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

"You don't want to be a concubine?" Song Biyun scoffed, as if she instantly understood. "You really have quite the appetite. You want Huai'an to divorce me and then marry you as his principal wife?"

Huang Qingqing was dumbfounded and quickly said, "No, I have no feelings for Young Master Lu at all. He just tried to give me a hairpin, but I refused!"

As she spoke, Huang Qingqing looked pleadingly at the onlookers and said, "Is there anyone who can testify for me? I really did refuse just now!"

Most of the others didn't know what was going on; they only came to watch the commotion because Song Biyun had started making a scene.

"If you hadn't seduced him, how could he have been so bewitched as to steal my dowry to give to you!"

Song Biyun glared at Huang Qingqing, looking as if she wanted to devour her alive!

"Don't think I don't know your tricks. You think you can get in here? Not a chance!"

Huang Qingqing was also annoyed at this moment. She tried to shake off Song Biyun's hand while glaring angrily at Lu Huai'an.

“Young Master Lu, this is your family matter and has nothing to do with me. Although I am just an ordinary citizen, I have a clean reputation. How can I let you ruin my name like this?”

Lu Huai'an felt a little happy seeing Huang Qingqing's angry expression.

He had taken a liking to the girl at first sight, and thought that once he revealed his identity, she would definitely eagerly come up to him wanting to be his concubine.

Who would have thought that the girl would completely ignore him and even declared that she would never become someone's concubine!

Although Song Biyun's appearance surprised him, if he really ruined the girl's reputation, she would never be able to get married and would only be able to become his concubine!

“Since we’ve been caught, why don’t you come back to the manor with me? I won’t mistreat you,” Lu Huai’an said.

Upon hearing this, Huang Qingqing immediately understood what Lu Huai'an meant.

Her face turned pale, and she quickly shook off Song Biyun's hand and tried to leave. Her mother had told her since she was a child that even if one came from a humble background, one should not become someone's concubine.

Once she became a concubine, even her children were inferior to her. She didn't ask for great wealth and status; she was content just to make a living by selling vegetables every day.

"You think you can leave? No way!"

Song Biyun wouldn't let Huang Qingqing leave; she was determined to get to the bottom of things today.

Seeing that a perfectly good girl was about to be driven to the brink of death by these two people, Song Ruozhen immediately got off the carriage.

However, before she even reached the spot, she heard a "plop" sound, followed by two exclamations.

"Help me—"

Song Biyun thrashed about in the water, swallowing several mouthfuls of water in a short time.

Huang Qingqing was also splashing around in the water, while Lu Huai'an just watched from the shore. "Really, how could she make such a fuss over me!"

Song Ruozhen: "???"

Other villagers immediately shouted, "This is going to be a tragedy! Is there anyone who can swim? Quickly, save them!"

However, although there were many people around, none of them knew how to swim.

Suddenly, a beggar jumped down.

The beggar was a good swimmer and quickly rescued Song Biyun and Huang Qingqing.

Just as Song Biyun breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Lu Huai'an shout, "You're soaking wet and a man touched you all over. Everyone saw it. I'm divorcing you!"

As Lu Huai'an finished speaking, Song Biyun was so angry that she almost fainted!

"He was saving me; he didn't touch me all over at all!"

"Who knows? Nobody knows what you were doing underwater just now!"

Besides, when I carried you up just now, you were pressed tightly together; everyone saw it. You can't have children to begin with, and now another man has touched you. I must divorce you!

Huang Qingqing looked pale; she had also been rescued by the beggar.

Originally, this wouldn't have been a problem; she could have simply expressed her gratitude. But now that Lu Huai'an has made such a fuss, her reputation is probably ruined!

Thinking of this, Huang Qingqing couldn't help but tear up. What terrible things had she done?

He hadn't done anything wrong; he was just buying groceries when Lu Huai'an started harassing him, and then his wife wouldn't let him go. Now he's completely finished!

A triumphant glint gleamed in Lu Huai'an's eyes; he had long wanted to divorce his wife.

After seeing his mother tormenting Song Biyun every day, he thought that as long as Song Biyun couldn't stand it and made a scene, the Song family would definitely not be able to stand it, so he would just make a scene and divorce her directly.

Who would have thought that Song Biyun must have lost her mind, because she actually planned to come back!

Now that he's getting angry and saying this has gone too far, it's exactly what he wanted!

“If I’m considered unclean, then what about her?” Song Biyun pointed at Huang Qingqing and glared angrily at Lu Huai’an.

Lu Huai'an looked down at Huang Qingqing and said, "Today you fell into the water and were saved by a beggar. So many people saw it. I'm afraid no one will be willing to marry you in the future."

If you agree to become my concubine now, I can overlook this; otherwise… you'll likely only be able to marry this beggar in the future!

Hearing that Lu Huai'an still wanted Huang Qingqing to come in at this point, Song Biyun felt like her head was about to explode.

All those vows of eternal love were lies. He had been deceiving her all along, and now he even wanted to throw her away like trash!

"You'd better think carefully before marrying me or a beggar!"

A smug glint flashed in Lu Huai'an's eyes. This girl had no background or status, so wasn't he the one making all the decisions?

He simply couldn't believe that Huang Qingqing would choose to marry a beggar!

Huang Qingqing clenched her fists, her gaze falling on the beggar who had just rescued her.

Because of falling into the water, much of the dirt on the beggar's face was washed away, and he didn't look bad anymore.

If she followed Lu Huai'an, her future would be completely ruined. Thinking of this, she steeled her heart and said, "I will marry him!"

"What did you say?"

Lu Huai'an was dumbfounded, thinking that Huang Qingqing had really gone mad. She actually chose to marry a beggar?

"Girl, you're really smart. You can tell at a glance that this is a beast. If you have to choose between a person and a dog, of course you'll choose a person."

Song Ruozhen walked over. She admired Huang Qingqing's integrity, choosing to marry a beggar rather than become Lu Huai'an's concubine.

"How dare you call me a beast?"

Lu Huai'an turned his head angrily, wanting to see which fool dared to insult him!

The moment he saw Song Ruozhen, his expression froze. "Princess Consort of Chu?"

"The girl already rejected you, but you insist on pestering her. You're despicable and shameless!"

She is completely innocent, yet you two insist on dragging her into your affair, tarnishing her reputation, and now you're even forcing her to marry a beggar.

What's the difference between your actions and abducting a woman in the street?

Song Ruozhen looked at everyone with disgust in her clear eyes and said, "Think about it, if it were your sister or daughter who was being harassed right now, what would happen to them!"

The others already felt that what Lu Huai'an and his companion had done was inappropriate, and Huang Qingqing was truly pitiful. Now that they saw the Princess of Chu upholding justice, they all agreed with her.
