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

Looking at the elders of the second branch of the family, who seemed completely unaware of the situation, Ruan Niantang couldn't believe it herself.

After all, she had trusted Ruan Yuanwu so much before. If she hadn't heard him say all this with her own ears today, she would never have believed that he would do such a thing. It was simply too unbelievable!

"This was all Yuan Wu's conspiracy. He had this woman impersonate Huang Qianqian and then plotted to kill my second brother!"

His plan was truly brilliant. He not only wanted my second brother dead, but he also hoped that my eldest brother would go to the battlefield and never return, so that all the assets of our eldest branch of the family would fall into his hands!

Upon hearing this, Lord Ruan's expression instantly changed. "What did you say?"

“Father, we heard this with our own ears. This woman is not Huang Qianqian at all. She is Huang Qianqian’s older sister!”

The person who saved my second brother was Huang Qianqian, but Ruan Yuanwu found her to take Huang Qianqian's place and used Huang Qianqian's mother's life as a threat to force her not to tell the truth!

Then he arranged for this woman to marry my second brother, all so he could take the opportunity to kill him!

Ruan Niantang felt a chill run down her spine as she thought about it. "Fortunately, I ran into Ruozhen when I went to see Young Master Song today. She said something was wrong with me and that Second Brother might be in danger, so we went there specifically."

Otherwise, I fear that in a month, my second brother's life will truly be in danger!

The Ruan family naturally noticed Song Yi'an and the others, especially when they saw Chu Junting as soon as they entered the courtyard.

At the time, Lord Ruan found it strange that he would meet the King of Chu here. However, he was not unfamiliar with the King of Chu, as Yu Cheng had always served the King of Chu.

It wasn't until now that I realized it was thanks to the Princess Consort of Chu that I was able to learn the truth; otherwise, I don't know how long I would have been kept in the dark!

Madam Ruan naturally noticed Song Yi'an. She had noticed her as soon as she entered, and she already knew what her daughter was thinking.

However, there was no sign of anything going on between the two children, and as an elder of the woman's side, she couldn't bring herself to speak up. Now that the second son of the Song family had come here, it was likely that the two children had made some progress.

"King Chu, thank you so much for the reminder from the Princess today. If it weren't for the Princess's kind reminder, our Ruan family wouldn't even have known that such a poisonous insect had appeared. By the time we found out, it would have been too late!"

Lord Ruan's expression was solemn. Over the years, the Ruan family had been managing their business diligently, hoping that the family would unite and make the whole family more and more prosperous. However, they never expected to raise such a selfish and vicious fellow!

"Lord Ruan, it's good that we discovered it early. These kinds of things are often unavoidable."

Chu Junting was not surprised by this. Such things can happen in any family, and no matter how good the environment is, such dark seeds can still grow.

Because they can't have it, because they lack the ability, they can only hope to kill those who possess it, so that they can rightfully obtain everything they want.

Hearing Chu Junting's words, Lord Ruan sighed deeply, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, it's truly a misfortune for our family!"

Madam Ruan looked at Song Ruozhen and Song Yi'an in front of her. Song Yi'an was, of course, her daughter's sweetheart. He was excellent in both character and talent. Even Lord Ruan had praised him more than once.

Even though Song Yi'an is still young, he has already offered many useful suggestions in court. After a few more years, when he has gained more experience, he will definitely not be a simple person.

Nowadays, some people even remark that Song Yi'an now has the demeanor of his predecessor, the prime minister.

Of course, they only said these things in private; they couldn't say them openly, otherwise they would be harming Song Yi'an.

As for the Princess Consort of Chu, she saved her own daughter at the banquet, and the subsequent events proved her ability and competence.

As a woman herself, she greatly admired Song Ruozhen, and now that she had become the Princess Consort of Chu, she was no ordinary woman.

Madam Ruan sighed, "We will definitely prepare fine wine and food another day, and hope you will do us the honor of coming to our residence for a meal. The situation today is truly..."

"Absolutely, absolutely, we understand."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, but she knew in her heart that judging from the current attitude of the Ruan family, Ruan Yuanwu would definitely not have a good ending.

The Ruan family has very strict family rules and will never allow anyone to betray the family, let alone Ruan Yuanwu, who not only wanted to rob and kill, but also used extremely despicable methods.

They weren't members of the Ruan family, so naturally they couldn't know too much about these things.

"Lord Ruan, Madam Ruan, then we shall take our leave now," Song Yi'an said, bowing.

They've already learned a lot of things they shouldn't have known today, and now that the entire Ruan family is here, it's time for them to leave.

"Take care," Lord Ruan said very politely.

Before leaving, Chu Junting glanced at Ruan Lingfeng, who looked dejected and pained, and said, "Remember to rescue that girl, because of you, she has been trapped for more than two years."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Lingfeng seemed to finally snap out of his thoughts.

"Yes, I'm going to find the real Qianqian."

But as he excitedly stood up, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Ruan Yucheng was quick enough to catch him, preventing him from falling directly to the ground.

"How is this going?"

Madam Ruan was shocked. She knew something was wrong with Ruan Lingfeng from the moment she saw him. He, who was usually full of energy, looked extremely haggard today, as if he had lost all his vitality.

I initially thought it was a huge blow, but it seems the situation is more complex than just that.

Song Ruozhen stopped and took out a pill, handing it over.

"He had stayed in that room for too long, absorbing too much death energy, which depleted his life force. Coupled with the sudden blow, he couldn't bear it and fainted."

"Give him this pill; it will dispel most of the deathly aura. However, since he's been in that place for so long, it won't be easily removed completely."

"What should we do next?" Ruan Niantang asked anxiously.

“Once his condition stabilizes, let him stay at a temple or Buddhist hall for a while and listen to the chanting of sutras. His condition will gradually improve,” Song Ruozhen said.

Madam Ruan asked with some concern, "Won't his life be in danger?"

"It wasn't too late to find out, so there's no danger to your life. Don't worry," Song Ruozhen said.

The Ruan family members were relieved, but Ruan Yuanwu looked ashen-faced. He knew all too well what would happen if his plan were discovered.

However, the plan has remained undiscovered for so long, and Ruan Lingfeng never suspected anything amiss with Huang Qianqian. Who would have thought that he would be defeated by the Song family!
