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

"Are you talking about this bracelet?"

Song Yi'an took off the bracelet and handed it over. It had been hidden by her sleeve before, so Song Ruozhen hadn't seen it. Now that the bracelet was exposed to the sunlight, a blood-red aura lingered around it.

"I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. This bracelet was a gift from Lord Lin. Now that the engagement has been called off, the bracelet shouldn't be kept."

The man assumed his sister was deliberately reminding him, since the two families were now completely estranged and it was inappropriate to keep them together.

"You're saying this bracelet was a gift from Lin Zhiyue?"

This thing is stained with human blood and has accumulated malevolent energy; it is an unclean thing. Lin Zhiyue went to great lengths to find this thing to give to someone; he really went to great lengths!

Song Yi'an nodded. "This was a gift from Lord Lin when he came to visit you last time. He said he knew my preferences and spent a lot of money to buy it for me."

"If you like bracelets, then take mine with you. As for this 'treasure,' you should return it to Lin Zhiyue."

Song Ruozhen took out another bracelet and handed it over. Since she transmigrated into the book, she found that the personal space that followed her was still there. All the magical artifacts she had made before were in the space, which came in very handy.

Song Yi'an took the bracelet. Although she couldn't see it, it felt warm to the touch, unlike the previous one which was icy cold. It was said to be a bead found deep in the South China Sea, hence its icy texture. This warm and smooth one felt much more comfortable to hold.

"Thank you, sister."

Song Zhiyu watched as Song Yi'an, who always had extremely high standards for beaded bracelets, put that inconspicuous beaded bracelet on his hand. In the past, his second brother would never have liked it, but now that he couldn't see it, he treated it like a treasure.

However, this is my fifth sister's heartfelt gift!

So precious! I want it so badly!

Seeing the redness between Song Yi'an's eyes gradually fade, Song Ruozhen breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she met her third brother's longing gaze.

"???"

"Third brother, this is for you."

Song Ruozhen took out a jade pendant and handed it to Song Zhiyu. Lately, none of the family members have been having a peaceful time, so it's better to have a talisman for protection.

Since the other party has come up with such a vicious trick, she has to find them and have a good talk with them!

……

The Linhou Mansion.

With Song Ruozhen leaving with everyone from the Song family, the marriage between Lin Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang had to be called off.

Because not only did the wedding banquet team disappear, but even the wedding officiant and housekeeper ran away. How could the wedding continue?

After all the guests had witnessed the farce, they all left. The original congratulations turned into mockery. Even though they restrained themselves in front of Lin Zhiyue, behind his back everyone called him heartless and fickle.

Miss Song's actions were truly gratifying!

"My lord, what should we do?"

Qin Shuangshuang looked at the empty Marquis's mansion. The once magnificent courtyard had been emptied and looked dilapidated.

Lin Zhiyue looked up at the roof without tiles. The bright sun shone down, making his head ache. Annoyed, he pulled out a stool and sat down, saying irritably:

"Don't panic, it won't be long before Song Ruozhen comes crying to me!"

"Without me, she'll never get married. Whatever she takes away today, I'll make her return twofold in the future!"

However, just as he said this, the chair made a creaking sound as it collapsed under the weight.

"Clang."

Lin Zhiyue slumped to the ground, unable to contain his pent-up anger any longer, and kicked the table next to him.

The table tipped over with a crash.

"Damn it!" Lin Zhiyue's pent-up anger finally erupted, and his roaring appearance was a far cry from his usual demeanor.

Qin Shuangshuang's face was ugly. She couldn't understand why Song Ruozhen, who was clearly a pushover, should have been getting married in style today, but instead she had to swallow her anger and even spend the night alone in an empty room.

But now everything is different from what I expected. Song Ruozhen seems to have changed her personality. Could it be that in her previous life, Song Ruozhen endured her anger because she had already married Lin Zhiyue and had no other choice but to accept her?

Now she doesn't want to be overshadowed, so she chose to marry Song Ruozhen on the same day, which led her to consider remarrying.

Oops!

How could she not know that the Marquis's mansion was now just an empty shell? Without the Song family's money to bribe officials, wouldn't it be very difficult for Lin Zhiyue to get promoted?

"Zhiyue, what have you done?"

Grandma Lin's angry voice came from outside.

"I've said it before, I won't stop you from marrying Shuangshuang, but Ruozhen has to be married into the family first. She's the one you're engaged to!"

If it weren't for Ruozhen's meticulous care and management of the entire Marquis's mansion these past two years, where would we be in this prosperous state today?

Now look what's happened! The Marquis's mansion has been emptied, and the whole family has become a laughingstock!

Lin Zhiyue lowered her head, her face filled with shame. "Mother, Song Ruozhen is really petty. It's not that I don't want to marry her; we just entered the family at the same time. It's not like I'm letting Shuangshuang outdo her. But she actually broke off the engagement in public, making me lose face. Where is the demeanor of a lady from a respectable family?"

"How can a woman like this be the mistress of the Marquis's mansion?"

Grandma Lin struck Lin Zhiyue heavily with her cane. "Come with me to the Song residence now and apologize!"

"I'm not going!" Lin Zhiyue's face turned ashen.

Old Madam Lin was furious. "If you don't go, you'll completely ruin the reputation of the Marquis's mansion and make everyone think we're ungrateful bastards!"

"Back then, the Qin family rejected your marriage proposal, so I helped you ask the Song family for this marriage. Now that you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you, but you can't betray the Song family."

You just won a battle, returned with promotions and titles, and yet you humiliate the Song family like this! If word gets out, our Lin family will be the laughingstock of everyone!

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Lin glanced at Qin Shuangshuang with disdain. Back then, Lin Zhiyue seemed to be bewitched by her, and in the end, he was severely humiliated by the Qin family.

Seeing her son heartbroken and worried that he would never recover, she went to the Song family to ask for this marriage. She never expected that Qin Shuangshuang would be willing to be with him now, causing this whole mess.

Seeing this, Qin Shuangshuang lowered her head, not caring much. In the future, everything in the Marquis's mansion would have to listen to her!

"You go out first," Lin Ruolan said coldly.

As soon as Qin Shuangshuang left, Lin Ruolan said with exasperation, "Yue'er, you are really confused! The Marquis's mansion is just an empty shell. Only by marrying Zhen'er and having the Song family fill the void can the Marquis's mansion maintain its glory."

"To put it another way, without money, how can you give your Shuangshuang a good life?"

"If you just lower your head, everything will fall into place."

Looking at the roof without tiles, Lin Zhiyue was somewhat persuaded, "But with things having turned out like this today..."

"Don't worry, Zhen'er is a gentle person. She was just too angry today. As long as you apologize and coax her, she won't hold it against you anymore."

Lin Ruolan smiled and said, "If you hadn't been so disrespectful to her today, she might not have broken off the engagement. Marrying her would be a win-win situation for you!"

"My son knows."
