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

Chapter 752 Tianci Nunnery

Seeing the harmonious relationship between Chu Junting and Song Ruozhen, a complex look flashed in Xiao Wang's eyes.

In the past, I didn't feel anything, but now that the King of Chu has been married for some time, and my feelings for Song Ruozhen have not faded but have become even more intense, my feelings are very complicated.

Back then, he married early, and seeing that Chu Junting refused to marry him again and again, his father and empress were very troubled by his marriage. However, he only knew how to lead troops into battle, and he felt happy about it.

But now his inner quarters are in such turmoil, while everyone is praising the King of Chu. It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years; until the very last moment, no one knows what the outcome will be.

Seeing that Prince Xiao was staring in their direction without saying a word, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review couldn't help but say, "Prince Xiao, now that the position of your principal wife is vacant, don't you plan to find a suitable girl to marry?"

After working together for a while, we became quite familiar with each other, and the initial restraint disappeared, so we spoke without much restraint.

King Xiao chuckled lightly, “Getting married is not such an easy thing. If you marry a wife who is not virtuous, that will be a big problem. I wonder if my sister-in-law has any suitable girls around her that she could introduce to me?”

Princess Yun is your cousin, and Princess Yang, who is about to marry you, is also a good friend of yours. It's clear you have excellent friends.

Song Ruozhen was surprised that Prince Xiao would suddenly say such a thing, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Brother, you are dashing and handsome. There are countless girls in the capital who want to marry you. If you wish, you can take a beautiful bride home anytime."

The position of princess has always been very attractive to young women.

Although Prince Xiao did cause some trouble before, now that his principal wife has been demoted to a concubine, once married, she would become a princess, above everyone else in his harem. Naturally, many girls would be willing to marry her.

"I believe that if it is introduced by your sister-in-law, it will definitely not be bad. It is a pity that the Song family only has one daughter, otherwise I would have the opportunity to get closer to my third brother."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who was standing to the side, was secretly surprised to see that Prince Xiao had such thoughts, but the Song family's status had risen accordingly.

Song Lin goes without saying, and Song Yanzhou, Song Yi'an, and Song Zhiyu are all serving the court. Even Song Jingshen is a merchant who runs a thriving business in the capital.

It seems that Prince Xiao now holds the Song family in high regard.

"If my mother heard this, she would be overjoyed."

Song Ruozhen smiled broadly, but in reality, she completely ignored what Xiao Wang said. Given the trouble Xiao Wang had caused by indulging his friends in the past, she would be a fool to think of pushing her good friend into a fire pit.

"To be honest, today is the day of Prince Kang's wedding, but we were unable to go and offer our congratulations."

Chu Junting mentioned it casually, seemingly quite regretful, but in his heart he felt it couldn't be better.

Song Ruozhen understood her husband's meaning. In fact, the Prince of Kang had indeed invited them, but the two of them tacitly used the matter of Qiyang City as an excuse.

With official duties at hand, he naturally couldn't let attending Prince Kang's wedding interfere with his schedule.

What they didn't expect was that Prince Xiao also didn't attend Prince Kang's wedding and instead came to Qiyang City.

As the group arrived near the nunnery, their mood grew heavier. Along the way, they could hear many locals wondering why Tianci Nunnery was still closed to visitors.

"I wonder what exactly happened at Tianci Nunnery. Why is the government suddenly stopping people from going there?"

"I don't know. Tianci Nunnery has always been very efficacious, and the nuns there are all very kind-hearted. Not to mention the abbess, I don't think anything could possibly happen to her!"

“I’m used to going once a month, and now that I can’t go anymore, I feel uneasy.”

Listening to the discussions among the people, Song Ruozhen could sense that they all had a very good impression of Tianci Nunnery. Clearly, neither the abbess nor the nuns were harmful people.

Chu Junting noticed Song Ruozhen's confusion and explained:

"According to the information we sent out to inquire, the local people all praise Tianci Nunnery, and the nun who committed suicide a few days ago had helped many people in her daily life."

It is said that she possessed the true heart of a Bodhisattva; during a famine, Tianci Nunnery sheltered many people, which is why the local people held them in such high esteem.

If all of this were just a facade, it would have been exposed long ago. But now all that we've learned is good deeds done by Tianci Nunnery, and none of this matches the remains.

"We investigated for a long time but found nothing suspicious, which is really strange."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review shook his head and sighed. He had handled so many cases, and with just the slightest clue, he could always follow the trail and uncover the truth.

This time, however, there was not a single clue. All the nuns in the Tianci Nunnery remained silent, and even torture could not elicit any information from them.

If pushed too far, they might even commit suicide; there's truly no way to stop them.

As Song Ruozhen listened to all this, her gaze fell on Tianci Nunnery. After discovering that the place was not shrouded in dense death energy or bloodlust, she realized something.

"Perhaps... the nuns and abbesses of Tianci Nunnery are indeed good people, and the deaths of these children have nothing to do with them."

Instead, they kept the child's body at Tianci Nunnery and chanted scriptures daily, which in turn helped to deliver the souls of the deceased.

As Song Ruozhen finished speaking, the Dali Temple Minister and the others exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with disbelief.

They always felt that the deaths of these children were inextricably linked to Tianci Nunnery, and that the nun most likely committed suicide out of fear of punishment; otherwise, no matter how you looked at it, the matter was inexplicable.

However, if we follow what Song Ruozhen said, then things will develop in a completely different direction.

"Sister-in-law, although what you said is not impossible, I think the possibility seems too small."

If they were truly just trying to do good, they could have simply told the truth. Why commit suicide?

King Xiao frowned. From the beginning of the investigation until now, he had always maintained that the people of Tianci Nunnery were the problem, and that they must have deliberately killed someone!

Song Ruozhen neither confirmed nor denied, saying, "What I mentioned was just one possibility. As for the truth, we will have to conduct a specific investigation to find out."

The absence of bloodlust in this place proves that these souls have been released from suffering and have not become vengeful spirits. If they were truly killed by the people of Tianci Nunnery, then these souls could not have been released from suffering at all.

However, since the matter has not yet been fully investigated, she is not in a hurry to make a decision. She needs to understand the situation carefully and restore the truth.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review nodded, "Let's go in and take a look. All the remains have been unearthed today."
