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

Chapter 971 Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to One's Origin?

After hearing Gu Qingzhe's words, Gu Ruyan realized that this guy had noticed her before.

To avoid putting her mother in a difficult position, she turned and left after discovering the situation. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhe saw it and decided that she should help him.

"Think what you want, it's your business anyway, it has nothing to do with me."

Gu Ruyan made up her mind at this moment. She felt that Zhen'er was right. She didn't need to be troubled by this matter at all. It was really not worth it.

Gu Qingzhe had inquired about Gu Ruyan's temperament beforehand and knew that she had been forced to do this and that by the Liu family for many years, and dared not speak out against it.

Especially after meeting the Liu family, he learned a lot of information from them.

She felt that Gu Ruyan's personality was the easiest to manipulate. As long as she asked, and as long as Gu Ruyan didn't want to be a sinner against the Gu family, she would definitely help her!

Just as Gu Qingzhe was blocking the way and refusing to leave, a cold and sharp voice rang out.

"Gu Qingzhe, how dare you make things difficult for my mother-in-law?"

Chu Junting made a special trip over there and witnessed this scene.

Gu Qingzhe was startled by the sudden sound. He turned around and saw Chu Junting. His heart skipped a beat, and panic visibly crept onto his face.

"Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding."

Gu Qingzhe hurriedly tried to explain that although he had not been at the Gu family home during this period, everyone knew about the Emperor's appointment of the Crown Prince.

Because of this, he couldn't help but feel regret.

If he hadn't left the Gu family back then, he could have become related to the Crown Prince now. If the Crown Prince were to inherit the throne in the future, he would have become a noble member of the royal family!

It's such a shame that such a great opportunity was lost.

"What misunderstanding? Are you trying to say that I, the Crown Prince, am blind, or that I misheard?"

Chu Junting walked to Gu Ruyan's side and asked with concern, "Mother-in-law, are you alright?"

Gu Ruyan did not expect that Chu Junting would witness this scene, but after a moment's thought, she could easily guess that it was Zhen'er who did it.

She didn't want Zhen'er to worry about her, but now it seems she couldn't hide it from her at all. Zhen'er had already figured it out, which is why Jun Ting made a special trip here.

"I'm fine, I just said a few words."

Seeing that Gu Ruyan wasn't talking nonsense, Gu Qingzhe breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, we just haven't seen each other for a long time, so we exchanged a few pleasantries. There was absolutely no trouble involved."

As he spoke, Gu Qingzhe's face was full of fawning smiles, "Your Highness, no matter what, Ruyan is my own sister, and I would never bully her."

“If you were a normal person, you wouldn’t do such a thing, but you have a precedent to learn from. Everyone knows how you treated my mother-in-law back then.”

Back when the Gu family recognized this marriage, Chu Junting thought Gu Qingzhe was brainless. Now, his mother-in-law's status has risen so much that she is no ordinary lady among the many ladies in the capital.

Instead of repenting and seeking his mother-in-law's forgiveness, this guy dares to threaten her! He's really got a death wish!

Gu Qingzhe's face instantly turned ugly. He knew that His Highness the Crown Prince's words were clearly saying that he was not human.

“Apologize to my mother-in-law right now, or else…you will go to jail to reflect on your actions.”

Chu Junting's eyes were cold and deep. His handsome and stunning face looked particularly intimidating and terrifying when he was angry.

Gu Qingzhe was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. "Your Highness, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."

Then he looked at Gu Ruyan and said, "Ruyan, I'm really desperate now, that's why I'm asking you for help. Please forgive me for the sake of our sibling relationship!"

"All I want to do now is go home. I truly know I was wrong about everything that happened before."

Since leaving the Gu family, I've regretted it every day, wanting to go back, but I have no chance.

My child is about to be born, and all I want is for my child to have the opportunity to be recognized as part of the family line. This is something you can easily resolve with a few words.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruyan and Chu Junting were both slightly surprised. This guy has a child?

"You have a kid?"

Gu Ruyan thought back to when Gu Qingzhe left, his wife divorced him and even took the child with her, all because he remained stubborn and unrepentant.

I thought that after Gu Qingzhe left the Gu family, he would live a miserable life and reflect on his actions. If he had any sense, he might even beg his wife to come back.

So... this guy has another child?

Gu Qingzhe nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, I have a child."

My father made me leave in a fit of anger back then. Now, the child deserves a chance to be recognized and reconnected with the family; he can't keep wandering around. Don't you think so?

Gu Ruyan: "..."

"If you want to go back to the Gu family, go and beg them. If you're begging my mother-in-law here, people who don't know better will think you're surnamed Song!"

Chu Junting dismissively threw down a remark and then sent Gu Ruyan back.

After Gu Ruyan walked out of the alley, she saw Song Ruozhen getting off the carriage.

Because she was pregnant, it was inconvenient for her to come directly. The servants took some time to prepare the carriage, and by the time they arrived, everything had already been explained.

"Mother, are you alright?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Gu Ruyan shook her head, somewhat embarrassed, "I'm already so old, and you two juniors still have to go to such lengths for me."

“Mother, what are you saying? You’re always the one who worries about us. Besides, Gu Qingzhe is just a troublemaker, he’s not a problem at all.”

Song Ruozhen waved her hand, "But I just saw him kneel down. Is he going all out for the Gu family?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Junting and Gu Ruyan both showed expressions of disgust.

“Madam, you would never guess why Gu Qingzhe is so eager to return to the Gu family,” Chu Junting said.

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow, thinking in the unlikely direction, and said, "It can't be another romantic entanglement, can it?"

Chu Junting was somewhat surprised, "You actually guessed that?"

"Really?" Song Ruozhen looked surprised. "I just saw your expression and thought it couldn't be an ordinary reason, so I thought of this unlikely possibility."

“He said he already has children and wants them to be recognized by their ancestors and return to their roots, so they can’t keep wandering outside. Therefore, he hopes to go back.”

Gu Ruyan looked disgusted. "In my opinion, he doesn't have any intention of admitting his mistake at all. He just wants to use this as an excuse to go back."

"This is indeed a good excuse. My maternal grandmother couldn't bear to see her son suffer outside. Although my maternal grandfather was determined not to acknowledge him, he could just wait until he brought the child back."

When they see such young children, they will definitely feel sorry for them and will naturally have the opportunity to accept them.

Song Ruozhen twitched the corner of her mouth and sighed, "He certainly knows how to handle the Gu family."
