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

Chapter 118 Good words are useless against a damned ghost!

Bai Zimu frowned. Xu Mama had always treated him very well, and he was quite surprised by her sudden death. He even made a special inquiry about it.

Unfortunately, we didn't get any useful information.

"She was just a nanny. She worked in Mother's courtyard. She suddenly fell ill and died because her death was too gruesome. Before she died, she left this last wish, so Mother ordered this to be done. What's so strange about that?"

Bai Junyu hurriedly spoke, instinctively wanting to accuse Song Ruozhen of being a charlatan, but before he could finish, he met the King of Chu's cold gaze and immediately swallowed his words.

He dared not slander the King of Chu's honored guest, for he could not bear the consequences if he angered the King.

"Brother, even if you resent Mother because of this, you can't just fabricate something like this to slander her!"

My mother has always been kind; why would she kill Granny Xu for no reason?

Bai Junyu dared not criticize Song Ruozhen, but he was not afraid of Bai Zimu.

Now that his true identity has been exposed, we might as well make a bigger scene. Everyone will know that Bai Zimu is not the legitimate son but the illegitimate son, so his status will naturally be superior to Bai Zimu's!

"If the only person who has died in the manor recently is this Granny Xu, then it is very likely that it was her."

Song Ruozhen ignored Bai Junyu. A stupid mother gave birth to a stupid son. His abacus was practically jumping into their faces!

As she pointed with her finger, her gaze grew increasingly sharp, and she looked at Bai Zimu with a hint of pity.

Bai Zimu felt uneasy under Song Ruozhen's gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Song, is there something wrong with you looking at me like that?"

"Young Master Bai, you are truly lucky to be alive."

Bai Chenghong keenly sensed the problem and quickly asked, "Miss Song, what do you mean by that?"

Song Ruozhen did not speak directly, but turned her gaze to Lü Wenxiu, "Madam Bai, I advise you to be kind. If you are willing to take the initiative to tell everything today, there may still be a chance to resolve this."

If you insist on not speaking, or even become more murderous, then no one can save you.

Bai Chenghong's eyes instantly turned sharp, and his gaze toward Lü Wenxiu carried a hint of scrutiny.

"My lord, this woman is clearly trying to sow discord. I have always treated Zimu as my own son, how could I possibly harm him?"

Lu Wenxiu was eager to clear herself of any involvement and glared angrily at Song Ruozhen, "Playing tricks? I've lived an upright life, what do I have to be afraid of?"

"it's up to you."

Song Ruozhen remained calm. It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. She had already done everything she could, and there was nothing she could do if Lü Wenxiu was determined to die.

She wasn't that kind-hearted; in her eyes, someone like Lü Wenxiu deserved to die!

The reason she was asked to tell the truth was to give Bai Zimu and Granny Xu justice. She would definitely have to go to jail, but if she didn't tell the truth, she would be doomed!

Seeing Song Ruozhen's attitude, Lü Wenxiu began to feel uncertain.

She had never seen this woman before, and knew nothing about the situation in the manor, yet her eyes seemed to see through everything, which made her feel uneasy.

Thinking about it carefully, ever since Granny Xu died, every time she closed her eyes at night, she saw Granny Xu's tragic state, which frightened her so much that she dared not sleep. That's why she was in a daze and even tripped and fell while walking.

But to think that this alone would scare her to death is a joke!

Song Ruozhen took out a stick of incense and gave it to Bai Zimu. "Young Master Bai, I think your mother has been waiting here all these years because she must want to see you."

I'm giving you this incense stick. If you believe me, light it before you go to sleep tonight, and you will see the person you wish to see.

The mother and son haven't had a chance to meet and have a proper talk in all these years, which must be Yu Yueling's biggest regret.

As for dispelling the evil spirits of this place and sending Yu Yueling to be reincarnated, we'll discuss that after the mother and son meet; today is not the time.

"Thank you, Miss Song."

Bai Zimu gratefully accepted the incense stick. He had heard about the Dong family's young master before, and the story was incredibly exaggerated, but subconsciously he still felt that it couldn't be that miraculous.

Even now, as he receives this stick of incense, a deep sense of anticipation arises in his heart.

If he still has a chance to see his mother, that would be wonderful!

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenghong's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Miss Song, could I have one of these incense sticks?"

Song Ruozhen glanced at Yu Yueling, and seeing her shake her head, she said, "She doesn't want to see you."

Bai Chenghong noticed Song Ruozhen's actions and was astonished. He asked anxiously, "She's here? You can see her?"

“That’s right,” Song Ruozhen did not deny.

Bai Chenghong's eyes instantly reddened. "Miss Song, I beg you, please let me meet her."

My biggest regret in this life is letting her down. For the sake of this dying man, please grant me this wish!

"Lord Bai, if your aunt doesn't want to see you, even if you get this incense, you still won't be able to see her."

When Young Master Bai lights this incense stick tonight, you may come along. If she wishes to see you, you will naturally be able to; but if she does not wish to, there is nothing that can be done.

Song Ruozhen glanced at Bai Chenghong and said, "Lord Bai, you are not a dying man. Some things are not fate, but man-made disasters."

Lu Wenxiu's eyes changed slightly, and she felt inexplicably flustered. Just who was this Song Ruozhen?

Why does she know everything about the Bai family?

"Your Highness, I have said everything I needed to say today."

Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Junting. She had come today specifically for the courtyard, and now she had answered all of Bai Zimu's questions. As for the others, they couldn't be resolved today.

Chu Junting nodded, "In that case, we'll be leaving now."

"I'll see you off."

Bai Zimu escorted Chu Junting and the other person to the gate before finally asking, "Miss Song, is it true that there was something wrong with what you said earlier about Granny Xu's death?"

“Young Master Bai, since Granny Xu treated you very well when she was alive, you might as well investigate her thoroughly.”

"I understand." Bai Zimu said earnestly, "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that Granny Xu does not die in vain!"

"I have one more thing to say to you."

Song Ruozhen's gaze sharpened, "Someone wants you dead."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zimu's heart skipped a beat, as if he instantly understood something. "Miss Bai, you mean..."

"Granny Xu, it's to protect you from disaster."

Just one sentence sent a chill down Bai Zimu's spine. His handsome face was now filled with shock and horror, and his hands clenched into fists. "How dare they!"

"The tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind. You are too outstanding, and you are blocking their way."

Chu Junting's eyes darkened slightly. He had seen many people harm others for their own selfish reasons, especially in the imperial palace.

Many concubines hoped their sons would become successful, but if their own princes were not the most outstanding, they would try every means to eliminate the other outstanding princes.

The Bai family is the same.

"I will leave two guards to protect you. After tonight, you can stay at the Chu King's residence."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness!" Bai Zimu was extremely grateful.
