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

Chapter 780 Is it possible that I like you?

"Since you know Chu Qingli, why did you introduce her to Fourth Brother?"

Song Ruozhen looked at Song Zhiyu with suspicion. She knew her third brother too well. Just by looking at his expression, she could tell that his feelings for Chu Qingli were unusual, which made it even stranger.

"If you like it, then put in the effort yourself. Why introduce it to your fourth brother out of the blue?"

Song Zhiyu choked, then his face turned bright red, and he said, "Fifth Sister, don't talk nonsense, I didn't!"

“You have nothing wrong?” Song Ruozhen pointed at his face and said, “I really should get you a mirror to look at yourself. It’s hard for you to hide it from others, let alone me. That’s even more impossible.”

As she spoke, Song Ruozhen placed a hand on him, her expression unusually strange, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how, and forced back her disgust as she said:

"Third brother, you're not young anymore, you should think about yourself."

Besides, if the girl you like is introduced to someone else and she really becomes your brother's wife, can you stand seeing her every day?

"I think you've gone mad. What's going on in your head?"

Normally, she only thought that her third brother was too naive and easily deceived, but now, seeing his strange behavior, she realized that since she hadn't spent time with him for a while, some strange ideas had popped into his head.

You wouldn't think of something like this without having a stroke for at least ten years!

Song Zhiyu noticed that Song Ruozhen's gaze was becoming increasingly strange, and immediately realized her thoughts, so he quickly explained:

"Fifth sister, listen to me, I absolutely do not have any of those strange ideas!"

"Oh?" Song Ruozhen looked suspicious. "Then tell me in detail what exactly happened?"

"I do like her. I felt a little bit when I first saw her that day, but I didn't know her identity. I only found out recently."

As for introducing her to Jing Shen, it was just to help her out. Last time I saw her sneaking glances at Jing Shen at the teahouse, and she is also a close friend of my colleague's sister.

She must have wanted to know about Jing Shen, so she asked my colleague's sister. My colleague, thinking we were brothers, came to ask me, and that's how I found out she liked Jing Shen.

Song Zhiyu smiled, but the expression on his face looked particularly heartbreaking to Song Ruozhen.

"I was thinking that Jing Shen has never had anyone he likes, right? She's such a good girl, so I thought I'd let them meet. Maybe..."

As he spoke, Song Zhiyu said seriously, "You absolutely must not tell anyone that I like her. I've only met her once, and you can't mention it to Jing Shen either!"

Song Ruozhen patted Song Zhiyu and said, "Third brother, I always thought you were a blockhead, I didn't expect you to be into pure love?"

This is a story about falling in love at first sight, only to find out that the other person is in love with her own younger brother. Despite suppressing her feelings, she still wholeheartedly hopes to let the other person be with her.

“I know I’m not smart. Among the five of us siblings, you are all smart, and I’m the dumbest. I know that in my heart.”

"I was able to become an imperial bodyguard entirely thanks to you, Fifth Sister. It's normal that she doesn't think much of me, but I know she's a good girl, which is why I wanted to help her achieve her goal."

Song Zhiyu looked sincere. His parents had always said that he was the dumbest, but he didn't care. As long as his other brothers and sisters were smart, that was enough. He only had brute strength.

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback, then straightened her expression and said, "Third Brother, the reason you were able to become an Imperial Guard is because you have the ability, not because of me."

Song Zhiyu didn't react for a moment, "What?"

"Although it was my suggestion, the reason you were able to become a royal bodyguard is entirely due to your abilities!"

The duties of the Imperial Guards are not simple. Anyone without the ability cannot become one, let alone become a Second-Class Imperial Guard as soon as they join the force.

I heard from my father that you performed very well during your tenure, and you were not only frequently praised, but also promoted again.

"Think about it, there are so many imperial guards, yet you've risen through the ranks so quickly. This isn't because of our relationship."

Song Ruozhen smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Father and Mother are just joking around. Second Brother is so smart, he even became the top scholar in the imperial examination, but Father and Mother still often say he's blind."

You weren't born for academics; if there weren't no wars to fight right now, you would definitely be a very capable general!

As Song Zhiyu listened, his eyes reddened, and he suddenly hugged Song Ruozhen. "Fifth sister, what you said, sob sob, really touched me!"

Song Ruozhen suddenly remembered that her third brother was usually easily moved by emotions, so she reached out and patted him on the back, comforting him:

"Third brother, have you asked fourth brother if he knows Chu Qingli?"

Song Zhiyu: "He said he had met almost all the ladies and young ladies in the capital, as well as the young masters of noble families, but he had no interaction with Miss Chu."

Upon hearing the words "no common ground," Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow slightly. "Have you ever considered another possibility: that the person she actually likes is you?"

"Impossible." Song Zhiyu shook his head subconsciously. "She even asked someone to come to me to find out Jing Shen's preferences. How could she possibly like me?"

"But you and Fourth Brother have the same face!"

Song Ruozhen blinked. "Although you are stronger than Fourth Brother, he has been practicing martial arts in his spare time lately. It wouldn't be surprising if someone who doesn't know you well didn't recognize you two!"

"Besides, as you yourself said, Miss Chu has rarely gone out in the past two years since her fiancé died on the battlefield. You didn't know her before, and she had no connection with our household."

Maybe she doesn't even know you and Fourth Brother look alike. After you saved her the first time, she happened to run into Fourth Brother the second time and might have mistaken him for you.

Song Zhiyu clicked his tongue, "Really? Besides, she's so beautiful, I..."

"Are you insulting your own brother and also insulting Fourth Brother?" Song Ruozhen asked helplessly. "Third Brother, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about yourself?"

"None of my four older brothers are bad-looking. My fourth brother usually has a lot of girls around him."

"That's Jing Shen, not me." Song Zhiyu said helplessly. Although he usually refused to admit defeat, there were indeed many people who liked Lao Si, and they were much better than him.

Song Ruozhen sighed, "Fourth Brother, why don't you go out more often and attend various banquets?"

"Don't spend all your time either at home or at the martial arts training ground. You only see a bunch of men every day, and you don't even see a girl. Many people only know that we have four brothers, but they've hardly ever seen you."

Her third brother was obsessed with martial arts; all he could think about was practicing. He was surrounded by men and had no idea how much his face was worth.

It's not really his fault for not getting it over the years; it's really hard to get it when you're in that kind of environment all the time...
