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

Chapter 822 You're a real lifesaver!

Song Ruozhen had calculated the fate between her fourth brother and Mu Yao, and it was destined that they were meant to be together.

As for Ke Yuanzhi, in her previous life, her fourth brother bore the consequences for her, while she herself lived a smooth and successful life after marrying Qu Kuo.

Now that her fourth brother has abandoned her, everything is changing, and she has to bear the consequences of her own actions.

Ke Yuanzhi stood there dejectedly, her mind filled with resentment. If the other party were an ordinary person, she could still compete, but the other party was a princess, and she was no match for her at all.

Even if she were to use some underhanded methods as her mother suggested, she wouldn't dare to use them on the princess; wouldn't that be courting death?

"Mu Yao, did you come to see my fourth brother today?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Chu Muyao nodded, "He's always busy with business. Anyway, I like to come to the teahouse to listen to storytelling, so I come here often."

Song Jingshen did make a point of taking time to stroll around with her, but this meant he would rest later than usual.

She found it quite interesting that, just like before, Song Jingshen would be in the teahouse handling business and meeting guests, while she would listen to storytelling in her spare time.

Once she's done with her work, they can have a meal together. She feels that although life is simple, she is happy every day.

"You're so thoughtful."

Song Ruozhen chuckled. Mu Yao was a simple-minded person, and her fourth brother happened to be very intelligent and good at handling all kinds of trivial matters, so there was no need to worry.

Fourth Brother is usually busy with business, and Mu Yao has a good personality, so she won't suspect anything or develop any resentment because of it. They are a perfect match.

"By the way, you often run out like this, won't Mother find out?" Song Ruozhen asked curiously.

The Empress is always intelligent and cares especially for Mu Yao. With Mu Yao frequently running out lately, the Empress must have already noticed something amiss.

Upon hearing this, Chu Muyao looked puzzled.

"I also feel that it is impossible to hide it from the Empress Dowager, but strangely enough, the people around me usually tell the Empress Dowager the news."

Back then, before I even said anything, my mother already knew, but she never asked me. Isn't that strange?

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly, "Has Mother introduced any other men to you recently?"

"No." Chu Muyao shook her head. "My mother used to introduce me to people quite often, but I didn't want to meet them. Later, my mother mentioned it less often."

Thinking about it carefully, I really haven't heard of it recently.

Seeing Chu Muyao's appearance, Song Ruozhen's eyes filled with a smile, "It seems... this hurdle with my fourth brother shouldn't be too difficult to overcome."

"What do you mean?" Chu Muyao asked in surprise.

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Is it possible that Mother thinks my fourth brother is also quite good?"

Chu Muyao's eyes widened. Ever since she disobeyed her mother last time, she had never dared to say such things again, and she never thought of this possibility.

“I’ve been wanting to talk to my mother about this lately, but I haven’t dared to speak up, for fear that she will disagree.”

"Don't worry, there's nothing to be concerned about."

Song Ruozhen gestured to Chu Muyao not to worry, then suddenly remembered that Chu Qingli was Chu Muyao's cousin, and couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, have you seen Miss Qingli recently?"

Chu Muyao's eyes lit up. "You want to know if there's any progress between your cousin and Brother Song, right?"

"Smart!" Song Ruozhen nodded. "My third brother has never been able to see the light of day all these years. Now that he has finally found someone he likes, it would be wonderful if things could work out."

"I'm not actually very close to my cousin. We used to see each other often at banquets when we were little, but I haven't seen her much since her accident."

Although I recognized him when we met last time, we haven't been in touch much over the years, so I didn't want to suddenly go to him.

Chu Muyao shrugged. "Jing Shen is also quite concerned about this matter. I was even thinking of finding an opportunity to visit the Prince's Mansion."

Song Ruozhen understood. "No rush. Although my third brother has always been slow to understand, he will eventually take it to heart once he does."

"Sister-in-law, aren't you good at divination? Why don't you do the divination?"

Chu Muyao couldn't help but be curious; if they could calculate it so easily, they wouldn't need to worry so much.

Song Ruozhen shook her head, "Relationships are ever-changing, especially when things are still far from settled."

Everything in this world depends on fate. Some people fall in love at first sight, and if someone takes the initiative to take that step, the relationship can have an ending.

But some people fall in love at first sight, yet hesitate to make a move, and the relationship ultimately fizzles out.

“I previously calculated that the relationship between you and my fourth brother was uncertain, but from the moment you got together, your fate was already intertwined.”

Whether this relationship is a destined romance or a tragic one will soon be revealed, but the connection between my third brother and Miss Qingli is still just beginning; everything depends on human effort.

"I see."

Chu Muyao suddenly realized that this thing was truly mysterious and profound. After hearing the explanation, she finally understood it more completely.

"It seems we still need to put in some effort, even if it's just to fan the flames?"

When Song Jingshen saw that Shichen still hadn't seen Chu Muyao, he went out to look for her and found his fifth sister with her.

"What do you mean by 'fueling the flames'?"

Song Ruozhen blinked. "Fourth Brother, you're doing well in your love life now, but aren't we still worrying about Third Brother's marriage?"

"So that's what you were talking about!" Song Jingshen suddenly became interested. "I also think that Third Brother, that taciturn fellow, is completely clueless in this area, and probably doesn't know how to win a girl's attention either."

I tried to find a way to help, but every time he went back, he was very tight-lipped, and I just couldn't get any information out of him!

"Being tight-lipped means there must be progress, right?"

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly, "If there is no progress at all, Third Brother should be getting anxious."

"Anyway, that guy is wary of me, so I won't be able to get anything out of him. But he always listens to you the most, so I'm sure you can get the answer if you ask him!"

Song Jingshen winked, "Fifth Sister, this important task is entrusted to you!"

Watching the lively interaction between the siblings, Chu Muyao couldn't help but find it amusing, as she and her fifth brother usually acted similarly when they were together.

But...it's really interesting!

"Then leave it to me!"

Song Ruozhen accepted this important task and then handed over the prepared book.

"By the way, we should have finished telling the story of 'The Romance of the Western Chamber' by now, right? 'Journey to the West' is the children's favorite story, do you want to see it?"

Song Jingshen exclaimed with delight, "Fifth Sister, you're truly my savior!"

"Let me see too."

Chu Muyao curiously leaned forward, and Song Jingshen handed her the book, saying, "Okay, take a look first."
