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

Hearing the steward's words, Shen Huai'an subconsciously looked at Song Biyun beside him and asked, "The Song family? Which Song family?"

"Naturally, it's General Song's residence," the steward said frankly.

When Song Biyun heard that the Song family had also taken a liking to the shop, a flash of annoyance crossed her eyes.

The Song family's business is booming, and they are extremely envious. They used to be one family, but since they separated, the gap between them has widened.

They thought that with Song Lin's death in battle, they finally had a chance to surpass the Song family. After all, a widow with several children, two of whom were just paying for food, couldn't possibly support such a large family as the Song family.

Before they could even make a move, Song Ruozhen found the King of Chu as her backer, forcing them to remain inactive.

Now that Song Lin is back, the Song family is at its zenith, practically a hot commodity!

Seeing the Song family's business booming recently, she couldn't resist any longer. She made some inquiries and found out just how successful the newly opened barbecue stall was.

They're making a fortune every day!

She felt that barbecuing was not difficult at all; it was simply a matter of preparing some ingredients and grilling them. So she also planned to buy a restaurant to open a barbecue stall.

Not only should we open one, but we should open one even bigger than the Song family's shop!

She deliberately chose a place that was far away, so that even if the taste couldn't compare to Song's, the customers here would find it convenient, and the business would probably not be too bad.

Who would have thought that they would run into the Song family? The Song family already has so many shops, isn't that enough? They're coming here to buy a restaurant. Could it be that they have the same idea as her?

"In short, you're too late. We had our eye on this shop a couple of days ago. You'd better look elsewhere," Song Biyun said coldly.

If she hadn't run out of money a couple of days ago, and Shen Huai'an hadn't helped her raise the money today, she wouldn't have had to wait until today.

When Song Ruozhen and Song Jingshen noticed that the steward hadn't returned for a while, they realized something was wrong and came over.

Unexpectedly, upon arrival, they encountered the familiar Song Biyun.

"Cousin? What a coincidence!" Song Ruozhen said with a faint smile.

The last time she saw Song Biyun was when she was with Ke Yuanzhi. She made a fool of herself at the time and hadn't seen her since. She never expected to run into her again!

"Song Ruozhen?"

Song Biyun was surprised to see Song Ruozhen, and her expression paused slightly, but her attitude remained calm.

"Cousin, we were the ones who set our sights on this shop first. Your Song family is so big and powerful, you wouldn't be trying to take it from us, would you?"

"We clearly saw this shop first. We told the owner when we came that we just wanted to check out the interior and the surrounding environment before making a decision. I wonder when you saw it first?"

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow slightly. She had asked the master about it when she and her fourth brother came in.

The owner nodded repeatedly, clearly pleased that they wanted to buy the shop; if it had already been reserved, they wouldn't have wasted their time.

It's a joke that Song Biyun is now claiming that they were the ones who had their eye on her first!

“I had my eye on it a couple of days ago, but I was short a little money. I’ve raised enough today, so I’m planning to take it over!” Song Biyun said confidently.

"Take it over?" Song Jingshen looked at Song Biyun and Shen Huai'an beside her, then at the restaurant owner. "Did they pay a deposit beforehand?"

"No, no," the restaurant owner said.

“Since there isn’t one, then what’s the point of talking about taking a look first?” Song Jingshen looked at Song Biyun. “If we’re really going to count, we were the ones who said we wanted to buy it first.”

“Song Jingshen, I know that your Song family is powerful and influential, but that doesn’t mean the entire capital belongs to you. This restaurant is mine, Shen Huai’an’s, choice today!”

Shen Huai'an had a cold face and an extremely assertive attitude, as if he was determined to get Song Biyun's support today.

Song Ruozhen sized up Shen Huai'an in front of her, wondering what his identity was and why he was so arrogant.

"Could you two speak in private?" the restaurant owner couldn't help but ask Song Ruozhen and her companion.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance and agreed.

“Miss Song, actually I also wanted to sell the restaurant to you, but I really had no choice. It is said that Young Master Shen will soon become a prince consort.”

If I don't sell to them, it would be tantamount to offending the princess. I'm just an ordinary commoner; how could I possibly afford to offend her?

The restaurant owner couldn't help but look at Song Ruozhen; he couldn't afford to offend either side.

Offending Shen Huai'an is like offending the princess, but offending Song Ruozhen is like offending the King of Chu. As an ordinary citizen caught in the middle, he felt it was a matter of life and death.

He was actually hoping the Song family would buy it, since the Song family offered a fair price. On the other hand, the Shen family, relying on the fact that he was about to become the prince consort, offered him a price that was so low that he was losing a lot of money, but he didn't dare to say a word against it.

"The prince consort? I wonder which princess he is?"

Song Ruozhen was surprised. Shen Huai'an did look respectable, but his character was obviously not good. She wondered which princess was so blind.

"It is Princess Mu Yao."

Song Ruozhen stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "Chu Muyao?"

"Yes, it is her!" the restaurant owner nodded.

"How is this possible? Mu Yao couldn't possibly be so blind!"

Song Ruozhen subconsciously retorted, "What a joke! She's quite familiar with Mu Yao and knows her personality. Her taste can't possibly be that bad."

However, just as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from outside.

"Young Master Shen, is this the restaurant you wish to purchase?"

Chu Muyao smiled at Shen Huai'an, but her smile faded slightly when she saw Song Biyun beside him. "Miss Song is here too."

“Princess, I happened to run into Biyun when I came to buy a restaurant today, so she came along to take a look.”

Shen Huai'an looked at Chu Muyao with eyes full of joy, as if from the moment she appeared, his eyes could no longer see anyone else.

Chu Muyao noticed Shen Huai'an's attitude and became happier, saying, "What a coincidence! I thought you two had arranged it."

"How could that be?" Shen Huai'an smiled lightly. "What do you think of this restaurant? I've looked at all the restaurants around here, and this is the one that best suits my taste."

Chu Muyao had already seen the situation outside when she arrived, and immediately nodded and said, "What you've chosen is naturally excellent."

However, when she saw Song Ruozhen and the other person come out from inside, her eyes were filled with surprise and delight.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Chu Muyao stepped forward happily and excitedly took Song Ruozhen's hand, "I was planning to visit you later, but I didn't expect to run into you outside."

"I heard from the King of Chu that you were injured a few days ago and have been recuperating in the palace. You should be fully recovered by now, right?"

"Actually, my injury wasn't serious to begin with, but my mother told me to take good care of myself and make sure I didn't leave a scar, so I had to rest for a while longer."

As she spoke, Chu Muyao looked at Shen Huai'an beside her and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Shen Huai'an. I was able to return safely last time thanks to his help."
