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

Chu Muyao found this explanation utterly ridiculous. Did she really need to spend so much time wiping her face after accidentally getting it dirty?

Moreover, since neither of them is married, they should avoid any appearance of impropriety. However, instead of being mindful of propriety, the two of them brazenly got together in front of so many people.

When she arrived, she clearly heard everyone discussing how well the two of them were a good match and that they should be getting engaged soon.

"Whether you have a relationship or not is none of my business. I have come here today to congratulate you on the opening of your restaurant."

Chu Muyao's face remained calm and composed, showing no sign of jealousy or annoyance typical of young women. In fact, she appeared somewhat puzzled, as if she didn't understand why Shen Huai'an would react this way.

Shen Huai'an was startled when he saw Chu Muyao like this. This princess was just like when the two of them first met, extremely distant, making people dare not get close to her.

It wasn't until he rescued the princess last time, which moved her, that their relationship became closer.

Unexpectedly, their relationship seems to have reverted to what it was before, which is absolutely unacceptable!

He had even spread the word at home that even his elder brother would never dare to step on his head!

"Mu Yao, I know you're angry. You can hit me or yell at me, just don't be so cold to me like you are now, okay?"

Shen Huai'an lowered his voice and humbled himself to the extreme.

"I'll do whatever you want me to do, as long as you pay attention to me."

Seeing Shen Huai'an's humble appearance and hearing his sweet words, Chu Muyao felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and couldn't think of anything else.

Because she was used to seeing how her mother and other concubines behaved in front of her father, she had never seen a man lower himself so much just to please her.

She felt that since Shen Huai'an was willing to go to such lengths for her, he must really like her.

However, after witnessing Shen Huai'an speaking to Song Biyun in the same manner from a short distance away, she finally understood.

She wasn't special in this man's eyes. He could do the same to any girl, which was ridiculous!

Seeing Shen Huai'an coaxing Chu Muyao, Song Biyun felt a pang of discomfort. She really didn't understand why Chu Muyao had clearly said she wasn't coming.

Why did we come?

"Young Master Shen, given that we are not yet that familiar with each other, please call me Princess. Otherwise, people might misunderstand."

Chu Muyao glanced at the maid, who then handed the congratulatory gift to Song Biyun.

"Miss Song, congratulations! I hope your business flourishes." The maid's eyes were full of mockery, but for the sake of the princess, she could only swallow her anger.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a crisp breaking sound rang out.

Shen Huai'an and Chu Muyao turned their gazes and saw that Song Biyun's hands were empty, and the God of Wealth that Chu Muyao had brought had been smashed on the ground.

Just looking at the shattered jade, everyone couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"This is top-quality jade, and it's also a statue of the God of Wealth. It must be incredibly valuable. It's such a shame that it was broken like this!"

"Tsk tsk, what's wrong with Miss Song? Today is the opening day of Shen's Barbecue Shop, and such a good omen has been ruined. This is not a good sign!"

Everyone sighed in amazement. This jade Buddha alone was worth a fortune, not to mention that it was the first day of business, and these were the things that should be avoided the most.

No one dared to say it outright, but everyone knew that when this happened, the shop's business was unlikely to thrive.

"Biyun, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Huai'an's eyes revealed his dissatisfaction, and even his voice was tinged with reproach.

The gift Chu Muyao sent must be extraordinary. Nothing in the palace is of poor quality, especially since she cares about her; it must have been a treasure she specially selected.

He was already short of money, and not to mention that the God of Wealth's auspiciousness was extremely good, even if he really ran out of money in the future, buying it would still be a large source of income!

Now look what's happened, it's just been smashed to pieces.

"Huai'an, it really wasn't me. I hadn't even reached out my hand when the maid let go, which is why the things fell to the ground."

Song Biyun looked aggrieved. She was truly innocent. She had only wanted to accept such a valuable gift properly, but who would have thought it would turn out like this?

Upon hearing this, Cuizhu quickly said, "Princess, it's really not that I was careless. I clearly handed the God of Wealth to Miss Song just now, but I don't know why she suddenly let go."

Another maid nodded repeatedly, "Princess, I saw it too. It was Miss Song who suddenly let go of my hand."

“Miss Song, this is really strange. Our princess is giving you gifts for no reason, and she hasn’t done anything to provoke you. Why would she do this?” Cuizhu asked in confusion.

Shen Huai'an had no doubt about Chu Muyao at all, but he glanced at Song Biyun with displeasure, "Since it has already happened, why not admit it? I really don't understand why you would do this!"

He knew without a doubt that Song Biyun was being petulant again. Ever since his relationship with Chu Muyao got better and better, Biyun had been unhappy all the time.

However, even if she is unhappy, she should have considered the situation. What good would it do her to make such a scene?

Song Biyun clenched her fists, almost furious, yet her heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Because she wasn't sure whether the maid had deliberately let go or whether she herself hadn't caught it properly.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I hope the princess will forgive me."

Chu Muyao glanced at Song Biyun indifferently, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "Fine, I've already expressed my feelings. If you don't like it, I won't force you."

"In that case, I'll be going now."

Seeing Chu Muyao turn to leave, Shen Huai'an couldn't help but get anxious and quickly grabbed her hand.

"Princess, don't rush off. Since you're already here, why not try some of the food at the shop?"

"what are you doing?"

Chu Muyao shook off Shen Huai'an's hand unhappily, "I hope Young Master Shen will have some self-respect."

Shen Huai'an's face turned extremely ugly upon seeing this. He was furious. What was wrong with Chu Muyao today?

Even if he's jealous, shouldn't he be this extreme? Could it be that she stumbled upon his affair with Song Biyun? That shouldn't be the case!

However, to the people around them, this scene made Shen Huai'an seem shameless.

"Shen Huai'an doesn't even consider his own status. Although he saved the princess, does he expect her to repay him with her body just because of that?"

"He's really got some nerve! A son of a concubine wants to marry a princess? It's like a toad trying to eat a swan!"
