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

Chapter 828 Princess Gong

Song Zhiyu spoke from the bottom of his heart. He had never believed such words before, let alone since he met Tian Qiang and Tian Shu and learned a lot from them.

Although he wasn't as well-read as his second brother, he had heard of countless women throughout history who had been unjustly vilified.

It can only be said that people like Liao Wenjie have wasted their education.

Chu Qingli stared blankly at the tall man beside her, her red lips parted, but she didn't know where to begin.

She thought that after experiencing so much, her heart had long since turned to ashes. However, her parents couldn't bear to let her become a nun, and staying at home would only cause trouble. So, she thought that she might get married in the future.

As for who she will marry, she has long since given up any expectations. As long as she doesn't become a burden on her family, that would be the best outcome.

However, at this moment, her heart stirred again, even uncontrollably tinged with a hint of anticipation, a mixture of joy and excitement, but hidden deeper within was fear.

"Shall I take you back?"

Song Zhiyu knew that his sudden confession of his feelings today was too unexpected, and Chu Qingli might have been startled.

Even if he wasn't scared, it's normal for him not to answer immediately. He likes her, but she doesn't have to like him back.

Along the way, Chu Yingmeng asked Song Zhiyu many questions out of curiosity, while Chu Qingli walked quietly to the side, listening carefully to every word they said.

Chu Yingmeng specifically asked questions that her older sister was interested in, and what surprised her even more was that Song Zhiyu was truly an open and honest person.

He seemed to have no secrets to hide, and everything he said came out very naturally. He didn't even conceal some of his own shortcomings.

"Sister, I used to think that people who are too honest are no good, they're boring, but now I find that this guy is honest and kind, much more interesting than those glib-tongued people!"

Chu Yingmeng lowered her voice and whispered in Chu Qingli's ear, "I have never met a man like him before. He is really... very different!"

"The kind of person you're talking about is a bookworm, he's not!" Chu Qingli argued.

"Young Master Song is honest but not stupid. He has his own principles in dealing with people and situations."

Compared to those people's cunning schemes, he was simply more pure and simple.

People like this are easier to get along with, and that brings the purest kind of joy.

There's no flattery, no backstabbing; you like what you like, and you get angry when you get angry. There's no need to hide anything or waste time guessing.

Chu Yingmeng was surprised to see her older sister suddenly say so much.

"I've never seen you praise anyone like this before. You clearly like them, so don't deny it."

Chu Qingli sighed. Her younger sister had been affected by her over the years, but had not truly experienced what her sister had gone through.

Many things are not simply a matter of what they think is good; there are too many other variables. If they knowingly do something impossible, all they will end up with is sadness.

Upon arriving at Prince Gong's Mansion, Song Zhiyu smiled and said, "You can go back now."

Chu Qingli looked at Song Zhiyu in front of her, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Young Master Song, I've heard that your sister, Princess Consort of Chu, is skilled in metaphysics, is that right?"

Song Zhiyu nodded, a hint of pride in his smile. "Indeed, my fifth sister's metaphysical skills are quite exquisite."

"I don't know whether what that master said was true or false, but it is a fact that he died before I was married."

If all of this is true, I don't want to hurt you.

Chu Qingli looked at the man in front of her, a hint of seriousness in her clear and bright eyes.

Song Zhiyu waved his hands repeatedly, "No, you would never have that kind of fate. All those so-called masters were talking nonsense. My sister is the one with real skills."

Chu Yingmeng couldn't help but laugh out loud after Song Zhiyu left:

"Sister, do you think he understood what you meant by what you just said?"

She understood the deeper meaning in her sister's words. If he was truly a jinx to her husband, she didn't want to harm Young Master Song. But if he wasn't, then didn't that mean she liked him and was willing to marry him?

"I do not know."

Chu Qingli shook her head. She had been thinking about it the whole way. Since Young Master Song had expressed his feelings, shouldn't she also give a response? She couldn't just remain silent.

In fact, the few times they met during this period were all intentionally arranged by her.

Sometimes she felt that what she was doing was meaningless, but she couldn't help but want to take the opportunity to see him.

I am truly satisfied to hear him express his feelings in person today.

Just then, a familiar, gentle female voice came from behind them: "You're back? Who was that young master just now?"

Princess Consort Jia Yueying was worried because her two daughters hadn't returned from their trip, so she went out to check on them. Unexpectedly, she saw them waving goodbye to the young man.

She came out late and couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but from his back, it was easy to tell that he was a tall and strong young man.

She couldn't help but feel regretful; she wished she had come out sooner!

"Mother, why did you come out?"

Chu Qingli and her sister were both taken aback, not expecting to run into their mother. They exchanged a glance instinctively, unsure whether to speak or not.

"I came out to check on you when I noticed you hadn't returned, and I was surprised to find a strange young man here. What brings you here?"

"On our way back, we ran into Liao Wenjie. Mother, that Liao Wenjie is a real scoundrel. He actually humiliated my sister!"

His wife died too, didn't she? What right does he have to talk about his sister? I'd say he's a jinx to his wives!

Chu Yingmeng felt furious whenever she thought of Liao Wenjie, but the thought of him getting beaten to a pulp and running away covered in blood made her feel a sense of satisfaction.

You deserve it!

"Liao Wenjie?" Princess Gong's attention was immediately drawn, and she frowned, saying, "Why is this guy here again? He's really pushing his luck. Next time, I'll definitely have the Prince teach him a lesson!"

Chu Yingmeng glanced at Chu Qingli, then smiled and said, "Mother, that young master has already taught Liao Wenjie a lesson!"

"That young master from just now? Whose son is he?"

Chu Yingmeng chuckled, "Then you'll have to ask my sister!"

Upon hearing that it was related to Qingli, Princess Gong became even more interested. "Qingli, why don't you tell your mother about it?"

“Mother, he is the third young master of General Song’s mansion,” Chu Qingli said.

Princess Gong's eyes lit up. "I've heard the Prince say that all four sons of the Song family are successful. It seems that the third son of the Song family is currently working in the palace, isn't that right?"

Chu Qingli nodded, "He is now an imperial bodyguard. He happened to be passing by today and saw Liao Wenjie humiliating me, so he stepped in to help."

"So it seems the Song family's sons are indeed excellent. General Song is truly blessed; all five of his children are successful!"

Princess Gong spoke while observing her daughter's reaction, wondering if there was any possibility of something else developing from this hero saving the beauty.
