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

Madam Yao, the eldest wife of the Song family, walked at the front, accompanied by her two sisters-in-law and younger relatives.

When he saw Gu Ruyan, he greeted her with a warm smile and kept saying that they were all family and should visit each other more often.

Song Ruozhen and the others exchanged a knowing glance. Judging from their attitude, they could tell that they had something to ask of them today. Otherwise, how could they suddenly be so enthusiastic when the relationship between the two sides had been so cold over the years?

Among the younger generation of the Song family's eldest branch, Song Biyun was spotted.

However, after a period of time, Song Biyun had become much thinner than before, and a layer of sorrow shrouded her brows and eyes. She was no longer as energetic as before, but instead showed a hint of distress.

Song Biyun also noticed Song Ruozhen, and her expression immediately froze.

She didn't want to come to the Song residence in the first place, but her mother said that Song Ruozhen was already married and that she wouldn't run into her even if she came to the Song residence, so she came along.

Who would have thought that Song Ruozhen would happen to be there today, and that they would run into each other, and a sense of humiliation suddenly welled up in their hearts.

The person she least wants to see now is Song Ruozhen.

"Sister-in-law, you came here with your sister-in-law today, you must have something to discuss with me, right?"

Just by looking at this scene, Gu Ruyan knew that the other party had come prepared, and it was obviously impossible to just brush them off with a few words.

Today, she was planning to discuss the wedding banquet with her family, so she called Zhen'er back. Not wanting to waste too much time, she asked her directly.

Seeing Gu Ruyan's straightforwardness, Yao's smile faded slightly, as if she had made a decision, and she said:

"Sister-in-law, since you've already figured it out, I won't hide it anymore."

We've come to you today because we really have a favor to ask. We're at our wits' end, and we're just begging you to help us.

"As long as you're willing to help my poor daughter, I'll do anything you ask!"

As she spoke, Yao made a gesture as if to kneel down.

"Sister-in-law, this is absolutely not allowed."

Gu Ruyan helped Yao up, but sighed inwardly. It seemed to be a troublesome matter, otherwise Yao would not have knelt down so easily, given her personality.

"If there's anything you need to say, why don't we go inside and sit down and talk?"

As Yao and the others walked into the courtyard, they immediately noticed the many dried fruits and pastries on the table, many of which they could recognize at a glance from which shop.

These are all expensive. I didn't expect the Song family to buy so many at once. They even bought the same kind of pastry from different shops. It's really extravagant and wasteful.

As Song Ruozhen saw the group of people walking towards where she and her sister-in-law were sitting, she immediately stood up.

"I thought Ruozhen was clever when she was a child. Now she has become the Princess Consort of Chu. I heard that the King of Chu treats her very well."

If her eyes were filled with complex emotions and her voice was tinged with envy, she couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw Gu Ruyan give birth to four sons in a row.

She felt relieved when she finally saw that she had given birth to a daughter. She never expected that Song Lin's family was different from others; they treated their daughter like a precious treasure.

She had felt relieved when she heard that Song Ruozhen had broken off her engagement on the day of her wedding. She never expected that she would marry the famous Prince Chu in the blink of an eye. Not to mention that now the entire capital city knows that the prince dotes on her and that she has made meritorious contributions one after another!

Looking at her own daughter, she had hoped that she would marry someone she liked, but who would have thought that she would end up marrying someone like Shen Huai'an!

Gu Ruyan couldn't help but feel happy when the other party praised her daughter.

"King Chu treats Zhen'er very well. As mothers, our greatest wish is for our children to live well."

Upon hearing this, Yao's two sisters-in-law couldn't help but look at Yao. It was as if they had hit a nerve; even they felt hurt by what she said.

"Sister-in-law, just tell me directly, what do you want with me?"

Madam Yao turned to look at Song Biyun, sighed deeply, and said, "We really have no other choice but to let them come to us today."

You've probably heard about Biyun's marriage, but because it was something she found difficult to talk about, she didn't have a grand wedding, nor did she invite you to a banquet.

Song Biyun's face flushed red. She felt utterly humiliated to have her affair brought up in front of everyone.

She disliked Song Ruozhen from a young age. Although they were both members of the Song family, Song Ruozhen was pampered by the second branch of the Song family after her birth.

On the other hand, although her parents also liked her, her family was not as wealthy as the second wife's, and her parents actually preferred her brother.

Therefore, she was always jealous of Song Ruozhen and couldn't stand seeing her doing well.

She thought she would make something of herself when she grew up, but instead of making something of herself, she has become a laughing stock for everyone!

"I don't need help, Mother, please stop!"

Seeing Song Biyun's stubborn appearance, Yao was furious and slapped her shoulder hard.

"How far has things gotten? You're capable of doing something like this, are you really afraid no one will talk about it now?"

Recalling the day she fought with Li Xiaoniang, she realized that over the years, she had become quite skilled and dignified, yet at her age, she had to fight with a young woman in an inn!

Because of this incident, she was ridiculed by many people. In the end, for the sake of her daughter's future, she swallowed her pride and bowed her head to Li Xiaoniang.

Who would have thought that after the marriage... Biyun suffered day after day of hardship, and now Lu Huai'an has found a new lover outside!

"Mother, why do you have to force me? Do you have to make me a laughingstock?"

Song Biyun roared hysterically, glaring fiercely at Song Ruozhen, "Are you satisfied now that I've fallen to this state!"

"It's not my business?"

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow, finding it amusing. This matter had nothing to do with her from beginning to end. Since the people from the Song family's main branch came, she hadn't said a word. Yet, the blame was being placed on her for no reason.

"Don't think I don't know, you've been waiting to see me make a fool of myself!"

Song Biyun's eyes were red; the days she had spent in the Shen family during this period were simply bleak.

Because Li Xiaoniang held a grudge against her, she felt that Shen Huai'an had made a mistake by marrying her. She believed that Li Xiaoniang was the one who caused Shen Huai'an to fail to marry the princess and also caused Li Xiaoniang to lose face in front of so many people.

The entire Shen family was laughing at them. She had never been looked down upon like this before, but after getting married, she could only swallow her anger.

She had lost her child and was already in poor health, so she should have taken good care of herself. However, Li Xiaoniang made her stand in a proper manner and serve her mother-in-law every day, which exhausted her and made her sick.

That wasn't enough. Li Xiaoniang insisted that she was trying to shirk her duties and was pretending to be sick, so she forcibly dragged her out of bed!

It was precisely because she could no longer tolerate it that she fought with Li Xiaoniang, resulting in both of them being injured, and she returned to her parents' home.

In truth, she knew that it was Li Xiaoniang who had driven her out, and she simply couldn't continue living that kind of life in the Shen family!
