"Ran'er, don't worry. You're the only one in my heart. Xin Rou was just an accident. Even if Xin Rou enters the manor, she'll only be a concubine. It won't affect my feelings for you in the slightest."

Marquis Wenxuan, Chu Mochen, looked at his wife, Lin Yanran, with what he thought was a deeply affectionate gaze.

Lin Yanran had already cursed this bastard and his ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart. She didn't give her so-called husband any face whatsoever either.

"An accident? What kind of accident can happen again and again? To produce two children of different ages at once? And a concubine? If I didn't kill those vile women, you should be burning incense for your ancestors, Marquis."

Chu Mochen was taken aback when he saw his wife being so assertive. It had been many years since he had heard his wife address him as "this palace" in front of him.

Chu Mochen felt that the madam simply loved him too much, and being favored naturally made him fearless.

He pretended not to understand the meaning behind Lin Yanran's words, selectively feigning ignorance, and asked, "Ran'er means, you're willing to raise those two children under your care?"

As for Sun Xinrou, Chu Mochen felt that it was already an honor for her to give birth to his child, and whether Sun Xinrou lived or died was not that important.

If the lady can accept these two children, she can certainly accept him having concubines in the future. Wouldn't there be a shortage of beauties then? Chu Mochen's purpose in keeping mistresses is to allow him to take concubines whenever he wants.

When Chu Mochen was young, in order to secure his position as the heir apparent amidst the threats from his younger brothers, he made a promise never to take a concubine after marrying Lin Yanran.

Now that his younger brothers are no longer capable of doing anything, he is naturally unwilling to stay with his wife alone.

Lin Yanran sneered. She wasn't the original owner of this body, so why should she believe in the bullshit idea of ​​"marrying a chicken and following the chicken"? If she was made to suffer, Lin Yanran wouldn't tolerate it.

Her identity is that of the only daughter of the emperor's own sister, and in addition to being a first-rank noblewoman, she also holds the title of Princess Yixian.

Lin Yanran wasn't angry, but her tone was a little harsher:

"Chu Mochen, don't push your luck. If you dare to bring those three wretches into the manor today without my permission, I will immediately go to the palace and cry to my uncle, the Emperor."

"Then I'll see if you, Marquis Wenxuan, can endure a life of hardship with your concubine."

Chu Mochen definitely couldn't let his wife make a big fuss about this, otherwise, if his cruel mother-in-law, Princess Changning, found out, he'd probably be beaten so badly he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a month.

"Ran'er, this is a family matter between the two of us, so there's no need to trouble the Emperor! I know you've been wronged in this matter, and I promised back then that I would never take a concubine."

But over the years, Cangming's Xun Gui has openly and secretly mocked me for being afraid of my wife, and privately talked about me as a tigress. I felt uncomfortable hearing this, which is why I made a mistake for a moment.

But what's done is done, and we have to deal with it eventually.

"What do you want in return for accepting her and her two children? I'll meet any condition you set."

Fortunately, Lin Yanran is not the original owner of this body, otherwise she would have been driven mad by this shameless scumbag.

The current Lin Yanran certainly wouldn't be so dramatic about love; the man's heart has changed, and protecting her interests is the best option.

"First: Tomorrow you will submit a memorial to establish Xuan'er as the heir, and then divide your private treasury among our two children!"

Second: Sun Xinrou cannot enter the household as a concubine of high rank; she can only enter as an ordinary concubine.

After Lin Yanran finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Chu Mochen, her eyes seeming to say, "See how easy I am to talk to."

Lin Yanran is a transmigrator. The original owner of this body was led by her eldest son to the Lantern Festival temple fair, where she discovered Chu Mochen, who claimed to have official business to attend to, accompanying a woman and two children to the temple fair.

After returning to the manor and ordering an investigation, the original owner took the investigation results, buried himself in the blankets, and cried all night, eventually crying himself to death.

Lin Yanran, who had just successfully won a inheritance battle among a bunch of sons born to mistresses in the modern world, went on a extreme bike ride to celebrate in her joy, but an accident caused her to fall off a cliff.

The moment Lin Yanran fell off the cliff, she had only one thought: she couldn't go back for dinner.

Fortunately, Lin Yanran's biological mother had long since passed away, and she had already made a will to donate her assets, so her so-called younger brothers would not benefit from it.

As for his bedridden father, he has more than a dozen filial sons!

When Lin Yanran woke up again, she had become the same-named Lady Hou in a novel she had read called "The Concubine's Glory and the Husband's Nobility".

Lin Yanran accepted this new identity with great ease, because before Lin Yanran woke up, the original owner had already said goodbye to her in her dream.

The original owner felt that Marquis Wenxuan had betrayed their love, and she wanted to make sure that Marquis Wenxuan could never find her again, neither in heaven nor on earth.

Lin Yanran felt that the original owner was seriously ill, but before she could persuade the original owner, the original owner disappeared without hesitation, without mentioning what would happen to her two sons.

When Lin Yanran woke up, she became Lin Yanran with all of the original owner's memories.

After hearing Lin Yanran's request, Chu Mochen agreed without hesitation:

"I will do whatever Madam says. Tomorrow I will submit a memorial to establish our Xuan'er as the heir."

Chu Mochen agreed so readily mainly because he used to ask the original owner of the body for money and things whenever he needed something. He didn't need the things in his private treasury.

Besides, Chu Mochen thought that his wife had always been generous to him, and he could coax her back in a few days. As for the title, it would definitely be for his and his wife's son; otherwise, the royal family wouldn't have agreed.

Thinking about all this, Chu Mochen's expression showed no sign of reluctance whatsoever.

Lin Yanran disdainfully slapped Chu Mochen's hand away from hers, stood up, wiped her hands with a handkerchief in annoyance, and then calmly said, "Let's go!"

Chu Mochen felt a fleeting sense of loss as he watched his wife's actions. However, he quickly shook off the feeling and looked at Lin Yanran with considerable confusion: "Where are we going?"

"Go and move the Marquis's private treasury. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can let Sister Xinrou enter the manor, right?" Lin Yanran's tone was sarcastic, but she wasn't sad at all.

As for the original novel's heroine, Sun Xinrou, wanting to enter the mansion as a concubine, Lin Yanran wasn't afraid at all.

Being a concubine in a wealthy and powerful family is never an easy job.

In the original book, Lin Yanran believed that Sun Xinrou's ability to become the so-called ultimate winner was mainly due to the original owner's early death.

In the original book, although the original owner never discovered that Chu Mochen was keeping a mistress, Chu Mochen kept subtly hinting at the fact that the original owner was taking a concubine.

The original owner, of course, vehemently disagreed.

Therefore, Sun Xinrou and her two children were always raised outside the mansion.

By the time the original owner discovered Sun Xinrou, Sun Xinrou's son had already passed the imperial examination and become a scholar.

Chu Mochen was also extremely annoyed by Lin Yanran, who had always refused to agree to him taking a concubine. He also felt that his mistress was a promising talent, so he forcefully took Sun Xinrou into the mansion as a concubine.

The original owner was depressed and heartbroken, and passed away after only half a year.

After that, Chu Mochen never remarried. Sun Xinrou became the housekeeper and the de facto mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and that's where the book ends.

Lin Yanran didn't know whether the title later fell to the original owner's son or to Sun Xinrou's son.

But now that she's here, Chu Mochen can go wherever he wants, but the title and benefits must belong to 'her son'.

Chu Mochen stared in disbelief at Lin Yanran, who was already striding out the door. "You actually agreed to let me take a concubine so easily? You're not trying to steal my private funds, are you?"
