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

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, was truly exasperated by his daughter's unpredictable personality. He could only mutter under his breath, "The child is so old now, yet she cries more and more."

Hearing her husband muttering under his breath, the eldest princess glared at him angrily.

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, could only smile ingratiatingly at the princess and obediently sit down next to her.

The eldest princess personally wiped away her daughter's tears again, "Why are you crying after your father said a few words? Are you heartbroken because Chu Mochen is keeping a mistress?"

Lin Yanran smiled brightly at the princess, showing no trace of her pitiful crying moments before. "Just teasing Father! I'm not sad anymore."

"My daughter came back this time to ask if you've found a suitable beauty yet?"

Seeing his daughter like this, Prince Consort Lin, though his face was full of expressions, breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he hadn't made his daughter cry.

"Are you really sure? If you can't bear to part with Marquis Wenxuan, your mother can take care of that woman in your household for you."

The eldest princess wasn't testing her; she was just dealing with a concubine. She didn't even need to intervene openly. Her daughter's happiness was the most important thing.

Lin Yanran was moved by the princess's loving heart, but she was not the original owner who only sought a man's love and could not live without it.

Lin Yanran never believed in love. Even without love, she still had family, friendship, money, and a life of wealth and comfort.

Therefore, Lin Yanran rejected the princess's suggestion without hesitation:

"Mother, you don't need to dirty your hands like this! In this world, it's common for men to take concubines. Although I am a county princess, I am not a princess after all."

In this world, apart from princesses, no one can legitimately prevent men from taking concubines.

If a man chooses not to take a concubine, that's his choice. If he doesn't want to, and we force him, those censors will start making a ruckus again.

Besides, if a man wants to, he can always find another one; it doesn't really matter whether he gets a virgin or not.

When Lin Yanran said this, Consort Lin stared at his daughter in surprise for a while, and then couldn't help but interject, "You seem to have cleared your head a bit."

Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, disapproved of His Highness's relationship with his eldest son and had always doted on his daughter. Just now, His Highness said he would help his daughter get rid of the concubines in the Marquis's mansion.

The daughter can handle it herself, but the eldest princess cannot interfere. After all, it is a marquis's mansion; it's not up to the eldest princess to run the household.

Although this incident was not enough to seriously damage the princess, if such incidents occurred frequently, the court officials and nobles would inevitably feel that the princess was arrogant and domineering.

Because His Highness's glory remains undiminished, those of them who rely on His Highness can enjoy a long and prosperous life.

"When did my daughter lose her mind?" Lin Yanran firmly denied what the original owner of the body had done.

Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, still had that annoying mouth as always, "From childhood!"

Just as Lin Yanran was debating whether or not to give her annoying old father another tearful lesson, she saw her older brother, Lin Fengyu, stride in.

Lin Yanran smiled, stood up, bowed, and greeted him, "Big Brother!"

Following his daughter's gaze, Lin Fuma saw his eldest son's handsome and dashing figure, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He could tell that his daughter had probably wanted to cry again.

Lin Fengyu had already reached the three princesses. Looking at his younger sister's red eyes, he frowned. "Little sister, are you still upset about that mistress?"

This was the first time Lin Yanran had seen Lin Fengyu, but the moment she saw him, she felt an instant connection that transcended mountains and seas, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. "Big brother..."

Seeing this, Lin Fengyu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and hurriedly wiped away Lin Yanran's tears. "Don't suffer in pain. Being a widow will definitely be better than what you are now."

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, rolled his eyes. "No matter what, he's still a marquis. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever."

The eldest princess and Lin Fengyu both looked at the spoilsporting Lin consort with disapproving eyes.

Lin Yanran did find it quite suspicious that Chu Mochen had just taken a mistress and then died. She changed the subject, saying, "Big brother, I'm not sad because of that mistress. It was just that Father bullied me again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengyu immediately concluded, "Father, my younger sister is feeling unwell right now, so please be considerate of her."

Lin Fuma felt that his eldest son's remarks were completely contrary to the natural order, questioning whether he or his daughter was the elder.

However, he dared not refute his eldest son's words, since he usually relied on his eldest son for financial assistance when he was short of money.

He spends quite a bit of money buying antiques and calligraphy.

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, could only offer a small defense: "I, as your father, had good intentions."

Seeing that his father had given in, Lin Fengyu turned to comfort his younger sister, "Don't take it to heart, he's just worried about you."

When he learned that Marquis Wenxuan was keeping a mistress, he didn't sleep all night and spent the entire night cursing Marquis Wenxuan in his study in the front courtyard.

While cursing, he cleared out all his precious books and paintings, thinking of supporting you at any time.

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, denied it, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. I just missed my treasures, so I went out to look at them overnight."

Hearing her older brother say this, Lin Yanran was instantly appeased. "Since Father has already prepared it, just give it to me!"

The Imperial Son-in-Law gave a haughty snort, unable to bring himself to refuse. He knew his daughter's temper; if he said no, this stubborn girl might actually refuse.

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, lamented his misfortune, for all three of his children were his ancestors.

"I can't give you all of it, I can only give you a third. I still need to leave a portion for your older brothers."

As long as there's some for her, Lin Yanran instantly smiled brightly, "Thank you, Father!"

Looking at his daughter's smiling face, Prince Consort Lin suppressed the urge to say something harsh and only let out a soft hum.

After watching the whole thing, the princess just silently held her teacup and sighed inwardly, occasionally remarking, "Even people have their counterparts."

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the eldest princess asked Lin Fengyu, "Did you have errands to run today? Why are you back now?"

Lin Fengyu replied casually, "It's not an important task. My son heard that my younger sister was back, so he took half a day off. It's the same if we do it tomorrow."

"But what about that matter at my younger sister's residence? How does she plan to resolve it?"

"Although Father's words were harsh, they were indeed reasonable. It's highly suspicious that Chu Mochen would have an accident at this time; the people in the clan aren't fools."

The title of Marquis Wenxuan only goes down in rank after three generations. Chu Mochen is only in the second generation. When Xuan'er inherits the title, he will still be a marquis.

As for divorce or anything like that, I haven't thought about it.

With such a high title, I can't possibly divorce someone and let them benefit.

Moreover, we have been maintaining marriage alliances with neighboring countries for the past few years. If we were to actually break off these alliances, we would inevitably attract attention.

I've decided to just live like this. Chu Mochen likes beautiful women, so I'll just take in a few more for him.

I will continue to live my life of luxury.

After Lin Yanran finished expressing her thoughts, seeing that her elder brother still had a furrowed brow, she added, "Brother, don't worry. I love Chu Mochen, which is why I feel wronged by having a concubine."

I no longer love him. Having a concubine will give me more peace and quiet, and it will also prevent any concubine in the household from becoming too powerful.
