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

"it's me."

Song Ruozhen nodded.

"I didn't say much before because I was afraid my mother would worry. I was thinking of giving you a surprise after I recovered."

This wasn't just her idea; it was also her two older brothers' idea.

After all, when she first started treating her illness, neither Song Yi'an nor Song Zhiyu believed in her medical skills; they only agreed because they wanted to pamper their younger sister.

"This...this was also learned after I fell into a coma?" Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask.

“That’s right,” Song Ruozhen replied matter-of-factly.

Anyway, this explanation is easier to accept than the idea that she transmigrated into the original body.

Liu Ruyan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, pulled Song Ruozhen to examine her carefully, and after confirming that it was indeed her daughter whom she knew all too well, she began to feel relieved.

"Zhen'er, it's all thanks to you, otherwise your second brother's life would probably be..."

Song Ruozhen took her hand and said, "Mother, our Song family will never fall easily. Second Brother's eyes have recovered now. Once he gets good results in the spring examination, who will dare to look down on us?"

She had seen how hard Liu Ruyan had been working lately. She had never liked associating with the ladies, but her father had gone missing and her family had been plagued by misfortunes.

She knew all too well that even with the Emperor's protection for the time being, as long as no one in her family could stand up, the family would eventually disappear.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and get good results in this spring examination."

Song Yi'an's eyes were firm. Back then, he was determined to pass the imperial examinations, but because he became famous at a young age, he was somewhat arrogant and impetuous.

Since losing his sight, he often couldn't help but think in the quiet of the night how wonderful it would be if he could go back to school. All those things that were once within his grasp had become a luxury.

He forced himself not to think too much, but the more he tried, the more he thought, and even the content he had read before became clearer.

Those works that were once touted as masterpieces now finally understand that, as Confucius once said, they lacked depth and refinement.

"Your mother believes in you."

Liu Ruyan's eyes were full of satisfaction. Yi'an's academic achievements had always been remarkable, and she had always been proud of them back then.

"The imperial examinations will begin soon, so focus on your studies."

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan looked at Song Ruozhen expectantly, "Ruozhen, your medical skills are so superb, I wonder if you could also take a look at your elder brother's leg ailment?"

“Of course!” Song Ruozhen nodded. “I was planning to treat my second brother’s eye disease first, and then go see my eldest brother for his leg ailment.”

The reason I didn't go before is because acupuncture is quite energy-consuming, and given my current condition, I can only treat one person before treating another.

If it were her previous body, this would naturally not be a problem, but now that she has a different body, it will take time for her to return to her previous state.

"How are you feeling? Don't overwork yourself."

Liu Ruyan's eyes were full of concern. "Your elder brother's leg ailment is not urgent. If you overwork yourself, wouldn't that be a loss?"

"Don't worry, Mother, I know what I'm doing."

"Why don't we go see our elder brother now?" Song Zhiyu suggested.

The group exchanged glances. Ever since Song Yanzhou returned severely injured, they had consulted the imperial physicians and renowned doctors throughout the city, but none of them could cure his legs.

Since then, Song Yanzhou has secluded himself in the courtyard and refused to see anyone.

However, just as they were heading to Song Yanzhou's room, they saw his personal servant rushing over.

"Ma'am, it's not good!"

"What happened?"

"The eldest young master's door is locked, and I can't get in. No matter how I call, there's no response," Guan Yan said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly, and they hurriedly rushed to Song Yanzhou's courtyard.

Outside the door, maids and servants were calling out anxiously; the door was locked from the inside.

No matter how hard they pushed, the door remained firmly in place, and there was no sound from inside.

"Young master, don't scare me! Open the door quickly!"

Song Ruozhen immediately sensed a deathly aura permeating the room. Her eyebrows furrowed. It wasn't like this yesterday. What exactly happened in just one night?

"boom!"

The door was suddenly kicked open!

Everyone watched as their usually frail Fifth Sister kicked open the tightly locked door with a single kick. The lock trembled and fell to the ground, clearly broken in two...

When did Fifth Sister become so powerful?

However, no one cared about that at the moment. They rushed into the room and saw Song Yanzhou lying on the bed with a pale face, his life hanging in the balance.

"Young master, young master, please don't frighten Guanyan."

Guan Yan, the personal servant, knelt before the bed and tremblingly reached out to check the patient's breath. Upon discovering that the patient was still breathing, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"let me see."

Song Ruozhen quickly stepped forward to take Song Yanzhou's pulse, and gradually her expression became serious.

"Fifth Sister, how is the situation?" Song Yi'an and Song Zhiyu couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Ever since the eldest brother returned, he has been depressed. At first, they stayed by his side, but he felt uncomfortable with them and wanted to be alone, so they had no choice but to agree.

After all, his elder brother was once so full of vigor, but after returning from the battlefield, he could no longer stand up, and their father went missing. He must not be able to bear it for a while.

I had thought that after some time, my strong-willed older brother would figure things out.

Two days ago, because of what the younger sister said, they even came to see the older brother. At the time, they did not notice anything amiss. They never expected that the older brother would have an accident today.

Song Ruozhen winked at Song Zhiyu, "Third brother, take control of everyone in eldest brother's courtyard."

Song Zhiyu was taken aback, but immediately understood. "I'll go right now."

Song Yi'an's expression was grave. "Fifth Sister, has Eldest Brother been poisoned?"

Liu Ruyan's face was deathly pale, her eyes filled with uncontrollable panic and anxiety, "Is there any hope?"

“My brother has been poisoned,” Song Ruozhen admitted.

Song Yi'an's heart sank, but she couldn't understand, "My brother is disabled in both legs and is now a cripple, so why would anyone still target him?"

Song Ruozhen was also surprised. When she read the book, Song Yanzhou had suffered a blow and then had the idea of ​​dying, and committed suicide. There was no poisoning involved.

Could it be that because many things changed after she transmigrated into the book, the other party chose to poison her?

"Quickly, find a doctor!" Song Yi'an glanced at Song Ruozhen, then gave the order to the outside world.

Song Ruozhen understood. She could cure the poison, but since the other party had poisoned her, they had to make some noise. Wouldn't it be strange if they did it silently?

Now that the Song family is in turmoil and many eyes are watching, it would be safer for the eldest brother to believe that something has really happened.

"Mother, don't worry, I can cure this poison. My elder brother will be fine."

Liu Ruyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

"Mother, when the people come later, you need to act convincingly so that they don't notice anything amiss," Song Yi'an reminded her.

The doctor arrived shortly afterward.

"The eldest young master has been poisoned, and the poison is spreading extremely rapidly, already penetrating his internal organs. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Liu Ruyan's legs went weak and she almost fell down. Song Ruozhen quickly supported her, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Mother's acting skills are truly superb!
