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

Chapter 895 The Qi Family's Illegitimate Son

"Your Highness, your family has arrived," a servant suddenly announced.

Song Ruozhen's eyes lit up, and she immediately put down her chopsticks. "I'll be right there."

Gu Ruyan had originally planned not to come today so that her daughter could get some rest, but then she thought that even if she was going to rest, she should have rested by now.

The main reason is that it's such a big event, and as family members, we felt we should come.

Chu Junting naturally disregarded the affairs of the manor and stood up to go out with his wife to greet the guests.

"Zhen'er!"

Gu Ruyan smiled happily as soon as she saw Song Ruozhen. She looked her daughter up and down and felt that she had lost some weight.

"You should eat more good food to nourish yourself. I've heard that acupuncture treatment is very demanding on your health, so don't ruin your body."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine. I just woke up and ate a lot of food, all of which are my favorites."

"I originally thought that since you went to the palace early this morning, you would definitely need to rest after you came back, and I was thinking of coming again tomorrow. However, I noticed that your father also wanted to come, so I came along with you. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"Of course not." Song Ruozhen waved her hands repeatedly. "I actually just woke up and had dinner. It's true that mother and daughter are connected at heart; we arrived at the perfect time."

Gu Ruyan was delighted by her daughter's words and pulled her to sit down beside her, saying:

"When this news came out today, everyone was shocked. We didn't expect it to be so sudden."

"Not to mention you, I was also shocked when I heard it."

As Song Ruozhen recounted the scene of the Emperor's sudden order this morning, Gu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh, "There wasn't a hint of it beforehand, I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly."

"We've come today to offer our congratulations; it's a joyous occasion. But precisely because of this, even more eyes are on you."

From now on, we must be careful in everything we do, lest someone find fault with us.

“I understand.” Song Ruozhen nodded. “Jun Ting is always prudent in his actions; he knows what he’s doing.”

Seeing that Song Lin and his sons were talking with Chu Junting, Gu Ruyan realized that they were more knowledgeable about matters of the court, so she started talking about family matters.

"After hearing the news, your maternal grandmother came over today and asked me to bring her congratulatory gift as well."

Having heard that the Prince of Chu's residence was not receiving visitors today, she decided to come again tomorrow or the day after.

"Grandmother, you're so kind," Song Ruozhen said with a smile.

"It's funny, you're not receiving guests today, but our household is having a constant stream of visitors, even the second branch of the family has come."

"Your second aunt came before, but Song Cheng hasn't shown his face in recent years. Today, however, he brought his son, Song Jingheng, along."

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "Second Uncle and Father never had a good relationship, and they haven't had much contact in recent years. I didn't expect him to be willing to back down now?"

Song Cheng is different from the Liu family. The Liu family has been trying to leech off Song Cheng for years. They seem to be very close on the surface, but in reality, none of them are good people.

On the contrary, Song Cheng, because he was unwilling to admit defeat and refused to back down, never had any interaction with Song Cheng.

She actually felt that Song Cheng was better than the Liu family, as he caused far less trouble.

"Now that things have come to this, even if he is unwilling, there is nothing he can do. Besides, Jingheng's marriage is in trouble, so he must be very anxious."

Gu Ruyan understood Song Cheng's thoughts. Back when her own child's marriage encountered setbacks, she was just as restless and unable to eat or sleep.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry. The Song family has recently been plagued by misfortune. Song Biyun's marriage was embroiled in scandal, ultimately leading to a divorce.

It is said that the Song family is now arranging a marriage for Song Biyun. However, the previous divorce was not very good, and Song Biyun seems to have given up on men and has no intention of remarrying anytime soon.

"I do know about Song Biyun's marriage, but what kind of changes could possibly happen to Song Jingheng's marriage?"

Song Ruozhen looked at her mother. When a girl's marriage goes wrong, it's usually because the man has changed his mind.

After all, there are quite a few heartless men in this world, but Song Jingheng, as a man, is also having problems with his marriage. Could it be that the girl has changed her mind?

"I heard that the girl and Jingheng were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. Their marriage had already been arranged, but for some reason, something unexpected happened."

The girl was determined to marry another young master, and no amount of persuasion from Jingheng could change her mind.

Gu Ruyan recounted the whole story, saying, "Your father thinks that forced relationships are never sweet. The girl has changed her mind, so no matter how unwilling he is, it's useless."

However, Jingheng believes someone has performed a spell on the girl, because the changes are so drastic, so he specifically came to you seeking your help.

Song Ruozhen understood. So, which young master has this girl taken a fancy to?

"The illegitimate son of the Qi family."

"The Qi family?" Song Ruozhen frowned. "It can't be that Qi family, can it?"

Gu Ruyan nodded helplessly, "It's the Liang Princess's family home."

Song Ruozhen: "..."

What a small world!

If it were an ordinary family, she thought it was unlikely that a curse would be cast, as the other party didn't have that much power. But now that Princess Liang was involved, things were hard to say.

After all, the Liang Prince's Mansion is indeed skilled in these methods, but how could a son of a concubine, who should not be too close to Qi Qingyi, have such great abilities?

“I now know all about what the King of Liang did, and I'm afraid he sees you as a thorn in his side even more now.”

This matter involves the Qi family; if it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to get involved.

Gu Ruyan looked serious; in her heart, nothing was more important than her own daughter.

As for helping others, I'll help if I can, and if I can't, then I won't.

Song Ruozhen naturally understood her mother's meaning, and she smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Qi Qingyi and I have a blood feud for a long time. Even if I do nothing, she won't stop.

She held a different view than her own mother.

Generally speaking, she doesn't bother with those who don't provoke her, but if someone is destined to be an opponent and will continue to trip her up in the future, then she has to strike while the iron is hot and not give her any chance to recover.

Whether it's Qi Qingyi or Prince Liang, they must deliver a swift, accurate, and ruthless blow.

Just like the Second Prince before him, if he doesn't act decisively, there will only be endless troubles in the future.

The Qi family has always been extremely supportive of Prince Liang and holds a prominent position in the court. Now that they know Jun Ting has become the crown prince, they are probably just as anxious as Prince Liang.

Thinking of this, Song Ruozhen did some quick calculations and, sure enough, the Qi family was about to make another move.

What a coincidence!
