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

Chapter 946 Fighting and snatching

Listening to her sister-in-law's words, Chu Muyao thought about how she had indeed previously considered what kind of man she liked.

She was completely deceived by that scumbag boyfriend. Perhaps she had heard too many stories and thought that such a life-saving grace was a predestined fate, which is why she foolishly believed it.

Looking back now, I realize how incredibly stupid I was to like such a jerk!

However, she used to think that the husband she liked would definitely be an official or a great general like her third brother. But now, thinking of Song Jingshen, she felt that there was no one better than him in the world.

“What my sister-in-law said makes sense. I think Changping and this young master are quite a good match.”

Chu Muyao breathed a sigh of relief. "I was worried that the Qi family would harm her and ruin her reputation. It would be terrible if she lost all hope for the future."

At this point, Chu Muyao suddenly paused, a look of astonishment flashing in her eyes. "Wait a minute, sister-in-law, didn't you say that Changping... that man just now was a prince of the Qi Yue Dynasty?"

"Finally realized?" Song Ruozhen chuckled. "Compared to Wu Jingshuo, this person seems much better. He is not a womanizer, nor is he as frivolous and irresponsible as Wu Jingshuo."

I just looked at his face; he's a man of great loyalty and affection, but he suffered a lot in the past.

"He's having a hard time?" Chu Muyao was completely confused. "He's a prince of the Qi Yue Dynasty, how could he be having a hard time? Has he been on the battlefield all this time?"

In her memory, none of the princes and princesses had ever suffered.

Of all the people, the third prince had the hardest time, because he was always on the battlefield.

In the past, whenever the Empress Dowager mentioned the Third Prince, she couldn't help but feel heartache and longed for him to come back, but the border couldn't function without the Third Prince.

Song Ruozhen shook her head and said, "What kind of person do you think would always remember the feelings from the past? It was just a promise made when we were children, but it has always been engraved in their heart and they have never forgotten it?"

Chu Muyao was slightly taken aback, as she was indeed unaware of this situation.

Thinking back to the promise she made when she was a child, she has long forgotten it and can't remember anything at all.

"This kind of person is often because they have received too little kindness in life, so they remember every bit of kindness they receive."

As Song Ruozhen finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed in Chu Muyao's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

She seemed to suddenly understand.

"So, his special request to marry the princess this time, could it be that he's after Changping?"

“If it is an arranged marriage, even if the Qi family is present, the matter may be resolved before the marriage is finalized.”

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "I think it's not impossible."

Chu Muyao couldn't help but click her tongue, "Why is this person so competitive and greedy! Just now, when I saw him, it seemed like it was just a chance encounter, what's with all the pretense!"

"You made me cry so many times, and it turns out I was just a shield!"

Chu Muyao went from being bewildered at first to getting angrier and angrier as she talked. Ever since she learned about the marriage alliance, she felt like she had been struck by lightning.

Although her sister-in-law later told her that there was a turning point, which gave her a glimmer of hope, she remained uneasy and anxious.

In just a few days, she lost several pounds, but it turned out that the person she wanted to marry from the beginning was Changping, and she had absolutely nothing to do with this matter.

"I'm so angry! Why didn't this guy explain this earlier?!"

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but laugh as she listened to Chu Muyao's complaints: "He had already set off from the Qi Yue Dynasty, but the news from the border arrived a few days earlier."

If the news hadn't come so early, you wouldn't be in such a rush now.

Chu Muyao: "I feel like I've been crying for days, and I even have a new wrinkle at the corner of my eye."

"Alright, alright, now I can finally relax. I told you before, but you wouldn't believe me. I'm only at ease now that I've seen it with my own eyes."

Song Ruozhen patted Chu Muyao's shoulder, feeling relieved. She was just as worried that her fourth brother's engagement might change.

……

Three days later.

"Wu Shengze invited us to go to the Deer Forest together?"

Song Ruozhen listened to Chu Junting's words, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

"There are more deer and other small animals in Lulin recently. They are harmless and it is a good place to visit."

He said he wanted to thank me for my previous help, and that he invited not only us, but also Mu Yao and your fourth brother. Chang Ping will certainly be there too.

Chu Junting put his arm around Song Ruozhen's shoulder and accompanied her for a walk in the courtyard.

He had heard from the doctor before that while pregnant women need to rest more, they should also exercise moderately to relax, which is good for Zhen'er and the baby.

"He originally wanted to invite us to go hiking together, but after learning that you were pregnant, he changed it to going to the deer forest to see small animals. We can also go hunting in the back mountain then."

Hearing Chu Junting's words, Song Ruozhen's beautiful eyes curved slightly. "It seems you think Wu Shengze is a decent person?"

"Much better than that Wu Jingshuo from before," Chu Junting nodded.

"Did he go to see Wu Yue'er after he arrived in the capital?"

Song Ruozhen turned her gaze. Since the last incident, Wu Yue'er had been staying in the Kang Prince's Mansion and had not come out again. It was obvious that she was under house arrest.

King Kang never wanted to marry Wu Yue'er. Being cuckolded was so shameful. If it weren't for the fact that she was a princess of the Qi Yue Dynasty, he would have executed her long ago.

"He asked, but after learning that Wu Yue'er was unwell and recuperating at home, he didn't ask again."

According to what I understand, he has a bad relationship with both Wu Yue'er and Wu Jingshuo; in fact, they could be described as hostile.

Song Ruozhen understood. "It's normal for princes to have a bad relationship. He seems much more reliable than Wu Jingshuo. But now that you've looked into it, you must know more specific details, right?"

"He was a wanderer when he was young, and he was on the verge of death many times. If it weren't for his mother's men who risked their lives to protect him, he would have been dead long ago."

It is said that he spent some time in our dynasty when he was a child, so he is very familiar with our customs. His acquaintance with Changping was based on his experience of being stranded abroad at that time.

Through Chu Junting's explanation, Song Ruozhen also understood.

Wu Jingshuo and Wu Yue'er were born to the Empress of the Qi Yue Dynasty, while Wu Shengze's mother was always favored and was a thorn in the Empress's side.

Later, when she saw that his mother had given birth to Wu Shengze, and that Wu Shengze was intelligent and highly valued by the emperor, she felt threatened. So she calmly assassinated Wu Shengze's mother when she took him out of the palace to return to her parents' home.

Wu Shengze's mother died protecting him, and Wu Shengze had no way to return to the palace at that time.

Left with no other choice, he was escorted out of the city by those around him, but was constantly pursued and forced to wander.

In the end, to save his life, he came to the Chu You Dynasty, which allowed him to escape the pursuit.
