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

Song Ruozhen quietly watched the scene before her, finding it quite interesting.

She noticed the change in her fourth brother's expression. He hadn't seemed to think much about it before, but after Ke Yuanzhi said that, it was as if she had suddenly made him understand.

After the incident with Lu Huai'an, Chu Muyao became much more cautious. Because she had been injured, she no longer dared to be as proactive as before. Otherwise, given her previous personality, this matter would probably have progressed by now.

"Even the princess bought a ticket?"

Ke Yuanzhi looked at the ticket Chu Muyao handed her, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Otherwise what? Are you going to just take advantage of someone for nothing?" Chu Muyao blinked, handed over the ticket, and then spread out her hand. "Two taels of silver."

Ke Yuanzhi: "..."

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle, watching Ke Yuanzhi's face turn pale and then red, and said, "Miss Ke, aren't you eager to listen to the storytelling? If you don't go now, you'll miss it."

Ke Yuanzhi held her breath. Her original intention was not to go to the wine, but now she was stuck here and had no choice but to go.

Watching Ke Yuanzhi and the other woman leave, Chu Muyao remarked, "Miss Jie and this young master are quite a good match, don't you think?"

"It's alright," Song Jingshen replied casually.

However, this answer sounded ambiguous to Chu Muyao, and a feeling of frustration inexplicably welled up in her heart.

Song Jingshen noticed the woman's dejection and displeasure, and he spoke again: "Whether she is a good match for someone or not is none of my business."

Chu Muyao was slightly taken aback, but her mood suddenly improved. She then placed the two taels of silver she had just received into Song Jingshen's hand and said:

“She always comes with the intention of getting a good deal. Even if you don’t lack money, you can use it to help the suffering people. You can’t just waste it.”

Song Jingshen looked at the two taels of silver in his palm and suddenly laughed.

"You seem to feel sorry for me spending money."

When Chu Muyao met Song Jingshen's meaningful gaze, her heart skipped a beat, as if she had been suddenly seen through, and she felt an indescribable tension.

"I just can't stand how you always do stupid things!" Chu Muyao turned to look at Song Ruozhen. "Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"

“You’re right!” Song Ruozhen agreed.

Song Jingshen raised an eyebrow at his sister, only to meet her expectant gaze. His usually carefree and unrestrained handsome face stiffened for a moment before he regained his composure.

With the unspoken understanding between the two siblings, Song Ruozhen instantly understood. It seems... Fourth Brother really isn't conflicted at all!

Song Jingshen is indeed not conflicted. He didn't even hesitate when he met Ke Yuanzhi before, let alone now that he has met a good girl.

Although he is a few years older than her, and it feels like he's been intimate with her, if this girl likes him too, then it shouldn't count?

Chu Muyao looked back and forth between the two with a puzzled gaze. Although the two seemed not to have said anything, she felt as if they were communicating something.

“Don’t you also want to hear about the White Snake? I’ll arrange the best seat for you. You go in first, and I’ll talk to my fifth sister for a bit and then come in to find you,” Song Jingshen said.

"That's pretty much it!"

Chu Muyao figured that Song Jingshen and her sister-in-law were talking about serious matters, and she didn't want to disturb them, so she obediently told Song Ruozhen and went to the teahouse to listen to storytelling.

Seeing that the person had left, Song Ruozhen looked at Song Jingshen with a smile: "Fourth Brother, now that they're gone, is there anything you want to say to me?"

"When did you find out?" Song Jingshen asked.

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "That was a long time ago, but it should have been in its infancy then, not as obvious as it is now."

Song Jingshen suddenly realized that he had never thought about this before. Even though the idea had popped into his mind, he still needed to confirm it.

"Perhaps she just thought I was a nice person, and that the shop had a lot of new and interesting things, so she mistook my interest for a liking."

Song Ruozhen glanced at him and said, "Fourth brother, you don't seem like someone who lacks confidence."

She had noticed this as soon as she arrived; many girls were secretly eyeing her fourth brother. There were quite a few girls in the capital who wanted to marry him.

"It's not that I lack confidence, it's just that I can't be blindly confident."

Song Jingshen smiled faintly, but in his heart he was thinking that he should find an opportunity to confirm it again another day.

Song Ruozhen had great confidence in Song Jingshen. If he truly liked a girl, he would treat her with all his heart. Not to mention, her fourth brother's extravagant and decadent methods of pursuing girls were known to almost everyone in the capital.

Mu Yao is innocent and adorable; if the two of them could get together, she would naturally applaud and support it.

Chu Muyao listened to the storyteller while waiting for Song Jingshen and Song Ruozhen.

At first, I was eagerly anticipating it, but gradually I was drawn in by the wonderful content. I felt that this story was so interesting, so much better than any story I had ever heard before!

When Ke Yuanzhi saw that Chu Muyao had given her the ticket but she had gone to the best seat, she felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

She had known Song Jingshen for many years and naturally knew some of his business habits. Even though the teahouse tickets were sold out, he would always reserve a few of the best seats so that he could entertain any distinguished guests who came.

That's why she went to see Song Jingshen even though she knew the tickets were sold out. Who would have thought that she would become a stepping stone for him!

"What method can I use to make Jing Shen remember me? Everyone used to say that Song Ruozhen's medical skills were superb and that she could cure so many people, so why couldn't she cure Jing Shen?"

Ke Yuanzhi gritted her teeth. If things continued like this, she was afraid that even after they were married in spirit, he would still not remember her.

Chu Muyao noticed a gaze fixed on her and looked over, meeting Ke Yuanzhi's eyes.

“Princess, Miss Ke has been looking this way the whole time. Could she be misunderstanding your relationship with Young Master Song?” a maidservant said.

"What's the misunderstanding?"

“Princess, you were standing so close to Young Master Song just now. People who didn’t know the situation might have thought that you two had a close relationship. Isn’t Miss Ke hoping that Young Master Song will change his mind?”

In my humble opinion, she probably sees the princess as a rival in love.

Chu Muyao hesitated, her mind involuntarily turning to Song Jingshen. He shouldn't be so blind as to turn back again.

There are plenty of good girls in the world, why get hung up on this kind of woman?

The thought of Song Jingshen having another girl by his side made her feel indescribably sad.

Just then, Song Jingshen walked over and said with a smile, "How was it? Did today's content not disappoint you?"

Chu Muyao glanced at him, her interest waning. "Of course, my sister-in-law's novels are exceptional. Didn't you hear the cheers from the entire hall?"

"But judging from your expression, you don't seem to like it very much." Song Jingshen's handsome eyes were filled with inquiry. What's wrong with this girl?
