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

Song Ruozhen frowned slightly. This person was so mysterious and extremely cautious in his actions that she could not find anything to determine his identity.

If she waits here in vain, she might not know how long she'll have to wait. If she could find any items left behind by this person, she could use those items to find him.

After all, it's one thing if there's no birth date or time, but they're not family or siblings, and they don't even have basic belongings, so it's difficult to calculate a person out of thin air.

After thinking for a while, the Jiang family head suddenly said, "Last time, he lost a handkerchief stained with blood, and the servants in the manor happened to find it. I didn't lose it!"

He had hoped to find some clues from the handkerchief, but it was just an ordinary handkerchief with nothing special about it. Nevertheless, he kept it.

Song Ruozhen's eyes lit up. "Go and get it quickly."

With the blood-stained handkerchief in hand, Song Ruozhen's eyes brightened with confidence. She exchanged a glance with Chu Junting, who understood. "Let's go back."

Chu Junting left some people to guard the Jiang family head and his companions, instructing them to act as if nothing was wrong and to inform them as soon as possible if anyone arrived.

The three members of the Jiang family were already terrified and dared not have any other thoughts. They nodded repeatedly.

Once she returned to the Zhao family, Song Ruozhen began to calculate the other party's location using a handkerchief.

Because the bloodstains would make it easier to calculate, however, Song Ruozhen's expression became strange after discovering its location.

"What's wrong?" Chu Junting asked.

"This person's location is in the same direction as my father's location, and they are not far apart."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the room changed slightly. Could this be a coincidence?

If it's not a coincidence, then doesn't that mean the dangers Song Lin encountered during this period were very likely related to this person, or that the two even fought each other, which is why this person was also injured?

"Your Highness, Prince Che and Miss Ling have arrived," Yunyang rushed over to announce.

Upon hearing this, Chu Junting's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "This matter must not be told to anyone else, including everything that happened in the Jiang family, lest someone strike first."

"We understand."

Soon, Chu Tianche and Ling Qian'er arrived.

"Jun Ting, His Highness Prince Che and I have found out some clues about my elder brother. His situation seems to be very dangerous, so I would like to ask for your help in finding him."

Ling Qian'er's pretty face was filled with worry, and she reached out to grab Chu Junting's arm.

However, before she could even touch it, Chu Junting stepped back and dodged, saying, "Miss Ling, it's best to be mindful of your boundaries."

Ling Qian'er's expression stiffened slightly, not expecting Chu Junting to be so indifferent. "I was just too anxious for a moment, please don't take offense."

Chu Junting's expression remained unchanged. "I will dispatch some men to accompany you to find your elder brother. With your royal brother by your side, you can rest assured. There are many things to do in Haitian City right now, and I cannot leave."

Ling Qian'er refused, "Jun Ting, my older brother may be injured, and someone is chasing him."

"Your martial arts skills are superb. If you can help, I believe my elder brother will be safe and sound. Please help me, for the sake of our childhood friendship!"

Song Zhiyu couldn't help but say, "Everyone praises Miss Ling for being as capable as any man, and she brought so many experts with her. Shouldn't that be enough?"

“I’ve heard that although His Highness Prince Che has never been on the battlefield, his horsemanship, archery, and martial arts are all first-rate. The Prince of Chu is here to provide disaster relief, so he can’t just abandon his important duties, can he?” Song Jingshen said.

This woman said she wanted to find her older brother, but if she were really worried, she would have gone there directly already. Why would she have the mind to resort to this trick?

Chu Tianche was already dissatisfied with Ling Qian'er's desire to seek Chu Junting's help, as he was capable of handling the situation himself.

Upon hearing the Song brothers' words, he said, "Miss Ling, Jun Ting and Grand Tutor Gu's purpose this time is to deal with the flood and save the people. Your elder brother is in danger. I will take a group of skilled men to accompany you to find him."

"Jun Ting, you..."

Ling Qian'er was still unwilling to give up, but Chu Junting interrupted her, "You should know which is more important, your elder brother's safety or the safety of so many people."

These words completely shut Ling Qian'er down, leaving her with no choice but to agree, no matter how unwilling she was.

"Third brother, how did you handle the situation?" Chu Tianche asked.

Ling Qian'er also said, "I heard that you have already started distributing porridge. What about Pingyang City?"

“Which people aren’t people? Let’s rescue some of the refugees from Haitian City first. We’ll be heading to Pingyang City soon, and then we’ll see,” Chu Junting said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianche felt that Chu Junting was really stupid. He had been asked to find wealthy merchants to open the granaries and distribute grain, but Chu Junting refused. Now, before they had even arrived in Pingyang City, he had already taken out the rice and flour for disaster relief. How would he explain this later?

However, this matter has nothing to do with him anyway.

During this day, he learned about the tragic situation in Haitian City and even Pingyang City, and realized how troublesome the situation was. That's why he simply followed Ling Qian'er to find people, so as not to get involved!

In any case, if Chu Junting fails to handle this matter well, it will not only not harm him, but will actually benefit him.

“Then we’ll rest at the inn tonight and set off to look for them tomorrow. We’ll meet in Pingyang City once we find them,” Chu Tianche said.

"it is good."

Seeing Chu Tianche and his companion leave, Chu Junting ordered someone to secretly follow them and report back as soon as possible.

"They've gone to look for Ling's eldest son, and I'm afraid we can't delay any longer," Song Jingshen said in a deep voice.

Song Ruozhen nodded. Since she thought that Ling Jia Dalang was very likely the person behind the scenes, then Ling Qian'er would definitely help him after she went there. Her father would probably be in great danger.

“Your Highness, I actually have an idea that might solve Pingyang City’s predicament,” Song Ruozhen said.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was startled, their eyes filled with surprise.

The situation in Haitian City was already difficult, and there weren't many solutions we could think of at the moment. Although we hadn't been to Pingyang City yet, we knew from what everyone was saying that the situation there was even more serious.

Unless they force the local wealthy merchants to open their granaries and release grain, but these merchants are all cunning people, and now that news of their presence in Haitian City may have already spread, these people will definitely move away immediately.

"Ruozhen, tell me what happened," said Grand Tutor Gu.

Chu Junting looked at Song Ruozhen encouragingly, "Feel free to speak your mind, and we can discuss it together to see if it's feasible."

"Since wealthy merchants are driving up grain prices and sending grain to the vicinity of Pingyang City, why not take this opportunity to spread the news even further and let more wealthy merchants know that grain prices in Pingyang City are astonishing."

Just one trip can make you a fortune, and I'm sure many people will be tempted.

Although Haitian City transported some grain, the flood occurred suddenly, and they did not have much time to stockpile it. In addition, the local people also bought a lot, and Magistrate Zhao had previously forced them not to raise prices, so they did not have the most grain in their hands.

However, other more distant cities were unaffected and had abundant food reserves.
