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

"I will go with you."

Chu Junting agreed without hesitation.

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, and without delay, turned around and walked outside.

"Go and inform Zhao Wenshu of the Ministry of Justice that I will leave marks along the way. Follow me quickly and keep a low profile. Do not alert the enemy," Chu Junting instructed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Songshi and Songbai dared not delay and hurriedly went to inform Lord Zhao.

Song Ruozhen was waiting for Chu Junting to give instructions to the servants when she bumped into Chu Yungui walking towards her.

Chu Yungui hurried inside, but suddenly recognized the girl in front of him. He paused for a moment, his brows furrowed with surprise. "Miss Song?"

"Greetings, Prince Yun."

Song Ruozhen bowed.

Chu Yungui was filled with surprise. Ever since his third brother stopped Xu He'an from going boating on the lake, he had been hoping that the two of them could make progress.

Unfortunately, there have been too many affairs in the court these past few days, and he and his third brother have been so busy that they have no time to spare. Unexpectedly, Miss Song took the initiative to come to find his third brother.

Could it be... that she has secretly fallen for him?

Just as Chu Junting was giving instructions, Chu Yungui arrived, left a message, and walked to Song Ruozhen's side.

"Third brother, where are you planning to go?" Chu Yungui winked, his eyes full of teasing.

"I have important business to attend to. You'll stay here at my residence for now." Chu Junting turned his gaze. "Shall we leave?"

Song Ruozhen responded. Calculating the time, they indeed needed to go as soon as possible, lest they miss the best opportunity to catch the thief red-handed.

Seeing the two turn and leave, Chu Yungui couldn't help but wonder, "Important business? What important business could my royal brother and Miss Song possibly have to do?"

"Oh no, I forgot about my own business." Chu Yungui slapped his forehead, but when he turned around, he could no longer see Chu Junting and the other two.

Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting galloped on their horses until they were close to their destination. Only then did they tie their horses to tree trunks and slow down to continue their journey.

"This place is so remote, it's no exaggeration to say it's deserted. It would be really difficult to find something hidden here."

Chu Junting frowned slightly. They had investigated a lot in the past few days, but they still couldn't find the whereabouts of the remaining stolen money.

Hidden in such a place, it would have been extremely difficult to find it if Song Ruozhen hadn't foreseen it.

However, in this remote place, a rustling sound suddenly came from ahead. Chu Junting's handsome eyes narrowed, and he saw two familiar figures digging a hole.

"Shuangshuang, there are so many treasures in here! We're rich!"

Lin Zhiyue's eyes lit up with excitement. With this money, they could not only repay the Song family, but also have enough left over to live comfortably and restore the glory of the Lin family!

"Zhiyue, believe me, I am not wrong, our predicament will soon be resolved!"

"We'll return the silver tomorrow. Song Ruozhen is so arrogant, going so far as to take it to court to humiliate you. This time, we'll shut her up completely!"

A smug glint flashed in Qin Shuangshuang's eyes. With this money, she could live a life of luxury!

All the glory of her past life belonged to her, and even without Song Ruozhen as her ex-wife, she was even more rightfully hers!

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Lin Zhiyue smiled and nodded, remembering the humiliation he had suffered during this period, he was determined to repay it all!

Song Ruozhen glanced at the two people digging for treasure ahead and sneered inwardly. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she was certain that these two guys were about to be in big trouble!

Qin Shuangshuang is truly capable. After being reborn, she learned where the corrupt official's treasures were hidden and wanted to take them for herself.

Unfortunately, I ran into her.

"Lin Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang were also implicated?"

Chu Junting frowned. He had no idea that the information he had gathered was related to these two people. It seemed that his investigation was not thorough enough!

"I didn't expect them to be here either. Didn't Shuntian Prefecture say that Qin Shuangshuang was seriously ill and almost lost her life?"

Song Ruozhen pondered for a moment before speaking: "I'm afraid they deliberately made up a pretext just to transfer money?"

Chu Junting thought about it carefully, and everything made sense!

Qin Shuangshuang deliberately claimed to be ill. He was very suspicious when he heard the news, but he hadn't had time to investigate in the past two days. He never expected that everything was connected.

As the two dug out box after box of treasures and laboriously carried them to the carriage behind, the sheer quantity was astonishing.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to catch the thief red-handed?" Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow.

Chu Junting remained calm. "No rush, let's observe first."

As he spoke, he turned to meet the woman's gaze and explained, "Now that we've found the item, let's see what they're planning. We can play the long game and maybe find out who else we can find."

"good idea."

Song Ruozhen smiled faintly. She also felt that this was not a good time to arrest someone, but rather to test the waters.

If they rush out like that, given Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue's cunning, they will immediately change their story, even claiming that they discovered the stolen money and taking credit for it.

It would be better to wait until the evidence is conclusive before taking action.

As expected of the renowned Prince Chu, he is exceptionally intelligent. It seems that she doesn't need to worry about this matter anymore; she only needs to act as a guide.

Light footsteps gradually approached from behind.

Upon hearing the prince's summons, Zhao Wenshu from the Ministry of Justice dared not delay for even a moment and rushed over following the signs along the way.

Upon arriving, they saw the usually aloof King of Chu chatting happily with a young woman behind a small hill, their demeanor... quite intimate.

If it weren't for the fact that the environment here really didn't look like a place for sightseeing, he would have thought the two of them were there for leisure.

"Your Highness, your humble servant has arrived."

Chu Junting waved his hand, signaling to keep things quiet. Zhao Wenshu obediently moved aside and hid behind the small mound.

Then, a surprising scene unfolded.

"Your Highness, this...this is..."

"Stolen goods." Chu Junting lowered his voice.

Zhao Wenshu's pupils contracted sharply. They had investigated for so long and interrogated a group of people in prison, but they hadn't gotten anything out of them and didn't know how to explain themselves.

Unexpectedly, the prince was found so quickly, and caught red-handed!

"To think they were buried here! Your Highness is truly remarkable. Otherwise, we would never have been able to find them. These two must be confidants or accomplices. We must not let them escape!"

Zhao Wenshu was a little anxious. There had been no progress on this matter for the past few days, but now there was finally an explanation!

"Don't rush, it can't escape."

Chu Junting and Zhao Wenshu were anxious to have someone surround them, so they raised their hands and said, "Take a closer look at who those two people are."

Zhao Wenshu was slightly taken aback. He had only seen the backs of the two people, and it was dark outside. He never expected that the person who dug the pit might be someone he knew.

After being reminded, and upon closer inspection, she realized it was Lin Zhiyue and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Your Highness, are you not planning to arrest them tonight?"

Chu Junting nodded and said frankly, "I need you to be a witness."

Zhao Wenshu: "???"
