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

Chapter 868 The Beating Back Then

Jia Yueying spoke in a gentle tone, but her words were full of sarcasm.

She heard everything they said clearly: her granddaughter had a high fever, and her daughter hadn't slept all night and had to be tormented by them.

If they leave like this today, I'm afraid my daughter will still not have peace, and it will be impossible for her to get a good night's sleep tonight.

If that's the case, it would be better to bring our daughter and the others back home. With their help in the mansion and no worries, our daughter can get a good rest, and our granddaughter can receive better care.

Madam Lu and Gao Jingci both looked extremely grim, but neither of them dared to utter a word.

On the contrary, Lu Junyi, upon hearing that his mother-in-law was going to take his wife away, hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, I heard that my second sister is about to get engaged. Can I also go with my wife?"

Seeing this, Song Ruozhen and the others couldn't help but laugh, while Chu Guixue blushed slightly. She knew her mother's temperament and knew she must be a little angry at this moment.

"Nobody's stopping you."

Jia Yueying glanced at Lu Junyi. Knowing that her daughter had been wronged, she really wanted to teach this bastard a lesson.

Now that I see this kid still knows how to protect his daughter, I won't hold it against him!

"Thank you, Mother-in-law!"

Lu Junyi breathed a sigh of relief. "After we get there, make sure Gui Xue gets plenty of rest. I'll take care of my daughter."

With the matter resolved, everyone left together.

"Madam Song, thank you so much for today. I feel really bad for troubling you all!" Jia Yueying said apologetically.

"What are you saying? We'll be family soon. Your business is our business. Don't worry about whether it's troublesome or not."

Gu Ruyan waved her hands repeatedly, her face full of smiles, "I think your eldest son-in-law is quite a good person, it's just that his mother is unreasonable."

Jia Yueying nodded, "We agreed to this marriage because we valued the young man's character."

"Well, what can I say now? Once they really separate, I don't know how the young couple will manage."

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we can lend a hand. Lu Erlang is capable and will be able to build his own business sooner or later."

Besides, the Lu family already has considerable wealth; if they really divide the inheritance, they can't just leave them with nothing.

Gu Ruyan had a very clear understanding of this kind of thing; as long as she had the ability, she wasn't afraid of anything else.

With Prince Gong as his father-in-law, Lu Junyi's work was much easier than others; this is what is meant by having a powerful backer.

“Princess Gong, shall we settle on the marriage between our Third Prince and your Second Miss?”

"If you're satisfied with our Sanlang, we'll pick an auspicious day and come to propose marriage. What do you say?"

Gu Ruyan hadn't forgotten her son, who was eagerly awaiting her arrival. Today was the day to arrange this marriage for him, and she couldn't let the Lu family's affairs overshadow the most important thing.

Upon hearing this, Princess Gong glanced at her husband and noticed that he seemed to be in charge. She then turned to look at Chu Qingli, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, both shy and happy. She immediately clapped her hands and settled down.

"Alright, our Qingli is waiting for you to come and propose marriage."

Both families were overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Yes, yes, we definitely will!"

Prince Gong looked at Song Ruozhen, who was happy for Song Zhiyu, and said to Song Lin, "Brother Song, we really owe a lot to Princess Chu today."

If she hadn't figured out where the hairpin was, we probably would have spent a lot of time arguing about it today; it was really troublesome.

Seeing his daughter, Song Lin felt a surge of pride.

"Zhen'er is indeed capable. The reason why our manor is getting better and better is largely thanks to her."

The group said their goodbyes at the entrance of the Lu residence before returning home.

Song Zhiyu couldn't hide his smile; he just kept grinning like an idiot.

Gu Ruyan looked at her silly son and shook her head helplessly. "This silly boy has never liked a girl before, but now that he's finally engaged to the girl he loves, he's so happy."

I think he'll be too excited to sleep tonight.

"I think it's great. He can finally marry the girl he likes. Who wouldn't be happy?"

Song Lin laughed along, clearly in a great mood. "Back then, the night our marriage was arranged, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night."

Now look at this, my son is already married and I'm about to have a grandson, time has flown by so fast.

Gu Ruyan blushed and patted Song Lin, saying, "The children are all here, why are you talking about such old, trivial matters?"

"What's wrong with letting them hear about our past? They're all grown up now anyway."

Song Lin had drunk too much, and was in an extremely good mood, talking non-stop.

"You're saying that Madam Lu is blind? It's only because Marquis Lu is no longer alive that she's still alive. If she were, seeing how she treats her two sons so differently, she'd probably be furious!"

Song Ruozhen became intrigued. "Madam Lu clearly favors Lu Haikuo. Could it be that when Marquis Lu was alive, he liked the second son of the Lu family?"

“Of course!” Song Lin nodded. “I’m not very familiar with Marquis Lu, but we did drink together once before.”

It was during that drinking session that I first became aware of this second son of the Lu family.

"It was already quite late when suddenly a strong wind picked up and it started to rain. We thought that with such heavy rain, we would probably be soaked to the bone on the way back."

Unexpectedly, Lu's second son still remembered his father and specially brought a carriage.

Knowing we were still drinking, he didn't rush us, but waited outside. When Lu Hou came out, drunk, he happened to see this kid.

Recalling the scene at that time, Song Lin couldn't help but sigh, "At that time, I thought that Marquis Lu still had a good son. I had four sons, and none of them came to pick me up in a carriage."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhiyu gave Song Jingshen a strange look, and the latter happened to be looking at him as well.

"Fourth brother, do you remember that time a few years ago when Father came home drunk? We had both gone to bed, and he beat us up for no reason?"

Song Jingshen nodded, "At the time, I didn't know what was going on. My father was beating and scolding us for being unfilial..."

"The next morning, my mother asked my father what had happened, and he only said that he had drunk too much, without saying anything else," Song Zhiyu said.

The two connected the dots and finally understood why they were beaten back then after so many years.

After all that fuss, it's all because of that brat Lu Junyi!

What a small world! Now we're even relatives!

Song Lin, the instigator: "..."

Gu Ruyan looked at Song Lin with a complicated expression. She had wondered why this guy had suddenly gone on a drunken rampage, but it turned out it was because of this...
