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

Chapter 970 Getting entangled?

Song Ruozhen understood; this was the crux of the problem.

"Mother, are you worried that Grandmother will soften her heart and want Gu Qingzhe to come back? But once Grandmother speaks up, Grandfather will definitely get angry, and that might cause some trouble, right?"

To be honest, both my eldest and second uncles were very happy about my mother's return, but Gu Qingzhe had a lot of opinions about her and was wholeheartedly protecting Liu Yunwei.

Even after the whole family made their stance clear, Gu Qingzhe still valued his childhood friendship with Liu Yunwei and ignored his mother, even feeling that his mother's presence had caused Liu Yunwei to suffer greatly.

In her opinion, it would be best if such a person never came back.

However, from the grandmother's perspective, it's understandable that she would also be reluctant to part with her son.

"I don't actually resent Gu Qingzhe. I've been living in the Liu family for all those years."

He had no feelings for me, and I had no feelings for him either. He was just a stranger. I didn't care how he was doing or whether he came back.

However, your maternal grandfather's health was not very good to begin with, but he has recently improved quite a bit. If your maternal grandmother brings up this matter, it would be bad if the two of them started arguing.

Moreover, your maternal grandmother's health isn't good either. This incident has been a source of worry for her ever since it happened; I can tell.

Gu Ruyan recalled that when her mother mentioned Gu Qingzhe unintentionally, her expression clearly showed sadness. She must have been feeling very sad, but she had never shown it in front of everyone.

"Mother, don't worry."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "I know what you hope for is harmony in your family and that everyone is doing well, only then can you feel at ease."

Since Gu Qingzhe wants to go back, then he should be the one to find a way to return.

“If he succeeds, we won’t stop him, but he has broken his family’s hearts. He did it himself, so we can’t expect you to help him.”

You owe him nothing, so there's no need for you to worry about him.

"Zhen'er, you've really grown up now, you've become your mother's pillar of support."

Gu Ruyan's eyes were full of satisfaction as she brought out the pigeon soup and said, "Try it quickly. This pigeon soup is very nourishing. It also contains some medicinal herbs, and it tastes very good. You should drink more of it."

“Okay, since my mother cooked it herself, I’ll definitely drink more of it.”

After Gu Ruyan left, Song Ruozhen looked thoughtfully at her mother's departing figure and waved to Bai Zhi.

"Bai Zhi, follow them and see if you get caught."

Although Bai Zhi was surprised, she replied without hesitation, "I'll go right away!"

Chu Junting happened to notice Bai Zhi leaving, so he went into the house and asked, "What happened?"

"I suspect that Gu Qingzhe contacted my mother and must have said something, but my mother didn't say it out loud. I'm sure it wasn't something nice."

Song Ruozhen turned to look at the man beside her, "I know my mother's temperament very well. She is very soft-hearted. If Gu Qingzhe really apologizes to her, she will definitely agree."

But just now, her expression clearly showed that after being criticized, she was unsure whether she had done anything wrong.

Chu Junting's eyes darkened. "Gu Qingzhe still can't grasp the situation? How dare he say such hurtful things to my mother-in-law?"

Song Ruozhen wasn't in a good mood initially, but seeing Chu Junting's serious expression, she suddenly chuckled and said:

"Why don't you, as the son-in-law, go and take a look? This is a perfect opportunity for you to prove yourself!"

“Leave it to me,” Chu Junting replied.

Not long after leaving the Chu Prince's mansion, Gu Ruyan bumped into Gu Qingzhe at a corner.

The moment Gu Qingzhe saw Gu Ruyan, his expression became urgent, and he immediately pulled her into a nearby alley.

"Let me go!"

Gu Ruyan brushed Gu Qingzhe's hand away, her elegant and noble face showing displeasure.

"Gu Ruyan, I'm still your third brother, what kind of attitude is this?"

Gu Qingzhe looked displeased, even though he knew that the reason he had fallen into such a sorry state was because he had been determined to help Yun Wei.

However, he was deceived by Liu Yunwei at that time and never expected that she would do such things.

He now knows he was wrong, but having severed ties with his family, his father has expelled him from the family register, and it won't be easy for him to go back now.

After much thought, he realized that Gu Ruyan was the root of the problem!

After all, if it weren't for discovering her true identity, so many things wouldn't have happened. The reason her father and two brothers have always protected Gu Ruyan is because they feel indebted to her.

Therefore, as long as Gu Ruyan is willing to speak up for her, her family will definitely agree!

"Didn't you think Liu Ruyan was your sister before? There's no affection between us, and my attitude towards you is perfectly fine."

After listening to Ruozhen's words, Gu Ruyan felt that what she said made perfect sense, and that she had no reason to feel guilty.

“If you want to go back, go and ask your father yourself. I don’t care about your affairs. I won’t stop you, but I won’t help you either.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingzhe's expression changed, and he quickly said:

"You know very well why I was kicked out. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have been so heartless to me."

Now that I've fallen on hard times, even if you're still angry, you should have calmed down by now!

"Do you really want to drive me to the brink of despair before you feel satisfied?"

"Gu Qingzhe, the reason you were kicked out is because you made mistakes time and time again and didn't listen to your father's advice."

You insisted on leaving back then, and now you want to go back. It's only right that you ask your father and the others for forgiveness. What does that have to do with me?

I didn't kick you out before, and I won't ask you to come back now.

Gu Ruyan's initial hesitation turned into disdain upon seeing Gu Qingzhe's matter-of-fact attitude.

After saying this, Gu Ruyan turned and left, too lazy to pay any more attention.

There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. Both of his older brothers were excellent people, but Gu Qingzhe was completely different from them.

Seeing that Gu Ruyan was really ignoring him, Gu Qingzhe quickly stopped her.

“I am your own brother. I understand that you are angry about how I treated you back then.”

I never expected Liu Yunwei to lie to me. I grew up with her since I was little, and I'm not familiar with you. I've always considered her as my younger sister. I didn't mean to target you.

"You've helped me now, and I'll remember your kindness. Wouldn't it be better if we, as siblings, could get along well in the future?"

“Last time, Mother was also very upset and cried her eyes out. You saw it. Are you just going to stand by and watch Mother suffer? As her daughter, are you not going to help her at all?”

Isn't this too selfish of you? How can you face your mother for all the good she's done for you these past few days?

Don't you have any intention of repaying your mother properly?
