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

Chapter 923 A Turning Point

Upon hearing the news, Song Ruozhen's dark eyes showed a hint of surprise, as she hadn't expected that this marriage would cause such a stir.

"Qi Yue Dynasty, Wu Jingshuo."

Song Ruozhen muttered to herself, "I've seen what kind of person this guy is before."

If Mu Yao marries him, she definitely won't have a good life. That guy is naturally a fickle and fickle person, the kind who falls in love with every woman he sees.

The love was real, and so was its brevity.

All the women were just fleeting interests to him; once the novelty wore off, he would leave them in the backyard and not even bother to look at them.

"Is it confirmed that Wu Jingshuo is the one being married off?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Chu Muyao was taken aback by Song Ruozhen's sudden question, and then shook her head, saying:

"I don't know either. I only heard about the marriage alliance, and I didn't care who the person I was to marry was."

At this point, Chu Muyao pouted and cried, "No matter who the person I'm being married off to is, I don't want to marry him."

Song Ruozhen came to her senses, patted Chu Muyao on the back, and comforted her, "I know, I know you don't want to be married off."

Don't worry, we'll definitely find a way to get you to stay.

Chu Muyao looked at Song Ruozhen in astonishment, feeling both helpless and touched:

"Sister-in-law, I know that my current situation is impossible to change. The reason I cried is because I know that I am powerless to change it, so I feel very sad."

Jing Shen has been so good to me, I don't want to let him down at all. If he knew this, he would definitely be very upset.

"You don't need to comfort me. I understand in my heart that maybe I was born to have a hard life."

Chu Muyao's face was shrouded in deep sorrow; she had resigned herself to her fate.

If she were just an ordinary girl, perhaps she could elope, but she is a princess. She cannot let down her father and mother, nor can she escape the responsibilities that are rightfully hers.

Song Ruozhen had always treated Chu Muyao as a younger sister, thinking that she was young and carefree, and that with her status, she had almost no worries.

Hearing what she said now, I realized how sensible she was. After this happened, she didn't make a fuss or cause a scene. She had already anticipated this outcome and didn't intend to run away.

But she just realized, after some quick calculations, that there was still a chance for things to turn around.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those words to comfort Chu Muyao, since a hopeless suggestion would only cause more pain.

However, seeing Chu Muyao's attitude at this moment, she felt that it was better to wait until a turning point appeared before making any decisions.

After all, the turning point is not yet set, and they need to do something more.

My fourth brother has finally found someone he loves, and now he just hopes they can get married soon. My parents are also eagerly awaiting the imperial decree from the palace. If this news gets back, it will be a bolt from the blue.

She needed to come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise she couldn't even bear to imagine the scene if they were to actually go through with the marriage alliance.

"Sister-in-law, where were you originally planning to go?" Chu Muyao asked, recalling that her sister-in-law seemed to be about to leave when she arrived.

"I originally planned to go to the Dali Temple. You should have already heard about the Qi family, right?"

Princess Changping was also a pitiful person. She originally had a very good relationship with the eldest son of the Qi family, but due to Qi Junming's despicable means, they ended up like this, separated by death.

But there's no rush; we can go anytime.

Upon hearing this, Chu Muyao sighed helplessly, feeling as if they were both in the same boat, as if neither of them could be with the one they loved.

She was separated from him in life, while Changping was separated from him in death. Indeed, life is not always as carefree as it is in the stories.

There aren't that many happy endings; they're just their fantasies.

"Sister-in-law, you go ahead, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

Chu Muyao hadn't rested all night and was exhausted. Just staying in the palace made her feel sad when she saw her mother.

As a daughter, she knew that her mother was probably even more heartbroken than she was, and she had to force herself to comfort her. But as she spoke, her mother herself couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

Seeing her mother like this, she felt sad and decided to leave the palace. However, she didn't know how to face Song Jingshen, so she came to her sister-in-law's place after thinking it over.

After venting her frustrations, she felt a little drowsy.

Song Ruozhen nodded and lay down with her in the room. After she fell asleep, she instructed the kitchen to prepare some food.

"Judging from Mu Yao's appearance, I can tell that she probably hasn't eaten anything since yesterday."

She's already heartbroken; if she doesn't eat, her health will collapse. Have the kitchen prepare some more nourishing food for her to eat when she wakes up.

Song Ruozhen calculated the time, "When I get back, she might not be fully awake yet. She's in a bad mood right now, so I need to keep her company."

"Chenxiang, you stay in the manor. If anything happens, you can notify me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness," Chenxiang replied.

When Song Ruozhen was heading to Dali Temple, Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask:

"Your Highness, the Sixth Princess and the Fourth Prince have such a good relationship. If she were to be sent to marry a foreign ruler, the Fourth Prince would definitely not be able to accept it."

Qing Teng nodded in agreement; the news was like a bolt from the blue.

It would be such a pity if this wonderful match were to end because of this news.

"The Fourth Young Master is such a good person, so devoted and gentle. Ke Yuanzhi was blind to appreciate him before. Now that he and the Sixth Princess are finally in love, this kind of thing has happened. I'm afraid Ke Yuanzhi will have her hopes rekindled after hearing this."

Qing Teng pursed her lips. She had heard other maids mention it when the Crown Princess attended a banquet before.

Since her previous marriage was ruined, Ke Yuanzhi is now unwilling to marry into families of similar social standing unless it is a marriage downgrade.

But she had been spoiled over the years and was used to having the best of everything. She couldn't stand anything inferior and he wouldn't even look at anything that matched her status, let alone marry down.

Therefore, in order to save face, she always told the public that she was waiting for the Fourth Prince to regain his memory, and many people in the capital were waiting to watch the show.

Upon hearing Ke Yuanzhi's name, Song Ruozhen subconsciously frowned. "She still hasn't given up. She's really stubborn!"

It seems that if my fourth brother doesn't get married, she won't give up on this idea.

"Your Highness, I am truly curious, what is this turning point you mentioned?"

Bai Zhi felt that the marriage alliance was a dead end, impossible to resolve.

If there were even the slightest chance, Her Majesty the Empress would never have wanted the Sixth Princess to marry into that family, but right now it's obvious there's no chance.

"What we need to see now is that glimmer of hope."

Song Ruozhen's eyes were filled with complex emotions. In fact, even she found this turn of events quite unexpected, but that was exactly what the divination indicated.

We'll only know the reason after we go there.
