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

Chapter 857 It’s better to choose a day than to hit it

Zhao Zilei was initially very angry, but when he saw Song Ruozhen's extremely indifferent expression after she finished speaking, he felt a strange mix of emotions.

That's their mother, how could she possibly bring them death?

Anyone would think that's nonsense!

Guan Yan seemed to have an emotional breakdown, and she grabbed Zhao Zilei and started crying.

"Zilei, your mother is only thinking of what's best for you. How could she possibly bring bad luck to you?"

"The Princess Consort of Chu is truly wicked. She maliciously slanders me for the sake of her own relatives. You must not believe a word she says."

Seeing his mother crying, Zhao Zilei immediately dismissed his doubts. His face turned ashen, and he said solemnly:

"Mother, don't worry, I won't believe her nonsense. It's a complete joke!"

"Fifth sister, it seems this guy doesn't believe it at all."

Song Jingshen frowned slightly. Others had to pay a lot of money to have their fortunes told by his sister, so it was already a bargain for them to get a free reading.

Now, not only are they ungrateful, but they're even slandering his sister. I'm really annoyed.

"It's hard to reason with a damned ghost. We've said what we needed to say; whether they listen or not is their business."

Song Ruozhen remained calm. As a member of the Xuanmen sect, he had seen far too many people who refused to listen to advice.

If her father hadn't told her that General Zhao had a good relationship with him in the past, she wouldn't have bothered to remind him.

After all, in her view, it's a good outcome if everyone gets what they deserve.

"Let's go. Now that everything's been explained, there's nothing to see in their family squabbles if we stay here."

Song Ruozhen turned to look at her parents. They had said everything they needed to say, and the matter of General Zhao's divorce was a done deal.

Judging from Madam Zhao's unreasonable behavior, Prince Gong obviously had no choice but to wait for compensation.

After all, the most important thing about coming here today is to prove Chu Qingli's innocence, and it's enough that everyone has realized that now.

Gu Ruyan nodded. She remembered what her daughter had said: "If you don't see eye to eye, don't waste words. Don't argue with a fool."

At the time, she was in a bad mood because of a dispute with the other ladies. After her daughter took her pulse, she told her to think more positively and said these words.

After that, she felt more and more that her daughter was right. People like Madam Zhao, who were so unreasonable and argumentative, were not the same kind of people as her. It was pointless to say anything more and it was a complete waste of time.

The next moment, she walked up to Princess Gong with a smile and said, "Princess Gong, it just so happens that we bumped into each other today."

We agreed last time to sit down and chat, so why not take advantage of the opportunity and come to my place for a small gathering today?

Princess Gong had been wearing a cold expression when facing Madam Zhao, but she immediately smiled when she saw Gu Ruyan.

"Madam Song is right."

She turned to look at her lord, her eyes filled with joy, "Your Highness, what do you think?"

Today, because of the rumors about the Qiu family, she was in a terrible mood, and all she could think about was how to restore her daughter's reputation.

Now that she has achieved her goal, she doesn't care at all about the final outcome for Guan Yan's family.

Anyway, we made it clear today that whatever happens to the Zhao family in the future will have nothing to do with them.

Seeing his wife so happy, Prince Gong naturally agreed, "That would be wonderful."

Therefore, everyone present saw that the Prince Gong family and the Song family were very happy to meet, and it looked like the two families were meeting and happily planning to get engaged.

"Lord Qiu, why don't you come along too?" Song Lin asked politely.

"No, no." Qiu Hou waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of smiles. "Thank you for your kindness, General Song. Miss Chu and your Third Master are truly a perfect match."

When we get married, we'll definitely go to the wedding banquet.

Song Lin smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, I definitely have to go then."

Seeing the Qiu family's congratulatory demeanor, everyone naturally concluded that the previous rumors were all false.

If it's true, the relationship between the two sides must be awkward; how could they possibly offer such sincere blessings?

For a moment, he was speechless about Guan Yan.

Chu Qingli and Chu Yingmeng exchanged a glance as they watched their parents prepare to go to the Song family.

"Sister, hurry up, we'll follow."

Chu Yingmeng was filled with interest. "I've heard that the Song Mansion is very beautiful. I've been curious about it for a while, and now I finally have the opportunity to go and see it."

Moreover, I think Princess Chu is really amazing! I used to hate Lady Zhao so much every time I saw her, but after hearing what Princess Chu said just now, I felt so satisfied!

Chu Qingli smiled and nodded, her eyes full of admiration. "Princess Chu is an extraordinary woman. She is intelligent, decisive, and capable, unlike ordinary girls."

"Compared to the Princess Consort of Chu, I lack far too much courage. I must strive to change that in the future."

In the past, she always felt that she had brought a lot of trouble to her family, so she stayed at home and tried her best to disappear from everyone's sight.

Seeing the Chu princess's heroic and spirited demeanor, she suddenly realized that everything she had done before was nothing but an escape.

"No wonder the King of Chu had such high standards, yet he favored her alone; her charm is truly unmatched by ordinary girls."

Chu Yingmeng agreed repeatedly, "That's right. Look at Madam Zhao, she's like a shrew. Whenever I want to stand up for you, she always puts a bad name on me, so I don't have any good opportunities."

But in front of the Princess of Chu, she didn't have that ability. Come to think of it, it's just that I'm a bit clumsy with words and not clever enough."

The two sisters smiled at each other, thankfully the worst was over.

Song Zhiyu waited anxiously at home for the results. He wanted to go and see, but he felt that his mother was right. If he went now, he might cause more trouble and make things more complicated.

So after thinking it over, he still didn't go with them, but just stood at the entrance of the Song residence waiting for everyone to return.

As he waited anxiously, they suddenly returned.

Not only did his family members return, but Prince Gong and his entourage also came!

Even without knowing what had happened, it wasn't hard to guess from their cheerful conversation that there must have been good news.

"Third brother, you'd better do your best today. If everything goes smoothly, the marriage might be settled today."

Song Jingshen quickly stepped forward and told Song Zhiyu the good news.

Song Zhiyu unconsciously revealed a look of joy and quickly asked, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened today?"

I originally wanted to go and take a look, but I was worried that I would just cause trouble. I was so bored!
