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

Song Jingshen had just noticed his younger sister's meaningful look. Now that the person had been arrested, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"The reason why Xiang Hongbo was unable to have children later was partly because he had been injured, and partly because someone must have drugged him."

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. The first wife had given birth to three daughters, which proved that Xiang Hongbo was fertile. However, he later took eight concubines, but none of them became pregnant.

Some of these concubines were forcibly taken back by him, and naturally they would not be willing to accept it. The First Madam knew about this, but did not want to expose them.

Chu Yungui came to his senses. "So it was one of the concubines who poisoned her?"

"This is the first time I've ever seen the First Madam and the concubines have such a good relationship. They know the truth, but they don't expose either of them, just to watch the master make a fool of himself. It's truly an eye-opener!"

Gu Huan'er couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for Xiang Hongbo and Sun Miao'er in this backyard, it would be quite pleasant for everyone else to live together."

With Xiang Hongbo imprisoned, the people of Yangzhou were overjoyed and celebrated that the Prince had come to uphold justice.

The people who witnessed the whole story were overjoyed and spread the tale far and wide.

"Chunhua, you are so lucky! You were actually saved by the prince and he managed to eliminate the tyrant in one fell swoop!"

"Is this Your Highness traveling incognito? Our Yangzhou city is finally welcoming good days!"

"I heard that the Princess Consort of Chu wanted to visit Yangzhou City, and happened to witness Sun Dashan doing something bad. When she reported it to the authorities, she discovered that the Prefect was also in cahoots with her, and now they are all locked up in jail!"

Chu Junting began to thoroughly investigate the evil deeds Xiang Hongbo had committed over the years, including how much land he had seized and how many people he had wronged. He investigated everything thoroughly.

Upon closer investigation, it was discovered how many injustices had been committed in Yangzhou, and how many people had suffered injustices or even lost their lives as a result.

"You wouldn't believe it until you investigate! Xiang Hongbo's crimes are utterly unforgivable!"

From inside the room came Chu Yungui's voice, barely concealing his anger. Over the years, the evil deeds committed by Xiang Hongbo and Sun Dashan in their collusion were countless.

Song Ruozhen and Gu Huan'er exchanged glances. They had originally planned to visit Yangzhou, but now it seemed that they wouldn't be able to do so for the time being.

“Not only is my brother-in-law busy, but even His Highness Prince Yun was still reviewing files last night. When I delivered some snacks last night, I even caught him cursing while he was looking at them.”

Gu Huan'er found it funny as she spoke; the fact that these things could make Prince Yun so angry showed just how outrageous they were!

"Since we've bumped into each other, it must be fate. They have important business to attend to, but we can still wander around Yangzhou City."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. Although the situation was somewhat different from what she had expected, helping so many people was obviously more meaningful than sightseeing.

"They're busy with official duties, but we can wander around. There are plenty of scenic spots in Yangzhou, what do you say?"

Gu Huan'er and Chu Muyao nodded. They found it boring to stay in the government office all the time, so they naturally wanted to go out for a stroll.

"Where did my fourth brother go?" Song Ruozhen asked curiously.

Chu Muyao was also puzzled, "I saw him just now, I wonder where he went at this moment."

As the three of them walked out, they saw Song Jingshen talking to Chunhua.

Chunhua knelt down immediately, and Song Jingshen quickly helped her up.

Chu Muyao looked at this scene and a hint of unease flashed across her face.

“Young Master Song, if you help me bury my father, I will be yours from now on. I will repay this kindness no matter what.”

Chunhua looked earnest. She had sold herself into servitude to bury her father, and she was extremely grateful to Young Master Song for helping her bury him.

As Song Ruozhen and the other two approached, they overheard Chunhua's words and exchanged glances, realizing they had almost forgotten about Chunhua.

Song Jingshen was always meticulous in his work. After saving Chunhua, he remembered that her father's body was still on the street, so he gave her money to arrange for a burial.

But, does Chunhua plan to follow him from now on?

“Miss Chunhua, there’s no need for thanks. From now on, you are free to go wherever you want,” Song Jingshen said.

Over the years, he has traveled to many places and met many unfortunate people. He has encountered cases of people selling themselves or even burying their fathers, and he helps them whenever he can.

Hearing Song Jingshen's words, Chu Muyao glanced at her and smiled at Chunhua, saying:

“Miss Chunhua, since my brother and the others have come to Yangzhou, they are meant to help the suffering people. It is only right that they save you. You certainly don’t need to give anything in return.”

If this is truly an attempt to take advantage of your kindness and make you work like a slave, then that would be unacceptable!

Upon hearing this, Chunhua's delicate and fair face showed a hint of helplessness. "I... I just want to be a maidservant with you, young master. I have no other desires."

Her parents were both dead, leaving her all alone in the world, with no idea where to go or what to do...

She knew that Young Master Song was a good person, and only hoped to become a maidservant so that she could repay this kindness.

"A maid?" Chu Muyao couldn't help but look at Song Jingshen. "Aren't you surrounded by servants?"

Song Jingshen nodded subconsciously, "Indeed."

"I don't think your Song family is short of maids, so bringing them all the way back to the capital must be quite inconvenient," Chu Muyao asked tentatively.

Song Jingshen glanced at Chu Muyao and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Seeing that Song Jingshen didn't respond, as if she were meddling in his business, Chu Muyao couldn't help but feel annoyed. Wasn't she trying to help him solve his problem? Or did this guy just enjoy being bothered by girls?

"up to you!"

Having said that, Chu Muyao, too lazy to say anything more, turned around and walked out the door.

Song Jingshen looked puzzled. Had this girl eaten firecrackers today?

Song Ruozhen and Gu Huan'er exchanged a knowing glance and smiled knowingly.

They found it strange when Chu Muyao pulled Song Jingshen onto the ship before, and now seeing Muyao like this, how could they not understand?

This is clearly jealousy!

Song Ruozhen looked at Song Jingshen with a smile, "Fourth Brother, what do you plan to do?"

"When I was doing business in Yangzhou, I got to know a few merchant families. Chunhua is a good girl, and she is also very hardworking. I can go to their mansion as a maid and ask them to take good care of me."

In a year or two, I'll find her a suitable husband, and I'll leave her some money as a dowry. It'll be a way of accumulating good karma.”

Song Jingshen had thought this through beforehand. Chunhua was all alone and helpless, and being a young woman, she had even sold her house to pay for her father's medical treatment. With nowhere to stay, this was the only way for her to find work.

Song Ruozhen understood; she knew that her fourth brother always thought things through thoroughly, and this was indeed the best solution for Chunhua.

"Thank you, sir."

Chunhua knelt down gratefully and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, princess. I will work hard, but I absolutely refuse the money. I will always remember your great kindness!"
