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

Looking at Gu Huan'er, whose face was flushed red, Xu Yuanqing couldn't help but say, "She has never said that to me before."

"What do you mean?" Gu Huan'er asked, puzzled.

"She kept telling me that I liked her, but I just wanted to test her and hoped that I would be more sincere."

Xu Yuanqing recalled everything that had happened before. Back when Gu Huan'er first rejected him, he felt a deep sense of defeat and sadness.

Actually, he hadn't been unaware of this answer, because his mother had suggested it to the Gu family before, but they hadn't agreed, so it wasn't hard to guess Huan'er's attitude.

However, Wang Xue kept telling him that things were not like that.

She said Huan'er was just being reserved like a young lady, and she wanted to test her more to confirm his sincerity.

Wang Xue repeatedly encouraged him, telling him that he had to marry Huan'er no matter what. Even yesterday, it was Wang Xue who urged him to attend Huan'er's wedding.

"What?" Gu Huan'er was taken aback.

"I thought she was close to you and that what she said wouldn't be false, which is why I never gave up."

Xu Yuanqing suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Wang Xue all along!

“Your Highness, I am truly sorry. I was ignorant and deceived before. It had nothing to do with Huan’er. She rejected me from the very beginning.”

Xu Yuanqing bowed apologetically to Chu Yungui. He now understood everything and knew how much trouble his actions had caused Huan'er.

They could have been friends, but things have escalated to this point.

Chu Yungui raised an eyebrow and said, "I know my queen's temperament very well."

Besides, there's no comparison between you and me, and I won't doubt Huan'er because of you.

From the very beginning, he knew about the relationship between Huan'er and Xu Yuanqing, but he never expected that the boy would be so foolish as to be completely fooled by a girl.

Xu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, everyone saw through Wang Xue's trick. The relationship between the Gu family and the Xu family would not have become so awkward, all thanks to Wang Xue!

"Get out! If you ever dare to show your face in the Xu family again, I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Xu's eldest son's face turned ashen. What a joke that a woman like this even wanted to enter the Xu family!

"No, no..." Wang Xue panicked and knelt down anxiously.

"Now the entire capital knows I work for Yuan Qing. You can't just shirk your responsibilities!"

If she can't stay in the Xu family, and is sent back, she'll really have no way to survive!

"You drugged my son, and now you're forcing us to let you into our family? According to your logic, you can just drug whichever young man you fancy and marry him off smoothly?"

Madam Xu sneered, "You really have a good plan, but let me tell you, it's impossible!"

"Go ahead and report us to the authorities! You framed Yuan Qing; let's see if we don't hold your Wang family accountable!"

Lord Xu nodded. They would never allow a woman like that to enter the house!

However, Xu Yuanqing suddenly spoke up: "I want to report this to the authorities!"

There was a moment of silence after he said that.

All eyes fell on Xu Yuanqing, filled with astonishment.

"Yuan Qing, are you telling the truth?"

Madam Xu's expression changed. She had only said it casually. Usually, when this kind of thing happened to a man, everyone would suppress their displeasure and marry the girl.

In any case, given Wang Xue's status, if she causes such a scene, at most she'll become a concubine; becoming her principal wife is absolutely out of the question!

But if this matter gets taken to the authorities, it will likely become the talk of the town!

"What I said is true!"

Xu Yuanqing was resolute. He had made up his mind as soon as his soul left his body. Since he had already lost face and the whole capital knew about the joke, why should he be afraid of being laughed at again?

He was no longer going to act like a fool, constantly being fooled by Wang Xue. This time, he even had to let her into the family to save face and to fulfill his responsibilities as a man.

It shouldn't be like this!

"Although I am a man, I am indeed a victim this time. Even if it costs me my life, I will report this to the authorities!"

A strange light flashed in Song Ruozhen's eyes; she hadn't expected Xu Yuanqing to suddenly become so assertive.

"Jun Ting, has there ever been such a case in the capital?"

“No.” Chu Junting shook his head, but a smile appeared in his eyes. “However, I think he’s right. He was drugged and murdered, and his reputation was ruined.”

Wang Xue certainly deserves to pay the price; if the government accepts the case, it will cause a city-wide sensation.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what he did. Men and women are equal. After these two got together, there was really no affection between them. Instead, they became complete enemies."

Song Ruozhen and the others did not stay at the Xu family's house for long and left quickly, after all, the Xu family still had a lot of mess to clean up.

"Brother, do you think Xu Yuanqing can win?"

A playful glint flashed in Chu Yungui's eyes. This kind of thing sounded really strange. "However, I always thought that Xu Yuanqing lacked a bit of masculinity. Today's decision has made me look at him in a different light."

“Wang Xue knows his temper and thinks he’s easy to manipulate, which is why she’s targeting him. This case is easy to handle, and we should win,” Chu Junting said.

"If we really win, it will definitely cause a huge uproar in the capital."

Chu Yungui chuckled, somewhat expectant. He was pleased to see Wang Xue receive the punishment she deserved, knowing that Wang Xue must have also tried to harm Huan'er.

On their way back, the group happened to pass by the Song family's teahouse.

Today, this is the largest teahouse in the capital, and even so, business is still booming every day, with tickets in high demand.

Many people lined up early in order to get tickets.

"The next chapter of the Legend of the White Snake was released today, and those in the know rushed to buy tickets last night. We're too late now, there's nothing left."

"I heard that the story of the White Snake was written by the Princess of Chu. The Princess of Chu is truly a remarkable person. Not only is she capable herself, but the stories she creates are also exceptionally interesting."

Looking at the lively scene, Gu Huan'er couldn't help but exclaim, "Cousin, your story is so captivating! I heard someone tell it to me last time, and it's so addictive!"

Song Ruozhen looked at Gu Huan'er in front of her, her brows furrowing slightly, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

"Cousin, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Have you been feeling unwell these past two days?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Yesterday, when Huan'er got married, everything seemed normal, but today she noticed that her appearance had changed.

However, after careful observation, she couldn't find the source of this change, which was rather strange.

Gu Huan'er was slightly taken aback, then shook her head and said, "No."

The thought that she might be pregnant came to her mind, but she naturally couldn't say it in front of the prince.

If it's not true, wouldn't I be laughed at to death?
