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

Chapter 974 Who do you think you are, elder?

Song Ruozhen was skilled at reading faces, and she could tell Zhu Niantao's temperament just by looking at her face.

This is the best opportunity for Gu Qingzhe, who comes from a humble background but wants to climb the social ladder. Ordinary people don't have this opportunity, but he was kicked out of his home and comes from a noble family.

If she wins the bet, she can become the third wife of the Gu family, thus achieving a meteoric rise in her fortunes.

So she didn't care about anything else, she just couldn't wait to get pregnant.

In Song Ruozhen's view, people strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill; everyone will make the best plan for themselves.

However, Zhu Niantao was a bit too hasty.

Gu Huan'er pursed her lips. She had grown up in the capital since she was a child. Although she couldn't compare to the people in the palace in terms of experience, she had seen a lot of things happening in the various mansions.

She had seen far too many concubines who were determined to rise in rank.

Back when my third uncle was in the household, there were girls who wanted to take advantage of him, but my maternal grandparents always liked my third aunt very much, so no matter what, no one could shake her position.

Now that her third aunt and third uncle have divorced, naturally no one cares about these matters anymore. However, the thought of such a person being her third aunt still sends chills down her spine.

How could you say that about me?

Zhu Niantao looked aggrieved. "I didn't ask for anything because I felt sorry for Sanlang."

You have no idea how miserable he was after leaving the Gu family. He was sick and had no one to take care of him...

“I didn’t see how unhappy he was, after all, he was able to have another child, so he is indeed quite busy,” Song Ruozhen said.

The bustling street was already crowded, and Gu Huan'er's pregnant belly was obvious. She was almost knocked down, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

After hearing the conversation, many people thought of Gu Qingzhe from the Gu family.

"Gu Qingzhe is really something. He was kicked out of his family and removed from the family register, yet he can still fool young girls. Now he even has a child. Tsk tsk."

"If you ask me, Gu Qingzhe's first wife was the one who was truly wronged. She had been cleaning up Gu Qingzhe's messes all along, and after the divorce, I heard that the mansion was now arranging marriages for her. But guess what happened?"

"What? Stop playing coy and just tell me!"

"As a result, Gu Qingzhe said that she was ungrateful and kicked him when he was down! She said that she divorced him when he was down on his luck and now she wants to find a good family again."

I initially thought Gu Qingzhe had it tough, but now that I see him, he even has a child of his own, and he still has the nerve to criticize others! I don't know where he gets the nerve!

Upon hearing that such a thing had happened, Song Ruozhen and the others' expressions changed.

"Has Third Uncle gone mad? Third Aunt has been more than kind to him. Besides, Third Aunt clearly suffered a lot of grievances before leaving, and he's actually turning around and accusing her?"

Gu Zhaoyuan was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment. How could a person be so shameless?

She didn't like her third uncle, but she liked her third aunt quite a bit. Even though her third aunt was divorced, she still felt that her third aunt had done nothing wrong and hoped that her third aunt could find a kind and understanding man in the future.

"Since you bumped into us, apologize and leave."

Song Ruozhen waved her hand. She had already witnessed Gu Qingzhe's vision and ability, so she didn't bother with him.

You want me to apologize?

Zhu Niantao pointed to herself, completely baffled.

Although she felt that Gu Qingzhe was too old and had been kicked out, which made him seem like a complete failure in everyone's eyes.

But he is, after all, a family man!

That's the Gu family, a family with an extraordinary status in the capital!

She had only passed by the Gu family's residence and knew how grand it was. Unfortunately, she had worked as a maid in the mansion and had been taken by the young master, but she had never managed to become a concubine.

Out of desperation, she happened to run into Gu Qingzhe. If she succeeded, she would no longer be an ordinary concubine; she could even become the third wife of the Gu family!

From now on, she'll have everything she wants, from the finest silks and satins to the most delicious pastries—she'll eat one and throw the rest away!

After all, Gu Qingzhe's niece is the Princess Consort of Yun, and his maternal niece is the Crown Princess. With such status, he can have whatever he wants in the future.

After she kept whispering in his ear and complaining that their child would have to be recognized by the family after birth, Gu Qingzhe finally decided to go back.

She had originally thought that since she was now an elder, the Crown Princess and the others would at least treat her with some respect, and that they would buy her more things after they found out she was pregnant.

Who would have thought that after I arrived, they would not only be so cold to me, but they would also expect me to apologize!

"You hit someone, shouldn't you apologize?"

Gu Huan'er really didn't know what to say. How could she not know such a basic principle of being a person?

"How dare you offend the Crown Princess and the Princess Consort? How many heads do you have? We're only asking you to apologize now, which is already being lenient!"

The maidservant beside Gu Huan'er had a cold face. She was just a concubine. She should have avoided her mistress. She didn't know where she got the nerve to act like an elder!

"me……"

Zhu Niantao was also a little flustered at this moment. She clenched her fists and didn't want to back down.

Once she returns to the Gu family, she will be an elder to these people. If she apologizes now, won't she become inferior to them in the future?

“I am your elder, and you are all so disrespectful. Aren’t you afraid of ruining your reputation if word gets out?”

I'm telling you, if Sanlang were here..."

"Snapped!"

Song Ruozhen raised her hand and slapped him.

"Make her pay for the broken things. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to come near us. They can do something like having an affair without a matchmaker. We don't even know if the child is Gu Sanlang's!"

Seeing that their master was angry, Bai Zhi and Qing Teng immediately took action and forced Zhu Niantao to apologize.

"Apologize!"

Zhu Niantao was stunned by the beating.

She never imagined that Song Ruozhen would actually make a move. She was thinking that since they were relatives, even if Song Ruozhen was the Crown Princess, she should still treat her with respect.

Because she is an elder!

However, when she was held back by Bai Zhi and the other two, looking at Song Ruozhen's stunningly beautiful yet dignified face, she suddenly realized that the person in front of her was the noble Crown Princess, not an ordinary lady from a noble family.

She could have her head slammed down the moment she said it.

"I was wrong, I will never do it again, please forgive me this time!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Looking at Zhu Niantao like this, Gu Huan'er and Gu Zhaoyuan felt that she really wouldn't shed tears until she saw the coffin.

Even if she were truly the third aunt, such an arrogant and domineering person would not be tolerated.

However, at that moment, an angry roar came.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Qingzhe rushed over angrily, shoving Bai Zhi aside and helping Zhu Niantao up, while glaring angrily at Song Ruozhen and the others:

"Are you trying to gang up on us?"
