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

Chapter 795 Disappeared

As the Prince of Yun returned to the Prince of Chu's residence, he couldn't help but wonder, "What happened? Why are you all being so secretive?"

"Fifth Brother, you should be mentally prepared for what we're about to tell you," Chu Junting said.

Chu Yungui's heart sank, the smile on his face vanished, and he realized the problem: "Is there something wrong with Huan'er's baby?"

"That's right, there's definitely something wrong with this pregnancy; someone has secretly cast a curse on it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yungui stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Huan'er and I rarely offend anyone. What kind of enemy is so vicious as to curse the child?"

"I don't know who it is, but this person's methods are so insidious that after thinking about it carefully, I have a guess in my mind."

"What guess?"

"Your Highness, do you remember the day Huan'er and Prince Yun got married, another family was also getting married?"

The two bridal sedan chairs should pass each other, and this ritual is best performed on the wedding day, as exchanging a child's body is equivalent to exchanging one's life.

Upon hearing this, Chu Junting and Chu Yungui exchanged a glance, both recalling the events of that day, and their expressions turned strange.

“I remember that when I came to pick up the bride that day, I felt strange. I had never heard of any other family getting married on the same day as us, and the other family’s wedding procession was quite grand.”

However, I didn't think much of it at the time, figuring it was an auspicious day, and a wedding was a joyous occasion.

Chu Yungui recalled the details of that day and immediately realized what was unusual about it.

"Huan'er was perfectly fine when she got into the bridal sedan chair, but after she got out of the sedan chair, she almost fell down, and even when she was bowing, she was a little dazed."

I felt something was off at the time, but I didn't think much of it. Now that I think about it, there really was something wrong!

At that time, not only him, but others also noticed something was wrong, but no one thought much of it, just that Huan'er was too nervous about getting married.

Do you remember who got married back then?

Song Ruozhen looked at Chu Yungui, "It seems that they are the ones who made the move!"

Chu Yungui shook his head. "I don't know that."

"I'll have someone investigate right away." Chu Junting immediately instructed Yun Yang to send someone to investigate. After all, it was a lively wedding, and there should be quite a few people who knew about it. They would be able to find out the information quickly.

"Sister-in-law, Huan'er is pregnant now, but the other woman was carrying a stillborn child, so they took the opportunity to switch her?"

Chu Yungui still finds it hard to believe that such a thing could happen; it's like listening to a fairy tale.

"This method is extremely rare; it's the first time I've encountered it myself, though I've heard my master mention it before."

Such methods are usually used on people of high status; exchanging a child is tantamount to exchanging a life, and besides, you all know what a stillborn child means.”

Chu Yungui and Chu Junting exchanged a glance. As members of the royal family, they were naturally the most aware of the situation.

At that time, Huan'er will not only be heartbroken because she lost her child, but also a lot of nasty things will be said, which will greatly affect her reputation.

"I am generally kind to others, and Huan'er is even more so; she rarely goes out after we got married."

"Among my original friends, the only one I had a falling out with was Wang Xue; we had no other enemies. Why would they be so malicious as to choose us?"

Chu Yungui grew angrier the more she thought about it, and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, will this situation affect Huan'er's health? Will something happen to her?"

"The other party's body must be in very bad shape. Usually, the appearance of this kind of magic means that the mother's body is damaged and she should not be able to conceive at all, otherwise she would not have a stillbirth."

Moreover, the other party probably doesn't care about this woman at all; their only goal is to switch children and harm others.

Song Ruozhen pondered this technique, because she had heard her master mention it as an example before, so she had some impression of it.

"Because it's not just about changing the fetus, it's also about changing one's life. Huan'er will experience twice the fatigue of pregnancy, and the uncomfortable symptoms will gradually become more obvious."

If that woman were a healthy woman, it wouldn't be too serious, but because she was already physically weak and nearing the end of her life, getting pregnant at such a time would be exceptionally difficult, so..."

Chu Yungui's heart sank. "Won't Huan'er suffer a lot?"

"She's only just gotten pregnant, so the situation isn't too serious yet, but we need to find her as soon as possible."

"Sister-in-law, if we can find the person, do you have a way to break this spell?"

Chu Yungui couldn't help but feel nervous, "If Huan'er can save her life, can the child be brought back?"

Song Ruozhen nodded, "As long as we find them, I will have a way. However, since they have resorted to such methods, they must have already gone into hiding."

Finding them won't be easy.

Chu Yungui clenched his fists. "No matter where they hide, I will find them!"

Soon, Yunyang found out the news, but when everyone learned the news, their mood remained heavy.

"On the day of His Highness the Prince of Chu's wedding, the wedding was held at the home of Master Yao in the east of the city. The wedding was very grand that day, but after I went to Master Yao to inquire, I learned that the person getting married was a distant relative of Master Yao's wife."

Upon further inquiry, I discovered that Yao's wife was completely unfamiliar with this distant relative.

They said the other party had given them a lot of money, saying they wanted a grand wedding in their family to save face.

“The Yao family was completely bribed with money. They didn’t care whether the other party was a distant relative or not, and were afraid that the other party would say that they had mistaken the person for someone else.”

Chu Junting frowned. "What about the groom?"

"The groom was the same, using the same tricks, and the wedding was very grand. Everyone said he was obviously rich."

"After they got married, they said they wanted to travel around. After packing their things, they left. I asked around carefully, but no one knew where they went."

I also spoke with the coachman who took them out of the city that day; he said that after dropping them off in the neighboring city, they sent him back.”

"I have already sent men to the city he mentioned to continue investigating their whereabouts."

As expected of someone who had followed Chu Junting for many years, Yunyang had already planned the next direction of the investigation after discovering the problem during his investigation.

Everyone knew that since the other party was determined not to be discovered, they would definitely try to erase the traces by taking different routes and changing their clothes. After a few times, they would be able to disappear completely.

"Zhen'er, can you figure it out?" Chu Junting asked.

Song Ruozhen shook her head, "This person is already dying, and her aura may be faint or real. Moreover, we have nothing to do with her. It's like searching for a vague and ethereal being among all living beings, which is extremely difficult."

Chu Junting and his companion suddenly realized the immense difficulty of this matter, and that this was probably why the other party could unleash such a curse with such impunity.
