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

Chapter 199: Already engaged?

Hearing Meng Qin's sarcastic remarks, Song Ruozhen almost couldn't suppress a smile.

She knew very well that Ke Yuanzhi liked this kind of extravagant lifestyle, using the best materials.

She would be dissatisfied if the silks Song Jingshen sent weren't the best, which was one of the reasons why Song Jingshen was so focused on expanding his business to other cities.

In this way, all the most fashionable and unique materials would fall into his hands immediately, and he could also win a smile from Ke Yuanzhi.

Now look what happens! Let Ke Yuanzhi experience the feeling of shooting herself in the foot!

Ke Yuanzhi looked at Qu Kuo with a pitiful expression. The latter, gazing into those eyes as clear as spring water, felt a surge of emotion and angrily accused Song Jingshen:

"Song Jingshen, you are shameless. You said you liked Ke Yuanzhi sincerely before, and now you want to take everything back. How dare you say that?"

"Why should I be embarrassed to say it? She herself said it has nothing to do with me, and all of this is a burden for her."

Before, you said it was wrong of me to force her, and now it's wrong of me not to force her either. You've said it all, so it's all my fault, right?

Song Jingshen scoffed, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, "Besides, you all know perfectly well what you were doing when I arrived!"

He was standing behind the two of them when he arrived, and he saw that Ke Yuanzhi was almost snuggling into Qu Kuo's arms.

Who comforts people like this?

He felt uneasy at the time, and now that he knew he had liked Ke Yuanzhi before, he understood why. But after knowing the reason, he understood his past self even less.

What kind of perspective is that?

Qu Kuo's expression changed slightly. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense?" Song Jingshen said with disdain. "You two were just standing together whispering sweet nothings. Do you think I'm blind?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, and only then did they understand the reason.

"No wonder Song Jingshen's attitude changed so drastically today; it turns out he ran into Ke Yuanzhi and Qu Kuo..."

“I heard that the Ke family intends to form a marriage alliance with the Qu family. Ke Yuanzhi has been frequently seen with Qu Kuo a few days ago. Moreover, she left in anger, but Song Jingshen saw her with Qu Kuo.”

If it were me, I would definitely be very angry too!

Ke Yuanzhi's eyes reddened, and she almost burst into tears. "Jing Shen, I know you're angry, but you can't spread rumors to humiliate me like this!"

"My relationship with Young Master Qu is completely innocent. I was just upset by Ruozhen. Young Master Qu is concerned about me, but you...you've really hurt me!"

If it were before, Song Jingshen would have felt anxious and distressed when he saw Ke Yuanzhi cry, and would have wanted to take all the blame upon himself and coax her gently.

But Song Jingshen clearly felt no pity; on the contrary, he thought the girl in front of him was too pretentious.

"I made up a lie? I wasn't the only one there just now; the guards of the Prince of Xiang's mansion saw it all clearly."

I, Song Jingshen, am an upright and honest person; I have no reason to fabricate such rumors to slander others!

Song Zhiyu nodded, "Yes, my fourth brother has always been honest and upright. You were quite close to other men before. If my fourth brother wanted to slander you, he would have done so long ago. Why would he wait until now?"

Meng Qin and Song Ruozhen exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh. Song Jingshen spoke quite politely, but Song Zhiyu's words were like a barrage of blows!

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; that's really the truth!

Ke Yuanzhi's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jingshen, what's wrong with you today? Why are you treating me like this?"

"I'm just telling the truth. I've never liked forcing people. You said you wanted a clean break, so I went along with it. What's wrong with that?" Song Jingshen's expression remained unchanged.

Qu Kuo couldn't bear to see his beloved being wronged, and angrily said, "Song Jingshen, if you have any problems, come at me. Why bully a young lady?"

To tell you the truth, Yuanzhi and I are getting engaged. Our families are already discussing the marriage. So what if she gets a little closer to me?

"No matter how jealous you are, it's useless. Yuanzhi doesn't care about any of your things!"

After saying that, Qu Kuo was smug. So what if Song Jingshen was good at business?

Yuanzhi is his!

Ke Yuanzhi didn't expect that Qu Kuo would impulsively say these things he shouldn't have. Wouldn't that be blatantly telling everyone that what Song Jingshen said before was true?

Originally, she wanted to choose again and didn't necessarily have to marry Qu Kuo, but after today's commotion, she had no choice but to marry him!

"Clap clap." Song Ruozhen clapped her hands. "So the two of you have been discussing marriage for a while now? Why didn't Miss Ke make it clear before?"

"If I had known this would happen, there wouldn't have been any misunderstanding at the banquet. I'd better make sure to keep track of all the gifts my fourth brother gave out, lest you still be entangled in disputes after you get married, which would ruin your future!"

Meng Qin nodded, looking puzzled. "Before, Miss Ke was always targeting Ruozhen. I thought she liked the young master."

She clearly has a mouth but doesn't know how to explain herself, all she does is cry, causing such a huge misunderstanding. Forget about whether they're related or not, why not just say they're engaged?

Liu Ruyan's expression darkened slightly as she said, "Yuanzhi, I've watched you grow up. Now that you've found a good match, we all congratulate you."

As for your relationship with Jing Shen, which has always been completely innocent, let's wipe the slate clean, and I will certainly not allow anyone to tarnish your reputation.

Although these words sounded like they were speaking up for Ke Yuanzhi, the latter's heart skipped a beat. This meant that Liu Ruyan would not allow any further contact between them.

There's no way I won't return the items!

After leaving the Prince of Xiang's residence, Song Zhiyu couldn't help but ask, "Fourth brother, what you did today was really satisfying, but you won't regret it, will you?"

He had been quite angry about Ke Yuanzhi's matter before, and today he finally felt relieved. However, he couldn't help but worry that if his fourth brother regretted it later, they would be the ones who would lose face!

After all, this kind of thing had happened before; whenever he encountered Ke Yuanzhi, Fourth Brother's mind was never clear.

Song Yi'an frowned, about to speak, but Liu Ruyan said coldly, "Jing Shen, it was fine before, but you heard it today too, Ke Yuanzhi and Qu Kuo are already engaged!"

If you dare to disturb me now, that's absolutely unacceptable. I'd rather break your legs than allow it!

Song Jingshen clearly did not expect Liu Ruyan to be so angry, and quickly said, "Mother, don't worry, how could your son do such an unethical thing?"

"Breaking up someone else's marriage is absolutely out of the question. My son was blind to have liked her before, but that won't happen again."

However, when Song Jingshen said these words, Liu Ruyan, Song Yi'an, and Song Zhiyu all felt that the words sounded somewhat familiar.

I feel like I've heard this somewhere before.

The next instant, Song Ruozhen saw that the gazes of the others suddenly turned to her...

Song Ruozhen: "???" The city gate catches fire, and the fish in the moat suffer the consequences?

You know what, she actually said that before. What's going on with Song Jingshen?

In my past life, I died a terrible death because of my excessive obsession with love. Could I have been reborn?
