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

"She's not married yet?"

A look of disbelief flashed in Song Yanzhou's eyes.

Song Ruozhen and the others exchanged glances, while Liu Ruyan remained silent.

They had their own guesses as to why they hadn't gotten married; it was very likely because they couldn't let go of Song Yanzhou.

But these were words that neither of them could say aloud before, and the more they understood this, the more they felt sorry for Luo Qingyin.

"Brother, since Miss Luo is not yet married, and you are now divorced, perhaps..."

Song Zhiyu's thoughts were the simplest, and he didn't have many concerns. Anyway, both of them were now free, and as long as they wanted, they could still rekindle their relationship.

However, he was interrupted by Song Yanzhou before he could finish speaking.

"Don't speak nonsense!"

Song Yanzhou lowered his eyes, his eyelashes casting a shadow that obscured his gaze, making it impossible to discern his emotions, yet one could sense a touch of melancholy.

"How could I possibly be worthy of her in my current state? I mustn't speak nonsense and ruin her reputation."

Song Zhiyu nodded, understanding Song Yanzhou's concerns. "Don't worry, brother. I'm just talking about it at home. I won't say anything out of line outside."

They just got divorced, and if such rumors were to spread, Luo Qingyin's reputation would be ruined.

“I heard that Miss Luo has not married because her health has been deteriorating over the past two years. I wonder if her condition has improved now,” Song Yi’an said.

Song Yanzhou was slightly taken aback. "She's not in good health?"

"At first, I was just a little weak, but it started to get worse two years ago..."

Song Yi'an noticed the change in her elder brother's expression and said, "I also heard it from the doctor who treated me. I don't know if my condition has improved."

Song Yanzhou clenched his fists, his guilt growing stronger; it was all his fault!

"Yan Zhou, don't overthink it. Let your mother go back with you first."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes. No one knows a child better than his mother. How could she not understand the torment in Yan Zhou's heart?

However, now is not the right time. She should find an opportunity to inquire about the Luo family's situation first.

Watching the two leave, Song Zhiyu grew increasingly furious. "The Fan family is so despicable and shameless. I can't just let them go like this! I can't swallow this anger!"

"How can we let them go so easily?"

Song Ruozhen chuckled and took out the document hidden in her sleeve.

"what is this?"

Song Zhiyu took the document with a puzzled look and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Weren't those IOUs torn up by that shrew? How come they're still here?"

"She tore up a fake one."

Song Ruozhen and Song Yi'an exchanged a smile; the siblings were remarkably in sync on this point.

At that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the eldest brother and Fan Siying, and no one noticed what Song Ruozhen had done.

She wrote two copies from the beginning, and after forcing Fan Xiangrong to put his fingerprint on them, she secretly kept the real one and gave the fake one to Qian Qiuxiang.

"I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve? Doesn't that mean we can ask them for the money back later?" Song Zhiyu exclaimed happily.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "We've spent so much of our family's money, why shouldn't we get it back? But there's no need to rush, this IOU will come in very handy someday."

"What do you mean?" Song Zhiyu asked curiously.

Song Yi'an chuckled, "The Fan family is greedy by nature. How can they be at ease without their cash cow?"

They'll definitely cause trouble, turn around and blame us for everything. This IOU will then serve as evidence!

Song Zhiyu suddenly realized that his second brother and fifth sister had actually foreseen all of this.

"So... that's why you didn't let your eldest brother divorce his wife directly?"

He had never dared to say it, but since Fan Siying was that kind of person, why didn't she just write a letter of divorce instead of insisting on a separation?

This actually saved them face!

“That’s right,” Song Ruozhen replied. “You witnessed firsthand how shameless their family was today.”

“If she went out crying and shouting that the Song family had wronged her, or that her elder brother had been away on the battlefield for two years while she stayed home to take care of things, but then he divorced her as soon as he returned, then her elder brother would become a heartless and unfaithful person.”

"Since ancient times, women's cries have always been more believable. If they make a scene, the elder brother's explanation will be hard to believe."

But she brought a divorce agreement, not a letter of separation, which makes a lot of sense.

Song Ruozhen's eyes were icy as she recalled how Song Yanzhou in the book was slandered and ridiculed by everyone, and ultimately met a tragic end.

An eye for an eye, she'll make the Fan family reap what they sow!

In their past lives, they were the last straw that broke Song Yanzhou's back, and in this life, they will be the last straw that breaks the back of the Fan family!

Song Zhiyu swallowed hard. He had initially thought that the Fan family getting away with it today was too good for them, but now he suddenly felt that... the Fan family was really unlucky!

Song Yi'an curled her lips and teased, "Fifth sister, the clothes you had Fan Siying take away weren't just because you thought they were dirty, were they?"

"Fifth Brother really knows me well. I also added a little something to the clothes."

Song Ruozhen blinked. She had insulted her older brother and angered her mother. How could she go back unscathed? Where was her dignity?

Song Zhiyu: "!!!"

……

Fan Siying and her two companions arrived at the Song family in high spirits, but now they are slinking back home in disgrace.

Originally, Song Zhiyu had said he would send a carriage to take them back, but now, there was no carriage at all, and they were simply kicked out the door.

Just carrying that pile of clothes was tiring for all three of them.

Fan Xiangrong's arm had been reattached, but the pain from before still terrified him. Now, having to carry his clothes on his back only made him feel more and more uncomfortable.

"Sister, didn't you say that the Song family dotes on you, especially your mother-in-law?"

I thought I would definitely be able to pay back the money today, but I didn't get a single copper coin and was even kicked out.

"I don't care, I've suffered so much today, you have to help me get this money!"

Fan Siying's face turned pale. "If it weren't for you, how could I have been kicked out of the house?"

Every time I helped you pay off your debts, you promised you'd never gamble again, but you always went back to gambling. If it weren't for you, would Song Yanzhou have been able to divorce me?

Thinking of this, Fan Siying couldn't help but feel resentful. Her mother-in-law had always treated her very well, but because of this money!

How difficult is it for a divorced woman to remarry well?

She's probably going to have a rough time from now on!

"Isn't it because you're useless? That Song Ruozhen, a mere girl, dares to bully you and act like a big shot!"

"You haven't been able to control the Song family for two years, and you've ended up like this because you're useless. If I were to get married, would you dare speak to her like that?"

Qian Qiuxiang also felt that Fan Xiangrong was right, "It's because you're useless! Not only are you good-for-nothing, but you've also caused me and your brother to be bullied."

I even praised you for your cunning before, and look at you now!

"Mother, I've already done this much, are you still going to blame me?" Fan Siying stomped her foot angrily.

Qian Qiuxiang's eyes darted around, and thinking that she would have to rely on Siying to pay off Xiang Rong's debts, she said, "Don't be sad. Does the Song family think that everything will be fine once they get the divorce papers? It's not that easy!"
