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

Chapter 837: Out of anger

As Prince Gong finished speaking, Jia Yueying and her daughters all looked astonished.

"The marriage is arranged?" Jia Yueying exclaimed in surprise. "Your Highness, did you perhaps run into General Song today?"

She made an appointment with Madam Song today. After the prince returns, she will explain the marriage to him, and then they will arrange a time for her to propose marriage.

She had originally intended to tell the prince about this yesterday, but the prince not only went to visit someone but also stayed overnight, only returning today.

Prince Gong looked puzzled. "What General Song?"

When Chu Qingli saw her father's annoying expression, her heart sank. She felt that things were not developing as she had imagined. Could something unexpected have happened?

“Of course it’s General Song Lin! I’ve already met Madam Song these past two days. Her son is a perfect match for our Qingli!” Jia Yueying said anxiously.

Now it was Prince Gong's turn to be dumbfounded.

"I knew nothing about this. The engagement I was talking about was an engagement with the Marquis of Yong'an's family."

These words shocked not only Chu Qingli, but also Chu Yingmeng.

"Father, you went out and immediately arranged my sister's marriage? Which young master from the Marquis of Yong'an's mansion? Aren't you just randomly matchmaking people up?"

Prince Gong frowned. "Qingli's marriage has been delayed for so long, and she's getting too old. She should have been engaged much earlier."

Qiu Xingxue of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion is good-looking, knowledgeable, and most importantly, kind-hearted.

Although he is only a son of a concubine and his status is slightly lower, as long as he can excel in the imperial examinations and with our help, his future will definitely be bright.

"What? He's an illegitimate son?"

When Jia Yueying heard that he was actually a son born out of wedlock, she was furious. General Song's son was the legitimate son!

Although he didn't take the imperial examination route, he is now working in the palace and has even made an appearance before the emperor. I heard that he will be promoted to a first-class imperial bodyguard soon.

If one truly gains the Emperor's favor, one's future prospects will be no worse than those of those who passed the imperial examinations!

"So what if he's a son of a concubine? You've seen the character of all the legitimate sons we've met over the years."

You can't choose your birth, the most important thing is that the person is good. Even if the other person comes from a humble background, it doesn't matter. In fact, because Qingli comes from a high-ranking family, they can treat her even better.

Prince Gong looked serious. This was a decision she had made after careful consideration, because the other party's background was not high enough, so they would definitely have to rely on their family.

Therefore, they naturally dared not let Qingli suffer any injustice.

"This time I went to a banquet and accidentally drank too much and fell into the river. Fortunately, Xingxue saved me. I saw that he was talented and good-looking, and he happened to be unmarried."

During our conversation, he expressed his deep admiration for Qingli and completely disbelieved the so-called "husband-killing" theory.

These warriors are constantly in danger; General Zhao lost his life because of it. In my opinion, we should choose a scholar instead, then we won't have to worry about such things.”

Jia Yueying frowned. She knew Prince Gong's temperament; he genuinely cared for Qingli and had gone to great lengths to arrange this marriage.

If it weren't for the appearance of Song Sanlang, she would have thought this marriage would be quite good. But now that Song Sanlang is involved, he is outstanding in appearance, strength, and family background. Most importantly, Qingli also likes him.

This is the most important.

"No, no, this marriage you're considering is not as good as the one I arranged for Qingli. You should find a way to cancel this marriage right away!"

Jia Yueying waved her hands repeatedly, unable to contain her anger, "Look at what you've done! Such a big deal as an engagement, even if you've chosen someone you like, you should come back and discuss it with us properly!"

Now look what's happened! Without even discussing it, you've made this decision. Do you even know that the Third Young Master Song has saved Qingli before, and more than once!

She specifically asked the maid, and only then did she learn how Qingli had been humiliated that day, and how Song Sanlang had protected her.

Only a loyal, honest, and kind person like this can truly be good to Qingli!

"Is this even possible? Could it be that kid staged it all himself?"

Prince Gong frowned. He didn't know what was wrong with his wife. She had been urging him every day to pay attention to Qingli's marriage and find her a suitable family.

Now he has finally found a suitable one, but his wife is dissatisfied with everything he does.

“You know those scoundrels have done this before, so don’t be easily fooled!” Prince Gong said in a deep voice.

“Father, Young Master Song is not that kind of person. Besides, he didn’t even leave his name after he saved me the first time. It was because I wanted to repay his kindness that I found him.”

He is not someone who takes advantage of kindness; he is truly righteous.

Chu Qingli said seriously, "Don't confuse him with those despicable people!"

Prince Gong was genuinely surprised to see Chu Qingli so protective of Song Zhiyu.

Since what happened back then, his daughter has remained indifferent and has had no interest in marriage. Now, with this attitude... could it be that she has really fallen in love with Song Sanlang?

"Qingli, do you like that boy?"

Chu Qingli was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Yes."

Prince Gong, who had been quite assertive just moments before, clapped his hands upon learning that his daughter liked him, exclaiming, "Oh no!"

Jia Yueying looked displeased. "What's broken?"

"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner? There was no word of it before, and I had no idea that Qingli had someone she liked."

If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have arranged this marriage. Now I'm in a difficult position to explain!

Prince Gong was filled with regret. He had been pressured by his wife and was also worried about Qingli, so he rushed to arrange the marriage after finding a suitable candidate.

I thought my wife would be very happy to come back today, but I never expected that my good intentions would backfire. The engagement has already been arranged, and now she's suddenly saying she wants to call it off... that's hard to say!

"Speaking of which, this is all your fault. You didn't even ask your own daughter what she thought before you arranged the marriage!"

"I don't care, you have to figure out a way to call off this marriage!"

Jia Yueying was furious. "I told you before that you always make mistakes when you drink, and I told you never to. You even promised me you wouldn't go out drinking anymore, but look what happened! You drank again and fell into the pool!"

“Father, every time you go out, doesn’t Mother always tell you to bring two extra servants with you?”

Why didn't the servant save you when you accidentally fell into the pond? Why did you need Young Master Qiu to rescue you?

Chu Qingli frowned slightly. She felt something was off about this matter; it was rather strange. Could it really be such a coincidence?

"Yes, what happened?" Jia Yueying asked.

Prince Gong carefully recalled the situation at the time, his expression gradually becoming strange...
