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

Chapter 689 Lost Soul

"Cui Ying'er?"

Song Ruozhen was not surprised by this answer. The person who most hoped for Lu Qingxue's accident was probably Cui Ying'er.

“When it was my birthday, Fan Huarong was suddenly called away by Cui Ying'er, so I sent someone to follow him and see what was going on.”

Because Cui Ying'er was pregnant, Fan Huarong must have cared a lot about the child, as he was kept by her all night and didn't return until late at night.

The next day, Fan Huarong took out the bracelet and gave it to me. His expression was very strange; he seemed surprised to have such a thing. I happened to see it, so he gave it to me.

Lu Qingxue recalled the scene at that time and said, "Actually, I was already heartbroken by him at that time, but I couldn't let go of the feelings I had for many years, so I just wanted to see what he could do."

As you know, many people won't give up until they hit a brick wall, and they won't give up until the very last moment.

Only after being battered and bruised, and utterly heartbroken, can one find the courage to sever all ties.

"So, in order not to make him feel strange, and also because I thought this was probably the last gift he would give me, I kept wearing it on my hand."

Looking at Lu Qingxue's bitter smile, Song Ruozhen understood the complicated feelings she had at that time.

After all, she was his beloved. It's not something most people could do to let go so easily. It's already quite remarkable that Lu Qingxue could be so rational.

"It seems that this must be the trick used by Cui Ying'er. She must have put in a lot of effort to attract such evil spirits."

"As a woman, pregnant herself, and knowing full well the horror of vengeful spirits, she still uses them to harm you. You must understand how wicked this woman is," Song Ruozhen warned.

Lu Qingxue nodded, a cold killing intent flashing in her eyes: "I don't care that she wanted to take Fan Huarong away, but I absolutely cannot forgive her for trying to harm my child!"

"Ruozhen, I want to ask if I can return this thing to her, along with the filth on it?"

Seemingly realizing that her words were inappropriate, Lu Qingxue explained, "I know that it's not suitable to say this in front of you..."

Song Ruozhen raised her hand to interrupt her, "There's nothing wrong with using someone's own methods against them, and there's nothing inappropriate about it in front of me."

Now it was Lu Qingxue who was stunned. "I thought you people of the Xuanmen were all kind-hearted and couldn't stand such things..."

"I'm not a Buddhist monk, so I don't believe in the saying 'If I don't go to hell, who will?'"

Song Ruozhen waved her hand, indicating that it was all a misunderstanding. She was good at sacrificing her friends rather than herself, and that an eye for an eye was a normal thing for her. All she wanted was to feel good.

If someone hurts you, and you repay evil with kindness, that's not magnanimity, that's foolishness!

She doesn't have that much magnanimity, nor does she care to influence others with her kindness.

"I've already put that vengeful spirit away. Do you want me to put it back on this string of beads or on something else?"

"Let's stick with this string of beads."

Lu Qingxue smiled; she seemed to understand why the King of Chu liked Song Ruozhen so much.

She likes it too; it's really hard not to like a girl like that.

Song Ruozhen released the vengeful spirit she had captured earlier, allowing it to return to the beaded string. Since Cui Ying'er had obtained this, she must know how to deal with it.

She didn't know what Lu Qingxue planned to do, but she could roughly guess some of it.

……

Fan Huarong left the Lu family dejectedly, a stark contrast to his previous joy upon returning to the city. He looked like a wilted eggplant.

When exactly did Qingxue find out?

He kept thinking about this question. Had he been too careless before, thinking he had hidden it well, and hadn't even noticed Qingxue's changes?

After returning to the Marquis's residence, Fan Huarong went to the room where the two of them lived.

However, the house, which was so familiar to him, felt strangely unfamiliar at this moment.

Because all of Qingxue's belongings were gone, leaving the place empty except for his things.

"Does she really not want me anymore?"

Fan Huarong was filled with remorse. He sat dejectedly on the ground, clutching his hair, finding it hard to accept the outcome.

At this moment, Fan Huarong's good friend Xu Bin learned of his return and immediately booked a restaurant, inviting his friends to gather together.

"Hua Rong, you've been gone for half a month, you're finally back! Why don't you have a good get-together with the brothers?"

Xu Bin smiled broadly, "I've recently discovered a few beauties, they're absolutely gorgeous. I've invited them over today, and I'll let you meet them later."

Upon hearing this, the others all smiled knowingly.

"Xu Bin, you're really something, you always manage to find so many beauties."

"Hua Rong has never cared about beauties before, but now he has taken a fancy to Cui Ying'er. I heard that she is pregnant now. She is better than the wife he went to great lengths to marry, who has never been able to conceive."

"Isn't that right? If you ask me, Hua Rong is just stupid. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but he insists on marrying only Lu Qingxue."

I don't think Lu Qingxue is anything special. She's so arrogant because of her high social status!

Qian Zhigao, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Xu Bin, don't think I don't know. Didn't you like Lu Qingxue back then? It's a pity she didn't like you and married Marquis Fan. You're not just envious and jealous, are you?"

Xu Bin's face turned cold, and he said, "I didn't. Would you accept that woman's demands? I certainly don't like them at all!"

Back then, he was truly devoted to Lu Qingxue. She came from a noble family and was a renowned beauty in the capital. Who wouldn't like her?

But that woman completely disregarded him, not even willing to glance at him. Who would have thought that she would eventually marry Fan Huarong? Just thinking about it makes me furious!

As Fan Huarong walked outside, he heard the discussions inside. An incredulous look flashed in his eyes. Xu Bin actually liked Qingxue back then?

He couldn't help but recall the displeased look in Lu Qingxue's eyes when she saw Xu Bin before. At the time, he only thought that she didn't like her friend and didn't give him any face at all.

Hearing all this now, could it be that she had misunderstood everything from the very beginning?

"If you ask me, this kind of woman needs to be taught a lesson. She's already married, so why is she always acting so arrogant?"

Xu Bin scoffed, "Since you can't have children, you shouldn't stop Hua Rong from having children with other women. Such petty-mindedness has no class whatsoever. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, women shouldn't be so narrow-minded, otherwise what kind of image would they have?"

At this moment, Fan Huarong pushed the door open and entered, "Xu Bin, what nonsense are you spouting?"
