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

“I didn’t know He Xiangning at all before, I just felt sorry for her after hearing about her experience.”

The reason I agreed was because Jiaojiao kept insisting it was true, and I was completely kept in the dark!

Tang Hongji quickly replied, "Yes, my sister was simply misled by Tian Jiaojiao; she absolutely did not conspire with them to frame me."

The moment Tang Xuening revealed her identity, Tian Jiaojiao's heart sank, and she subconsciously turned to look at her father.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned my head, I was slapped.

Lord Tian was furious. "All you ever do is cause trouble! How could I have given birth to a daughter like you?"

Clean up your own mess. If you dare drag your family into it, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Tian Jiaojiao covered her slapped face, her eyes red-rimmed, but dared not utter a word in rebuttal.

My father was incredibly ruthless. My face was already swollen before, and now it felt like half of my face was numb from the blows.

She was just passing on a message; ultimately, it was Tang Xuening's decision. What did it have to do with her?

Now they want to blame it all on her!

Tang Xuening had a bad feeling when she noticed Tian Jiaojiao's angry gaze. Before she could speak, Tian Jiaojiao had already spoken.

"Xue Ning, what I said is true, but I was just telling you about it."

"If it weren't for the fact that you've lost your engagement with His Highness the Prince of Chu and are constantly unhappy, I wouldn't have said any of this. Now you're actually shifting all the blame onto me—that's just too much!"

Tian Jiaojiao's face was swollen on one side, and her expression was particularly ferocious due to anger.

"If you hadn't spoken with such conviction, would I have believed you? I don't usually get involved in these kinds of things at all!"

Tang Xuening said coldly, "Don't make it sound like all of this is for my own good. I am indeed a little unhappy, but I would never wrong someone because of this."

It's clear that you lost face at the Song family and hated Song Ruozhen, but I never expected that you would collude with them to deliberately give me false information in order to vent your anger!

"I'm not stupid. If I knew it was all fake, why would I be the one to stick my neck out? Instead, I let you and Qin Shuangshuang hide!"

Tang Hongji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tang Xuening had finally regained her senses.

"Your Highness, you have always been a brilliant judge of cases. You should be able to see that my sister was simply too naive and was thus manipulated. The real culprits are them!"

Chu Junting glanced at Tang Hongji indifferently, "Too naive? The Prime Minister's daughter shouldn't be that stupid."

Tang Hongji's expression froze, realizing that even after they had gone this far, the King of Chu had no intention of letting them go.

He glared at Tang Xuening fiercely, for she had somehow managed to cause such a huge disaster!

Meanwhile, during their argument, Qin Shuangshuang and He Xiangning had already exposed each other's true colors.

The fake sisterhood is on full display. He Xiangning says Qin Shuangshuang is vicious, and Qin Shuangshuang says He Xiangning is greedy. They were good sisters who cared for each other before, but now they hate each other.

"He Xiangning has already pointed out that everything was a frame-up by you, Qin Shuangshuang, what else do you have to say?"

Song Yanzhou said with a cold face, "During this period of time, you have targeted my sister time and time again, not only spreading rumors outside, but also directing and staging a big show yourself."

"No matter what, you can't escape today." Song Yanzhou's eyes were icy cold. This woman was truly a menace!

Qin Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear He Xiangning to pieces, while He Xiangning's eyes were also filled with resentment and venom.

"Shuangshuang was not involved in this matter at all. It was He Xiangning who harbored resentment and wanted to frame Song Ruozhen."

Now that her scheme has come to light, she's trying to drag Shuangshuang down with her by making an excuse for it. My sister has raised a heartless ingrate!

Qin Xiangheng naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Qin Shuangshuang suffer. Now that he was valued by the Xiao family, he had even greater faith in Qin Shuangshuang's abilities.

As long as he has this ability to foresee the future, he will surely rise to prominence and have a smooth career!

Seeing this, Guo Yuelin also said, "That's right, He Xiangning is a vicious person. When she was in the Qin family, she acted like a thief."

In my opinion, she's clearly just jealous of Shuangshuang, that's why she dragged her into this mess!

Qin Zhiyuan originally didn't want to get involved, but seeing his wife speak up, his feelings became even more complicated.

I've told my father more than once that Qin Shuangshuang is a menace, she's ruined the Lin family like this, and it would be best to kick her out to prevent her from dragging the Qin family down.

But my father wouldn't agree, and now look what's happened, the whole Qin family has been implicated!

Qin Shuangshuang was overjoyed to see that her family members were speaking up for her. "My family can testify that I have been sympathetic to He Xiangning and have done my best for her during this time."

However, I was already in debt and couldn't give her much money. Who would have thought she would hold a grudge against me and repay kindness with enmity!

“I can testify that I have seen He Xiangning acting suspiciously in the family more than once before. She definitely has bad intentions.”

Guo Yuelin spoke with great conviction, but she didn't really want to speak up for Qin Shuangshuang, since their relationship wasn't that good to begin with anyway.

Unfortunately, once Qin Shuangshuang is convicted, they will all be implicated. Even though Qin Shuangshuang caused the trouble, she has been ridiculed by countless people during this time.

She really didn't want to be a laughing stock anymore!

Song Ruozhen stared intently at Guo Yuelin, her eyebrows slightly raised. She hadn't expected her sister-in-law, Qin Shuangshuang, to be so considerate of the bigger picture.

But... another sucker!

"what happened?"

Chu Junting noticed the change in Song Ruozhen's expression. They had been watching the drama unfold since He Xiangning and Qin Shuangshuang started blaming each other, but her expression had changed now, which clearly indicated something was wrong.

"Looks like... we'll have to watch another good show today." Song Ruozhen said with a slight smile.

Chu Junting raised his eyebrows, seemingly quite interested.

"Qin Shuangshuang facilitated the marriage between He Xiangning and Young Master Qin. I thought the young mistress would be angry, but I didn't expect her to stand up for her at this time."

"They're truly family; the young mistress's magnanimity is admirable."

Song Ruozhen looked on with admiration, secretly sighed and shook her head, feeling quite ashamed of herself.

When Meng Qin and Yun Nianchu heard this gossip, their eyes widened involuntarily. However, noticing Ruozhen's signal, the two were in perfect sync and immediately realized what to do next.

The next moment, the two of them immediately concealed their shock and pretended to have known about it all along.

"I always said that those who can enter the Qin family are not ordinary people. If it were me, I would have gone back to my parents' home in anger long ago."

Look at Guo Yuelin's good temper; not only can she tolerate this, but she's also willing to stand up and help. I don't know how Qin Shuangshuang could bear to treat her sister-in-law like this.

Yun Nianchu looked at Guo Yuelin with sympathy, "Ruozhen, you see? I told you before that you have backbone. Not everyone can be as carefree as you. They can endure such grievances, but you just can't."
