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

Hearing Yun Chengze's words, Yun Nianchu's eyes were full of surprise, but more than that, she wanted to know the reason behind all of this.

Why exactly?

Why is it that all these years, despite her expressing her feelings for him more than once, her cousin has always avoided her, and she can't get an answer she wants?

He was so good to her, and he always had her in his heart, so why did he do this?

Yun Chengze spoke with difficulty and embarrassment, finally revealing the thoughts he had kept hidden in his heart for so many years...

As Yun Nianchu listened to all this, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes. She found it hard to believe that there were so many hidden secrets she was unaware of.

"So...we're not cousins?"

Yun Nianchu was stunned. This was something she had never known before; her cousin had never mentioned it all these years.

Yun Chengze nodded, "Back then, I was abandoned at the back door. If it weren't for my mother's kindness in taking me in, I would have died long ago..."

Over the years, he had thought about his biological parents on many nights, wondering who they were and why they abandoned him. Sometimes he tried to convince himself that thinking about these questions was pointless and a waste of time.

However, when he was alone, he still couldn't help but think about it.

He focused more on his studies, deeply aware of his own weakness and inferiority complex, and wanted to change everything through his own efforts.

Even if he pretends well in front of everyone, when he looks at the innocent and cheerful Nianchu, who is sunny and gentle, the feelings hidden in his heart will unconsciously rise up.

Like creatures hiding in the cold, damp, and dark places, secretly peeking at that ray of sunlight...

……

Since recovering from his injuries, Shen Huai'an has clearly noticed that the way people in the manor look at him has changed. The undisguised mockery and contempt make him furious.

"These guys all deserve to die. What gives them the right to look down on me?"

He clenched his fists in a fit of rage, his heart filled with resentment. Not only his father, but everyone in the entire Shen family looked down on him, thinking he could never become the prince consort. He was determined to show these guys what he was capable of!

Once he becomes the emperor's son-in-law and rises to great heights, these guys will all have to fawn over him. He will definitely not let them have a good life!

"Huai'an, you've just recovered from your illness. Why aren't you resting in your room? What are you doing out here again?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Shen Junze's eyes, "Because of your rebellious behavior, our whole family almost suffered. You wouldn't want to go out and cause trouble now, would you?"

Looking at the arrogant Shen Junze in front of him, Shen Huai'an's face was extremely ugly. This was the legitimate son of the main wife, who had been suppressing him since childhood, making him feel suffocated.

"I did make a small misunderstanding before, but as long as I talk to the princess properly, things will be back to normal soon. You don't need to worry!" Shen Huai'an said coldly.

Shen Junze scoffed, "I don't need to worry about you? You don't even know how much trouble you've caused. If it weren't for the princess's magnanimity and the empress's reluctance to escalate this matter and ruin the princess's reputation, do you think you'd still be safe and sound?"

At this point, Shen Junze's eyes turned cold. "Since you're incompetent, you should stay in the manor. If you can't help the people in the manor, fine, but at least don't drag them down!"

"I'm a burden? When I saved the princess and made a great contribution, why didn't you say such things?"

The princess and I currently only have a minor disagreement; once I've explained things clearly, everything will naturally return to normal at sea.

Shen Huai'an spoke as if it were a matter of course, with even a hint of smugness in his eyes, "Think about it carefully, if it were anyone else, they would have been dead long ago if they had caused this kind of trouble."

"And me? I only got a beating, but I recovered so quickly. Don't you understand why?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Shen Junze narrowed his eyes, realizing the problem; Shen Huai'an was far too confident.

"The princess is acting this way simply because she's jealous." Shen Huai'an chuckled, smoothed his hair, and said, "The princess has always been fond of me, but seeing Song Biyun always by my side, she misunderstood my relationship with her, which is why she's acting this way."

It's perfectly normal for women to be jealous of each other; it's just that the princess has a bit of a temper, which is why she hit me.

If she didn't love him, she wouldn't be this angry, do you understand?

Shen Junze paused for a moment, subconsciously feeling that Princess Mu Yao's judgment shouldn't be that bad, but then he became uncertain again.

Because Shen Huai'an was far too confident. If he didn't have absolute confidence, given his personality, he wouldn't have said such a thing with such certainty.

Seeing the other person's expression, Shen Huai'an's smugness deepened, and he walked past him with an air of nonchalance, saying, "So what if you're the legitimate son? From now on, you'll have to bow respectfully to me!"

As Shen Huai'an left, a servant couldn't help but say, "Young master, Shen Huai'an seems so confident, could it really be true?"

“Impossible.” Shen Junze shook his head. “This guy is despicable. In my opinion, he’s probably up to some evil idea. Let’s go find Song Jingshen.”

When Song Jingshen heard Shen Junze's words, he frowned.

"You mean Shen Huai'an hasn't given up on this idea yet?"

Originally, it was thought that after what happened that day, Shen Huai'an should give up this plan, but unexpectedly, the guy was stubborn and obsessed with becoming the prince consort, and he still refused to give up!

"Brother Song, based on my understanding of Shen Huai'an, he is not the gentle person everyone usually sees. He has no shortage of dark methods behind the scenes."

The reason I'm bringing this up today is because I'm worried about potential problems. If it involves the entire Shen family, that would be terrible.

"Miss Song will soon be the Princess Consort of Chu. I thought telling you this might also serve as a reminder to Princess Mu Yao."

Shen Junze had seen Princess Muyao and Song Jingshen walking closely together at the lantern festival, but he was still unclear about their relationship, so he spoke to them very politely.

"I understand, Brother Shen. Rest assured, I will inform Princess Muyao that not everyone in the Shen family is as sinister as Shen Huai'an."

Song Jingshen naturally understood Shen Junze's purpose in coming here today. It was not only to show his face in front of them, but also to prevent Shen Huai'an from causing trouble and implicating the entire Shen family.

Therefore, he made it very clear that he would inform everyone about this matter.

However, if a serious disaster is caused, how to deal with it is up to the royal family to decide.

Shen Junze was delighted, knowing that Song Jingshen was a smart man, and immediately nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Song. Farewell, I won't bother you any longer."
