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

“Yesterday, your son caused trouble at the Prince of Yun’s wedding banquet. My son only took action to prevent him from getting into serious trouble. He only knocked him unconscious and didn’t hurt him at all.”

As for what happened later, well, that's your son's fault for marrying the wrong person.

Song Lin replied matter-of-factly, "Your son went to the wedding banquet with Wang Xue yesterday, so it's only natural that everyone let them go back together."

As for what happened later, that's your and Wang Xue's responsibility, it has nothing to do with my son!

"Song Lin, you're just spouting nonsense! If your son hadn't knocked my son unconscious, Wang Xue wouldn't have had a chance to do anything!"

Yuan Qing would never do such a thing. If he hadn't been drugged yesterday, he wouldn't be in this state!

Xu Jianheng's face was extremely ugly. He still thought highly of this son and was hoping that he would pass the imperial examination next time. Now, this has happened, and he may never be able to take the imperial examination again.

Most importantly, the doctor said that Yuan Qing's ability to have sexual relations in the future will depend on his own condition after this shock.

This was like a bolt from the blue!

Ever since he heard the news, he has been regretting it. If he had known it would turn out this way, he wouldn't have gone last night.

At most, we would have let Wang Xue in, but now things have turned out differently!

"That's because your son was unlucky in love. They've known each other for many years, haven't they? How can you blame us for this?"

Song Lin remained defiant, believing the whole thing to be a joke. He thought Wang Xue had already planned ahead and that even if she hadn't acted last night, she would have done so soon.

"Xu Jianheng, don't try to make trouble. It's your business if you want to salvage your son's reputation, but don't try to use my son as a stepping stone."

The Song family isn't stupid. If you're dissatisfied, you can file a complaint with the emperor; I'm ready to oblige!

Song Zhiyu was taken aback when he heard that the blame had been placed on him, thinking that the other party was being unreasonable. However, before he could even speak, his father had silenced the other party.

Gu Ruyan's eyes were filled with a sense of satisfaction as she looked at Song Lin with delight. It's always better when a man is at home!

Previously, when Song Lin was away fighting, she had to handle many things. Now that Song Lin is back, she no longer needs to worry about these things.

After all, Song Lin is reasonable, and if he can't reason with her, he's also good with his fists, so she doesn't need to worry about him.

When Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting arrived, they discovered there was another carriage behind them.

The people who stepped down from the carriage were Prince Yun and Gu Huan'er. They had just returned from the palace when they learned of Xu Yuanqing's predicament and that the Xu family had come to the Song family to cause trouble. They rushed over immediately.

"Cousin, I'm so sorry. I never expected Xu Yuanqing and Wang Xue to do such a thing and even blame it on Third Cousin!"

Gu Huan'er looked embarrassed, because this whole thing was caused by her.

She had no idea that Wang Xue and Xu Yuanqing had this kind of relationship. The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Wang Xue had been trying to set her up with Yuanqing, but who would have thought that after just a short time apart, they had developed to this point.

"What are you thinking? This is none of your business!"

Song Ruozhen chuckled. If the Xu family makes a scene over this, they will be the ones who lose face in the end.

"Lord Xu, instead of wasting your time causing trouble here, you should first find the imperial physician to give Young Master Xu a proper medical check-up."

This sudden stroke is quite dangerous. Even if he survives, it will leave him with significant long-term health problems. If we don't find a way to deal with it, his future will be ruined.

Song Ruozhen did some quick calculations and realized that Xu Yuanqing's fate had changed in just one day.

What happened last night was his downfall!

Upon hearing this, Xu Jianheng instinctively wanted to curse, but when he turned around and saw that it was Princess Chu, he immediately swallowed his words, feeling an indescribable sense of frustration.

The next moment, he noticed Gu Huan'er, his face turning ashen, and said:

“Princess Yun, over the years our Xu family has never wronged you, and Yuan Qing has grown up with you since childhood.”

He shouldn't have talked nonsense while drunk yesterday, but now that this has happened, how innocent is he?

Gu Huan'er's expression was complicated as she said, "I warned Yuan Qing before not to get too close to Wang Xue, but he didn't listen."

“Lord Xu, every time I saw Young Master Xu, Miss Wang was always by his side. It’s obvious that it was a mutual affair.”

If they didn't have feelings for each other, why would a young woman give everything to him before marriage?

"To be honest, it was your sudden appearance that startled him, which led to this whole mess."

Xu Jianheng choked, looking at the Song family, which was now at its peak, and realized that it was indeed not comparable to what it used to be!

He didn't intend to make the Song family pay a heavy price; he just wanted to take this opportunity to salvage Yuan Qing's reputation. But the Song family was like a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard, refusing to say a single soft word.

Just then, a servant rushed over.

"Master, something has happened to the young master!"

Xu Jianheng's expression changed slightly. "What happened?"

"After waking up today, the young master was filled with shame and indignation. Just then, the two young masters said some unpleasant things, and then... the third young master committed suicide!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. They never expected that Xu Yuanqing would commit suicide.

"How is Yuan Qing now?" Xu Jianheng asked anxiously.

"I don't know either, Madam is calling you to go back quickly!"

Seeing this, Xu Jianheng disregarded everything else and rushed back to the Xu family home.

Seeing this, Song Lin and the others also fell silent. It was indeed shameful for this matter to be spread, but at most they would be ridiculed for a while. After all, shameful things happened all the time in the capital.

Who would have thought things would escalate to suicide? It would be a pity if Xu Yuanqing really died like this.

"How did things turn out like this?"

Gu Huan'er's face was pale. Although she had no romantic feelings for Xu Yuanqing, they had grown up together since childhood and their friendship remained.

Even though they had grown distant, she still hoped that Xu Yuanqing could live a good life. Even if he married Wang Xue, it wouldn't be so bad. Their relationship should be much stronger than an arranged marriage.

However, not long after Xu Jianheng returned home, Madam Xu came to the Song residence.

"Princess Consort of Chu, please save my son!"

As soon as Madam Xu entered, she immediately knelt down.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, and Gu Ruyan quickly stepped forward to help the person up.

"Madam Xu, let's talk this out, don't do this."

Madam Xu's eyes were red, and tears streamed down her face as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Yuan Qing had a moment of despair today and attempted suicide. By the time we found him, he was almost dead."

We called a doctor to take a look, and they found that he was still breathing, but he couldn't wake up no matter what they did. They said that his soul might have left and they needed to summon it back..."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood that Madam Xu had come here so that Ruozhen could perform a soul-summoning ritual!

"I know how powerful the Princess Consort of Chu is. Now only you can save Yuan Qing. I beg you, I will do anything you ask if you can save him!"
