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

Prince Chu's Mansion.

"Ruozhen, you have no idea how stupid my brother's friends are. They all fell for it!"

"If they are tricked, they can tell their friends directly, and by simply comparing their accounts, they can confirm that they have been deceived."

But they were all so proud of themselves that not a single one of them said it. Isn't that ridiculous?

Meng Qin found it laughable as her sister-in-law vividly recounted what she had seen at the government office that day; it was just a pity she hadn't gone to see for herself that day.

When Song Ruozhen heard that there were others who had also been deceived, she couldn't help but sigh.

It's true that birds of a feather flock together; there's always a reason why they can get along so well.

"Fortunately, it was just a small matter, and it's all resolved now. But did you give your sister-in-law the amulet I asked you to give her?"

Meng Qin was slightly taken aback. "I asked for a peace charm before because I was worried that my older brother had gotten into trouble outside. Now that everything has been resolved, I didn't give it to him."

She had initially thought her elder brother had found someone else and worried that the concubine would harm her sister-in-law after entering the family. But now that Sun Xiaocui had been arrested, how could anything still happen to her?

Song Ruozhen frowned and said, "I calculated that your sister-in-law is going to face a calamity, but it has nothing to do with Sun Dashan and the others. That's why I asked you to give her the peace talisman."

"what?"

Meng Qin's eyes widened. "What do we do now? I have to go back right away."

However, just as Meng Qin was preparing to return, the people from the manor arrived.

"Miss, something has happened to the young mistress. They say the baby might not survive."

Meng Qin's expression changed drastically. "My sister-in-law's pregnancy has always been very stable. The baby is due in two months. How could she suddenly say that she can't keep it?"

"The young mistress was hit today and fell down the stairs. She bled immediately. The master has already summoned the imperial physician, but..."

The maidservant looked troubled as she spoke, and Meng Qin immediately understood.

Falling down the stairs is a very serious matter. It can be very serious, not to mention pregnant women, even for ordinary people.

"No, I have to go back right away!"

Meng Qin quickly stood up, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Ruozhen, your medical skills are superb, even better than the imperial physicians. Can you come back with me?"

Meng Qin's eyes showed a hint of guilt. Ruozhen had already helped her a lot, and now she was troubling her again, but there was really no other way at the moment.

Song Ruozhen nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, we'll go now."

Meng House.

When Song Ruozhen arrived with Meng Qin, she saw the chaotic scene inside, accompanied by the painful screams of Meng family's young mistress, Zheng Xiuying.

"what--"

"I can't do it anymore, I really can't!"

Meng Ze pleaded anxiously, "Imperial Physician, please, you must save my wife and child!"

"I will do my utmost, but this is far too serious. The young mistress has already given birth prematurely, and the child has no choice but to be born. As for whether the child will survive..."

The imperial physician sighed. An eight-month-old baby is extremely difficult to survive after birth.

Everything is now up to fate.

Madam Meng naturally knew what this meant, and her heart sank immediately.

The whole family was originally looking forward to the birth of the child with great joy. In two months, the child would be born safely. Who would have thought that something like this would happen today?

"Brother, what exactly happened?" Meng Qin couldn't help but ask. "Sister-in-law is six months pregnant, how could she have been pushed like that?"

With red eyes, Meng Ze sighed deeply, "I don't know either. Your sister-in-law and the second daughter of the Lu family are friends. I don't know why they started arguing today, and as a result, they both tumbled down the stairs."

"Huh?" Meng Qin was dumbfounded, and thought for a moment before saying, "How come I remember that the second young lady of the Lu family was also pregnant?"

"That's right, she's pregnant!"

Madam Meng looked worried. "Right now, we not only have to worry about your sister-in-law, but also about Lu Qingxue. What if something happens to the child?"

Both of them were pregnant, a time when they should have been sharing their joy. They had always been happy to see each other before, but somehow they suddenly started arguing today, and things escalated to this point…

"Lu Qingxue?"

Song Ruozhen was not familiar with the name, and wondered which Lu family it belonged to.

Jun Ting's maternal family was the Lu family of the Imperial City, but there were quite a few families with the surname Lu in the entire Imperial City.

Just as she was pondering this, she suddenly heard the nanny's excited voice coming from inside the room—

"It's born! The baby has been born!"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were not at ease, because the child was only eight months old and not yet ready to be born.

Having given birth so early, I wonder if the child will survive...

"It's a boy!"

Madam Meng looked at the baby being brought out. Unlike the full-term babies she usually saw, the baby's skin was wrinkled and reddish all over, making him look exceptionally fragile. Even his cries were very soft.

"Imperial Physician, is the child alright?" Doctor Meng asked anxiously.

The imperial physician had already taken the child's pulse and said in a deep voice, "This child's pulse is extremely weak. I will do my best."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank again. The child the whole family had been longing for had finally been born, but they didn't know if he could survive.

"Imperial Physician, how is my wife?"

Meng Ze's eyes were red as he worried about his wife. She had already been injured from falling from a height, and now she had given birth. Her body had always been weak, and he didn't know if she could withstand it.

At that moment, anxious voices came from inside the house again.

"Oh no! The young mistress has suffered a postpartum hemorrhage!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions. If the person suffered a hemorrhage, they would most likely lose their life.

"No, no!" Meng Ze panicked completely and rushed into the house in a hurry.

The imperial physician was also startled. In his many years of medical practice, he had encountered many women in labor, and once postpartum hemorrhage occurred, most of them could not be saved...

"Oh no, what if something happens to my sister-in-law?" Meng Qin paced back and forth anxiously, praying incessantly.

Song Ruozhen followed them into the house, and as soon as she entered, she smelled a strong stench of blood.

Zheng Xiuying lay on the bed, her face pale and barely breathing. Meng Ze rushed forward and took her hand.

"Madam, don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

With tears in her eyes, Zheng Xiuying reached out and touched Meng Ze's face, her eyes filled with indescribable sorrow.

"My husband, I'm sorry, I don't have the good fortune to be with you until the end."

"Madam, don't say such discouraging things, everything will be alright!"

The imperial physician glanced at Zheng Xiuying's condition and couldn't help but sigh, "This old man... has no way to help her."

Upon hearing this, the Meng family members felt utterly disheartened; there was no way to save this person...

"I'll give it a try," Song Ruozhen suddenly said.
