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

Chapter 38 What a magnificent white lotus in this golden age!

Song House.

Song Ruozhen and the others were overjoyed to hear the news. Even the usually composed Song Yi'an ate an extra bowl of rice at noon.

"His Majesty said that you have been wronged this time, and these rewards are for you." Song Zhiyu placed the Shu brocade and hairpins in front of Song Ruozhen, and then said to Liu Ruyan, "His Majesty also said that Father's life or death is unknown, but he remembers everything he has done for the court and will definitely not let anyone bully our Song family."

Liu Ruyan's eyes reddened slightly, "His Majesty still remembers Master..."

“Mother, Father will come back sooner or later,” Song Ruozhen comforted. “Look at these Shu brocades and silks. I think the patterns suit you very well, and the peony hairpin style is also perfect for you.”

Looking at the fine silks and jewelry, Liu Ruyan's mood improved somewhat. "These were all bestowed upon you by the Emperor. Make yourself a few more beautiful clothes."

"The Emperor has sent so many gifts, Mother, please choose more. I can make enough clothes with the rest."

"Okay, Mother knows you are filial."

Liu Ruyan had her servants take the Shu brocade away with a smile. She was thinking that she would definitely make several beautiful clothes for her daughter at the Xu family's family reunion banquet in a few days, so that everyone could see her daughter's charm!

Seeing Liu Ruyan leave, Song Ruozhen turned to Song Yi'an, "Second Brother, the medicinal herbs have all been delivered. Shall I go and treat your eyes?"

Song Yi'an was slightly taken aback, noticing her younger sister's enthusiastic tone, and nodded with a faint smile, "Okay."

"Second brother, don't worry, my medical skills are excellent. You are my own second brother, how could I possibly harm you?" Song Ruozhen could tell that Song Yi'an did not believe in her medical skills, but because she was his beloved sister, she was still willing to spoil her and let her do whatever she wanted.

Song Zhiyu couldn't help but say, "Fifth sister, your second brother is rather weak. If you want to practice, why don't you practice on me? I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of needles."

Song Ruozhen: "..."

Does she seem that insane?

"Brother Yi'an."

Suddenly, a tearful voice rang out, and Zhao Shuwan appeared timid and hesitant, perfectly portraying the character's desire yet fear.

The three siblings remained silent; this woman's acting skills were truly first-rate.

Zhao Shuwan pretended to hesitate and stood there, waiting for Song Yi'an to call her over. Unexpectedly, Song Yi'an seemed not to hear her, which made her feel awkward.

"Brother Yi'an, are you still blaming me for breaking off our engagement?"

The woman stepped forward and grabbed Song Yi'an's sleeve. Her delicate face was full of grievance. "I didn't want to break off the engagement with you. You've always been so good to me. Now that you're injured, how can I bear to leave you?"

“Yes, I also want to ask you how you could be so heartless?” Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow.

Zhao Shuwan's expression froze. "This is all my parents' idea. They are only trying to do what's best for me. I am their daughter. It's understandable that they don't want me to marry Brother Yi'an, who is blind. But I really don't want to. No matter how I argue, it's no use. They are forcing me to break off the engagement."

"I've been confined to my residence for the past few days, and only today have I had the opportunity to see you all."

"Ruozhen, you're my good friend, you must understand my pain, right?" Zhao Shuwan blinked her innocent little eyes, full of expectation.

Song Ruozhen then remembered that the original owner and Zhao Shuwan were friends. Back then, Song Yi'an was full of talent and was the most talented in the capital. Zhao Shuwan took a liking to him and tried every means to become friends with the original owner.

He frequently appeared around Song Yi'an under the pretext of looking for the original owner of the body, and even boldly confessed his feelings. Despite being rejected multiple times, he did not give up, and Song Yi'an gradually changed her attitude.

Unfortunately, Zhao Shuwan was not a docile person at heart. However, Song Yi'an was self-disciplined and never overstepped the bounds even after their engagement. Unable to bear the loneliness, Zhao Shuwan hooked up with Qin Xiangheng. The two were kindred spirits and hit it off immediately. They were now secretly pregnant.

Remembering that she was also partly to blame, Song Ruozhen cursed her bad luck inwardly!

“I don’t understand.” Song Ruozhen bluntly exposed his argument.

Zhao Shuwan's eyes reddened. "Ruozhen, if you say that, you really want to distance yourself from me. I've always considered you my best friend. Now that I don't have the chance to be your sister-in-law, I'm also very sad. Why do you all blame me?"

Song Ruozhen: "..." What a big white lotus flower.

"Zhao Shuwan, you should speak with a clear conscience. Since you broke off the engagement, has our Song family said a single word?"

My second brother went blind while saving you. Anyone with a conscience wouldn't choose to break off the engagement at a time like this. I don't care if you or your family are shameless; you have nothing to do with the Song family anymore.

Our family doesn't like dealing with ungrateful people, so don't come here crying and bothering my second brother."

Song Ruozhen waved her hand dismissively, "Our family has been having a really bad run of bad luck lately. All sorts of shameless bastards are coming to cry. If it's a funeral, you should cry at home. What's the point of crying at someone else's house?"

Zhao Shuwan's eyes widened in disbelief. Song Ruozhen, who was always a well-bred young lady and spoke in a gentle voice, would rebuke her so sharply. Her words were far too harsh!

Song Zhiyu secretly admired his fifth sister's eloquence; indeed, cursing was an art.

He should learn a lot from his fifth sister!

"Exactly! It's one thing to be ungrateful and break off an engagement, but what's truly worrisome is that some people are shameless enough to want to get engaged to someone else right after breaking off an engagement."

As soon as Song Zhiyu finished speaking, he saw Zhao Shuwan's face turn pale and explained, "I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about those heartless people. There are still many shameless people in this world, and Miss Zhao is definitely not one of them."

Zhao Shuwan could only nod awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I would never do such a thing."

"Second Brother, let's go back inside." Song Ruozhen helped Song Yi'an and prepared to leave. Seeing Zhao Shuwan still following, she asked in confusion, "Miss Zhao, you've finished crying, is there anything else?"

Zhao Shuwan was annoyed. Everything was different from what she had imagined, but she had come to see Song Yi'an today on important business, and she couldn't leave empty-handed.

"Ruozhen, I have something I want to say to Brother Yi'an. Could you let me speak to him alone for a moment?"

Song Ruozhen turned to look at Song Yi'an, and heard him say, "Fifth sister, let me settle things with her today."

"it is good."

Zhao Shuwan intended to help Song Yi'an back to the courtyard, but Song Zhiyu took her place, preventing her from even touching Song Yi'an.

"Men and women should not touch each other; Miss Zhao should know this."

Hearing these gentle but firm rejections, Zhao Shuwan nearly ground her teeth to powder. She could only force a smile on her face. Once she married Qin Xiangheng, she wouldn't come to this godforsaken place, the Song family, even if they begged her!

A blind man, a good-for-nothing with no future, actually thinks he's someone important?

ridiculous!
