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

Lin Yanran felt that rather than Chu Mochen keeping mistresses outside, it would be better to keep them all under his nose.

Lin Yanran didn't want the two children to worry about her, so she made up a casual excuse for herself, "Just to add some fun to life, otherwise I'd be so bored all alone in the mansion."

Chu Yunxuan thought about it and was still a little worried. "How about I find you a capable nanny to watch over the backyard, Mother?"

Lin Yanran looked at her eldest son, Chu Yunxuan, with a half-smile, "You know a formidable nanny?"

At this moment, Chu Yunxuan had only one thought: Oh no! How could a ten-year-old child like him possibly know a powerful and loyal nanny?

Chu Yunxuan awkwardly reached out, intending to touch his beard as usual. Halfway there, he realized he didn't have a beard at all.

His hand could only turn halfway, and instead touched his nose. "What I mean is, I'll ask your grandmother for you."

Lin Yanran felt that secretly watching her eldest son's true colors being revealed was quite a nice feeling.

She smiled and teased, "Why would I need you to find your grandmother? I'll find her myself."

Chu Yunxuan always had the feeling that his mother saw right through him, but he thought it must be his imagination. If people told him about his condition, they would think he was crazy.

Chu Yunxuan chuckled and teased Lin Yanran, "Mother, don't you always act like a quail in front of Grandfather?"

"Hmm?" Lin Yanran glared at Chu Yunxuan fiercely, signaling him to speak properly.

"Oh, son, you misunderstood. I wasn't pretending. You just think that your maternal grandfather is biased and likes your eldest uncle more."

Lin Yanran isn't the original owner of this body, so she's not afraid at all!

"I said the same thing in front of your maternal grandfather, because he always preferred your maternal uncle."

Lin Yanran outwardly maintained the original owner's persona, but in her heart she felt that Lin Fuma was actually quite good to the original owner.

Lin Fuma liked and valued his son, but he didn't neglect his daughter either, which Lin Yanran found quite rare.

Chu Yunxuan looked at Lin Yanran in surprise, "You dare to say this in front of your maternal grandfather now? Didn't you only dare to say it in secret before? When did this happen?"

At this moment, Chu Yunxuan's face was full of thirst for knowledge.

Lin Yanran was also quite curious about what kind of person her eldest son, who had been reborn, was in his previous life. "When did you, a man, become so fond of watching the excitement?"

Chu Yunxuan silently replied in his heart, "Of course, it was cultivated during my retirement in my past life. Being an old man was too boring every day, so I always had to find some fun!"

Chu Yunxuan, of course, looked at Lin Yanran with a genuinely misunderstood expression, "Mother, what are you saying! How can you say that your son is just watching the show? Your son is just concerned about you."

Lin Yanran self-deprecatingly said, "Maybe it's because I felt hopeless this time! People, the more pathetic they are, the more their temper is directed towards their loved ones when they're angry."

You two mustn't follow my example!

Chu Yunxuan looked at his mother seriously, "Grandfather will definitely be very happy."

"what?"

Lin Yanran was genuinely surprised. Who could be happy even after being mistreated?

Chu Yunxuan smiled enigmatically, offering no further explanation. In Chu Yunxuan's eyes, his mother and maternal grandfather were simply a pair of bickering lovers.

One was full of love for his daughter, but stubborn; the other always complained about favoritism, but when it came time to visit his maternal grandparents, he ran away faster than anyone else.

Upon meeting, they were again two people pretending not to care.

My maternal grandfather must be very happy that my mother can throw a tantrum in front of him.

Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng stayed with Lin Yanran a little longer before bowing and taking their leave.

With Chu Yunxuan finally at home, Chu Yunheng had also taken leave from the clan school to see his two half-brothers and sisters. The two brothers were going to go to the front yard together to see their father.

The two walked side by side toward the front yard. Chu Yunxuan carefully instructed, "When you are at the clan school, don't target Chu Yunyun, and don't get too close to him."

Since he calls you "Second Brother," just smile and respond.

I will also tell some of the children in the clan to play with him, and that you just need to focus on your studies.

"Big brother, do you really treat him like a younger brother?" Chu Yunheng's tone was slightly dissatisfied and aggrieved.

Chu Yunheng felt as if his elder brother had been taken away from him.

Chu Yunxuan smiled and reached out to rub his younger brother Chu Yunheng's head. "Only a life of luxury can breed spoiled brats; a harsh environment can only inspire people's fighting spirit."

"What's wrong with having people pampering him and playing with him?"

Although Chu Yunheng was still young, he understood the power of his older brother's move. "Big brother is so smart. I'll listen to whatever you say."

Chu Yunxuan was very pleased with his younger brother's attitude. "Don't you think I'm heartless?"

Chu Yunheng shook his head with a cold face. "That day I saw my mother secretly wiping away tears. Sometimes I hate myself for being so young."

If I were already grown up and a powerful person, would my father's choice be different?

Brother, I hate them. Especially that Aunt Sun, with that self-righteous look on her face, she's such an eyesore.

Her father doted on her the most, so what was her mother? Did her mother, a princess, have to lower herself to compete for her father's favor?

"Does she even deserve it?"

Chu Yunheng became more and more agitated as he spoke, his face turning red with anger.

Chu Yunxuan felt sorry for his mother and also for his younger brother. "They are all insignificant people. What do they matter? Just study hard and get a degree to make your mother happy."

The rest all have older brothers!

Chu Yunxuan's words puzzled Chu Yunheng. "Big brother, aren't you taking the exam?"

"Are you stupid? I'm already the heir of a marquis's mansion, how could I still be qualified to take the imperial examination?"

"I am currently serving as the Crown Prince's study companion. After the Crown Prince's wedding and the division of his household, I will enter the court directly when the opportunity arises."

Even so, Chu Yunxuan had no intention of slacking off in his studies. No matter where he worked in the future, ability was the most important thing.

As for his experiences in his past life, that was just a reference. He had long forgotten what he learned in his youth after so many years of retirement.

Chu Yunheng confidently boasted, "Hehe, then you wait and see, I'm sure I'll get a top score."

Chu Yunxuan was worried that his younger brother would set his sights too high and then fall behind. So, he decided to build a ladder for his brother first.

"Don't work too hard. Getting a second-class degree is already quite an achievement. In families like ours, there's not much difference in status between second-class and first-class degrees."

There's no need to harm your health for a little bit of glamour.

Chu Yunheng had always admired this older brother, and now that he heard his older brother so concerned about his health, he couldn't help but nod his head very readily.

Although the brothers Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng didn't spend much time together, they had endless topics to talk about.

Especially with his experience from a previous life, Chu Yunxuan could easily coax his five-year-old brother.

From Lin Yanran's main courtyard to the front courtyard of Marquis Wenxuan Chu Mochen, Chu Yunheng couldn't wait to become Chu Yunxuan's little shadow.
