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

Chapter 731 Why me?

Wu Jingshuo's face has been very unpleasant ever since he returned.

He sent so many gifts to apologize to Song Yanzhou; it was truly an undeserved disaster!

Ao Jie lay on the bed. He hadn't felt this way before, but ever since he learned that he had become a cripple, he found the time passing by exceptionally difficult.

"Princess, did you hear any news about the divine physician from His Highness Prince Yang today?"

Wu Yue'er looked slightly embarrassed. "His Highness Prince Yang went out today on business. I haven't seen him yet. I will definitely ask him for you when I see him tomorrow."

She went to the Prince's mansion but found nothing. She didn't know where Prince Yang had gone, and now she couldn't find him at all.

Ao Jie frowned. "Is His Highness Prince Yang deliberately avoiding you because of what happened before?"

"How could that be? Prince Yang is a prince after all. He has things to do every day. He can't just stay in the mansion all day doing nothing."

Wu Yue'er naturally didn't believe this. It was just bad luck today. She would definitely see Prince Yang tomorrow, and as for the whereabouts of this divine doctor, she would know as soon as she asked.

"Don't worry, he's just a miracle doctor. It's not a secret. You can find out by asking him."

Even if Song Yanzhou has the backing of the Prince of Chu's mansion, does he think he can control everything and stop the divine physician from treating you?

Just then, Wu Jingshuo came in from outside and heard Wu Yue'er's words. His expression turned even uglier.

"Don't even think about it, that miracle doctor can't cure you."

Upon hearing this, both Wu Yue'er and Ao Jie were stunned, their eyes flashing with bewildered surprise.

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Do you know who that miracle doctor is?" Song Yanzhou asked.

Wu Yue'er shook her head in confusion, "I haven't seen Prince Yang today, so I'm not sure. Could it be that you already know, Your Majesty?"

Wu Jingshuo's face darkened as he said, "That divine physician is none other than Princess Consort of Chu—Song Ruozhen!"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Wu Yue'er looked incredulous. "What? Your Majesty, are you mistaken? How could she possibly be the Princess Consort of Chu?"

"I specifically asked this question in the Imperial Study today. Do you think it's possible that I'm mistaken?"

Wu Jingshuo took a deep breath. "Ever since you came here, you've been offending Princess Chu. You even wanted Ao Jie to kill her own brother. Do you think she'd agree to help you?"

Ao Jie's face turned ashen instantly; he never expected things to turn out this way!

"Then am I beyond saving? Your Highness, you must think of a way. I can't just become a cripple like this!"

Ao Jie was extremely anxious. He was a great general with a bright future ahead of him. How could he suddenly fall from grace like this?

At that moment, he suddenly hated Wu Yue'er.

He hadn't originally planned to provoke the Song family, since he had come specifically for the marriage alliance. It was Wu Yue'er who made him do it, which is why he went.

Who would have thought that this decision would lead to the current situation!

He can't accept this outcome!

Seeing Wu Jingshuo's serious attitude, Wu Yue'er knew he wasn't lying, and she understood. She couldn't believe that Song Ruozhen had such abilities.

“Brother, now that we know it was Song Ruozhen who did it, there’s no need for us to waste any more time.”

We came here with sincere intentions for this marriage alliance, so can't we find a way to get Song Ruozhen's help with the treatment?

Wu Yue'er's heart instantly became active. She was thinking that she had no chance to get close to Chu Junting. If she could use this as an excuse to get closer, wouldn't everything fall into place naturally?

She believed in her charm, and that the King of Chu simply didn't truly understand her yet.

If they have more opportunities to get to know each other, I believe the King of Chu will definitely fall in love with her!

Wu Jingshuo saw through her thoughts at a glance and said, "Stop daydreaming. If the King of Chu really had feelings for you, he would have made it so obvious before. He wouldn't have refused you at all."

Now that he's making it so obvious, if you go up to him, you'll just be embarrassing yourself.

The dignity of our dynasty must not be ruined in your hands!

Wu Yue'er's expression froze. These words left her no room for mercy, as if they had ripped off her fig leaf and trampled it into the ground!

"Brother, how could you say that to me!" Wu Yue'er said, feeling ashamed and indignant.

However, Wu Jingshuo no longer felt sorry for Wu Yue'er as much as before. "Since you caused this, if you want Song Ruozhen's help, you can only apologize and express your sincerity."

"What? Didn't I already apologize in front of so many people before? Why do I need to apologize again!"

Wu Yue'er's voice was sharp; she had no intention of bowing down to Song Ruozhen again!

"Now it's you who need their help, not the other way around. Think about it yourselves. If you want someone to help you, then do as I say!"

Wu Jingshuo's voice was sharp, "I'm warning you, don't cause any more trouble in the future. Princess Chu is not someone to be trifled with."

If you want her to help, you need to show enough sincerity that everyone can see, and she won't be able to refuse.

Wu Yue'er fell silent. Last time she was asked to apologize, she felt inferior in front of Song Ruozhen. If she had to beg for forgiveness again now, she would never be able to hold her head up in front of Song Ruozhen again...

……

Meng Qin was a little reserved at first, but as the atmosphere became more lively, she gradually relaxed.

After a few rounds of drinks, Chu Yungui said drunkenly, "Once you two get married, we'll get together often. This hot pot is really good, so lively!"

Meng Qin blushed. This matter hadn't been settled yet, but she didn't expect that Prince Yun already knew about it. Could it be that Prince Yang told him?

Prince Yang had been looking for a suitable opportunity to speak up, and when Chu Yungui brought it up, he seemed to have made up his mind and said to Meng Qin:

"Sister Meng, how about we go for a stroll in the pavilion to digest our food?"

Meng Qin was slightly taken aback. She subconsciously glanced at Song Ruozhen and Gu Huan'er, and saw the two of them nodding with smiles on their faces. She then agreed, "Okay."

After the two went to the pavilion, Prince Yang took a deep breath before speaking:

“Sister Meng, I know that this marriage proposal was too hasty and it was my fault.”

Part of the reason for this is indeed to arrange the marriage as soon as possible to avoid being forced into a marriage of convenience by my father, but I assure you, I will not marry just any girl.

"We've known each other since we were little, and we've never lost touch over the years. We've always kept in touch and understood each other."

If you're willing to marry me, I swear I will treat you well and never let you down!

Seeing that Prince Yang nervously held up three fingers, as if he were about to swear an oath, Meng Qin quickly said:

"Your Highness need not swear. In fact, I came here today to ask you something."

Prince Yang nodded repeatedly, "Go ahead and ask."

"Why me?" Meng Qin asked, voicing the question that had been bothering her.

Prince Yang's heart raced involuntarily as he pondered how best to explain things...
