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

Song Lin scoffed, "That old bastard Xu Jianheng just came to cause trouble, trying to use my son as a stepping stone."

"So, he's come to ask my daughter for help, but he's too embarrassed to show up himself, so he sent his wife instead?"

Seeing Song Lin's displeased expression, Gu Ruyan glanced at him helplessly. She knew Song Lin's temperament very well, and what he said was indeed true.

Xu Jianheng had just come over to settle accounts, but now that he needs their help, he doesn't seem inclined to apologize. Instead, he specifically sent his wife, clearly indicating that he doesn't think they would bully a woman.

"General Song, I apologize on behalf of my master. He was too anxious before and wanted to salvage Yuan Qing's reputation."

Yuanqing was usually very filial, and his father liked him very much. Now that his good reputation was ruined, his father was heartbroken.

Madam Xu looked guilty. "Parents always have the same heart. Actually, it's our fault. We could tell Wang Xue wasn't a good person before, but we didn't remind Yuan Qing enough."

I thought Yuan Qing didn't like Wang Xue at all, so I didn't need to worry about anything happening. Who would have thought...

Everyone understood, since in such matters it was usually the girl who suffered the injustice, and Xu Yuanqing, being a man, couldn't possibly be in much trouble.

Who would have thought that not only did they run into trouble, but they also became a laughingstock?

"Princess Consort of Chu, please go and see Yuan Qing. He has indeed made a mistake, but he is not a bad person and his crime does not warrant death."

Seeing this, Gu Huan'er couldn't help but look at Song Ruozhen, "Cousin, if it's convenient, could you go and take a look?"

Song Ruozhen stood up. Summoning a spirit was a piece of cake for her. She slowly began to speak:

“I can go and see, but Lord Xu must apologize to my father, and you must also make it clear to the outside world that this matter has nothing to do with my third brother!”

Of course, you must pay the due compensation; if you can't, then you should find someone else!

She wasn't very kind; this whole thing was Xu Jianheng making trouble out of nothing, trying to drag the Song family into it.

She naturally wouldn't show her face unless she was given a reasonable explanation.

Madam Xu nodded repeatedly, "Definitely, definitely!"

Seeing this, Song Lin's expression softened a bit. It wasn't exactly a deep-seated hatred, so he said to Song Ruozhen, "Go and see if you can save them. Don't make things difficult for yourself."

Xu Mansion.

When Song Ruozhen and her group arrived, they heard a noisy commotion inside, mixed with some words like "shameless".

"Wang Xue, you shameless slut! You've almost killed my brother, and what are you doing here?"

"No wonder Yuan Qing hasn't taken a liking to you all these years. You're truly shameless and unscrupulous in climbing the social ladder!"

When Madam Xu, who was walking in front, heard that Wang Xue had actually come today, she was even more furious and immediately rushed forward.

"You little bitch, you dare to show your face here today! If it weren't for you, Yuan Qing wouldn't be like this at all. You jinx, get out of here right now!"

Madam Xu's voice was fierce, tinged with a hint of hysterical madness.

Wang Xue was startled to see how fierce everyone in the Xu family was. She also felt extremely embarrassed after what happened last night.

She had planned to seize this opportunity to enter the Xu family, but who would have thought that her future father-in-law would witness such a thing, causing her to lose all face.

Regardless, she has already proven her innocence to Xu Yuanqing, so she must enter the Xu family!

Who would have thought that upon arriving at the Xu residence, they would be berated by a group of people, only to discover that Xu Yuanqing had committed suicide because of what happened last night!

How can this man be so spineless?

Even though it was embarrassing, she, a young woman, hadn't said anything. But when she went back yesterday, she lost face and was severely scolded by her family, who demanded that she must enter the Xu family!

That's why she rushed here today.

"Madam Xu, please let me explain. Yesterday's events were all accidents. I didn't expect it to happen like this, it wasn't intentional," Wang Xue hurriedly explained.

"Not intentional? You took advantage of my son's unconscious state, deliberately sent away the servants around him, and then drugged him to pull this stunt!"

This wasn't unintentional at all; it was clearly premeditated. You probably knew from the beginning that Yuan Qing would be heartbroken, hoping he'd get drunk and something inappropriate would happen between you!

Madam Xu's eyes were cold and sharp. She had been in the backyard for so many years, what kind of things hadn't she seen?

Even if Wang Xue were the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, she would still be unworthy of Yuan Qing, let alone being a concubine's daughter.

Wang Xue's thoughts were exposed, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, but more so, she felt ashamed and annoyed.

She gave her innocent body to Xu Yuanqing, and Xu Yuanqing didn't suffer any loss, yet now he's blaming her for everything!

“Madam Xu, you’re going too far. If Yuan Qing really has no feelings for me, then why has he been asking me to go out so often lately?”

The reason he did this was to see me. As for what happened yesterday, the reason I suggested that he not come back for the time being was because I was worried that he would get drunk and cause trouble at the Prince Yun's mansion and get completely drunk again.

He suddenly started touching me inappropriately. I'm just an innocent young woman, and now everything is ruined!

As she spoke, Wang Xue burst into tears, "No matter what, I'm Yuan Qing's person. You can't treat me like this!"

Seeing Wang Xue's attempt to shift the blame, Madam Xu was so angry she almost laughed:

"If you hadn't drugged him while he was drunk, how could he have suffered a stroke at such a young age!"

Yuan Qing was already drunk and injured. He was a weak scholar and not very strong. Yet Wang Xue still drugged him under these circumstances!

He was caught red-handed by his father while he was in a daze, which led to this incident!

“How would I know? He must be terrified!” Wang Xue said.

Upon hearing Wang Xue's words, Song Ruozhen and her group's expressions became indescribable.

"Wang Xue is truly remarkable. An ordinary girl would be so anxious and unsure of what to do in such a situation, but she doesn't panic at all."

Gu Huan'er's eyes were complicated. "I've known her for so many years, and I never knew she had this kind of temperament. Fortunately, I noticed something was wrong with her before and stopped contacting her."

Otherwise, having such a friend around would truly make one uneasy.

"Oh no! Yuan Qing seems to have stopped breathing!"

Suddenly, an anxious voice came from inside the room.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu's face showed deep panic, and she rushed into the house.

"Yuan Qing, you absolutely cannot get hurt!"

Inside the room, Lord Xu's face was ashen, a far cry from the assertive manner he displayed when he went to the Song family to demand an explanation. His eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

The pain of parents outliving their children is unbearable for any parent!

"Yuan Qing seems to have really stopped breathing, what should we do?"

Madam Xu reached out to check for breath and found that there was indeed no movement, which completely panicked her.
