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

Chapter 4: Where in the world are there no fragrant grasses?

"This is no fault of Mother. It can only be said that Lin Zhiyue is a good actor and a despicable scoundrel!"

Song Ruozhen became more and more disgusted as she spoke. Fortunately, she hadn't entered the Lin family mansion yet when she transmigrated into the book. If she had already married, that would have been a real disaster!

When Liu Ruyan heard her well-educated daughter say such things, she was even more convinced that her daughter was heartbroken, and tears welled up in her eyes. "My poor daughter..."

However, before the tears could fall from the corners of her eyes, she heard a great commotion outside, with all sorts of things being carried in, and her tears stopped abruptly.

"Zhen'er, what... what is this?"

"Since the marriage is off, the things should naturally be brought back. Qin Shuangshuang keeps saying she's in love with Marquis Lin, I want to see if she's willing to spend money to fill the empty Marquis's mansion!"

Having read the original book, Song Ruozhen naturally knew that Qin Shuangshuang was someone who only liked to enjoy wealth and luxury; otherwise, if she had just asked, Lin Zhiyue would have definitely broken off the engagement with her!

But she didn't, because she wanted the Song family's money.

Now that the money is in her hands, Qin Shuangshuang's dream of sleeping with the original owner's man while spending the original owner's money is just that—a dream!

Love is stronger than gold?

She granted their wish!

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but be surprised. Zhen'er had always been gentle and mild-mannered, yet today she had done something so unconventional.

"Fifth Sister is right! There are plenty of fish in the sea, why hang yourself on this crooked tree? I don't think Lin Zhiyue is any good!"

Song Yi'an admired Song Ruozhen's decisive nature. Crying and wailing at this time was useless. Since Lin Zhiyue was unmarriageable, it was better to find a good husband than to fall into a fire pit and ruin one's life.

Looking at the blind man with a refined and gentle appearance, Song Ruozhen immediately recognized him as the original owner's second brother.

He was originally a man of exceptional talent, proficient in poetry, lyrics, and prose. He was famous throughout the capital from a young age, and all his teachers praised him highly, even claiming that he was destined to be the top scholar in the imperial examinations.

Unfortunately... his fiancée was harassed recently, and he fought back to protect her. However, the other party outnumbered him and took the opportunity to smash his head.

Although he managed to preserve his fiancée Zhao Shuwan's reputation, he lost his sight as a result...

Seeing that Song Yi'an reached out to comfort her but only patted empty air, Song Ruozhen stepped forward helplessly, "I'm here."

Song Yi'an looked slightly embarrassed. "Fifth Sister, it's just annulment of the engagement. It's no big deal."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Song Ruozhen grabbed Song Yi'an's hand, took his pulse to check his condition, and learned that he had suffered a severe head injury that caused blood clots to accumulate in his brain, resulting in blindness. She was relieved that he would recover once the blood clots were removed.

There is still a cure!

"Second Young Master, a messenger from the Zhao family has arrived."

"Is this Wan'er's letter?" Song Yi'an asked happily. "Fifth Sister, can you help me see what she wrote? Is it because she's been busy with family matters lately that she hasn't been able to come to see me?"

Song Ruozhen opened the letter in her hand and was not surprised to see that Zhao Shuwan wanted to break off the engagement. This woman was always opportunistic. She had previously believed that Song Yi'an was a top scholar, and in order to become the wife of the top scholar, she kept pestering the original owner to come to the Song mansion, just to get Song Yi'an's favor.

Now that she sees the Song family in decline, she wants to break off the engagement. The so-called harassment was clearly something she did willingly. She only pretended to be innocent because Song Yi'an saw it, which caused her second brother to end up like this!

However, in the original book, Zhao Shuwan did not break off the engagement today, but a month later. Could it be that because of her affair with the Marquis's mansion, Zhao Shuwan broke off the engagement ahead of schedule?

"Zhao Shuwan wants to break off the engagement."

There was a moment of silence after these words were spoken.

Song Ruozhen read the contents of the letter aloud. Zhao Shuwan kept saying that the Zhao family forced her to break off the engagement, which made her seem affectionate and innocent.

"Yi'an went blind because of her, and the Zhao family actually broke off the engagement at this time. They are simply ungrateful!"

Liu Ruyan was already heartbroken because of Song Ruozhen's matter, and now she suddenly heard the bad news. She couldn't bear the blow and fainted.

"mother!"

"lady!"

Song Ruozhen sighed. The Song family was a complete mess, but now that she was here, she couldn't let these people ruin the Song family!

After all, the Song family is large and wealthy, the eldest brother is highly skilled in martial arts, the second brother is a top scholar, and the third brother, although not very bright, treats the original owner as his most precious possession. Now that she has arrived, if she wants to live a carefree life, she has to rescue the Song family from the quagmire!

What do you mean by male and female protagonists in books? Now that Song Ruozhen is here, she won't allow them to be mere supporting characters!

Even after sending Liu Ruyan back to her room, Song Yi'an remained sitting there, pale-faced, lost in thought.

"Second brother, there are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?" Song Ruozhen patted Song Yi'an's shoulder. "If this one doesn't work out, we can always find another good wife. There's no shortage of good women in the world."

Song Yi'an: "..." There's no need to return all the words to him.

"No, I can't swallow this! I'm going to the Zhao family to get to the bottom of this! Since Zhao Shuwan is willing, why are they stopping her from marrying him? They weren't like this before!"

Song Zhiyu was furious and stormed out.

"Third Brother, don't go," Song Ruozhen said.

Song Zhiyu disagreed, "But..."

"Third brother, don't be silly. Do you think the Zhao family would send this letter if Wan'er were really willing to marry me? Aren't they afraid of ruining their reputation?"

Song Yi'an gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Since I was injured, Wan'er has only come to see me once. After learning that my blindness was incurable, she never came again. I knew what was going on, but I still held onto a sliver of hope."

Now that we've received this letter, what is there left to understand? Since she's made up her mind, why should we rush to follow suit?

"Second brother, but you became like this because of her. She is so ungrateful and doesn't deserve to be a human being!"

Song Zhiyu slammed his fist on the table, shattering it into pieces, but it couldn't vent his anger. "They're all bastards! I wish I could tear them to pieces!"

Seeing that Song Yi'an was calm and composed, and that although he was filled with hatred and anger, he had not lost his rationality, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but think highly of him. He truly deserved to be praised as a top scholar.

"Second brother, Zhao Shuwan broke off the engagement because she was blind. Her status was never good enough for you. Now that the engagement is broken off, it's just as well. Once your eyes are healed, she'll end up with nothing!"

This kind of woman doesn't deserve to marry you, doesn't deserve to enter the Song family!

"Good sister." Song Yi'an felt a warmth in her heart, but her brows were furrowed with worry. "All the doctors in the city have come to see me, but I'm afraid there's no hope for my eyes..."

He had always been full of ambition, waiting to excel in the imperial examinations, but now that he had gone blind, all hope was lost. He could no longer serve as an official in the court, and he could not even take care of himself, becoming a burden to his entire family...

"Second brother, I can cure your eyes!" Song Ruozhen said.

Song Yi'an was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "Fifth sister, your second brother knows your good intentions, but you've never studied medicine since you were little, how can you cure my illness?"

"If I say I can cure it, then I can. Trust me."
