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

Chapter 901 Lord Qi Has Arrived

Zhao Xiaoniang didn't react for a moment after hearing Song Ruozhen's words.

After realizing what was happening, she angrily shouted, "You little bitch, you're calling me inhuman?"

"Young lady, stop talking!"

Qi Yunxi hurriedly stopped his mother, his expression full of panic. He never expected that Song Jingheng could invite the Crown Princess.

Despite the numerous conflicts that had occurred between them before, Song Jingheng had never asked anyone from General Song's Mansion to come out. He had even investigated this matter and learned that although the two families were relatives, their relationship was not very good. That was why he could bully Song Jingheng with impunity.

Who would have thought that Song Jingheng would only suddenly invite him over now that he was about to get engaged to Huang Xiangxiang?

"Yunxi, why are you stopping me? Do you think we're afraid of her?"

Zhao Xiaoniang looked displeased. "They're obviously not presentable people. They think they can impress us just because they dress decently!"

"Young lady, you can't say such things! She's the Crown Princess!"

Qi Yunxi broke out in a cold sweat; Song Ruozhen's face was just too distinctive.

He was just a son of a concubine in the Qi family, and he didn't attend many events, but he did see the King of Chu propose to Song Ruozhen at the lantern festival.

Even just a glance from afar tells you she's a great beauty!

Upon connecting the dots, he realized the woman before him was none other than the Queen Consort of the King of Chu!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoniang was stunned for a moment, as if struck by lightning. When she looked at Song Ruozhen again, her eyes had changed.

This is actually the Crown Princess?

Song Ruozhen sat quietly, observing Zhao Xiaoniang's transformation from arrogance to panic in just a short moment.

"She's the Crown Princess?"

Zhao Xiaoniang asked Qi Yunxi again, still unable to believe that what she had heard was true.

The Huang family is just a merchant family, how could they possibly know someone like the Crown Princess?

Qi Yunxi nodded repeatedly, realizing that this matter was probably not going to be easy to resolve today.

“Your Highness, my mother stays in the mansion all day and is blind to your greatness. She has offended you greatly and I hope you will be magnanimous.”

Song Ruozhen glanced at Qi Yunxi, "What if I said... I didn't?"

"What do you think should be the punishment for this serious disrespect towards the Crown Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoniang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately knelt down.

"Pfft."

"Your Highness, I really didn't recognize you. I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me. I will never do it again."

Zhao Xiaoniang's face turned pale. This was the Crown Princess!

Thinking about the words she had just uttered, she felt like her head was about to explode. Not to mention that the Crown Princess's husband was the Prince of Chu, a notorious killer!

Although she didn't understand these things, she had heard the master mention them and knew how ruthless Chu Junting was. He had spent so many years on the battlefield and could be described as a mass murderer.

If I knew all this, I would know what my fate would be...

Song Jingheng had witnessed Zhao Xiaoniang's meanness before, after all, he had seen what kind of person Qi Yunxi was.

This guy usually acts all high and mighty, but he's actually selfish and mean. Xiangxiang knew what kind of person he was before, but now she's suddenly devoted to him, which is the strangest thing.

However, despite his extreme disgust for the two men, he had no choice but to endure it.

Only today... he suddenly felt that having his cousin's support made him feel exceptionally good.

"Drag him away and slap him," Song Ruozhen said coldly.

Fortunately, her father did not take any concubines; these women were all capable of causing trouble.

Judging from Zhao Xiaoniang's foul mouth, it's easy to guess what Song Jingheng had gone through before, which shows his true feelings for Huang Xiangxiang.

Bai Zhi dragged Zhao Xiaoniang out directly.

Despite Zhao Xiaoniang's pleas and struggles, she was like a little chick in Bai Zhi's hands, completely powerless to resist.

Soon, a loud slap was heard from outside the door.

The Huang couple exchanged a silent glance. Just hearing that sound was painful. In comparison, the Crown Princess had been truly lenient with them before…

Otherwise, both of their faces would get slapped until they were swollen.

Qi Yunxi watched helplessly as his youngest daughter was beaten, standing there sweating profusely, unable to do anything to help.

If he dared to speak up, he would probably be beaten up too, so he could only send someone back to get reinforcements.

The room fell silent.

Song Ruozhen sat there calmly, neither speaking nor showing any sign of urgency.

Anyway, the outcome of this matter is still uncertain until Huang Xiangxiang wakes up.

Of all the people, Song Jingheng was the most relaxed. Since his cousin was there, he didn't seem to have anything to worry about. He increasingly wondered if his cousin was silly.

My cousin is such a good friend. My sister used to always get along with her. If I could get on her good side, I can't even imagine how happy I would be.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel disgusted with his father, who really had no sense of propriety at all.

What's the use of just doing business? There are so many powerful families in the capital. If they only have money, any excuse they make up can make them suffer.

But if someone in your family is an official, then it's a different story.

If my father had been smarter back then and had latched onto a powerful backer, their business wouldn't have fallen to this state.

It's a pity I was born too late, and I didn't have the chance to change all of this!

Not long after, another burst of hurried footsteps could be heard outside.

"Who else is coming now?"

When Huang Zhi heard that someone was coming, his heart skipped a beat. He hoped that no one else would come today, because his heart couldn't take the shock of anyone.

"stop!"

Outside the door, a middle-aged man's stern shout came out, followed by Zhao Xiaoniang's aggrieved sobs.

"Master, you've finally arrived."

The moment Zhao Xiaoniang saw Lord Qi, it was as if she had seen a savior, and large tears rolled down her cheeks.

Lord Qi looked at Zhao Xiaoniang, whose face had been swollen like a pig's head, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes. His gaze then fell on Bai Zhi, who had made the move.

Bai Zhi, on the other hand, looked completely matter-of-fact, saying, "There are still ten slaps left to be given."

She was a martial arts practitioner, so her blows were naturally heavier than those of ordinary people. But she had someone count each of the thirty slaps, so there was absolutely no mistake.

"Master, she's trying to kill me!"

Zhao Xiaoniang trembled. She had slapped others before, but this slap was just too painful!

Her face was so swollen and the skin was broken, and she only got twenty slaps. If she had gotten thirty slaps, wouldn't her face have been smashed to pieces?

Lord Qi glanced at Zhao Xiaoniang and strode into the house.

He naturally didn't bother to talk to a maid like Bai Zhi; the problem still lay with the Crown Princess!
