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

Chapter 350: There's definitely something wrong!

"Speaking of which, Miss Song is my benefactor, and I should have personally come to thank her. However, I have been recuperating recently and only feel better today."

Song Ruozhen noticed Che Wang's sudden closeness, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she keenly sensed that something was wrong. What was wrong with this guy?

They left no trace of what happened last time. As long as the eldest prince doesn't do anything foolish, it's impossible for Prince Che to discover anything. So why did Prince Che come to the Song family to thank them?

"Your Highness has already expressed your gratitude. Anyone who saw this would have done their best to help, Your Highness need not take it to heart."

However, Chu Tianche raised his hand and said, "This is the proper etiquette. I will personally visit you tomorrow. Miss Song will not refuse, will she?"

Song Ruozhen gave a dry laugh. Now that things had come to this point, there was no way she could refuse.

"Of course not, it's our good fortune that Your Highness is here."

Tang Xuening and Ling Qian'er were secretly surprised when they saw this scene.

Although Prince Che seems approachable, isn't he being a little too friendly with Song Ruozhen right now?

Chu Tianche, however, was completely oblivious. His gaze fell on Ling Qian'er. "Miss Ling, I remember when you were little, you loved following behind my third brother and even said you wanted to marry him. Thinking about it now, it's quite amusing."

"Those were just childhood jokes, Your Highness, please don't laugh at me," Ling Qian'er said with a faint smile.

Song Ruozhen sized up Ling Qian'er in front of her. She felt something was off about this woman from the moment she appeared, and her luck value was also higher than that of ordinary people.

When he walked here with Chu Muyao just now, their luck was actually about the same.

Generally speaking, princes and princesses have better luck than ordinary people. Although Ling Qian'er was born into a noble family, she was undoubtedly inferior to a princess.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that its aura carried a faint trace of blood energy, which gave her an uncomfortable feeling.

There must be something wrong here!

However, she still needs to calculate what the problem is.

"Brother, are you going to the Song residence tomorrow?"

Chu Junting slowly walked over, and Song Ruozhen felt the force coming from her hand. She saw Chu Junting pull her back a step and stand between her and Chu Tianche.

Chu Tianche looked at Chu Junting who had suddenly appeared, his expression unchanged, "The Song family saved me this time. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I would have lost my life. Of course, I must thank them."

“Indeed, it should be.” Chu Junting nodded. “My brother is always generous, so I’m sure he won’t let the Song family suffer.”

Chu Tianche raised his chin slightly. "That's natural."

Upon hearing this, a smile crept into Song Ruozhen's eyes, realizing that she had once again tricked Prince Che.

Now that Chu Junting has put him in this predicament, if he doesn't offer a proper thank-you gift tomorrow, he'll likely lose face.

"Third brother, I've heard that Her Majesty the Empress intends to arrange a marriage between you and Miss Ling. Is this true?"

Chu Tianche's eyes were filled with curiosity. He had been tricked by Chu Junting for no reason, so he was naturally unhappy.

Back when they were hunting, he fell in love with the beauty Song Ruozhen, not to mention how capable she was. No matter what, he had to get her into the Prince Che's mansion.

Even if she and Chu Junting are now in love, it's useless. Once the Emperor and Empress grant them marriage, they have no way to stop them.

Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Junting, her eyebrows slightly raised. "Is that so?"

When Chu Junting met the woman's gaze, he immediately said, "That's not true. My brother heard this rumor from somewhere."

"Oh? Perhaps I misheard." Chu Tianche chuckled lightly, not caring at all, though his eyes held a hint of amusement.

Chu Junting's sharp eyebrows lowered, and his cold and indifferent face was now covered with a layer of icy coldness. "In the future, if you encounter such gossipy people again, Your Majesty should arrest them directly and send them to the Cautious Punishment Department to prevent the spread of rumors."

"It was just a few jokes, why take it so seriously?" Chu Tianche teased. "You're not young anymore, and your marriage is still undecided. All the noble ladies in the capital are eyeing you, which is bound to cause gossip."

"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be so concerned about these things so soon after recovering from your injuries. I heard that Second Sister-in-law has been so exhausted from taking care of you these days that she couldn't even attend the banquet?" Chu Junting said calmly.

Chu Tianche's expression changed slightly, and he said, "It's alright. The imperial physician has already examined him. He was just too worried. He just needs to rest for a few days."

Gu Huan'er also came over at this moment. Seeing Ling Qian'er and Tang Xuening standing together, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Cousin Ling, so you and Miss Tang are good friends?"

Ling Qian'er was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously took half a step back, putting some distance between herself and Tang Xuening, and explained:

"I am not very familiar with Miss Tang. I just saw Miss Song and Miss Tang arguing, so I spoke up for them."

However, Gu Huan'er's expression turned strange after hearing this. "The grudge between my cousin and Miss Tang can't be resolved with just a few words. You actually managed to mediate between them. You're really amazing!"

Chu Junting naturally noticed Tang Xuening, his cold gaze making no attempt to conceal his disgust.

"Your Highness, don't be fooled by Song Ruozhen. She's clearly bullying people outside by taking advantage of your power. She even said I'm sick. Of course, I can't stand it!"

Miss Ling was simply speaking up for me. If she hadn't spoken up for me, I don't know how much she would have bullied me!

Tang Xuening pointed angrily at Song Ruozhen, as if she could no longer hold back her grievances and blurted them out all at once.

She simply couldn't believe that the King of Chu would indulge Song Ruozhen in front of so many people!

As Song Ruozhen listened to Tang Xuening's accusations, she sneered inwardly. She really knew how to turn the tables!

Her gaze shifted to Chu Junting, and just as she was about to speak, she heard the man's extremely cold voice, "If you don't want your hand, then chop it off."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuening's eyes widened in horror, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

"She was sitting and resting by herself, and you came all the way here. Now it's become that she deliberately bullied you. I didn't know that the Prime Minister's daughter had such a penchant for offering herself up to be bullied."

Chu Junting's lips curled into a mocking smile, his dark eyes filled with a chilling and malevolent aura.

Song Ruozhen then realized that Chu Junting had been watching her rest here all along, and thus noticed that something was wrong and rushed over.

"me……"

Tang Xuening hadn't expected Chu Junting to know all this. She had only come over quietly after seeing the King of Chu being surrounded and talked by others.

Ling Qian'er realized something was wrong and immediately apologized to Song Ruozhen.

“Miss Song, I’m so sorry. I haven’t been back to the capital for a long time and I’m not aware of the grudges between you. I hope you can forgive my ignorance.”

Song Ruozhen glanced at Ling Qian'er indifferently, "It's alright, ignorance is no excuse, but Miss Ling should clarify the situation before making any judgments in the future."

Just because I don't mind doesn't mean others don't.
