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

Listening to Xu Jing's story, Song Ruozhen realized that this Young Master Jiang was simply repaying her life-saving grace and had no other intentions.

“Aunt, what you said is indeed suspicious. I will pay attention. If it was indeed caused by this Miss Tong, we will certainly not let my cousin suffer this injustice for nothing.”

Last night, Huan'er and I made a decision and persuaded Zhao Yuan to find an opportunity to take us to see Qu Shen outside the city.

"Once I go, that guy won't be able to hide it from me anymore. When Zhaoyuan finds out it was all a lie, she naturally won't have any feelings left."

"What we need to do now is support Zhaoyuan and make her believe that we are willing to accept Qu Shen. The previous obstacles were just because we were worried that she would not have a good life after marrying him."

The more accepting we are, the less Zhao Yuan will hide anything from us.

In this way, that guy won't be able to come up with an excuse, and Zhao Yuan will realize the problem on his own without us even having to expose him.

Although Song Ruozhen hadn't had much contact with Zhao Yuan before, from the few times they had met, she knew that Zhao Yuan was a reasonable girl.

It's perfectly normal for someone who doesn't know the situation to think it's a destined connection when they encounter something like this.

Xu Rao nodded, "You're right. I told Zhao Yuan last night that she's not as unwilling to see me as she was a few days ago."

“Aunt, don’t stop Zhaoyuan from going out. Only if she goes out will we have a chance to catch Qu Shen,” Song Ruozhen added.

"I understand, thank you so much, Ruozhen." Xu Rao couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

“Aunt, we are all family, there’s no need to say such things. If we need help, you and Uncle will certainly not refuse.”

"That's natural."

……

Gu Zhaoyuan is finally able to go out today.

Seeing that no one was guarding the yard anymore, she realized that what her mother had said last night was true.

Her mother really stopped stopping her from seeing Qu Shen. She was going to tell him the good news today: her mother would no longer stop them!

Once he comes to the mansion to meet his family and everyone knows that he is a trustworthy person, they can be together.

Gu Huan'er deliberately didn't go to the Yun Prince's residence today. She remembered what her cousin had said yesterday: since the Yun Prince's health had almost recovered, the most important thing right now was to spend time with Zhao Yuan.

"Zhaoyuan, I happen to be free today, why don't I go with you?"

When Gu Zhaoyuan saw Gu Huan'er, she was stunned for a moment. "Aren't you going to the Prince Yun's mansion today?"

"I'm not going." Gu Huan'er waved her hand. "I want to go with you to see Young Master Qu. When I was in love with His Highness Prince Yun, you were always the one who encouraged and comforted me."

Now that you have someone you love, and I didn't even know, I feel so guilty.

Gu Zhaoyuan quickly said, "It's not your fault. I didn't tell you because I knew that if I had, everyone would have objected."

Since you're free today, let's go together. I'm sure he'll be happy.

Gu Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay!"

However, just as the two reached the door, they suddenly bumped into Jiang Ye.

"Zhaoyuan!"

Jiang Ye was dressed in an elegant blue robe. He was tall and slender with a handsome face. The moment he saw Gu Zhaoyuan, a sunny smile appeared on his face.

"I've heard that the new storybook 'The Legend of the White Snake' published in the capital is quite interesting. Since you've always enjoyed listening to stories, I thought I'd invite you to listen to it with me."

The moment Gu Zhaoyuan saw Jiang Ye, a complicated look flashed in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I made plans with Huan'er today, so I'm afraid I can't go."

Jiang Ye couldn't help but look at Gu Huan'er, who immediately felt a headache coming on and could only say apologetically:

"Young Master Jiang, I'm so sorry, as you know, I'm getting married soon, and Zhao Yuan is my good friend, so I'd like to ask her to help me choose some things."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye suddenly understood and smiled, "I understand. I've heard the news too. Congratulations! I'll come again another day."

"Good good."

Gu Huan'er nodded repeatedly, and after the person left, she couldn't help but look at Gu Zhaoyuan:

"Zhaoyuan, didn't you and Young Master Jiang have a pretty good relationship before? Your aunt wanted to arrange a marriage between you two, and you didn't object at the time?"

Zhao Yuan's engagement was actually an unspoken agreement long before, as she and Jiang Ye had known each other since childhood and their families had frequent interactions.

If it weren't for Lord Jiang's previous transfer to another post, the two of them would probably have gotten married last year.

Now that Lord Jiang has been transferred back, everyone thought they were going to have a happy occasion, but who would have thought that it would end up like this?

"I know you're not the type to change your mind easily. Has something happened?"

Gu Huan'er could tell from Gu Zhaoyuan's expression that things weren't that simple, so she asked him in detail.

"Actually, I don't understand why he would come to me when he has already changed his mind and even consummated his marriage with another girl. Could it be... that he's planning to make that girl his concubine after we get married?"

Gu Zhaoyuan gave a self-deprecating laugh, but her eyes reddened slightly, which she forced back.

“I always thought he wasn’t that kind of person, but I never expected that he would turn out the same. In that case, I might as well marry an ordinary man.”

"what?"

Gu Huan'er's eyes widened. The sudden news left her mind blank for a moment, wondering if she had misheard.

"Jiang Ye is having an affair? Do your uncle and aunt know about this?"

Gu Zhaoyuan shook her head. "It was that girl who came to me on her own initiative. She said she rescued Jiang Ye in the mountains. The two of them, a lone man and a lone woman, ended up living under the same roof and thus became husband and wife."

She knew Jiang Ye was engaged, and that he had no intention of breaking off the engagement, so she didn't want her to reveal it.

"When I first heard about it, I didn't believe it. I even sent someone to the Jiang family to inquire. That girl really is Jiang Ye's savior."

"So this girl came all this way just to get you and Jiang Ye to break off your engagement?"

Gu Huan'er looked indignant. "So, she's quite ambitious. She's not satisfied with being a concubine in the Jiang family. She came all the way here to tell you that she wants to be Jiang Ye's legal wife."

Zhaoyuan, you mustn't be fooled by this kind of person. Some girls will do anything to marry into a good family.

What if she's lying? Wouldn't it be such a waste of your childhood friendship with Jiang Ye, which you've shared for so many years?

“I did think that maybe she was lying to me, but that day I went to find Jiang Ye, intending to ask him about it, but I saw them hugging each other…”

Gu Zhaoyuan's deep eyes were filled with a hint of emotion. "Forget it, things have already come to this point. There's no point in me saying anything more. It would only make me look like a joke."

There are so many heartless men in this world, I just never thought he would be like this. Even if what they say is true, that I'll have no worries about food and clothing after I marry him, but I..."
