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

Imperial City.

After Chu Tianche and Ling Qian'er returned to the capital, everyone learned of the tragic death of Ling family's eldest son.

Chu Tianche still sent people to deliver messages to each household. The first person he sent was Song Lin, who was also informed that General Song was still alive.

The news surprised everyone in the capital. Many people had felt sorry to hear that General Song had died on the battlefield, but now that they suddenly learned that he was still alive, they were overjoyed.

Some people in the court had already received word of this, and those who were on good terms with the Song family were naturally delighted. However, those who had bullied the Song family recently because of Song's impending death were now feeling extremely uneasy.

Previously, it was thought that the Song family was completely finished. Without Song Lin, they were still so rich, so naturally they were the darlings of everyone's eyes.

The Song family today is completely different. Song Yanzhou and Song Yi'an are a scholar and a warrior, one a General of the Eastern Army and the other a newly appointed top scholar, both extremely capable and highly regarded in the court.

Song Rui, the third son of the Song family, is now a royal bodyguard. He is naturally strong and skilled in martial arts, so he will definitely have the opportunity to be promoted in the future. Not to mention that Song Ruozhen might even become the Princess Consort of Chu.

Once Song Lin returns, the Song family will undoubtedly become one of the top families in the capital, enjoying unparalleled prestige!

After learning that Song Linping was alive and well and was now with Zhen'er and Zhiyu, Gu Ruyan was completely relieved.

"Ruyan, you can rest assured now. They will be back in a while."

Madam Gu smiled broadly. Ever since her three children left, she had been restless, worried that something might happen. She couldn't eat or drink, and she had visibly lost weight.

Finally, some good news has arrived, so I can finally relax completely.

Gu Ruyan nodded repeatedly, "They're all safe and sound, that's wonderful!"

“I told you before that there’s no need to worry. Zhen’er is traveling with her maternal grandfather and the King of Chu. The people around the King of Chu are all highly skilled in martial arts. Who would dare to lay a hand on her?”

Now that we've met the son-in-law, there's even less to worry about.

Madam Gu was actually relieved. After all, who wouldn't worry when they were traveling?

"Zhen'er is our family's lucky star!" Gu Ruyan said with a face full of joy. "If it weren't for Zhen'er, I really don't know what our family would be like now."

Ever since that dream, and looking at everything that has happened now, the reason why the Song family has been able to change like this is entirely because of Zhen'er!

Although Madam Gu didn't understand why Gu Ruyan would suddenly say such a thing, upon careful consideration, she realized that if it weren't for Zhen'er, they wouldn't have been able to recognize each other.

Moreover, her health had always been poor, and she was almost at her breaking point. Now, thanks to Zhen'er's care, her health is getting better and better, all thanks to her.

Just then, Yan Qingyu arrived.

"Qingyu, did you come to see Qingyin today?"

Gu Ruyan greeted them with a smile. Ever since Qingyin married Yanzhou, the two children had a very good relationship.

Whenever Yan Zhou returned, the two were inseparable. Qing Yin cared deeply for Yan Zhou and tried every day to take care of his health. Her unconscious concern was noticed by her as his mother-in-law.

Yan Zhou also took great care of Qing Yin. Knowing that she was weak, he always prepared a cloak for her when she went out, for fear that she would catch a cold.

Since the Fan family entered the family, Gu Ruyan had never seen Yan Zhou so happy. Now, seeing him, she felt that things had finally turned out well.

Yan Qingyu smiled as she mentioned Qingyin. She recalled how the two families had fallen out over the failed marriage of their children, and how she had been worried when the marriage was re-arranged.

Fortunately, everything has turned out for the best.

“I know you treat Qingyin well, and Yanzhou treats Qingyin well too. But now when this girl sees me, all she talks about is her in-laws. She doesn’t think about me, her mother, at all.”

Yan Qingyu shook her head. "Just let her stay here with you. I can't be bothered to look at her."

When Madam Gu heard this, she couldn't help but smile. She knew that Gu Ruyan and Yan Qingyu had a good relationship and had now become a real family.

"I've actually come here today to tell you something interesting," Yan Qingyu said mysteriously.

"What's the excitement?"

"Not the Yun family yet?" A playful glint flashed in Yan Qingyu's eyes. "That Miss Yun thinks she can become Mrs. Yun after Zhang Wen and Yun Honglang divorce? She's dreaming!"

Gu Ruyan immediately became interested, "Tell me in detail, what happened?"

"I heard that Lord Yun felt he lost face after the divorce, and on top of that, Lady Yun kept making a fuss, saying that Zhang Wen had taken all the money and that she was extremely dissatisfied with the situation in the mansion."

Lord Yun initially tolerated it, but eventually couldn't hold back and argued with her, after which she went to cause trouble for Zhang Wen.

"Ever since the divorce, Zhang Wen's temper has reverted to what it was before. There's no way we'll tolerate her. So... we've sent her straight to the authorities."

Yan Qingyu found it amusing to talk about it. A few days ago, she and Zhang Wen bumped into Yun Xiaoniang while shopping. She still remembered Yun Xiaoniang's arrogant attitude, as if she were the victor.

Unfortunately, when it came time to buy things, she was short of money and couldn't come up with that much silver. Zhang Wen bought it on the spot, which infuriated Yun Xiaoniang. She kept saying that Zhang Wen spent silver that she had stolen from the Yun family.

"Miss Yun is really clueless. With Master Yun's meager salary and family fortune, how could he have lived such a good life all these years?"

If it weren't for Zhang Wen's business acumen and her efforts to maintain the Yun family's reputation by spending a considerable amount of money, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Does she really think all of this is Yun Honglang's doing?

Gu Ruyan's eyes were full of mockery. She had long disliked Yun Xiaoniang's smug face, and she was amazed that Zhang Wen could tolerate it.

"That's right. I wanted to talk to you about it a few days ago, but I didn't because you seemed so restless."

Yan Qingyu clearly noticed that Gu Ruyan was in a much better mood than usual today, and smiled, "I heard from the master that General Song will be back soon, so you can finally rest easy!"

Gu Ruyan smiled and nodded, feeling a little embarrassed at her age, so she changed the subject:

"Go on, what's wrong with Yun Xiaoniang now?"

Yan Qingyu snapped out of her daze and happily began to recount the day's excitement:

"It's strange, but when Zhang Wen was around, they had a very good relationship. It's as if Zhang Wen was the stumbling block that affected their relationship."

Now that Zhang Wen is gone, their relationship has actually worsened. Coincidentally, someone recently introduced a marriage proposal to Lord Yun, thinking that since he is of noble birth, his household can't be without a mistress.

Gu Ruyan was surprised, "Yun Honglang really agreed?"

"He agreed to the matchmaking. Actually, the family he was introduced to wasn't bad either. Besides, Yun Honglang is a hypocrite and cares a lot about his image."

After the divorce, he felt he had lost face, and probably hoped to regain it through marriage. Zhang Wen, however, wouldn't care about that at all.

Yan Qingyu looked at him with a mocking expression. Zhang Wen had already done more than enough by tolerating him for so many years, and she had no intention of turning back, so naturally she wouldn't care.
