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

Listening to Qing Teng's words, Song Ruozhen and Chen Xiang realized that Bai Zhi was also a girl with a tragic fate.

A few years ago, there was a famine, and many people in the countryside sold their children. Qing Teng sold herself so that her family could survive.

Bai Zhi wasn't in a time of famine. She was two years younger than Qing Teng, but her family always thought she was a money-loser. Making her marry a violent old bachelor was tantamount to sending her to her death.

“I ran into them in the capital a few days ago. Seeing my brother’s big belly made me feel disgusted.”

Bai Zhi looked disgusted. Their family was already poor, and all three sisters in the family had used their money to pay for their younger brother's betrothal.

She was the third child in her family. Her eldest sister married a butcher and was often beaten, while her second sister married an old widower. Only she was the bravest and ran away.

"Since they were such relatives, it's better that they're gone."

Song Ruozhen thought back to when she first transmigrated into the book. Although her family was in a mess, they treated her very well, which was a great blessing.

Bai Zhi nodded. "What the princess says is true."

"Then you should save this money yourself. When you get married, you can use it as a dowry!" Song Ruozhen said with a light laugh.

Bai Zhi was taken aback, and quickly said, "Your Highness, I want to follow you for the rest of my life and I don't want to get married."

"What young lady doesn't get married? If I keep making you serve me, and you end up an old maid, wouldn't that waste your whole life? Then everyone will say that I, the Princess Consort of Chu, have gone too far!"

Song Ruozhen chuckled. She knew that Bai Zhi and the others were loyal to her. It was a good thing to have such loyal servants.

"Your Highness, I am speaking from the heart. I do not wish to marry," Bai Zhi said earnestly.

"It's alright. If you don't want to get married, then stay by my side. When you find someone you love, just tell me, and I'll let you get married in style."

As Song Ruozhen spoke, she looked at Qing Teng and Chen Xiang, "You two too, don't be shy if you have someone you like."

A person unconsciously popped into Chenxiang's mind, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

Song Ruozhen noticed that Chenxiang seemed to be deep in thought. She knew that this girl had been getting along quite well with Yunyang recently.

If the two of them get together, they can indeed stay in the Prince's mansion forever.

When Qing Teng rushed home with the doctor, he saw his mother lying on the bed, her injured leg covered in bruises.

"I will definitely make that Li Xiaoniang suffer!"

However, just as they were talking, Huang Qingqing hurriedly entered the house and said, "Sister, Li Xiaoniang is here again!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuchen's face darkened. "Don't stop me this time. I'm going to beat her up right now and let her taste the feeling of having her leg broken!"

"Yu Chen, Li Xiaoniang is a shrew. If you go there now, something bad will definitely happen!"

Huang Qingqing pulled Ling Yuchen along, but how could she not want to beat up Li Xiaoniang?

Although Li Xiaoniang has been kicked out, she is still a member of the Lu family. If she causes trouble in the Lu family, how can they possibly fight against her?

"Don't worry, the princess gave me a suggestion when I came here today. I'll go out and meet her. You all go and report to the authorities now, and be quick!" Qing Teng said.

Ling Yuchen said, "I'll go right now!"

"Go through the back door, and whatever you do, don't get caught."

"Qingqing, you stay nearby and keep watch. When the officials arrive, remind me," Qing Teng said.

"Okay!" Huang Qingqing nodded.

Qing Teng then stepped out of the courtyard and looked at Li Xiaoniang in front of him, saying, "What are you doing here again?"

"Let me tell you, just give up on that idea! Qingqing will never become Lu Huai'an's concubine. If you bother us again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Li Xiaoniang scoffed, "If it weren't for Huang Qingqing, how could my son have ended up like this?"

She caused my son to receive thirty lashes and be kicked out of the Lu family. You think you can just pretend nothing happened and let it go? Not so easy!

"The reason your son was punished is because he was shameless, and the reason he was kicked out of the Lu family is because of your good daughter-in-law."

My sister was just unlucky to have been caught by you, and you still have the nerve to come here.

Qing Teng's face was cold, and she spoke even more rudely, "It's true that evil people will always be punished by evil people. A shameless mother-in-law like you deserves to meet a daughter-in-law like Song Biyun!"

These words undoubtedly struck a nerve with Li Xiaoniang, and now she feels a headache whenever she hears Song Biyun's name.

This brat must have taken some kind of tonic; her strength has increased so much that she's no match for her!

Now she desperately hopes that Song Biyun can leave, but this woman has some kind of problem and insists on clinging to Huai'an!

After much deliberation, Song Biyun realized that only by letting Huang Qingqing into the house and letting Song Biyun see Huai'an with other girls could she finally give up on the idea.

"If you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll let your mouth shut!"

When the surrounding farmers saw that Li Xiaoniang had come again, they couldn't help but feel sorry for the Huang family.

"The Huang family is really unlucky. They've been entangled with such a family. How can city people be so shameless?"

"I heard she was originally a concubine in a wealthy family, and the clothes she wore were quite expensive. Who would have thought she would behave like this?"

Soon, Huang Qingqing walked to Qing Teng's side. The two sisters looked at each other and understood each other without saying a word.

The next moment, Qing Teng cried out, "This is outrageous! Our family is honest and law-abiding, how could we run into someone like you who keeps pushing us to the limit!"

"You tried to kidnap my sister, and then you caused my mother to break her leg. Just because you're from the Lu family doesn't mean you're all that great. Are you trying to force us all to our deaths?"

Seeing that Qing Teng, who had been so aggressive just moments before, had suddenly changed her attitude, Li Xiaoniang was stunned. Even Huang Qingqing was dumbfounded, not expecting her sister to be such a good actress.

"You're the ones who refused to listen to reason and are now asking for trouble! Why didn't you just come back with my son from the beginning?"

Li Xiaoniang scoffed. Sure enough, they were just some ignorant country bumpkins. They wouldn't last long before their true colors were revealed!

"Guards, seize this woman!"

Upon seeing this scene, the leading official immediately ordered his men to arrest Li Xiaoniang.

Li Xiaoniang's face changed drastically. "Sir, are you sure you're not mistaken? Why are you arresting me?"

"Why do you want to arrest you?" the officer sneered. "When Lu Huai'an forcibly abducted a woman, the matter was brought to the authorities, and our officers convicted him."

They were only worried that his body was too weak to withstand the punishment, so they allowed him to go a few days later to be flogged.

"I never expected that instead of restraining yourselves, you would become even more outrageous! Today, you will all come with us to the yamen, and we will punish you severely!"

Before he arrived, the master had instructed him that the Princess Consort of Chu had handled this matter last time, and this time they must be severely punished as well, and they must not be let off the hook!
