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

The second master of the Ruan family quickly wrote a letter of divorce, and the second wife was driven away. Madam Ruan took Caiwei's indenture and handed it over to a slave trader to be sold.

A girl like that can no longer stay in the manor.

Even if she was given to a slave trader and her life was spared, she would never find a good family to take her in if she did such a thing in her master's household. She would only be able to do hard labor.

"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself in front of everyone today. Let's go eat!"

The old man of the Ruan family looked apologetic and invited everyone to have a meal, and then instructed the servants to prepare some more food.

Although this incident caused such a stir, Nian Tang's reputation remains unharmed, which is a good outcome.

Madam Ling took Ling Yuchen and left immediately. After such an incident, they had no face to stay any longer.

As the banquet ended and the guests departed, the Song family members stayed until the very end, as instructed by the Ruan family.

"Madam Song, I'm so sorry to have made you laugh today. I thought that once Yuan Wu was driven out, the matter would be resolved."

I never imagined that the second wife would hate us so much and do something like this.

Madam Ruan looked apologetic. On such a joyous day, who would have thought that something like this would happen?

"Madam Ruan need not worry. No one wants this to happen. It can only be said that they have schemed and plotted to sabotage us."

Although today's events have caused quite a stir, it's a good thing that the cancer has been brought to its knees.

Gu Ruyan comforted Madam Ruan, saying that every family has its troubles, and she knew all too well how terrible things had been with the Liu family.

Madam Ruan's eyes reddened, and she became angrier the more she thought about it. "Over the years, we have never mistreated the second branch of the family. Even if there were some things that made us unhappy, the eldest brother always thought of them as his own brothers and told us not to hold it against them."

I've always been very tolerant of them, but I never expected them to blame us instead!

"Calm down. Now that the second wife has been divorced, the second branch of the family should be quiet now," Gu Ruyan said.

Madam Ruan nodded, suppressing her emotions, and said, "I specifically asked you to stay here today to discuss Nian Tang and Yi An's marriage."

Nian Tang has always been well-behaved and has never done anything out of line. What happened today was all a deliberate frame-up; I hope you won't take it to heart.

Madam Ruan looked at Ruan Niantang beside her, her small face showing worry. Even though the misunderstanding had been cleared up today, it was still unpleasant to say, so it was normal for her to be worried.

It was precisely because of this that she wanted to take this opportunity to clarify things with the Song family today.

Let's be frank and speak openly, so they won't keep guessing.

Gu Ruyan glanced at Song Yi'an, seeing that his eyes were gentle and his expression showed no sign of distress, and then said:

"We all know Miss Ruan's character. We have never doubted her from beginning to end. It's just a coincidence that we met today."

I originally planned to have a good talk with you today, and if things went well, we could find an auspicious day to finalize the marriage of our two children. I never expected to run into something like this.

If Madam Ruan doesn't mind, why don't we have a proper discussion about this matter?

Gu Ruyan smiled broadly, understanding Madam Ruan's concerns. In any case, she liked Nian Tang very much, and since the matter was settled today, the Ruan family would undoubtedly be even happier and more satisfied with them.

"Yi'an is not young anymore, and you probably know what happened before. As his mother, I am hoping that he can get married as soon as possible."

Now that he has passed the imperial examinations and become an official, it's time for him to get married.

Upon hearing Gu Ruyan's words, Madam Ruan felt much more at ease.

She knew her daughter had good taste; not only had she chosen a good husband, but her mother-in-law was also excellent.

She had specifically inquired beforehand and learned that Gu Ruyan was gentle and kind, and that after Luo Qingyin married into the family, she treated her like her own daughter and never mistreated her daughter-in-law.

Even though there were rumors that Luo Qingyin couldn't have children, Gu Ruyan didn't care. Now that she's pregnant, the Song family treats her very well. Presumably, Nian Tang will also live a good life after marrying into the family.

"Mrs. Song is such a straightforward person. I also think that the two children are a perfect match."

Madam Ruan was overjoyed and took Gu Ruyan's hand to discuss things, looking just like two good sisters.

Song Ruozhen, Song Zhiyu, and Song Jingshen exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of joy for Song Yi'an.

This marriage was truly a match that everyone was happy with.

Seeing their wives chatting happily, Song Lin and Ruan Xingzhou smiled and walked into the courtyard together.

"General Song, you've had a good laugh at us today. None of us expected the second wife to cause such a mess."

Ruan Xingzhou's expression was complicated. He had thought that by driving Ruan Yuanwu out, the second branch of the family would know what was going on.

Who would have thought that the second wife's family was truly treacherous and had set their sights on Nian Tang again? Today is truly dangerous.

"I heard from Yu Cheng that he was able to capture Caiwei today thanks to the King of Chu and the Queen. It was because they remembered that this would happen that he was able to capture Caiwei."

Otherwise, even if we know Nian Tang is innocent, without evidence, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Upon hearing that it was his own daughter's idea, Song Lin's face showed a hint of pride.

His daughter is so smart! And his son-in-law is too!

"This proves that Miss Ruan is a blessed person, so you don't need to worry."

Song Lin smiled, then saw Ruan Xingzhou's worried face and said, "Our two families are about to get married, and we'll be family from now on. You and I have always had a good relationship, so I'll be frank with you."

“Speak freely,” Ruan Xingzhou quickly replied.

"You're a smart man, you must know what's really going on with the second wife."

Some things need to be cut off decisively; if you keep holding onto them, it might harm your own children.

Song Lin thought about what had happened to the Ruan family recently: first, Ruan Lingfeng almost lost his life, and then Ruan Niantang almost lost her reputation.

The second wife's actions didn't seem like venting her anger; they were aimed at completely destroying the person!

If we continue to raise them, the losses would be unimaginable should they succeed in the future.

Ruan Xingzhou's eyes were deep. "I know you consider me one of your own, that's why you said those things. I understand."

As parents, we naturally have to take good care of our children. We can't let our own problems drag them down. This grudge must be settled.

Upon hearing Ruan Xingzhou's words, Song Lin knew that he already had a plan in mind.

Leaving such a malignant tumor unchecked will lead to endless troubles. Today, in front of everyone, we cannot abandon our own brother.

However, the behavior of someone who indulges his wife and children in such heinous acts, and then abandons them without hesitation when the truth comes out, is undoubtedly chilling.

Ruan Xingzhou smiled again. "It's not worth wasting time on these people. Let's talk about the children's marriage first!"

From now on, we'll be in-laws!
