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

A smile flashed in Lu Minhui's eyes as she listened to the Empress's praise.

"This is the Song family's newly opened barbecue stall, which is now all the rage in the entire capital. The business is booming. It is said that it was also Miss Song's idea."

I had no idea Miss Song had such skills. I heard she was an excellent cook, and all these delicious dishes are her creations.

"Her metaphysical skills are so amazing, she's also good at medicine, and she's such a great cook. I'm telling you, there's really no girl in the capital who can compare to her."

Now that General Song has returned, everyone is praising the Song family as remarkable, and predicting they will rise even higher in the future.

Since becoming pregnant, Lu Minhui has only felt gratitude towards Song Ruozhen, not to mention the time when the ancestor appeared in her dream, which frightened her so much that she couldn't sleep well.

Fortunately, Song Ruozhen gave her some pointers, and she even dreamed that her ancestors praised her. If it weren't for Song Ruozhen, she probably wouldn't be pregnant by now, and countless people would be secretly laughing at her, just waiting for the day she would be divorced.

Since she became pregnant, she could clearly feel the change in those gossipy women. They couldn't see any good things about her anymore, and they were so disappointed.

Upon hearing that this was also something Song Ruozhen had researched, the Empress frowned slightly. "Did you come here specifically to tell me this?"

“That’s right!” Lu Minhui made no attempt to hide anything. “Isn’t the Prince of Chu back now? He’s not young anymore, and he’s reached the age where he should get married. Now that he’s finally found someone he loves, sister, please don’t delay him any longer.”

"Am I delaying him?"

The Empress put the skewers back down, her face quite grim.

"Because of this incident, the distance between Jun Ting and me has grown. Wasn't the reason for doing all this for his future?"

Looking at the Empress's earnest and heartfelt words, Lu Minhui couldn't help but sigh, "Sister, I know you are thinking about the future of the Prince of Chu, but the feelings between men and women cannot be measured by background."

"You introduced Junting to so many noble ladies before, but he didn't take a liking to a single one. If he truly shared your views, why hasn't he married yet, even though you already have a child?"

"When children grow up, they have their own ideas. Parents can only offer suggestions at most, but the real decision is up to them."

Now the entire capital knows that Jun Ting only has eyes for Miss Song, and everyone knows that you don't like Miss Song. You also know Jun Ting's personality; once he's made up his mind, he can't change it.

"If you marry her and there's a conflict between you and your mother-in-law, and even your son doesn't like you, what good will that do?"

Lu Minhui was much younger than the Empress, and she understood Chu Junting's thoughts very well. She even wanted to persuade her older sister not to do such a thing.

If the outcome doesn't change, you'll only attract complaints, and it won't do you any good if word gets out.

"It's all over the place? Who said it?" The Empress's expression changed slightly.

Lu Minhui said helplessly, "Does anyone need to tell others about this? There are already quite a few spies in the palace. As soon as something happens, everyone knows about it."

Look at the people in each palace, not one of them is easy to deal with!

The Empress lowered her eyes, her expression revealing a complex emotion. In fact, her thoughts had changed after she realized Jun Ting's attitude.

Now that General Song has returned, the Emperor is very pleased. In addition, two of Song's sons are officials in the court, and he also has an imperial bodyguard. This family is already quite well-off.

Moreover, although the fourth son of the Song family never entered the imperial court, he was an exceptional businessman. As for Song Ruozhen herself, apart from having broken off her engagement and being a little older, there was nothing wrong with her.

However, the thought that her son had distanced himself from her because of another girl made her feel heartbroken.

“I heard from my master that after General Song returned, the events in Pingyang City could no longer be kept secret.”

There were many things going on over there, and the reason General Song was seriously injured was because someone tipped him off and deliberately framed him. It just so happened that the Ling family arrived in time and made a contribution.

"Sister, you've always been intelligent, and you know more about court affairs than I do. Don't you see the problem here?"

Lu Minhui's eyes were solemn. In fact, the most important thing for her to do today was this matter.

The prince usually wouldn't mention this to her, but he happened to bring it up yesterday. She didn't know if it was because the prince was drunk and in a good mood, or if he was deliberately reminding her.

Regardless, my sister should know about this matter and should avoid getting too close to the Ling family.

Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression changed slightly. In fact, she had been pondering this matter ever since Song Lin returned; there was clearly something wrong.

She believed that one of the Song or Ling families was lying, and Song Lin almost lost his life because of it. Many of his soldiers also lost their lives after this frame-up.

Those who returned all gave the same story, suggesting they were determined to find the person behind it all.

If the Ling family really was involved in this conspiracy, then that would be a very serious matter.

"I know, don't worry."

The Empress reassured Lu Minhui that there was no need to worry. At first, she thought that the Ling family's return and military achievements were the best possible choice, but after being reprimanded by the Emperor last time, she sensed that something was wrong.

After investigating further, she discovered something amiss, and from then on, she distanced herself from the Ling family.

Lu Minhui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Have you heard about the excitement at Prince Che's mansion, sister?"

I think Miss Song is truly a treasure. If Junting can really marry her, it will be Junting's good fortune!

"What happened at Prince Che's residence? This news only just reached the palace today, but the specifics are still unclear," the Empress said.

Lu Minhui couldn't help but laugh, "That concubine of Prince Che is really something else. I bet Consort Zhong is furious right now."

"Didn't Qian Yalin have a younger sister? She drowned when she was little. Everyone thought it was Zhao's son's carelessness that caused her to fall into the water. Wasn't Yun Gui also involved? I remember he was seriously ill at the time."

The Empress nodded. "I understand."

Yun Gui was greatly traumatized at the time. She not only fell ill but also refused to go out for a long time. It was heartbreaking to see her like that.

"Who would have thought that the mastermind behind this was Qian Yalin! She felt that her younger sister had stolen their parents' affection, so she deliberately killed her!"

I was stunned when I heard the news. How could someone so young be so vicious!

Because it was she who committed the cruel act, she kept dreaming about her sister. So she thought of making Young Master Zhao pay with his life and arranged a ghost marriage for him and Qian Qingmiao. Fortunately, Miss Song intervened, otherwise Young Master Zhao would have lost his life.

The Zhao family now regards Miss Song as a great benefactor, and it's said they went to express their gratitude first thing this morning.

Lu Minhui clicked her tongue in admiration, "Thinking about it carefully, from the Xu family and the Dong family back then to the Zhao family now, Miss Song's popularity is truly remarkable. She's received kindness from everyone around her!"
