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

“Miss Qin, please take it off and you’ll see for yourself,” Chenxiang said.

Qin Shuangshuang had no choice but to take it off. Chenxiang held the jade bracelet and walked around in front of everyone, saying, "Everyone, look carefully. The engraving on it is my young lady's nickname, Zhen'er!"

"Not to mention that the Marquis and the young lady are not yet married, even if they were, what respectable family would misappropriate the lady's dowry?"

Since ancient times, dowry has been a woman's possession, and even her husband's family has no right to use it unless she is willing. But Lin Zhiyue took it without saying a word, which can be called theft.

When Song Ruozhen's third brother, Song Zhiyu, arrived, he heard Lin Zhiyue give the jade bracelet that his mother had given to Zhen'er as part of her dowry to Qin Shuangshuang. Enraged, he punched her directly!

"You bastard!"

Lin Zhiyue was caught off guard and hit by a fist. His face turned sharply to one side, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

However, Song Zhiyu showed no sign of stopping. Today was his sister's wedding day, and his whole family had happily sent her off from the mansion. Who would have thought that she would suffer such humiliation upon arriving at the Linhou mansion!

"Bang bang bang!"

His fists kept pounding, Song Zhiyu was like a furious lion. How could their beloved little sister be treated so wronged!

"Young Master Song, stop right now!"

Seeing Lin Zhiyue get so angry after being hit, Qin Shuangshuang rushed forward to stand in front of him, and then—she got slapped hard by Song Zhiyu.

"You bitch, who do you think you are? How dare you ruin my sister's wedding!"

Seeing her third brother's actions, Song Ruozhen secretly clapped her hands in her heart and cheered, "Well done!"

"Song Zhiyu, it's one thing for you to hit me, but why did you hit Shuangshuang?"

Seeing Qin Shuangshuang being beaten, Lin Zhiyue could no longer hold back and threw a punch at Song Zhiyu.

Song Ruozhen's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. This scumbag even wanted to lay a hand on her brother? What a dream!

She casually picked up a pebble and shot it. The seemingly small pebble struck Lin Zhiyue in the back of the knee with great force, causing him to stumble and kneel straight down in front of Song Zhiyu.

Song Zhiyu: "?"

"Lin Zhiyue, you've abandoned all sense of shame for money, but if you're going to kneel, you should kneel to my sister, kneeling to me won't do you any good!"

Song Ruozhen almost burst out laughing. What a wonderful third brother she had!

Lin Zhiyue's face was terribly gloomy. He stood up with Qin Shuangshuang's help, his face flushed red and on the verge of exploding with rage. "Who was that just now! Who threw a stone at me!"

No one paid attention.

"Isn't this retribution?" Song Ruozhen feigned surprise. "Heaven and earth have spirits; this person is too shameless and will be punished by heaven."

Just as Lin Zhiyue was about to lash out, Qin Shuangshuang spoke up in defense, "Miss Song, there is still affection between you and the Marquis. Isn't it a bit harsh to say such things?"

"Me, mean-spirited?" Song Ruozhen sat on the chair that Chen Xiang had brought over, practically munching on melon seeds while watching the show. She pointed at Lin Zhiyue, "One of you is spending my money to support another woman, and the other is shamelessly taking my fiancé. You two are in cahoots, how dare you call me mean-spirited?"

"Shameless bastard!" Song Zhiyu looked at his younger sister with disgust and heartache. "Don't worry, little sister. You are the apple of our Song family's eye. How can you let such a slut bully you?"

"I think Lin Zhiyue is blind as a bat; it's better if this marriage doesn't happen!"

"Men, move all of my Song family's belongings away! Smash anything you can't move! They don't deserve to own my Song family's things!"

All sorts of jade ornaments, silks and satins, storeroom silver, even beds and tables, and even potted plants were all taken away. The newly laid tiles on the roof were smashed, and the sun shone directly into the house.

Song Ruozhen raised her hand with satisfaction, "All those who are preparing the banquet, bring your things and come with me. We'll hold a three-day continuous banquet in front of my Song residence to entertain the people!"

Lin Zhiyue was so angry that his face turned ashen, but Song Ruozhen slammed down an account book.

"Besides what I took, the Marquis still owes me eight million taels of silver. Deliver it to my Song residence within one day, or I will beat the drum to appeal for justice and take you to court!"

"What? Eight million taels?" Lin Zhiyue's expression changed drastically. "How could the Marquis's mansion have spent so much money in just two years?"

"My lord, please don't be anxious. Every single item in the accounts is recorded. Putting aside everything else, you've sent me twelve letters in the past two years, each one asking for money. Don't you know what's going on?"

Song Ruozhen scoffed and smashed the Linhou Mansion's plaque as she walked out of the gate.

With a loud crash, it shattered into pieces.

"I just had this plaque made a few days ago. It's not needed now, so it's not unreasonable to smash it, is it?"

With a mocking look at Lin Zhiyue, Song Ruozhen left the Lin residence with firm steps, only to bump into a noble and dignified figure at the door.

The man was handsome and refined, his black brocade robe accentuating his noble bearing. His dark eyes were as deep as an ancient well, calm and composed.

A hint of surprise flashed across her clear eyes. This person's luck was actually better than Lin Zhiyue's.

Chu Junting looked at Song Ruozhen, who was venting her anger and resentment, and was surprised. In her previous life, Song Ruozhen had always endured humiliation and paved the way for Lin Zhiyue, which led to his lifelong glory. Could it be that... she was also reborn?

This... is interesting!

Song House.

"Zhen'er, why are you back?"

Liu Ruyan stepped forward quickly, her eyes filled with shock. How could one return to their parents' home on their wedding day?

"Mother, I'm not getting married."

"What a lousy Marquis's mansion! Fifth Sister won't marry him. I thought Lin Zhiyue looked decent enough before, but I never expected him to do such a disgraceful thing. He's taking a concubine on his wedding day. Does he think the entire Song family is dead?"

Before Song Zhiyu could vent his resentment, he started reciting like a firecracker.

"That Qin Shuangshuang, she's been obsessed with the Third Prince for the past few years. Now that she's too old to get married, she finally agreed to Lin Zhiyue's proposal. But this guy is so spineless, he just went for it and treated her like a treasure. It's really not satisfying that I didn't manage to smash his head today!"

"W-what?" Liu Ruyan's face turned pale, and she almost fainted. Her eyes were red, and her voice was filled with despair. "How could the Lin family humiliate my daughter like this? What has our Song family ever done to wrong them?"

Song Ruozhen quickly helped her up, "Mother, don't be sad. You should be glad that I didn't get married today."

Not to mention that I was already engaged to him, and he was the one who knelt in the mansion to beg for my hand in marriage back then. He is also my brother who has been through thick and thin with me. Anyone would treat me badly. But the fact that he can do such a thing today shows that he is heartless, selfish and cold-blooded.

If I were to marry him, I would have no hope for the rest of my life.

Liu Ruyan held her hand, her eyes filled with tenderness, "Now that the master is missing, and your eldest and second brothers have both met with misfortune, the family is in dire straits. I had hoped that you would have a smooth life after marrying Marquis Lin, but unexpectedly..."

"Zhen'er, it's all my fault! I actually thought Marquis Lin was someone I could entrust my life to!"
