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

Chapter 830 Family Mobilization

As Song Ruozhen listened, she suddenly grasped the key point.

"She said that if she has this kind of fate, she doesn't want to harm you?"

Song Zhiyu nodded. "Yes, that's what she said. I think she's overthinking it. There's no such thing."

Looking at her third brother's silly and simple-minded appearance, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but find it funny. Was this like trying to wink at a blind man?

"Third Brother, don't you think there's another meaning behind those words?"

Song Zhiyu was completely bewildered, but then he saw Song Ruozhen smiling, indicating that he should savor the words. He couldn't help but start thinking about it carefully.

"What meaning could this sentence possibly have? Isn't it just the literal meaning?"

She said if she really was a jinx to husbands, then not wanting to harm me meant she didn't want to be with me...

As he spoke, Song Zhiyu's eyes gradually brightened. "If she didn't have this destiny, then...would she be willing to be with me?"

"Third brother, Miss Qingli must have mustered up a lot of courage to say those words to you, but you, being so simple-minded, didn't understand what she meant. I wonder if she will be disappointed."

Song Ruozhen shook her head. Just thinking about the scene was interesting, but she also knew very well that since Chu Qingli could take a liking to her third brother, she must know his temperament, and she couldn't be unhappy because of this.

Song Zhiyu slapped his forehead, revealing a look of regret.

"Oh my god, I didn't understand what she meant at the time. I just thought she was upset because of her fate."

I was thinking of taking her home and coming back early to ask you about her fate. Did my reaction at the time hurt her feelings?

"I'm so stupid!"

Song Ruozhen waved her hand, "It's okay. Sometimes being a little slow to react is quite cute. Miss Qingli will definitely appreciate that."

"No, I have to go!"

Song Zhiyu suddenly made a decision and hurriedly ran back into the house.

Gu Ruyan was astonished to see him suddenly run off like a shot. "We were just about to eat, where did he go?"

"Mother, you don't need to worry about him. He's so content with just water now, he doesn't need to eat."

Song Ruozhen smiled brightly. She had been in a bad mood because of the Liang Prince's matter, but after coming back and seeing her closest family, her mood improved a lot.

It's quite nice to see someone achieve their goal, and it's even more remarkable that Third Brother, like an iron tree blossoming, has finally succeeded.

Gu Ruyan immediately understood and waved her hand, saying, "Never mind him, let's eat first and have the kitchen keep some food warm for him."

Luo Qingyin and Ruan Niantang also arrived at this time. At the dinner table, after everyone learned that Song Zhiyu was in love with the second daughter of Prince Gong's mansion, they all showed gossipy expressions.

No matter when or where, regardless of gender, people are always exceptionally interested in gossip.

"I met Chu Qingli before. She was very beautiful, but there was a hint of sorrow in her eyes. She has had a difficult time these past few years."

Luo Qingyin recalled the scene when she first met Chu Qingli. At that time, Chu Qingli was also depressed because she knew what had happened to Song Yanzhou.

I happened to hear that Chu Qingli was known as a jinx, so I felt like we were kindred spirits.

However, she never expected that there would be such a fate.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruyan couldn't help but recall the suffering Qingyin had endured before. She truly had a sincere heart for Yan Zhou, and fortunately, they were able to achieve a happy ending. Otherwise, their family would have truly let down the Luo family.

"I don't know much about the second young lady of Prince Gong's mansion, but I know the eldest young lady of Prince Gong's mansion, Chu Mingyue."

She married the eldest son of the Vice Minister of War, but I heard it wasn't a happy marriage, likely due to this incident.

Ruan Niantang's expression was complicated, and he seemed hesitant to speak. Prince Gong, as a member of the imperial family, held a prominent position, but this incident had negatively impacted his reputation.

Because of his bad temper and his inability to bear seeing his daughter suffer, he had many arguments with others, which she had heard her father and grandfather mention.

After that, Prince Gong never attended court again, and now he keeps a very low profile.

"Although everyone is wary of her being a jinx to husbands and it's common for them not to want her into the family, isn't it a bit too serious to make such a fuss?"

Gu Ruyan looked at Song Ruozhen with some concern, "Zhen'er, do you know what exactly happened?"

"When I last met Miss Qingli, I made a point of looking into her. She did indeed have a calamity in the first half of her life, which I suppose was this marriage agreement."

However, she lived a peaceful and uneventful life in her later years, and was neither a cursed star nor someone who brought misfortune to her husband.

Song Ruozhen reassured everyone, "That master might have been dissatisfied with Prince Gong's Mansion, so he deliberately fabricated all of this."

He just happened to be lucky enough to hit the nail on the head, which led to the rumor spreading even further.

On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes; dying in battle is a common occurrence. It can only be said that Miss Qingli was unlucky; all the malice fell upon her.

She naturally knew about fates like being born a lone star, and that some people are born with shallow connections in family, friendship, and love, but most of them are not serious.

While the absence of one part is certainly regrettable, the addition of the other two parts makes it less of a blow.

“When I did the calculations before, I noticed that there were some ups and downs in her love life. Besides the previous engagement, there is another turning point now.”

The people who were eating were immediately drawn to the food, and for a moment they even forgot to eat.

"Fifth Sister, what do you mean by 'key point'? Could it be that there's some change in the marriage?" Song Yi'an asked.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, someone might propose marriage in the next couple of days. As for who she will choose, that will depend on her own decision."

"what?"

Gu Ruyan's expression changed slightly. She had planned to take this opportunity to get closer to Princess Gong and settle the marriage as soon as possible. She never expected that someone would try to steal her away.

"No, I'd better hurry, or someone will snatch my daughter-in-law away!"

Seeing Gu Ruyan's appearance, everyone couldn't help but want to laugh, but since it concerned the third brother's happiness, they really had to pay more attention.

Gu Ruyan quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and went to the storeroom first, where she needed to choose a suitable gift for the first meeting.

“Husband, why don’t I go and see Chu Mingyue too? The sisters are very close. If I go and say a good word for our third brother, it might help.”

Ruan Niantang looked at Song Yi'an, who had been very happy every day since marrying into the family.

She had always heard that after marriage, one had to serve one's mother-in-law and stand in accordance with the rules, and that life was not easy. But marrying into the Song family was completely different. Not only was it not hard for her, but she was also exceptionally comfortable.

Not only are her in-laws easy to get along with, but her other brothers and sisters are also exceptionally nice.
