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

Chapter 370 Citywide Search!

She remembered the dowry list from back then very clearly, plus the profits from the shops that accompanied her dowry.

Having become completely disillusioned with Yun Honglang over the years, she focused all her attention on managing her business.

She and Gu Ruyan were good friends, and since the Song family's business was doing so well, they had naturally given her some pointers, so she earned a lot of money, much of which was recorded in the public accounts.

However, she kept the shop's account books very well, and she even kept track of how much silver the household had borrowed from her.

Now... we have to get them all back!

"Sister, it is only right to return some things to you, but you are asking for too much."

Yun Xiaoniang couldn't help but speak up, looking at Yun Honglang with concern, afraid that he would sign it in a fit of anger.

Yun Honglang naturally didn't want to cause any more trouble, and although he felt a little pained, he still signed and affixed his fingerprint directly.

"Now that's settled, you can start saving people!"

Seeing that Zhang Wen had accepted the divorce papers, Song Ruozhen calmly said, "I can help save Miss Yun, but it will cost 300,000 taels of silver!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Honglang was dumbfounded. "What did you say?"

"Song Ruozhen, don't go too far! You clearly said you'd save me as long as I signed the divorce papers!"

Yun Xiaoniang couldn't hold back any longer. She had already been fed up with Zhang Wen taking so many things with her, and Song Ruozhen was taking advantage of the situation to demand 300,000 taels of silver!

"I said I'd help you as long as you sign the divorce papers, but you definitely have to pay me!"

Song Ruozhen said matter-of-factly, "Miss Yun, you spent so much money going to Yunchan Temple to invite little ghosts to harm people, and now I'm saving your life!"

You think 300,000 taels is too expensive? Then you don't have to ask me for help!

"You, you're clearly crossing the river and burning the bridge!" Yun Xiaoniang said angrily.

"My Song family has always been fair in business, treating everyone honestly and fairly, and we don't force anyone to buy or sell. I can't just help you because you cry a few times. Where do you get the nerve?"

Song Ruozhen blinked, her bright eyes and white teeth revealing her innocence, but her words were anything but polite.

Zhang Wen was also surprised by this turn of events, and was immediately delighted, eager to watch the show.

Yun Xiaoniang deserved it all!

"Think about it quickly, I don't have much time to waste with you guys."

Yun Xiaoniang could only look to Yun Honglang for help. The latter also knew that he couldn't do anything to Song Ruozhen, so he could only grit his teeth and agree, "Okay!"

"Then send someone to fetch the silver right now!" Song Ruozhen said.

Yun Honglang stared incredulously, "Would I possibly renege on my debt?"

"Who knows? I don't offer credit!"

"Fine, I'll write you an IOU!" Yun Honglang gritted his teeth. "I'll have someone send the money over as soon as I get back. What bad luck!"

Seeing Yun Honglang write down the IOU and press his fingerprint on it, Song Ruozhen reluctantly agreed: "Alright, if you renege on the debt, I'll take it to the authorities."

Yun Xiaoniang: "!!!"

The next instant, Song Ruozhen took out a talisman and chanted an incantation. As the talisman slowly burned, the vengeful ghost came out of Yun Xiaoniang's body.

"receive!"

Song Ruozhen made a hand seal, and a small tower floated in front of her chest. Then, the familiar ghost was taken into the tower.

The vengeful ghost had already been injured by Song Ruozhen, so capturing it now would be very easy.

Yun Xiaoniang felt the icy feeling in her body finally disappear, and her whole body was refreshed.

"Alright," Song Ruozhen said.

Yun Honglang thought it would be difficult, but he never expected that Song Ruozhen would solve the problem by simply making a hand seal and burning a talisman.

"You're not lying, are you?" Yun Honglang asked with a suspicious look.

Song Zhiyu rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "You shameless old man, who are you questioning? I helped you and you didn't even say thank you, but you're questioning my sister instead?"

Get out of here! Take this old green tea with you, it's disgusting to look at!

"The money will be sent to me shortly. If it doesn't arrive within an hour, I'll immediately report it to the authorities!"

"Don't just stand there, all of you! We're telling you to see the guests off. If you refuse to leave, just kick them out with a big stick!"

The servants, who had been watching, finally came to their senses and stepped forward, ready to kick the man out.

Yun Honglang was too ashamed to stay any longer, so he had no choice but to leave with Yun Xiaoniang in a dejected manner, feeling a pang of heartache. That was 300,000 taels of silver!

Looking at Yun Xiaoniang beside him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment. If it weren't for her reckless behavior, things wouldn't have come to this!

After the two left, Song Zhiyu noticed that everyone's eyes were on him and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Third Brother, what do you mean by green tea?" Song Jingshen asked curiously.

Song Zhiyu shrugged. "I don't know either. I learned it from my fifth sister."

Seeing everyone looking at her with curiosity, Song Ruozhen explained, "It's someone like Yun Xiaoniang, who always acts pitiful and weak in front of men, as if she's the most wronged and kindest person in the world, and she cries at the drop of a hat."

Everyone suddenly realized that they had learned something new.

"What a lucky girl, Miss Yun! She must be so happy to finally become Mrs. Yun."

Gu Ruyan's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. Zhang Wen was a lady from a prestigious family, yet she had lost to such a woman. It was truly frustrating.

Zhang Wen sighed, "I've always known about Yun Xiaoniang's methods, but I really disdain being like her. Now that we can get a divorce, out of sight, out of mind is a good thing."

"How could such a good thing happen?" Song Ruozhen chuckled. "Miss Yun has harmed someone, and now she wants to become Madam Yun? That's absolutely impossible."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruyan and Zhang Wen were both surprised. "Zhen'er, what do you mean by that?"

“Previously, when Lady Yun was near death, the court didn’t intervene. But this time, anyone on the list who harbored malicious intentions will be severely punished.” Song Ruozhen stopped there.

Zhang Wen understood and smiled.

Song Ruozhen looked at the little ghost she had put away and said, "Mother, Aunt Zhang, I have to go out for a bit now, I'll be back later."

She hadn't been able to deal with this brat before, but today, Yun Xiaoniang came to her door seeking help, which was an unexpected surprise.

It is difficult to determine the location of the Master of Heavenly Secrets solely by divination, because the Master of Heavenly Secrets also used methods, so it can only be judged roughly, but not accurately.

But this little devil was carefully raised by Master Tianji, and has been raised for quite some time. He is very familiar with his aura, and can be used to find Master Tianji!

At the same time, Chu Junting had already mobilized a large number of imperial guards to seal off a large area drawn by Song Ruozhen and began searching it one by one.

The common people only knew that thieves had appeared, and they all cooperated quite well.

"Your Highness, searching such a large area thoroughly will not be easy."

Looking at this vast area, Yunyang realized that he probably wouldn't be able to search it all in a day.
