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

"Third brother, I know you've always been close to Yunwei, and it was you who insisted on helping Xiang Heng recently."

We agreed then and there that we would only help with this one favor, and that we would not get involved in anything else that happened to the Qin family afterward.

Gu Qingyan, the eldest son of the Gu family, said coldly, "Over the years, she has never thought of us when there are good things, and she has never come to see our parents during the New Year or other holidays."

A few days ago, my mother was unwell, and did she even bother to say a word of concern? Now that this has happened, the first thing she thinks of is asking for our help!

“Perhaps Yunwei doesn’t know anything about this at all. Besides, when they broke off relations, she said she wasn’t allowed to come again. How could she dare to come?” Gu Qingzhe retorted.

Gu Qingxiu sneered, "You wouldn't dare during holidays, so why do you dare now?"

Don't think I don't know that you and Yunwei have been in contact all these years. If it weren't for you mediating between them, how could Qin Shuangshuang and Qin Xiangheng have dared to act so recklessly?

I'm telling you, you're not helping them at all, you're harming them!

"That's because I had no other choice! As for what happened before, there's nothing to mention. She's my sister after all. I'm not as heartless as you guys, and I can't just stand by and do nothing about her!"

Gu Qingzhe spoke with righteous indignation, too lazy to pay attention to these two heartless fellows. He turned to Grand Tutor Gu and said:

“Father, Old Madam Lin was never one to be trifled with. When Lin Zhiyue was sentenced to exile, she blamed everything on Yunwei. She stormed into the house and started fighting without saying a word. The maids and servants in the house naturally tried to stop her.”

After a scuffle, injuries were inevitable. Just then, the imperial eunuch arrived with the imperial decree, and she declared that Yunwei was going to kill her.

Qin Zheng was worried that this matter would affect his future, so he directly pushed Yun Wei forward. If Old Madam Lin spoke recklessly in front of the Emperor, Yun Wei would definitely be in serious trouble!

Grand Tutor Gu listened to all of this quietly without saying a word.

"Father, you really won't just stand by and watch me die?" Gu Jiasanlang asked incredulously, his voice filled with anger. "I'll go find Mother; she definitely won't have the heart to do this!"

"Don't bother looking for me, I've already heard you."

Madam Gu walked over slowly. The marks left by time on her face did not make her look too old. On the contrary, they added a touch of kindness and composure, the wisdom that comes with the passage of time.

Gu Qingzhe breathed a sigh of relief. "Mother, it's good that you're here. Yunwei is in trouble, and my eldest and second brothers don't want to do anything about it. Are they just going to watch her die?"

"That's her own fault!"

The old lady had a cold face, her eyes full of disappointment. She had given birth to four children, three sons and only one daughter, Yunwei.

Yunwei was frail and sickly from a young age, and even her cries were much quieter than those of normal children, which made her especially distressed. In addition, since the way women and men are disciplined are different, she spoiled her a bit more.

Who would have thought that Yunwei's personality would become more and more arrogant, and most importantly, she was too selfish, as if everyone in the family did things for her as a matter of course, without any gratitude.

After she and her husband realized something was wrong, they disciplined her strictly and gave her a stern lecture, but to their surprise, she didn't listen at all and became even more outrageous.

When she insisted on marrying Qin Zheng, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and they ruthlessly severed their relationship!

Otherwise, if she is allowed to continue her reckless behavior, the reputation that the Gu family has built up over generations will be completely ruined!

Gu Qingyan and Gu Qingxiu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their mother had not softened her mind. Their biggest worry was that their parents would change their minds.

They now have their own children. Qin Xiangheng recently stole his good friend's fiancée and secretly conceived her before the marriage was even set, causing the entire Qin family to lose face.

Even though they had severed ties, people still looked at them strangely, and their own children were ridiculed as a result.

Not to mention Qin Shuangshuang's viciousness; she repeatedly robbed and framed people, and her actions were simply outrageous!

Compared to Yun Wei, she can be said to have surpassed her predecessor!

"Let's leave it at that. Don't interfere," said Grand Tutor Gu.

"Father, Yunwei is your own daughter! How can you be so heartless!" Gu Qingzhe was shocked and couldn't believe that his parents could be so cold-blooded as to watch his sister die!

Grand Tutor Gu glanced at him indifferently, "If you think we've done a bad job, you might as well solve it yourself. Anyway, you're all grown up now, and it's only right that you want to separate from the family. Just leave directly."

"I...that's not what I meant..."

Gu Jiasanlang's expression changed, and he immediately admitted defeat. He was not as capable as his older brothers. He could still live a life of luxury at home. If he moved out, he would never have such a good life again!

"Now that this matter has escalated to this point, someone will naturally investigate and find out the truth."

If she did it, she deserves to pay the price; if she didn't, no one will wrongly accuse her.

Grand Tutor Gu's expression was indifferent. Old Madam Lin was now just an ordinary citizen, and the judge would never favor her.

Whether it's true or false, you can tell at a glance.

If Gu Yunwei truly harbored thoughts of taking lives, it's a good thing she's pulled back from the brink now. Since they've never been able to control her anyway, they might as well let reality control her!

Only after the children had left did Grand Tutor Gu turn to his wife and ask, "Don't you think I'm being too heartless?"

“I understand your thoughts. We did try to find a solution in the past, but she wouldn’t listen to our advice.”

Perhaps... this is fate. I always treated her like a treasure, afraid she would melt in my mouth or break in my hands. Who would have thought that she would turn out to be such a mean and cold-blooded person?

She can be so cold-blooded towards us, I wouldn't be surprised if anything happened to her.

Madam Gu shook her head. She knew very well that the reason why Grand Tutor Gu broke off relations with Gu Yunwei back then was not entirely because, as everyone thought, she insisted on marrying Qin Zheng and ruined the original marriage of Madam Qin.

Instead, it was because they disagreed that Gu Yunwei actually injured her with a knife.

Once this got out, Yunwei's reputation would be completely ruined. In the end, they couldn't bring themselves to keep it a secret, but they did sever all ties.

"Shuangshuang is exactly like Yunwei back then— mean, vicious, and selfish. I really don't understand what we did wrong to deserve such punishment from God!"

Old Madam Gu looked weary. She had thought more than once that her eldest and second sons were very successful, and although her third son was lazy and gluttonous, he was not a bad person.

This daughter, however, is completely different from them in her behavior and mannerisms; they're practically not a family at all!

The dragon has nine sons, each different; perhaps this is the tribulation that God has given them.
