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

As Song Ruozhen finished speaking, disbelief was evident in the eyes of everyone present.

"Princess Consort of Chu, how dare you spout such nonsense in front of so many people!"

Is it possible that just because Qinglan offended you, you want to prevent her from having any children in the future?

"It's terrifying that the King of Chu would tolerate such behavior from you!"

Princess Muyun's face turned ashen. She had already realized that Song Ruozhen was no pushover. Since arriving, Song Ruozhen had been neither humble nor arrogant, showing her no respect whatsoever.

To say such things in front of so many people is simply outrageous!

Jiang Qinglan was also dumbfounded. She had indeed deliberately provoked Song Ruozhen in order to make her make a mistake so that she could find a handle to use against her. But who would have thought that this woman would not play by the rules at all?

If someone else had said these words, she wouldn't have been afraid. But thinking about Song Ruozhen's strange methods, what if she really made it impossible for her to have children?

Jiang Luxue was even more horrified; she had never seen such a bold person before!

Even if these words were spoken behind someone's back, one would worry about them being overheard, let alone uttering them directly like she did. Doesn't she worry about being blamed?

However, Song Ruozhen was not afraid at all in the face of Princess Muyun's wrath.

Princess Muyun, to put it nicely, is an elder, and it's only right to show her some respect. But since she's here to cause trouble, if she still acts all high and mighty, she's underestimating herself.

"Princess Consort Muyun, I heard you haven't been feeling well lately and have been resting at home. I didn't expect you to start lecturing your juniors again as soon as you stepped out today."

Suddenly, Princess Lu Minhui of Anlan walked over, her face smiling but her voice very cold.

"If you ask me, your health is not good to begin with, so you should stay at home and rest more. As for the affairs of the younger generation, you should not worry about them, so as not to tire yourself out and do not lose anything!"

Song Ruozhen turned her gaze and met Lu Minhui's calm and smiling eyes, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

"Ruozhen, this must be your first time meeting Princess Muyun, right?"

It's all my fault for being late today; otherwise, it would have been me, your aunt, who brought you to meet us.

As she spoke, Lu Minhui took Song Ruozhen's hand and walked to an empty seat to the side. She sat down calmly, but felt a surge of displeasure in her heart.

What kind of airs is this Princess Muyun putting on?

While she wasn't here, they even started bullying Ruozhen?

Everyone else was sitting, but Ruozhen was made to stand. What a shameless person!

Princess Muyun was surprised by Lu Minhui's sudden arrival, especially since her words were laced with barbs, clearly implying that Lu Minhui was meddling in other people's business!

"It's good that Princess Anlan has arrived. You must have heard what Princess Chu said earlier, right?"

She actually threatened Qinglan in front of so many of us, saying she would make it impossible for her to have children!

"The Princess Consort of Chu is so unruly; she must be severely punished. Surely the Princess Consort of Anlan wouldn't let her run wild like this?"

Princess Muyun could not hide her anger. Even if Princess Anlan came, Song Ruozhen would definitely be punished for her outrageous remarks today!

Song Ruozhen hadn't expected Princess Anlan to come. Her expression was slightly complicated. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Minhui patted her hand, signaling her to calm down, and lowered her voice to say:

"No wonder Jun Ting urged me to come over as soon as she saw me. As a junior, you contradicted her, so she will definitely use this as an excuse to hand it over to me."

The next moment, Lu Minhui slowly straightened her sleeves, raised her head and said:

"I know Ruozhen's personality best. She has always been gentle and kind and doesn't like to argue with others."

The fact that she said such things today shows she was driven to desperation. I wonder what you sisters said to make her so angry?

Lu Minhui looked surprised. "Tell me about it. My sister, the Empress, specifically instructed me to take good care of Ruozhen and not let her be bullied."

No matter what happened, I have to go back and tell my sister.

Upon hearing this, the other ladies, who had been watching the show with amusement, felt extremely uneasy, even though they hadn't done anything!

If Lu Minhui tells the Empress about this, will she think they were also involved?

"Why is Your Majesty so concerned about Princess Consort of Chu?"

I had heard that the Empress didn't like her at all, which was why the marriage was delayed again and again until finally the Prince of Chu rendered meritorious service and petitioned the Emperor to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage.

"You don't know this, Her Majesty the Empress did not like it at first because she had broken off the engagement, but later the rift was cleared up."

It is said that Consort Zhong originally intended to give the Peony Fairy to the Empress, but the Princess of Chu felt it was inappropriate, so the Empress did not use it.

"If you had such a capable daughter-in-law, wouldn't you like her?"

The ladies present were all relatives of the emperor, and even if the situation in the palace was very tense, they would still have some knowledge of what was happening.

If it were them, they would definitely cherish such a capable daughter-in-law and wouldn't dislike her.

Princess Muyun saw that Lu Minhui immediately brought up the Empress, which was clearly a threat to her!

"Princess Anlan, are you implying that we bullied her?"

Lu Minhui raised an eyebrow. "Otherwise what?"

Princess Muyun's face turned ashen, and Lu Minhui actually agreed!

"I only heard that the Princess Consort of Chu was skilled in medicine, so I thought I would ask her to take a look at Lu Xue. Who would have thought she would be so temperamental?"

However, seeing Princess Anlan's protective stance now, I understand the reason. But if you continue to indulge her like this... I'm afraid it will cause a huge mess in the future!

Upon hearing this, Lu Minhui calmly turned to look at Song Ruozhen, "Is that so?"

“Aunt, a few days ago, Consort Xiao insulted me on the street, and the Prince saw it and ordered her to be slapped.”

She admitted her mistake at the time, and I thought the matter would be over. But when we met today, Consort Xiao kept bringing it up, saying that I was unwilling to let her go, and that this had created a rift between us.

I really didn't understand why. After explaining myself, they first said that my medical skills were poor, and then cursed my sister-in-law so that she would never be able to have children.

This is the thing a woman should avoid most after marriage. My sister-in-law had no grudge against them; she was implicated because of me. I couldn't swallow my anger, which is why I said what I just said.

Lu Minhui knew exactly what was going on as soon as she heard it. Putting everything else aside, she truly believed in Song Ruozhen.

After all, if I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't bother arguing with these women in the backyard!

"I had only heard about the Xiao Prince's mansion before, and I thought Consort Xiao was someone special. But after meeting her today, I'm sure she's no pushover!" Lu Minhui said calmly.

Jiang Qinglan knew that Lu Minhui had come to support Song Ruozhen, but she didn't expect that the two of them spoke in exactly the same tone!

There was absolutely no attempt to conceal anything!

One person cursed her for being unable to have children, while the other said she was no pushover. What's the difference between that and pointing fingers and cursing at her?

“Princess Anlan, I did not…” Jiang Qinglan lowered her head sadly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

However, Lu Minhui felt disgusted at the sight of such behavior. "It's really the behavior of a concubine who can't stand up to scrutiny. She can't even say a complete sentence and all she can do is cry!"

Jiang Qinglan's eyes widened. "???"
