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

Chapter 968 It’s your own fault

Song Ruozhen was genuinely surprised to hear this.

It's not surprising that the Empress Dowager was worried about her condition, after all, her attitude had been extremely clear ever since she learned of her pregnancy.

Even now that I live in the Prince's Mansion, my mother still sends people to deliver tonics, and all sorts of tonics are sent in turn.

As if worried that she would get tired of the food, they kept changing the flavors, which allowed her to truly appreciate the culinary skills of the imperial kitchen, which were truly remarkable.

"Your father has always valued you highly, and now you are pregnant with three children, which is unprecedented in the entire royal family."

Rumors are circulating that this is an auspicious sign from heaven, and that if the baby is born, it will be a very good omen.

Chu Junting couldn't help but laugh as he said this, "Before, Yun Gui relied on his sister-in-law getting pregnant first and kept saying that I was inferior to him in this respect. You have no idea how interesting his expression was after he found out that you were pregnant with triplets."

Song Ruozhen thought that Chu Yungui had indeed mentioned this matter to them quite a bit before, and had been constantly encouraging Chu Junting, telling him that he must work harder.

Not only that, he even offered to share his experience with Chu Junting, speaking from his own experience.

As for their experience, she dared not listen to what they were whispering about, for fear it would offend her ears.

“After that, he started asking me for advice on how to conceive triplets.”

Chu Junting's brows furrowed with pride. Thinking back to how that kid had been bragging to him about becoming a father, it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

My wife is as beautiful as a fairy. If she could give birth to a child who looks like Zhen'er, just thinking about it would be incredibly cute, let alone the fact that we now have three.

Upon hearing the news, he even wondered if it was because he had been alone in his past life that God had made up for it by giving him such wonderful things in this life.

Seeing Chu Junting's expression, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but feel helpless. Sure enough, no matter how mature this man was, he still had a childlike side.

"These kinds of things are all about luck; there's no experience to speak of."

Chu Junting raised an eyebrow, quite agreeing, "This kind of luck is truly not something ordinary people can have."

Song Ruozhen: "..."

"It's fine for us to say this amongst ourselves, but don't say it outside, or you'll be showing off."

Looking at his wife's careful and instructive manner, Chu Junting found her extremely adorable. He reached out and hugged Song Ruozhen, giving her a big kiss.

"Don't worry, Madam, I know what I'm doing."

Song Ruozhen twitched the corners of her mouth, and judging from her animated expression, she didn't seem to have much sense of propriety.

After the laughter and commotion subsided, Song Ruozhen took out the gift that Xia Zhilan had given her.

"What is this?" Chu Junting asked.

"This was given to me by Zhilan. She told me about the items her father left behind. I could sense the aura emanating from them, and they definitely belonged to the Xuanmen sect."

When I opened it, I found a book inside. Strangely enough, the book contained principles of conduct that had nothing to do with Taoism.

Song Ruozhen opened the box and took out the books inside, but she had not yet figured out their mysteries.

"In addition, there is a crescent-shaped jade pendant."

Song Ruozhen picked up the jade pendant and immediately recognized its excellent quality, indicating it was no ordinary item. However, she couldn't immediately discern any connection between the jade pendant and the book.

Chu Junting examined the jade pendant and said, "This jade pendant is of very good quality, with a bright green color and extremely clear appearance. However, is this kind of thing... a magical artifact of the Xuanmen sect?"

"I can only say that the aura above is very special, but I have no way of determining its function for the time being. I will study it carefully when I get back."

Song Ruozhen shrugged. She had taken the item because she sensed that the aura emanating from it was unusual.

However, the ingenious application of this still needs to be carefully considered.

"I had indeed heard before that Zhilan's father was very interested in esoteric arts and had spent a lot of time and effort in this area, asking many questions about it."

I vaguely remember hearing him say that he was destined to face a calamity in his life and wouldn't live long.

Chu Junting recalled the situation at that time, and his expression became complicated.

"When he said that, no one really took it to heart. They just thought he was obsessed with esoteric arts and was talking nonsense."

However, to my surprise, it all actually came true.

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback, as she had only heard about this today. "It seems he has some expertise in this area, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to calculate it."

"The truth is now impossible to know. Given how much effort he put into the mystical arts, what he left behind must not be ordinary."

Since it fell into your hands, it's fate, and your good deed helped Zhilan.

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. She could only sigh about the past. Now that this thing was in her hands, she believed that with a little effort, she would be able to find its wonderful uses.

As soon as Song Ruozhen returned to the Prince's Mansion, she unsurprisingly encountered Gu Ruyan.

"Mom, what delicious treats did you bring me today?"

Song Ruozhen walked forward with a smile and affectionately took Gu Ruyan's hand.

Gu Ruyan seemed to have some thoughts on her mind, but the moment she saw Song Ruozhen, a smile appeared on her face.

"You silly girl, I made you pigeon soup and your favorite snacks today. Where did you go this morning?"

“We went to the Xiao family and found their son. We had initially thought he had accidentally fallen to his death, but after I did a divination, we found out he was still alive.”

I happened to have sent the person back today, and they only returned after having lunch.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruyan couldn't help but be surprised, "Then the Xiao family is far too careless! The person is still alive, but they think he's dead and have even held a funeral?"

"You bet! Their expressions when they saw people going back this morning were quite something."

Mother, you didn't see it with your own eyes. If you had gone to see the excitement this morning, you would have found it incredibly interesting.

Song Ruozhen took Gu Ruyan's arm and walked into the house. She didn't miss her mother's expression and said:

"Mother, now that Third Brother and Fourth Brother's marriages are settled and the family is in good health, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Why do you look like you have something on your mind right now?"

Gu Ruyan was slightly taken aback, not expecting Song Ruozhen to be so observant and to see through it so easily.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that those guys from the Liu family are desperate and came to us for help again. I've already driven them all away."

She waved her hand, her eyes showing disdain, "In the end, they have only themselves to blame for ending up like this."
