were even seen?"

Besides, if it were really as you say, that I am ruthless, I would never have given you the chance to find out. I would either eliminate the root of the problem or drive people out of the capital. Why would I give you the opportunity to find people?

I heard that after you were kicked out of the He family, you were penniless and could only stay at the Qin family's place temporarily. Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue can't even repay the money they owe me, so you probably don't have enough money to go around searching for people, do you?"

Meng Qin chimed in, "The guards in our military mansion are all quite skilled. To handle such a secret matter, they should be sent to their trusted confidants. Ruozhen isn't stupid. Why would he send Yunzhu, that useless piece of trash, to find other help outside the mansion?"

This sounds so fake, anyone who believes it is a complete fool!

Others also felt that this was indeed the case, and that it didn't make sense!

He Xiangning couldn't help but get anxious when she saw this. "She must be worried that her family will find out about this, so she asked someone from outside to help her."

The rest of the Song family are all upright and incorruptible; they would not tolerate her doing such a vicious thing.

Song Zhiyu couldn't help but laugh, "Trying to flatter us at a time like this, trying to sow discord between us siblings? Let me tell you, that's impossible!"

My fifth sister isn't a ruthless person at all. Otherwise, if she wanted you dead, she wouldn't need to ask anyone else; she would have killed you directly!

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, never expecting that Song Zhiyu would dare to say such a thing in front of so many people.

But then I thought about it again. Song Zhiyu was a tough guy, fearless and ruthless, and he was also highly skilled in martial arts. Ordinary people really couldn't do anything to him.

Although these words were unpleasant, they made it clear to everyone that if Song Ruozhen really wanted to hire someone to do something, she wouldn't need to hire these useless people at all!

"I also found someone, the younger sister of Song Ruozhen's former personal maid. She can testify just how vicious Song Ruozhen is!"

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Tang Xuening quickly called for another person.

Looking at the face in front of her that bore a slight resemblance to Pei Lan's, Song Ruozhen's eyes gleamed with amusement.

She only has a few clueless people around her, it's really a feat that Qin Shuangshuang and the others managed to find them all.

Perrin is already dead, but unexpectedly, a younger sister has appeared.

“My sister has been serving Miss Song since she was a child. Who would have thought that Miss Song was in a bad mood on the day she broke off the engagement? My sister was kicked out by Miss Song for saying the wrong thing and was sent to the Liu family to be a concubine for the steward.”

The butler and his wife were ruthless; my sister was beaten every day, and in the end, she lost her life!

Peiyun cried with a bitter expression, “My sister was often abused when she was in the Song family. She had countless scars, big and small, but she never dared to tell anyone.”

She's perfectly capable of ruining Miss He; she's utterly heartless!

Tang Xuening was very satisfied and immediately said, "Everyone heard that, right? She can be so ruthless even to her personal maid. What do you think she wouldn't do?"

If she truly cared for Yunzhu, why would Yunzhu betray her? This shows there's something wrong with her!

Song Ruozhen glanced at Pei Yun and the others, not wanting to waste any more time, and said, "Since you speak so confidently, do you dare to swear to God? If you dare to utter even a single lie, may you be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

As she spoke, she casually took out a talisman, and everyone watched as she touched it, causing it to burst into flames.

"I'm just kindly reminding you, vows always come true!"

His few words, spoken casually and gently without any threat, somehow sent a chill down the spines of everyone present, creating an inexplicable sense of unease.
