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

The residence of Grand Tutor Gu.

When the carriage stopped at the gate, Chu Junting and Song Ruozhen got off together, just as the carriage from the Song family arrived.

When Song Lin saw Chu Junting, he smiled and said, "I heard that the Dali Temple has been very busy lately, and I was thinking that you might not be free today, which was a pity. I didn't expect you to come."

"The prince knew that his maternal grandfather had invited him today, so he returned early on special occasion," Song Ruozhen explained with a smile.

A hint of appreciation appeared in Song Lin's eyes; the King of Chu truly valued them highly.

As the group entered the mansion in a lively atmosphere, Grand Tutor Gu and the others were already waiting.

"Eldest uncle, second uncle."

"Big cousin, second cousin, third cousin..."

Because everyone in the manor gathered today, it was quite a lively occasion.

Gu Huan'er dressed up specially today, making her look exceptionally charming and adorable.

"Huan'er's marriage to His Highness Prince Yun has been arranged and will be held on the sixth day of next month."

"I've specially invited everyone here today to celebrate Huan'er's wedding. The manor will probably have to make some elaborate preparations then."

Gu Qingxiu stood up with a smile, "Let me first offer you all a toast."

Everyone raised their glasses, their faces beaming with joy.

"Congratulations! Huan'er is getting married!"

Gu Huan'er couldn't help but feel shy, but the thought of finally marrying Prince Yun filled her with joy.

Only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand the feeling of a dream about to come true, especially since the King of Clouds has treated her exceptionally well since they became friends.

Since the Prince of Yun fell ill, she has been taking care of him almost every day, and their relationship has continued to grow stronger.

Now that the wedding date has been set, she is completely immersed in happiness.

"Ruyan, you arranged Zhen'er's wedding before, so you have to help me now."

The second aunt pulled Gu Ruyan aside and spoke up, saying that her daughter was going to marry into the royal family, and the etiquette could not be wrong at all.

Although she had made a special inquiry, she was still worried that something might go wrong, thinking that Ruyan had experience and could help her review it.

Gu Ruyan chuckled, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me."

Good news keeps coming to our family these days; Yi'an and Huan'er are getting married!

The eldest uncle, Gu Qingyan, looked at his fourth daughter and said, "Zhaoyuan, Huan'er is getting married now, and you'll be next."

Gu Zhaoyuan was startled and said, "Father, there's no rush for my marriage."

The aunt couldn't help but say, "Zhaoyuan, you're not young anymore. If you don't get married soon, are you going to wait until you become an old maid?"

Seeing that Huan'er was about to marry the Prince of Yun and become the Princess Consort, she felt both happy and envious.

If only Zhaoyuan could also find a satisfactory marriage.

Song Ruozhen's gaze fell on her cousin, and upon seeing the dark circles under her eyes, she unconsciously frowned.

She actually saw a faint aura of death on her cousin. What was going on?

No one in my family has passed away recently, so where did my cousin come into contact with the death aura?

"Sister, brother-in-law, we're all family, so I won't stand on ceremony."

If you happen to meet a young gentleman who is a good match for Zhaoyuan, we would appreciate it if you could help act as matchmakers.

Gu Ruyan smiled and nodded, "Of course, that's no problem. I'll definitely find a suitable husband for Zhaoyuan!"

Upon hearing this, the aunt's smile widened even more, and she turned to Gu Zhaoyuan, saying, "Aren't you going to thank your aunt and uncle?"

However, Gu Zhaoyuan's expression turned extremely ugly after hearing that her mother insisted on arranging a marriage for her.

"Mother, I've already told you, I already have someone I love, and I will marry no one but him in this life, so please stop forcing me!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruyan and the others were all surprised. It turned out that Gu Zhaoyuan already had someone she liked.

"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?" The aunt's face changed, and she scolded her sternly.

Gu Zhaoyuan's eyes reddened. "Anyway, I'm not going to marry him. I know you look down on him and think he's not good enough for me."

I have a different opinion from you. I admire his talent. He just didn't have a good start in life. He will achieve great things sooner or later.

Mother, why can't you give us a chance?

The aunt was furious. She never expected that her usually obedient and sensible daughter would disobey her!

"With your good family background, wouldn't it be great to marry someone of equal social standing, have no worries about food and clothing, and be the mistress of the house?"

I've taught you music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and prose all these years, not so you could do laundry and cook for others!

Zhaoyuan was her youngest daughter, and she doted on her more than her other children.

Now that she is the only one left unmarried, she is determined to find a good husband for her. She doesn't expect her to marry into the royal family like Huan'er, but she wants to find a family whose status and position are comparable to hers.

In this way, she will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and she can live a peaceful and smooth life.

Who would have thought that the girl was really out of her mind, actually falling in love with a poor scholar outside, to the point that she could hardly afford to eat!

"Stop talking." Gu Qingyan frowned. "Today is to celebrate Huan'er's upcoming marriage. We can talk about Zhaoyuan in private. Let's not spoil this good mood."

Seeing this, the older woman agreed, realizing that it was indeed inappropriate to overstep her bounds at the moment.

Song Ruozhen quietly watched this scene unfold. Although she was somewhat surprised, such things were common even in plays, so it wasn't unusual.

Young ladies from aristocratic families are often attracted to the hard work and resilience of impoverished scholars.

Because they had grown up in luxury and had never experienced such hardship, they easily felt sorry for poor scholars and gradually developed the idea of ​​wanting to save them.

However, such things can happen like a scholar who is devoted to a rich young lady, or a heartless man like Chen Shimei; no one can say for sure.

What she was more curious about at that moment was where her cousin's faint aura of death came from; that was the strangest thing.

"Cousin, are you curious too?"

Gu Huan'er sat on Song Ruozhen's other side. Because the two were very close, they had sat together earlier.

"You know?" Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. She knew that Huan'er was always well-informed, so she must know something.

"Actually, I'm not really sure either. I just overheard some of it when Zhaoyuan and her aunt were arguing last time."

Zhao Yuan is also a devoted lover; she has truly fallen for that young master. However, her aunt disapproves of her relationship with him and has recently been preventing her from even leaving the house.

I've seen her secretly crying several times these past few days; it's so pitiful.

Gu Huan'er sighed; she had experienced the pain of unrequited love herself.

She had been heartbroken because His Highness Prince Yun didn't like her before, and that kind of sadness was hard to shake off.

She lost her appetite and felt empty inside, but God was kind to her, allowing her and Prince Yun to become a couple.

Unfortunately, Zhaoyuan may not be so lucky.
