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

"So what if we've offended them? Are we going to be afraid of them?" Song Lin said nonchalantly. "These brainless idiots raised such a menace, how many people have they killed?"

Just as Song Lin said these words with a look of disgust, Gu Ruyan noticed the people coming from behind him and quickly signaled Song Lin to shut up.

Song Lin didn't understand what was wrong with his wife, but the unspoken understanding between husband and wife made him subconsciously shut his mouth.

However, when he turned around and saw the Qian couple, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

You really shouldn't talk about people behind their backs; speak of the devil and he appears!

Lord Zhao naturally knew that Song Lin was referring to him, but he was not angry about it.

"General Song is right. I am indeed a fool. If I weren't so foolish, my daughter wouldn't have died tragically, and I wouldn't have allowed Yalin to do such a despicable thing."

Song Lin's expression stiffened slightly as he looked at Lord Zhao with his head down and a look of utter dejection between his brows. He couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

"Lord Zhao, don't be too upset. Although you reap what you sow, whether the melons are good or bad is not something you can choose!"

Song Ruozhen: "..."

Song Jingshen: "..."

Gu Ruyan: "..." Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?

Lord Zhao agreed that this was indeed the case. He and his wife didn't consider themselves to be particularly wicked, but they never expected things to turn out this way.

Since Song Ruozhen introduced them to Miao Miao, their obsession seems to have been put aside.

What's done is done, and since it can't be changed, there's no need to dwell on it. As for Qian Yalin, she should pay the price for everything she did.

If they continue to help her, it will only make her more and more vicious.

"We came here today specifically to express our gratitude. Thank you for your help, Miss Song."

Mr. Qian looked at Song Ruozhen with gratitude. Ever since his daughter passed away, he felt extremely sad every time he thought about it. But thanks to Song Ruozhen, he had the opportunity to see Miaomiao again.

Miaomiao, whom he loved so much, died so tragically.

As a father, he owed his daughter far too much, but now Miao Miao can finally rest in peace.

When Song Lin and his wife heard that Mr. Qian had come to express their gratitude, they exchanged a glance, a look of astonishment flashing in their eyes.

What kind of joke is this guy making?

The Qian family is in such a mess now, they're practically beset by trouble, and they're actually thanking us? Are they here to rob and kill us?!

"Zhen'er, go in first and tell the people to make preparations."

Song Lin pushed Song Ruozhen inside, his eyes full of vigilance, determined not to let anyone have the chance to harm his daughter!

Song Ruozhen took in Song Lin's reaction and couldn't help but find it amusing. She said, "Father, don't worry. The reason Lord Qian came is because I performed a ritual to help Qian Qingmiao pass on to the afterlife."

Upon hearing this, Song Lin was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Lord Qian. Seeing the latter nod in agreement, he finally understood.

It turned out to be such a thing!

"Daughter, you're so amazing, you can even help people pass on to the afterlife?"

Song Lin couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't been back for a while, and his daughter's abilities had truly surprised him.

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "The ritual and the deliverance are inherently one. You can't just catch ghosts and not even know how to deliver them, can you?"

After learning that their daughter had helped the Qian family, Song Lin and Gu Ruyan were completely relieved. Listening to the Qian couple's tearful account, they realized that the Qian family had truly had a difficult time.

After all, he had harbored resentment for so many years over the fact that his daughters had killed each other, and when he discovered that it was his eldest daughter who had done it, he couldn't have been more heartbroken.

Seeing the elders start chatting, Song Jingshen pulled Song Ruozhen away, saying, "Instead of staying here and watching the elders chat, we should go check on the shops. The barbecue stalls are doing so well that they can't keep up with demand."

You were right to choose two floors earlier. If it were as small as a fried chicken shop, it would be a disaster.

Because fried chicken stalls don't have a wide variety of options, people usually just buy and take it away, and it doesn't matter if they have to queue on the street. But barbecue stalls have so many options, making them perfect for friends to get together, drink, and eat barbecue.

Therefore, this shop must be large.

Even so, demand still exceeds supply, and some conflicts have even broken out in the struggle for a spot.

"You want to open a branch?" Song Ruozhen guessed what he was thinking as soon as she saw her fourth brother's expression.

"Fifth sister, you are so clever!" Song Jingshen clapped his hands. "I didn't say anything, and you were able to guess. Indeed, siblings working together are a powerful force!"

Song Ruozhen chuckled softly, "Let's go."

Because they were opening a branch, the two chose a location in a different direction from their previous barbecue shop. This would make it more convenient for customers who lived further away, while also ensuring business for the original shop.

There were quite a few suitable shops, and in the end, they directly chose a three-story restaurant.

"The location here is excellent, with plenty of open space around it, making it easy to park a carriage. The lake is also nearby, and the night view is beautiful."

When it's hot, you can set up a few tables outside, enjoy the breeze and the view, and have a nice time drinking and chatting.

Song Ruozhen's eyes lit up; nothing beats summer for barbecue.

Song Jingshen originally thought this place was spacious and quite nice. After listening to Song Ruozhen's words, he looked at the open space by the river, which was in front of this restaurant.

"Fifth Sister, you're right! Enjoying the cool air outdoors in summer, along with drinks and barbecue, is simply wonderful!"

"Alright, alright, let's do it this way. I'll have someone buy this restaurant right now."

Song Jingshen made the final decision. The restaurant's business was already so-so, so as long as they offered a generous price, they could buy it smoothly.

However, a problem did arise when buying the restaurant.

"Our Shen family has our eye on this restaurant. Please come earlier next time," Shen Huai'an said.

The Gu family steward frowned, looked at the restaurant owner, and said, "Owner, when we inquired just now, didn't they say that the restaurant hadn't been transferred yet? Could it be that the deal was just finalized at this moment?"

The shop owner looked complicated, as if he had no choice but to wave his hand helplessly, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't sell this shop to you. You'll have to look elsewhere."

The Gu family steward's face was also unpleasant. "This is how you do business unfairly. When our young master came earlier, he inquired and found out that we were the ones who had our eye on this shop first."

You were just going out to take a look and would come back to make a decision later, but in such a short time, you sold it to someone else?

Even if someone is trying to raise the price arbitrarily, there should at least be an opportunity to negotiate.

The Fourth Young Master and the Fifth Young Lady just declared that they wanted to buy this restaurant. They've seen this kind of price gouging before, but the Song family has been in business for so many years, what haven't they seen?

Now that this guy has suddenly appeared, things have become complicated.
