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

"Mother, why are you here?"

Song Ruozhen was surprised. She had guessed that things wouldn't be peaceful in Shuntian Prefecture today, which was why she had asked her third brother to come along. She hadn't expected her mother to come as well.

"If I'm not here, won't these people be able to bully you?"

Liu Ruyan stepped forward and shielded Song Ruozhen behind her, glancing at Lin Zhiyue and the others beside her.

"My daughter is the daughter of the Song family, a lady of a prestigious family, and she is also very talented, proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

The reason we got engaged in the first place was because Lord Lin pleaded with me so earnestly, and I thought you were a responsible person. The old lady also repeatedly said she would treat Zhen'er well, so I agreed to the marriage.

"In the end, it's my fault as a mother. I was blind to arrange the wrong marriage for my daughter."

I originally intended to save face for both sides and avoid a complete breakdown in relations, but now that you've committed a crime yourselves and are trying to drag my daughter down with you, there's absolutely no way you'll do that!

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan looked at Chu Junting and said, "Your Highness, my daughter has stayed in the manor all day and has only gone out a handful of times."

My general has not returned to this day, and even when he was alive, Yuan Xingchao had no contact with us.

Moreover, regardless of whether other cities suffered from floods or droughts, my general never hesitated to provide porridge and donate silver, and his reputation has been known to all over the years.

"How could Zhen'er, as the daughter of a general, possibly collude with Yuan Xingchao, and how could she possibly know the whereabouts of this silver?"

As Liu Ruyan finished speaking, everyone recalled Song Lin's good reputation over the years.

Not only did he fight in battles and achieve great military exploits, but he was also kind-hearted. When treating floods, he almost lost his life to save people, and he never asked for anything in return.

Not only that, but seeing that the people were starving, the Song family took out a lot of money to help them, which is well known to everyone.

"General Song is chivalrous and kind-hearted, and Miss Song is also a kind-hearted person. There is absolutely no way she could be involved with corrupt officials!"

“The Song family owns numerous shops in the city and many estates outside the city. They have no reason to take such a risk to embezzle silver. This is definitely a deliberate frame-up!”

"In comparison, the Qin and Lin families are not so well-off, so it's possible that the two families conspired together."

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but glare angrily at Qin Shuangshuang and the others.

Doing such a thing is unforgivable, let alone now trying to slander the innocent Miss Song!

Song Ruozhen looked at her mother in surprise. Her mother had suffered a lot during this period and was listless. She didn't want to trouble her mother any further.

I never expected that my mother would be so powerful when she stepped in.

"General Qin, my general treated you well when he was alive. Your daughter first stole my daughter's husband, and your son seduced my son's fiancé."

I really don't understand what rift has developed between you and my general that makes you allow your children to target us one after another.

Or have you truly failed in raising your children, allowing them to become so lawless that they lack even the most basic sense of propriety and shame?

Liu Ruyan's eyes were red, and she, who rarely argued with anyone, looked like she had been driven to the edge, which made everyone feel even more sorry for her.

No mother could bear to see her child being bullied like this.

Qin Zheng's face turned ugly; he couldn't possibly respond to those words!

Either way, he has completely lost face.

"Look at all these good kids you've raised!" Qin Zheng said angrily.

Gu Yunwei lowered her head, feeling wronged. Xiang Heng was clearly very promising, but he was dragged down by that bitch Zhao Shuwan!

As for Shuangshuang... if Song Ruozhen hadn't insisted on harming Lin Zhiyue, she would be living a very successful life now.

Ultimately, it was the Song family who caused this!

"Your Highness, the whole dream story is utter nonsense. I beg Your Highness to give my daughter justice!"

"Madam Song, rest assured, I will not allow anyone to slander innocent people," Chu Junting replied.

When Qin Shuangshuang saw Liu Ruyan showing off her power, everyone believed that this matter had nothing to do with Song Ruozhen, and they couldn't help but get anxious.

"Although I don't know how Song Ruozhen knew where the silver was, the dream story is true!"

Mrs. Dong discovered that her son's death was all because Song Ruozhen appeared to her in a dream, and she had expressed her gratitude to her recently.

Now she says she doesn't have that ability, isn't that a contradiction?

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. They had heard about the Dong family's affairs, and Madam Dong herself had admitted that if it weren't for Song Ruozhen, the young master of the Dong family would have died in vain!

"Miss Song, since you claim to be innocent, why don't you explain what really happened?"

Qin Zheng squinted at Song Ruozhen, he didn't believe the girl was truly innocent either, "Only by explaining clearly can you clear your name."

“I did indeed make Madam Dong and Young Master Xiao of the Dong family meet in a dream,” Song Ruozhen said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. What was this? Was he admitting guilt without being asked?

Qin Shuangshuang's eyes lit up. She knew that Song Ruozhen would not give up the Dong family's gratitude to them. But now she wanted to see how Song Ruozhen could refute them!

"Your Highness, look, she herself has admitted it!"

Chu Yungui was startled. What was wrong with Miss Song? If she was really found guilty, that would be terrible.

"No rush." ​​Chu Junting looked at Song Ruozhen with a deep gaze. "Tell me in detail."

"The reason I was able to make Madam Dong and Young Master Dong meet in their dreams is because they are blood relatives."

Moreover, the young master Dong died unjustly, and his vengeful spirit has lingered, following Madam Dong.

That's why I was able to use the rhinoceros horn incense to allow them to meet in their dreams.

Song Ruozhen looked coldly at Qin Shuangshuang, "According to your statement, I wonder if you have any close relationship or connection with Yuan Xingchao that would allow you to dream about his money-making schemes?"

"I see. I've heard about dreams before, but only close relatives, lovers, or old friends have this opportunity."

Ordinary people can't receive messages in dreams. Madam Lin's words are already illogical; could it be that she and Yuan Xingchao have such a deep connection?

"I've heard of this. Some highly accomplished people can help the recently deceased fulfill their last wishes. This must be the case."

Qin Shuangshuang's face turned pale; she was unaware of this matter.

She had only heard a little about these mystical methods and didn't understand them at all.

"Is this what you meant by a dream?" Lin Zhiyue frowned, this was completely unfounded!

“Maybe she has skills that others don’t?” Qin Shuangshuang argued.

However, nobody believed him.

"I can testify that everything Miss Song said is true!" Madam Dong appeared among the people behind her.

Everyone was surprised, "Madam Dong has come too?"

"My husband and I originally wanted to find out who was involved in Yuan Xingchao's case, but we never expected to learn that Miss Song was wronged. My husband and I are both willing to testify!"

The eldest son of the Dong family also nodded, "I can testify that after the incense was lit that night, not only my wife, but I also saw my son!"

But apart from our family members, other maids and servants also smelled it, yet none of them received a dream about it.
