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

When Madam Hou realized what had happened, she almost fainted from anger. Others might not know, but she knew that the royal family always had double standards.

Since Chen'er publicly promised never to take a concubine, and Lin Yanran now has two sons, there is no question of her being childless. What kind of image will Chen'er have in the eyes of the royal family?

Lin Yanran's words angered Xie Shi even more than if Lin Yanran had emptied Chen'er's private treasury. "Lin Yanran, what nonsense are you talking about? Chen'er dotes on you so much, how dare you? How can you so heartlessly throw dirty water on Chen'er?"

Lin Yanran, do you even have a heart?

Seeing Old Madam Hou's pretentious manner, Lin Yanran's smile grew even brighter:

"Yes, I have no heart. Chu Mochen does. Chu Mochen's mistress gave birth to a grandson and a granddaughter for you. Congratulations, Mother, on becoming a grandmother again."

Mother must be very happy! If you can't wait, your daughter-in-law will send someone to bring the two children back to the mansion right now.

"Mother, you know what, those two boys do look quite like the Marquis."

At this moment, Zhou and Wu wished they could disappear on the spot. Princess Changning was not a kind person. If Princess Changning found out about this news, their Marquis's mansion would probably be finished.

Seeing that Lin Yanran's story sounded very plausible, Madam Hou Xie dared not gamble on its veracity. Instead, she adopted a kind expression and said, "Eldest daughter, Chen'er was just confused for a moment. He's even willing to give you his private stash, which shows that you are the most important person in his heart."

"My mother has quite a few good things in her private stash; she'll have someone send them over to you later."

When Lin Yanran heard that her mother-in-law was willing to give her good things, she was also willing to soften her personality a bit:

"Then I thank you very much, Mother. Just a few days ago, Xuan'er and Heng'er were telling me that they wanted two estates to practice on."

The daughter-in-law considered her dowry but couldn't find a suitable one.

"My daughter-in-law will go down and look again. She's been upset by the Marquis lately, so she won't bother you, Mother."

Lin Yanran sincerely thanked Madam Hou, then curtsied slightly and took her leave with her entourage.

Only after Lin Yanran left did Zhou and Wu dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at Zhou and Wu's timid appearance, Old Madam Hou felt even more weary. She waved her hand at them, "You two may leave now!"

Zhou cautiously made her request, "Mother, our Yu'er has recently been looking for a estate to practice on, daughter-in-law..."

Old Madam Hou threw down another teacup beside her, yelling, "Get out!"

Seeing that her mother-in-law was really angry, Wu quickly pulled Zhou, who was still stunned, downstairs with her.

As she watched her two daughters-in-law hurry away, Madam Hou thought to herself that she would be driven to her death by these wicked people sooner or later: "Go and call the Marquis back."

Ruyue quickly tried to soothe the old lady, saying, "Old lady, please don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, the Marquis will be worried about you."

"This servant will immediately send someone to wait at the main gate. After the Marquis finishes his duty, he will come to pay his respects to you."

Although Madam Xie, the matriarch of the Hou family, really wanted to give her eldest son a good beating right then and there, she knew he should be at court by now, so she had to swallow her anger.

"Help me into the inner room to lie down!"

At this moment, Old Madam Hou's face was full of exhaustion, as if she didn't want to clean up the mess.

After Old Madam Hou lay down, she did not forget to comfort her daughter-in-law, "Ruyue, have someone open my private treasury, select some things that Madam Hou likes, and have someone send them to Madam Hou."

Choose two large estates outside Cangming City and send them there together.

After giving her instructions, Madam Hou recalled the expression on Zhou's face when she left. They were all her grandsons. "Select a land deed for a medium-sized estate and send it to Zhou."

As for Madam Wu, she was the wife of a concubine's son. The old lady would only superficially serve water; such truly good things could not possibly have anything to do with the third branch of the family.

Ruyue, who was beside Madam Hou, bowed and acknowledged the request before reminding Madam Hou, "Madam, you only have three large estates outside Cangming City left. Why don't you exchange them for the deeds to medium-sized estates and send them to Madam Hou?"

After a moment of silence, Old Madam Hou sighed helplessly, "Fine, let's just send the land deeds for the two large estates to Madam Hou."

I'm already this old, and all the good things I have will eventually belong to them.

Consider this an early gift from me to my two grandsons. Xuan'er and Heng'er are both good children of the Chu family.

Lin Yanran returned to the main courtyard and had a recliner moved to the porch, where she lay down to enjoy the breeze.

When the people around Madam Hou brought the items, Lin Yanran got up, glanced at them briefly, and then ordered them to be registered and put into the storeroom.

As for the land deeds of the two estates, Lin Yanran kept them for herself and would give them to the two children later.

Tian, ​​the wet nurse who serves Lin Yanran, has been kept by Lin Yanran's side to serve her all day, which is not good news for Tian.

At her age, she would normally be living a life of leisure at home, and it would be absolutely unheard of for her to be constantly attended to by her master like this.

Throughout the morning, Granny Tian was filled with anxiety, wondering what her master wanted to see her about.

But judging from her master's attitude towards her this morning, Granny Tian had a suspicion that her master probably knew about what she had done.

"Granny Tian!" Lin Yanran had just called out from her chair when Granny Tian immediately knelt down with a thud, looking guilty.

Lin Yanran sneered. In her opinion, this Granny Tian was the most deserving of death. If it weren't for Granny Tian constantly nagging the original owner about love and romance, how could the original owner have become increasingly stupid? "It seems Granny Tian also knows that you've done something to betray me?"

"Please spare my life, Princess. I only revealed your itinerary to the Marquis a few times to fulfill my youngest daughter's wish."

After Granny Tian finished speaking, she looked at the princess's smiling eyes and felt a chill run through her body.

Granny Tian continued, her voice trembling, "I also added a little sleeping medicine to the princess's tea."

"But I've already asked the doctor, and it's just some sleeping pills; they won't harm the princess's health."

"Why did you put sleeping pills in my tea?"

"It was the Marquis who instructed me to add it. The Marquis probably hopes that you, Madam, can rest early and not have to wait for him so hard."

After Granny Tian finished speaking, she kept kowtowing, hoping that the princess would soften her heart and spare her family.

Granny Tian dared not remain silent, for the lives of her entire family were in the hands of the princess.

At the time, she agreed to the Marquis's absurd decision because she thought that once the Marquis brought his mistress into the mansion, the master would definitely need to arrange someone of his own to keep her in check. At that time, her youngest daughter, who was not yet engaged, would be the best candidate.

Once their youngest daughter becomes the Marquis's concubine and bears him children, their family can gradually escape their lowly status.

But before the mistress had even entered the mansion, her actions had already been discovered by the master. Granny Tian knew that this was not the time to play tricks.

If she confesses honestly, the princess might spare her whole family's lives out of consideration for the many years she has served her.

If they fell into the hands of the cruel Princess Changning, not only would their entire family be in danger, but their entire clan would also be in peril.
