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

“I won’t let you work for nothing. My home is in the capital, it’s not far for you to go. My family must still be looking for me. As long as you tell them where I am, they will definitely give you money as a reward.”

"Oh?" Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow, not expecting that this little brat, despite his young age, knew quite a lot. "Tell me about it."

After the little devil recounted his story, Song Ruozhen learned that the little devil was actually Dong Beiyu, the grandson of Dong Linqing, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Several months ago, feeling bored at home, he went back to his ancestral home with his grandmother and aunt to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, his aunt murdered him and threw his body into a dry well.

"Why would your aunt want to harm you?" Song Ruozhen frowned. This little brat in front of her looked no more than six or seven years old. Why would she do something so cruel?

Dong Beiyu shook his head. "I...I don't know either."

"Then tell me about your family situation in detail." Song Ruozhen wasn't in a hurry. Even if she decided to help, she needed to find out the reasons first.

The position of Vice Minister of Rites is not low. Over the years, the original owner has been managing the Song family's business and has come into contact with many ladies. Coincidentally, she also remembered the aunt mentioned by Dong Beiyu. She was known in the capital for her virtue and gentleness. However, she had also heard a secret about her.

The Vice Minister of Rites had two sons: the elder son, Dong Hanzhou, and the younger son, Dong Zhushu.

The eldest son had two sons and a daughter. Dong Beiyu was the youngest son, while Dong Zhushu had only one daughter. His wife, Xu, had no more children.

“My aunt has always treated me very well. She always has a smile on her face whenever we meet. Even when my mother scolds me, she will speak up for me. This time when I went back to visit my family, my mother invited a tutor back to teach me. I didn’t want to study, so my aunt suggested taking me back to relax…”

As the little devil spoke, he lowered his head, but the resentment in his eyes grew stronger. "I don't understand why my aunt would want to harm me."

Song Ruozhen immediately understood that this Xu was a smiling tiger who used the trick of flattery to kill.

Dong Beiyu's mother scolded him for his own good, but Dong Beiyu was a child and didn't understand. He thought that Xu was coaxing him because she was good to him, but he didn't know that Xu wanted him to be addicted to playthings and lose his ambition.

How old is your older brother now?

“My older brother is twelve years old and studies at home. My mother is very concerned about his studies and doesn’t have much time to play with me.”

"I understand. I'll make time to go when I'm done with these things."

Song Ruozhen glanced at Dong Beiyu. The little devil was pitiful, dying without knowing why. Helping him fulfill his wish and be reincarnated soon would be a good thing. Moreover, Minister of Rites Dong Linqing had a high reputation in the capital. The Song family was going through a lot of troubles, so befriending the Vice Minister of Rites would be a great help.

Dong Beiyu was delighted. "Thank you, sister."

Qin family.

Gu Yunwei was taken aback when Liu Ruyan came demanding an explanation, and couldn't help but feel flustered. "Madam Song, what brings you here?"

"Don't you know why I'm here? We have no grudges against each other, but you instigated your daughter to use such despicable means. It's really despicable."

Liu Ruyan had a cold face. She hadn't originally planned to come, but she remembered that her husband's master, General Bai, was visiting the Qin family today, and she had heard that the Qin family had previously intended to form a marriage alliance with the Bai family, so she felt she had no choice but to come.

Previously, the two families had no connection, so she wouldn't interfere. But now that the other party is plotting step by step and is determined to harm them, how could she let them succeed in their marriage alliance? Who knows how much trouble they will face in the future!

"I don't know what you're talking about." Gu Yunwei denied it, but was shocked. She had done it very discreetly, so how could the Song family have found out?

"Stop pretending. Your daughter has been arrested and taken to Shuntian Prefecture. Instead of making excuses here, you should think of a way to get your daughter out of Shuntian Prefecture. Like father, like son!"

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly. She knew that the Madam Qin in front of her was also a second wife, but her reputation was not as good as that of an ordinary second wife.

It is said that General Qin had already started an affair with Gu Yunwei while his wife was still alive. After his wife died, Gu Yunwei became his second wife. Now that I think about it, Qin Shuangshuang's behavior is exactly the same as hers!

Extremely shameless!

"Yu'er," Liu Ruyan called out.

Song Zhiyu immediately picked up the gong and started banging it. The noisy sound instantly attracted everyone, including General Bai from the mansion.

"Ruyan, what brings you here?" General Bai asked in surprise.

Liu Ruyan looked aggrieved. "Master, the Qin family is truly despicable! My husband hasn't even returned yet, and they're already trying to kill us all..."

When Song Ruozhen arrived, she saw such a lively scene. Gu Yunwei stood aside and tried to explain, but no one believed her. Her mother had completely taken control of the situation.

Although General Bai was his father's mentor, he treated him almost like his own son. Naturally, he trusted the Song family at this moment. He was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring. General Qin was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan, trying his best to reason with him.

"It seems I don't need to take action here."

She chuckled softly and walked towards the back door of the Qin family's residence.

"Miss, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

At the corner, a beggar accidentally bumped into Song Ruozhen and immediately knelt down to apologize in a fluster.

“It’s alright.” Song Ruozhen looked at the little beggar, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was so thin that he was just skin and bones. His clothes were tattered and his shoes had a big hole in them, with his toes sticking out. Suddenly, an idea came to her.

"Here are ten taels of silver. How about I give you a pair of shoes in return?"

The beggar's eyes lit up when he saw the ten taels of silver, but then he looked at his shoes with exposed toes and felt embarrassed. "Miss, my shoes are so worn out, how can I exchange them for ten taels of silver?"

"If I say it's worth it, then it's worth it. I'll change my clothes and live a good life."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. Although the beggar in front of her was sallow and thin, his face was ruddy, which was a sign of good fortune. He would soon be free from his suffering. Since she had run into him, she might as well make a good connection with him.

"Thank you, Miss." The beggar's eyes reddened as he clutched the silver in his hand. Knowing he was lucky to have met such a kind lady today, he kowtowed several times, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

What do you need such worn-out shoes for?

Dong Beiyu was puzzled. He thought Song Ruozhen was just looking for an excuse because she felt sorry for the beggar. Who would have thought that she would actually accept it?

"Of course it works."

Song Ruozhen slipped into the Qin family's house through the back door. Because the commotion in front was so great, almost everyone was busy watching the excitement and naturally didn't pay attention to the back door.

She formed a hand seal, and a surge of energy appeared. By focusing this energy on her eyes, she could clearly see the fluctuations in the Qin family's fortune, and among these fluctuations, one was extremely familiar and related to their Song family.

Song Ruozhen arrived at Gu Yunwei's residence and began digging in a corner, quickly unearthing her own belongings.

Looking at the life-changing formation in front of her, she sneered. The Qin family's influence in the capital city has been mediocre in recent years because General Qin's abilities are not outstanding. He made a mistake on the battlefield last time and has not even had the opportunity to redeem himself.

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Yunwei is the daughter of Grand Tutor Gu, Fan Hua would have been gone long ago. On the other hand, her father's career has been on the rise. With General Bai as his mentor and several victories in a row, he has developed such thoughts.

She took out her own clothes and put the beggar's clothes inside.

Since you like exchanging lives so much, then go ahead and exchange them with a beggar!
