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

"We've wronged you?"

Gu Zhaoyuan looked at Tong Shu in front of her, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The reason I believed Tong Shu before was because she looked simple and innocent, and when she spoke, she was timid and hesitant, with worry in her eyes, as if she had finally decided to go all out to find her.

"You told me this yourself, which is why I followed you after you left to find out what was going on, and that's when I saw you hugging Jiang Ye."

You probably knew I'd go, so you were just putting on an act for me, right?

At this moment, Gu Zhaoyuan could easily understand that it was all a trap, designed to drive a wedge between her and Jiang Ye.

She was wrong.

She actually believed it because of that deceptive face!

"I made it perfectly clear to you that day that I have absolutely no romantic feelings for you. Your actions in trying to ruin my relationship with Zhaoyuan are utterly despicable!"

Jiang Ye frowned. He was grateful for the life-saving grace, but there was no reason for him to marry her. What was originally a good relationship had now turned into an enemy relationship!

Everyone in the hall who witnessed this scene understood that it was all due to Tong Shu's selfish motives from beginning to end.

"I always knew Jiang Ye had been very good to Zhao Yuan. How could he have changed his mind just because he was injured on the way here and was saved by a girl?"

"That's good, I can finally relax."

Gu Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief. She and Zhao Yuan grew up together, and she had seen how much Zhao Yuan liked Jiang Ye when she first fell in love.

She had always thought it was wonderful that Zhaoyuan could be with her childhood sweetheart, and now that things had changed like this, she still couldn't quite believe it.

Fortunately, she had a good eye for people!

Looking at Jiang Ye in front of her, Song Ruozhen felt that her uncle and aunt had excellent judgment and had chosen a trustworthy person for Zhao Yuan.

However, the problem no longer lies with Tong Shu and Jiang Ye; Zhao Yuan needs to find a way to resolve this inner conflict.

"I went to great lengths to bring you back to the house to rest. Doesn't that count as having physical intimacy?"

I followed you to the capital, and you promised to repay me, but because you have someone to marry, you only gave me a sum of money!

Tong Shu didn't think she had done anything wrong. Looking at Gu Zhaoyuan in front of her, she really couldn't understand why this woman was still alive!

The Gu family, which was once powerful in the past, has now declined. Gu Zhaoyuan's death has dealt a significant blow to the Gu family. What exactly went wrong?

"If you really trust Young Master Jiang so much, how could you doubt him because of just a few words I said?"

This shows that your relationship is fundamentally unstable, and you are simply not good enough for Jiang Ye!

With that, Tong Shu sneered, "Jiang Ye, you still don't know, do you? The reason she's been ignoring you lately isn't because of me, but because she's fallen for another man!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Jiang Ye shouted angrily. "You've told so many lies, and now you're spreading rumors!"

"I'm spreading rumors? Why don't you ask her yourself if what I said is true or not?"

Tong Shu looked at Gu Zhaoyuan with a mocking expression. She had been keeping an eye on Gu Zhaoyuan for the past few days and had seen her walk towards Qu Shen's grave outside the city. She knew that Gu Zhaoyuan had been bewitched by Qu Shen!

That's how it was in her past life. Gu Zhaoyuan died not long after. If Gu Zhaoyuan had died, she could have entered the Jiang family through her own means!

Jiang's parents didn't believe Tong Shu's words at first, but when they saw Gu Zhaoyuan's hesitant expression, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Xu Rao and Gu Qingyan exchanged a glance, their feelings quite complicated.

In their opinion, it was best not to reveal this matter, lest it be detrimental to Zhaoyuan.

Unfortunately, Tong Shu is well aware of this matter and may not be able to cover it up, which is rather troublesome.

"You're a liar; no one can believe anything you say."

Song Ruozhen walked to Gu Zhaoyuan's side, her bright eyes gleaming coldly. "The reason you were able to save Young Master Jiang is not because you happened to be passing by, but because you set up the trap yourself."

You resorted to this tactic so you could stay in the capital and live a life of comfort, right?

The moment Tong Shu saw Song Ruozhen, her heart tightened, and for some reason she felt as if she had been seen through.

"You are... the Princess Consort of Chu?"

She thought that the only one who could possibly break Qu Shen's magic was the Princess Consort of Chu, which was something she couldn't understand after her rebirth.

In her previous life, Princess Chu died not long after marrying Marquis Lin, while Marquis Lin and Qin Shuangshuang became a loving couple, and their status in the capital rose steadily.

Even though everything in my family was the same as in my previous life after I was reborn, why have so many things in the capital changed?

When Jiang Ye and the others learned that the reason they had injured their legs was entirely orchestrated by Tong Shu, disbelief flashed in their eyes.

"Princess Consort of Chu, is everything you're saying true? Was all of this a deliberate scheme by Tong Shu?"

Madam Jiang was horrified. She said that Jiang Ye was always careful in his work, so how could he have fallen off his horse on the way back? In fact, she had even prayed to the gods and Buddhas for peace after the incident.

"Let Miss Tong tell us about this herself," Song Ruozhen said, raising her eyebrows slightly. "You first used tricks to make Young Master Jiang fall off his horse, and then became his savior."

Upon learning that he was already married, you felt resentful and took the opportunity to sabotage their relationship. As a result, you moved into the Jiang residence, taking advantage of the life-saving grace you received.

If you put in a little more effort and get Young Master Jiang to marry you, no one in the Jiang family will be your match in the future.

"Whoever dares to offend you, you can silently take their life, can't you?"

Tong Shu was horrified. She had only met Song Ruozhen for the first time, so why did the other party seem to know everything about her?

Looking at Tong Shu's luck, Song Ruozhen's clear eyes were filled with a hint of surprise. A girl from the countryside, yet her luck value was so high.

To be precise, if I hadn't intervened to save Zhaoyuan, then Tong Shu's entire plan could have been completed!

Not only that, she was even able to live a very comfortable life in the Jiang family. She turned to look at Gu Zhaoyuan, whose originally extremely dim luck had begun to gradually recover.

After a moment's thought, she understood what was going on.

It seems that... just like Lin Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang before her, Tong Shu was able to live a life of ease because she had plundered Zhao Yuan's luck.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that kind of person! I saved Young Master Jiang because he accidentally fell off his horse, and I did it out of kindness."

Even if you want to speak up for Miss Gu, you can't use that to slander me!

Tong Shu was panicked. She did have this plan. In this second life, she would definitely not live like she did in her previous life. She was determined to live a life of ease and comfort in the Jiang family!

"Whether it's slander or not, an investigation will tell."

Song Ruozhen looked at Gu Qingyan beside her. This matter didn't even require the Prince of Chu to intervene; her uncle and Lord Jiang could investigate it thoroughly.
