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

Chapter 66

Qin Zheng was already furious, and upon hearing their words, he raised his leg and kicked Qin Xiangheng.

"You worthless bastard, how could I have given birth to such an unfilial son!"

Caught off guard, Qin Xiangheng was kicked to the ground, groaned, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Heng'er!" Gu Yunwei's expression changed, and she quickly helped Qin Xiangheng up, anxiously asking, "Are you alright? Go find a doctor quickly!"

"Why bother finding a doctor? This disgraceful son is better off dead!"

Qin Zheng shouted angrily, his eyes filled with resentment. The thought of being ridiculed by his colleagues when he went to court tomorrow made him wish he could sever his father-son relationship!

"General, Heng'er was indeed in the wrong in this matter. Please calm down."

Gu Yunwei quickly spoke up, turning her gaze to the two who were deliberately stirring things up. She felt inexplicably annoyed, but could only try her best to suppress it.

She was a second wife. Although she didn't like the son born to her first wife, she couldn't bear the reputation of mistreating the child, so no matter how much she disliked him, she couldn't scold him.

"General, Heng'er has done something wrong, and he deserves to be punished as he should. However, the most important thing now is to resolve this matter."

You know Heng'er's talent; his recent articles have garnered praise from countless people in the capital.

If they miss the opportunity to take the imperial examination because of this, wouldn't that be a loss for the entire General's Mansion?

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng frowned, his anger subsiding somewhat. He had indeed been quite pleased with Qin Xiangheng's recent praise.

"This unfilial son caused Song Yi'an to go blind, and the Song family will definitely not let this go."

If he wanted to participate in the imperial examinations, he wouldn't have done something so shameful!

"Father, I truly know I was wrong. If Zhao Shuwan hadn't used all her charms to seduce me, I wouldn't have made such a mistake," Qin Xiangheng explained.

"Master, you must think of a way. If Heng'er passes the imperial examination with flying colors this spring, the General's Mansion will be even more glorious."

Gu Yunwei knew very well that Qin Zheng cared about the reputation of the General's Mansion, and he would never give up Heng'er.

As expected, Qin Zheng forgot his anger as soon as she opened her mouth.

Seeing that their father was no longer blaming Qin Xiangheng, Qin Zhiyuan and his companion became anxious.

"Father, this matter has blown up so much. If we don't teach him a lesson, won't he become even more lawless in the future?"

Qin Xiangheng gritted his teeth and glared at Qin Zhiyuan and the other man, then slapped himself hard across the face. "Dad, I will never make this mistake again!"

Qin Zheng then waved his hand and said to Qin Zhiyuan and the other man, "You two go back first, I will handle this matter."

Qin Xiangheng's eyes gleamed with smugness. This guy who's lost his mother still wants to compete with him?

Once he passes the imperial examination, I'll kick those two eyesores out!

Qin Shuangshuang originally planned to go treasure hunting with Lin Zhiyue that night, and then pay off the silver and buy more shops.

With so much money, as long as she manages the Lin family well, things will definitely get better and better. Even without Song Ruozhen, she can still live a good life!

However, before they could even set off, they received a message from the Qin family, which frightened her so much that she hurriedly returned to the Qin residence.

As the nanny serving Gu Yunwei explained the whole story, Qin Shuangshuang's face turned extremely ugly.

She wasn't unaware of Qin Xiangheng and Zhao Shuwan's affair; it had happened in her previous life too, but it hadn't been exposed.

After Qin Xiangheng passed the imperial examination, he married a wealthy woman of equal social standing, while Zhao Shuwan became his concubine, and their child was born smoothly.

Unfortunately, Zhao Shuwan was not content with her lot. She was convinced that once she entered the household, she could become the legitimate wife and was unwilling to be a concubine. She even threatened to expose the affair.

He eventually died that winter.

In her view, this was just an insignificant woman, not worth caring about at all.

Who would have thought that things would escalate so much today, and be exposed on the spot? Why is the situation so different from my previous life?

As soon as Qin Shuangshuang arrived, she said anxiously, "Father, Mother, this matter cannot be delayed. We must go to the Song family to apologize as soon as possible!"

"To plead guilty with a bundle of thorns on one's back? Our Qin family cannot afford such disgrace!"

Qin Zheng's face turned cold.

Previously, Song Lin had always been superior to him. Now that Song Lin had finally died on the battlefield, the Song family had lost its backbone. How could they possibly go to the Song family to apologize? Isn't that a joke?

"Brother's future cannot be delayed. Now, the only option is to apologize and seek forgiveness from the Song family. This matter must not be taken to the authorities!"

Qin Shuangshuang looked earnest; this was the only solution she could think of at the moment.

Although this matter is unpleasant to talk about, it does not violate the laws of the imperial court.

Once Qin Xiangheng graduated from high school, everyone would just consider it a romantic affair from his youth, and it wouldn't have much of an impact on him as a man.

Gu Yunwei was persuaded by Qin Shuangshuang.

“General, Shuangshuang is right. Xiang Heng is bound to suffer some pain today,” Gu Yunwei said.

Qin Shuangshuang nodded, "Father, if you punish the family in front of everyone at the Song mansion, people will think more highly of you and believe that you do not spoil your own children."

In this way, the Qin family can preserve its reputation!

If the Song family insists on reporting this to the authorities, it will only make them seem too ruthless to everyone…

……

Song family.

After learning about Qin Xiangheng and Zhao Shuwan's affair, Liu Ruyan was so angry that her face turned ashen.

"This is unreasonable! This is simply unreasonable!"

“I never thought much of Zhao Shuwan back then. In order to get engaged, I kept pestering Yi’an. I thought it was fine if Yi’an liked her, but I ended up doing something so shameful that I even hurt Yi’an.”

She was clearly the culprit, yet she had the nerve to cry and act pitiful in front of me before!

No, I can't swallow this!

Liu Ruyan stood up angrily. In all her years of life, she had never encountered such a shameless person.

"From now on, you must listen to what your mother says. Although you are smart in your studies, your taste in girls is really terrible!"

Song Yi'an: "..."

Isn't he a victim?

Song Yanzhou and Song Zhiyu chuckled to themselves. They had already been angry when they first learned about this, so they weren't so angry now. Instead, they felt a sense of satisfaction.

“Mother is right, Second Brother. We should listen to Mother’s opinion more often when it comes to future marriages,” Song Yanzhou agreed.

Song Zhiyu nodded, "That's right, that's right. Second brother's judgment is really bad. Mother, you should keep an eye on him."

Song Yi'an: "???"

Song Ruozhen silently shut her mouth, trying to make herself less noticeable.

Speaking of which, her mother's judgment in choosing a husband seems a bit off!

"Madam, someone from the Qin family has arrived. General Qin is making Qin Xiangheng kneel outside the door to receive family discipline," the nanny announced.

The people inside exchanged glances. Sure enough, what was bound to happen had finally arrived!

Outside the gate of the Song residence.

"Crack! Crack!"

A loud crack of a whip, accompanied by a muffled groan, rang out outside the door.

Passersby stopped and stared in astonishment as they watched Qin Xiangheng's clothes being stained red with blood.

"What mistake has Young Master Qin made that has angered General Qin so much that he has come to the Song family to apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back?"
