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

Chu Mochen was really annoyed by Sun Xinrou. Today had made him so disgusted with stupidity that he was having a fit.

"You may not realize what a chance you just missed. I hope you and your daughter won't regret it later."

Seeing that Lin Yanran had already left with her people, Sun Xinrou became bolder and changed her sobbing into wailing, "My lord, Yun'er and Yu'er are flesh and blood of my body, I can't bear to part with them."

When Chu Yunyun and Chu Ruoyu saw their mother and granddaughter Xinrou crying, they also burst into tears.

The whole house was filled with the cries of the mother and her two children. Chu Mochen didn't feel sorry for them; he just thought it was incredibly noisy.

Chu Mochen has never been a considerate person, but after today's ordeal, he can see that he has spoiled Sun Xinrou too much.

The Marquis's family is wealthy and indeed holds a title, but this wealth and title can only be passed on to the wife's two children; otherwise, the royal family would never agree.

If something really happens to Xuan'er and Heng'er, the royal family isn't stupid, and the entire Marquis's mansion will be in deep trouble.

So Chu Mochen scolded with a dark face, "Alright, since you can't bear to part with the children, then the two children will be raised under your care!"

However, I warn you, Madam is the daughter of Princess Changning, and she herself holds the title of Princess. The Empress Dowager in the palace will also summon Madam from time to time.

In the Marquis's mansion, whatever the lady says goes; if she beats you, you have to endure it.

As for Yun'er and Yu'er, you two must respect and love your elder brother. If he tells you to go east, you two are not allowed to go west. Otherwise, if he punishes you, you two will have to bear the consequences yourselves.

Sun Xinrou had neither expected that the lady's background was so powerful, nor that the Marquis would be so ruthless towards her and her two children.

This time, Sun Xinrou cried out in genuine sorrow, "My lord, it doesn't matter how the madam treats me, but Yun'er and Yu'er are just two children. If their elder brother, who is born of the principal wife, bullies them..."

"Then they'll just have to suffer it themselves."

After saying this, Chu Mochen saw the two children crying pitifully and looked into Sun Xinrou's eyes to instruct her: "This Marquis's mansion will belong to the heir Chu Yunxuan in the future. This title will either be his or be taken back by the royal family."

So don't think about those random things; it's pointless anyway.

The wounds on my body were inflicted by Princess Changning. If anything happens to your two children, Princess Changning will order the death of you and your children.

The Emperor might just punish the Princess by deducting an extra year's salary.

Therefore, if you cause trouble, I, for the sake of my entire clan, cannot protect you and your two children.

Just now, I suggested that my wife raise Yu'er, partly for Yu'er's future and partly to tie you and your two children to my side. Unfortunately, you are foolish.

Therefore, once you and your two children are inside the manor, your only option is to behave yourselves.

Chu Mochen believed he had explained things very clearly, but Sun Xinrou had been spoiled by Chu Mochen for the past few years and was used to being high and mighty. How could she possibly accept her fate of having to lower herself to the dust?

Even if Sun Xinrou was stupid, she knew at this moment that she could no longer disobey Marquis Wenxuan, so she could only sob and agree, promising that she and her two children would behave.

Chu Mochen's back injury was already in pain, and after a whole morning of struggling, now that he relaxed, he felt like his entire back didn't belong to him anymore.

Chu Mochen could only grit his teeth and instruct Mu Qing, "Find a courtyard for Aunt Sun and her two children to settle in. Also, go and tell Madam in person to arrange for Yun'er to attend the clan school."

Mu Qing bowed in response and then said to Sun Xinrou, "Aunt Sun, Miss, and Third Young Master, please come with me."

Sun Xinrou led Chu Yunyun and Chu Ruoyu in a gesture of respect to Chu Mochen before following Mu Qing away.

Knowing that Madam disliked Consort Sun and her two children, Mu Qing chose a courtyard for them that was far from both the main courtyard and the front courtyard.

However, the courtyard was renovated very well; at least Aunt Sun and her two children were quite satisfied with the whole courtyard.

Sun Xinrou disliked the name of the courtyard very much. She asked Mu Qing, "I don't like the name 'Shiyun Courtyard.' Can I change the name of the courtyard?"

Mu Qing bowed respectfully. "You need to ask Madam for permission before you can make any changes."

Sun Xinrou was not satisfied with Mu Qing's answer. "I've consulted with the Marquis. Can it be changed?"

Mu Qing replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it can be changed if the Marquis agrees."

However, Mu Qing did not think that the Marquis would disrespect his wife over such a trivial matter, since the Marquis was merely lustful and did not intend to break off his relationship with his wife.

Now that the beauty has entered the Marquis's courtyard, the Marquis will probably have to work hard to please his wife.

Hearing Mu Qing's words, Sun Xinrou felt a little better. Looking at the empty courtyard and thinking about her belongings in the outer mansion, a thought struck her:

"Butler Mu, could you please send someone to bring my belongings from my old residence to the mansion?"

As the steward of the Marquis's mansion, Mu Qing was certainly well-informed. He already knew that those things had been sold by the madam's men. He wondered where he was going to find something to send to her.

Mu Qing replied truthfully, "Aunt Sun, it's not that I'm being presumptuous, but the house and belongings outside your residence have already been disposed of by Madam's people."

"What?" Sun Xinrou's voice was so loud that it startled the birds in the trees.

In her anxiety, Sun Xinrou tried to tug at Mu Qing's sleeve, which startled Mu Qing, who took three or four steps back and said sternly, "Aunt Sun, please have some self-respect!"

Seeing Mu Qing's reaction, Sun Xinrou knew that her action was impolite. "Steward Mu, that's not what I meant. I just got a little agitated by what you said earlier."

What did you mean by that?

"It means what you heard." After saying that, Mu Qing took a few steps back towards the door. At this moment, Mu Qing was glad that he had brought the person who would be serving Aunt Sun with him when he came.

Otherwise, if something happens, he won't be able to explain it clearly.

"What right does Madam have? Those are my private property. What right does Madam have to deal with them? I'm going to go to the Marquis to seek justice for me..."

As Sun Xinrou was about to walk out, Mu Qing had to quickly stop her, "Aunt Sun, in order for you and your two children to enter the manor, the Marquis not only got a beating from the Princess, but also gave his private treasury to you, Madam."

Please don't cause trouble for the Marquis. According to the law, even concubines don't have private property, let alone someone of your status..."

Mu Qing's unfinished words were quite clear: even a concubine doesn't have private property, so what are you, a mistress, doing jumping around?

Sun Xinrou was so angry that her fingernails dug into her palms. The resentment in her heart was driving her crazy. "Then what will the three of us, mother and children, use?"

Mu Qing pointed to the three maids standing behind him, "These three are there to serve the concubine, the eldest young lady, and the third young master. They were all chosen by the Marquis."

The rest of the household will be provided with their own allowances. Their daily expenses will also be covered by public funds, but they will not have unlimited spending; they will be allocated a certain amount.

Once the allowance is used up, you'll have to pay the difference yourself, Auntie.

Your monthly allowance is two taels of silver, you will receive two sets of clothes per month, one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup per meal, plus two plates of snacks, and a set of jewelry per year.

The young lady's monthly allowance is five taels of silver, which also covers two sets of clothes per month, two sets of jewelry per year, and her meals are the same as yours.

The third young master is the same as the eldest young lady in every other respect. He doesn't wear jewelry, but he receives an extra five taels of silver per month.
