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

"Large stone lions are usually placed at the main entrance to ward off evil spirits, but where do you usually see smaller lions?"

Song Ruozhen looked at the people beside her; this was not hard to guess.

Ruan Niantang's expression gradually turned ugly. When she arrived at her second brother's residence yesterday, she found the two little lion statues strange and even asked about them.

After all, stone lions are usually placed at the main entrance, so who would put their stone lions in the second entrance?

Moreover, this place is just a small courtyard, which is tiny compared to the Ruan family's house. If it weren't for his sister-in-law's instructions, his second brother wouldn't be living here.

Hearing Ruozhen's explanation now, she felt a chill run down her spine; it was truly terrifying!

"The little lion guarding the tomb, doesn't that mean the place where the second son of the Ruan family lives is..."

Song Yi'an's eyes were filled with astonishment. Just saying those words was chilling, let alone living here.

No wonder Fifth Sister said she saw a faint aura of death on Miss Ruan. As for Second Brother Ruan, even if he didn't have Fifth Sister's keen eyesight, he could tell just by looking at his face.

He looks so haggard, as if he's terminally ill.

Chu Junting remained silent, quietly observing everything in the courtyard. He had to admit that since being with Zhen'er, his eyes had truly been opened.

"Are you saying that if I stay here, my health will get worse and worse, and even if I leave, it won't get better?"

It wasn't until this moment that Ruan Lingfeng came to his senses. His younger sister had suddenly brought so many people, and he hadn't yet realized what was going on.

It wasn't until now, seeing everyone's serious expressions, that I realized something was wrong.

"That's right. Once your yang energy is drained, even if you're still alive, you'll become a sickly person."

Besides, the deathly aura here is so dense, whether you can withstand it is another matter entirely.

Song Ruozhen's eyes were serious; this place was not just about two stone lions.

Normally, even in large cemeteries, the concentration of death energy wouldn't be this strong.

These two small stone lions were set up with an array, absorbing an astonishing amount of death energy. Otherwise, Ruan Lingfeng wouldn't have changed from a spirited young man to his current state in just over half a month.

She had no idea who Nian Tang's second sister-in-law was, and this so-called test seemed to be a death trap!

If all of this was an accident, she thought the possibility was very small; otherwise, why wouldn't that girl Qianqian live here by herself?

"So, it's really tough to get through a month here?"

Ruan Lingfeng's expression gradually became serious. "No wonder I've been feeling increasingly unwell lately, and I just can't seem to muster any energy."

The next moment, however, he seemed to understand something and suddenly said:

"No wonder Qianqian has always been unwilling to have children with me or to share a room with me. It turns out it's because of the difficult customs of her family!"

Is she unwilling to let me undergo this test because she doesn't want to lose me?

Upon hearing this, everyone present was momentarily stunned.

They considered many possibilities, such as murder for money, or doing it secretly without anyone noticing, but they never considered this one possibility.

"No wonder Fourth Brother always understood Ruan Lingfeng. If Fourth Brother hadn't cleared his head yet, they could have truly become good friends."

Song Ruozhen lowered her voice and looked at Song Yi'an. Isn't this the ultimate love-obsessed person?

I thought only my fourth brother was like this, but I didn't expect there was one in the Ruan family too. These two are not only top-notch love-struck, but also pure-hearted. They believe whatever the other says!

Ruan Lingfeng was on the verge of death, yet he still thought the other party was doing it all for his own good!

In the original book, Ke Yuanzhi had already married Qu Kuo, but her fourth brother still foolishly gave her all his money, thinking she was forced into it, and even lost his life because of her.

Song Yi'an gave an awkward yet polite smile: "..."

He didn't understand either, but he couldn't just show it directly in front of them.

"Are you stupid?"

Chu Junting was clearly much more direct than the other two.

What kind of test is this? It's obviously a scam. How could anyone actually believe it?

"They haven't had sex in two years of marriage, she really dares to say that, do you dare to believe it!"

"Did you marry an ordinary girl, or some saint or witch, cursed by her family to never marry, for any woman she marries will bring misfortune to her husband?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen forced back her twitching lips; she had never realized Jun Ting was so eloquent.

This completely voiced everything that was on her mind!

In what places is it customary that after marriage, one must pass this hurdle before they can consummate the marriage?

They'll either die or become sickly, making it difficult to even have sex. Even if a sickly person manages to finish, can the child born be healthy?

This would surely lead to the extermination of the entire clan!

Ruan Lingfeng's expression froze, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say. He dared not speak recklessly in front of the King of Chu.

"Get them out of here. If they continue to live here, they'll really die," Song Ruozhen said.

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Ruan Lingfeng's eyes. "Qianqian said I have to stay here for a full month, otherwise I'll never have another chance."

"Second brother, what time is it? Your life is the most important thing!"

Ruan Niantang couldn't help but feel anxious. She really didn't understand her second sister-in-law. Her second brother was so good to her, so why did she treat him like this?

“But…” Ruan Lingfeng sighed, “My life was saved by your second sister-in-law. If she really wanted to harm me, why would she go to such lengths?”

"That won't do either. You don't only have your second sister-in-law. You also have us family members!"

Your parents have always loved you very much; you can't risk your life for your second sister-in-law!

Ruan Niantang was furious, feeling utterly disappointed in her second brother. She usually didn't care what her second brother did, but this matter concerned his life, and she absolutely couldn't let him continue like this!

"I don't care, you have to come back with me today!"

"If you don't go back, I'll call my parents and older brother, and we'll drag you back no matter what!"

Song Ruozhen and Song Yi'an exchanged a glance; it was the first time they had ever seen Ruan Niantang so assertive.

She is usually gentle and soft-spoken, as if she would never lose her temper. It was only at this moment that I realized she also has this side to her.

Seeing how angry she was, Ruan Lingfeng said, "Nian Tang, I know you're doing this for my own good. Why don't you go find your second sister-in-law and ask her what's going on?"

She and I are husband and wife, and I don't think he would harm me.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he met Chu Junting's cold and sharp gaze, and felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly changed his words:

"The Princess Consort of Chu must be doing this for my own good. I was just worried that Qianqian might have misremembered, or that she might have been deceived by her family."
