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

"You finally have a child. As long as she behaves herself and gives birth to the child, I believe that with the Qin family's capabilities, they will not sit idly by and will find a way to bring you back to the capital."

However, Lin Zhiyue showed a bitter expression after hearing these words.

"It's impossible. General Qin has already divorced Madam Qin. He doesn't even care about Madam Qin and her daughter, so how could he possibly care about me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruolan's eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you say? How could General Qin possibly abandon them, mother and daughter?"

"It's true." Lin Zhiyue sighed deeply. He was indeed shocked when he first heard the news, but upon reflection, he realized that General Qin was indeed a cold-hearted person.

At this moment, Lin Ruolan suddenly stood up and angrily shouted at Gu Yunwei:

"You bitch! You lied to me!"

Gu Yunwei sneered, "So what if I lied to you? If you hadn't been making a scene, how could I have been divorced?"

If you hadn't pulled this stunt, I might still have had a chance to save them. But now you've caused me to lose power, and even my family dislikes me because I've been divorced and refuses to speak to me. Are you happy now?

"You said you could save Zhiyue, so I changed my mind. You deliberately spread false information to deceive me?"

Lin Ruolan was furious and wished she could rush in and beat Gu Yunwei up again.

However, since they weren't being held together at the moment, Gu Yunwei wasn't afraid at all.

"You changed your tune for your grandson's sake. You should know that your son has been sentenced to exile. What kind of good life can he have in that harsh and cold place?"

"Your Lin family might be on the verge of extinction, but I'm giving your Lin family a chance to continue its lineage!" Gu Yunwei sneered.

Lin Ruolan glanced at Qin Shuangshuang beside her, her gaze settling on her still flat stomach, and asked Lin Zhiyue, "Is Shuangshuang really pregnant? Or are they just lying to you on purpose?"

Seeing that Lin Ruolan doubted this, Lin Zhiyue explained, "The doctor came and examined her, and Shuangshuang is indeed pregnant."

However, he didn't know whether the child in Shuangshuang's belly was his.

However, Shuangshuang's affair only lasted one night, and it's unlikely to be such a coincidence. The most likely possibility is that it was his child.

"That's more like it. It wasn't for nothing that I changed my mind."

Lin Zhiyue frowned. "Mother, did you suddenly change your mind in front of the Emperor?"

Lin Ruolan nodded and slowly recounted how she had initially accused Gu Yunwei of wanting her life and that General Qin's mansion should be punished, but later changed her story after learning that Qin Shuangshuang was pregnant, saying that the two had only had a brief argument and that it wasn't such a serious matter.

Lin Zhiyue's heart sank as he listened. Having once been a subject, he knew all too well what such a change of address in front of the emperor meant.

That is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

"Has the Emperor said how he intends to deal with you?" Lin Zhiyue asked again.

Lin Ruolan shook her head. "The Emperor didn't say anything. He just glanced at the eunuch and ordered someone to take me away."

"Zhiyue, how long do you think I'll be locked up? I really don't want to stay in this place."

The memory of my last time here is still vivid in my mind. It was dark and damp, and my knees hurt especially badly at night. It was truly torturous.

However, Lin Zhiyue fell into a deep silence, a sense of panic spreading through his heart.

He knew all too well that his mother's actions were suicidal!

This kind of thing has happened before, and everyone who did it died. Does that mean my mother has to be executed too?

At the same time, Qin Shuangshuang lowered her voice and asked Gu Yunwei:

"Mother, isn't it a capital offense to suddenly change your address in front of the Emperor?"

"Yes, she's dead!"

Gu Yunwei's eyes gleamed with a vicious yet excited light; she couldn't wait for Lin Ruolan to die!

This shrew dared to hit her and even caused her to be divorced. How could she vent her anger if she didn't die?

Qin Shuangshuang's expression changed. "Death penalty?"

Gu Yunwei nodded, "She brought this on herself. If she hadn't gone to the palace to file a complaint, things wouldn't have turned out this way. She deserves it!"

It's a good thing she's dead. She's been causing trouble non-stop these past few days. Now that she's gone, you won't have such a bothersome mother-in-law anymore.

Although Qin Shuangshuang was a little flustered, she thought about it carefully and felt really good. Anyway, she had hated Lin Ruolan for a long time!

"Lin Ruolan will be executed at noon tomorrow!"

A jailer walked in and announced the news.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruolan, who had been complaining about how uncomfortable the prison cell was, was instantly dumbfounded.

"Son, what nonsense is he spouting? What execution?"

Lin Zhiyue's face grew increasingly grim; the thing he least wanted to happen had still happened!

"Of course you should be executed! How dare you mock the Emperor! That's a crime of deceiving the Emperor! If you don't die, who will?"

Gu Yunwei looked at Lin Ruolan with a mocking expression. Lin Ruolan was a complete shrew, all talk and no action, and had no idea how serious the situation was!

She saw through Lin Ruolan's weakness, which is why she spent a large sum of money to bribe the eunuch to pass on the message. Who would have thought that this fool would actually change his mind!

"No, that's impossible!" Lin Ruolan shook her head repeatedly, pulling Lin Zhiyue's hand in a pleading manner. "She's lying, isn't she? How could I possibly be beheaded?"

Lin Zhiyue's face was pale, and his handsome features were filled with a deep sense of helplessness. "Mother, the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death..."

Lin Ruolan's heart sank. "How could I have imagined things would be this serious?"

At this point, she glared venomously at Gu Yunwei, as if she understood everything, "It was you, you bitch, who deliberately framed me!"

"You had someone tell me that Shuangshuang is pregnant, and that you will definitely rescue Zhiyue, and that everything before will be wiped clean, and asked me to change my mind!"

You're clearly pushing me to my death to absolve yourself of guilt!

Lin Zhiyue looked at Gu Yunwei in shock after hearing his mother's words, "Mother-in-law, is what my mother said true?"

"So what if it's true?"

Gu Yunwei didn't even bother to pretend. "She stormed into my room and hit me. She even wanted to go to the palace to file a complaint with the emperor. Wasn't she trying to kill me?"

Besides, what I said was true; Shuangshuang is indeed pregnant, and I don't care about her hitting me before.

As for rescuing Zhiyue, we'll find a way to do that once Shuangshuang and I are out."

"In the end, this is all your mother's fault. It was troublesome enough that the two children came in, but you had to drag me into it too. Now that things have turned out like this, you still have the nerve to blame me?"

Lin Ruolan was furious, overwhelmed by the fear of being beheaded, and felt like she was going crazy.

"No, no, no, I can't be beheaded! I want to see the Emperor!"

I was telling the truth. I only changed my story because I love my grandson. Why should I have my head chopped off?

"Zhiyue, think of something! Are you just going to watch me die?"

As Lin Ruolan spoke, she burst into tears, sitting on the ground and wailing, "It was Gu Yunwei! That bitch deliberately framed me! I was deceived by her! This has nothing to do with me!"
