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

Hearing Song Ruozhen's pointed words, Sun Dashan seemed to suddenly realize something.

He turned his head, his gaze shifting back and forth between Sun Ershi and Sun Xiaocui, a hint of doubt gradually rising in his heart.

Could it be... true?

"Brother, you mustn't listen to their nonsense. They're just resentful about what we did, so they're deliberately trying to sow discord. If you believe them, you'll fall into their trap!" Sun Ershi said anxiously.

Sun Xiaocui nodded, "Brother, I've always been by your side. You should know best whether the child is yours or not!"

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Sun Dashan's doubts dissipated somewhat. He realized they were right and he shouldn't have doubted them so easily.

"You don't believe what the Princess Consort of Chu says? You're really stupid!"

If we wanted to deal with you, we'd just report you to the authorities, and none of you would have fared well. Why bother going to the trouble of fabricating these lies to deceive you? I don't know if you're the fools or we are!

Meng Qin looked disgusted. Even though she didn't know the situation of these three people, it wasn't hard to guess from Sun Ershi's guilty expression.

"Tsk tsk, you thought the big brother was out here to fool people, but little did you know you were the one who got the short end of the stick!"

"My older brother is a terrible bastard, and you're no better!"

Meng Ze: "..." There's no need to bring him along.

"Princess Consort of Chu?"

Upon hearing the words "Princess of Chu," Sun Dashan's eyes widened in horror.

There are many princesses in the capital, but Princess Chu is undoubtedly the most famous of them all, because her fortune-telling is extremely accurate, and everyone in the capital knows her.

No wonder he could see through their scheme at a glance, and even tell that the child wasn't his!

"Do you two think I'm stupid? I always felt there was something between you two, you were exchanging glances behind my back, so you've been hooking up all along!"

Sun Dashan angrily punched Sun Ershi, "I've always treated you well. I saved you when you were starving to death, and this is how you repay me?"

Sun Ershi's mouth was bleeding from the punch, and he wiped it away, his eyes filled with anger.

"What savior? Don't make it sound so nice. You just need help because you can't do everything yourself, so you're leaving it to me."

“We always put in the same amount of effort, but you always take the lion’s share of the money, leaving me only a small fraction!”

They promised to find me a wife, but now they won't even give me a penny. Where am I supposed to find a wife for me?

Sun Dashan glared at him angrily, "Just because I didn't find you a wife, you've taken a fancy to me?"

"And you, you shameless hussy, I never imagined you could be so shameless!"

Seeing the two people in front of her start fighting, a hint of panic flashed in Sun Xiaocui's eyes, and she said, "Stop fighting!"

Seeing the three of them making a mess, Song Ruozhen and the others watched the show from the sidelines.

"Brother, what are you planning to do about this?"

Meng Qin looked at her older brother. How to resolve this situation was up to him.

"I plan to report this to the authorities; I can't let them continue to harm people like this!"

Meng Ze's face turned ashen as he thought about how anxious he had been these past few days, and how many people these habitual offenders had harmed.

He had never thought money was that important before, but now that he was being chased for money, he realized how troublesome it was, it was really deadly!

"Let's take advantage of this moment and send the government officials directly."

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. Now that this matter has caused such a commotion, these three will fight like dogs for a long time. However, after this matter is exposed, other people in the capital who have been deceived will probably also come out.

Before long, government officials arrived and took the person away.

"Princess Consort of Chu, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how long they would have kept bothering me."

Meng Ze looked ashamed. He had been thinking that this matter was a big problem, and for the sake of his reputation and to avoid upsetting his wife, he thought that he had to cover it up no matter what.

Now that I understand everything, I suddenly realize how incredibly stupid I was. How could he have done something so foolish?

If word gets out, everyone will laugh at him for being brainless, but no matter what, he has to make these people pay the price!

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "Young Master Meng, you don't need to take it too seriously. In fact, this also proves that you are indeed devoted to your wife."

Meng Ze was slightly taken aback, and for a moment he didn't realize what those words meant.

"If it were any other fickle man, he probably wouldn't be too conflicted about what happened, and would simply take the person into his household."

"In that case, it will be difficult for them to continue this tactic," Song Ruozhen said.

Meng Ze touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Meng Qin suddenly realized, "So, there aren't many people who could get infected like my older brother!"

“They usually just threaten to report to the authorities, saying they are bullying respectable women, and then extort a sum of money from them before it ends.”

It's just that your older brother is easily fooled, which is why they've swindled him out of money time and time again.

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle. After all, it wasn't surprising that the high-ranking officials and nobles were worried about ruining their reputations by saying they would report the matter to the authorities that day. But after that, it would be absolutely impossible for them to extort money from her.

Ultimately, it all came down to taking advantage of Meng Ze's kind and honest nature.

Seeing this, Meng Qin couldn't help but click her tongue and shake her head. "Big brother, I told you your brain isn't working properly, but you didn't believe me. If you had told me before, the matter would have been resolved long ago."

If you encounter anything you can't solve in the future, you must tell me, no matter what. It's much better for everyone to work together to find a solution than for you to do it alone!

Meng Ze nodded, feeling ashamed but smiling.

Although it was indeed a bit embarrassing, it really solved his biggest problem and he no longer had to worry about it. He was really happy!

Soon, government officials came and arrested Sun Dashan and the other two. Meng Ze went to the yamen with them, where he was determined to get back all the money he had been swindled out of.

When the young mistress of the Meng family learned that her husband had gone to the yamen, she rushed over there.

After learning the whole story, I was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

"I told you that you've been looking preoccupied lately, and I asked you if something had happened, but you couldn't tell me, which made me worry that you might be seeing someone else."

It turns out I was framed.

"Madam, I am truly sorry about this, but I really have no relationship with that Sun Xiaocui."

From now on, I'll never go drinking with those shady friends again. When I got drunk, nobody cared about me!

Meng Ze looked aggrieved. They had gotten drunk together, but when he woke up, he was all alone.

However, when Madam Meng looked at the group of people who had just arrived at the yamen, she asked in surprise, "Husband, why are they here too?"

The group looked furious. "I knew these shameless bastards were in cahoots to swindle us out of our money!"

"Why didn't you all say so sooner? Otherwise, you wouldn't have all been fooled!"

Meng Ze: "..."
