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

"Isn't everything I'm doing for my husband? If the Song family hadn't been pressuring me so much, and I hadn't been worried that he would lose his official position, why would I have taken such a risk?"

Qin Shuangshuang covered her slapped face, looking aggrieved. If it weren't for everyone's sake, why would she have to do this?

"If you're going to take such a risk, then at least help us solve this problem. What's the point of sending us all to jail?"

Old Madam Lin's eyes were filled with resentment. "I have never been to a prison cell in my entire life. If word gets out, how will my Lin family have any face left?"

"Madam Lin, my daughter meant well in this matter. If your family weren't so useless, would my daughter have gone to so much trouble?"

Gu Yunwei was indeed angry with Qin Shuangshuang, but she didn't care about the responsibility of being family. What was the point of Old Madam Lin shifting all the blame onto her at this moment?

"If you hadn't indulged in pleasure and spent so much money, how could you be so heavily in debt now?"

I heard that you've been eating and living well these past two years, and the number of servants and maids serving you in your mansion is astonishing, not to mention the precious medicinal herbs like Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng that you've used to recuperate.

You say my daughter harmed your son? You should think about your own problems instead!

"You only cared about indulging in pleasure before, and now you owe so much money that the younger generation has to pay it off. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Over the past two years, Lin Ruolan has been among the most prominent people in the city.

Since the old Marquis passed away, the Marquis's mansion has become sparsely populated. If Lin Zhiyue is not capable of supporting the entire mansion, the Marquis's mansion will likely be removed from the imperial city.

Unexpectedly, after the Lin family and the Song family got engaged, they lived a life of great success. Needless to say, they wore gold and silver, and Song Ruozhen was very considerate in every way, which made many people envious. They thought the Lin family had gotten incredibly lucky, and even she had previously disliked them.

When had Madam Lin ever been insulted like this?

"So you're blaming me now? It's perfectly reasonable for me to spend my daughter-in-law's money. If it weren't for your shameless daughter who knew my son was engaged but still tried to seduce him, I wouldn't be living this miserable life now!"

"What kind of girl is so ill-mannered, chasing a man all the way to the border without any status or title? A general's daughter, no less! I think she's just a loose-fitting little slut!"

Lin Ruolan's words were sharp and harsh, showing Qin Shuangshuang no respect whatsoever.

"What...what did you say?" Gu Yunwei's face flushed with anger. "Is this all my daughter's fault, and your son has no problem at all?"

Lin Ruolan retorted, "What's wrong with my son? He's already working hard fighting on the front lines. If a woman were offered to him, what man wouldn't want her?"

In the end, it's your daughter who's shameless, a shameless slut who offered herself up. My son only made a mistake that any man would make!

"You, you, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Gu Yunwei was furious, but she couldn't refute her.

This incident only makes the woman's reputation even worse.

She looked down and around, then picked up a lump of mud from the ground and threw it at the person.

"You mean old hag, do you think your family is so great? My daughter would never have fallen for your family if she weren't blind!"

Lin Ruolan was hit in the face with mud, and the foul stench made her vomit immediately.

"You dare throw me around? I'll settle this score with you today!"

Without a word, the two women started throwing each other around, neither willing to back down. The already smelly cell became even more foul, not to mention the two usually respectable ladies, now covered in mud and looking utterly wretched.

"Mother, mother-in-law, please stop fighting!"

Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but feel anxious. She wanted to live a good life with Zhiyue, and the two families should live in harmony.

If this continues, how can we reconcile the enmity we've formed today?

Gu Yunwei and Lin Ruolan were both furious, but Qin Shuangshuang insisted on standing in the middle, resulting in her hair, face, and body being covered in mud, and even her eyes being covered in it!

"Husband, please help me persuade my mother-in-law," Qin Shuangshuang said anxiously.

Lin Zhiyue already knew how filthy the mud was, and the stench on his body was already unbearable for him. So when he saw the two sides arguing, he subconsciously stepped back.

"Mother, please stop."

Lin Zhiyue, with a stern face, bowed to Qin Zheng and Gu Yunwei.

“Father-in-law, mother-in-law, things have escalated to this point. I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but now that things have come to this, we should think about how to get out of this mess, instead of fighting amongst ourselves.”

Qin Zheng was furious. Although he was unhappy with Lin Zhiyue, he understood that what Lin Zhiyue said was right.

"All right!"

As soon as Qin Zheng spoke, Gu Yunwei stopped. "General, what should we do now?"

"Shuangshuang, tell me the truth, how did you find out?" Qin Zheng asked in a deep voice.

Qin Shuangshuang's story remained unchanged: "Father, I really found out in a dream."

The silver wasn't found so quickly at first. It was only after a heavy rain that she happened to be passing by and noticed something was wrong with the soil under her feet.

Moreover, at that time, the person in charge of trying the case was not the King of Chu, but Liang Yan, the Minister of Justice.

The King of Chu went to Jiangnan because of the flood, and she was in love with him at the time, so she handed over the silver to him to make a contribution, hoping that the King of Chu would look at her differently.

Who would have thought that the heartless man would not only completely ignore her, but also deliberately wait several months before returning, which completely broke her heart.

"Bring Qin Shuangshuang out!"

The voice of Zhao Wenshu, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, came, and then the jailer opened the cell door and dragged Qin Shuangshuang out.

"What are you trying to do? I'm not going out!"

Qin Shuangshuang looked terrified. How could she endure torture?

"Now you can't just choose not to go. If you dare to make such a big mistake, you should be prepared to face the consequences!"

I advise you to honestly confess everything to avoid suffering physical pain!

"I do not!"

Lin Zhiyue's expression also changed. "Everything Shuangshuang said is true. Why won't you believe it?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll see after the torture!"

Soon, screams of agony echoed from within the dungeon...

Song Ruozhen and her entourage left Shuntian Prefecture. Looking at the Dong family couple before them, Liu Ruyan said gratefully:

"Thank you both for coming here to testify for my daughter. Otherwise, I'm afraid Qin Shuangshuang would still be holding a grudge against me."

“This is what we should do.” Xu Yingqiao quickly waved her hand. “We can never repay Miss Song’s great kindness to us. It is only right that we testify now. Please don’t be shy, Madam Song.”

"Thank you both for your help today." Song Ruozhen smiled, her gaze falling on Xu Yingqiao's belly. "Has Mrs. Dong had any good news lately?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yingqiao instinctively covered her abdomen with her hand, her eyes filled with joy.

“Miss Song, I… I am pregnant now, but I don’t know…”

"Some relationships are predestined, and I believe that your wishes will come true."
