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

Yan Qingyu and Duke Luo exchanged a glance, and the latter naturally realized the problem as well.

"So, after all this commotion, this brat already has a girl he likes?" Duke Luo lowered his voice. "I thought you were just playing matchmaker."

Yan Qingyu gave Duke Luo a disapproving look. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm such a clueless person?"

Normally, she wouldn't have brought this up so easily. She noticed that Huai Li had been secretly looking at her more than once since Nian Chu arrived, which is why she asked about it.

No one knows a child better than their mother; she understood him perfectly!

After a family dinner, the elders were all smiles, while the younger generation had their own thoughts.

Luo Qingyin looked at her younger brother and said, "Your mother has done so much for you, so you'll have to work hard on your own from now on."

"Second sister, I don't know what nonsense you're talking about," Luo Huaili said awkwardly.

"Don't think I can't tell. You've always liked playing with your little sister Nianchu since you were little, but ever since her cousin came, you've always followed behind him."

You were so upset about this back then, sulking and saying you'd never hang out with her again. After that, Nianchu ignored you too. You must be kicking yourself now, right?

Luo Qingyin saw through Luo Huaili at a glance. The siblings had a very good relationship. In fact, she had noticed something amiss before, but the boy was stubborn and refused to admit it.

When his mother brought it up today, Nianchu didn't refuse. Although the boy still looked a little unhappy, he was probably secretly overjoyed.

"Second Sister!" Luo Huaili couldn't help but call out to her, then subconsciously glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention before saying, "Don't talk nonsense, or you'll scare the girl."

Luo Qingyin's smile grew even brighter; her younger brother's little scheme had indeed been completely seen through.

"I know, you really need to change your stubborn habit. Nianchu is a good girl. If you like her, you should say it. Don't keep it to yourself all the time."

But you can't always say the worst things like you do on a normal day. When you're talking to a girl you like, you have to choose the nicest things to say, you understand?

Luo Qingyin said earnestly, "No girl dislikes being praised. Nianchu is beautiful and well-behaved. Be sweet-talking and praise her more."

Luo Huaili listened to his older sister and thought it made sense. "Anything else? Is there anything else I should be careful about?"

"I'll go talk to Ruozhen later and find out Nianchu's preferences. I need to make sure the gift I give is something that will truly touch the girl's heart."

Luo Huaili nodded. "I understand."

As the meal ended and everyone took their leave, Yun Nianchu said, "Mother, Ruozhen has finally returned. I'd like to stay with her tonight."

Zhang Wen hesitated for a moment: "Ruozhen has finally come back, she should be resting properly, you..."

"Aunt Zhang, I miss Chu too. Let her stay tonight."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. Nianchu had just told her about this, saying that she was worried that she would feel uncomfortable being alone after returning home.

After all, staying in a familiar environment would inevitably lead to running into Yun Chengze, making it harder for her to let go. Out of sight, out of mind, it would be better to wait until she has calmed down before going back.

"Alright then, thank you for your help," Zhang Wen said.

Seeing that Yun Nianchu did not intend to leave, Yun Chengze hesitated, wanting to say something but then Zhang Wen urged him to get into the carriage, so he could only respond.

"I'll come right away."

Yun Chengze looked at Yun Nianchu in front of him, his handsome face covered with a layer of frost, and his voice was cold and hard: "Take care of yourself and don't keep bothering others."

“Cousin, you don’t need to bother. Ruozhen won’t find me annoying,” Yun Nianchu said.

Yun Chengze's Adam's apple bobbed as he slowly asked, "You're going out tomorrow?"

"Didn't you hear everything just now? The appointment for tomorrow has been set, so of course I'm going," Yun Nianchu replied.

A thick fog swirled in Yun Chengze's dark eyes, but his voice remained calm and undisturbed: "Alright, I'm leaving."

Seeing the man turn and leave without looking back, Yun Nianchu also turned and went back to the Song family.

Meanwhile, Song Ruozhen had already been called aside by Luo Qingyin to inquire about the situation.

"Sister-in-law, you inquired about Nianchu's preferences, could it be that..."

A hint of surprise flashed across Song Ruozhen's face, and she began to wonder if the original book had written about the relationship between Luo Huaili and Nianchu.

Unfortunately, this book was originally written around Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue, and everyone else was just a supporting character. Nianchu, as her good friend, died because of her in the end.

Even Yun Chengze's situation wasn't mentioned much, let alone Luo Huaili's; it was as if a hidden plot had been triggered!

Luo Qingyin smiled gently, "Actually, Huaili and Qingyin always played together very well when they were little. He would always call her Nianchu sister, Nianchu sister."

They had some conflicts later on, which led to less contact over the years. Now, neither of them is married, so if they could really be together, they would be a good match.

As the older sister, I also wanted to help.

Song Ruozhen understood. She didn't know what choice Nianchu would make, but she would support her no matter what choice she made.

She told Luo Qingyin about Nianchu's preferences, including what she liked to eat and what she enjoyed, and Luo Qingyin wrote them all down.

"Ruozhen, thank you so much. But I'll have to trouble you to keep this a secret for now, otherwise there won't be any surprise," Luo Qingyin said with a smile.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "I understand, sister-in-law, don't worry."

After Song Ruozhen returned to her room, Yun Nianchu asked in confusion, "Where did you go just now?"

"It's nothing. I was away for a while, so I went to check on my sister-in-law to see how she's recovering."

Yun Nianchu understood. "Your medical skills are truly superb. Ever since everyone learned about your medical skills, many people in the capital have wanted to come to you for treatment. I've heard of several such cases myself."

"You happened to leave the capital a while ago, and no one could find you. Now that you're back, you might be coming soon."

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback, but not surprised. She hadn't told anyone about this beforehand because she had anticipated this situation and wanted to avoid trouble.

Now that the news has spread, it's inevitable that some people will come knocking on her door. However, after the incident involving the concubine of Prince Che, those who come looking for her will probably not be so unreasonable.

After all, there are precedents to learn from.

"Are you planning to stay here for the next while?" Song Ruozhen asked.

I don't want to go back right now.

Yun Nianchu lowered her head, a hint of loneliness creeping into her eyes. She could put on a brave face in front of everyone before, but there was no need to keep up the act now.

"I'll definitely see my cousin when I get back. Besides, I heard that my mother really likes Miss Huang. Today, Miss Huang even made some snacks and sent them over."

It's better that I'm not there; my cousin can be more at ease without any worries.

As she spoke, Yun Nianchu said, "Ruozhen, I am actually feeling very complicated right now. I know that I am not in a good position to get married, but I can't help but think that it would be better to get married sooner rather than later."

If I get married, I won't have to think about anything anymore.
