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

Chu Junting glanced at the guy beside him. "You seem so interested in this matter. Do you have a girl you like? Why don't I go back and mention it to your mother? Don't worry about me. If you get married soon and your mother can hold the emperor's grandson, I'll have less to nag about."

"Brother, if you can't handle your own affairs, don't drag me into it. I've always been a womanizer, never getting involved with anyone. As long as you're not married, this matter won't affect me."

Chu Yungui was smug. Anyway, since he was at the back of the line and his third brother was in front, he could be carefree.

"Once I get married, you'll be next. Why are you so concerned about my marriage?" Chu Junting retorted.

Chu Yungui was taken aback. "You know what, it seems to be true. Royal brother, you have to hold on. I don't want to get married so young."

"Then let's stay here for now, there's no rush."

Chu Junting's gaze fell on the shimmering lake in the distance. Thinking of Song Ruozhen's advice not to go near the lake, he still felt it was better to be safe than sorry and to stay away.

“Brother, isn’t that Lin Zhiyue? He was unknown in the capital before, but now that he has made great contributions in battle, he has become a hot commodity, and everyone is swarming around him.”

Chu Yungui glanced at Lin Zhiyue, who was charming and shrewd, surrounded by young men and women, all of whom were eager to join in and say a few words.

"I heard that on his wedding day, he also welcomed his wife Ping into the house, which angered the Song family's daughter. The Song family's daughter immediately got off the bridal sedan chair, lifted her veil, and declared that she would annul the engagement. It was quite a spectacle, but unfortunately I didn't see it."

“I did see it,” Chu Junting said.

Chu Yungui asked in surprise, "Brother, haven't you always been uninterested in this kind of thing?"

"I just happened to run into her. That Miss Song is quite a character. She broke off her engagement in the street and emptied the Marquis's mansion." Chu Junting's lips unconsciously curled up. Recalling her fortune-telling skills, he added, "She seems to have some unusual abilities as well. In short, she is different from ordinary girls."

Chu Yungui rarely saw his third brother mention girls, let alone say so much in one go. The smile on his lips made him widen his eyes involuntarily. "Brother, you wouldn't happen to like the Song family girl, would you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Junting came to his senses and his face turned cold. "She just broke off the engagement. If you say such things, it will cause misunderstandings and ruin her reputation."

Chu Yungui: "???" He's already protecting her?

No way? He'd heard of the Song family girl before, but never met her. He figured that this silly girl, who was already managing everything for the Marquis's mansion before even getting married, must be a gentle and mild-mannered person, suitable to be the mistress of the house. She wouldn't make any mistakes, but being obedient and well-behaved wouldn't be very interesting.

My elder brother has much higher standards than me; how could he be interested in a girl like this?

"Lord Lin, I heard that Miss Qin is still imprisoned. You and she are deeply in love, so why did you come to the cherry blossom viewing banquet alone today? Could it be that marrying just one is not enough, so you've come to look for another one?"

When Song Zhiyu saw Lin Zhiyue attending the cherry blossom viewing party, he couldn't help but mock her, saying, "You really never stop working!"

Almost everyone in the capital had heard about this, and they were all very curious. However, because Lin Zhiyue was a rising star in the court, no one wanted to offend him, so they tacitly kept quiet about it. Who would have thought that Song Zhiyu would drop such a bombshell as soon as he arrived? Everyone kept their eyes downcast, their eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Zhiyue already harbored resentment towards Song Zhiyu for hitting him twice, and now that he had been publicly humiliated, he couldn't stand it. He turned his head and saw Song Ruozhen wearing a light blue dress.

The woman was alluring and graceful, her elegant long dress flowing gracefully around her, making her seem like a fairy descended to earth.

Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes like autumn waters, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her skin was like solidified cream, and her exquisite and bright features became even more beautiful and dazzling after being made up, making her unparalleled in the world.

In an instant, many people noticed the stunningly beautiful Song Ruozhen, their eyes filled with excitement.

"Whose beauty is this? I've never seen one like her before!"

The young men around her were all tempted; regardless of her true identity, marrying such a beauty would be a great fortune.

"Brother, look! A beauty is coming over there!"

Chu Yungui suddenly became excited, his gaze falling on the green-skirted beauty in the distance. "This is truly an absolute beauty, a face that could topple kingdoms. I wonder whose daughter she is?"

He stood up and straightened the wrinkles in his clothes. "Brother, I know you've always been indifferent to women, so I'll take my leave first!"

Chu Junting naturally recognized the woman on the lake shore. Seeing Chu Yungui leave in a hurry, his eyes darkened, and he said, "Wait."

"go together."

Chu Yungui: "???"

Lin Zhiyue knew Song Ruozhen was beautiful from the moment she lifted her veil on their wedding day. Two years ago, when they got engaged, he was so dejected after being rejected by Shuangshuang that he didn't even bother to look at her closely.

Seeing the excited expressions of the men around him, he felt increasingly displeased. "Miss Song has just broken off her engagement and is already attending the cherry blossom viewing banquet. What's wrong with me coming?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill, realizing that the beautiful woman before them was actually Miss Song.

Song Ruozhen lived a secluded life, rarely appearing in front of the world. She managed the family business while always wearing a light veil. When she reached marriageable age, she became engaged to Lin Zhiyue. Therefore, many people only knew her name but had never seen her in person.

“Now that Miss Song is over twenty, her prime years are over, so it’s no surprise that she’s eager to find a husband,” Lin Zhiyue sneered.

Song Ruozhen cursed inwardly, wondering how this book could be written, that such a petty and narrow-minded man could become the male lead.

"It's a pity that two years have been wasted. If Marquis Lin feels sorry for me, he should make more compensation. The eight million taels of silver he owed me on the day the engagement was annulled is now on the third day. I want to ask when you plan to return it? Do I have to go to Shuntian Prefecture to file a lawsuit?"

"The Lin family may be shameless, but the Song family still is. Of course, I advise the Marquis not to resort to deception and fraud. I heard that Miss Qin is still in prison. Could it be that she knew all along that the Marquis was short of money, but had no way to help herself, so she came up with this scheme?"

Song Ruozhen smiled alluringly, her sarcastic words sounding like expressions of concern.

Lin Zhiyue's face flushed red. "A woman should be gentle and magnanimous. Your smug and petty attitude is disgusting!"

"It's better than some people who take advantage of others and then smear you. Instead of criticizing others, look at yourself first. If Lord Lin has done nothing wrong, why is he so angry and ashamed?"

When it comes to roasting people, Song Ruozhen is never afraid. Rather than waiting for the other party to pick a fight, she prefers to strike first!

"Since we've brought this up today, if Marquis Lin doesn't return it to me today, I'll go to Shuntian Prefecture later, so that Miss Qin won't be lonely in the prison cell. You can go and keep her company."
