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

Yao did not linger. After finishing her explanation, she left with her two sisters-in-law.

The two sisters-in-law were actually holding a grudge. They hoped that Song Biyun could break off the engagement as soon as possible and end this farce so that their children would be less affected.

Judging from Lu Huai'an's recent actions, it's not hard to guess that if the two don't divorce, things won't get better and will only cause more trouble!

Unfortunately, Song Biyun is unwilling right now, and Gu Ruyan cannot step in, so they can only leave disappointed.

As the eldest son's family left, Gu Ruyan couldn't help but sigh, "This eldest sister-in-law used to be very ambitious. When I first got married, she looked down on me for being mistreated in the Liu family."

Unexpectedly, for Biyun's sake, he has completely let go of his previous pride, but unfortunately, Biyun doesn't appreciate it.

"Everyone has their own destiny, and they choose their own path. Since she is so stubborn, no amount of help from others will help her."

Song Ruozhen remained indifferent; she had witnessed far too many things over the years.

Not everyone deserves help. Most people like to see good deeds rewarded and believe that if you sincerely help others, you will definitely receive their gratitude.

However, there are more farmers and snakes in this world.

You treat people sincerely, but they don't appreciate it at all after they benefit from it; instead, they only want to take more.

Song Biyun has clearly gone to extremes. If we really help her, we'll only be in trouble ourselves. Fortunately, her mother is smart.

Gu Ruyan nodded, "Biyun has gone mad. She won't even listen to what Yao Shi says. If she really has to ask Li Xiaoniang for permission, then no one will be willing to help her in the future."

As a mother, she could tell that Yao was truly heartbroken.

"Mother, don't overthink it. My fifth sister and I have tasted all these fruits and thought these plates were quite good, so I picked them out," Luo Qingyin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruyan snapped out of her reverie. The most important thing right now was to prepare for Yi'an's wedding.

"Mother trusts you, so the pastries and fruits on the table will be chosen by you," Gu Ruyan said with a smile.

Besides the snacks, there were other things as well. Song Ruozhen watched her mother select items one by one and couldn't help but sigh, realizing how much thought her parents had put into their children's lives.

An hour later, Song Ruozhen left the Song residence.

The carriage slowly made its way to the Prince's Palace, but suddenly stopped when it passed by the river.

"What's going on outside?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Song Ruozhen lifted the curtain.

"Miss, isn't that Song Biyun?" Chenxiang asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a large crowd gathered by the lake, all watching the excitement.

Song Biyun was pulling at Lu Huai'an, and another girl was standing next to Lu Huai'an.

"Huai'an, how long have we been married? You clearly promised before that you would treat me with all your heart and that I would be the only one in your heart. How could you find someone else so quickly?"

"Song Biyun, what are you doing? Pulling and tugging like this in the street, what kind of behavior is this!"

Lu Huai'an looked grim; he felt uncomfortable whenever he saw Song Biyun.

He had been quite obedient and well-behaved before, but after that embarrassing incident, he didn't want to see her again!

Almost every time he saw him, it reminded him of the ridicule he received from others. His brothers in the manor already looked down on him, and now he was being talked about behind his back wherever he went!

"If you hadn't treated me like this, would I have been pulling and tugging at you?"

Song Biyun was furious. She hadn't believed her mother when she said Lu Huai'an was having an affair, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she realized it was all true!

"The hairpin in your hand is part of my dowry!"

Suddenly, Song Biyun's eyes narrowed as she noticed the hairpin Lu Huai'an was preparing to give to another girl—it was the best gold hairpin in her jewelry box!

"Are you even human? How dare you steal my hairpin and give it to someone else?"

Lu Huai'an's expression changed slightly. It would indeed be shameful if word got out that he was using his wife's dowry to curry favor with other girls.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I bought this hairpin. You can't just accuse me out of jealousy!"

“This is clearly my gold hairpin, a gift from my mother. How could I not recognize it?” Song Biyun exclaimed.

Seeing that Song Biyun was relentless, Lu Huai'an steeled his resolve and said directly, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The doctor says you can't have children, so can't I take a concubine?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the crowd.

"Just because a wife can't have children doesn't mean she can stop her husband from taking a concubine, otherwise she'll be childless for the rest of her life?"

"You don't know them, do you? Song Biyun got pregnant before she was married, but he pushed her hard, which caused her to miscarry."

They've only been married a short time, and Lu Huai'an has already taken a concubine. Who could tolerate that?

When Song Biyun saw that Lu Huai'an had revealed her deepest pain, her pupils contracted sharply, her face flushed crimson, and she screamed hysterically:

"If you hadn't gotten rid of our child, how could I have ruined my health and become unable to have children?"

How could you say such a thing? Don't you have any conscience?!

At this moment, the woman in the yellow dress next to her looked at a loss and hurriedly said, "Madam Lu, please don't misunderstand, I have no relationship with Young Master Lu."

He just tried to give me this hairpin, but I didn't accept it. I would never become someone's concubine.

Upon hearing the girl's words, Song Ruozhen became interested: "I thought it was a drama of two women fighting over one man, and I was wondering how this young girl could be so blind."

So it turns out it was all just Lu Huai'an's wishful thinking?

Chenxiang couldn't help but laugh. "Your Highness, Lu Huai'an's reputation has been quite bad lately. I heard people talking about him when I went to the shop to buy things a few days ago."

It is said that Li Xiaoniang wanted to take a concubine for him, and spread rumors that Song Biyun could not have children, probably hoping to make other people eager to become his concubine.

If the principal wife cannot bear children, then a child born to a concubine may become the legitimate heir.

Song Ruozhen understood. "No wonder Song Biyun fought with Li Xiaoniang directly. It's probably not just because she was being tortured, but also because of the concubine issue, right?"

For women at that time, being unable to bear children was a great sin.

After hearing this news, Yao must have realized that even if Song Biyun endured it all, her inability to have children would constitute a violation of the seven grounds for divorce.

If they don't divorce, they can only wait to be divorced; it's a choice between two evils, choosing the lesser one.

"You little slut, don't think I don't know you deliberately seduced Huai'an!"

Song Biyun ignored the woman's explanation and grabbed her, saying, "Don't even think about running away. Now that I've caught you, you want your reputation? Not so easy!"

Huang Qingqing looked completely innocent, but when she saw the fierce-looking Song Biyun, she felt utterly terrified.

"What I said is true. I am a perfectly good young lady and would never become a concubine!"
