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

“Madam Zhao, Young Master Zhao’s condition cannot be delayed any longer. If it is delayed any longer, I fear his life may be in danger.”

Song Ruozhen glanced at Qian Yalin indifferently, "If Young Master Zhao gets into trouble because of your obstruction, can you afford the price?"

Qian Yalin's expression changed slightly. "What nonsense are you talking about? Xu Bai won't be in any trouble!"

Chu Yungui already knew about the conflict between Qian Yalin and Song Ruozhen, and today he finally saw just how crazy this woman really was. Chu Tianche was truly capable to tolerate such a wife for so long!

"Get out!"

Chu Junting gave a wink, signaling Yunyang to kick Qian Yalin out immediately.

"Aunt, look how they've treated me! Don't let Xu Bai get hurt!" Qian Yalin said anxiously.

Zhao's mother looked embarrassed and said, "I'm really sorry, Yalin has been spoiled since she was a child and doesn't know how to speak without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen realized that Zhao Xubai and Qian Yalin were actually cousins. Indeed, the capital city was a circle.

"It seems she hasn't learned her lesson from what happened last time."

Chu Junting spoke casually, but his nonchalant tone sent a chill down everyone's spine, and Zhao's mother had a bad feeling.

To be honest, it's Yalin who's too outspoken. Although Miss Song hasn't married the King of Chu yet, everyone in the capital knows that she's the person the King of Chu cherishes most.

She just had to provoke her and say such nasty things; wasn't she just asking for trouble?

Chu Yungui's expression was also unpleasant. "She's acting crazy, cursing all the time. What kind of refined lady is she? She's utterly vulgar!"

As he spoke, he looked at Song Ruozhen with deep regret, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry that you suffered today. I will definitely make amends!"

If Xu Bai and I hadn't known each other since childhood, I wouldn't care whether he lived or died!

Zhao's mother nodded repeatedly and apologized, "It's all my fault, Miss Song, please don't be angry. I'll send her away and make sure she won't bother you."

She's been in a bad mood lately and had a fight with her parents, which is why she came to see me. If I had known you were coming, I definitely wouldn't have let her.

Song Ruozhen did think Qian Yalin was acting crazy, but she also understood that it wasn't the Zhao family's fault; it was just a coincidence.

"It's alright, this has nothing to do with you."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Xubai and said, "Young Master Zhao, could you please tell me in detail how you met this Miss Miaomiao?"

After being scolded by Chu Yungui, Zhao Xubai regained some of his senses, but when he talked about his Miaomiao girl, he was still full of joy.

"Believe me, Miaomiao and I truly love each other. She's not a ghost, and she would never harm me."

Chu Yungui rolled her eyes. "Look at the state you're in now, you're almost dead, and you still say I didn't harm you?"

"She's a fairy too. It's just that I'm a mortal and not good enough for her. The fact that she took a liking to me and was willing to marry me is the price I have to pay for being with her!"

Chu Junting: "...After his illness is cured, can his brain be cured too?"

Seeing Chu Junting's indescribable expression, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, once he sees the true face of this fairy, he won't be so persistent anymore."

These fairies are all water ghosts.

Its true appearance is incredibly grotesque; it only looks better in dreams. But once you see its true form, you'll be instantly terrified.

As Zhao Xubai recounted his story, everyone couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed a poignant tale of love at first sight.

During a misty, rainy season, Zhao Xubai unexpectedly encountered Miaomiao, a girl who had forgotten her umbrella.

She was fair-skinned and beautiful, like a small white flower blooming by the roadside—pure, kind, and innocent, making people instinctively want to protect her. Her smile was gentle and warm, as if it touched people's hearts.

As Zhao Xubai spoke, he couldn't help but smile, and towards the end, his cheeks turned red.

Song Ruozhen and the others exchanged glances. Even though he didn't say it explicitly, they all understood what kind of contact could make a man's heart flutter and be completely bewitched.

The ecstasy in this dream must be extraordinary.

"Your Highness, what was the name of the childhood sweetheart of Young Master Zhao who tragically drowned years ago?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Chu Yungui frowned. "I wasn't very familiar with that girl, and so many years have passed, so to be honest, I don't remember her."

“It’s Qian Qingmiao!” Zhao’s mother said quickly.

"Qian Qingmiao and Miaomiao, are these two the same person?" King Yun instantly realized.

Zhao's mother's face turned even more ashen. "Could this be a vengeful ghost seeking revenge?"

Qian Qingmiao died in that river back then, and a few days ago when Zhao Xubai also fell into the water in the same place, she felt something was strange.

She hadn't thought much of it until Song Ruozhen explained it to her, and then she realized how bad things were.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "It should be the same person."

“You’re talking nonsense! How could Miaomiao be Qian Qingmiao? They are definitely not the same person!” Zhao Xubai quickly retorted. “Qian Qingmiao was less than ten years old when she died. I still remember what she looked like. She was completely different from Miaomiao.”

As he spoke, Zhao Xubai's expression grew colder and colder. He said, "Yun Gui, I know you consider me a brother, but I really don't need your help."

I appreciate your gesture of visiting me today, but you should still go back. I'm fine, and you don't need to do anything for me!

"Xu Bai, stop fooling around. Do you know who Miss Song is? If it weren't for the sake of Prince Yun, she wouldn't have made this trip at all."

Your body can't hold on any longer; if this continues, you'll really die!

Zhao's mother was extremely anxious. The King of Chu had specially accompanied Song Ruozhen here today. If it weren't for the King of Yun's sake, who could ask Song Ruozhen to help?

If you refuse today, there's really no hope for you in the future!

"I don't need it! I'm perfectly fine, I don't need your help!"

Zhao Xubai shook his head repeatedly, "What you're saying is completely wrong. Miaomiao knows all about these things, and she even comforted me by saying that none of it was my fault!"

"According to you, she came here to harm me, so how could she say such a thing?"

"A liar will tell you she's a liar?" Chu Junting frowned, his voice cold and sharp. "Qian Xubai, have you lost even the most basic ability to think since you were possessed?"

Qian Xubai's expression showed a moment of confusion, but he quickly regained his composure. "No, she wouldn't lie to me. Please, I'm begging you, please leave!"

"You are hopeless!"

Chu Yungui also got angry and, too lazy to pay attention to this fool, turned to Song Ruozhen and asked, "What should we do next? Can't we just knock him out?"

Song Ruozhen looked at Zhao's mother, whose expression had changed, and then glanced at Chu Yungui, "..." You're really something!
