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

"What are you laughing at? You're Jing Shen's brother, and at least he's liked girls before. But you, after all these years, you haven't even had a girl you like. I'm starting to wonder if you've ever come to your senses!" Song Lin said disdainfully.

Song Zhiyu: "??? I was born on the same day as him."

"Being born earlier is still earlier, but who told you to be the third child?"

Song Zhiyu: "..." I give up, what can I do? You're my father.

Song Yi'an stood quietly to the side, hoping that the fire would not spread to her.

However, Song Lin turned his gaze and saw him, saying, "Although you have become the top scholar in the imperial examination, you are already of marriageable age. When do you want to wait?"

"Now, many people in the capital want to arrange marriages for you, but you refuse to see a single one. Do you know what everyone is saying these days?"

"How so?" Song Zhiyu asked curiously.

Song Lin was speechless. "You said your second brother is still hung up on Zhao Shuwan from before and is heartbroken. If she were a good girl, it would be one thing, but... can you even stand listening to this?"

He went out to fight for several years, but who would have thought that his own sons would all become so incompetent?

He clearly had good taste and chose a good wife. I wonder who these brats have taken after.

Song Yi'an: "...It really does sound a bit harsh."

Just then, a lively sound came from outside. Song Lin immediately forgot about his sons and quickly walked outside.

"Zhen'er is back!"

"Miss and son-in-law are back!" Lively and joyful voices came from outside.

Song Ruozhen had a big smile on her face. Even though she had only been married for two days, she felt a different way when she came back.

"Zhen'er, son-in-law, you've arrived."

Gu Ruyan quickly came to greet them, and upon seeing the things they had left in the courtyard, she hurriedly said, "It's good that you're back. Why did you bring anything? Didn't I tell you before that you didn't need to prepare anything?"

“He prepared this, saying that we couldn’t be impolite,” Song Ruozhen chuckled.

"I am extremely grateful to my parents-in-law for marrying such a wonderful wife as Ruozhen. These are just a small token of my appreciation," Chu Junting said.

Upon hearing this, Song Lin found it exceptionally pleasing to the ear, and couldn't help but recall the ruthless and iron-fisted appearance of the King of Chu when he first saw him in the military camp.

The words he speaks now are completely different from those he spoke back then. Who would have thought that the King of Chu would ever speak so eloquently?

Taking advantage of the lull in Song Lin and Chu Junting's conversation, Gu Ruyan stopped Song Ruozhen and pulled her aside, asking with concern:

"Have you settled in well these past two days at the Prince's residence? I heard that when you went to the palace to express your gratitude yesterday, you happened to witness Consort Duan's accident. I hope you weren't implicated?"

"I am doing well in the Prince's mansion, so Mother can rest assured."

Song Ruozhen smiled as Chu Junting rearranged the entire courtyard according to her preferences. Not only were all the items he chose her favorites, but even the pillows he used for sleeping were arranged according to her habits.

There was her favorite swing in the courtyard, and all the flowers she liked were planted there. In addition, Chenxiang had also been brought as part of her dowry, so she really felt very comfortable.

"As for Consort Duan's matter, it naturally has nothing to do with me. I just watched the show."

Song Ruozhen thought about it and felt that Consort Zhong might hold a grudge against her because of this, but at the same time, she also gained face in front of the Emperor and the Crown Prince because of this.

Yesterday in the palace, the Emperor did not say much, but after they returned, he sent her a reward, which shows that he appreciates her.

"The conflicts in the harem have always been extremely terrible. I originally hoped that you would marry into a good family, thinking that there would be fewer troubles."

However, marriage is predestined, and it's not something we can control. Seeing that the King of Chu is truly devoted to you, I'm relieved," Gu Ruyan said.

Song Ruozhen held Gu Ruyan's hand affectionately, knowing that her mother was very worried about her.

"Mother, don't worry, the prince and I will be careful."

"With the King of Chu taking care of you, your mother can rest assured. Today, I've had the kitchen prepare all your favorite dishes. Be sure to eat plenty later to nourish your bodies!"

Hearing her mother's suggestive words, Song Ruozhen blushed, feeling as if she had been seen through...

Since their wedding night, she had come to realize the extent of this man's stamina. If she hadn't mentioned that she was going back to her parents' home today and couldn't make a scene for too long, she probably wouldn't have known when it would have stopped.

After the family had a lively lunch, Song Ruozhen was chatting with her mother in the yard, while Chu Junting was playing chess with Song Lin, when they suddenly heard a message from outside.

"Second Young Master, Miss Ruan has sent a gift, saying it's a birthday present for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone present seemed to be drawn to it, turning their gazes to Song Yi'an.

Song Yi'an also looked surprised, took the things handed to him by the servant, and asked, "Where is Miss Ruan?"

"They should still be outside the door right now."

Seeing this, Song Yi'an didn't say anything more and walked straight outside.

Gu Ruyan's eyes were full of smiles. "When Yi'an passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, I thought Miss Ruan was very good. If she could become my daughter-in-law, that would be the best thing."

But back then, I didn't think Yi'an and she were very familiar with each other. Now... Zhen'er, you've always been right about things, do you think there's any hope?

"It's my second brother's birthday. Miss Ruan came specially to deliver a gift. Before she even came in, my second brother chased after her... Does Mother think I still need to do the divination?"

The mother and daughter smiled at each other, both knowing that feelings had developed between them.

"My second brother has always been like this, so it's a bit difficult for him to actively pursue girls. However, he is good-looking and talented, and many girls like him, so Mother doesn't need to worry at all."

Seeing that Song Yi'an had left, Song Zhiyu started walking out. He noticed that no one in the courtyard had moved, which puzzled him. This was not like his family's personality!

"Am I the only one who wants to go out and see the world?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen and Gu Ruyan exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Seeing that everyone had gone to watch, Song Lin couldn't help but feel curious. But the game was only halfway through, and as a father, he couldn't very well follow his children out to watch the excitement.

The King of Chu is still here!

After handing over the gift, Ruan Niantang felt a little hopeful, thinking that perhaps the Second Young Master Song would come out to see her.

However, she wasn't sure, and after hesitating for a moment, she decided not to stay any longer. Just as she turned to leave, she heard a voice behind her.

"Miss Ruan."

She stopped and turned around with some surprise, "Second Young Master Song."

"Thank you for the gift, I really like it." Song Yi'an's face was radiant with a gentle and warm smile, like the bright moon, its gentle light shining into people's hearts.

Ruan Niantang smiled, but couldn't help feeling nervous inside. "I'm glad the Second Young Master likes it."

Song Yi'an noticed that Ruan Niantang's complexion was not good, unlike her usual radiant appearance when they met, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
