Song Ruozhen and Song Yi'an were not surprised when they learned of Huang Qianqian's choice.

Even if she really liked Ruan Lingfeng back then, so much time has passed now, and besides, the man she loves is marrying her own sister.

It's understandable that he was deceived, but to say that he has no lingering resentment is obviously impossible; no one could truly be indifferent to it.

"And how does your second brother feel right now..."

Song Ruozhen lowered her voice. She actually thought Ruan Lingfeng was quite foolish, not noticing anything amiss for so long, and almost losing his life because of it.

Now he knows that the girl he truly loves is someone else, but she has been waiting for so long and is already heartbroken. I wonder if this stubborn guy can ever understand this.

Ruan Lingfeng guessed what Song Ruozhen was thinking and said with a smile, "I'm fine now. This was originally my fault."

I originally wanted to repay her for saving my life and planned to treat her well after we got married, but I never thought I would be so stupid that I didn't even recognize my savior.

It's understandable that she's unhappy, and it's also understandable that she doesn't want to accept me.

“Young Master Ruan, it’s good that you understand. Miss Huang has had a really tough time these past two years,” Song Yanzhou said.

Ruan Lingfeng nodded, "In a way, I've repaid kindness with enmity, but Qianqian is kind-hearted and said she doesn't blame me."

All I want to do now is live my life well and help her as much as I can, without disrupting her life.

"After this incident, I've really come to a realization. I don't know if Qianqian will ever truly forgive me in the future."

Even if she doesn't forgive me, it's okay. Even if I'm just her older brother, as long as I can help her when she needs me, that's enough.

Seeing that Ruan Lingfeng had figured everything out, everyone nodded in agreement. Although they felt sorry for what had happened before, they had to admit that this was the best possible outcome.

“We have come here today not only to express our gratitude, but also because my mother is hosting a banquet at home tomorrow and would like to invite you to attend.”

Ruan Niantang smiled gently, thinking about what her mother had said that morning, and subconsciously looked at Song Yi'an.

The mother said that she was not young anymore, and now that she had someone she liked and that the other person did not have a marriage partner, she wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Madam Song.

If there's really a possibility between them, then we should have a result by tomorrow.

"Yes, this time, because of my matter, quite a joke has been made. Yuanwu from the second branch of the family was also kicked out. Although family scandals should not be aired in public, he must have taken the opportunity to spread rumors and cause trouble outside."

Many people are talking about my situation these days, and my father says that rather than hiding it and causing unnecessary speculation, it's better to be open and honest.

Ruan Lingfeng glanced at his younger sister, understanding his mother's intentions. However, things were still unclear, and since his own situation needed to be clarified, it was the perfect opportunity.

When Luo Qingyin heard that Ruan Lingfeng had almost been murdered by his second brother for money, she was terrified. However, she never expected that after leaving the Ruan family, this man would still spread rumors everywhere.

"It was right of you to drive that bad apple out, but with his personality, he's bound to cause more trouble in the future."

Ruan Lingfeng frowned slightly, also feeling that Ruan Yuanwu was a menace, but since they were brothers after all, he couldn't bring himself to kill him.

Taking this opportunity to sever ties directly would prevent being entangled with them again in the future.

When Song Ruozhen returned to the Prince's Mansion, she learned that Chu Junting was busy in the study, so she went back to her room first.

After bathing and changing, she picked up a medical book and started reading. As the night grew deeper and Chu Junting still hadn't returned, she went to the study.

Standing outside the study, I watched as his tall, imposing figure cast a shadow in the candlelight.

She gently pushed open the door and saw Chu Junting, who was writing, stop and look up at her.

His handsome face, which even had a touch of sharpness, appeared gentle and warm in the candlelight.

Why didn't you rest first?

Chu Junting put down his pen, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice both magnetic and gentle.

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly and walked up to him. "It's getting late. I think you should rest too. You're busy with court affairs all day long, so you should take care of your health."

The two hadn't lived together before, and she knew Chu Junting was busy, but she didn't know exactly how busy he was.

It wasn't until after they got married, when she saw him handling the mountain of official business, that she realized that during the days when he was often by her side, he probably didn't get to sleep until very late every day.

Seeing the worry in the woman's clear eyes, Chu Junting smiled and slowly reached out his hand.

Song Ruozhen looked at his actions with a puzzled expression. Although she didn't understand, she still extended her hand.

The next moment, Chu Junting suddenly picked her up.

She gasped instinctively, but met Chu Junting's smiling, starry eyes. "It's my fault for making Madam worry about my health."

Seeing the man carry her away, Song Ruozhen wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, "Where are we going?"

Chu Junting lowered his head slightly, his thin lips close to her ear, "How about I take my wife to experience my body?"

Song Ruozhen: "???"

……

The following day, the Ruan family held a banquet.

Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting went together and bumped into the Song family members outside the gate.

Madam Ruan was smiling broadly as she held Gu Ruyan's hand for a long time, her words revealing their closeness.

"We are truly grateful to the King and Queen of Chu this time. Otherwise, my son would probably be dead. We will never forget this life-saving grace!"

Thinking of Ruan Lingfeng's weak appearance after his return, and how even the doctor couldn't help but sigh when he saw him, Madam Ruan felt indescribably sad.

Fortunately, things have returned to normal now. Without that troublemaker, the mansion has become much more peaceful.

"Madam Ruan, you're too kind. It's all fate!"

Gu Ruyan had originally planned to meet Madam Ruan today. She hadn't had much interaction with Madam Ruan before and wasn't sure what to do. But after meeting her, she immediately felt relieved.

"Ruozhen, come inside and sit down."

Ruan Niantang walked to Song Ruozhen's side and said with a smile, "I have a few girlfriends over there. If you'd like, you can meet them."

Song Ruozhen subconsciously looked at Chu Junting and saw him nod. Several familiar faces were also around him. She then followed Ruan Niantang into the courtyard.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, Prince Xiao got so angry that he divorced Jiang Qinglan. This caused quite a stir, and even the Jiang family had to go there in the end."

“I live not far from the Xiao Prince’s mansion, and I happened to see it. Jiang Qinglan’s face was swollen from being slapped, and she was crying and sobbing. Later, she was like a madwoman.”
