Transmigration into a Book: My Lord, Your Wife Has Taken Another Concubine for You

Although Chu Yunxuan wanted to leave the things for his mother to spend herself, circumstances were beyond his control. He was just a child of about ten years old and didn't really have much savings.

He has no manpower, no money, and no connections; all he has is a bellyful of anger.

Chu Yunxuan thought that in this second life, he would not only not protect his mother, but also ask her for things.

Even with his thick skin, his face still turned a little red.

Seeing that Chu Yunxuan was a little embarrassed, Lin Yanran didn't expose him and simply had two identical small boxes brought up.

Lin Yanran pointed to the two boxes and explained, "I roughly divided those things into two parts like this. These two boxes contain the list."

There's no such thing as absolute fairness; it's pretty much the same everywhere!

You two brothers each choose one; once you've made your move, there's no going back. If you have any complaints, just blame your bad luck!

Upon hearing Lin Yanran's words, Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Mother, we are not like that."

Lin Yanran didn't react much to this. Who knows what's going on in people's hearts?

"Oh, which of you two will choose first?"

Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng politely deferred to each other, saying:

"Big brother, you choose first!"

"Second brother, you choose first!"

After they finished speaking, neither of them moved, each indicating to the other to choose first.

Seeing this, Lin Yanran made a decision for the two of them, saying, "There is an order of seniority, so Xuan'er should choose first! They're about the same anyway."

Seeing his mother say this, Chu Yunxuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly reached for a box that was closest to him. "I'll take this one. Thank you, Mother."

Chu Yunheng happily picked up the other one. Chu Yunheng was an impatient person, and as soon as he got it, he opened it and saw the thick sheet. He exclaimed "Wow!" excitedly.

Seeing her youngest son's eyes shining, Lin Yanran was in a good mood. She liked this kind of sincere child.

However, Lin Yanran still poured cold water on the idea, saying, "You can only keep the list for now. These good things will only be given to you after you pass the second-class exam or get married."

Chu Yunheng hugged the list and grinned foolishly, "Then I'm happy too."

Chu Yunxuan, who was standing next to him, was also quite surprised. He had expected there to be many, but he hadn't expected there to be so many.

Especially after he opened his own box, his surprise deepened; it contained everything imaginable: silver, jewelry, houses, shops, estates, and ancient books.

Furthermore, there are many valuable items here that his father's private treasury did not contain after he inherited the title in his previous life.

Thinking about who benefited from all these good things in his past life, Chu Yunxuan's eyes became even more profound.

Looking at the jewelry on the list, Chu Yunxuan sincerely said, "Mother, I don't need any of this jewelry. I'm not married yet, so please keep it!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunheng wholeheartedly agreed with his elder brother's words, "Mother, I'll give you all the jewelry here as well."

Lin Yanran waved her hand dismissively at Chu Yunxuan and his brother, "I appreciate your filial piety. But you two should keep the things yourselves!"

Your mother has so many good things! There's no way she could possibly wear so many.

You two should keep these for your wives or daughters later.

"If you two really care, when you grow up and are able to afford it yourselves, I'll be happy to buy you anything."

The original owner had a generous dowry, and she had managed it very well over the years, so she really didn't lack these things.

Chu Yunheng excitedly made promises to Lin Yanran, "Mother, just wait, your son will buy you lots of jewelry."

Looking at his younger brother vying for favor, Chu Yunxuan felt a pang of longing for the quiet, reserved brother he had in his previous life. Such was the way things were in the struggle for maternal love:

"Mom, just wait. Your son will definitely grow up before your brother, and then he'll buy it for you."

At this moment, Chu Yunxuan had already figured out how to manage what he had in his hands and how to quickly build up his own power.

He wanted to curb his father's behavior, but that couldn't be done by just making threats.

Lin Yanran encouraged her children's thoughts, saying, "I'm looking forward to seeing how you two brothers will be filial."

After Lin Yanran finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and turned her gaze to her youngest son, Chu Yunheng, "Aren't you going to be late for school?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunheng immediately stood up, placed the box on the table in front of Lin Yanran, and hurriedly bowed, "Mother, please keep it safe for me."

Then Chu Yunheng hurriedly left with his servant. As he led his men outside, he didn't forget to shout loudly:

"Mother, elder brother, I will come back tonight to have dinner with you both."

Looking at his younger brother Chu Yunheng's impulsive and unrestrained nature, Chu Yunxuan's smile was full of doting affection.

Seeing that her youngest son, Chu Yunheng, had left, Lin Yanran also began to urge her eldest son on, "You should go and do your own thing too! I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap."

He was worried that his mother would be upset, so he planned to spend the afternoon with her. However, seeing her condition, he figured she probably didn't need his company, so he obediently bowed and took his leave.

After Chu Yunxuan left, Lin Yanran went to the inner room for a nap. She wasn't just being perfunctory; she genuinely had a habit of taking naps.

In her previous life, Lin Yanran was very ambitious from a young age in order to fight for the inheritance with her illegitimate son. However, after all those years, she got tired of that kind of life where she had to think ten steps ahead for every one step she took.

If she hadn't been so exhausted and had so many emotions she wanted to vent, Lin Yanran wouldn't have fallen in love with extreme sports, and she wouldn't have met such a tragic end.

So in this life, she just wants to take good care of the original owner's dowry and live a leisurely retirement.

Of course, she also owed the original owner a debt of gratitude. If the original owner hadn't given her her body, she wouldn't have had the chance to live again.

Therefore, she will treat the original owner's son as her own son and protect them as they grow up.

Chu Yunxuan returned to his Qingyun Courtyard, where Qian Duo and Qian Lai were already waiting for him.

They had already found out everything that had happened in the manor these past few days, and when the young master returned, they told him everything they had learned.

As for what they can't find out, there's nothing they can do about it.

After all, their heir is only a teenager, and he spent most of his time as a companion in the palace. He has not cultivated any influence in his household, so it is normal that he cannot find out much.

Upon hearing Qian Duo and Qian Lai's report, Chu Yunxuan reached out and rubbed his furrowed brows. He was still not used to the feeling of being treated like an impermanent blind man.

Chu Yunxuan could only force himself to accept his feeling of weakness. Now he felt that the harsh words he had said to his father that morning were like a joke.

No matter how fierce or reckless a toothless wolf cub's expression is, it's all for naught.

After calming down for a while, Chu Yunxuan thought about his future path and decided that for the time being, he should still be a slightly more obedient son in front of his father.

If you have no power to resist, no matter what he thinks, you still have to endure it.
