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

Gu Zhaoyuan was in a terrible mood.

Actually, she had been in a bad mood for a while.

From eagerly anticipating Jiang Ye's return to the moment when Miss Tong told her that they had already consummated their marriage.

Jiang Ye was the person she had kept in her heart for so many years. She never thought that he would betray her one day, keeping a mistress before their marriage and even trying to hide it from her and the entire Gu family.

She silently shed tears for this. She originally wanted to talk to Huan'er about it, but seeing the incident in the military camp and Huan'er's constant worry about Prince Yun, she couldn't bring herself to speak. She could only think about it to herself in silence.

However, the more she thought about it, the sadder she became. All her expectations had vanished, and she even wished she could hide away so she wouldn't have to face any of this.

It was at this very moment that she met Qu Shen in her dream.

He was gentle and kind, like a spring breeze, and had the patience to listen to her pain and troubles.

Gradually, she became immersed in this tenderness, feeling that this man seemed to be able to accept everything about her and give her a sense of security.

Although her family was poor, she didn't think that was the most important thing.

I never expected... it was all fake, a deadly trap!

Listening to Song Ruozhen and Gu Huan'er's words of comfort, she suddenly felt that things weren't so bad after all.

"Do my parents already know?" Gu Zhaoyuan asked.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "After learning about the situation last night, my uncle went to investigate Qu Shen's situation. He was a playboy in life, and the reason he died was because he seduced a married woman."

He was buried here by his family after his death, but even in death he didn't rest, wanting to find a beautiful woman to accompany him.

“My aunt went to tell me the news first thing this morning, afraid that something might happen to you.”

Gu Zhaoyuan felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling an indescribable regret.

"I'm so useless, making my parents worry so much about me."

Song Ruozhen patted Gu Zhaoyuan on the shoulder, "Your uncle and aunt care about you the most. As long as you are alright, that is the best news for them."

You don't need to feel guilty. Everyone makes mistakes. This isn't a big mistake.

However… there is still one very important thing to do right now.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhaoyuan and Gu Huan'er both looked at Song Ruozhen, wondering what else needed to be done.

"This lustful fiend has already come up with such methods. Although you are safe and sound this time, he will not let it go."

If we don't get rid of him, other girls will surely lose their lives because of him!

Song Ruozhen's eyes turned slightly cold. "Besides, we need to investigate whether there are other reasons why he suddenly started pestering you."

If someone knows of his existence and deliberately tries to frame you…

"No way?" Gu Huan'er exclaimed in shock. "Who would have such a deep grudge against Zhao Yuan? Someone who would actually take a life!"

Song Ruozhen looked at Gu Zhaoyuan and asked, "Is there anyone on your mind?"

"No." Gu Zhaoyuan shook her head. "I usually get along well with people. Even if I encounter someone I don't like, I will at most have less contact with them, and I will not directly break off relations."

I simply cannot imagine who could be so cruel as to want my life.

Gu Huan'er suddenly thought of someone and said, "Could it be Jiang Ye's mistress?"

"Jiang Ye has a mistress?"

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. She had only heard her aunt say that he had a savior, but there was no other connection between them except to repaying the debt of gratitude.

So this guy had a mistress?

"She is Jiang Ye's savior. I heard about her from Zhao Yuan today. She said that the girl came specifically to tell me that she and Jiang Ye had a marital affair and hoped that Zhao Yuan could tolerate her."

Gu Huan'er pursed her lips. "If you ask me, this girl is cunning. If she were really that naive, she would never have engaged in an affair without a matchmaker, let alone take the initiative to come to Zhao Yuan to talk about this."

This is no good thing, and it's embarrassing to even mention it. She doesn't actually want Zhao Yuan to allow her into the family; she clearly wants to ruin her marriage with Jiang Ye.

Song Ruozhen then realized that this matter was clearly different from what her aunt had said.

"My aunt mentioned this to me today, saying that Jiang Ye was grateful to Tong Shu for saving the people and gave her a sum of money to go to the capital to find her relatives. There is no other connection between them."

"What?" Gu Zhaoyuan asked in surprise, then shook her head. "Jiang Ye probably wants to keep this a secret. After all, this marriage was arranged by both sets of parents over many years, and he is not someone who is willing to go against his elders."

I didn't believe he would do such a thing before, and I even went to find him to ask him directly, but I ended up seeing him hugging Miss Tong, so I didn't ask any more questions.

"Zhaoyuan, you still can't handle this temper of yours. If it were me, I would have to find out the truth no matter what!"

Gu Huan'er couldn't help but frown. "To be honest, it's my fault. I've been too busy lately and haven't been able to take care of you."

If I had known, I would have gone with you then and there. I would have asked you no matter what. If Jiang Ye really wronged you, why should you suffer in silence?

They should let the Jiang family know that it was Jiang Ye who wronged you!

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "I think Huan'er is right. If that's really the case, you should ask her for clarification."

This matter not only concerns your long-standing relationship, but also the friendship between the Gu and Jiang families. If they are at fault, they should admit it, but..."

"But what?" Gu Zhaoyuan asked.

Song Ruozhen just did some quick calculations and realized that this matter differed from what Gu Zhaoyuan had said.

"Things are probably not as you think."

"Why is it different?"

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly, "No rush, we'll deal with things one by one. Right now, let's deal with this lecherous bastard who's taking lives and find out whether his harassment of you was an accident or something someone did on purpose."

The next moment, Song Ruozhen made a hand seal with her left hand and drew a talisman in the air with her right hand.

As a talisman gradually took shape in his hand, a golden light seemed to flash by, and then the three of them heard a scream.

"what--"

The piercing screams were particularly eerie, and the perfectly good grave looked as if it had been struck by lightning, with the ground in front of it cracking inch by inch.

"Then Qu Shen's ghost has appeared?" Gu Huan'er clung tightly to Song Ruozhen. She couldn't see anything, but the situation before her gave her this guess.

After all, they really heard that sound.

“Right in front of you.”

Song Ruozhen looked at the ugly demon in front of her with her clear eyes, and ran her fingers over the eyes of Gu Huan'er and Gu Zhaoyuan.

"Open your Yin-Yang Eyes!"

The next instant, Gu Zhaoyuan and Gu Huan'er found that the scene in front of them had suddenly changed!
