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

"So, Ruozhen arrived first today?"

Chu Muyao frowned; although she was asking a question, she already understood.

Shen Huai'an naturally understood Chu Muyao's meaning and lowered his voice to say:

“Princess, I’ve had my eye on this restaurant for a long time. You know my situation at home, and I’ve always wanted to start my own business and impress everyone.”

Now I have a clearer goal, which is why, even though I know my family disagrees, I'm still raising money from all over the place. This restaurant is the perfect fit for me right now.

Shen Huai'an's gaze fell on Chu Muyao. Although he didn't say it clearly, his affectionate gaze said it all.

Everything he is doing now is for Chu Muyao.

"Perhaps it wasn't appropriate for me to say such things before, but the Song family is a large and powerful family with businesses all over the capital. I wonder if you could put in a good word for me and ask them to give me this restaurant?"

Chu Muyao frowned, meeting Shen Huai'an's eyes, and couldn't utter a word of refusal.

Seeing Shen Huai'an and Chu Muyao whispering to each other, Song Jingshen also said, "This guy is clearly relying on the princess's power. What rumors? He's the one who spread them himself!"

“Fourth brother, apart from Ke Yuanzhi, your judgment has always been very accurate.” Song Ruozhen nodded.

Song Jingshen: "Actually, the first sentence could have been omitted."

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "It seems we won't be able to buy this restaurant back today."

Song Jingshen was silent for a moment, noticing the hesitation on Chu Muyao's face, and sighed: "Tsk tsk, the restaurant is fine, but if this place doesn't work, we can always look at other places."

However, you must warn the princess not to be fooled by such a scumbag.

Judging from Chu Muyao's attitude just now, she clearly respected her fifth sister. She was just blinded by that scumbag. As long as he saw through her sooner, he would realize that Chu Muyao was a very good person.

"Don't worry, I won't let this kind of guy ruin Mu Yao's future."

Song Ruozhen nodded, her gaze falling on Song Biyun not far away. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. This guy is indeed Ke Yuanzhi's friend; they're birds of a feather.

She couldn't understand why, although the relationship between the two Song families hadn't been good since they separated, Song Biyun's branch wasn't too bad either. How could they have fallen so low as to have their sweetheart marry another girl and then support her?

There are plenty of men in the world, yet she has to resort to other women to support him. She must be blind!

After a moment, Chu Muyao hesitated and said to Song Ruozhen, "Sister-in-law, could we let them have this restaurant for now?"

"I know it's not appropriate for me to say this, I..."

Seeing Chu Muyao's embarrassed look, Song Ruozhen said with an iron hand, "Since you've asked, I'll naturally agree."

Upon hearing this, Chu Muyao first breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt an even stronger sense of guilt.

Her sister-in-law had always treated her extremely well, and she genuinely liked her. Logically, she should help her sister-in-law, but now...

“Young Master Shen saved your life, so it’s normal for you to want to repay him. It’s just a small matter, nothing to worry about,” Song Ruozhen said with a light smile.

Chu Muyao's heart softened, and she took Song Ruozhen's hand, whispering, "Sister-in-law, you're so good to me."

Song Jingshen glanced at his younger sister without showing any emotion. As expected of her, she brought up the topic of repaying a debt of gratitude in just a few words, which not only eased the atmosphere but also meant that even if Shen Huai'an wanted to use the life-saving debt as an excuse in the future, he had already repaid part of the debt.

When Song Biyun saw that Song Ruozhen had actually agreed, she was happy, but her eyes became increasingly resentful.

What a bitch!

They were cousins ​​after all. When she spoke up earlier, Song Ruozhen was unwilling to back down at all, but Chu Muyao agreed immediately as soon as she opened her mouth, which was a slap in the face to her!

Shen Huai'an was not happy. He realized what Song Ruozhen meant, but since she had already said it so clearly, he could only smile and agree.

After leaving the restaurant, Song Ruozhen and Song Jingshen left first and continued to look for other suitable restaurants in the vicinity.

Fifth sister, aren't you going to go with them and take a look?

That kid has a shifty look on his face; he's obviously no good. If he's up to something bad, I thought you would have stopped him.

Song Jingshen raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the three figures not far behind. "Song Biyun and that kid have an unusual relationship. I bumped into them a few days ago and thought they were going to get married."

“Shen Huai’an naturally wants to marry the princess. He still has a chance and is thinking about how to make Mu Yao like him. He won’t resort to any other means, so there’s no need to worry for now.”

Song Ruozhen smiled faintly, "It's no use for me to directly advise Mu Yao now. Before many things happen, other people's words won't be believed, but will only annoy people."

I think Mu Yao is a rational person. Although I have some feelings for her, she's not deeply infatuated. It's better to let her see Shen Huai'an's true colors with her own eyes.

There are many people in this world who won't turn back until they hit a wall. She values ​​Mu Yao highly, so she doesn't want her to have to choose between herself and her savior, and decide who to believe.

In this way, even if she is ultimately proven to be right, the hesitation that occurred along the way is not a good thing. Therefore, guiding her indirectly is the most appropriate approach.

"Fourth brother, what do you think of this restaurant?"

Song Ruozhen pointed to the restaurant next door, a playful glint in her eyes.

Song Jingshen turned his gaze. "This restaurant is right next door, but it's only two stories high, a bit small. Are you planning to hold a competition?"

"No rush. Since they insist on this restaurant, let them buy it. Maybe it will come back to us soon, and the price will be even lower."

Song Ruozhen spoke casually. She had heard Bai Zhi say that Song Biyun had been frequently seen near Song's Barbecue these days and had even ordered people to buy a lot of barbecue.

Now that she happens to be buying a restaurant, it's easy to guess what she's up to.

Song Jingshen was somewhat surprised, but remembering that his fifth sister's words were always very accurate, he calmly waited to see the show.

royal palace.

Seeing his elder brother take the initiative to talk to his mother about getting married, Chu Yungui's brows furrowed with worry. They had parted on bad terms because of this before, and he didn't know if they could resolve it smoothly this time.

The Empress did not expect that Chu Junting would arrive so soon after Lu Minhui had mentioned this matter.

Her gaze shifted to Lu Minhui beside her, "You two made a date?"

"No." Lu Minhui waved her hands repeatedly, looking completely innocent. "It was a complete coincidence. I had no idea about it."

Chu Junting didn't expect Lu Minhui to be here, but he understood that his aunt was speaking up for him, and he felt a little grateful.

"Mother, Father has already drafted the imperial decree to bestow the marriage. I have come today hoping to receive your blessing," Chu Junting said.
