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

Chapter 368 What kind of behavior is this?

Thinking of this, tears streamed down Yun Xiaoniang's face, but it was as if she had made a tremendous decision, her expression extremely resolute.

"Master, I know that my sister will never forgive me no matter what. Just let me die, and then my sister will come back to you!"

This whole thing was my fault; I almost killed my sister. I should atone with my life. I only hope that after I die, Master will take good care of Xiwan.

She's my only daughter, and I'm really worried about her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I will never let you die!"

Yun Honglang's expression changed drastically, and anger surged within him. Looking at the pitiful Yun Xiaoniang and then at the aggressive Zhang Wen, the affection they once shared faded considerably at this moment.

"Zhang Wen, we've been husband and wife all these years, and I haven't treated you badly at all."

You are unhappy that I took a concubine, but I only took one concubine. Even if I wronged you first, it is not a huge mistake.

"Is your heart really smaller than the eye of a pin? Are you trying to drive her to her death?!"

Zhang Wen looked at Yun Honglang, who was so self-righteous, and found it laughable. He never thought he was wrong to lie to her.

"Yes, either you get a divorce, or she goes to hell. You choose!"

She had long seen through this hypocritical man.

He was gentle and refined in public, and his colleagues and friends all praised him for his noble character. Whenever Yun Xiaoniang pretended to be weak and innocent, he would point at her with righteous indignation.

Because of Yun Xiaoniang's gentleness and sacrifices for him, and because she had no family to rely on, she had to be patient and tolerant at every step!

If she doesn't give in, it's her fault; she's petty and not generous enough!

In the past, she cared about these things for the sake of her children, but now she has long since given up and what use is this reputation to her?

Yun Honglang was at a loss and could only turn his gaze to Song Ruozhen. "Ruozhen, I've watched you grow up. Since you're skilled in metaphysics, you should save people. Are you just going to watch people die in front of you?"

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow slightly. Was this the beginning of moral blackmail against her?

“Uncle, I can help you if you sign this divorce agreement; otherwise, no.”

"As a member of the Xuanmen sect, aren't you afraid of karmic retribution? You're clearly aiding and abetting evil, and if word gets out, it will do you no good for your reputation!"

Yun Honglang had a grim face. He couldn't let Zhang Wen and the Song family control the whole situation and manipulate him at will. That was absolutely unacceptable!

Song Ruozhen now wants to become the Princess Consort of Chu, and her reputation is of utmost importance. If people find out that she refused to help someone in distress and used that as leverage, her reputation will be ruined.

He simply couldn't believe that Song Ruozhen could be indifferent, or that the Song family could be indifferent!

“Zhang Wen, I can tolerate your usual antics as my wife, but now you’ve dragged the Song family down because of your own selfishness. They’ve been your friends for years. How can you be so shameless?” Yun Honglang questioned.

Zhang Wen's expression changed slightly. If Yun Honglang, a hypocrite and a villain, really did this today, he would probably go out and ruin Ruozhen's reputation.

Noticing the change in Zhang Wen's expression, Yun Honglang revealed a confident smile.

"The Song family has always treated you very well over the years. Since you left the manor, you have been fortunate to have their care. Do you intend to implicate them?"

The Song family has now witnessed firsthand Yun Honglang's shamelessness; he is nothing short of a treacherous villain!

"Lord Yun, we Xuanmen people value cause and effect and retribution the most."

Yun Xiaoniang had malicious intentions and spent a lot of money to hire a vengeful ghost from the mountain. This was the evil she sowed, and now she has come to this end, which is the consequence of her own actions.

It's perfectly reasonable for me not to help; otherwise, if all the most heinous criminals in the world came to me for help in resolving their misdeeds, wouldn't it become a world dominated by evil people?

Song Ruozhen scoffed, "Lord Yun, you have served in the court for decades, yet you don't even have this basic moral compass?"

If you think what you're saying makes sense, you can tell everyone and ask the world if they think the same way!

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoniang quickly said, "I didn't invite the little ghost to harm my sister. I just hoped that she and the master could reconcile. I was also deceived by that evil person."

If I had known earlier, I would never have done it.

"Oh, really?" Song Ruozhen said casually, a smile in her eyes. "There are quite a few people who have made the same mistake as you. The court has already obtained the list."

Why not ask those people if they even know that the evil spirit they've invited is harming people?

"You can fool yourself with these kinds of words, but do you really think everyone in the world is a fool?"

Song Ruozhen's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Harming people and saving people, the price to pay for harming people is much higher. If you really want the two of you to reconcile, what you should bring back is a Buddha statue and worship it at home every day."

But you've invited a harmful little devil! Don't tell me you're an adult and can't even tell the difference between a human and a ghost!

Yun Xiaoniang was surprised that Song Ruozhen was so sharp-tongued, and that she could overturn everything she said in just a few words. She was even more frightened. If the rumors outside were really true, what should she do?

A hint of hesitation flashed in Yun Honglang's eyes. He didn't know anything about the so-called "inviting the little ghost." He only knew that Yun Xiaoniang had been going to Yunchan Temple frequently during that time, queuing up early every morning, and telling her that she would definitely find a way to bring Zhang Wen back.

Yun Xiaoniang has always been kind; how could she bear to harm someone?

"Master, believe me, I've been with you for so many years, when have I ever harmed anyone?"

Large tears rolled down Yun Xiaoniang's face. "It's my mistake, it's the sin I've committed. Please don't worry about me, sir."

Whether I meant well or not, my sister has been hurt because of this, so it's only right that I give my life. Just let me die!

As she spoke, Yun Xiaoniang slammed her head heavily onto the ground, drawing blood in just a couple of seconds.

Yun Honglang quickly stopped her, his eyes full of heartache, "Why are you doing this? They've all been deceived by Zhang Wen, so naturally they won't believe you. I know you're kind-hearted and would never do such a thing."

“Master…” Yun Xiaoniang cried out in Yun Honglang’s arms.

The Song family members: "..." This scene is really disgusting.

Gu Ruyan couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Have you two no shame? You're supposed to be elders, how can you be hugging and cuddling in front of your juniors? What kind of behavior is that?"

"Does your Yun family lack beds or spectators, making such a scene in our Song family's courtyard?"

These words left no room for modesty whatsoever. Even Yun Honglang felt utterly ashamed and, in a fit of rage, retorted:

"Madam Song, you are a general's wife, how could you say such a thing!"

Gu Ruyan didn't care at all, "You guys are capable of doing things like this, are you still afraid of being talked about?"

I really don't understand how you had the nerve to scold Yun Xiwan before. You're shameless yourself, but she's much more restrained than you all!
