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

Chapter 48 Yun Nianchu's Feelings

"Miss Song, I haven't seen Yi An since his accident. I wonder how he is doing now?"

"Yi An had sent someone to take a few books from me before. Later, I picked out some more books that might be helpful for the imperial examinations. I just didn't expect that Yi An would get into trouble later..."

Xu He'an's eyes showed regret. He had seen Song Yi'an write articles before, and he was truly talented. Even the usually low-key teacher couldn't help but praise him.

Song Yi'an had expected to make a name for himself in this year's imperial examination, but he never imagined that something like this would happen.

Song Ruozhen's eyes lit up. "Young Master Xu, may I take those books back with me?"

Second Brother's eye ailment will recover soon, but the spring imperial examination is approaching, and his mood has been affected during this time, inevitably causing him to fall behind in his studies.

Now that the book is being taken back, it would be good even if Mo Yu reads it to her second brother every day.

“Of course, no problem,” Xu He’an replied. “I’ll have someone go and get it right away.”

"I thank Young Master Xu on behalf of my second brother."

Xu He'an waved his hand, "Miss Song helped me find my sister, she is an benefactor of our Xu family, what are these books compared to that?"

If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.

After receiving the book, Song Ruozhen realized it was time to go back and treat her second brother's eye ailment, so she said, "Then I'll head back now."

"Won't Miss Song stay a little longer?" Xu He'an asked in surprise.

"I have some things to attend to at home, so I won't stay any longer. We'll meet again sometime."

Song Ruozhen turned her head and winked at Yun Nianchu. She knew very well that since Yun Chengze was here, Nianchu would definitely not leave.

As expected, Yun Nianchu said somewhat shyly, "Ruozhen, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

"Brother Xu, do you like Ruozhen?"

When Yun Nian first saw Song Ruozhen leave, her curious gaze immediately turned to Xu He'an.

Xu He'an and Yun Chengze were good friends, and she knew him well. In the past, he was like her cousin, indifferent to girls, but today his attitude towards Ruozhen was obviously different.

Moreover, it seemed that Madam Xu was also trying to bring them together.

"Miss Yun, you must not say this rashly, lest it tarnish Miss Song's reputation."

Xu He'an was slightly surprised, not expecting Yun Nianchu to be so straightforward.

Upon seeing this, Yun Nianchu laughed even more heartily, "Brother Xu, I have never seen you like this before, but Ruozhen is really nice."

I've known her since I was a child. I felt that although she was General Song's daughter, she was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and she managed the family's land and shops very well.

Countless families wanted to propose marriage to her back then, but Lin Zhiyue delayed things for two years. I really feel sorry for her.

A young woman over twenty is considered an old maid, and it becomes inconvenient to talk about marriage. Although Ruozhen didn't say it, how could she not understand?

Brother Xu has a good personality and a good family background. He has also passed the imperial examination. If he can be with Ruozhen, he will definitely be no worse than Lin Zhiyue.

Besides, given Brother Xu's personality, he wouldn't do something as despicable and vile as Lin Zhiyue.

Hearing Yun Nianchu's sincere praise, Xu He'an recalled Song Ruozhen's gentle and polite demeanor and felt a little restless.

"Miss Yun, Chengze and I plan to go boating on the lake tomorrow..."

Xu He'an turned to look at Yun Chengze, who spoke up: "Nianchu, why don't you invite Miss Song out so we can relax together?"

“Great!” Yun Nianchu’s eyes lit up.

In the corridor not far behind the three, Chu Yungui raised an eyebrow. "Third brother, Xu He'an is quite capable. He even specially found Yun Nianchu as a helper."

Should we go together tomorrow? What if Xu He'an beats us to it? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

"What's this about being first? It's just a boat trip on the lake, what does it have to do with me?"

Chu Junting turned around casually, seemingly not caring at all.

However, I felt inexplicably restless.

I just... don't like Xu He'an at all.

Song House.

Upon returning, Song Ruozhen went straight to Song Yi'an's courtyard and placed the books she had brought back on the table.

"Fifth Sister, what did you bring?"

Today, Song Yi'an discovered that he could vaguely see Song Ruozhen's figure. Although he couldn't see it clearly, there was a blurry outline that allowed him to know roughly what he was seeing.

This discovery delighted him.

At least, he no longer needs anyone's help, nor does he stumble and knock things over.

"I just returned from the Xu residence. This is a book that Young Master Xu asked me to bring, saying it will be helpful for your spring examination."

"Brother Xu, you're really thoughtful."

Song Yi'an was pleasantly surprised. Xu He'an had achieved excellent results in both the spring examination and the palace examination, and his notes were undoubtedly very valuable.

"Second brother, after today's acupuncture, you should be able to see clearly tomorrow. But since you've just recovered, you should avoid using your eyes too much. Let Moyu read to you," Song Ruozhen said with a smile.

Song Yi'an's problem wasn't with her eyes; it was just that a blood clot in her brain was affecting her vision.

Under her acupuncture treatment, the blood clots have gradually disappeared and will be completely gone by tomorrow, and vision will naturally return to normal.

"Second brother will listen to you."

Song Yi'an's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, "Fifth Sister, all thanks to you!"

"I'm really looking forward to my second brother being selected in the imperial examination. When that happens, I'll finally be able to hold my head high and have a good life!"

"If Fifth Sister wants it, even the stars in the sky, Second Brother will find a way to pluck them from the sky!"

Yun Nianchu arrived early the next morning.

"Ruozhen, are you free today? Shall we go boating on the lake together?"

Song Ruozhen asked in surprise, "Why would you suddenly want to go boating on the lake?"

"The weather is lovely today. I've been feeling really cooped up since I came home, and my cousin happened to be going boating on the lake, so he invited me to go with him..."

"You don't want to go boating on the lake, you just want to spend more time with your cousin, right?"

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. Actually, Yun Nianchu was not young anymore and it was time for her to get married.

I heard that Madam Yun has already found several good candidates for her, but Yun Nianchu has been trying to find ways to refuse them. However, this can't go on forever.

"Ruozhen, please stop making fun of me." Yun Nianchu said shyly, then couldn't help but sigh.

"I always think that if I spend more time with my cousin, he might fall in love with me. Do you think... he might have feelings for me?"

"Yes, I will," Song Ruozhen replied.

The original book did not describe the relationship between Yun Chengze and Yun Nianchu in much detail, only mentioning it briefly, and even Yun Chengze's feelings were not very clear.

The only certainty is that Yun Chengze died not long after Yun Nianchu's death.

Those who ruined Nianchu all met with bad ends.

This cannot be a coincidence; there is only one explanation.

"Then you must help me. My parents have been urging me to get married. I made an excuse to go back to visit my family this time so that I could find a reason to refuse this marriage."

But if things continue like this, I'm afraid my parents will get angry with me, and then I really won't know what to do."

Song Ruozhen frowned slightly when she saw the dark aura appearing on Yun Nianchu's forehead, and replied, "Okay."
