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

Chapter 929 Calculating Marriage Fate?

Song Ruozhen listened quietly to Princess Changping's words and realized that she was an extremely filial person.

Ultimately, the reason she wanted to commit suicide was because she felt she had become a burden on her family and dragged everyone down.

Even though the Sun family treated her very well, the death of her birth mother had a huge impact on her.

She didn't elaborate, but it's not hard to guess how difficult it must be for a woman who got pregnant out of wedlock to raise her child alone in this world.

She must have been met with a lot of disdain back then, and she was always uneasy. So even after arriving at the Sun family, she was still very careful, afraid that she might make a mistake.

It is precisely this kind of cautious girl, who does not want to make any mistakes in her life, who has encountered a scourge like Qi Junming, and has been brought to this point.

She couldn't accept it.

Unable to face the current situation and unwilling to let her family have sacrificed so much for her, she wanted to be free, but in reality, she wanted to free her family as well.

Qing Teng and Bai Zhi exchanged a glance, realizing that Princess Changping had also had a difficult time.

However, even though they could understand it in their hearts, they still felt that they really didn't want to take their own lives because of this.

It's just a ruined marriage. Although news travels fast in the capital, people also have short memories. Before long, this matter will be forgotten and won't be a big deal.

“Princess Changping, you always seem to see yourself as a burden. Let me ask you a question instead,” Song Ruozhen said.

Changping nodded. "Please speak, Your Highness."

"If your father is falsely accused and not only dismissed from his post but also exiled, as a princess, would you choose to be exiled to another city with them, or would you sever ties with them and continue to be the carefree Princess of Changping?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Changping replied without hesitation, "Of course I want to stay with my parents."

"Then let me ask you one more question: if your mother were seriously ill and you needed all your money to save her, would you be willing?"

"I do." Princess Changping nodded, but after saying all this, she still felt a little puzzled.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by asking me these questions?"

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Actually, you have already made your attitude clear in these questions. You would rather lose everything materially than not be with them."

Because you treat them like real family.

"When you made all these choices, did you ever think that they would be a burden to you?"

Changping stared blankly at Song Ruozhen, seemingly gradually understanding the deeper meaning behind her question.

"You didn't realize it, and neither did they."

They're willing to make that choice for you because nothing else matters compared to losing you.

"They care about you, so they do everything they can to make you happy and have a good life."

How much pain would they feel if they knew that everything they had done had put immense pressure on you, leading you to choose to end your life?

Changping unconsciously clenched her hands, the image of her mother worrying about her flashing through her mind. If she had really lost her life just now, her parents would surely be in great pain when they found out.

"Your Highness, I understand."

She looked at Song Ruozhen with red eyes, but her gaze was no longer as confused as before; it was like the sky after the rain, exceptionally clear.

The next moment, she stood up and bowed deeply, "Your Highness, thank you for saving my life. I will never forget it!"

"I will never attempt suicide like this again. I was wrong before, but I've come to my senses now."

It's so late now, and I've slipped out of the manor all by myself. If my mother finds out I'm missing, she'll be very worried. I need to go back now.

I will visit you again tomorrow to express my gratitude.

However, when she turned around, she suddenly realized that Lord Sun, Madam Sun, and her two younger brothers were all behind her.

"Father, Mother, all of you... why are you all here?"

Princess Changping stared at them blankly, a deep look of astonishment flashing in her eyes. She subconsciously looked down at her disheveled appearance, unaware of how much of their previous conversation had been overheard.

Madam Sun strode forward and said, "You silly girl, how could you be so foolish as to do such a thing?"

"Sister, you really worried us to death! Mother immediately called us out to look for you after she found out you were missing."

"We've searched the entire area along the way. If we still can't find you, we really don't know what to do," Sun Qian said.

Changping's eyes were red as she looked at her family, who looked travel-worn and exhausted. They had obviously come out to look for her after realizing she wasn't at home, and she couldn't help but feel moved.

"I'm sorry, I was so inconsiderate and made you worry."

Changping was wearing an outer garment, and there was a brazier next to her, but her clothes were still damp.

The Sun family members exchanged glances, all knowing exactly what had happened, but none of them revealed it.

This girl was really devastated; she even committed suicide.

If it weren't for the Crown Princess saving her, they would probably only see her corpse by now.

"Princess Consort, thank you so much. I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

"If it weren't for you, Changping would still be suffering at Qi Junming's hands, especially today. You reminded me to be careful, but I still failed to keep an eye on Changping."

"Madam Sun, there's no need to be so polite. As long as Princess Changping is alright, that's all that matters."

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly and stood up. "The princess has already figured it out. You should all go back first and have a bowl of ginger soup to avoid catching a cold."

"Thank you, Princess."

The Sun family was extremely grateful. They hadn't expected the Crown Princess to be so patient; she had saved Changping yesterday and saved her again today.

Looking at Song Ruozhen before her, Madam Sun thought for a moment and said, "Crown Princess, I know you are proficient in metaphysics. I have something I would like to ask you."

“Please speak, Madam Sun,” Song Ruozhen said.

"I would like to ask you to calculate my family's marriage prospects."

Madam Sun's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She knew that this was not the time to talk about this matter, but seeing Changping in such distress, she still wanted to do the divination.

Changping was already quite old and it was time for her to get married, but now so many things had happened, and she really didn't want Changping's future marriage to be bumpy.

If the Chu princess's final calculation is indeed as she predicted, it would be better to let it go.

Even if she never marries, as a princess, no one can force her to marry, and she will always live a good life.

Song Ruozhen glanced at Princess Changping, asked for her birth date and time, and then began to calculate.

“Mother, there’s no need to calculate these things,” Changping couldn’t help but say.

She has absolutely no intention of getting married right now, and it's likely she'll never have any romantic prospects in this lifetime.

However, Song Ruozhen's expression showed a hint of surprise.
