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

Chapter 326: One person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven

"I've always heard of your brilliance, Your Majesty. I never imagined we'd become brothers. There's no time like the present. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, how about I treat you to dinner?"

Chu Junting glanced at Chu Jinhuai and Wu Miaoxuan beside him and said, "Since you have an appointment and need to treat your aunt's illness, important matters cannot be delayed. Let's reschedule for another day."

However, Chu Jinhuai did not intend to give up, and said with a smile: "It's alright, Miss Wu is just introducing me to the divine doctor. I will have a servant send the doctor to my residence later."

Song Ruozhen and Yun Nianchu naturally understood that by introducing the divine physician, they could simply take the person directly to the Prince of Xiang's residence.

Wu Miaoxuan did not do that, undoubtedly just to use this as a pretext to meet Chu Jinhuai.

“Miss Song, I actually think my mother’s recent nightmares are a bit strange. I’ve also heard that you are skilled in metaphysics, so I would like to ask you for advice.”

I wasn't sure at first, and I was worried that going to their house would be too much trouble, but since I bumped into them today, I thought I'd ask.

Chu Jinhuai revealed the real reason.

Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen suddenly realized, "It seems that she wasn't here when I last saw the Princess Consort of Xiang. Did this happen suddenly recently?"

Chu Jinhuai nodded, glanced around, and said, "There are too many people here, let's go to a private room to talk, shall we?"

Song Ruozhen unconsciously looked at Chu Junting, only to see that the man had a cold face, his tongue pressed against his cheek, and his handsome face had lost the carefree and gentle look he had when he was with her, showing impatience and... displeasure.

Chu Junting looked at his clueless cousin and found him truly unlikable.

"Your Highness, the young master is just worried about his family. Why don't we have dinner together?"

Song Ruozhen quietly reached out and tugged at Chu Junting's sleeve, blinking her bright, watery eyes, her voice tinged with a coquettish tone.

Chu Junting looked helplessly at the girl beside him, then glanced at Chu Jinhuai with disdain, "It's not that it's impossible, but has the girl next to you forgotten something?"

Chu Jinhuai looked at Wu Miaoxuan with a puzzled expression and asked, "What have you forgotten?"

Wu Miaoxuan was startled and realized that she couldn't get through this without apologizing. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It was all my fault just now. I apologize and ask Miss Yun to forgive me."

Yun Nianchu's eyes widened, feeling flattered and overwhelmed, and she couldn't help but grab Song Ruozhen's hand.

Good heavens, wouldn't this be considered a case of one person attaining enlightenment and all their relatives and friends benefiting from it?

The King of Chu actually helped her get justice!

This is something I never even dared to dream of!

Song Ruozhen only felt that Yun Nianchu's gaze towards her suddenly changed, and roughly guessed what she was thinking. She winked, and Yun Nianchu finally came to her senses:

"Alright, I'll let it go this time. I accept your apology, but I hope Miss Wu will be more reasonable in the future."

Wu Miaoxuan looked embarrassed and subconsciously glanced at Chu Junting. She had already apologized, so they should be able to have dinner together now, right?

Chu Junting: "Get lost."

Wu Miaoxuan: "???"

Song Ruozhen: "..."

Yun Nianchu: "!!!"

Wu Miaoxuan was so angry at Chu Junting's cold face that she almost cried, but she didn't dare to say a word. She could only turn to Chu Jinhuai for help, "Young Master..."

Chu Jinhuai knew that the two sides had just had a disagreement, and his face turned cold. "Then you might as well take the divine doctor to see my mother first. I'll have someone prepare some food for you at the manor."

After saying that, Chu Jinhuai smiled and looked at Song Ruozhen, "Shall we go in?"

Song Ruozhen told Chu Junting and Chu Jinhuai to go first, and was about to speak with Yun Nianchu when Yun Chengze arrived.

Yun Chengze was momentarily surprised to see Song Ruozhen, but quickly understood. "Nianchu, did you come to talk to Miss Song about your aunt's nightmare?"

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback, and unconsciously looked at Yun Nianchu, "Auntie also had a nightmare?"

Yun Nianchu nodded. "Recently, my father has been coming to see my mother, and my maternal grandfather and uncles have also been putting pressure on her, hoping that she can change her mind."

My mother was unwilling to change her mind, so things got very tense. That Miss Yun was a troublemaker who would make sarcastic remarks from time to time, hoping that my mother would not go back so that she could become Madam Yun.

At first, my mother was just exhausted, but then she suddenly started having nightmares. She saw a doctor, who said that she was worrying too much and had emotional distress, and prescribed some calming medicine.

My cousin and I met here today to try and come up with a solution to this problem.

However, Yun Chengze said, "Miss Song, I feel that my aunt's condition is not so simple. I'm afraid it's the work of evil spirits."

"Why do you say that, Young Master Yun?"

"Although my aunt has been seen as a very patient person in many people's eyes over the years, I know that she is not someone who is easily defeated."

She had even arranged her accommodation before leaving the Yun family, which was all planned in advance, and the Zhang family's attitude was also entirely within her expectations.

While what's happening now is disheartening, it won't haunt me, keep me up all night, or leave me feeling dazed during the day.

Yun Chengze frowned. "I've thought about it carefully. On the day my aunt started having nightmares, Yun Xiaoniang came by, but when I asked the servants, they said that everything Yun Xiaoniang brought that day was thrown out by my aunt..."

"When my eldest brother got married, I did notice that my aunt looked much more haggard. I thought it was because of the burden of family matters."

If it really is the work of evil spirits, then we really need to investigate it thoroughly…

Song Ruozhen frowned slightly. When the Liu family came to cause trouble that day, she saw Zhang Wen and Madam Dong stand up to protect her mother. At that time, she only felt that Zhang Wen looked thinner and more haggard than before.

Looking at his forehead, there seemed to be nothing wrong, but Yun Chengze felt it wasn't a mental illness; she still needed to investigate further.

Just as the three were talking, Chu Junting knocked on the railing, "Since we've bumped into each other and are both having nightmares, let's have dinner together."

The three unconsciously turned their gazes and saw Chu Junting standing on the second-floor railing.

"Your Highness is right. Why don't we go inside and talk? It just so happens that the young prince is here as well. The Princess Consort of Xiang has also been having nightmares lately and is becoming increasingly haggard. I wonder if there's any connection?"

As the leader of the Xuanmen sect, Song Ruozhen had witnessed too many nightmares, most of which stemmed from unresolved inner demons.

However, since both of them had nightmares, it felt somewhat coincidental that they ended up together.

Yun Chengze and Yun Nianchu exchanged a glance and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Chu Jinhuai ordered all of Tianyunlou's signature dishes and couldn't help but come out to look for someone, only to find Yun Nianchu and Yun Chengze had also arrived.

"Oh, another guest! It's fate that we bumped into each other. Please come in."

"Greetings, Young Master," Yun Chengze said, bowing.

Chu Jinhuai recognized Yun Chengze. "I know you. You came in second place in the imperial examination and were highly praised in the capital."

I heard you were attacked and injured during the imperial examination. Thankfully, it didn't affect your performance, otherwise it would have been a real shame. Are you fully recovered now?

Yun Chengze was surprised, "I didn't expect that the young prince would also know about this matter. I am flattered."
