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

After Song Ruozhen and her group returned to the Song family, Song Yanzhou and Song Yi'an also learned about everything that had happened.

Upon hearing the result, they were not very surprised. In any case, the Liu family had always been like this, eager to give everything that belonged to their mother to their aunt and even the entire Liu family.

However, the two of them were taken aback when Song Ruozhen admitted that her mother was not Liu's mother.

"You don't need to worry about me. I was a little burdened at first, but now that I know I'm not their biological child, I understand everything."

"This is a good thing. From now on, they won't be able to use the accusation of being unfilial to control me anymore!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Song Yanzhou and his companion nodded, overjoyed to see that their mother had come to terms with everything.

The reason people feel bad is because they care. Now that they don't care anymore, the Liu family naturally no longer has any influence.

Only after Liu Ruyan left did Song Yi'an look at Song Ruozhen and ask, "Fifth sister, do you already know who Mother's biological parents are?"

He figured that given his younger sister's capabilities, she probably already knew about this, but just hadn't said it in front of their mother.

But... if she doesn't say anything, does that mean her mother's biological parents aren't good either?

Seeing that Song Yi'an had sent Song Zhiyu and Song Jingshen away, clearly worried that the two might accidentally reveal the matter, Song Ruozhen said:

“I did figure it out, but I didn’t tell my mother because I wasn’t sure about their attitude.”

"Whose house is this?" Song Yanzhou asked, his eyes narrowed.

Song Ruozhen didn't hide anything, "The Gu family."

Upon hearing this, Song Yanzhou and his companion were taken aback, but quickly realized who she was referring to.

"The Gu family?"

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "The child born to my maternal grandmother is Gu Yunwei. My mother and she were switched."

I don't know exactly what happened back then, but this is certain, and according to my recent investigation, Gu Yunwei and Liu Feiyan are very close.

Although they never visited the Liu family's residence, they did have dealings with each other, so... I think they know the truth!

These words were clearly more impactful than before. The two Song brothers had not yet recovered from the shock of their mother being a child of the Gu family when they learned that Gu Yunwei had connections with the Qin family, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

"Fifth sister, do you mean that none of this was an accident back then, but rather something the Liu family did on purpose?" Song Yi'an asked in a deep voice.

“Very likely!” A cold glint flashed in Song Ruozhen’s clear eyes. “If they were unaware of the situation, any normal pair of parents would have no reason to be so biased between their mother and aunt, their two daughters.”

On the contrary, it should be the norm for parents to prefer their mothers; what parent doesn't like a successful child?

"Given Gu Yunwei's proud nature, she looks down on ordinary people and naturally wouldn't have any interaction with her aunt."

Given their frequent interactions, the two must have known each other's identities. However, Grand Tutor Gu's status is far higher than that of the Liu family, which is why they took this step.

"Actually, Madam Qin and the Gu family do not look alike. Some people have mentioned this before. More importantly, their temperaments are different."

I heard that the Gu family severed ties with Madam Qin because they were completely disappointed in her. The Gu family are all upright and honest people; naturally, they wouldn't allow their daughter to steal another woman's husband, much less allow her to become a concubine.

Song Yanzhou recalled the news he had heard. When he entered the court as an official, he had naturally met Grand Tutor Gu and knew his character.

Thinking about it carefully, Madam Qin and Qin Shuangshuang's character is really different from that of the Gu family, no wonder they ended up severing ties.

“I’ve also inquired about the Gu family; their character is beyond reproach,” Song Ruozhen replied.

Song Yanzhou asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why don't you tell Mother about this? I think Mother must also want to know about her background. Is there something you're worried about?"

"Fifth sister, are you worried that the Gu family will treat Mother badly?" Song Yi'an asked, as if something had occurred to her.

Song Ruozhen's eyes were filled with complex emotions. "My mother has suffered a lot of grievances in the Liu family over the years, and the Gu family's attitude is currently unclear."

If they knew the truth and wholeheartedly protected their mother, that would be the best outcome. However, when Qin Xiangheng got into trouble recently, it was the Gu family who stepped in to protect him.

After all, she's a daughter I've raised for many years. I'm worried that my mother will compete with Gu Yunwei for my parents' love again..."

She understood her mother's feelings. She was worried that if she suddenly revealed the truth, her mother would not be able to handle it, so she thought she would wait until her mother saw through the true colors of the Liu family and completely broke with them before saying anything.

If the Gu family is extremely resolute in their attitude towards Gu Yunwei and completely severs ties after learning that she is not their biological child, then it is not too late to let them know that their mother is their biological child.

Song Yanzhou and his sister immediately understood their younger sister's good intentions; their mother had spent so much time finally letting go.

If it were the biological parents, it would be too unfair for them to have to compete with an adopted daughter.

"Fifth sister, you're right. Let's see how the Gu family reacts first. Anyway, it's been so many years, it won't hurt to wait a little longer."

Song Yanzhou couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, young ladies are more thoughtful."

"Actually, my father had a very good relationship with Grand Tutor Gu back then. The Gu family even had plans to marry Madam Qin to my father."

Fortunately, my father eventually married my mother, otherwise…

Song Yi'an recalled this story she had heard before and couldn't help but sigh, the coincidences in this world are truly hard to describe.

"Is that so?" Song Ruozhen was surprised. She really didn't know about the grudges and feuds between the elders.

After all, these things weren't mentioned in the original book.

Song Yi'an nodded, "I was also surprised when I heard about it, but when Grand Tutor Gu wanted to marry Madam Qin to my father, she was already having an affair with General Qin."

For this reason, Grand Tutor Gu always felt guilty towards his father. Furthermore, Madam Qin's meddling and unreasonable actions led to our reduced contact with the Gu family later on.

Hearing this, Song Ruozhen could easily imagine what Gu Yunwei, with her tendency to be so dramatic, would do...

Just then, Song Zhiyu suddenly rushed in and said, "Today is really lively! Ke Yuanzhi has come to see Fourth Brother!"

He had originally intended to call his fifth sister to come and watch the excitement, but upon arriving, he discovered that his eldest and second brothers were also there and hadn't left. His eyes widened in surprise.

"Big brother, second brother, did you deliberately send me away just now? You're keeping secrets from me, how unfair of you!"

Song Yanzhou and Song Zhiyu exchanged a glance, secretly surprised. When did their third brother become so smart?

"We were just concerned about how things are going between Fifth Sister and the King of Chu. What are you thinking? What could we possibly be hiding from you?" Song Yi'an made up an excuse to brush it off.

Song Zhiyu suddenly realized and excitedly said, "Yes, Fifth Sister, are you and the Prince of Chu getting married soon?"

Song Ruozhen: "???" If you're going to make an excuse, then make an excuse. Why are you shifting the blame onto her?
