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

Looking at Han's frightened expression, Lin Fengyu felt nothing, only a deep sense of irony: "Tell me, did I ever give you a chance?"

Han, disregarding the pain in her back, quickly made a promise, almost swearing an oath to heaven:

"This is the last time. I promise I will never target my daughter again, nor will I stoop to my sister's level."

"Hehe, you stubborn fool, just wait until I, the Prince, send you away!" Lin Fengyu said, giving Han a gentle smile to show his good mood.

Then Lin Fengyu led his men away gracefully, his entire figure exuding a sense of relief and liberation.

Han, whose hair stood on end in fright, lay on the bed, her mind racing, trying to figure out if Lin Fengyu was really going to kill her.

Han kept thinking and thinking, her forehead covered in sweat, not knowing whether it was from fear or pain.

In just a short while, Han fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Jiangxing and his wife returned to their courtyard. Qin Shi, with her trusted confidante guarding the gate, quickly asked Lin Jiangxing, "Husband, are you really not going to compete for the position of heir apparent?"

Lin Jiangxing brewed himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. "It's not as simple as you think."

Qin looked at her husband with a puzzled expression, "Wasn't my elder brother's position as heir apparent already revoked?"

"It's not like we can't rebuild after we've withdrawn. It seems like we're back on the same starting line, but in reality, our eldest brother is still far ahead."

The relationship between my siblings and me was already cold enough. If I get involved, what kind of chaos will this house become after my grandmother and grandfather are gone?

If someone takes advantage of the situation, it will be difficult for him to remain a spoiled brat.

Many things, once started, cannot be turned back.

After Lin Jiangxing finished speaking, seeing the regretful expression on his wife's face, he continued:

"Besides, my elder brother isn't as magnanimous as we see him. The reason he's not in such a hurry is because he's always considered the position of heir apparent to be his for the taking."

But if I were to actually steal it, my brothers and I would fight to the death, and it might even affect the next generation. Are you willing to let our Qi'er take such a risk?

Thinking of her son, who was only a little over a year old, Qin was truly reluctant to part with him. "Then forget it."

Lin Jiangxing kept observing his wife's expression out of the corner of his eye. Only when he saw that Madam Qin had indeed given up on this idea did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He couldn't bring himself to kill his elder brother and nephew for a title, so be it! What's not meant to be won't be forced.

Since his conversation with Madam Han, Lin Fengyu has been staying at Consort Zheng's courtyard frequently. Except for the first and fifteenth of each month, Lin Fengyu will not step into Madam Han's courtyard, even when Madam Han is recuperating.

What made Han even more nervous was that Consort Zheng also came from a pretty good background; she was the same Consort Zheng from the palace.

She also had a son, Lin Jianghong, who was about eight years old, but Consort Zheng was not born of the principal wife.

However, in Consort Zheng's generation, the Zheng family only had two girls in total, one legitimate daughter and one illegitimate daughter. Consort Zheng's life in the mansion before her marriage was quite comfortable.

Lin Fengyu had also told Han that he wanted to lose his wife. All these factors combined made Han nervous, and even Lin Jiangyu hadn't smiled in a long time.

Lin Jiangyu lost his position as heir apparent, and Lin Fengyu then spread rumors about his dislike for Lin Jiangyu.

Therefore, when Lin Jiangyu went out, he was often ridiculed by the sons of noble families. Even at home, he found that some of the servants were not as easy to use as before.

It's true that helping someone in need is rare, but kicking someone when they're down is everywhere.

Therefore, Lin Jiangyu and Han often gathered together to discuss things, but it was only then that they realized that without Lin Fengyu's favoritism, no matter how many methods they used, it would be useless.

Although Lin Fengyu wanted to stir up internal strife in the manor, he was also afraid that it would affect his second brother Lin Fengsong's eldest son, Lin Jiangyu, who was the future hope of his second brother's family.

So not long after, Lin Fengyu used some effort to send Lin Jiangyu out to gain experience before the household could react.

Lin Fengsong's second son, Lin Jiangjun, was also sent to the military camp by Lin Fengyu, who specifically asked Prince Cheng to take special care of him.

Lin Fengsong was initially quite nervous as he watched the manor descend into chaos, but once his elder brother resolved his worries, he resumed his leisurely lifestyle.

As for matters between his nephews, a spoiled brat like him couldn't possibly get involved.

Anyway, whoever inherits the eldest brother's title in the end will have to call him Second Uncle. He plans to rely on his eldest brother for the rest of his life and help his son get ahead before his eldest brother passes away.

As for the care of the next generation, he might not have been able to enjoy it anyway. As for his son, it would be good enough if he could receive the same treatment as other members of the clan.

Lin Yanran's "recovery" life was quite lively. Not only did Chu Shihui and Chu Yunnian take leave from Zhiren Academy to return home, but the three Wei brothers also returned from Prince Cheng's Mansion.

There were always people around her in her courtyard, which annoyed Lin Yanran, who preferred peace and quiet. The main problem was that these children disturbed her reading of storybooks.

In this era without cell phones, Lin Yanran felt that a day without reading a storybook would pass by incredibly slowly.

After returning to the Marquis's residence, Wei Yize basically maintained the same routine he had when he was at the Prince Cheng's residence: he slept when he was supposed to, read when he was supposed to, and practiced martial arts when he was supposed to.

Everyone had to admit that Prince Cheng was quite skilled at raising children. Wei Yize was visibly starting to understand things.

Sometimes, when Chu Mochen, Chu Yunxuan, and Chu Yunheng (father and sons) discussed matters of the court, he would sit beside them and listen attentively.

Whether he understood it or not, the fact that he was interested is quite gratifying.

But Wei Yichuan and Chu Shifu were completely different from Wei Yize. They spent their days either playing around in the Marquis's mansion or finding all sorts of excuses not to study or practice martial arts.

So when Lin Yanran said she was feeling better and asked the three Wei brothers to continue their studies at Prince Cheng's Mansion, only Wei Yize readily agreed.

Both Wei Yichuan and Chu Shifu said they missed their grandparents and wanted to be filial to them.

Lin Yanran found it amusing, while Chu Mochen found it terrifying.

So, on a dark and windy night, after the three Wei brothers had fallen asleep, Chu Mochen, who had recognized the teaching achievements of Prince Cheng, sent his trusted confidant to deliver them to Prince Cheng's residence that very night.

When the three Wei brothers woke up, they saw the kind face of Prince Cheng.

Wei Yize didn't care. He lived a fulfilling life in both the Marquis's and the Prince's mansions, and he had people who could answer his questions.

Wei Yichuan and Chu Shifu's expressions turned ugly, and they immediately started throwing a tantrum.

Prince Cheng covered his head, looking at Wei Yichuan and Chu Shifu speechlessly. Anyone would be upset to see the results of several months of hard work wiped out in an instant.
