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

Chapter 943 Laughter 1

"No wonder."

Song Ruozhen understood that Chu Junting cared so much about her because he had specially rushed into the palace for her sake, and she felt even happier.

"However, the Prince of Liang is already in a precarious situation, and Qi Qingyi has no grudge against her. Why would she go to the palace to murder Consort Duan?"

Chu Junting frowned; anyone who heard about this would find it baffling.

He knew that Qi Qingyi must have a reason for doing this, but he couldn't figure out what that reason was for the time being.

"Could it be that Consort Duan knows some of her secrets?" Chu Junting pondered.

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "Qi Qingyi probably thinks that Consort Duan is already a living dead person, so she speaks without any restraint in front of her. Unexpectedly, Consort Duan's condition suddenly improved today, and she happened to hear it."

Left with no other choice, she resorted to murder. If she had intended to kill someone, she wouldn't have made it so obvious.

Given the situation today, anyone with eyes could see that it wasn't a premeditated murder. Otherwise, if someone wanted to kill the ailing Consort Duan, there would have been many ways to do so silently and without arousing suspicion.

Chu Junting recalled the fruit peels he had seen on the ground in Consort Duan's palace earlier that day, and they did indeed seem to be the case.

"So, in that case, it can only be considered that Qi Qingyi was unlucky?"

Song Ruozhen shook her head. "Qi Qingyi was not innocent to begin with. The child in her belly is not Liang Wang's at all. I'm afraid Consort Duan found out about this."

If it were anything else, at most she would only be scolded by Consort Duan, and she could take the opportunity to say that her pregnancy was a blessing, which made Consort Duan's health improve.

Because if the news got out that the child wasn't Prince Liang, she and her unborn child would surely die, so she had no choice but to risk killing Consort Duan.

Listening to his wife's analysis, Chu Junting found it reasonable and logical. "Are you sure the child in her belly isn't Prince Liang's?"

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "Think about it...did Qi Qingyi get pregnant with the Prince of Liang's child in her past life?"

"No." Chu Junting clearly remembered that Qi Qingyi was not pregnant in his previous life, and that after the Liang King ascended the throne, the Empress was not Qi Qingyi.

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows and said, "That's right. Prince Liang doesn't like Qi Qingyi at all, not to mention that he's had so many things to deal with recently, he probably has even less interest in her."

"Intending to confuse the royal bloodline is a grave crime."

Chu Junting's eyes darkened slightly. He knew that Qi Qingyi was a despicable woman, but he didn't expect her to be so audacious as to do such a thing.

"The things the Qi family has done now are probably enough to warrant the confiscation of their property, right?"

Song Ruozhen pondered before speaking. First, her three sons had an accident, which caused a stir and drew the ire of many people. She had heard that the Qi family was trying to suppress these voices in the past two days.

Now, one wave subsides only for another to rise. Qi Qingyi has committed a serious crime that will inevitably implicate the entire Qi family.

"Once it's confirmed that the royal bloodline has been confused, the Qi family is completely finished."

Chu Junting's eyes were serious. They had brought this upon themselves, and this was the path the Qi family had chosen, so they deserved their fate.

"It's not advisable to make this matter of bloodline public for now. I will inform my father, and he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly," Chu Junting said.

Song Ruozhen took out a pen and paper from the side and wrote down a name.

"This is?"

"The adulterer's name is Qi Qingyi's cousin."

Song Ruozhen had already foreseen this, since Qi Qingyi's sudden pregnancy was suspicious, and with her cultivation, she could easily tell that it wasn't the Prince of Liang's child.

Originally, she planned to bring up this matter again at a suitable opportunity, but unexpectedly, Qi Qingyi walked into a dead end herself.

Chu Junting put away the note. "There will be a result soon."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps. Turning around, they saw Gu Ruyan and the others had arrived.

"Zhen'er!"

Gu Ruyan smiled broadly, "I rushed over as soon as I heard you were pregnant. I heard the imperial physician has already confirmed it?"

Song Ruozhen smiled and nodded, "Mother, soon you'll be able to hold your grandson, can you finally rest assured now?"

Thinking back on this period of time, my mother has mentioned this matter more than once, hoping that she could get pregnant soon, and now she is finally pregnant.

"Yes, yes, now Mother can finally rest assured."

Gu Ruyan nodded happily. She felt that her daughter was good in every way, and her husband was also good. Now, as long as she had another child, she could be completely at ease.

Song Lin was also overjoyed, but as a father, he was reserved and didn't have as many things to say as Gu Ruyan. He simply said to Chu Junting:

"Your Highness, Ruozhen is pregnant. You will have to take better care of her in the future."

"Father-in-law, rest assured, I will take good care of Zhen'er and never let her suffer any injustice," Chu Junting said.

Song Yanzhou glanced at Chu Junting and couldn't help but laugh: "Father, don't worry. His Highness the Crown Prince is probably even more nervous than we are. We all know how good he is to Fifth Sister."

Now that my fifth sister is pregnant, it's even more unbelievable.

Back on the battlefield, he had seen Chu Junting's decisive and ruthless manner. Everyone said he was cold-hearted, unattached, and unwilling to get married.

Many people felt that given Chu Junting's personality, even if he did get married in the future, his feelings for his wife would likely be distant.

Now that he sees his younger sister marrying the Crown Prince, he realizes that everyone who said that before was wrong.

He is not emotionally detached at all.

Such a person is fine if they don't get married, but once they do, they are much more sentimental than others.

After listening to Song Yanzhou's words, Song Lin felt that it was indeed true, and he was satisfied with his son-in-law in every way.

If Zhen is pregnant, he probably won't make her suffer.

"There was no news before, but I heard that the imperial physician found out after she entered the palace today?" Song Yi'an asked with a smile. "I wonder if it's my nephew or niece. I'm looking forward to it."

Thinking that his wife was pregnant with three children, Chu Junting said, "Maybe all of them?"

"You have them all?"

Song Yi'an was slightly taken aback, and for a moment she did not understand what he meant.

Gu Ruyan smiled and said, "Zhen'er is only a month pregnant, so the gender cannot be determined yet. However, the doctor should be able to determine it in a while."

Song Ruozhen knew that her mother thought Chu Junting had misspoke, and probably didn't know that she was pregnant with her third child, so she said:

"It is indeed possible to have both a son and a daughter."

If everyone hadn't understood what Chu Junting had said earlier, then hearing Song Ruozhen's words now made them realize the problem, even if they were slow to react.

"Zhen'er, are you carrying twins?"

Gu Ruyan was somewhat expectant. She had previously heard that Qi Qingyi was pregnant with twins and felt a little envious, thinking that it would be great if Zhen'er could also have such good fortune. Now... could this really be true?

Song Ruozhen shook her head, exchanged a glance with Chu Junting, and both of them smiled.
