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

Ruan Niantang was not surprised at all by these words and smiled, "Actually, I had thought about the same thing when I saw my second brother doing this. But when my second brother proposed, I saw my sister-in-law agree with him."

Besides, although my second brother is a strong and burly man, he is not an overbearing person, especially towards the girl he likes.

If my second sister-in-law is unwilling, even if my second brother likes her very much, he would never force her.

"That's exactly what I find strange. Since my second sister-in-law agreed to marry my second brother, why has she been so cold to me since the marriage?"

Ruan Niantang's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. Her second brother used to be such a cheerful person. Every time he came back, he would buy her delicious food with a smile.

However, ever since he got together with his second sister-in-law, he has changed completely. He is no longer as happy as before, and there is always a trace of sorrow between his brows.

This was an emotion that would never have appeared on his face before, and now he seemed to have lost all his previous high spirits, as if he had completely humbled himself to the dust.

"You previously said that your second sister-in-law put your second brother through a test. If he passes, he can have a child with her. Could you tell me in detail what this test is?" Song Ruozhen asked again.

Ruan Niantang looked at Chu Junting and Song Yi'an beside her, her expression revealing a hint of embarrassment.

She was always nervous and her heart would race whenever she faced the Second Young Master Song. Now, with the addition of His Highness the Prince of Chu, the pressure was simply too great.

She didn't dare look to the side at this moment, and could only keep looking at Ruozhen.

“We’re all family here, so don’t worry, just say it,” Song Yi’an said, noticing Ruan Niantang’s restraint.

Ruan Niantang then carefully recounted the whole story, but the three people present found it extremely strange when they learned about the content of the test.

"You mean your second sister-in-law wants your second brother to stay in this house for a month, and once that month is up, he'll have passed the test?"

Ruan Niantang nodded, "That's right. My sister-in-law said this is a tradition in their hometown. Only if the test is passed will the child be born healthy."

The second brother agreed upon hearing the news, since it didn't seem like a big deal; it was just a matter of living separately for a month temporarily.

"The world is full of wonders, but I've never heard of such a strange custom before." Song Yi'an's expression was complicated; the whole thing sounded ridiculous no matter how you looked at it.

As the carriage came to a stop, Song Ruozhen and her companions arrived at Ruan Lingfeng's residence.

However, Song Ruozhen frowned when she saw the courtyard in front of her.

Chu Junting stood beside her, watching his wife's every move with concern. Seeing her expression, he asked with concern, "Is there really a problem here?"

Song Ruozhen nodded, "There is a strong aura of death here, which is completely out of place with the surroundings. It's really strange."

I don't know how the second sister-in-law of the Ruan family found such a cold and deathly place to conduct the test. If a normal person stayed here for a month, their yang energy would probably be completely drained.

Even strong young men can't withstand staying here for long.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Niantang recalled the situation when she met her second brother yesterday, and it seemed that she understood everything.

"Could it be that my second sister-in-law is trying to kill my second brother with this test?"

Her fair face was filled with deep terror. Could her second sister-in-law have done something so heinous?

Her second brother treated her so well, how could she bear to be heartless?

Song Ruozhen and the other two remained silent. The situation seemed extremely strange to any of them. It was better to wait until they understood the situation before making any decisions, and not to wrong anyone.

"Let's go in and take a look first. Don't rush to conclusions. Maybe your second sister-in-law doesn't know about this situation either," Song Yi'an reassured her.

Ruan Niantang nodded, then knocked on the door. "Second Brother, it's me."

"Nian Tang, why are you back?"

Ruan Lingfeng was surprised to hear Ruan Niantang's voice. His sister had always cared about him. She had just returned today, so why was she back again? Could it be that she had left something behind?

However, when he saw that there were other people standing outside the door, especially when he saw Chu Junting, his eyes flashed with deep surprise, and he quickly bowed.

"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Chu Junting raised his hand casually, "Ruan Erlang, it's been a while."

A hint of shame flashed across Ruan Lingfeng's face as he recalled that the King of Chu had once specially invited him to the military camp. He had hesitated at the time, but in his heart, his wife was the most important person.

But... so much has happened in the two years since they got married that his heart has gradually grown cold, and he feels that his initial choice may not have been the right one.

Looking at the thick death aura on Ruan Lingfeng's face, Song Ruozhen realized that it was no longer just a matter of being tainted by death aura, but rather death aura entering his body!

He's probably been here for half a month already. If he really has been here for a month, even if he passes this so-called test, it will still be very difficult for him to have a child.

Ruan Niantang had been observing Song Ruozhen's expression, and her heart sank when she saw her sighing.

"Ruozhen, is there any hope for my second brother?"

Ruan Lingfeng was taken aback when he heard this. "Nian Tang, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Second brother, when I saw Ruozhen today, she said that something was wrong with me. I only stayed here for one night, but I felt uncomfortable all over."

"You've been living here for almost half a month now, don't you feel something's wrong?" Ruan Niantang asked anxiously.

Ruan Lingfeng was slightly taken aback. He had naturally noticed this as well. He had been in good health before, but since moving in, he felt his energy and spirit were declining day by day. However, Qianqian had told him before that this was how the test was supposed to go.

However, all of this is just a test, and things will improve after a month.

She wanted to make sure her feelings for her wouldn't change, and it was also for the good of the child.

Although he had never heard of such a situation before, he felt that his sincerity would never be inferior to anyone else's. Qianqian wanted to ensure all of this for the child, and there was no problem with that, so he agreed.

"Nian Tang, didn't I tell you before? It's all just a test. Once a month is up, everything will naturally return to normal."

However, as soon as Ruan Lingfeng uttered these words, Song Ruozhen immediately interrupted his thoughts.

"Will not."

Ruan Lingfeng was slightly taken aback. "What does Princess Chu mean by this?"

"The death energy gathers here, and it is easy to attract unclean things at night. If you stay in such a place for a long time, the life force in your body will be gradually consumed."

Haven't you looked at your eyelids in the mirror? If they're just tired, they're bluish; but they're completely black.

After entering the first gate, Song Ruozhen saw the two small lions in front of the second gate and said, "I've found the root of the problem."

"Fifth sister, is there something wrong with this stone lion?" Song Yi'an asked suspiciously.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "The big lion guards the house, and the little lion guards the tomb."
