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

Chapter 725 Meng Qin's Absent-Mindedness

Seeing Yun Nianchu's worried expression, Song Ruozhen chuckled and said:

"We're both princesses, and she's not afraid to offend me, so why would I be afraid to offend her?"

Since we're destined to be enemies anyway, it won't be long before our grudges become public, so there's clearly no need for pretense now.

"Ruozhen, your personality has really changed a lot now," Yun Nianchu exclaimed.

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "What? You don't like it?"

"No." Yun Nianchu shook her head. "You have no idea how happy I felt when I saw that scene just now!"

Come to think of it, it's because of the environment we were in when we were young. I don't think every young lady from a prominent family is always so cautious and careful.

Tang Xuening used to be a highly praised young lady in the capital, look at her now! I just think that her associating with Princess Liang can't be good, she might be plotting to cause you trouble.”

"When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it. If she learns from her mistakes and stops causing trouble in the future, that's fine. But if she insists on causing trouble again and again, then she can't blame anyone else."

Song Ruozhen shrugged. As the sect leader of the Xuanmen, she had seen far too many of these things.

Not everyone who makes a mistake will reflect on it and sincerely repent; more often, they repeat the same mistake, refusing to give up until they reach the very end.

All they can do is respect the fate of others, whether it is good or bad, they should bear the consequences themselves.

Yun Nian was not afraid at all when she first met Song Ruozhen. She was genuinely happy for her. This kind of confidence was something neither of them had before.

"Hey, look, isn't that Meng Qin?"

Yun Nianchu suddenly noticed a figure across the street, smiled and waved, "Meng Qin!"

Meng Qin was somewhat absent-minded. When she heard someone call her name, she quickly turned her gaze and saw Song Ruozhen and Yun Nianchu. A smile appeared on her face.

"Nianchu, Ruozhen, you're here too!"

Meng Qin quickly walked to the two of them, her previous absent-mindedness replaced by joy. "You two went shopping without inviting me. Last time, thanks to Ruozhen, my brother solved a big problem."

When my parents found out, they kept saying my brother was stupid, and that they would definitely find an opportunity to invite you to their home.

"I'll definitely go another day." Song Ruozhen chuckled and asked with concern, "Is something on your mind? You seem a bit distracted."

"Ruozhen, you're amazing! Nothing can be hidden from you."

Meng Qin sighed, her expression becoming complicated, and asked, "Speaking of this matter, I really do have something I'd like to ask you."

"what's up?"

"I've heard that His Highness Prince Yang has been chasing after Princess Qi Yue lately, is that true?"

Song Ruozhen and Yun Nianchu exchanged a glance upon hearing this, their hearts filled with curiosity. Why was Meng Qin asking Prince Yang what he wanted? Could it be that there was some connection between the two of them?

“His Highness Prince Yang did have this plan before, but after getting to know him, he realized that he and Wu Yue’er were not suitable, so he has given up the idea.”

Song Ruozhen thought that Yang Wang's attitude had been very clear before, and he had completely given up on this idea.

As far as she knew, it seemed that Prince Yang had not seen Wu Yue'er since then.

"He realized they weren't a good match?" Meng Qin asked, somewhat surprised. "How did he realize they weren't a good match?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Nianchu said, "You must have heard about what that Princess Qi Yue has been doing recently. How willful and capricious she is."

Not only did he target Ruozhen at the Song family teahouse, but he also specifically sent General Aojie to issue a challenge to Brother Song. However, he's now reaping what he sowed; his reputation is completely ruined.

Meng Qin suddenly realized, "Did His Highness Prince Yang give up pursuing Wu Yue'er because of these things?"

“That’s right.” Song Ruozhen nodded. “Although marrying a princess for a political marriage does have its advantages, marriage is a major life event. His Highness Prince Yang is a wise man and naturally realizes the problems involved.”

Yun Nianchu listened and nodded in agreement, but couldn't help feeling curious:

"Meng Qin, haven't you always been uninterested in men? Why are you suddenly so concerned about His Highness Prince Yang today? Could it be..."

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. She naturally realized that something was wrong. Meng Qin's absent-mindedness and unusual concern for Prince Yang must have a reason.

Meng Qin's expression froze. She had originally wanted to cover it up, since this was just a suggestion and not something to say rashly. But thinking that they were her most trusted sisters, she lowered her voice and told them the whole story in detail.

“My mother and Consort Shu are childhood friends. Today, Consort Shu specially summoned my mother to the palace, saying that she wants me to marry Prince Yang.”

"What?" Yun Nianchu's eyes widened, then she became delighted. "If you really marry Prince Yang, wouldn't you become Princess Yang? Wouldn't I suddenly know three princesses?"

I never dared to imagine such a thing before, but who would have thought that such a fate would happen?

Seeing that Yun Nianchu had completely misunderstood, Meng Qin quickly said, "This is just a suggestion right now; it's not even close to being a done deal!"

"So you're thinking that you've heard that His Highness Prince Yang is pursuing Wu Yue'er, and you don't understand why he would want to marry you out of the blue, so you want to get to the bottom of it?"

Song Ruozhen understood. She had heard her aunt mention it when she visited the Meng family before, saying that they had been worrying about Meng Qin's marriage.

After all, she's not young anymore and has long reached the age to get married. However, she's stubborn, and her family really feels sorry for her and wants to wait until she finds a suitable husband, so they keep putting it off.

If Prince Yang is a trustworthy person, this is indeed a good marriage proposal.

Meng Qin nodded, thinking of Prince Yang's face. In fact, they had known each other for many years.

When she was a child and her gender awareness was not yet clear, she often followed Prince Yang to climb trees and crawl through holes, and she would always be with Prince Yang when she got into trouble.

At that time, she was always happy whenever she had the chance to see Prince Yang.

However, as they grew up and the distinction between men and women emerged, the distance between them naturally grew considerably.

In addition, although she came from a prestigious family, it was a family of military generals, not a dignified lady. She preferred swordsmanship to embroidery and playing the zither, and the young men of the capital said she was rude and uncouth.

On one occasion, when she was ridiculed by other young noblemen, it was Prince Yang who spoke up for her and gave the other party a severe scolding.

Aside from that, they didn't have much interaction. They could only watch each other from afar during banquets, without much communication.

Now that their marriage has suddenly been brought up, her feelings are naturally indescribably complicated.

"I see."

Song Ruozhen and Yun Nianchu suddenly realized that this was their relationship!

"So, Meng Qin, do you like Prince Yang?" Yun Nianchu asked curiously.
