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

Qin Shuangshuang was absolutely furious!

That good-for-nothing He Xiangning only thought about dragging her down with her, even though she had clearly said not to involve her.

Tang Xuening stood right next to her. The Tang family was a top family in the capital and was not afraid of the Song family at all. This fool didn't use the Tang family as a shield, but instead insisted on pushing it onto herself!

"If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in this state?"

At this moment, He Xiangning could no longer care about sentimentality. She naturally knew that the Tang family was more powerful than the Qin family, but how could she dare to wrong the Tang family?

Even if they succeed, if they try to distance themselves from the situation and offend the Tang family, how can they expect to have a good outcome?

"You've always resented Song Ruozhen, and taking me in was just a way of using me as a pawn."

"I've already fallen to this state, what good would it do me to target Song Ruozhen? Young Master Xu would never even look at me; wouldn't I be a fool to fight against such a powerful opponent?"

"You did it yourself! I had no idea about the whole thing. I never expected that you would betray me so heartlessly after I kindly took you in!" Qin Shuangshuang said angrily.

Song Ruozhen watched the two bickering quietly. She had found it strange that Qin Shuangshuang had taken in He Xiangning before, but now she understood why. She even planned to use He Xiangning as a pawn.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be hard to refute if they were falsely accused by them, but since it was her, she was destined to miscalculate.

"Ruozhen, Qin Shuangshuang is really brainless. She has lost so many times before, but she still refuses to give up."

Finding a smart ally would have been one thing, but knowing He Xiangning is a fool, this outcome is not surprising at all.

Yun Nianchu looked disgusted. "She was the one who broke up your engagement. Not only does she not feel any remorse, but she keeps causing you trouble. I don't know where she gets the nerve!"

How dare you accuse me of being vicious? She's the vicious one!

"I think Tang Xuening is pretty stupid too. Didn't she say she investigated? And this is the result she came up with? I think they're all in cahoots to frame you!"

Meng Qin glanced at the seemingly innocent Tang Xuening; she didn't believe it at all.

"If it was truly to give He Xiangning justice, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, wouldn't she have informed the Prime Minister beforehand?"

Besides, she has evidence to prove she can get justice; she could simply report it to the authorities. But instead of reporting it, she deliberately chose to do so when there were the most people around. Isn't that just for her own publicity?

“That’s right!” Yun Nianchu exclaimed, looking at Meng Qin in amazement. “Clearly it’s for her own selfish reasons, yet she insists on making herself sound so righteous. How utterly hypocritical!”

Yun Nianchu and Meng Qin were not familiar with each other. She only knew that Meng Qin was a friend that Ruozhen had recently made. She had heard that Meng Qin was a straightforward person, but she was still a bit of a stranger to her.

Seeing that she was speaking up for Ruozhen in solidarity with her, she immediately felt the distance between them shrink and smiled.

He is indeed a good friend worth having.

Meng Qin blinked. She disliked Tang Xuening's behavior from the start. Tang Xuening always pretended to be aloof and detached from worldly affairs, and did all sorts of inhuman things.

She keeps saying that Ruozhen is vicious, but today she's determined to expose Tang Xuening's hypocrisy!

Song Jingshen and Song Zhiyu exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected their fifth sister's friend to be so formidable; she really didn't give them any face at all when she spoke.

Tang Xuening glared at Meng Qin through gritted teeth. That damned woman deliberately tried to harm her!

Unexpectedly, Song Ruozhen was also a scheming person. She didn't say anything herself and let the people around her say everything for her, so that she could play the pitiful role in front of the King of Chu!

Chu Junting saw all this clearly and turned his gaze to his mother, his expression saying very obviously: This is the girl that Mother has taken a liking to?

The Empress initially thought it was all a farce and trusted Tang Xuening more than Song Ruozhen.

After two bolts of lightning struck and killed the two people, her thoughts completely changed. Then, seeing Tang Xuening's lies exposed, she felt ashamed and inexplicably angry.

Tang Xuening had always been well-behaved in front of her, and Madam Tang had praised her incessantly, assuring her that she was good in every way. Now it seems... better not to mention it!

“Miss Tang, things have come to this point, there’s no point in hiding it anymore, so let’s just make things clear.”

"If you insist on not telling, then we'll have to go to the government office to get things cleared up. But I'm sure you know how the government will interrogate you," Chu Junting said quietly.

Tang Xuening was startled and dared not deny it anymore.

“I admit that I did have the idea of ​​showing off, but I did not frame anyone. It was because she spoke so sincerely and these people swore along with her that I believed her.”

As she spoke, Tang Xuening unconsciously glanced at Tian Jiaojiao in the crowd, her eyes filled with barely concealed anger.

She only believed it because Tian Jiaojiao told her with absolute certainty that it was true, which really got her into trouble!

Tian Jiaojiao was terrified when she noticed Tang Xuening's gaze. She lowered her head and wanted to hide. She had already been severely scolded by her father. If she got involved in this matter, she was afraid she would have no good days when she got back!

Tang Hongji noticed Tang Xuening's gaze and, recalling Tian Jiaojiao's frequent visits to the mansion recently, immediately realized the problem: "Is Tian Jiaojiao involved in this matter?"

“I warned you before that she wasn’t worth getting close to, but you wouldn’t listen. Now is not the time to be loyal. Tell me the truth.”

Your reputation is ruined today. You'll have to salvage it as much as you can, otherwise, even with your father protecting you, you're unlikely to escape unscathed!

Tang Hongji glanced at Chu Junting, his mood growing heavier. If he had known earlier, he would have stopped Xue Ning no matter what.

The King of Chu stood beside Song Ruozhen. Although he didn't say anything, his expression and actions spoke volumes.

He will never let those who bullied Song Ruozhen get away with it!

“If I involve Jiaojiao, I’m worried the situation will become even more chaotic.”

Tang Xuening's face turned ugly. Didn't she see that Qin Shuangshuang and He Xiangning were fighting in public, saying everything that should and shouldn't have been said? It was as if their secrets were about to be exposed.

What if Tian Jiaojiao is like them? How will she ever face anyone again?

“Look closely at the Empress’s face. If you cannot clear your name, you will never have the chance to enter the palace again, and no good family in the capital will be willing to let you in!”

Now that you've cleared your name, at worst you'll be branded as someone who misjudged people. Think it through, and don't blame me if I don't help you later!

Tang Hongji glared angrily at Tang Xuening. This idiot still couldn't grasp the situation!

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come to the hunting competition today. But now that he's involved, there's no escaping it!

Startled, Tang Xuening dared not throw a tantrum any longer and quickly said, "It was Tian Jiaojiao, I was wrong to trust her!"
