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

Zhao Shuwan felt flustered as Song Ruozhen stared at her, as if she could see right through her.

"Calm down! Your engagement with Song Yi'an has been cancelled, what are you afraid of?" Qin Xiangheng said in a low voice.

Zhao Shuwan snapped out of her daze, her face showing displeasure. "Ruozhen, you came to the lake for a boat trip even after you broke off the engagement, so why can't I?"

Song Ruozhen smiled sarcastically, "Although I broke off the engagement, I'm not sad. On the contrary, you came to our mansion a few days ago crying and saying you were sorry to my second brother."

Could it be that he just used this as a pretext to sneak into my second brother's study and steal articles?

Zhao Shuwan was startled. "I...I didn't..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Song Ruozhen interrupted her.

"I thought you were just a snob, but I didn't expect you to be even worse. It's a good thing you didn't marry my second brother, otherwise it would have been a real misfortune for the family."

With that, Song Ruozhen helped Song Yi'an turn around and walk into the cabin, unwilling to look at her again.

Zhao Shuwan was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder, but Song Ruozhen's cold gaze and aura made her subconsciously afraid, and she couldn't argue back on the spot!

What's wrong with this woman?

She used to be so easy to manipulate; all it took was a few sweet words and a pitiful act and she'd believe them. But now she's so hard to deal with!

Qin Xiangheng watched Yun Nianchu's retreating figure, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

When he returned home yesterday, his mother mentioned the Yun family girl and intended to arrange a marriage for him. However, he was not familiar with the Yun family girl before and thought she was Yun Xiwan.

However, the girl who was with Song Ruozhen just now should be Yun Nianchu, right?

She is indeed a beauty.

Once inside the cabin, the sight of the cruise ship bobbing on the shimmering lake dispelled some of my initial annoyance.

"Qin Xiangheng is truly despicable. He stole your article and is shamelessly proud of it, showing no remorse whatsoever in front of you."

Xu He'an frowned. "He must have memorized your article and then chosen a suitable time to write it down, so that everyone would assume that he did it."

Thank goodness you... otherwise, I would have been speechless.

As he spoke, Xu He'an glanced at the quiet Yun Xiwan not far away and stopped talking.

"Indeed, it's fortunate that we had a backup plan, and we have to thank Fifth Sister for that."

Song Yi'an unconsciously turned to his younger sister. If it weren't for his fifth sister reminding him, he would have had to let them take the credit, and might even have been bitten in return.

Just imagining such a scene makes one's blood boil.

Xu He'an was surprised, "So this was Miss Song's idea?"

"I just find it strange that Zhao Shuwan hasn't come here since my second brother went blind. Her sudden appearance in the study is unusual and there must be something fishy going on."

Song Ruozhen smiled faintly, her gaze sweeping over Yun Xiwan beside her, curious about the purpose of her visit today.

Could it be... that she was bribed by Qin Xiangheng?

"Miss Song is truly intelligent."

Xu He'an's admiration deepened, but not everyone was so clever as to immediately realize something was amiss.

"I'm sorry I dragged you into this today, ruining your enjoyment of the lake trip," Song Yi'an said, bowing with a look of deep remorse.

"How can I blame you? It's just bad luck. I hope you won't take it to heart," Xu He'an said.

Yun Nianchu, who was standing to the side, asked with concern, "Cousin, do those people usually talk about you like that at the Imperial Academy? Why don't you refute them?"

"I'm fine, it was just a verbal argument."

Yun Chengze remained calm, seemingly not taking the matter to heart.

He knew his own status in the Yun family, and he was deeply grateful for the care his aunt and uncle had shown him. What these people said wasn't entirely wrong.

"I wanted to crush Qian Wei's smug face!"

"You're my cousin, the young master of the Yun family, and besides, you're incredibly talented. Your name will definitely be on the list of successful candidates in this year's imperial examinations!"

Yun Nianchu was filled with righteous indignation. She knew very well how hard her cousin studied, and how much better he was than those who followed crooked paths.

“I also saw Young Master Qin write the poem with my own eyes. Could there be a misunderstanding?” Yun Xiwan couldn’t help but ask.

She was furious when she saw Zhao Shuwan following Qin Xiangheng again.

That woman was incredibly lucky to get engaged to Song Yi'an, and now that the engagement has just been called off, she's starting to pester Young Master Qin again. How can she be worthy of him?

Yun Nianchu glanced at Yun Xiwan, "Didn't you have feelings for Qin Xiangheng? Why don't you go with them and instead stay here with us?"

Yun Xiwan choked. She wanted to go too, but her facial injury hadn't healed yet, and she was worried about leaving a bad impression on Young Master Qin. But she was feeling restless at home, so she came along on her own.

She glanced at Xu He'an subconsciously; in fact, he was far more handsome and talented than Qin Xiangheng.

Unfortunately, the Xu family had such high standards that they didn't even consider her.

"Can't I... I want to stay here?"

Compared to the calm demeanor of Song Ruozhen and the others, Qin Xiangheng and his group were much noisier on the boat.

"Xiang Heng, you have such a good temper. If you ask me, why be so polite to Song Yi'an?"

He used to be impressive, but what is he now? He even slandered you just to steal your thunder! We should make a big scene and see how he ever faces anyone again!

“In the past, everyone fawned over him, but now that he has lost power and his friends are stealing his thunder, it’s no wonder he’s starting to have the wrong idea.”

I've heard people say before that some people become malicious and narrow-minded after suffering from a serious illness. Miss Zhao, it's fortunate you broke off the engagement; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable if you had actually married him!

Zhao Shuwan was already disliked because of the annulment of the engagement, and people said she was mean and snobbish.

Seeing everyone complaining about Song Yi'an, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was hoping everyone would criticize Song Yi'an so she could get rid of her bad reputation.

"I was young and naive back then. I thought Song Yi'an was a good person with a lot of talent. But you don't know that he is fierce and irritable in private and will even hit people."

"I...I dared not say much for the sake of his reputation, but I never expected to be wronged by them today," Zhao Shuwan cried.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed instantly. "Such a thing actually happened?"

Seeing that everyone was listening with great interest, Qin Xiangheng ordered someone to bring wine and food, and they talked loudly and happily on the boat, completely smearing Song Yi'an.

Just as Zhao Shuwan was about to go to the toilet, Qin Xiangheng suddenly pulled her into a side room.

"Quickly, let me have some fun."

Qin Xiangheng impatiently began to grope Zhao Shuwan indiscriminately.

He felt a real sense of satisfaction listening to everyone hurl insults at Song Yi'an.

Back then, he could only be a supporting character by Song Yi'an's side, and no one paid any attention to him. Only when he got Zhao Shuwan did he feel a sense of satisfaction.

Now...it all belongs to her!

Zhao Shuwan was initially worried that someone might pass by and overhear, but Qin Xiangheng was igniting passions all over her, and the familiar voices coming from outside made it all the more exciting.

They quickly became addicted to it.

"Why hasn't Brother Qin returned yet?" Qian Wei looked back in confusion. "Does going to the toilet take that long?"
