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

Chapter 927 Rescue

"Qian'er and Chao'er have been studying hard all these years just to take the imperial examination. I don't have any ability to become an official in this life, and I can't help them much."

But if I resign now, what will become of them?

Lord Sun hesitated for a moment. He was naturally distressed for Changping, but he also had two other sons.

He knew how hard his two sons had worked to pass the imperial examinations, and he was worried that they wouldn't be able to handle the news if he told them now.

Madam Sun understood Lord Sun's concerns, and a sense of helplessness filled her heart.

“I understand your thoughts. Qian’er and Chao’er can still study, and they are all grown up now.”

If they can really pass the imperial examinations and achieve fame, then we can let go of them with peace of mind after they have settled down and started their own families, right?

But think about Changping. She's had a hard time all these years. The Qi family is a scourge, ruining her reputation and making her what she is now.

As she spoke, Madam Sun wiped away her tears with heartache, "Although all of this was caused by Qi Junming, you didn't see Madam Qi's disgusting face today."

I know without even thinking that she will definitely try every means to smear Changping in the future, and then Changping will not be able to marry into a good family at all.

Even if she gets married, this matter will always be brought up, and I don't want Changping to live like that in the future.

After hearing her words and thinking about the scene that Changping might have to go through, Lord Sun immediately nodded.

“You’re right. We can’t let Changping suffer like this. Chao’er and Qian’er certainly wouldn’t want Changping to suffer either.”

I will make my preparations tonight, and resign from my post tomorrow!

Madam Sun then smiled with relief, "Alright!"

Changping, standing outside the door, listened to her parents' conversation, her eyes already reddening.

She has always been aware of her background; she is not her parents' biological child. However, over the years, her parents have always treated her as their own daughter, even better than their two younger brothers.

She had always been grateful to her parents, but she never expected that they would be willing to go to this lengths for her!

"My father was willing to resign from his official post for my sake, and my mother was willing to separate from her two younger brothers for my sake as well."

My father had worked so hard to become an official and move to the capital. He always said he wanted to spend the rest of his life there, but now he's going to give up everything he'd worked so hard for because of me.

Changping's heart trembled. In fact, she had always felt that she was very lucky.

Although she was born into a dysfunctional family and her mother died early, she was entrusted to her current parents for upbringing.

They not only did not mistreat her, but took extra care of her. Even after she learned her true identity, that she was actually a member of the royal family and had been granted the title of Princess Changping.

Many people say that her parents are very lucky to have adopted her, but she knows very well that her parents treat her well not because of her background.

"How can I let my actions drag all of them down?"

"I don't deserve it..."

Changping quietly slipped out of the princess's residence.

She had never felt that life was so bleak, and she hated Qi Junming to the core.

Fortunately, I heard about Qi Junming's punishment at the Dali Temple today. That bastard will be beheaded!

Thinking of Qi Junming's smug look before, she felt nauseous. Now, that bastard is finally going to pay the price for everything he did!

"Living is so tiring. As long as I die, not only will I be free, but my parents will also be free."

Looking at the river in front of him, Changping recalled the scenes he had experienced before. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he jumped into the river without hesitation.

Song Ruozhen was sitting nearby enjoying the scenery when she saw Princess Changping arrive, and a hint of helplessness crept into her eyes.

"It seems that Madam Sun still hasn't been able to dissuade Princess Changping from her suicide attempt."

She specially sent a note, hoping that Lady Sun could persuade Princess Changping to think things through and not give up on herself for someone who is not worth it.

Seeing that she had failed, she was no exception.

The environment in ancient times was different from that in modern times. When encountering such a scumbag, everyone would only sympathize with Changping for being unlucky in love. But in ancient times, it was inherently unfair to women.

Despite being the victim, these people always manage to come up with excuses like "flies don't land on eggs without cracks" to pin these unfounded accusations on Changping!

"Your Highness, shall we now..."

Qing Teng and Bai Zhi were utterly impressed by their Crown Princess's abilities.

She timed it perfectly, knowing that Princess Changping was about to commit suicide, and the final result was exactly as she predicted—it was simply miraculous!

"Go save them," Song Ruozhen said.

The reason she didn't stop Princess Changping earlier was because she knew that many people can only understand many things when they are on the verge of death.

For example, it is not worth it to give up your own life for others.

As long as you don't care about rumors and gossip, they won't hurt you in the slightest.

Princess Changping floated in the water, gripped by the fear of death, yet also with a glimmer of hope for release. The feeling of being on the verge of death was simply too agonizing.

However, in the next moment, someone suddenly rescued her.

"Cough cough."

Princess Changping sat by the lake and spat out a mouthful of water.

"Who are you? Why are you saving me?"

Looking at Bai Zhi in front of her, she felt that the girl looked somewhat familiar, but for a moment she couldn't figure out where she had seen her before.

Bai Zhi did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Song Ruozhen who was walking slowly towards her.

Changping followed Bai Zhi's gaze and saw Song Ruozhen, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"Princess?"

“Princess Changping, if your family knew that you were trying to take your own life because of this, they would be heartbroken.”

Song Ruozhen took out a coat and draped it over Changping's shoulders, saying, "Don't make things difficult for yourself by indulging in other people's sins; it's not worth it."

Changping stared blankly at Song Ruozhen. In the darkness, she seemed like a celestial maiden, speaking to her so gently. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Before she could even speak, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Your Highness, I know I'm useless and have let you down."

Changping wiped away her tears pathetically, "You went to so much trouble to save me, but I was completely useless, and I even tried to take my own life because of it."

However, I feel really tired. Today, watching my mother fight with Madam Qi over me, I think there will be many more similar situations in the future.

I may not care, but I don't want my family to keep putting up with this because of me...

"So you thought that once you're gone, people wouldn't say things like that anymore, right?"

Song Ruozhen sat down next to Princess Changping, and Qing Teng even brought over the charcoal fire.

"Your body is already weak, so you absolutely must not catch a cold."
