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

"When I first started dreaming about Qu Shen, he was just listening to me talk, and I didn't have any feelings for him. But later, things gradually changed..."

Gu Zhaoyuan carefully recalled the circumstances of her meeting Qu Shen in her dream, which was also a gradual process.

From the first day she dreamed of him, she dreamed of him every day after that. From their initial chance encounter to his companionship, listening to her, and comforting her, she realized that Qu Shen was truly a good person.

Everything in her dream was different from reality; everything became dreamlike and illusory, and Qu Shenyu appeared even more handsome than before.

In her dream, she almost forgot her sadness and grief and began to look forward to the days that Qu Shen had described. That's why she mustered up the courage to leave the city when Qu Shen asked her to meet him outside the city.

Looking back on it all now, she suddenly feels as if it all happened in a daze, her mind was not clear at all, and after reflecting on it, she even began to doubt why she would do such a thing. It shouldn't be like this!

Given her personality, she shouldn't have done something like this, but she did it anyway...

Seeing Gu Zhaoyuan's confused expression, Song Ruozhen guessed what she was thinking and said:

"It's not your fault. These lustful devils have a set of tricks for seducing and luring people. It's like you've been cursed. Once you come into contact with him in your dreams, you'll gradually sink into depravity."

Even if you are not usually like this, and would never do such a thing, you will still become addicted to it because of his methods.

This isn't your fault. Anyone else, unless they're a member of our Xuanmen sect, would have reacted the same way.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhaoyuan finally understood. "So that's how it is. I now realize that my previous reaction was really strange. I didn't even bother to explain myself and just talked back to my parents."

Thinking about it carefully, although my parents were unwilling, what they said wasn't wrong.

"Zhaoyuan, this guy planned to let you elope from the very beginning. He's a ghost and can't leave this place. It's all the work of an evil ghost!"

You were completely misled before; you're only just waking up.

At this moment, Gu Huan'er truly witnessed the terrifying methods of ghosts. No wonder everyone was so afraid when they talked about vengeful spirits taking lives. She now realized how terrifying it really was!

"Qu Shen, think carefully about the girls you've been in contact with lately. Is there one named Tong Shu?"

Song Ruozhen looked at the guy in front of her and said casually, "If you think it through, I can convert you before you kill any innocent people. If you don't listen to my advice, then I'll have to make sure your soul is scattered."

"Grandma, I'll tell you everything, please don't let me die!"

Qu Shen looked at Song Ruozhen, who was radiating golden light, with fear in his eyes.

From the moment he saw Song Ruozhen, he knew he was no match for her. He had been thinking of running away, but a single talisman trapped him here, rendering him completely immobile.

One talisman is enough to immobilize him; if he dares to resist, he will definitely die.

"The girl you mentioned, is she the one who likes to wear blue dresses? I remember a country girl passing by my grave on her way, with a richly dressed young man in front of her."

I found it strange at the time; these two didn't look like they belonged to the same group, yet they were walking together.

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen and the other two exchanged glances and immediately understood.

It really was them!

"When that girl passed by my grave, her fingers happened to be covered with a little bit of my incense ash. I thought to myself that she was quite pretty and it wouldn't be bad if she could be my beautiful bride."

However, since then, I've never been able to enter her dreams; instead, I've entered this girl's dreams.

Qu Shen looked at Gu Zhaoyuan in front of him. Gu Zhaoyuan was much prettier than that girl!

He thought it was a great blessing that a noble lady, whom he could never have been close to in life, could become his person after death. He was overjoyed.

Who would have thought... that he would almost lose his life!

"It seems it really is Tong Shu."

Song Ruozhen understood immediately; what a coincidence!

"Ever since I found out that her relationship with Jiang Ye was unusual, I planned to marry Jiang Ye again. Why did she do this to me?"

Gu Zhaoyuan could hardly believe it. After learning that Tong Shu and Jiang Ye had become husband and wife, she was only angry that Jiang Ye had lied to her, and she had never thought of targeting Tong Shu.

After all, the biggest fault in this matter lies with Jiang Ye. Tong Shu had no idea that he had a fiancée, so there was no way he had wronged her.

But... how could Tong Shu, who seems so gentle and kind, use such methods to harm her?

"Zhaoyuan, you're thinking way too simply!"

Gu Huan'er couldn't help but sigh, "I knew Tong Shu wasn't a good person. She just had her eye on Jiang Ye."

Think about it, she's just a peasant girl who, by sheer chance, saved a wealthy young master. Naturally, she wants to seize this opportunity to enter the Jiang family and enjoy a life of luxury!

Gu Zhaoyuan asked in confusion, "Even without me, Jiang Ye would still marry someone else. He couldn't possibly marry a peasant girl as his legal wife."

Given their backgrounds, their wives would definitely be from families of equal social standing.

No matter what, the Jiang family would never allow a peasant girl to become Jiang Ye's legal wife; it would ruin his future.

Tong Shu could only be a concubine, which was why she hadn't thought much about it before.

"Since Tong Shu could see that Qu Shen was a lustful devil who could take your life, it proves that she also has some understanding of metaphysics."

If the wives the Jiang family arranged for Jiang Ye to marry died one after another before the marriage, and then a fortune teller came along and said that she was Jiang Ye's destined benefactor and the Jiang family's lucky star, what would happen if she were the one to die?

Only she can keep this under control. What do you think the Jiang family's attitude will be then?

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. This kind of thing would indeed be difficult under normal circumstances, but if we use metaphysical methods to solve it, it becomes much simpler!

Gu Zhaoyuan understood, her face turned extremely pale, and she said blankly:

"In this way, they will not only not be dissatisfied with Tong Shu's identity, but will also treat her as a treasure in the family and be careful in everything they do."

Even other powerful families would think that the Jiang family was fortunate to have her; she was the one who broke the Jiang family's deadlock!

"So, just because I'm engaged to Jiang Ye, she wants to kill me! She's gone too far!"

Gu Huan'er also felt that Tong Shu was really ruthless. "We need to clarify this matter as soon as possible. We can't let Tong Shu harm people like this!"

The thought that someone like her could have saved Jiang Ye's life is terrifying!

“Zhaoyuan, you should ask about Jiang Ye’s matter when you get back. Now that you know Tong Shu is this kind of person, I’m afraid what she told you before may not be true.”
