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

The sudden remark startled everyone present.

Meng Ze looked bewildered. What did the Princess of Chu mean by that?

Sun Dashan is Sun Xiaocui's brother, how could the child in her belly be his?

Meng Qin looked completely bewildered. The whole situation was really hard for her to process. But since Ruozhen had said that, then the two of them probably weren't siblings.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sun Dashan's face changed drastically. "She's my own sister, how could the child in her belly be mine?"

"It's obvious you can't keep up this act, are you going to force yourself to keep going?"

Song Ruozhen clicked her tongue and shook her head; her previously smiling face suddenly turned cold.

"They set up a honey trap, drugged people to create a false impression, and then took the opportunity to extort money from them!"

I've seen this kind of drama countless times, but you guys are far too greedy. You're really going to exploit someone to the point of exhaustion!

Sun Dashan and the others felt a chill run down their spines. They hadn't expected Song Ruozhen to see through everything. Could it be that Meng Ze had been dragging his feet on raising the money these past two days because he had actually hired someone?

"What nonsense are you talking about? My sister is an innocent girl. He raped her, and that's why she's pregnant before marriage!" Sun Dashan quickly said.

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "Isn't that simple? I'll go and invite Physician Zhang to examine whether the child in her belly is Meng Ze's offspring."

If so, giving you the money is no problem; but if not, and you've deliberately deceived me, I'll have to send you to prison!

With that, Song Ruozhen instructed Bai Zhi, "Go and fetch Physician Zhang!"

"Yes, princess."

Sun Dashan and his two companions still held a sliver of hope, for that was an imperial physician! Getting someone to come and see them was no easy task.

But after hearing Bai Zhi call the girl in front of him "Princess Consort", his heart sank completely!

This is actually the princess!

The princess could easily summon the imperial physician with just a word.

"Your Highness, we were wrong, we will never dare to do it again, please forgive us this time!"

Sun Xiaocui's face had already changed. If this matter were to escalate to the authorities, they would all be finished!

Seeing that Sun Xiaocui was so cowardly, Song Ruozhen had only said a few words when she hurriedly knelt down. At this point, it was no use for them to put on a brave face!

"Your Highness, we were blind to your greatness. Please forgive our ignorance and just let us go!"

Sun Dashan's eyes were filled with fear. He had never encountered such a powerful figure as the princess before. If they offended her, they would only face death.

Seeing that Song Ruozhen had easily dealt with these guys, and after a few scare tactics she admitted that everything was fake, Meng Qin couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother, compared to this, aren't you incredibly stupid? How could you let these guys manipulate you?"

Meng Ze touched his nose, looking embarrassed. Ever since this incident, he had been unable to eat or sleep, his mind filled with thoughts of how to hide it from everyone.

He knew these people were insatiable, but he really had no choice; otherwise, if things got out, his reputation and future would be ruined.

Thinking of his family's disappointment and how his wife would drift away from him because of this, he felt that it was absolutely unacceptable.

Unexpectedly, the Princess of Chu's move to cut off the source of the problem solved all the issues. At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had indeed been foolish and had been led by the nose.

"Luckily, I noticed something was wrong with you and specifically asked Ruozhen for help, otherwise you would have kept this a secret for who knows how long!" Meng Qin sighed.

Meng Ze's eyes were filled with gratitude. "Qin'er, this time it's all thanks to you and the Princess. Otherwise, I really don't know when I would have been able to break this deadlock."

"Tell me, how exactly did you do this?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Sun Dashan and the other two exchanged glances. At this point, they dared not hide anything any longer and quickly told the whole story.

Meng Ze breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he had been drugged again after getting drunk and hadn't done anything, but he couldn't help feeling angry.

It's all those shameless guys' fault; he hasn't had a good night's sleep in ages!

"You are all shameless! I have done nothing to wrong you, yet you have harmed me like this!" Meng Ze said angrily.

"Where's the money? Aren't you going to return it?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Sun Dashan's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he felt an indescribable regret in his heart. If he had known this would happen, they would not have done this.

Now not only do they have nothing, they also have to return all the money they had previously invested.

"We'll return it, we definitely will!" Sun Dashan quickly replied. "It's just that we haven't brought it with us yet. Please, Your Highness, give us some time, we'll go back and get it right away!"

Song Ruozhen looked at Meng Ze, leaving the rest to him; she didn't need to keep an eye on things anymore.

"We can't let them get away with this. They've harmed me so badly this time, and I'm sure many others have been harmed by the same methods. It's best to report them to the authorities!"

Meng Ze's face turned ashen. Thinking about how these people had done this so skillfully before, it wasn't hard to guess that they must have done this kind of thing many times before.

"Young Master Meng, we know we were wrong, and we will never dare to do it again. Please spare our lives! Xiao Cui is pregnant, and if she is arrested, the child will surely die!"

Sun Dashan knelt down and kowtowed to Meng Ze, pleading, "Please, have mercy! I beg you!"

Meng Ze glanced at Sun Xiaocui and realized that it was true that she was pregnant. Now he felt that these guys were full of lies and he really didn't know whether what they were saying was true or false.

Looking at Sun Dashan's expression, so devoted to Sun Xiaocui, Song Ruozhen said meaningfully:

"Sun Dashan, just to be kind, the child in Sun Xiaocui's belly isn't yours."

You're always fooling others, but you never realized you're the one getting sucked out!

Upon hearing this, Sun Dashan was completely bewildered and said, "Your Highness, you can't say things like that. Xiao Cui has always been with me. Whose child could it be but mine?"

Meng Qin was dumbfounded, "Aren't they siblings? How come they have a child?"

“He’s definitely not my biological son,” Meng Ze pondered.

He had encountered this situation before. Some poor people would drift together and become siblings. Sun Dashan and the others all had the surname Sun, but they were clearly not real siblings.

"Then you'll have to think about it carefully yourself. Who else could it be?" Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow.

A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of Sun Xiaocui and Sun Ershi, who were standing to the side. They hadn't expected that this matter was so well-hidden, that even Sun Dashan didn't know about it. How did the princess know?

If Sun Dashan finds out, the two of them will be in deep trouble. That guy can be deadly when he goes crazy!
