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

Sun Xinrou frowned more and more as she listened. This treatment was far worse than what she had received outside the manor.

Putting everything else aside, she had four maids serving her personally outside the mansion, as well as a nanny.

However, Sun Xinrou didn't say anything to Mu Qing. She had figured out that Mu Qing was just a servant.

He can't make the decision either, so there's no point in talking to him.

If it were Sun Xinrou on a normal day, she would have maintained her gentle demeanor. But today, she had suffered too many setbacks, and she could no longer pretend. She could only reply listlessly:

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Butler Mu."

Upon seeing this, Mu Qing bowed respectfully and withdrew.

He had no intention of currying favor with Consort Sun. If he wanted to curry favor, it would be with the Madam and the Heir Apparent. Anyone who went against the royal family would have no chance of winning.

Because the royal family has always been protective of its own and unreasonable, and besides, the truth is still on the wife's side.

After Mu Qing left, Sun Xinrou could no longer maintain the last bit of smile on her face.

Sun Xinrou could only squat down helplessly and hug her two children tightly in her arms, "You are all I have left."

Three-year-old Chu Ruoyu was terribly frightened today, especially after being hugged by Sun Xinrou.

She burst into tears, and while crying, she tried to pull Sun Xinrou out of the courtyard:

"Mom, let's go home. I don't want to stay here. Dad doesn't like me and my brother anymore. He doesn't like us anymore..."

Chu Yunyun, who always seemed more sensible than her younger sister, chimed in, "Mother, let's go back! Can we even go back?"

Hearing what the two children said, Sun Xinrou cried even harder, which also made her mind clearer.

They can't go back, and she always has to fight for a way out for her child.

Sun Xinrou held the two children's hands and earnestly instructed them, "From now on, you must listen to your two older brothers and not go against them."

If they bully you, go and complain to your father, but you must never confront them in public.

Although Sun Xinrou spoke solemnly, three-year-old Chu Ruoyu wouldn't listen to her at all. "I don't want to, I want to go home, I want to go home."

Five-year-old Chu Yunyun nodded sensibly, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of my little sister from now on."

Sun Xinrou sadly ruffled Chu Yunyun's hair, "Don't call me 'Mother' anymore, call me 'Auntie'!"

Although she had thought about this day coming when she was a concubine of Marquis Wenxuan.

But after hearing her son and daughter call her "Mother" for so many years, she now had to call her "Auntie," and she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

What made Sun Xinrou most desperate was that the wife of Marquis Wenxuan came from such a good family background, and coupled with Marquis Wenxuan's attitude today, all her previous thoughts were useless.

Marquis Wenxuan showed her through his actions that he would not clash with his wife for the sake of her and her two children, so all her previous ideas were no longer feasible.

The three of them, mother and children, could only plan slowly and patiently, they couldn't rush it, they absolutely couldn't rush it, Sun Xinrou could only comfort herself with this thought.

As soon as Lin Yanran and her entourage left Chu Mochen's courtyard, they saw Chu Yunxuan rushing over, and the corners of Lin Yanran's mouth involuntarily turned up.

Chu Yunxuan hurriedly stepped forward to bow, taking the opportunity to carefully examine Lin Yanran. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on Lin Yanran's face, he felt a little relieved, but he still asked with concern, "Mother, are you alright?"

Lin Yanran watched as Chu Yunxuan ran, his hair becoming a little messy. She felt quite pleased. "Just a mistress, she can't threaten me."

"Your mother used to only believe in love, but now that love is shattered, no one can stand against me."

Lin Yanran offered a brief explanation for her change of heart while gesturing for Chu Yunxuan to follow her.

These words hurt Chu Yunxuan deeply. His face flushed with anger. "Mother, please go back and rest. I'll come to pay my respects to you later. I'll go in and beat those three up to avenge you..."

Before Chu Yunxuan could finish speaking, he was already about to rush out.

Fortunately, Wen Lan reacted quickly and grabbed Chu Yunxuan. Lin Yanran then took her angry eldest son from Wen Lan's hands and said, "I've already beaten him myself, there's no need for you to do it."

Control of Chu Yunxuan's collar shifted from Wenlan to his mother. Chu Yunxuan feared that excessive struggle would hurt his mother.

In the end, Chu Yunxuan could only glance at the courtyard with resentment before following Lin Yanran away, saying, "Then I'll beat the son next time."

"You can beat those two brats if you want, as long as you don't hurt them. But you can't beat Aunt Sun. After all, Aunt Sun is your father's woman."

Lin Yanran gave this instruction because she could see the hatred in Chu Yunxuan's eyes.

Perhaps Chu Yunxuan was unable to properly conceal his hatred because he had only recently been reborn, or perhaps the child was unwilling to hide it from his mother.

Regardless of the reason, Lin Yanran did not want Chu Yunxuan to do anything irrational; it wouldn't be worth ruining his reputation for a few people.

Chu Yunxuan knew his mother was worried about him, so he remained silent for a moment before obediently agreeing.

Anyway, there's more than one way to deal with someone. In the future, he should do it more discreetly so that his mother won't worry about him.

Seeing that Chu Yunxuan had taken her words to heart, Lin Yanran stopped nagging.

The next morning, Sun Xinrou brought her two children to pay their respects.

As soon as Sun Xinrou led Chu Yunyun and Chu Ruoyu into the house, they saw a boy in his teens sitting side by side with the lady in the seat of honor.

To the left of the lady, a little below, sat a child about the same age as Chu Yunyun.

Sun Xinrou only glanced at them from afar before bowing respectfully with her two children.

"This concubine greets Madam, the Heir Apparent, and the Second Young Master."

After Sun Xinrou finished her greetings, seeing the two children kneeling and silent, she could only subtly nudge them.

Finally, Chu Yunyun couldn't bear his mother's pleading eyes and spoke first, "Son greets Mother!"

Chu Ruoyu clung tightly to Sun Xinrou's side, and no matter how threatening Sun Xinrou's eyes were or how she secretly pinched her, she was too afraid to speak.

Five-year-old Chu Yunyun spoke up for her younger sister, "Mother, don't worry. My sister is just a little timid. She'll be fine once she gets used to things."

Regardless of what Lin Yanran really thinks, she still has to appear kind to the two children on the surface, otherwise public opinion will sympathize with the weaker party.

Lin Yanran, adopting the demeanor of a stepmother, looked at the two children kneeling before her with a beaming smile, "Yun'er and Yu'er, you two may rise first!"

Lin Yanran pointed to Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng and introduced them to Chu Yunyun and Chu Ruoyu: "These are your two older brothers."

Your eldest brother is usually a very busy man, serving as a study companion in the palace. He can only spend a few days a month at home.

Your second brother is studying at the clan school, and so are several of your other cousins. You'll all get to know each other eventually.

Chu Yunyun immediately smiled and called out, "Big Brother, Second Brother."

Chu Yunheng simply gave a curt "hmm" and continued playing with the slingshot he had just acquired, without even raising his head.

Although Chu Yunheng was only five years old, he had been studying at the clan school since he was four, and he had seen a lot of the messy things in the clan.

He had no intention of playing the brotherly love card with his concubine's son. He could barely put on an act in front of outsiders, but in the mansion, forget it!
