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

Chapter 964 Weakness

Looking at Xia Zhilan and Xiao Wenyuan's actions, and then at the astonished gazes of the surrounding people, Song Ruozhen's eyes flashed with surprise.

Sure enough, once the "love-obsessed" mentality is cured, the person immediately becomes smarter.

Xia Zhilan was grateful for their kindness and wanted to do something for them.

"His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are truly kind-hearted. If it weren't for them, the second branch of the Xiao family would have collapsed."

"The Xiao family really doesn't do things carefully. They searched for so long but couldn't find them. Fortunately, the Crown Princess brought them back."

Chu Junting already enjoyed excellent prestige among the people, and there was little opposition after he was made crown prince.

Everything he does now has become a testament to his achievements.

"Please come in quickly," Xia Zhilan said warmly.

These past few days, she has been staying at home saying she needs to recuperate, and she doesn't want to see her unfaithful husband or Lu Fei, let alone Old Madam Xiao.

He simply said he wasn't feeling well, didn't want to see anyone, and just wanted to rest, and sent them all away.

In the past, she would never have dared to do such a thing.

Because Xiao Wenche always told her to be dignified and to consider the family's well-being, and that it wasn't easy for Old Madam Xiao to raise him, so as a daughter-in-law, she should be filial to her elders.

She regarded everything Xiao Wenche said as gospel truth, and listened to everything he said.

Even though she often felt wronged by the difficulties caused by Madam Xiao, she endured it all because she thought about how good her husband was to her.

Now that she knows it was all just a trick by the mother and son, that all their concern was hypocritical, and that everything was just for their own benefit, she finally understands.

She doesn't need to compromise herself for these people. From now on, she will only live for herself, and no one can tell her what to do!

As Madam Xiao watched Xia Zhilan push Xiao Wenyuan to greet the Crown Prince and Crown Princess into the mansion, passing right past her, a look of deep astonishment flashed in her eyes.

Has Xia Zhilan lost her mind?

He's always been very proper in front of her, always putting himself first. How dare he overstep his bounds today?

"Mother-in-law, look at her! She's starting to act all high and mighty now that she has the royal family backing her up. She doesn't even respect you anymore!"

Lu Fei seized the opportunity and quickly began to sow discord. She felt that Xia Zhilan's attitude had changed a lot in the past few days, and that she was vaguely getting out of control.

No matter what, she had to make the old lady despise Xia Zhilan enough!

Madam Xiao's expression was not good, but considering that Xia Zhilan was already injured and had brought the eldest son back, which was a meritorious deed, she held back.

"Never mind, she must have been so happy to see her husband come back alive that she got carried away and forgot about it."

We didn't handle things well the other day either, so let's just let her have her way this time.

Lu Fei was shocked that the old lady would say such a thing. Her heart sank and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Wenche.

Xiao Wenyuan is back. Although he has lost his memory, they are not in immediate danger, but this is still a ticking time bomb. Who knows when he will suddenly remember?

Once he remembers all of this, everything will be turned upside down, and they will all be finished!

Xiao Wenche could only shake his head. He knew he couldn't act rashly at the moment; everything needed to be considered carefully.

After returning to Xia Zhilan and Xiao Wenche's courtyard, Song Ruozhen looked at her slightly pale face and said:

“When I took your pulse last time, I found that your body was severely depleted. This must be the reason why you haven’t been able to conceive for so many years.”

Xia Zhilan nodded, her expression revealing confusion and helplessness.

"Before I got married, I was always in good health, but later, for some reason, my health became weaker and weaker."

I catch a cold easily from a breeze, and I get breathless and break out in a cold sweat after walking a short distance. I've seen a doctor and been taking care of myself, but I still don't get better.

"Since giving birth to Chuxue, my body has become extremely weak. The doctor also predicted that my body would never be able to have children again."

Xia Zhilan felt a pang of sorrow. She did have enough money to live a comfortable life, but what good was that?

With her body like that, she was afraid she wouldn't live much longer and wouldn't be able to take good care of Chuxue in the future.

Xiao Wenyuan also heard Xia Zhilan's words. In fact, he had always felt that his sister-in-law was too naive and blindly followed the arrangements of her mother and second brother.

They are capable of making many decisions on their own, yet they lack any independent judgment.

He was initially apprehensive about this collaboration; if possible, he would prefer to act alone to avoid any possibility of exposure.

However, since he wanted to use Xiao Wenche's identity to do things, he would inevitably have to spend time with Xia Zhilan.

He couldn't bring himself to say that he was the eldest brother, yet he had lied to Xia Zhilan, claiming to be her husband.

He never expected that Xia Zhilan would be the first to approach him, and before he could even speak, Xia Zhilan had already guessed what he wanted to do...

"Your body wasn't really sick, just a bit weak, and you need to take good care of yourself."

Logically speaking, after ten days to half a month of treatment, there shouldn't be any problems. But you've been treating yourself for so long, and your health hasn't improved. Haven't you considered that there might be something wrong?

Song Ruozhen looked at Xia Zhilan. A few days ago, when she realized that Xia Zhilan had almost lost her life, she was only concerned with saving her life.

After carefully examining her pulse today, she realized that this weakness was not due to her body being inherently weak, but rather to human intervention!

Xia Zhilan was taken aback at first, then her eyes flashed with deep astonishment and shock.

"Your Highness, are you saying that the reason I've become like this is because someone poisoned me?"

If it's not that my health is truly poor, then there's only one possibility!

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Actually, it can't be called poisoning, but I just looked at the prescription you've been taking."

This is a good prescription, there's nothing wrong with it. Logically speaking, if you take this prescription every day, your body should have recovered long ago.

But instead of getting better, your condition is getting worse. This is probably because the dosage of one of the medicinal ingredients was increased, causing the originally mild medicinal properties to become cold.

Your body is already cold, and taking this mild medicine every day will naturally make you feel worse day by day.

Xia Zhilan's heart sank instantly, and she immediately said, "Was it Xiao Wenche who harmed me?"

"I went to great lengths to prepare my body for him to have a child, and he still tried to poison me."

If my body hadn't been so weak, Chuxue wouldn't have been sickly from birth and practically grew up in a medicine vat.

Is he even human? How could he be so cruel to my daughter and me?

Xia Zhilan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She thought that what had happened before had made her realize Xiao Wenche's shamelessness, but the truth she learned today made her feel that this person had no heart at all!

What a depraved and shameless scoundrel!
