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

Upon hearing this answer, Xu Yingqiao's eyes brightened even more, but her eyes involuntarily reddened.

"Miss Song, thank you so much, thank you so much."

Dong Hanzhou understood the deeper meaning of these words, and his usually handsome face could not hide his excitement.

“Miss Song, you are truly a benefactor to the Dong family. If you ever need our help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

"If Dong can do it, I will never refuse; even if Dong cannot do it, I will try my best to find a way."

These words carried great weight, and Liu Ruyan couldn't help but wonder why these two were so excited when her daughter had only offered a blessing.

“Madam Song, you have a good daughter and a promising son. I believe everything will get better and better,” Dong Hanzhou said.

Liu Ruyan smiled broadly, "Thank you."

As the group prepared to leave Shuntian Prefecture, they heard Chu Junting's voice behind them.

"Miss Song, please wait."

Song Ruozhen turned her head and saw Chu Junting walking slowly towards her.

He was dressed in a long black robe, his figure was perfect, his handsome features were flawless, and his noble temperament and ascetic aura intertwined, as if he had stepped into people's hearts.

"Mother, you and Third Brother should get on the carriage and wait for me."

"Okay." Liu Ruyan nodded, but she was still puzzled.

I've always heard that the King of Chu is aloof and rarely interacts with young ladies. I was already surprised enough to see him in the mansion last time, but today I've seen him taking the initiative to approach Zhen'er again.

"Your Highness specifically sought me out; could it be that you suspect me because of the embezzled funds?"

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. In fact, neither she nor Qin Shuangshuang could explain this matter clearly.

Qin Shuangshuang was reborn, so she naturally knew what happened in her previous life in advance. She had not only read the first part of the book, but she could also calculate it.

From Chu Junting's perspective, it's normal for him to have doubts and disbelief in metaphysics.

“I have never doubted you,” Chu Junting said.

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback; this was beyond her expectations.

"Not to mention that the Song family is full of loyal and righteous people and would not do anything corrupt or illegal, you are not short of money and have no need to collude with Yuan Xingchao."

The King of Chu smiled, his handsome face appearing casual and unrestrained, yet softening his coldness and adding a touch of humanity.

"The money has been found, and the Qin family members have been captured. This matter can be considered settled. You have helped me out of my immediate predicament."

Chu Junting paused for a moment, then said, "Your second brother is full of talent. It would be a waste to leave him at home. If you are willing, I can recommend him to be a teacher at the Imperial Academy. What do you say?"

Song Ruozhen suddenly realized that Chu Junting had made such an arrangement.

It must be said that if Song Yi'an's eyes cannot be cured, becoming a teacher at the Imperial Academy would indeed be a good option.

The Imperial Academy already held a high status, and its teachers were highly respected figures. It was not a waste of her second brother's talent, but now her second brother could no longer use it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but my second brother already has a plan."

"You have even better plans?" Chu Junting asked in surprise.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "His Highness will know soon; just wait a few more days."

"Then I shall wait and see."

Seeing Song Ruozhen leave, Chu Yungui quietly approached, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Third brother, I think Miss Song is truly brave and resourceful. She was targeted today but remained completely unafraid. If it were an ordinary girl, I'm afraid many would have been scared out of their wits."

Chu Junting regained his usual indifference and said, "I'll leave the rest to Lord Liang to investigate. With careful analysis, we should make progress."

"Understood. Lord Liang and Lord Zhao have already gone to the prison. I believe we will have results soon."

……

Song House.

Song Ruozhen had just returned when she bumped into Yun Chunian, who was rushing out. "Chunian, where are you going?"

"Ruozhen, you're back!" Yun Chunian exclaimed with delight. "I was just looking for you today to chat, but you went to Shuntian Prefecture. I was just about to go and find you."

"Tell me, did the Shuntian Prefecture hold a trial for Qin Xiangheng's case today? Is there any progress?"

Song Ruozhen shook her head. "No."

"How could there not be?" Yun Chunian said with dissatisfaction. "The matter has become such a big fuss. Shuntian Prefecture should give you an explanation no matter what. They can't just ignore it, can they?"

"With the Qin and Lin families in trouble today, they probably won't be able to take care of Qin Xiangheng for the time being."

Yun Chunian's eyes widened. "What happened to the Qin family again?"

After Song Ruozhen recounted what had happened that day, Yun Nianchu found it unbelievable and was at a loss for words.

"Qin Shuangshuang is far too audacious to even dare to embezzle such a sum of money. It's fortunate that you didn't marry into the Lin family, otherwise this matter would have dragged you down with you."

Yun Chunian was overjoyed, but then her expression turned to disappointment. "However, if the Qin family gets involved in this matter, wouldn't Xi Wan's marriage be doomed?"

Seeing the woman's gloating expression, Song Ruozhen could guess what would happen to Yun Xiwan after she returned to the Yun residence.

"What about Yun Xiwan's matter?"

"This matter is quite interesting. Yun Xiwan was convinced that Qin Xiangheng was capable and would definitely pass the imperial examination this spring."

Although her mother was always favored in the household, she was ultimately born out of wedlock, and it was not easy for her to marry a scion of a high-ranking family. That's why she took such a risk.

Who would have thought that Zhao Shuwan's marriage would be revealed, turning Qin Xiangheng from a highly sought-after catch into a complete scumbag.

"When Auntie found out that she had acted intimately with Qin Xiangheng in order to save him, and even kissed him in front of so many people, she almost fainted from anger."

Her father was furious. He slapped her and made her kneel in the ancestral hall.

The aunt pleaded earnestly, still hoping to marry Yun Xiwan off to the Qin family. Although it was a shameful affair, the Qin family held a respectable position, and Qin Xiangheng had a good chance of passing the imperial examinations; it was a decent match for them.

"So you find out that Qin Xiangheng has been arrested by the authorities. I wonder if this marriage can continue. Yun Xiwan's reputation is ruined, and she's probably furious at home right now?" Song Ruozhen asked, raising an eyebrow.

Yun Nianchu nodded. "Yun Xiwan thought this was a good marriage, but now she's stuck here and doesn't know what to do."

I heard her smashing things inside the house when I went out today; she must be furious.

Song Ruozhen smiled faintly. She knew that Yun Nianchu had suffered a lot because of Yun Xiwan over the years, and seeing her scheme so thoroughly made her feel happy.

"I'm afraid that once word gets out about what happened today, my dad will be the one smashing things."

Yun Nianchu spread her hands, her lips curving upwards involuntarily.

"You're really carefree. Aren't you worried that Yun Xiwan's ruined reputation will affect you?"

Song Ruozhen's eyes revealed helplessness. If this got out, people would inevitably think that the Yun family was not strict in their discipline, with an unmarried girl taking the initiative to offer herself to them, while Yun Nianchu was only interested in watching the joke and didn't care at all.
