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

"When I made such a big fuss, everyone in the capital knew I was blind, but I didn't care at all?"

Song Jingshen looked nonchalant. Although he did feel ashamed to face people when he learned what he had done in the past, he had already lost all face in the past, so he didn't care about anything now.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "You should learn from my fourth brother. Back then, that incident became known to everyone in the capital, but he didn't care at all. Since no one knows about your matter, it's fine."

To be precise, both scumbags and scumbags are the same; their minds are focused on how to have multiple wives and enjoy the blessings of having two women, and they have no real skills whatsoever.

Without you, I am nothing.

“Sister-in-law, you’re right. If I’m wrong, I’ll let you know first if I ever like someone again, so you can help me make an informed decision.”

Chu Muyao blinked, making up her mind that she could never be so humiliated again!

"I can take a look for you too," Song Jingshen joked.

Chu Muyao looked at her with suspicion, "You?"

"What? You look down on me?" Song Jingshen stared intently, retorting defiantly.

"Mu Yao, my fourth brother is now in charge of the family business. He knows all the gossip in the capital like the back of his hand, and he is even familiar with Shen Huai'an's family affairs."

If you ever want to find out about someone in the future, you can't go wrong by asking him.

Song Ruozhen chuckled and suggested sending guards to inquire, but perhaps that wouldn't be enough, since those everyday matters were usually passed down from the mouths of maids and nannies.

Chu Muyao then looked at Song Jingshen with some skepticism, "Alright."

Song Jingshen was amused by Chu Muyao's expression. "It's fine if you don't believe me, but I'll kindly remind you that your previous heroic rescue of the beauty might not have been romantic; it could have been premeditated."

Upon hearing this, Chu Muyao's expression completely changed. "Do you have any evidence for what you're saying?"

"No." Song Jingshen spread his hands. "Many girls in the capital are deceived in this way. It's just a common trick. Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences of heroes saving beauties?"

You should have someone you trust investigate carefully, lest you be kept in the dark and end up owing a life-saving debt.

……

Ling family.

Grand Tutor Ling's expression was solemn. "Things have become very troublesome since Song Lin returned. Although there haven't been any major actions yet, they are secretly investigating."

Once this is discovered, you should understand our situation.

"Wen Tao is already dead, are they still not satisfied?" Ling's father's face was grim. "Song Lin is incredibly lucky to have survived under those circumstances."

“Song Ruozhen is no pushover either. I specifically sent someone to investigate. I heard that she sensed that Song Lin was in danger and specially led Song Zhiyu and the others to rescue him.”

If they hadn't arrived in time, Song Lin would probably be dead, and Wen Tao wouldn't have lost his life.

I heard she's skilled in metaphysics; the Song family was on the verge of ruin, but thanks to her, they had a glimmer of hope.

Ling's mother couldn't help but tear up. Her son was gone just like that; it was something she had never imagined. She said:

"You should have just killed Song Lin back then, even if it took more effort. Now that Wen Tao has died because of this, I feel so bad. You must avenge Wen Tao!"

Upon hearing this, Ling's father couldn't help but think of his son, and a wave of resentment washed over him. For Song Lin's sake, he had unjustly dragged his own son into trouble!

“Song Ruozhen and the Prince of Chu have an extraordinary relationship. Originally, she wanted Qian'er to marry the Prince of Chu, and everything would have been fine. Didn’t you persuade the Empress? Why did she suddenly change her mind?”

Ling's mother's face was ashen. "What else could it be? Song Ruozhen has bewitched the Prince of Chu. He only has eyes for Song Ruozhen and doesn't care about Qian'er at all. No matter how hard we try, it's useless."

“This can’t go on. Qian’er is of marriageable age. Wasn’t Prince Che very attentive to her before?”

Anyway, Prince Che doesn't have a princess consort now; the previous one is already in prison. It's perfect for Qian'er. As long as she marries into the royal family, our Ling family's position will be more secure."

Grand Tutor Ling spoke coldly, making his judgment directly.

Mr. Ling nodded and looked at Mrs. Ling, "Tell Qian'er about this later and ask her to handle it as soon as possible."

"Qian'er doesn't seem to like Prince Che." Madam Ling hesitated. "Prince Che was indeed very attentive to Qian'er before, but things seem to have changed recently, and it might not be going so smoothly..."

At that moment, Ling Qian'er knocked on the door and came in.

"Grandfather, rest assured, I will definitely become Princess Che!"

The woman's eyes were filled with confidence, but also revealed a hint of displeasure. What was it about her that made her inferior to Song Ruozhen, so that Chu Junting wouldn't even glance at her?

Despite their childhood friendship, Chu Junting showed absolutely no affection for her. She felt incredibly aggrieved. Why?

Since she can't be the Princess Consort of Chu, she'll be the Princess Consort of Che!

When they meet again in the future, Chu Junting will have to call her "Imperial Sister-in-law"!

The Song family's desire to bring them down is nothing but a pipe dream!

Seeing Ling Qian'er's confidence, Grand Tutor Ling showed a satisfied expression. "Very good. I know you never disappoint your family."

When Ling Qian'er agreed so easily, her parents breathed a sigh of relief. It must be said that their daughter was always very smart; knowing that something was impossible, she would not choose to hit a brick wall.

Her decisive killing of Wen Tao this time actually eliminated a major future threat; otherwise, once the King of Chu's men arrived and saw that Wen Tao was still alive, the matter would have been impossible to cover up.

"You must do this as soon as possible, without delay. The situation in the court has changed, and many people are watching us."

Once your marriage is settled, our situation will improve significantly. Those opportunists won't easily switch sides. Song Lin has always been difficult to deal with; even though we orchestrated it, he still astutely discovered the problem at the last minute.

Whenever Grand Tutor Ling mentioned Song Lin, his brows furrowed in disapproval; this guy was a thorn in his side and a stumbling block!

"Grandfather, although I am confident that I can become Princess Che, since the Song family is already a major threat, I'm afraid it won't be enough for me to marry into the family alone, right?"

Ling Qian'er thought about the news she had heard in the capital recently: the Song family's business was thriving and they were praised by many. Although Song Ruozhen rarely attended gatherings of young ladies in the capital, her reputation was the most prominent.

"The Prince of Chu attaches great importance to Song Ruozhen. I heard that the Emperor also intends to bestow a marriage upon the two of them. Once they are successfully married, the Song family, with the help of the Prince of Chu and the Gu family, will be difficult to shake."

Grand Tutor Ling gave Ling Qian'er an approving look. "You're right, so... we can't let Song Ruozhen marry into the Chu Prince's mansion as she wishes."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent instantly. The group exchanged glances, each forming their own judgment.
