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

Chapter 793 Pregnant

Chu Muyao blinked. She and Song Jingshen often joked around when they were together, but now, faced with his serious expression, she was a little uncertain.

"Do you mean... what I think it means?"

Song Jingshen raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Besides this meaning, what other interpretation could there be?"

Chu Muyao's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if the thin veil between them had been pierced, and this was a confession to her.

"I don't understand." Chu Muyao turned her gaze to the other side and muttered, "What exactly do you mean?"

Seeing the girl turn and lean against the railing, facing the shimmering river, and with a faint smile on her lips visible from the side, Song Jingshen felt increasingly pleased.

"I mean……"

Song Jingshen spoke again.

Chu Muyao listened intently, but then noticed the silence suddenly stopped. She couldn't help but turn her head and ask, "What did you say?"

As Chu Muyao turned around, Song Jingshen took her hand, gazed at her intently, and said:

"My heart pleases you."

The man's gentle voice brushed past her ears like the most beautiful music in the world, stirring up waves in her heart.

The surrounding noise seemed to disappear at that moment, leaving only his words.

"Would you like to be with me?" Song Jingshen asked.

Chu Muyao suppressed the involuntary upturn of her lips and said, "Then I'll have to think about it carefully. Someone reminded me before that I must think things through carefully and see what kind of person the other party really is."

Otherwise, it's very easy to be deceived.

Song Jingshen recalled that he had indeed said these words to Chu Muyao before, and chuckled, "What this person said is absolutely right. You really need to think about it carefully."

"Then I'll investigate further. I've heard that some men say sweet things when they're trying to win a girl over, but once they've got her, they change their tune completely," Chu Muyao said, pretending to ponder.

Song Jingshen nodded, "Then you should investigate carefully. My sincerity towards you is as clear as day."

Chu Muyao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I want to eat candied hawthorn."

"I'll go buy it right now."

Song Jingshen told Chu Muyao to stay where she was and wait for him, then walked towards a vendor selling candied hawthorns not far away.

Chu Muyao looked excitedly at her maid, who was equally delighted. The Fourth Young Master Song was much better than that heartless man from before!

"Princess, once you marry the Fourth Prince, won't the Princess Consort of Chu become your younger sister?" the maid asked curiously.

Chu Muyao blushed upon hearing the word "marriage," but upon hearing the rest, she couldn't help but wonder, "You're right!"

"If my elder brother knew that I was with Fourth Brother Song, I wonder what his reaction would be? Would he be unhappy?"

Thinking of this, Chu Muyao couldn't help but recall how blind she had been to fall for such a scoundrel, and how everyone felt it was inappropriate after they found out.

What if people still feel it's inappropriate after we tell them this time?

……

Song Ruozhen strolled through the temple fair with Chu Junting, and only returned to the palace after it got quite dark.

"The night is so beautiful tonight, we should really have a drink!"

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Song Ruozhen thought about the unexpected joy of tonight. Although her third brother and Miss Chu were still far from being officially together, her fourth brother and Mu Yao should be in sync tonight!

The saying "a chance encounter can lead to unexpected success" perfectly describes this situation.

If I hadn't happened to see Fourth Brother and Miss Chu together tonight, this unspoken understanding wouldn't have been so easily broken.

Seeing that his wife was in high spirits, Chu Junting ordered someone to prepare her favorite dishes and wine.

The two enjoyed a drink under the moon, and were quite happy.

The next day, Song Ruozhen had barely gotten up when Gu Huan'er excitedly came to find her.

"Cousin, I have some good news for you!" Gu Huan'er said mysteriously.

Seeing her overjoyed expression, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but smile, and her mood improved as well.

"What good news?"

Seeing that Song Ruozhen was unaware, Gu Huan'er found it strange. "Cousin, there's almost nothing you can't calculate. How come you don't know?"

"Since you've already told me, why should I calculate it myself? If I had to calculate everything, wouldn't that take away a lot of the fun?"

Gu Huan'er suddenly realized, "That makes sense. If that were the case, it would indeed be much less fun."

"Cousin, I'm pregnant."

Gu Huan'er couldn't help but laugh after she finished speaking, her face beaming with happiness.

"Actually, not long after I married the prince, I had a premonition that I was pregnant. It was a really magical feeling."

"Even though I've never been a mother, I have this feeling in my heart, could it be the telepathy between mother and child?"

When Gu Huan'er talked about this, she was overjoyed.

In fact, ever since she had a premonition, she had been taking good care of her health. Although she was extremely excited, she did not tell anyone else.

After all, it's not confirmed yet. What if she gets pregnant? Wouldn't people laugh at her if word got out?

Later, when she found that her period was late, she realized that her suspicions might be true. After the Prince of Yun learned of the situation, he immediately summoned the imperial physician. After confirming the pregnancy, she first told her parents and then her cousin.

However, as Song Ruozhen listened to Gu Huan'er's words, her expression gradually became strange and serious.

She looked at Gu Huan'er's abdomen, where there was indeed a shadow, but no child was present.

Gu Huan'er noticed Song Ruozhen's expression and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Cousin, aren't you happy for me? Is there something wrong with my child?"

Seeing that Gu Huan'er's expression had become visibly tense, Song Ruozhen said, "Don't worry, let me take your pulse first."

After Song Ruozhen took Gu Huan'er's pulse, her heart gradually calmed down.

"Cousin, how are you?"

"It is indeed a pregnancy test," Song Ruozhen said with a smile. "Congratulations! You must take good care of yourself and the baby from now on."

Hearing this, Gu Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "I will. My parents gave me repeated instructions after they heard the news, and the prince even brought his wet nurse from the palace."

They said the wet nurse was experienced and would definitely take good care of me and the baby.

"King Yun is so thoughtful, he must be overjoyed right now."

Gu Huan'er nodded, "He's with my brother-in-law right now. Ever since he found out I was pregnant, he's been even more eager to come here than I am. He said that he's never won against my brother-in-law since he was a child, but he's won this round when it comes to becoming a father."

At this point, Gu Huan'er paused, realizing something was amiss, and said, "Cousin, I didn't mean to show off, I just..."

"No need to explain, I understand." Song Ruozhen waved her hand. "Pregnancy is something that depends on fate."
