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

Chapter 781 There's something strange about Third Brother!

Seeing her third brother's suspicious look, Song Ruozhen said, "Third brother, there's no rush. Let me figure out the situation first."

Song Zhiyu nodded. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Song Ruozhen's eyes curved slightly. Her third brother had truly trusted her since childhood. Even though he was older than her, he habitually listened to her.

If he were to marry a wife, he would definitely be very obedient to her. In fact, in her opinion, if the other party liked the honest and rough type, then her third brother would be considered an extremely desirable man.

"Then you should just wait patiently and don't rush to set up your fourth brother. If it turns out to be a misunderstanding, it will be embarrassing if things get out of hand."

"I see."

Song Zhiyu thought his fifth younger sister was the smartest and that what she said was always right. But the thought that Miss Chu might like him made him unable to contain his excitement.

However, as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he felt it was impossible. How could there be such a good thing?

If Song Zhiyu could have such a beautiful girl like him, that would be an incredible blessing!

After Song Ruozhen came out of Song Zhiyu's courtyard, she bumped into Song Jingshen as soon as she turned the corner.

"Fifth sister, you're finally back! Let me tell you, Third brother is definitely up to something!"

Song Jingshen said with certainty, "My third brother and I are twins, and I know his temperament all too well. Over the years, he has hardly had any contact with girls."

My mother had been trying to find him a wife, but he couldn't even remember the names of the girls she had chosen. Yet this time, he actually wanted to play matchmaker for me.

Not only that, he praised Miss Chu to the skies, calling her practically a fairy descended from heaven!

As Song Jingshen spoke, he clapped his hands and said, "I guarantee that Third Brother definitely likes her. This is a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder!"

After listening to Song Jingshen's analysis, Song Ruozhen exclaimed, "As expected of Fourth Brother, we're on the same page!"

"I knew you clearly like Mu Yao, so why didn't you immediately reject Third Brother's matchmaking? Are you trying to get information out of him?"

Song Jingshen chuckled, "I just wanted to find out which girl this silly brother likes."

Actually, he sensed something was wrong as soon as he heard what his third brother meant. He thought that if a girl knew that his third brother liked him, yet still asked him to act as a matchmaker, that would be too despicable.

He didn't immediately refuse, wanting to find out more information. Later, based on his judgment, he concluded that it was probably his third brother's unrequited love, and the girl was completely unaware of it.

"Chu Qingli, the second daughter of Prince Gong's Mansion. Third brother, you've always been very knowledgeable about the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, so you should know something about her too, right?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Since her fourth brother is here, she doesn't need to send someone to inquire.

"So this is Miss Chu?"

Song Jingshen was slightly surprised. Come to think of it, this is Chu Muyao's cousin!

Song Ruozhen smiled and nodded, "It really is quite a coincidence."

"I've heard about Chu Qingli before. She was beautiful from a young age, and by the age of twelve or thirteen, she already possessed the beauty to captivate a city."

It is said that suitors flocked to her door, and Prince Gong and his wife doted on her. However, they later felt she was too beautiful and decided it was best to arrange a marriage sooner rather than later, thus choosing the young general from the Yao family.

"You may not know about the young general of the Yao family. He is also a young prodigy, no less than our eldest brother."

When the marriage was arranged, everyone praised them as a perfect match, a match made in heaven. It's just a pity that news of their deaths in battle came later.

Song Jingshen sighed as he said this, "You know the character of these people in the capital. They might lose their lives if they went to the battlefield."

They love to pin the blame on women, calling her a femme fatale who brought death to her fiancé. Isn't that going too far?

“I understand.” Song Ruozhen nodded. “This world is just unfair to women, so Chu Qingli has rarely appeared in public since then, right?”

"That's right, we rarely heard from her after that, and she never got married."

"So, she really is a good girl, she just had bad luck and this happened to her."

Song Ruozhen frowned. The girl was just pretty, yet she was labeled a femme fatale. It would be better to poison all these people's voices with a mute drug!

"It's strange, Chu Qingli has rarely shown her face in recent years. My third brother usually either goes to the palace to work, goes to the martial arts training ground, or stays at home. How did he get to know her?"

Song Jingshen was puzzled; this was the part he couldn't understand the most.

He always wanted to urge his third brother to go out more, but the guy wasn't interested in anything. He would only go out for things related to his fifth sister. Otherwise, he never went out.

Song Ruozhen: "I know that!"

Song Jingshen: "Tell me about it."

"This is an interesting story; it's a tale of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress and falling in love at first sight."

After Song Ruozhen explained the whole story clearly, Song Jingshen immediately understood:

"Third Brother is such a blockhead. I have never met Miss Chu before. Although she is indeed quite pretty, there is no way she would have taken a liking to me for no reason. She must have mistaken me for him!"

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "That's what I thought too. There's another possibility, maybe the girl just wanted to express her gratitude?"

In such a rush that day, and given the mindset of a young woman, the debt of gratitude for being saved could not be simply forgotten with a word of thanks.

It just so happens that I ran into him later, so I wanted to find an opportunity to thank him properly. That's perfectly normal. Maybe Fourth Brother is just overthinking it.

At the same time, Song Zhiyu inside the room sneezed.

"Achoo! Who's talking about me?"

He touched his nose in confusion, thinking about what his colleague had told him.

"Zhiyu, we're all good brothers, family, so I won't hide anything. My sister asked me to help inquire. Your fourth brother isn't married yet, so I wonder if he has someone he likes?"

"Miss Chu is incredibly beautiful. I was stunned when I first saw her."

"My sister said she could tell that Miss Chu was interested in him. Don't be fooled by the fact that my sister is standing next to Miss Chu and looks as dark as a coal, she's very clever."

Back when your sister-in-law and I were together, it was my sister who immediately realized she liked me, hehe.

Thinking about what his colleagues and younger sister had said, Song Zhiyu couldn't help but think the best of things. If Miss Chu liked him, how wonderful that would be...

He couldn't help but recall the scene from that day, and he absentmindedly scratched his hair in frustration.

What are you daydreaming about in broad daylight?

"Song Zhiyu, you're dreaming!"

The next moment, he looked in the mirror again and thought to himself, "I'm not exactly ugly, but isn't all this muscle a bit too much?"
