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

On this day, the Song family left the Ruan family happily.

"Although what happened today was dangerous, I think it may also be a good thing."

Gu Ruyan smiled and looked at Song Yi'an, "The second branch of the Ruan family has been causing trouble for quite some time now. Let's take this opportunity to let everyone know the true colors of the second branch."

Even if any trouble arises later, everyone will know it's the second wife's fault, which is better than having problems after you get married.

In ordinary wealthy families, the infighting is mostly about some interests or punishing the other party. It is extremely rare to see such a case that can easily lead to death and ruin a person's life.

The methods used are so insidious that they are truly chilling. If this is not resolved as soon as possible, who knows what trouble might ensue in the future.

"Everyone has seen what happened today, and there are witnesses and physical evidence, so there's nothing to worry about."

Song Yi'an nodded, her eyes filled with gratitude, "Thank you for taking care of me today, Father and Mother."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruyan and Song Lin both smiled. "After you get married, you will truly have a family. When Nian Tang joins your family, remember to treat her well!"

"I will."

Thinking about his upcoming marriage, Song Yi'an felt a pang of embarrassment on his fair and gentle face, but he was very happy about the marriage.

“Nian Tang is such a good girl. She is excellent in terms of birth, character, and appearance. Madam Ruan is also a kind and virtuous person. Her daughter is even better.”

Gu Ruyan had inquired about Ruan Niantang beforehand and was extremely satisfied with her. Moreover, she could tell from the banquet her family had hosted that the girl was full of ambition.

After Yi An was injured once, many people came to introduce him to potential marriage partners, but he never paid any attention to them.

However, no one knows a son better than his mother. From the time Nian Tang came to Yi An for help several times, he never objected. Later, whenever Nian Tang's matter was mentioned, Yi An would subconsciously stop in his tracks, and she understood.

The next instant, Gu Ruyan's gaze turned to Song Zhiyu and Song Jingshen.

The two, who had been smiling and waiting for their second brother's wedding, lost their smiles the moment their eyes met.

Without their second brother standing in front, the pressure fell on them!

“Zhiyu, Jingshen, you two are not young anymore. Now that Yian’s marriage is settled, you should get married soon. You two need to hurry up and not keep delaying.” Gu Ruyan said seriously.

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle, her gaze falling on Song Jingshen.

Third Brother has indeed not found a girl he likes yet, as if he hasn't figured it out yet, but Fourth Brother... I wonder how things are going with Mu Yao?

Mu Yao's previous reaction didn't seem like she had no feelings for Fourth Brother.

……

The banquet held at the Ruan family that day was extremely splendid, and everyone learned that Song Yi'an and Ruan Niantang were about to get engaged.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but praise the two as a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Ling Yuchen also became famous. Originally, not many people in the entire capital knew him after his return, but now he has become famous overnight, and almost everyone knows him.

A fool, manipulated by the second wife of the Ruan family, actually believed the letter that the second wife had someone forge and actually asked to marry Ruan Niantang in front of so many people, making a huge joke of himself.

"Damn it, the Ruan family got into trouble themselves, why should they use me?"

Ling Yuchen was furious. When he first saw Ruan Niantang, he only thought that the girl was very beautiful and came from a good family.

If he could marry Ruan Niantang from the Grand Tutor's mansion, it would undoubtedly be a great help to him.

In the past, he had a low status in the Ruan family. With the eldest son's family around, it was extremely difficult for him to stand out.

Who would have thought that after losing his son, the eldest son's status in the Ling family rose dramatically, and that's when he started to plan everything. But he made a mistake right from the start and ended up making such a fool of himself!

“Yu Chen, I believed you, that’s why I went with you to propose marriage. Now that things have turned out like this, you should reflect on your actions.”

As soon as Madam Ling entered Ling Yuchen's courtyard, she heard the sound of things being smashed inside.

Upon hearing this voice, Ling Yuchen, who was originally furious, immediately stopped what he was doing and his expression became exceptionally docile.

"Auntie, it's my fault."

Madam Ling nodded, "This matter cannot be entirely blamed on you. No one expected that the second branch of the Ruan family would set up such a complete trap. It is normal that you were not aware of it for a moment."

For now, you should keep a low profile and stay in the manor until things calm down before going out.

You don't need to overthink this. Many things happen in the capital every day; given enough time, no one will remember it.

Hearing this, Ling Yuchen nodded. Although he felt extremely aggrieved, he dared not act presumptuously in front of Madam Ling.

After Madam Ling left, a servant couldn't help but say, "Young Master, don't you find this whole thing a bit strange?"

"What's strange about it?" Ling Yuchen asked subconsciously.

"Madam is always cautious in her actions. She must have specifically inquired about the marriage proposal beforehand. How could such a big mistake have occurred?"

Ling Yuchen was slightly taken aback. He hadn't considered this point before, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that things were indeed a bit strange.

"That's not right either. Why would they frame me for no reason? I just made a fool of myself."

……

Grand Tutor Ruan was extremely satisfied with Song Yi'an, not only because he pointed out the problem with the letter at a glance that day, but also because Song Yi'an never doubted Nian Tang after that incident.

This is the most important point in his view.

His family members were slandered, and he believed them without hesitation, because only in this way could he protect his granddaughter.

Therefore, Song Yi'an also felt the loving gaze of Grand Tutor Ruan in the imperial court.

Everyone in the court could see that Grand Tutor Ruan was deliberately cultivating Song Yi'an. Originally, Song Yi'an was a rising star in the court, and the emperor was very satisfied with his talent.

With his grandfather being the Grand Tutor, his wife's grandfather being the Grand Preceptor, and his father being a general, Song Yi'an's position was unshakeable.

Just as he was about to attend court, someone rushed in to report something.

"King of Chu, something has happened in the military camp under your command."

Upon hearing this, Chu Junting's eyes narrowed. "What happened?"

"A fire broke out in the military camp. The fire has been extinguished, but it has been discovered that some people died inside..."

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the court was filled with shock. Had someone committed murder in the military camp and deliberately set fire to the body?

"The Chu King's army is known for its strict discipline and harshness, and such a thing has never happened before. What's going on today?"

"Your Highness, you should go and take a look. More than one person has died. It seems that things are not as simple as they appear."

Upon hearing this, Chu Junting's expression turned solemn, and he immediately bowed, "Father, I will investigate everything first and then report back."
