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

As soon as Song Ruozhen finished speaking, Gu Zhaoyuan immediately understood her meaning.

"Cousin, do you mean that all of this might have been fabricated by her just to make me break off the engagement?"

But I saw them hugging with my own eyes, and that's why I left in disappointment.

Before Song Ruozhen could speak, Gu Huan'er said, "I'm familiar with this kind of thing!"

Gu Zhaoyuan and Song Ruozhen exchanged a glance, then turned their gazes to Gu Huan'er, wondering how familiar she was with this kind of thing.

"When you saw them hugging, how long did they hug? Did Jiang Ye push her away at the end, or did he say anything?"

Gu Zhaoyuan shook her head, "I only saw them hugging, so I left."

"Yes! That's the problem."

Gu Huan'er clapped her hands, "When I was in love with Prince Yun before, I saw many girls trying all sorts of ways to throw themselves into his arms."

Some people deliberately fell down next to Yun Wang, hoping that Yun Wang would catch them; others pretended to be drunk. In short, all sorts of methods were used.

What if you actually witnessed a similar situation? Wouldn't that have been a misunderstanding?

Some people suggested she use this method, but she wasn't thick-skinned enough to actually do it...

Gu Zhaoyuan carefully recalled the previous situation and was a little uncertain for a moment. At that time, she never thought that such a thing might be a misunderstanding.

If that's the case, then wouldn't she be the most outrageous person from beginning to end?

"Let's go, we'll ask you more questions when we get back," Song Ruozhen said.

Qu Shen stood quietly to the side, not daring to move, hoping they would leave soon.

However, all hope vanished the moment he met Song Ruozhen's gaze.

"You can forget about staying here any longer. I've converted you, so it's impossible for you to harm anyone again."

Song Ruozhen made a hand gesture and chanted incantations, and golden talismans slowly appeared, enveloping Qu Shen completely.

The wisps of black energy completely dissipated at that moment, accompanied by Qu Shen's screams of agony, as his cultivation over the past two years vanished completely.

Gu Huan'er and Gu Zhaoyuan watched as the black aura in the cemetery gradually dissipated and returned to its normal state, while Qu Shen's ghost was gradually purified and transformed back into his original scholar appearance.

"Although I have reformed you, your nature is truly wicked, and you almost killed my cousin. It is impossible not to punish you."

A cold glint appeared in Song Ruozhen's eyes. The reason she converted Qu Shen was not to help him, but to prevent him from having the opportunity to harm others.

"May you be reborn as an animal in your next life!"

Qu Shen's eyes widened in disbelief. He opened his mouth to argue, but Song Ruozhen slapped him away.

Gu Huan'er and Gu Zhaoyuan exchanged a glance, only then realizing that their cousin's abilities were far more impressive than they had imagined!

These methods... you'll only know if you see them for yourself!

"How could I possibly have such an amazing cousin like you!"

Gu Huan'er hugged Song Ruozhen excitedly, her heart overflowing with joy. This scene today would stay with her for the rest of her life!

Gu Zhaoyuan nodded in deep agreement. Everything that happened today felt like a dream. Her cousin was truly amazing!

"Alright, alright, now that the matter has been investigated and cleared up, we should go back. I'm afraid my uncle and aunt are still worried."

Song Ruozhen thought that her aunt was losing her appetite and was afraid that something might have happened to Zhaoyuan. She was probably still worried and anxious. It would be good to go back as soon as possible so that they could all feel at ease.

"This time it's all my fault. I made them worry."

Gu Zhaoyuan's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She secretly made up her mind that she would apologize to her parents when she got back and would never do anything to hurt them again.

Gu Mansion.

"Madam, please don't worry. Since Ruozhen said nothing will happen, then nothing will happen."

Seeing his wife's restless appearance, Gu Qingyan couldn't help but speak up: "You didn't rest all night yesterday, go and get some sleep first, otherwise your body won't be able to take it."

"How can I possibly sleep now? I really can't understand how Zhaoyuan, who has always been well-behaved and rarely makes friends with others, could be entangled with such an ominous thing?"

Xu Rao frowned. Although she had considered that it might be Tong Shu's doing, she couldn't think of any other possibility.

However, she also thought that the other person was just a girl who grew up in the countryside, how could she possibly have such methods?

"This matter is indeed strange, but the methods used in this area are beyond our knowledge. Let's wait patiently, and Ruozhen will find out."

Gu Qingyan thought about his niece's abilities, which he had witnessed firsthand. Such a thing would be incredibly difficult for them, but his niece had a way to solve it.

Fortunately, Ruozhen was there; otherwise, they would not have been able to escape this calamity alone.

"I hope so. We all have to rely on Ruozhen." Xu Rao clasped her hands together and prayed silently. She added, "I even bought a set of jewelry today. Ruozhen has been working so hard for our family. I don't know what to give her in return."

Gu Qingyan knew his wife's temperament; she would never let others suffer a loss, much less take advantage of others for nothing.

"Ruozhen is kind-hearted and good to her family. You are her maternal aunt, so she will definitely like whatever you give her."

Besides, neither the Chu Prince's Mansion nor the Song family lacks money; what doesn't she have?

Gu Qingyan chuckled. Normally, whenever something new or interesting appeared, the Prince of Chu would probably buy it right away. Even if he didn't buy it, Ruozhen's four older brothers would buy it for her.

To be honest, these elders didn't have much to offer Ruozhen.

"After investigating Qu Shen's matter, I feel that he died a truly deserved death. He was originally quite talented and good-looking. If he had married properly, he could have lived a good life even as an accountant."

But he was so infatuated with beautiful women that he seduced respectable women everywhere, and he deserved his fate!

Gu Qingyan thought about the information he had investigated, and the thought that this kind of person was still clinging to his daughter even after death made him feel very frustrated.

Just then, a servant came to announce their arrival.

"Master, Madam, Miss, Miss Huan'er, and Princess Chu have all returned together."

Upon hearing this, the two men's eyes lit up, and they immediately stood up and went outside to greet him.

"Father, mother."

Looking at her parents who had worked so hard for her, Gu Zhaoyuan felt a surge of guilt.

"Your daughter is unfilial and has caused you all worry!"

Seeing that Gu Zhaoyuan was about to kneel down, Xu Rao quickly helped her up, saying, "We're all family, what are you doing?"

Gu Zhaoyuan's eyes reddened, and all the grievances mixed with regret could no longer be held back at this moment, and she burst into tears.
