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

Chapter 726 Hesitation in My Heart

Hearing Yun Nianchu's question, Meng Qin looked embarrassed and explained:

"Actually, I don't know either. I was just surprised when I heard the news. I couldn't understand why Consort Shu would bring up this marriage."

Besides, my mother only just told me this news; I don't even know if His Highness Prince Yang knows about it.

Yun Nianchu pondered for a moment and said, "She should know, right? Otherwise, how could it be possible that Consort Shu would come directly to discuss this with your mother without even finding out what Prince Yang was thinking?"

“His Highness Prince Yang must know,” Song Ruozhen said with certainty. “In my opinion, Prince Yang definitely doesn’t want to marry Wu Yue’er anymore, but Wu Yue’er probably still wants to be Prince Yang’s consort.”

Meng Qin met Song Ruozhen's gaze and immediately understood.

"You mean His Highness Prince Yang doesn't want to marry Wu Yue'er, but he's worried that if Wu Yue'er asks the Emperor for a marriage decree, he'll be left with no choice."

So, that's why he wants to marry me, so he won't have to marry Wu Yue'er, right?

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly. Meng Qin was her good friend, so she naturally had to explain things clearly.

Actually, judging from her interactions with Prince Yang, he is a good person with a clear understanding of life. Judging from his appearance, he is also a kind and honest person.

If Meng Qin were to marry him, he would surely treat her well.

However, proposing marriage at this time certainly has the air of being a keyboard warrior.

Whether Meng Qinjie minds or not depends on her own thoughts.

Meng Qin's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "So he's just grasping at straws in his desperation, so he's randomly getting engaged to some girl, and I'm just that random girl he picked?"

“It’s not necessarily true that he just picked someone randomly.” Song Ruozhen shook her head. “As a prince, there are plenty of suitable girls in the entire capital, but he chose you. There must be other reasons for that.”

Besides, didn't you say you've known each other since childhood? Perhaps there's still some childhood bond between you.

Meng Qin's mind kept replaying the past years. In fact... when she was a young girl, she had also thought about Prince Yang.

As a child, she didn't care much about his status and only thought of him as a good older brother. Later, she realized that he would become a noble prince in the future, and she was not the well-bred lady that everyone praised. She only knew how to fight and was ridiculed by many men as a tigress.

At the time, she thought those men were really annoying because of what they said about her, so she took the opportunity to teach them all a lesson!

They're all awful, they deserve it!

Meng Qin fell silent. The incident had happened so suddenly that she couldn't quite figure out what she was thinking.

Yun Nianchu thought that it was going too far for Prince Yang to want Meng Qin to be a shield. Marriage is a major event in one's life, how can it be so casual?

His problem is solved, but what about Meng Qin?

However, when she tried to say a few more words, Song Ruozhen shook her head, signaling her not to say anything more.

"Ruozhen, thank you for telling me. I understand the situation now, but I still need to think about it carefully," Meng Qin said gratefully.

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "Don't keep everything to yourself. If there's anything you really don't understand, you can not only discuss it with us and your family, but you can also ask His Highness Prince Yang directly."

After all, he's the one who knows best what you want to know, and only by understanding his thoughts can you truly feel at ease.

Meng Qin was slightly taken aback, realizing that she was being told to go and ask Prince Yang for clarification, but the thought of going to Prince Yang herself made her feel a little embarrassed.

How could she possibly bring it up?

“If it’s inconvenient for you, I should be able to help. Just think about it yourself. If you need my help, just send someone to let me know,” Song Ruozhen said.

Inviting them individually is indeed inappropriate, but if they happen to invite both of them to a small gathering, then it's a natural progression.

Meng Qin naturally understood Song Ruozhen's meaning and nodded repeatedly, "Ruozhen, you are so thoughtful!"

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "Of course."

After Meng Qin left, Yun Nianchu couldn't help but ask, "Ruozhen, why didn't you let me speak just now?"

I think what I said isn't entirely unreasonable. His Highness Prince Yang couldn't marry the princess, and now he wants to marry Meng Qin? Isn't that going too far?

"We've known Meng Qin for so long, and you and I both know her personality very well."

It's not that no one has tried to match her with men in the past, but you know very well what her attitude is whenever those men are mentioned.

Yun Nianchu nodded, "In the past, whenever these things were mentioned, she would get so angry that she would jump up and down. Before we could even say anything, she would have already listed a whole bunch of other people's shortcomings."

“Think again about Meng Qin’s attitude today,” Song Ruozhen said, raising an eyebrow.

Yun Nianchu was taken aback at first, then her eyes widened, "So... Meng Qin likes Prince Yang?"

Whether he likes it or not, I don't know, but at least I can be sure that Prince Yang is different from those other men.

"I've already explained this to her clearly. She knows the whole story, and I'm sure Madam Meng knows as well. They will decide what to do," Song Ruozhen said.

Yun Nianchu suddenly realized and sighed, "Luckily you stopped me just now, otherwise if Meng Qin already liked Prince Yang and I kept saying bad things about him, it would have been awkward later."

"That's not necessarily the case, but I think... this marriage happened inexplicably, but it might actually happen."

Yun Nianchu found this matter quite amusing, "Indeed, everyone's fate is predetermined."

Previously, Meng Qin always looked utterly opposed whenever marriage was mentioned, but this time it wasn't opposition, but rather confusion.

“Let’s wait and see. I reckon His Highness Prince Yang is the most anxious right now. I’ll ask him about Prince Yang’s character when I get back.”

In his previous life, Prince Yang was deceived by Wu Yue'er and did not have a good ending.

Because Wu Yue'er was obsessed with Lin Zhiyue, she ended up marrying Prince Yang. Even after marriage, she didn't know how to restrain herself. Prince Yang was cheated on, and on the one hand, he hated Wu Yue'er, and on the other hand, he became an enemy of Lin Zhiyue.

As the male protagonist of the original book, Lin Zhiyue naturally did not have a good ending after offending him, and eventually died at the hands of Prince Liang and Lin Zhiyue.

Now many things have changed, and the fate of King Yang will naturally be rewritten.

……

the other side.

Just as Song Ruozhen had guessed, Prince Yang was extremely anxious at this moment.

He had just come out of the palace when he learned that Wu Yue'er had come to the Prince's Mansion to find him. Wasn't that like seeing a ghost?

"I clearly refused her invitation today, yet she still came all this way. What is the meaning of this? Isn't my attitude clear enough?"

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that after all these incidents, the other princes are avoiding you like the plague, so they've set their sights on you..."
