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

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly! Or you could have your old lady go to court and explain yourself. Do you think a scoundrel like you can just embezzle the Song family's money like that?"

Song Zhiyu looked disgusted and slapped Lin Tao across the face, making Lin Tao see stars.

He finally understood why his fifth sister had brought so many thugs; those guys from the Lin family were truly shameless!

"Why...why did you hit me?" Lin Tao asked in a panic.

"I can hit you if I want. You insolent bastard, he didn't even dare to fight back when I hit Lin Zhiyue, so who do you think you are?"

Song Zhiyu showed no mercy and slapped Lin Tao across the face again. Now both sides of his face were swollen, resembling a pig's head.

"They owe us eight million taels and haven't paid it back yet, and now they're eyeing our shop again. Didn't they say that Lord Lin was incorruptible and wouldn't bow down for five pecks of rice? What a shameless bunch! Get out of here!"

Lin Tao had only heard that the third young master of the Song family was impulsive and brainless, but he never expected him to be so reckless. He hit him without saying a word, which scared him so much that he covered his head and quickly backed away.

"You...you're too barbaric! I'm going back to tell my lord!"

"Get out!" Song Zhiyu shouted angrily.

Song Yi'an couldn't see, but after hearing these words, he frowned. "Lin Zhiyue refused the emperor's reward in court before, and he said such nice things. Now his despicable face is on full display. He is simply unworthy of his position!"

"If I had known this guy was such a scoundrel, would I have let Fifth Sister get engaged to him? Now that he's like this, he's just like Qin Shuangshuang. No wonder they ended up together!" Song Zhiyu got angrier and angrier, wishing he could just beat Lin Zhiyue to death.

Seeing that her two older brothers were thinking of her, Song Ruozhen felt a warmth in her heart. "Don't worry, they won't have an easy time."

There was a moment of silence between them. For some reason, despite the fifth sister's gentle and soft voice, they felt a chill run down their spines, sensing that Lin Zhiyue was about to be in deep trouble...

Song Ruozhen handed the written agreement to Song Yu and instructed him to move all the items in the Lin family's shop away. As for the repaired shop, he was told not to show any mercy and to smash it as he wished to restore it to its original state.

"Don't worry, Miss, I will take care of it."

Song Yu nodded repeatedly, feeling a pang of heartache but mostly relieved.

After everything was settled, Song Ruozhen went to a restaurant with her two brothers for a meal, only to bump into two figures pulling and tugging at each other on a quiet corner of the street.

"Brother Xiang Heng, I've already broken off the engagement. When are you going to marry me?"

Zhao Shuwan tugged at Qin Xiangheng's sleeve, her pretty face full of displeasure.

"Shuwan, you just broke off your engagement, and Song Yi'an and I are in the same school. If I marry you at this time, what will people say about us?"

I still hope to pass the imperial examination this spring, but if I ruin my reputation, won't my future be ruined? Then you'll have no choice but to suffer with me!

Song Ruozhen and Song Zhiyu exchanged a glance and subconsciously looked at Song Yi'an. They didn't expect Zhao Shuwan to be so shameless. She had just broken off her engagement a few days ago, and now she was already hanging out with Qin Xiangheng!

Judging from their appearance... it doesn't seem like they just started dating!

"Second Brother, shall we go back first?" Song Ruozhen couldn't help but ask.

It was Zhao Shuwan who was obsessed with Song Yi'an. He initially disliked her but gradually changed his attitude. He even went blind to protect Zhao Shuwan from being bullied. However, Zhao Shuwan had been having an affair with his friend from the academy behind his back. No one could accept that.

This is... so cruel to him.

Song Yi'an had already recognized the familiar voice as Zhao Shuwan's. He lowered his eyes and shook his head, indicating that he wanted to continue listening.

Seeing this, Song Ruozhen and the other person did not leave, listening to the two people pulling and tugging at each other while saying shameless things.

"So what do we do now? Ever since that good-for-nothing Song Yi'an went blind, I've wanted to break off the engagement. You kept telling me to wait, and now we've finally broken off the engagement. I've given you everything, so you can't not marry me."

You should have been more ruthless back then; if you had just smashed him to death, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

Now that I'm pregnant, I can wait, but can the baby in my belly wait?

Qin Xiangheng held Zhao Shuwan's hand and said, "Shuwan, you have to believe in my sincerity. Of course I want to marry you. If you hadn't been engaged to Song Yi'an, we would have been together long ago."

Or... you could go and cry to Song Yi'an, tell him you love me, but I'm reluctant to be with him because of his feelings. That blind man knows he's not good enough for you, so he'll definitely try to persuade me on your behalf. Then I can spread the word...

Then everyone will know that he was the one who brought you and me together, wouldn't that make perfect sense?

"Would he agree to this?" Zhao Shuwan hesitated.

"Song Yi'an is just a bookworm. How would he know that you're already mine? He might even thank me for taking good care of you!" Qin Xiangheng said smugly.

Song Yi'an stood there quietly listening to everything. His gentle and warm face gradually became clouded with gloom, and the veins on his temples bulged. He clenched his teeth and didn't say a word.

Song Zhiyu's fist hardened again.

"I'm going to beat those adulterous couple to death!"

"do not go."

Song Ruozhen was about to stop Song Zhiyu when Song Yi'an stopped him first.

Zhao Shuwan and Qin Xiangheng had finished talking and left. Song Zhiyu couldn't swallow his anger. "Second brother, why won't you let me go?"

"You went blind while protecting her. Now it seems she and Qin Xiangheng were having an affair. The person she was with that day was Qin Xiangheng. She only pretended someone was harassing her when she saw you. It was all a trap!"

"I understand!" Song Yi'an gritted her teeth. "It's precisely because they schemed against me like this that we can't let them off easily!"

“What good will it do to just beat them up? They’ll turn around and blame you, and you’ll end up in jail,” Song Ruozhen said.

"But...but I really can't stand it anymore. That Qin Xiangheng is full of empty talk about morality and righteousness. He used to often come to my second brother to ask for his homework. But he...he actually seduced my second brother's fiancée behind her back and even got her pregnant. I..."

Song Zhiyu's face turned bright red; he was absolutely furious!

Song Yi'an clenched her fists, took a deep breath to force herself to calm down, and gave a self-deprecating smile, "I pride myself on being extraordinary, yet I've been completely fooled by those close to me. It's all because I misjudged people; this is my retribution!"

"Second Brother, don't say such things." Song Ruozhen held Song Yi'an's hand. "Beasts don't deserve to be human. How can you judge them by human standards? Zhao Shuwan is not good enough for you. Breaking off the engagement is her loss. If such a woman really becomes my sister-in-law, then God is blind!"

Song Yi'an nodded, "You're right."

"What do we do now? I have to expose all of this and tell the whole world!" Song Zhiyu said anxiously.

Song Yi'an said coldly, "Of course we can't let them live so carefree!"
