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

Chapter 788 It Wasn't Me Who Saved You, Fourth Brother

Chu Qingli's expression showed surprise, "So the Princess Consort of Chu knew about this?"

"Actually, my brother went to the Prince's Mansion to find me that day. I saw that he was injured, so I asked him a few questions, but I didn't know that the girl he saved was you."

He only said at the time that he couldn't ruin the girl's reputation, and he never told me who it was.

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. She couldn't let Chu Qingli misunderstand her third brother. Her third brother hadn't spread the word about this matter.

Chu Qingli seemed to see through the deeper meaning behind Song Ruozhen's words and said, "I know that Young Master Song is a good person. He said at the time that he would not tell anyone, and I believe him."

That day, she was suddenly cornered in the alley. Her maid had gone to buy things, and if Young Master Song hadn't arrived just in time, she couldn't imagine what might have happened.

After returning home, she remained uneasy, worried that the matter would get out or that she would be blackmailed.

In the past two years, she has encountered many such people, simply because her face is too attractive, but none of them are good people.

Someone once meticulously planned a "hero saves the beauty" scheme to get her to marry him, but she eventually saw through it.

This time, however, everything seemed normal when she returned home. She didn't even know who had saved her that day.

Later, when her cousin came back, she mentioned the story of "The West Chamber" at the Song Family Teahouse. She was immediately captivated by the story and decided to go to the Song Family Teahouse to hear the next episode.

After arriving at the Song family teahouse, she realized that the other party was actually the young master of the Song family.

The Song family is now very famous throughout the capital, and she understands that what happened last time was an accident; the other party saved her without asking for anything in return.

Realizing the other person's kindness and sincerity, she felt even more ashamed of her previous unwarranted suspicions. She prepared a gift as a token of her gratitude.

Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly; she really liked this girl's personality.

She was poised and generous, without much fuss or scheming. Even though she felt her brother hadn't come to the appointment, she wasn't angry. Instead, she thought he was polite and well-mannered.

“Miss Chu, actually, the person who saved you wasn’t my fourth brother,” Song Ruozhen said frankly.

Chu Qingli was slightly taken aback, a look of astonishment flashing in her eyes. "What?"

“My third and fourth brothers are twins. They have the same face, and it is difficult for anyone other than our own family to tell them apart at first glance.”

The reason I asked you to come out today is because I guessed there might be a misunderstanding in this matter, so I wanted to clarify things.

"Twin brothers?"

Chu Qingli's red lips parted slightly, her exquisite and beautiful face filled with bewilderment; this situation was something she had not anticipated.

"Does that mean... I've been mistaking people all along?"

She recalled that when she met Song Jingshen at the teahouse, he looked at her with a very unfamiliar gaze, as if he didn't recognize her at all.

She had initially guessed that the other person might have just casually saved someone and had long forgotten about her, never expecting that she had mistaken the person for someone else.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly and explained, "Twin brothers, they look exactly alike. It's not surprising that you would mistake them if you didn't know that."

As she spoke, Song Ruozhen waved to Song Jingshen, who was not far away, "Fourth Brother, come here!"

Song Jingshen then walked over, a warm smile on his face, "Miss Chu."

Chu Qingli was slightly embarrassed. She carefully looked at Song Jingshen in front of her and recalled the doubts that had appeared in her mind when she first met Song Jingshen.

"Isn't Young Master Song a bit more robust?"

“That’s right. My third brother has been practicing martial arts for many years, so he’s even more muscular. You’ll see when you meet him.”

Upon hearing this, Song Jingshen knew that their previous guesses were correct and that Miss Chu had indeed mistaken him for someone else. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and found his third brother quite amusing.

I don't know what this guy is thinking. He's usually so confident when we're arguing!

When I get back and tell him this, I'm definitely going to make him laugh at me!

Chu Qingli was a little embarrassed. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were twin brothers. I always thought you were my savior."

"Miss Chu, you don't need to take it to heart. My third brother and I were often mistaken for each other when we were young. However, after we grew up, I ran a business, while he spent all his time at the martial arts training ground."

Now he's a palace guard, rarely going out. It's perfectly normal that you don't recognize us brothers.

Seeing Chu Qingli's embarrassment, Song Jingshen took the initiative to defuse the situation, saying that if his third brother were capable enough, perhaps the woman in front of him would become their third sister-in-law.

"I happen to have an appointment with my third brother today. Why don't you wait here for me for a while, and I'll go and call him over?"

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. Now that she had figured out that everything was a misunderstanding, and she had finally managed to get Miss Chu to come out today, it would be such a pity if she couldn't let her third brother meet her!

Chu Qingli watched as Song Ruozhen finished speaking in a flurry, smiled at her, and hurriedly left. She subconsciously wanted to call her back, but then looked down at the brocade box in her hand and unconsciously tightened her grip on her fingers.

She came to express her gratitude, and although she had mistaken the person for someone else, now that she had met her real savior, she should still express her thanks.

“Miss Chu, our family is very easy to talk to. The temple fair is very lively today, and my fifth sister specially called my third brother out.”

With his personality, he wouldn't have come out at all if his fifth sister hadn't specifically called him.

Song Jingshen smiled and said, thinking to himself that with him and his fifth sister working together, they would definitely be able to bring their third brother's marriage together!

"So, Young Master Song doesn't like going out?" Chu Qingli asked.

Song Jingshen pondered and said, "Actually, for us men, as long as we don't like going to brothels or listening to music, we rarely go out."

I spend all day on the streets because I run a shop. My third brother, like my eldest brother, practices martial arts, and neither of them is married or has a girl they like, so naturally they don't need to go shopping.

Chu Qingli nodded and chuckled, "That's true. My brother rarely went out before he got married."

Chu Muyao walked aimlessly down the street, her mind filled with questions. "Today is the temple fair, but Fourth Brother Song said he had something to do. What do you think he went to do?"

"Princess, Young Master Song is always very busy with business. Today is the most lively day at the temple fair. Could he be going to do some business?"

The maid hesitated before speaking, but her eyes widened suddenly when she saw a familiar figure on the bridge.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing that her personal maid suddenly seemed to be greatly frightened, Chu Muyao couldn't help but wonder and subconsciously looked in the direction the maid was looking.

"Princess, I'm fine. Why don't we go for a stroll over here?" the maidservant quickly said.

Chu Muyao frowned. "Something's not right. There's something strange about you."
