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

Chu Yichuan felt a surge of displeasure at Song Yanzhou's aloof and stubborn attitude.

This guy has absolutely no sense of propriety. Does he really have to embarrass him in a situation like this?

"Your Majesty, Consort Xiao was in the wrong today, so she should apologize quickly."

Chu Junting's voice was cold, yet it carried a hint of dominance. "My sister-in-law is pregnant and already weak. She should be resting properly, but she fainted on the spot from anger. As the eldest prince, you should set a good example."

Chu Yichuan turned his head and met Chu Junting's indifferent eyes. His heart sank. He hadn't expected that his third brother would have a rift with him because of this.

"It's all my fault, I apologize."

Jiang Qinglan, her eyes red and her face full of guilt, knelt down directly in front of Luo Qingyin.

“Young Madam Song, I really didn’t mean it. I just wanted to ask Miss Song to take a look at my sister. I heard that she has excellent medical skills and happened to mention you. I definitely didn’t mean to say anything bad about you.”

It's all my fault, can you forgive me this time? I promise I'll be more careful from now on and never talk nonsense again.

Luo Qingyin touched her abdomen with both hands, looking at the pitiful Jiang Qinglan in front of her. She, who was usually very soft-hearted, felt no sympathy at this moment.

On the contrary, there was only disgust.

"No matter how well Consort Xiao meant, she shouldn't have made a joke about someone else's sad story."

If I'm not pregnant now, or if I don't get pregnant in the near future, I'm afraid I'll be driven to death by these rumors.

Luo Qingyin's voice was clear and calm, deliberate yet neither humble nor arrogant.

“My parents-in-law and husband treat me very well, and they won’t blame me for this. If Consort Xiao had spoken of another strict person from her husband’s family today, these words would have made things very difficult for her in her husband’s family, adding insult to injury!”

Many of the women present felt a deep sense of empathy upon hearing this.

It is not easy for a woman to get married, and not being able to conceive is an even bigger problem. Once such a rumor is spread, it is really the end for her!

Jiang Qinglan's face stiffened. She hadn't expected Luo Qingyin to hold onto this matter so tightly. It was just a small thing, but it had been blown out of proportion to this extent!

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Jiang Qinglan suppressed her anger, thinking that the Song family members were probably just trying to vent their anger for Song Ruozhen.

She'll remember this grudge!

Yan Qingyu took in Jiang Qinglan's expression. She had seen too many people over the years and knew all too well the tricks of the inner court. Consort Xiao was just the most common trick used by concubines.

She appears gentle and timid, but is actually as ruthless as a snake.

She knew all too well that rather than waiting for Jiang Qinglan to cause trouble for her daughter and son-in-law, it would be better for them to file a complaint first, which would also be good for Ruozhen...

Princess Anlan watched this scene quietly without saying anything more. After all, today was the auspicious day of Prince Che's wedding, and it was not advisable to make a big fuss.

However, King Xiao made a foolish mistake today, and even if they do nothing, King Xiao is already in trouble.

She should go tell her sister first.

Prince Che arrived late and, upon learning the news, hurriedly apologized to Song Yanzhou.

"I am truly sorry for today. It was my poor hospitality that led to this situation."

“How can this be blamed on Your Highness? It is our fault that such a thing happened. We hope Your Highness will not blame us,” Song Yanzhou said.

Prince Che waved his hand repeatedly, not only not caring, but also ordering someone to bring tonics to Luo Qingyin so that she could take good care of herself during her pregnancy.

Song Ruozhen saw this scene and a playful look flashed in her eyes. People are in high spirits when they are happy. Prince Che looks like he is exceptionally happy today.

Aside from the marriage, Prince Che must be quite pleased to see such a disturbance at Prince Xiao's residence today.

"Jun Ting, I also want to go back."

Song Ruozhen turned her head. Her sister-in-law had just become pregnant. She had been in poor health before, but had improved after recuperation. However, she had been upset today, so she still had to go back and give her some instructions and write a prescription to help with the pregnancy.

“Let’s go together.” Chu Junting’s lips curled up slightly as he took her hand and helped her into the carriage.

On the carriage.

"I heard from my aunt that you sent her to find me."

Song Ruozhen spoke softly, looking at the handsome face beside her. It seemed that his expression was always gentle when he was with her.

"If my aunt hadn't come today, things would have been even more complicated. But seeing what happened today, I think I really understand my aunt's personality now."

When she first met her aunt at the banquet, she keenly sensed her aunt's dislike for her. However, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, her aunt quickly changed her attitude.

Upon meeting her today, she directly perceived her aunt's strong sense of likes and dislikes.

readily!

Chu Junting let out a low laugh, "My aunt has always been like this. Since Prince Muyun's position in the court is not as high as Prince Anlan's, she naturally has no need to listen to Princess Muyun's opinions."

"On such an occasion, we are both juniors, so it wouldn't be convenient for me to come forward. It would be best if my aunt could do it."

Song Ruozhen understood; it turned out that Chu Junting had gone to get reinforcements immediately after she left.

It has to be said that this is indeed the best solution. Looking at Princess Muyun's ashen face, I felt a surge of satisfaction!

"This matter will not be easily resolved. I think your mother is very angry."

Song Ruozhen played with the ring on her hand, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "Auntie usually doesn't fight or compete, and she doesn't like to argue with others, but she cares most about her children, especially her eldest sister-in-law."

My sister-in-law has suffered a lot over the years. My aunt has always felt that she shouldn't have arranged the marriage between my sister-in-law and my brother. Now that my sister-in-law's health has finally improved and her mood has returned, this kind of thing has happened...

She couldn't swallow this insult.

At this point, she suddenly grabbed Chu Junting's hand and said, "Jiang Qinglan said some harsh things today, but almost all the women around were still sitting there. How did the news reach your ears so quickly, sister-in-law?"

Her argument with Jiang Qinglan was bound to spread, but the fact that her sister-in-law heard about it so quickly suggests that someone deliberately spread the message.

Chu Junting's dark eyes showed no surprise. He said unhurriedly, "There has always been infighting in the court. Over the years, my eldest brother has never made any major mistakes, nor has anyone been able to find any fault with him."

After such an incident, naturally some people would love to seize the opportunity to ensure he never recovers.

Luo Qingyin only fainted today. If Luo Qingyin loses her child, her health is already poor, and once she miscarries, she may not have the opportunity to have children again.

At that time, both the Song family and the Duke of Luo's mansion would be considered enemies of Prince Xiao, not to mention the Gu family.

Seeing Chu Junting's expression, Song Ruozhen quickly connected the dots and her heart tightened.

"No, I have to have someone take good care of my sister-in-law. The child absolutely cannot be harmed!"
