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

Chapter 885 Casting Spells

Not long after, the woman was brought back.

There was a woman who looked to be about thirty years old. Her face was as pale as paper, and she looked extremely weak. Her frail figure seemed as if she would fall over if the wind blew her down.

Gu Huan'er originally disliked this woman, but after seeing the woman's condition, her heart skipped a beat.

"Your Highness, how could she do this?"

Gu Huan'er nudged Chu Yungui with her elbow and asked in a low voice.

Chu Yungui was not surprised at all and immediately explained the exact situation.

"This woman's body was already at its limit, and she couldn't give birth to her child. I really don't know where they found such a person."

However, I think this woman didn't mean it; if anyone's to blame, it's the Liang Prince's Mansion.

After hearing all this, Gu Huan'er finally understood, and her gaze towards the woman softened.

Ordinary people are also pitiful. They have no chance to resist in front of high-ranking officials and nobles. In the end, the shameless ones are King Liang and Master Xuanyang!

Upon seeing Gu Huan'er, the woman knelt down in fear.

Her body was thin and frail, almost skin and bones, which made her protruding belly particularly noticeable.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I really have no choice. This is not what I wanted to do. Please, please let me go!"

At this moment, Yunyang came out and said:

"Your Highness, I have already inquired and found out that this woman was brought out by her husband."

Her health was already weak, and she frequently needed to see a doctor and take medicine. Her husband sold her for one hundred taels of silver, and she had no chance to resist.

Where is her man?

“My subordinates arrested him. He’s outside. He’s been staying with the woman all this time.”

"As long as he takes good care of the woman, he'll get three hundred taels of silver after it's all done."

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen and the others showed disgust in their eyes. They were truly willing to sell even their wives and children for money!

Extremely shameless!

"How can there be such a person? They really don't value other people's lives!"

Gu Huan'er was furious. She had initially thought the woman was despicable, but now she felt sorry for her.

She was already in poor health, and if she hadn't gotten pregnant, she could at least have saved her life. But the child she desperately conceived became a tool for her husband to make money, which is truly heartbreaking.

The woman kowtowed in fear, blood seeping from her forehead.

She clutched her stomach, her eyes filled with worry. "My child is innocent. I really didn't mean to hurt you."

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen and the others fell silent. It seemed that this woman had no idea what was going on. She didn't know that the child she was carrying was already stillborn, and all she could think about was saving her child.

"Cousin, this..."

Gu Huan'er hesitated, feeling that if this woman knew the truth, she would be devastated.

"The most important thing right now is to get the child back. She is indeed a pitiful person, but the reason she ended up like this is not our fault."

Her husband and the people of the Liang Prince's mansion were the real culprits.

Chu Junting immediately ordered all the irrelevant people in the courtyard to leave, and arranged for guards to stand guard outside, not allowing anyone to disturb them.

Song Ruozhen made hand seals, and two talismans slowly appeared. Then, the two talismans were respectively cast into Gu Huan'er and the woman.

The moment the talisman was applied to them, their bodies stiffened instantly, as if they were being thrown out of control.

Gradually, the two suddenly realized the connection between themselves and each other had faded.

In Song Ruozhen's eyes, she could clearly see that the two of them were connected by talismans, and the switched children were returning to their original positions.

The child in Gu Huan'er's womb had had its soul and three spirits replaced, and now, as it gradually returns to its original state, it is slowly regaining its vitality.

In contrast, the woman's child was stillborn.

Previously, it was only because it had one soul and three spirits that it continued to grow. Now that this part has been taken away, it naturally has no aura left.

Chu Junting and Chu Yungui watched this scene quietly, their gazes constantly sweeping between the three of them. However, since they didn't have the ability to see ghosts, they naturally couldn't see anything.

Chu Yungui's palms were sweating nervously. Although he had great faith in his sister-in-law's abilities, his heart was still pounding.

This is his child's life.

If it fails, the consequences are something I really don't want to even think about.

Chu Junting looked at the fine beads of sweat on his wife's forehead and her pale face, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

This technique is definitely not simple. Today, we spent a lot of effort just dealing with Master Xuanyang, and now we have to use this technique.

"Yunyang, tell the kitchen staff to make some ginseng soup for the princess later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yunyang quickly responded.

A moment later, Song Ruozhen finished the spell. Looking at the vibrant child in Gu Huan'er's womb, a smile appeared on her face.

"never mind."

Gu Huan'er had actually noticed the changes in the baby in her womb. She had always felt that something was wrong, but just now, she suddenly realized that it was right.

This is an indescribable feeling, an discomfort I've never experienced since becoming pregnant.

She touched her belly, and realized... this was truly her child!

"Huan'er, how are you feeling?" Chu Yungui asked hurriedly.

Gu Huan'er smiled, her expression revealing an indescribable excitement. "I feel much better. Actually, ever since I got pregnant, I've had an inexplicable feeling of fatigue."

I didn't tell you so you wouldn't worry, but now I feel so much lighter, and that fatigue has suddenly disappeared.

She simply didn't know how to describe her current feelings; after learning the truth during the day, she felt almost unbearably upset.

A series of thoughts kept surfacing in her mind, and she felt that God was being unfair and why He was treating her this way.

I never expected that everything would be so much better in just a few hours. It felt like a dream, and I was incredibly happy.

Chu Junting then helped Song Ruozhen to sit down, and brought her the ginseng soup, saying:

"You've worked too hard today, have some ginseng soup to nourish yourself."

After Song Ruozhen sat down, she looked at the ginseng soup in front of her and smiled, "Thank you, you're so kind."

Chu Junting said with concern, "You need to rest well at home for the next two days."

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Song Ruozhen nodded obediently.

"I suddenly feel hungry. Cousins, have you had dinner yet?"

Gu Huan'er hadn't eaten anything all day since learning the truth, and had no appetite at all. Now that she finally felt relieved, she suddenly had an appetite again.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "Yes, we're hungry too. You must cook lots of good food to treat us."

"Yes, sir!" Chu Yungui nodded hurriedly and instructed his servants, "Quickly, tell the kitchen to prepare more delicious food!"
