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

When Chu Ruoyu heard what her mother and granddaughter Xinrou said, she nodded obediently, her eyes full of joy, and the fright she had felt when a group of people rushed in earlier was gone.

Five-year-old Chu Yunyun had a slightly worried look in his eyes. Even though he was still young, he knew that having a mistress was not a glorious thing, and having a child from a mistress was even more shameful.

Between him and his sister, his father usually favored his sister more.

Regardless of what Sun Xinrou and her two children felt, they still had to reach their destination.

Sun Xinrou and her two children were led by Wen Mei through the Marquis's mansion. The three of them couldn't help but look around, and with each glance, their excitement grew.

When the three of them arrived at the house where Marquis Wenxuan, Chu Mochen, was recuperating, Chu Yunyun and Chu Ruoyu went straight to Chu Mochen's direction as soon as they entered.

"father······"

Lin Yanran looked at Chu Mochen with a mocking gaze, the meaning clear: 'Not bowing upon meeting, what good upbringing.'

Feeling he had lost face in front of his wife, Chu Mochen immediately scolded the two children, "What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and panicked? Have you forgotten the rules I taught you?"

Sun Xinrou first looked incredulously at Chu Mochen, who was lying on the bed, and then at the noble woman sitting on the chaise lounge.

Sun Xinrou guessed that was the Lady of the Marquis, and fantasized that one day she could also become the Lady of the Marquis.

Sun Xinrou's mind was in turmoil, but she smiled and explained on behalf of the two children, "Please forgive us, Lord Marquis and Sister. Yun'er and Yu'er were just worried that Lord Marquis might have lost his manners. It was all out of filial piety from the children."

Lin Yanran raised her hand and slapped the arrogant guy across the face. Playing with her hand, she calmly warned, "Not just anyone can call me 'sister'."

Chu Yunyun and Chu Ruoyu were so frightened that they immediately ran to Sun Xinrou, crying, "Mother!"

Sun Xinrou reached out and embraced the two children. The three of them knelt pitifully on the ground, looking at Marquis Wenxuan, Chu Mochen, with hopeful eyes.

Even with Sun Xinrou and her two children watching, Chu Mochen wouldn't dare say that Sun Xinrou could call Lin Yanran "sister".

Chu Mochen could only cough lightly, "Madam is the daughter of Princess Changning, and has royal blood flowing through her veins. You really can't call her 'sister,' so please just call her 'Madam'!"

After thinking he had smoothed things over, Chu Mochen beckoned to the two children, "Yun'er, Yu'er, come and greet your mother!"

Lin Yanran reached out to stop them, "I haven't even had a sip of the tea offered by their aunt yet, so they can't call me mother."

Sun Xinrou, who had been kneeling, had transformed her initial envy and jealousy of Lin Yanran into hatred at this moment.

The idea of ​​Sun Xinrou replacing Lin Yanran had taken root in her heart.

The two children, Chu Yunyun and Chu Ruoyu, stood beside Chu Mochen, too scared to make a sound.

Chu Mochen knew that Lin Yanran was in a difficult position, but he also knew that it was customary for a concubine to serve tea to the principal wife upon entering the household.

He couldn't possibly fall out with Lin Yanran over something as trivial as Sun Xinrou. "Then Sun Xinrou, you go forward and offer tea first."

As soon as Chu Mochen gave the order, Mu Qing immediately brought out the tea.

Sun Xinrou politely stepped forward to serve tea, but as soon as her hand touched the teacup, she quickly withdrew it.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yanran's gaze towards Chu Mochen became even more blatantly mocking.

Chu Mochen... He had never thought that his mistress was so carefree and so stupid.

Chu Mochen gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Xinrou, "Mu Qing is my confidant."

Upon seeing this, Mu Qing quickly apologized, "It's my fault. I scalded the tea. I'll go and brew a fresh cup right away."

When Sun Xinrou served tea again, Lin Yanran couldn't help but warn, "This dress of mine is very expensive. If you dare to spill tea on me, you'll be going to see the King of Hell today."

Chu Mochen felt he had lost all face today and didn't want to see Sun Xinrou cause any more trouble. His wife had been a frequent visitor to the palace since childhood, and these actions would only make her laugh.

Chu Mochen then warned Sun Xinrou, "Serve the tea properly. If you cause any more trouble, it means you have no chance with our Marquis's mansion."

Chu Mochen was referring to "you," not "you all," and Sun Xinrou understood what he meant.

Even if they ask her to leave, she will have to leave alone; the two children will not be returned to her.

Sun Xinrou couldn't understand why the Marquis, who was so caring towards her outside, became indifferent to her at the Marquis's residence.

The more apprehensive she felt, the more steady her hand became in holding the teacup.

Lin Yanran took the teacup from her hand, pretended to take a sip, and then put it aside.

Then Lin Yanran gestured to Wenmei and handed the Guanyin statue that had been prepared to give a child to Sun Xinrou.

Lin Yanran instructed, "Now that you have become a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, you must abide by the duties of a concubine, serve the Marquis well, and it would be your merit to bear him many children."

Although Sun Xinrou was surprised that she was given an ordinary concubine instead of the noble concubine the Marquis had told her about before, she dared not cause any more trouble in front of this woman who was quick to take action.

She could only ask the Marquis in private, "This concubine will follow Madam's teachings."

Seeing that the concubine-taking ceremony was complete, Chu Mochen quickly signaled to Mu Qing with his eyes to bring Chu Yunyun and Chu Ruoyu, the brother and sister, over to pay their respects.

Lin Yanran looked at the two children kneeling in front of her. She never held a grudge against children for adult matters.

After all, these two children are beneficiaries who are competing with her children for resources, so she is in a dilemma.

Lin Yanran took the tea from the two children and drank it. "As your mother, I only have one request for you: if your older brothers bully you in the future, just bear with it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mochen said with displeasure, "Madam, what you're saying refers to me... and your child."

Lin Yanran is not a woman who lives off Chu Mochen's glory; she has always relied on the glory of the royal family. "There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. These illegitimate children cannot compare to my Xuan'er and Heng'er."

Seeing Lin Yanran's assertiveness, Chu Mochen compromised and said:

"Xuan'er and Heng'er are indeed noble, but Yu'er is my only daughter. You don't have any daughters either. Why don't you raise Yu'er under your care?"

Before Lin Yanran could even refuse, Sun Xinrou and Chu Ruoyu, mother and daughter, hugged each other tightly.

The two women hugged pitifully, and Sun Xinrou quickly kowtowed to Lin Yanran, "Madam, this is my only daughter. You can have whatever you want. Please, have mercy and don't take my daughter away!"

Chu Ruoyu charged at Lin Yanran like a cannonball. Lin Yanran didn't move and pushed Chu Ruoyu to the ground.

However, Lin Yanran held back, and Chu Ruoyu only fell down normally.

Lin Yanran looked at the mother and daughter with a cold smile, "I dare not raise such an unfilial daughter. She dares to lay a hand on me now. Who knows what kind of ingrate she will be in the future?"

After making her sarcastic remarks, Lin Yanran left with her entourage without even glancing at the group of people performing the opera.

Looking at his daughter who was still crying on the ground, Chu Mochen knew that after this incident, his wife would never agree to raise Yu'er on her own again.
