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

A hint of hesitation flashed in Qi Qingyi's eyes, and she waved her hand, saying, "The prince's illness has always been taken care of by a specialist doctor, and besides, he has always disliked telling others about his illness over the years."

"I see. I just heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family, Zheng Xiuying, unexpectedly went into premature labor and suffered a postpartum hemorrhage, which even the imperial physicians were helpless to treat."

Fortunately, Song Ruozhen was also there at the time, and with a single act of skill, she miraculously saved Zheng Xiuying's life.

After this news spread, I heard many people praising her, saying that her medical skills were even better than those of the imperial physicians, and that she could probably cure many difficult and complicated diseases.

Tang Xuening felt uneasy ever since she heard the news. How could she let Song Ruozhen put on such a show?

She had to find a way to deflate this woman's arrogance. How could Song Ruozhen still be living a prosperous life after harming her like this?

She used to be a well-known noblewoman in the capital, with suitors practically wearing down her doorstep. Now, her parents want to marry her off, but they can't find a suitable candidate.

Those who once wanted to marry her now look down on her; the rest are only after the power and influence of the Prime Minister's mansion and want to climb the social ladder, which she despises!

Now, whenever her parents mention this matter, they can't help but sigh and scold her along with it, making her feel incredibly aggrieved.

The news that Prince Liang was in poor health was common knowledge throughout the capital. Despite seeing doctors for so many years without any improvement, she refused to believe that Song Ruozhen had the ability to help him.

If she can't cure him, the news will naturally spread throughout the capital. But Princess Liang keeps making excuses!

“What you say makes sense, but I have no relationship with the Princess of Chu, so she may not agree.”

Qi Qingyi pondered before speaking; she hoped more than anyone else that the prince would recover.

Since their marriage, the prince has been in poor health, and they have not yet consummated their marriage.

More and more people are now staring at her belly, hoping that she can give birth to a son or daughter for the Prince of Liang, but she finds it difficult to say so.

Fortunately, the prince took all the responsibility upon himself and has not taken any concubines so far, which made her feel a little more at ease. At least compared to those who manage their concubines all day long and whose marital relationships are not harmonious, she is already very good.

“The King of Liang and the King of Chu are brothers, and the Queen Consort of Chu is the King of Liang’s sister-in-law. How could she possibly refuse?”

Seeing that Qi Qingyi was interested, Tang Xuening immediately added fuel to the fire, "It's still a hope. What if she gets cured? The prince will be very grateful to you!"

On the other side, Song Ruozhen sat on the boat and saw Tang Xuening on the shore in the distance.

To be honest, she hadn't seen Tang Xuening for quite some time and had almost forgotten about her.

"Hey, isn't that Fourth Sister-in-law?"

Chu Muyao also noticed the people on the shore and frowned in confusion, "Why is Fourth Sister-in-law with Tang Xuening?"

"Fourth Sister-in-law?" Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback, but then guessed the other person's identity. "Is that Princess Consort Liang?"

Chu Muyao nodded, "That's right. Because Fourth Brother's health isn't very good, he doesn't leave the manor often, so Fourth Sister-in-law doesn't usually come out either. I didn't expect to run into him today, which is quite unexpected."

However, when Song Ruozhen heard about Qi Qingyi, a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

In the original book, the one who finally ascended to the throne was this physically weak and unassuming King Liang.

In the early stages, the Prince of Liang remained relatively quiet and was almost ignored by the other princes, but he later revealed his ruthless side, like a lurking viper.

Prime Minister Tang and Lin Zhiyue, one a civil official and the other a military general, assisted King Liang and helped him eventually inherit the throne.

Looking at the close relationship between Princess Liang and Tang Xuening now, could it be that Prime Minister Tang has already chosen sides?

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing the two whispering together, Chu Junting handed them the pastries he was holding. "These pastries are from Jufangzhai. Do you like them?"

Song Ruozhen picked up a glutinous rice ball. It smelled sweet and soft. She took a bite and found it tasted quite good. Then she said, "It's just a bit unexpected to see Miss Tang and Princess Liang."

Upon hearing this, Chu Junting followed their gaze and, as expected, noticed the two people on the shore.

The next moment, he and Song Ruozhen exchanged a glance, a knowing look flashing in their eyes.

One of them transmigrated into the book, and the other was reborn; naturally, they knew what was going on behind the scenes.

In his previous life, Prince Liang remained hidden until the very end, stirring up trouble behind the scenes, yet no one suspected him because he had always been in poor health and was considered indifferent to worldly affairs among all the princes.

Now that the Second Prince is completely finished, most of the court officials have placed their bets on Prince Xiao and Prince Chu. Although there are other princes, these two, being the eldest son and the legitimate son respectively, are naturally the most prominent.

“I noticed that Tang Xuening kept looking in our direction. Although I didn’t know what she was saying, based on what she had done before, I knew that what she was saying was definitely not nice.”

Chu Muyao pursed her lips. She didn't have a good impression of Tang Xuening. This woman was a complete troublemaker.

After all that has happened, she shows no sign of remorse, which shows that she is never one to settle down and behave herself.

Song Ruozhen shook her head with a faint smile. She didn't care about Tang Xuening at all. This girl wasn't very smart to begin with, and even if she wanted to cause trouble, she couldn't make much of a splash.

If Princess Liang was also instigated by her, it proves that Princess Liang is not very clever either.

She remembered that in the original book, the King of Liang was a prince, but the empress was not the original Queen Consort of Liang; she was another woman.

As for who it was... she couldn't remember, because the whole book revolved around Qin Shuangshuang. Later on, after Lin Zhiyue got promoted and made a fortune, the book focused on their sweet daily life, which she had no interest in.

"The weather is lovely today. The breeze blowing from the lake feels especially pleasant. Second brother, don't you know how to play the flute?"

Song Zhiyu's eyes lit up, and he took the flute from the boat, saying, "Play one for us."

Hearing her third brother's suggestion, Song Ruozhen turned to look at Ruan Niantang and said, "Second sister-in-law's piano skills are also superb. I've heard people say that before. Why don't we play a piece together?"

"Really? That would be great!"

Luo Qingyin, who was standing to the side, also smiled and said, "I've also heard people praise my second sister-in-law's piano skills, but I haven't had the pleasure of hearing it myself."

Ruan Niantang and Song Yi'an's wedding preparations were almost complete, but they were not yet married. Seeing that the Song family members all called her "Second Sister-in-law" and "Second Sister-in-law," her cheeks flushed slightly, revealing a hint of shyness.

She stole a glance at Song Yi'an and saw him looking at her with a gentle smile. "There's a zither on the boat, why don't we play a tune to celebrate Fifth Sister's birthday?"

Ruan Niantang nodded. "Okay."

In an instant, the sounds of the zither and the flute intertwined, drifting and spreading from the boats on the lake. A smile spread across everyone's faces, and some even began to sing along...
