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

Chapter 979 Is this really the case?

Zhu Niantao pleaded desperately, hoping that Gu Qingzhe would give her another chance, considering the bond they had formed over the years.

"I'll go and get an abortion right now. As long as you give me a chance, I'll definitely be able to have your child!"

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhe was speechless and didn't know what to say. He felt ashamed at the thought that he had been so stupid and had been completely fooled.

Gu Qingyan felt he couldn't bear to watch any longer. "I've said all I have to say today. Zhen'er is only being lenient with you this time because of the Gu family."

However, Father also said that you are no longer a member of the Gu family. If you dare to act presumptuously in front of Zhen'er again, you will only face death.

Just take care of yourself! "

After saying that, Gu Qingyan turned and left.

Gu Qingzhe's face was pale. He opened his mouth as if to say a few more words. He really wanted to go back to the Gu family, but looking at his elder brother's departing figure, he knew that what he had done this time had disappointed his family to the extreme.

I'm afraid... I really don't have any chance at all!

The jailer watched the spectacle for a long time, initially worried that Gu Qingyan would help Gu Qingzhe vent his anger, but it turned out that Gu Qingyan had come to sever ties.

"Tsk tsk, and he still has the nerve to call himself the third young master of the Gu family?"

"If I'd known you were so easily fooled, I would have had my niece do it. At least you wouldn't have ended up being someone else's father!"

"I had heard before that the eldest and second sons of the Gu family were capable, but the third son was not. Now it seems that he is simply stupid!"

Hearing these sarcastic remarks, Gu Qingzhe's already unpleasant expression turned even more grim.

He glared fiercely at Zhu Niantao, all of this was thanks to this woman!

Zhu Niantao jumped in fright, "No, don't hit me..."

……

Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting were preparing lunch at the mansion when they saw Prince Yun and Gu Huan'er arrive.

"Brother, sister-in-law, isn't this a coincidence? You wouldn't mind if we came over for a meal, would you?"

Prince Yun sat down as if they were old friends. “If you want to say that this dish is delicious, it has to be the chef in your palace. His skills are extraordinary.”

Chu Junting glanced at him. "You came all this way for something?"

"I'm fine, but Huan'er wanted to come and see her cousin-in-law, and when I checked the time, I thought I'd just come and get a meal."

Chu Yungui looked at Gu Huan'er beside him and asked, "Speaking of which, has Your Majesty already heard about what happened in the prison today?"

He knew far more than Huan'er, because Gu Qingzhe was severely beaten after being released from prison.

Although there was no evidence, he felt that the person who did it must be his elder brother!

After all, Gu Qingzhe had a death wish, daring to offend the Empress Dowager. The fact that he wasn't punished in prison for three days was only because of the Gu family's influence. But once he was released, the Emperor would certainly not remain idle.

Chu Junting glanced at Chu Yungui, his handsome face showing confusion, "What's going on?"

Upon seeing that expression, Chu Yungui knew for sure.

It was my elder brother who did it!

"It's good that you don't know. I came here specifically to tell my cousin after hearing this news."

Gu Huan'er looked delighted; she felt particularly excited whenever she talked about the excitement she had witnessed.

"Cousin, you're right. The child Zhu Niantao is carrying isn't Uncle San's."

The eldest son went to investigate the matter thoroughly and discovered that Zhu Niantao had a relationship with the third young master of the Zhou family before, but was kicked out of the family and had no other choice but to find the third uncle.

To my surprise, our simple-minded and clueless third uncle actually believed it.

"My parents have been lamenting all day that while others learn from their mistakes, he keeps making the same mistakes and doesn't seem to learn anything at all."

Gu Huan'er couldn't help but laugh as she said this; it was just too ridiculous.

Song Ruozhen knew how efficient the Gu family was; when she brought up the matter that day, she knew the Gu family would definitely investigate thoroughly.

After all, matters of bloodline should not be confused.

Once you get involved with someone like Zhu Niantao, it'll be a never-ending source of trouble.

The four of them enjoyed a lively lunch together.

Seeing his wife and sister-in-law chatting so enthusiastically, Chu Yungui also joined Chu Junting's side and said:

"Brother, Changping is about to be married off to a foreign land. Father has said that she will be restored to her princess status. You've heard about that, haven't you?"

Chu Junting nodded, "Everyone already knew Changping's true identity before. Now that Changping is going to marry a foreign ruler, Father should naturally restore her identity."

Is there something wrong with you bringing this up suddenly?

"No." Chu Yungui shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with Changping, but there seems to be a problem with Wu Shengze."

Chu Junting frowned. "What's wrong with Wu Shengze?"

They had met Wu Shengze before and thought he was a good person. In addition, he had a childhood friendship with Changping, and since he had come to find her after so many years, they would definitely not mistreat her.

It hasn't been long since then, so how could things have changed again?

"Ever since Wu Yue'er learned that Wu Shengze had arrived, she has tried every means to see him."

The last attempt failed, but it seems they found another way, and the two did meet. As for what they talked about, nobody knows.

But ever since Wu Shengze went back, I heard that he has been having nightmares at night, unable to sleep well, and his overall energy and spirit have been getting worse and worse.

I happened to see Changping yesterday, and she told me about this. She was also worried about Wu Shengze's health. The imperial physician had examined him and only said that he hadn't rested well and needed to rest more, but the calming tea hadn't helped much.

Chu Yungui explained what he knew: Changping's real birth mother was no longer alive. Although she had an adoptive mother, she was marrying as a princess, so all the wedding preparations were being handled by the Empress Dowager.

He took Huan'er to visit his grandmother and mother yesterday, so he overheard a few more words.

"nightmare?"

Chu Junting thought about Wu Shengze's robust appearance; he really didn't seem like someone who would be plagued by nightmares.

"Could it be Wu Yue'er's doing? Don't underestimate Wu Yue'er just because she doesn't seem very capable; she has quite a few underhanded tricks up her sleeve."

Chu Yungui thought about the methods Wu Yue'er had used before; drugging someone wouldn't be difficult for her.

She might have been clinging to Wu Shengze as her lifeline, placing all her hopes on him, only to find that he refused to take her away. So, she hardened her heart and resorted to underhanded tactics against him.

Chu Junting and Chu Yungui exchanged a glance. What a coincidence! To have nightmares after just one meeting? The possibility of a conspiracy was indeed greater.

"Since this matter is so strange, we might as well investigate it. Wu Shengze must not be harmed."

Chu Junting's eyes were solemn. The situation in the Qi Yue Dynasty was very complicated. Compared to Wu Yue'er and her brother, Wu Shengze had a better relationship with them.

Even in the upcoming crown prince struggle of the Qi Yue Dynasty, if Wu Shengze wins, it would be good news for them at present.
