Back then, the original owner even asked Song Zhijing jealously whether Zhang Shuer was prettier or she was prettier, and he pretended to be serious: Which one is Zhang Shuer?

The original owner pointed it out to her, and he laughed and said it was nothing special. In his heart, she would always be the most beautiful one, and he wouldn't even glance at the other girls.

Σ_(???」∠) Ugh!

Everyone was shocked again, especially Song Zhijing and Madam Xu: Why has Li Ruo's personality changed after she woke up?

Li Ruo: It's almost the end of the world, who's going to maintain the original owner's infatuated, weak, and simp persona with you?

The bride felt uneasy under her gaze, and tugged at Song Zhijing's sleeve coquettishly, hiding behind him.

Song Zhi frowned and glared at Li Ruo, "Go back to your room first."

There's no reason to interrupt a wedding that's already halfway through.

Not only would he lose face, but the Prince of Runan would also not let him off the hook, and all the connections he had worked so hard to build would be destroyed.

Li Ruo is gentle and not afraid, but the old lady Li is unruly and difficult to deal with.

Madam Xu also came over. After a moment of surprise, she smiled kindly and said, "Good news, good news, double happiness! Aruo has just woken up and shouldn't be exposed to the wind. Xianglian, why don't you come and help your mistress back?"

Xianglian was originally the original owner's maid, but after the original owner fell into a coma, she felt there was no way out and followed Madam Xu. It was the original owner's grandmother who took care of her granddaughter every day, giving her massages, wiping her back, and telling her stories.

"Miss--"

Li Ruo shook off Xianglian's hand and looked at Madam Xu.

The book says that this person has a face as kind as a Bodhisattva, but a heart as poisonous as arsenic.

What thief? It was clearly her who had the original owner smashed so that the daughter of the Prince of Runan could be moved to a new seat. The intention was to kill her, but the original owner only fell into a coma. And because Old Lady Li arrived quickly, she was not allowed to carry out a second attack, allowing the original owner to live for half a year.

At this point, can you still pretend nothing happened?

Li Ruo smiled at her.

Ms. Xu felt a little uneasy.

"Song Zhijing, how can you do this to my Ruo'er? Ruo'er has only been sick for half a year, and her father and brothers are still alive!"

Despite her advanced age, hunched back, and lack of teeth, Grandma Li speaks clearly and with a strong voice.

Song Zhi was momentarily stunned by her outburst. Facing so many guests, he felt somewhat embarrassed. "Grandmother, you flatter me. I didn't know Ruo'er had suddenly woken up. I thought she—"

Madam Xu quickly tried to calm her down, saying, "Grandmother-in-law, please don't get angry. Let's talk inside. There are too many people here, and it's too noisy for us to hear each other."

“If you can’t hear me, I can speak louder.” Old Mrs. Li glared at Mrs. Xu. “How did you raise your son? My son is not even dead yet, and he’s already in a hurry to remarry.”

The sound was deafening.

Guests who were sitting close to each other had to cover their ears.

Ms. Xu: "It wasn't a second marriage."

Old Mrs. Li: "How did you raise your son? My son is still alive, and he's already in a hurry to take a concubine."

Xu: ...

“A concubine?” Zhang Shu’er seemed extremely aggrieved. “I am the daughter of the Prince of Runan. I am not a concubine. My husband clearly married me with the respect due to a wife.”

Song Zhijing felt utterly overwhelmed.

With a displeased expression, he looked at Li Ruo opposite him and said, "There is a precedent in the Great Yin Dynasty for having a concubine as a secondary wife."

Li Ruo didn't look at him because a voice suddenly rang in her mind.
