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

"If you hadn't made me do these things, how would things have been exposed?"

Qin Xiangheng was self-righteous, his eyes filled with resentment. He felt more and more that Qin Shuangshuang's ideas were all terrible!

Now that Song Yi'an has discovered that his article was stolen, although he believes that the other party has no way to find evidence, he is now in jail and is really worried that things might change.

Besides, if it weren't for his recent rise to fame, Zhao Shuwan wouldn't have clung to him, the matter wouldn't have been exposed, and he wouldn't have become the laughing stock of the whole city!

"You'd better speak from your conscience! Aren't you the one who's been enjoying the limelight in the capital lately? Have I benefited from it in the slightest?"

I have gone to great lengths for you, hoping that you will pass the imperial examination with flying colors. Now, who in the capital doesn't praise your writing? Noble families and aristocratic families have high hopes for you.

Originally, if you had just behaved yourself and waited to pass the imperial examination, you could have risen to a high position and married a wealthy family's daughter. But you insisted on having an affair with Zhao Shuwan on the ship and were discovered.

Was all of this my fault?

Qin Shuangshuang became increasingly angry as she spoke. She had arranged everything perfectly, but things went wrong at this crucial moment.

In his previous life, Qin Xiangheng stole Song Yi'an's fame in this way, and shone brightly in the imperial examination, earning praise from everyone. As a result, the Qin family rose to prominence and became increasingly powerful.

This move was extremely crucial, but it was all ruined because of this shameful affair!

"You've really got some nerve these days, even lecturing your brother now?"

Qin Xiangheng felt utterly humiliated, and even the other people in the cell were drawn to his presence, looking over with strange expressions, which only fueled his anger and embarrassment.

He grabbed Qin Shuangshuang's collar through the gap in the railing with one hand, "If it weren't for you, would I have been beaten like this? You know I hate Song Yi'an the most, yet you still made me get beaten in front of him."

I'll show you what it feels like to be beaten!

"Snapped!"

Qin Shuangshuang felt a burning pain on her face after being slapped. When she looked at Qin Xiangheng again, her eyes were filled with hatred. She no longer cared about her usual dignity and grabbed Qin Xiangheng, scratching bloody marks on his neck.

"What right do you have to hit me? You made a mistake, and I was trying to clean up your mess, and you still dare to hit me!"

Lin Zhiyue was just worrying about his own affairs when he unexpectedly saw the two siblings start fighting. He quickly said, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Won't this make us a laughing stock in front of outsiders?"

"Snapped!"

Qin Xiangheng picked up a lump of mud from under the straw on the ground and threw it at Qin Shuangshuang. Just then, Lin Zhiyue stepped forward, and the mud happened to hit his face, with some of it even getting into his mouth.

A strong stench exploded in the cavity, and Lin Zhiyue quickly wiped his face, "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

"How could you hurt him?" Qin Shuangshuang was furious and picked up a clod of mud from the ground and threw it at him.

Qin Xiangheng was hit by the mud, and the unpleasant smell made him gag. He was even more annoyed and quickly picked up the mud from the ground.

After spitting out the mud from his mouth, Lin Zhiyue felt stinky all over. Just as he turned around to speak, another piece of mud hit his face.

At this moment, even he, who had been holding back for so long, couldn't take it anymore. He picked up a clod of mud and threw it at the person, yelling, "I'll teach you to throw! I'll teach you to throw!"

As a military officer, Lin Zhiyue was very accurate even when throwing mud clods, and he directly returned Qin Xiangheng's mouthful of mud, causing him to vomit profusely.

When the jailer received his orders and took the man out for questioning, he saw this chaotic scene.

Qin Shuangshuang's hair was disheveled, making her look quite disheveled. Her body was covered in mud and emitted a foul stench.

Qin Xiangheng's face and neck were covered in bloodstains, and his crown had fallen to the ground. Even Lin Zhiyue was in no better shape, completely unlike his usual noble young master appearance. He was not only disheveled and slovenly, but also smelled terrible.

"Did you take a dump in there?"

The jailer covered his mouth, nearly vomiting. "Aren't they all young masters and ladies from noble families? How can they be so shameless?"

The three of them, already feeling embarrassed and flustered after calming down, became even more ashamed upon hearing these words.

"We...we didn't."

"I don't care if you have anything to say or not. The magistrate has summoned you for questioning. Come with us!"

Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue looked at each other, wondering what they would think if they were interrogated in their current state.

"Officer, could you find us a place to wash up and change into clean clothes?" Qin Shuangshuang asked, tidying her hair.

"Do you think this prison is your home? You think you can wash up here? What kind of dream are you having?"

The jailer covered his nose with a look of disgust. "You've already soiled yourselves without any regard for appearances, and you still care about these things? I don't think you're people who care about dignity. Get out of here!"

Qin Shuangshuang clenched her fists, gritting her teeth in anger, unable to contain her anxiety.

"Zhiyue, you have to think of something quick! If someone sees this, we're doomed!"

Lin Zhiyue's face was grim; he had never been so humiliated. "I tried to stop you, but why didn't you listen! What can you do now?"

Qin Zheng and Gu Yunwei had just arrived in Shuntian Prefecture to investigate Qin Xiangheng's whereabouts. They were taken away last night and haven't received any news since. It's unclear how they will be dealt with.

Unexpectedly, upon arrival they bumped into Lin Ruolan, who had been captured, and both of them were taken aback.

"Mother-in-law, how did you end up being arrested and brought to the yamen?"

Lin Ruolan learned from the soldiers along the way that this was the embezzled silver that had been missing until today, when it was found at the Lin residence.

The evidence is conclusive, and he cannot escape responsibility!

Thinking back to this morning when Qin Shuangshuang smiled and gave her the silver, saying it was all out of filial piety, she felt like tearing that woman's mouth apart!

It's a misfortune for Zhiyue to marry such a wife; she's going to bring disaster to the whole family!

"How dare you ask? They're all your good daughters, and this is going to ruin the Lin family!"

"First you caused me to lose my good wife, then you caused Zhiyue to lose his marquisate, and now you've even put us in jail. What exactly are you up to?"

Gu Yunwei was taken aback. "What makes you say that?"

"Watch your mouth. It was clearly Lin Zhiyue who took a fancy to my daughter. She married him and was imprisoned because of it. It's your Lin family's incompetence that you're blaming us?"

Qin Zheng had a cold face. He was still furious about what happened yesterday. Lin Zhiyue, as his son-in-law, didn't even show his face. He didn't even have basic manners!

Now, instead of blaming Lin Zhiyue, Lin Ruolan is blaming them?

"If it weren't for Qin Shuangshuang, our Marquis's mansion would be so glorious. It has only fallen into ruin since this jinx entered the door!"

She's supposed to be a daughter of a prominent family, yet she doesn't even have a decent dowry when she leaves home. She's far inferior to the Song family!

Lin Ruolan looked disgusted. "You finally managed to bring me something as a gift today, and it's stolen goods. Our Lin family has always been clean and honest, and now you've been caught and brought to the yamen. Who else can we blame but you?"

"Stolen goods? What stolen goods?" Qin Zheng frowned. "How could Shuangshuang have come into contact with these?"

"I'd also like to ask General Qin, you didn't know about what your daughter brought, did you?"

Lin Ruolan's eyes lit up. She was just worried about how to distance herself from this matter. The money was given by Qin Shuangshuang. If anyone should be investigated, it should be the Qin family!
