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

With the hunting competition over and the farce over, Song Ruozhen prepared to leave with her brother.

"I need to go to Shuntian Prefecture first, I'll come find you later," Chu Junting said.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly. This matter has caused such a stir that the entire capital city is probably waiting to see the outcome. Chu Junting must resolve the case as soon as possible.

Seeing the two talking so familiarly, Yun Nianchu and Meng Qin subconsciously exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Will I come see you later?" As soon as Chu Junting left, Yun Nianchu nudged Song Ruozhen with her shoulder and chuckled, "Ruozhen, you and the prince are so close, could it be that you're together but haven't told us?"

A hint of unease flashed across Song Ruozhen's face as she explained, "The prince came to me to tell me the outcome of this matter."

"Ruozhen, your face is all red! To be honest, what more could you ask for in a man like the King of Chu?"

If I had such good fortune, I would have agreed without hesitation. Just imagine, if you became the Princess Consort of Chu, how would Qin Shuangshuang and the others dare to cause you any trouble? They'd be avoiding you like the plague!

Meng Qin smiled slyly. How many girls in the capital were in love with the King of Chu?

She had always thought that no one in the entire capital was good enough for him, but after meeting Ruozhen, she realized that the King of Chu had excellent taste and that Ruozhen and he were a perfect match!

Yun Nianchu nodded repeatedly, "The King of Chu is exceptionally good to you. He won the hunting competition just to give you a gift. How many girls were envious just now!"

I was standing there when I saw the girl next to me stomping her feet in anger, almost tearing her handkerchief to shreds.

Ruozhen, don't hesitate too much. Wouldn't you regret it later if you missed this opportunity?

"You all look like you've been bribed by the King of Chu."

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but laugh. In fact, given Chu Junting's actions today, it would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted.

She was used to the breakups and reconciliations between men and women, and found it all quite common. She herself had never been attracted to anyone.

The feeling was different only when facing Chu Junting.

Thinking about it carefully, he really does seem... to be impeccable.

"We're really doing this for your own good!" Meng Qin said very seriously. "Think about it, so many girls in the capital admire him. If he were a womanizer, he would have had a whole harem of wives and concubines by now."

Tang Xuening liked him so much that he didn't even blink when he rejected her, yet he was willing to give her a gift in public, which was tantamount to announcing it to the whole world.

"Once we're married, you don't need to worry at all. He won't be like Lin Zhiyue, who lost his soul to Qin Shuangshuang the moment she seduced him."

“I know he’s not that kind of person,” Song Ruozhen replied.

"Then what are you still hesitating about?" Yun Nianchu couldn't help but ask.

They had known each other for many years and believed they understood Ruozhen's temperament. This was a rare and excellent young man, and they really shouldn't hesitate!

Seeing that the two were determined to get to the bottom of things, Song Ruozhen frankly said, "It's not that easy to enter the royal family."

Meng Qin was taken aback, then realized what was going on. "I heard that when you went to the palace last time, the Empress didn't like you?"

"I don't think Tang Xuening is anything special. What kind of taste does Your Majesty have?" Yun Nianchu frowned, she hadn't expected the problem to be here!

"Shh!" Song Ruozhen covered Yun Nianchu's mouth. "You can't say things like that. It would be troublesome if someone caught you doing something wrong."

Yun Nianchu nodded repeatedly, but still felt indignant for Ruozhen, "Although the engagement was indeed called off, it was Lin Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang's fault in the first place. Why should it all be blamed on you?"

“But I see that the King of Chu is not hiding anything at all. He should know that the Empress is not satisfied, right?” Meng Qin asked.

Song Ruozhen responded. Actually, she wasn't afraid of the Empress, but the royal family's infighting was troublesome, as could be seen from Chu Tianche's assassination attempt today.

Once you get involved, you're in a quagmire.

"Ruozhen, I think you don't need to worry. If Her Majesty the Empress could really control Prince Chu, he wouldn't still be unmarried."

Several years ago, Her Majesty the Empress intended to arrange a marriage for the Prince of Chu, but look, it's still not settled. This shows that with the Prince of Chu around, you have nothing to fear from Her Majesty the Empress.

Besides, my mother said that no matter who a girl marries, she will inevitably suffer, and life is never perfect.

"Couples with harmonious relationships often have a wicked mother-in-law, while those with good mothers-in-law often have strained relationships. I think at least His Highness Prince Chu can protect you, right?"

"Meng Qin, I didn't expect you to have such a clear understanding of this matter?"

Song Ruozhen was surprised. Meng Qin seemed carefree and didn't care about anything. She thought she would not be able to handle this kind of thing, but she didn't expect her to be so insightful.

"These are all things my mother told me. Who doesn't want perfection? But I also understand that my mother is right." Meng Qin spread her hands, looking slightly helpless.

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing."

From the moment she never directly rejected Chu Junting, she understood her own thoughts; now, she was simply becoming more certain of her feelings.

Marriage is a major decision that requires careful consideration.

Meng Qin and Yun Nianchu had to leave with their families, and Song Ruozhen also got into the carriage with her brother.

However, the carriage stopped after traveling for a short while.

Song Ruozhen lifted the curtain. "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Song Yanzhou rode over on horseback and said, "The one in front is Miss Ruan. It seems she's waiting for Yi'an on purpose."

"Ruan Niantang?" Song Ruozhen was surprised. She had only thought Ruan Niantang was shy before, but she didn't expect her to be so bold as to go directly to her second brother.

Song Zhiyu shared the same thought and asked curiously, "Didn't Tian Jiaojiao say before that Miss Ruan liked Second Brother? Could it be...?"

"I'm afraid not. I noticed that she seemed anxious but hesitant to speak, so she must have something to ask of me."

Song Yanzhou shook his head. Although he was a little confused, he moved away since the two of them had something to discuss.

"Young Master Song, please forgive my intrusion, but could you please tell me who the doctor who cured your eyes was?" Ruan Niantang asked.

Song Yi'an was slightly taken aback, remembering that his younger sister's medical skills had not yet been passed on, and seeing Ruan Niantang's extreme anxiety, he said:

“Miss Ruan, it’s not that I’m unwilling to tell you, but I need to ask the doctor first.”

Hearing this, Ruan Niantang was not surprised and quickly said, "Then I will trouble you, Young Master Song. Whether the divine doctor agrees or not, I will be very grateful."

"Miss Ruan, who needs to see a doctor?" Song Yi'an asked.

I haven't heard of anyone in Grand Tutor Ruan's residence being sick recently, but judging from Ruan Niantang's anxious appearance, it must be someone very close to him.

Ruan Niantang hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's my eldest brother. He's been poisoned, but he's worried that if the news gets out, it will make his family worry, so he hasn't gone back yet. I hope you can keep this a secret for me, Second Young Master."

Song Yi'an understood. "Don't worry, I'll ask as soon as possible and let you know."

"Thank you very much, Second Young Master," Ruan Niantang said gratefully.
