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

Chapter 975 Sent to the Prison

Seeing Gu Qingzhe suddenly rush over, Gu Zhaoyuan quickly said, "Third Uncle, you've misunderstood."

"What misunderstanding? I watched with my own eyes as you ganged up on her, knowing full well that she was one of my women and now that she's pregnant. Did you have your servants detaining her like a prisoner?"

Gu Qingzhe looked annoyed. Although he was saying this to the three people, his eyes were clearly fixed on Song Ruozhen.

He originally thought that as long as Gu Ruyan was willing to speak up for him, he would definitely be able to return to the Gu family smoothly.

After all, her parents felt guilty towards Gu Ruyan and certainly wouldn't refuse her request.

Who would have thought that she wouldn't help him at all? Not only was she unwilling to say a kind word, but his daughter even harassed other ladies in the street. It was outrageous!

Song Ruozhen looked at Gu Qingzhe coldly. She originally had no feelings for this third uncle, but now she felt utterly disgusted.

"Third Uncle, she suddenly ran up and bumped into us. She refused to apologize and was even acting like an elder," Gu Huan'er explained with a frown.

Zhu Niantao clung to Gu Qingzhe's hand as if grasping at a lifeline, her expression one of utter grievance.

"My husband, I really didn't mean it."

I originally just wanted to say hello, but I accidentally bumped into Zhaoyuan. However, I thought we were all family, so it didn't matter. I just wanted to chat with them a bit more.

I hoped they could put in a good word for us so we could go back sooner, but I never expected them to…

Zhu Niantao lowered her head, her eyes reddening, "It was my fault. I am of lowly status and am not worthy to speak to them..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingzhe was immediately enraged, feeling that Song Ruozhen and her group had gone too far, taking advantage of their high status to bully and humiliate Zhu Niantao at will.

"Huan'er, I know you are now the Princess Consort of Yun, and your status is extraordinary, but we are still family."

"You can't look down on your third uncle just because you married into a better family, can you?"

"Third Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

She was in the wrong for hitting someone, and besides, she's about our age, yet she acts like an elder in everything she does. We don't even know who she is; are we supposed to treat her like royalty?

Gu Huan'er was not polite at this moment. She noticed that her third uncle's expression just now was clearly directed at her cousin, but this matter was caused by Zhu Niantao, and her cousin did nothing wrong.

Besides, this woman is far too good at pretending!

"She's pregnant with my child now, and she's your elder, so what's the problem?"

Gu Qingzhe completely ignored what Gu Huan'er said and looked at Zhu Niantao with concern, "Is the child alright?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Niantao touched her belly and said, "I just feel a little uncomfortable, but it should be nothing serious."

"laugh."

Song Ruozhen scoffed. Such a low-level tactic was a waste of her time.

"Since you're so protective of her, why don't you apologize on her behalf?"

Gu Qingzhe was stunned, looking at Song Ruozhen in disbelief, "You want me to apologize to you?"

"What? She's shameless, so you're just as shameless?" Song Ruozhen retorted.

"What did you say? I'm your third uncle! How dare you talk to me like that? It's incredibly rude!"

Gu Qingzhe's face turned ashen, and Zhu Niantao's heart skipped a beat. She had thought it was one thing for Song Ruozhen not to acknowledge her, but now she felt that Song Ruozhen didn't take Gu Qingzhe seriously at all.

“I have never had a third uncle. When I was recognizing my relatives, I only had two uncles. There is no one named you in the Gu family genealogy. I hope you will not make false claims about kinship.”

Song Ruozhen's expression was arrogant, her eyes revealing nonchalance. "Either you apologize for her, or you both go to jail. You choose whichever you want!"

Seeing Song Ruozhen's firm attitude, Gu Qingzhe was momentarily speechless.

"three."

"two."

"Bai Zhi, take the person to the government office," Song Ruozhen said.

Seeing that Song Ruozhen had announced the result so directly, Gu Qingzhe couldn't help but say, "You haven't even counted to one!"

"I'm not going to give you a chance now."

Gu Huan'er and Gu Zhaoyuan exchanged a silent glance. They knew that Ruozhen was usually very kind to them, but her temper was definitely not to be underestimated.

It's one thing to stay silent, but the first thing you say is something drastic.

"My third uncle used to be arrogant in our mansion, but he forgot that my cousin never listens to that kind of behavior."

Looks like there's more to come.

Gu Huan'er shrugged. She had no sympathy for her third uncle at all; he deserved it!

"I'm really starting to hate Third Uncle more and more. We can all see what kind of person Zhu Niantao is, yet Third Uncle keeps protecting her. He's just brainless!"

Gu Zhaoyuan looked disgusted, but she actually thought Ruozhen's actions were very satisfying and this was the result she deserved!

"Gu Qingzhe, you really need to get your eyes treated properly."

"You want to marry someone like that? No wonder you were able to hang out with Liu Yunwei back then, you're birds of a feather!"

Song Ruozhen glanced at Zhu Niantao indifferently, "I don't know where she gets her confidence from, thinking she can get someone pregnant in one night."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Niantao, who was already panicked, felt her heart sink even further. Her scalp tingled and her mind went blank.

How could Song Ruozhen have known!

She kept this a secret so well, there was no way anyone could have known!

Gu Qingzhe didn't think much of it at the moment, only feeling that Song Ruozhen was mocking him, and angrily said:

"Don't speak so harshly. I did misjudge Liu Yunwei before, but I grew up with her and consider her my own sister."

How could someone as cold-hearted as you possibly understand? I truly don't know how you could be so cruel!

On the contrary, Gu Zhaoyuan and the other person keenly sensed something and subconsciously looked at Song Ruozhen.

No way?

Is the child in Zhu Niantao's belly not her third uncle's?

However, Song Ruozhen's reaction made them realize that it was true.

After that person was taken away, Gu Huan'er quickly took Song Ruozhen's hand and asked in surprise:

"Cousin, what you just said is true, isn't the child in Zhu Niantao's belly Uncle's?"

Song Ruozhen nodded, "It's not his."

If such words came from someone else, they would likely be considered rumors, and the two of them would certainly not believe them. But since they came from Song Ruozhen, no evidence was needed; it was absolutely true.

"This, this..." Gu Zhaoyuan was at a loss for words for a moment. "Is Third Uncle an idiot? Doesn't he even know if the child is his?"

“He’s always been brainless, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so easily fooled by Liu Yunwei. He couldn’t even tell his own sister apart from his own child, so what’s so strange about that?” Song Ruozhen retorted.

Gu Huan'er: "...That seems to make sense."
