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

Chapter 379 You Didn't Let Her Go Either

As Song Ruozhen listened to the people around Qian Yalin start making things up about her, each sentence more outrageous than the last, a hint of mockery flashed in her clear eyes.

I thought these nannies and maids were there to serve people, but it turns out they were just making up stories!

Look at their mouths, each one more capable of spouting a story than the last!

But when it comes to acting, how could she possibly lose?

"Your Highness, I have never met the Princess before, and I am completely unfamiliar with her."

The princess suddenly arrived today, bringing with her an astonishing array of maids and servants. I had barely arrived when the princess ordered all the servants in the mansion to leave.

After they left, the princess said that I had intentionally seduced Prince Che, and that rescuing people at the hunting grounds was to take advantage of his kindness.

"If I hadn't repeatedly tempted him, His Highness wouldn't have personally come to express his gratitude. In fact, Your Highness isn't the type to personally come to express gratitude!"

Chu Tianche's heart skipped a beat. Qian Yalin had indeed gone mad, daring to say such things directly!

Song Ruozhen lowered her head, wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "I said I never seduced His Highness, but the Princess Consort simply didn't believe me and even said she would make sure I died without a burial place!"

At first, I didn't understand why the princess had dismissed all the servants, but now I understand. Their words carry weight, and I, being of lowly status, have no one to testify..."

Chu Tianche naturally understood what Song Ruozhen meant. As soon as Qian Yalin arrived, she dismissed all the servants in the Song household, leaving only Song Ruozhen behind.

Anyone with eyes can see there's something wrong with this; it's clearly a case of deliberately bullying someone.

What's the point of having so many mouths, all in cahoots?

"How dare you talk nonsense!"

Qian Yalin was shocked that Song Ruozhen dared to talk nonsense and angrily said, "I came here to see you for treatment, but you refused to treat me!"

"The princess seems to be in good health. Is there anything ailment that requires my attention?"

Song Ruozhen feigned confusion. Who told this woman to be so arrogant? She had specifically dismissed the servants of the Song family before, but now she had shot herself in the foot. She wanted to see what Qian Yalin would say next!

Even if the nanny and maidservant testified, it would be useless, since they were all in cahoots and no one would believe them anyway.

As for Chu Junting and Third Brother hearing about it, so what? They won't expose him.

Enraged, Qian Yalin felt as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat, and she swallowed back the words she wanted to say.

Should I admit in front of everyone that I can't have children?

That would be an even greater humiliation!

However, her silence at this moment undoubtedly proves that everything Song Ruozhen said is true.

“Brother, the matter is already quite clear. If you don’t believe me, you might as well ask the servants of the Song family.”

When I and Song Sanlang arrived, we overheard my sister-in-law planning to kill Ruozhen. Surely, even a princess shouldn't be so careless with human life?

Chu Junting raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought, "I just happened to hear that one of my brother's concubines has gone missing..."

This slightly questioning inquiry made Chu Tianche and Qian Yalin visibly tense.

The next instant, Chu Tianche flew into a rage and slapped her across the face.

"Snapped!"

Qian Yalin was knocked to the ground by the slap, and half of her hair was disheveled.

"I have warned you more than once not to act recklessly. What are you doing now?"

"How dare they come to the Song residence and demand someone's life? Who gave them the audacity!"

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again." Qian Yalin looked panicked, her eyes filled with fear.

"Miss Song and my third brother have a very good relationship. She will be the future Princess Consort of Chu, and your sister-in-law. How dare you say that she seduced me? Are you deliberately trying to cause a rift between me and the Prince of Chu?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Yalin's face turned deathly pale.

She simply cannot bear such a serious charge!

This is a sensitive time, and if she dares to create a rift between the two princes, even the royal family might not tolerate her!

"Your Highness, I absolutely did not mean that, I wouldn't dare!"

Chu Junting said calmly, "Your Majesty's sister-in-law claimed that Miss Song was seducing both me and my brother. Isn't that saying we're stupid and unaware of our own stupidity?"

Father values ​​harmony among brothers above all else. If this matter gets out, my brother's and my reputation will be ruined.

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. Sure enough, Chu Junting didn't let her off the hook either.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to choosing a wife, you must seek a virtuous one. I don't care if your wife ruins your reputation, but I must preserve my reputation, and Ruozhen's reputation as well!"

Chu Junting's words were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Chu Tianche had always felt that Qian Yalin lacked magnanimity and, as a princess, had no sense of propriety whatsoever, displaying only pettiness.

Although she came from a good family, her temperament was hardly suitable for a refined setting. She wouldn't even qualify as the mistress of an ordinary official's household, let alone a princess.

If he becomes emperor in the future, how can such a person be empress and mother of the world?

"From this day forward, you are no longer Princess Consort Che, but a concubine. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will divorce you!" Chu Tianche said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Qian Yalin's eyes widened instantly, and her mind went completely blank!

What did she hear?

The prince said he would strip her of her title as princess and demote her to a concubine.

Just for a mere Song Ruozhen, why should her position as princess be revoked?

"Your Highness, I disagree! My argument with Miss Song was merely a verbal altercation; I didn't actually hurt her. She's completely unharmed!"

Qian Yalin's eyes reddened as she pleaded, "Everything I said is true. I came to the Song family today to get medical treatment!"

"Shut up!" Chu Tianche lost his patience and shouted sternly.

"It's you bitch!"

Qian Yalin pointed at Song Ruozhen with one finger and shouted hoarsely, "You framed me on purpose! You'll die a horrible death!"

Chu Junting pulled Song Ruozhen behind him, his cold eyes glaring at Qian Yalin. "Royal brother, your concubine has probably gone mad. You should take her back as soon as possible!"

"Take her back to me now! What a disgrace!"

Chu Tianche was seething with anger, feeling utterly humiliated, especially in front of Chu Junting. His previous feelings for Song Ruozhen were now completely gone.

Qian Yalin is a woman who is more trouble than she's worth!

"Third brother, Miss Song, I am truly sorry for what happened today. I will definitely treat you to a meal another day to make amends."

Chu Tianche looked ashamed. "I will take the person back immediately. I hope this news will not be spread."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty," Chu Junting said.

Chu Tianche breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with his men.

Song Ruozhen understood that this news should not be spread. Although if it were to spread, the reputation of Princess Che's arrogance and domineering would spread throughout the entire capital, it would also ruin her reputation.

It was clearly fabricated, but public opinion is a powerful force, and I'm afraid it will eventually come back to haunt her.
