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

Chapter 973 I am your elder!

"Zhaoyuan, you don't need to worry about us. We're just pregnant, there's nothing wrong with us."

Look how nervous you are, I'm nervous just like you.

Gu Huan'er watched Gu Zhaoyuan showing concern for both her and her cousin, worrying about them getting bumped into and feeling uncomfortable along the way, which made her chuckle.

Gu Zhaoyuan was indeed very worried, after all, both of them were pregnant, and if they bumped or fell and got uncomfortable, the consequences would be terrible.

However, being directly pointed out by Gu Huan'er made him somewhat embarrassed:

"I'm inexperienced too, aren't I? You two are so precious, I'm a little worried."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Zhaoyuan, don't worry, we'll be fine, and besides, we have so many people to take care of us."

However, just as they were talking, someone suddenly bumped into Gu Zhaoyuan and even Gu Huan'er almost fell over.

Song Ruozhen quickly grabbed Gu Huan'er's arm, "Huan'er, are you alright?"

Gu Huan'er was taken aback by this sudden turn of events and quickly patted her chest, saying:

"Thank goodness you pulled me up, otherwise I really would have fallen."

For pregnant women, the worst thing to do is to fall. A slight mishap could affect the fetus or even cause a miscarriage.

Bai Zhi and Qing Teng quickly helped Gu Zhaoyuan up. Song Ruozhen brushed the dust off her clothes and frowned when she saw the scrapes on her hands.

"Zhaoyuan, are you injured anywhere else?"

Gu Zhaoyuan shook her head, but her face was very ugly. She had come out happily, but she did not expect to run into such a blind person. Her hand was scratched and her knee was a little sore, obviously from a scrape.

"What's wrong with you? There are so many of us standing here, can't you see us?"

Gu Huan'er looked at the woman who had hit them, her face ashen. Since getting married and experiencing so many things, she was no longer as naive as before.

Now that she is the Princess Consort of Yun, she is being inexplicably offended. Who knows if someone is deliberately targeting them?

Who knows... they might want to harm her child.

"I... I just saw you here and wanted to say hello, but I tripped and bumped into you. It wasn't on purpose."

The woman showed no remorse whatsoever; on the contrary, her face was beaming with joy as she said with a smile:

"To be honest, I am your elder, and you shouldn't treat me like this."

Upon hearing this, Gu Huan'er and the others exchanged glances, looking at the woman in front of them who wasn't much older than them, with strange expressions.

"Cousin, have we run into a madman?"

"At her age, she dares to call herself our elder? That's just ridiculous!"

Gu Huan'er's lips twitched. She had seen girls pretend to be young before, but this was the first time she had ever seen a young girl pretend to be an elder.

Besides, this person's clothes aren't exactly top-notch. Why would he suddenly come to claim them as relatives? Is he trying to scam us?

Gu Zhaoyuan looked displeased and said to the maid behind the woman, "Your young lady is not thinking straight. You should take her back as soon as possible, so she doesn't hurt people indiscriminately outside."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Gu Zhaoyuan's accusing look, the woman felt displeased. "I already said it wasn't intentional, and besides, I am your elder."

"It's not like you're the only ones who are pregnant. I'm pregnant too. I wouldn't intentionally harm you without considering the safety of my own child, would I?"

Song Ruozhen had found it strange when she heard the woman acting as an elder, and now that she heard she was pregnant, her expression became inscrutable.

"Are you Gu Qingzhe's mistress?" Song Ruozhen suddenly asked.

Gu Huan'er and Gu Zhaoyuan only felt that the woman in front of them was a bit off, but they couldn't tell that she was pregnant.

However, upon suddenly hearing Song Ruozhen's words, the two of them widened their eyes instantly, looking at Song Ruozhen in disbelief, "Really?"

"What do you mean by 'concubine'? I am now Sanlang's wife!"

Zhu Niantao was initially very happy, but when she suddenly heard Song Ruozhen say that she was a mistress, she became excited as if her tail had been stepped on.

Gu Huan'er and Gu Zhaoyuan's hearts skipped a beat, and their dislike for their third uncle grew even stronger.

"I was worried that my third uncle would not have a good life after leaving the family, but I didn't expect him to be so clever and find such a young mistress."

"If she were to marry into the family, it would be really hard for us to say 'Third Aunt' to her."

Gu Zhaoyuan took a deep breath, wondering if her mother had ever met this "Third Aunt". She used to think that her Third Uncle was useless, but now she felt that he had no sense of propriety.

I'm afraid he's been out there indulging in pleasure all this time, and only thought of coming back after he's spent all his money.

"Did you and Gu Qingzhe get married? Did he go through all the proper betrothal and wedding rites to bring you home?"

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. Although Gu Qingzhe said he had a child, he had never mentioned marriage.

In other words, this woman is now just a mistress.

Zhu Niantao choked and explained, "Sanlang said he would definitely marry me. The reason we haven't held the wedding yet is because he has some disagreements with his parents."

Once he resolves this matter, he will naturally marry me properly!

"In the end, you two aren't married, but you already have a child, right?"

Song Ruozhen didn't listen to these fallacies. If she were a girl from a respectable family, even if she had no money, she could still get married simply and have a marriage certificate.

But now they have nothing between them, yet they've gotten together. In ancient times, this would be called a clandestine union without a matchmaker.

Even if you come up with the best reason, it's just a pretext.

Zhu Niantao opened her mouth, but for a moment she couldn't think of a rebuttal. Frustrated, she said:

"Why do you speak so rudely, junior?"

I know that Sanlang is in a difficult situation right now, and I feel sorry for his hardships, so I didn't ask anything of him.

I'm used to a life of hardship, unlike you pampered young ladies. All I need is to be with Sanlang; I don't ask for anything else!

Zhu Niantao looked indignant, as if Song Ruozhen reeked of money, which made her seem genuine and exceptionally noble.

She was well aware of Song Ruozhen's identity. As the spendthrift daughter of the Song family, she had given away so much money to Lin Zhiyue before even getting married, and was not valued by her husband.

She really couldn't understand how someone like that could be so lucky, not only born into a wealthy family, but now able to become the Crown Princess!

It's just that she's unlucky. If she had been born into a wealthy family, she would definitely have lived the best life!

Gu Huan'er looked disgusted. "Where's the niceness in your voice? You should read more books. Getting married and exchanging betrothal gifts is a normal procedure for most families."

"If you don't ask for anything, why are you acting like an elder in front of us?"
