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

Chapter 962 The Second Young Master Didn't Die, He Came Back

"Amnesia?"

Madam Xiao and the real Xiao Wenche exchanged a glance, and Madam Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Amnesia means that they will not confront them now, and their lies will not be exposed, which puts them at ease.

However, now that he has amnesia, no one knows if he will remember it in the future. It is ultimately a time bomb!

Xia Zhilan nodded. "My husband has forgotten a lot, but when he saw me, he said he felt very familiar with me, so I knew he must still remember me."

As she spoke, Xia Zhilan smiled happily and waved to Xiao Chuxue.

"First Snow, Father's back! Why aren't you calling out to him?"

Looking at the identical face before her, and recalling what had happened before, Xiao Chuxue didn't hesitate for a moment and sweetly called out:

"Father, it's so good to have you back!"

Your daughter and mother missed you very much, and I'm so happy to see you back!

"My dear daughter, your father will never abandon you and your mother." Xiao Wenyuan reached out and patted Xiao Chuxue's head, his eyes filled with affection.

Xia Zhilan turned to look at Madam Xiao and said, "Mother-in-law, my husband fell off the cliff and was seriously injured. He needs to be properly nourished. Please give the kitchen instructions."

I happen to have some top-quality ginseng in my dowry, so I'll take it out and make medicinal cuisine for my husband.

Madam Xiao was slightly taken aback. "The century-old ginseng in your dowry?"

That century-old ginseng is incredibly valuable, and most importantly, it's very difficult to buy even with money.

She had been eyeing that ginseng for a long time and had subtly mentioned it to Xia Zhilan several times, but the girl seemed not to understand and never brought the ginseng to her as a gift.

Now that Wen Yuan is injured, she's willing to take it all out.

Xia Zhilan nodded, "Of course, although ginseng is hard to find, nothing is more important than my husband."

He survived this ordeal; he'll surely be blessed with good fortune from now on. I must make sure he recovers well. His official rank is still intact; a faster recovery means he can return to the court to report for duty sooner.”

"Speaking of which, my husband's return is all thanks to the Crown Princess. His Highness the Crown Prince even took the time to come back with us."

The Xiao family members also noticed Chu Junting and Song Ruozhen behind them and quickly bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness. If it weren't for you saving Wen Che, we...we would have..."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "It's alright, it's good that she's back. I also hope that Zhilan can live a good life."

"Wen Che, you must get well soon. Your grandmother has been very worried about Zhi Lan. Once you're better, you and Zhi Lan can go to the palace to see your grandmother so that she can be at ease."

Chu Junting spoke gently, and his appearance clearly showed that he had a very good impression of "Xiao Wenche".

Since he had promised his wife that he would put on a good show today, he naturally had to do it well.

The real Xiao Wenche clenched his fists as he watched his amnesiac elder brother take his place, his wife and daughters treat him so well, and now even the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had come in person.

It all actually belongs to him!

He knew perfectly well how good Xia Zhilan had been to him over the years.

Whenever he is unwell, Xia Zhilan will take good care of him, and whenever he encounters difficulties and needs money, Zhilan will never hesitate to help him.

Just like this century-old ginseng, which is so precious, she didn't even blink when she used it to nourish her elder brother.

The academic achievements I had worked so hard to obtain were now going to be inherited by my older brother. What was going on?

"Let's not talk outside, let's go inside."

You're just starting to feel better, and the doctor said it's not good for you to be exposed to drafts; it's very windy outside.

Xia Zhilan was overjoyed and looked extremely satisfied. Anyone could see the smile on her face.

"Okay, just listen to Madam."

Xiao Wenyuan smiled and agreed. He and Xia Zhilan had already discussed it after meeting.

Since they enjoy using deceptive tactics so much, let's just play along and see what happens.

Xiao Wenche did this because he believed that Xiao Wenyuan was dead and that all the benefits of the first and second wives would fall into his hands, so he chose to change his identity.

But now that he's back, he's directly taken over the identity of the second brother.

He wanted to see if his younger brother, who was living a life of luxury but didn't know how good he was, would regret it after realizing that he had taken away all the things that were originally his and that others envied.

And then there's his shameless and extravagant wife. He had always thought of her as his first wife, the one who bore him children, and that even if she had many flaws, he should try his best to be tolerant.

Now that he realizes that everything he did before was not worth it, he might as well take this opportunity to pass the hot potato to his second brother.

Anyway, the child this woman gave birth to wasn't his, and he didn't want it!

"Sister-in-law, you're so good to my second brother. You were making a fuss about leaving before, but now that he's back, are you still going to leave?"

Xiao Wenche clenched his fists, looking at Xia Zhilan's smiling face, which was completely different from the previous few days.

What a fool!

This woman really couldn't tell her husband apart; when she saw her elder brother, she truly believed he was her husband of many years.

Xia Zhilan has been with Xiao Wenche for so many years, how could she not understand him?

Just by looking at his expression, she knew he was furious, but she didn't show it on her face.

She remembered clearly how her disgusting husband and Lu Fei had been showing off their affection in front of her the other day. An eye for an eye, now it was time for them to experience what it felt like!

"Brother, what are you saying?"

I was heartbroken over the passing of my husband. I couldn't bear the pain alone. Staying here would only remind me of him and make me feel worse, so I wanted to leave.

Now that my husband has returned, naturally I want to spend my life with him. How could I leave him?

Xia Zhilan smiled gently, "After this incident, I've realized that I will cherish every day we spend together from now on, and I will treat him even better than before!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Xiao Wenyuan, "Husband, I haven't given you the jade pendant you said you liked before."

I'll have someone bring it from the storeroom later; it's top-quality jade, and it'll be good for your health if you wear it."

“Madam, you are so kind to me, but that jade pendant is very valuable. You should keep it for yourself,” Xiao Wenyuan said with a smile.

Xiao Wenche's heart tightened immediately. He had liked that jade pendant for a long time; it was carved from top-grade jade.

Because it was so valuable, and it was a gift from the Empress Dowager, he asked Xia Zhilan for it several times, but she refused each time.

Now look what's happened! She's actually going to give it to my older brother, and he's getting such a nice jade pendant for nothing, stealing his prized possession. How can he be worthy of it!

Xia Zhilan held Xiao Wenyuan's hand and said, "Your safe return is the best gift God has ever given me."

These past few days I've been filled with regret for not agreeing to your request before. Fortunately, I still have a chance to make amends!
