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

Song Yi'an gave Gu Ruyan a reassuring look, indicating that he knew what he was doing and there was no need to worry.

Grand Tutor Ruan turned his gaze to Song Yi'an. He was no stranger to Song Yi'an, as they were both officials in the court. He had met Song Yi'an more than once during this period and knew of his intelligence and talent.

"Look at it."

Grand Tutor Ruan handed over the letter.

Seeing Grand Tutor Ruan's actions, Ruan Niantang's parents couldn't help but worry, as every word written there expressed his affection and admiration for Ling Yuchen.

Given Song Yi'an's status, if she were to take these things to heart, it's hard to guarantee that she wouldn't have other ideas.

"If he really believed it, would he really marry Nian Tang?"

Grand Tutor Ruan remained calm. Having experienced the ups and downs of officialdom over the years, he had seen too many things to mention, and this situation was nothing more than a minor matter to him.

Madam Ruan thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. She didn't know who was trying to harm Nian Tang and ruin the marriage. She even suspected that the Ling family was deliberately framing her, but since there was no evidence at the moment, she couldn't take anything seriously.

Ruan Niantang had already arrived at her parents' side. Her delicate and pretty face was filled with anxiety, and her bright eyes were fixed on Song Yi'an, not wanting to miss any of his expressions.

I was afraid to see disgust on his face.

She gripped the handkerchief tightly, her heart pounding.

“I am not familiar with Miss Ruan’s handwriting, but I think it should not be from Miss Ruan’s hand.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuchen retorted sarcastically, "You don't even recognize Miss Ruan's handwriting, yet you openly claim that this wasn't written by her. Isn't that just nonsense?"

The Second Young Master Song is renowned, and everyone praises your intelligence and talent, saying that you are no ordinary person.

But these words are simply ridiculous.

Everyone nodded in agreement, not understanding why Song Yi'an would say such a thing. Making a judgment on this matter without any evidence was undoubtedly too irrational.

However, a hint of interest appeared in Grand Tutor Ruan's eyes. "What do you mean by that?"

"Grand Tutor, please wait a moment. There is something I would like to ask Young Master Ling first."

Song Yi'an humbly cupped her hands in greeting before turning to Ling Yuchen. "Young Master Ling, you said this letter was written to you by Miss Ruan, and that you met her at the Jade Mountain Gathering. When did you receive this letter?"

"I received this letter yesterday. It was because of this letter that I specifically asked my aunt to come with me to propose marriage!"

Ling Yuchen answered without hesitation, but his heart was filled with confusion. He couldn't understand why Ling Yuchen would ask this out of the blue.

"That's right, this letter was definitely not written by Miss Ruan."

Song Yi'an smiled slightly and said, "About ten days ago, when I came to look for the eldest son of the Ruan family, I happened to run into Miss Ruan."

She said she wanted to practice calligraphy and asked if I had any recommendations for paper. I recommended a newly arrived paper from Mobaoge, which I said was perfect for writing and had a flower pattern for the signature, making it very suitable for a young lady.

Ruan Niantang snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Yes, ever since I bought the fallen flower paper, I've been using it and haven't used any of the old paper at all."

"This wasn't written by me at all! I don't know who forged my handwriting!"

As Ruan Niantang spoke, she looked at her grandfather and father. It was clear that someone was deliberately framing her!

“Nian Tang invited us to a banquet a couple of days ago. The signature had a picture of falling flowers on it. We’ve all seen it!”

"Yes, I thought the paper was pretty at the time, and I even asked Nian Tang about it."

If Young Master Ling is truly Nian Tang's beloved, he would surely choose the best design. Why would he use the most beautiful paper for everyone else, but use ordinary paper only when writing to his beloved?

Ruan Niantang's friends realized something and quickly testified, with some even showing the letters they had received.

Madam Ruan took the paper and compared it with the pen, and remembered that she had indeed seen Nian Tang happily bring back some paper and pens a few days ago. At the time, she did not know what the girl was happy about. So that's what happened.

Ling Yuchen's expression changed. "Impossible. This letter was written to me by Miss Ruan. Otherwise, why would I fabricate such a thing when I have no grudge against Miss Ruan?"

“Then you’ll have to ask Young Master Ling.” Song Yi’an looked at him coldly with a distant gaze.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange, and everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do...

Just then, a sound came from behind, and a servant rushed over, saying:

"Master, the eldest son caught a suspicious person in Miss's room and even found Miss's personal seal on the person!"

Grand Tutor Ruan's eyes narrowed. "Go and take a look!"

At this moment, everyone forgot about tasting the food and flocked curiously to the backyard.

"Do you think this is a frame-up? Why would someone deliberately orchestrate this to ruin Miss Ruan's reputation?"

"It is indeed strange. It's impossible that Young Master Ling fell in love with Miss Ruan at first sight, but then knew that she already had someone she liked, so he deliberately came up with this plan to forcibly take her away, right?"

Opinions vary, but people subconsciously believe that Ruan Niantang is not that kind of person.

After all these years, Ruan Niantang has never done anything wrong.

"Don't be nervous. Now that we've caught this person, we can definitely find the mastermind by following the clues."

Seeing Ruan Niantang's pale face and disoriented appearance, Song Ruozhen took her hand and comforted her:

“Your elder brother reacted quickly. I had Bai Zhi lie in wait in the backyard earlier, and now that we’ve caught him red-handed, he’ll definitely be able to clear your name.”

Ruan Niantang nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Ruozhen, thank you for believing in me."

"Don't be silly, it's not just me, our whole family believes in you."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, understanding Ruan Niantang's worries. It concerned her reputation, and any girl would find it hard to bear. If something happened, her life would be completely over.

In the backyard, Ruan Yucheng and Bai Zhi caught the suspicious person.

"The King of Chu and the Queen of Chu are truly a match made in heaven; they even thought of this!"

Ruan Yucheng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He had only remembered this matter after being reminded by the King of Chu, and had rushed over immediately.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi also arrived when they rushed over. After chatting, they discovered that they had the same purpose.

Bai Zhi smiled, "Now that we've finally caught them, we'll make sure Miss Ruan isn't framed."

After Grand Tutor Ruan and his entourage arrived, Ruan Yucheng removed the woman's mask. When everyone saw her face clearly, they were all stunned.

"It's Caiwei!"

"Isn't Caiwei from the second wife's courtyard? Could this be a deliberate setup by the second wife to frame her?"

The servants of Grand Tutor Ruan's mansion were shocked to see the people who had been arrested. Caiwei was the maid of the second wife. Today, she sneaked into Ruan Niantang's room in such a situation, clutching her private seal. Wasn't that suspicious?
