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

"How could Zhaoyuan suddenly encounter a ghost? If she's really with this person, wouldn't she be doomed?"

Xu Rao panicked completely. Before, she was only worried that she would suffer in the future after marrying a poor scholar with no ability.

Even if it really comes to that, with the Gu family around, as long as they take good care of her, Zhaoyuan can live a pretty good life. But if she encounters a ghost, then it will be a matter of life and death!

Fortunately, Ruozhen came today; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "When I first saw Zhaoyuan today, I felt that something was wrong with her. She had a faint aura of death about her."

You don't need to worry too much. It was discovered early, so there won't be any major impact.

Xu Rao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's wonderful!"

Having gone through so much, she knew Ruozhen's abilities all too well, and she never doubted anything she said.

"What should we do next? Should we buy anything, or is there a problem with the feng shui of our home, and should we make any changes?"

Xu Rao couldn't help but feel anxious. She remembered that the Song family had suffered a series of misfortunes because of bad feng shui, which led to the children's accidents one after another.

If something like this were to happen in their household, it would be a serious matter.

"Don't worry, Aunt, there's no problem with the feng shui of the mansion. I checked it when I came here, and all the necessary changes have been made. You can rest assured," Song Ruozhen reassured her.

Xu Rao nodded. "It's good that you're alright. I'll listen to you."

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't make a direct judgment."

The name Qu Shen should be real; my uncle can probably find out his identity with a simple investigation.

Song Ruozhen pondered for a moment before speaking, "The reason this person would approach Zhaoyuan is either because the two of them had a previous connection, or because they have someone they know in common."

Otherwise, Zhaoyuan would not have gotten involved with such things in the first place.

Gu Qingyan turned to look at Xu Rao, "Are you sure if she knows anyone like this, or anyone with the surname Qu?"

Xu Rao shook her head. "Zhao Yuan usually has to stay at home most of the time, so she doesn't know many people, let alone people who died at such a young age."

"Alright, I'll go check it out later. If there really is such a person as Qu Shen, I'm sure I'll be able to find him."

Gu Qingyan's eyes were serious. This matter concerned his daughter's life, so he naturally couldn't delay.

"I didn't explain this to Zhaoyuan directly today. She's deeply involved now, and this kind of scoundrel is best at sweet talk, making the girl completely deaf to what others are saying."

If I were to directly state the truth, Zhaoyuan would not only not believe me, but might even think it's a lie we fabricated to deliberately sabotage us.

Song Ruozhen had seen this before, and she had to admit that these young men who died without getting married were incredibly cunning when they started using their methods.

Otherwise, so many girls wouldn't have fallen for this scam and still believe it wholeheartedly.

Gu Huan'er nodded repeatedly, "This is the first time I've seen Zhao Yuan so happy. It's exactly the same as when I liked Prince Yun."

If she doesn't truly realize that the other person isn't human, she definitely won't believe it.

"If this continues, won't something bad happen to Zhaoyuan?" Xu Rao asked anxiously.

"Aunt, don't worry, I have some talismans here. Wear them on your bodies to keep you safe."

Song Ruozhen took out several talismans, "Because you all advised Zhaoyuan not to be with him before, he may already be holding a grudge against you."

Once Zhaoyuan and you have a complete falling out, the enmity will only deepen, so you must wear this talisman properly.

"Furthermore, I believe Zhaoyuan is not an unreasonable person. The reason she is insisting on doing this is because she is unaware of the truth."

Huan'er and I have already discussed this, and we've asked her to find an opportunity for us to meet Qu Shen.

"If we go then, we'll naturally expose his true colors. However, that guy probably won't dare to see us; he'll just make excuses. I believe Zhao Yuan will realize something's wrong by then."

“You’re right.” Xu Rao nodded, then asked, “Shouldn’t Zhao Yuan wear this talisman too?”

Song Ruozhen nodded, "Find an opportunity for her to wear it."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!"

When Song Ruozhen came out, Chu Junting was already waiting for her outside.

"How did the persuasion go?"

Chu Junting knew that Song Ruozhen and Gu Huan'er had left earlier to persuade Gu Zhaoyuan, but he felt that Gu Zhaoyuan's appearance at the time made her difficult to persuade.

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow slightly. "What do you think?"

“I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to persuade him.” Chu Junting shook his head. “However, I think this person doesn’t even have the courage to meet him, so he’s not a good match.”

Song Ruozhen's clear eyes showed surprise, "You figured it out just from what my aunt said earlier?"

“I am a man, so I naturally know a thing or two. If he were really as he says, worried that he was not good enough for your cousin and unwilling to let her suffer, then he would not have provoked her in the first place.”

Now that they are in love, his saying such things is nothing more than a strategic retreat to gain a good reputation.

He didn't even dare show his face, relying entirely on his cousin to stand up for him against his family. This kind of irresponsible guy is just like Lu Huai'an!

Chu Junting couldn't help but feel disgusted when he talked about Lu Huai'an. Fortunately, Mu Yao saw through his hypocrisy. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to persuade a girl who was so eager to get close to him!

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "There are still some differences between them."

"What's the difference?" Chu Junting asked.

"Between them, one is alive, and the other is dead."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Chu Junting's deep eyes. "Dead? It can't be..."

“It’s just what you think.” Song Ruozhen nodded. “Some people are promiscuous in their youth, but they die before they can get married, which creates a great obsession.”

Even after death, he still wanted to marry. Zhao Yuan unfortunately encountered such a thing, but whether others were involved still needs to be investigated.

"You mean someone deliberately harmed Zhaoyuan?"

"This is just my guess, and it may not be true."

Song Ruozhen waved her hand, saying that since there was no evidence and they were completely unaware of the situation, they could not make any judgments.

"I've encountered something similar before. That young man was too promiscuous and ruined a young lady's life."

The girl was cheated out of her body and money, and scorned by her family. Finally, she was left with nothing. Unable to bear it any longer, she resorted to this method to have a female ghost take her away.

"By the time they found him, the man had already been drained of his life force and died. However, Zhao Yuan is gentle and never causes trouble, so it's unlikely that anyone would do such a thing out of hatred for her."

Chu Junting listened to Song Ruozhen's story, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"Madam is truly knowledgeable. Just hearing about this kind of thing is quite interesting. It's not entirely innocent that the man ended up like this."

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "What goes around comes around. This is karma."
