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

This tactic might have worked on other daughters-in-law, but using it on Lin Yanran was a mistake.

"Mother, you should save this trick for your son! As the Princess Yixian, personally bestowed by the Emperor, it's not that I can't accept your offer of a bow."

However, I must warn you, if you force the Marquis to give the spot to Chu Yunyu of the second wife...

By then, all the noble ministers of Mancangming will know that Chu Yunyu forced his grandmother to kneel before his uncle in order to snatch a place for his younger brother from another family to go to school.

I'll see then whether Chu Yunyu will still have the face to go to school with such a reputation.

No one can steal from my son without paying a price. You two can try if you don't believe me.

Madam Hou originally considered this move to be her trump card, but she didn't expect Lin Yanran to be completely out of control. She was so angry that her hands were shaking.

But as she listened to Lin Yanran's subsequent words, she looked at Lin Yanran as if she were looking at her father's killer.

Lin Yanran is such a vicious person, she's going to ruin Yu'er! How could she be so wicked?

Old Madam Hou could only resort to harsh words to try and completely intimidate Lin Yanran, "You dare! If you dare? I'll smash my head against the gate of the Princess's mansion and die. I refuse to believe there's no law anymore."

"Oh, then why don't you take a gamble? If you really kill me, what will happen to me? What will happen to the second wife?" Lin Yanran paused for a moment before continuing:

"If my second brother fails to properly educate his son and forces our grandmother to her death, our entire family's future will be ruined. As for me, I will likely be impeached by the censors as well."

It's possible that this princess's title will be lost! As for my mother, the eldest princess, it was your own favoritism that led to all this.

The most serious consequence might be a deduction from one's salary! A year or two? Who really lives off that meager salary?

Even if I lose my title of Princess, I still call the current Emperor my uncle. Who would dare to truly bully me?

As Lin Yanran finished speaking, Old Madam Hou's finger trembled as she pointed at Lin Yanran, and she truly fainted from anger.

Zhou rushed towards Old Madam Hou and started calling for help. Lin Yanran felt sorry for Old Madam Hou just watching the force with which she lunged.

Lin Yanran gave Wenmei a look, signaling her to go and fetch the family physician.

She then loudly rebuked, "Zhou, you actually made your mother faint over a spot at Zhi Ren Academy! This is unfilial of you..."

Zhou, who had been crying in a panic, stopped crying in surprise when Lin Yanran directly pinned the blame on her. "Lin Yanran, you..."

Zhou, you did it several times, and you even managed to make yourself faint from anger.

Lin Yanran looked at the mess in front of her and muttered to herself, 'This is really fragile.'

However, Lin Yanran did not leave, but sat there calmly waiting for the physician's diagnosis. As for Wen Zhu, who was in charge of the medical consultation, Lin Yanran did not allow her to get close to the two of them at all.

Even though the original owner was so love-struck, she didn't reveal that Wen Zhu knew medicine, so it's even less likely that Lin Yanran would reveal it.

The imperial physician arrived quickly; Lin Yanran had just instructed people to move the two of them to the bed and the soft couch respectively when the physician arrived.

After carefully taking his pulse, the physician finally had the leisure to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Fortunately, it was just a case of extreme anger affecting his heart.

Lin Yanran breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the physician's report. If something had really happened between the two of them, she would have been in real trouble.

Especially Madam Hou, after all, she was her mother-in-law.

The physician administered acupuncture to both Madam Hou and Madam Zhou, and they both regained consciousness.

When Madam Hou woke up, she didn't say anything, but silently shed tears.

The moment Zhou woke up, she had her maid help her up. She bowed to Old Madam Hou and told her to take care of herself before quickly leaving with her entourage.

Zhou was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would be so angry with her sister-in-law that she would die here today.

After Zhou left, only Old Madam Hou and Lin Yanran remained in the room.

Old Madam Hou looked at Lin Yanran, who was still there, with utter displeasure. "Why aren't you leaving? What are you standing here for? Do you want to see if I'm really dead yet?"

"Then I'll take my leave!" Lin Yanran said, and smiled at Old Madam Hou.

Enraged, Old Madam Hou grabbed a pillow from inside the bed and threw it at Lin Yanran's retreating figure.

Lin Yanran turned to look at the pillow that had fallen not far from her, and then gave Old Madam Hou a provocative smile.

Lin Yanran, like a victorious general returning home, led her entourage away in a grand procession.

Madam Hou...

When Chu Mochen, Chu Mode, and Chu Moyi returned later, they knelt in a row in front of Old Madam Hou's bed.

The three brothers had already learned the whole story. In fact, it had nothing to do with Chu Moyi, who was born out of wedlock. No matter who it was, such a good thing would never happen to their branch of the family.

Chu Mode spoke first, "Mother, Yu'er is my son, and I love him dearly, but to be honest, he's really not cut out for studying. Why are you arguing with your sister-in-law over this?"

At this moment, Chu Mode felt that his mother was getting more and more confused as she got older.

The Marquis's family originally had two spots. If he wanted to fight for a spot for his son, he would have made his decision a few years ago when the clansmen came to ask for one.

He didn't speak to his older brother because he felt that Chu Yunyu wasn't cut out for studying.

Chu Mochen didn't speak then, but now his mother and wife are staring at this last spot. What's going on? Are they bullying their own kind?

Besides, he and his elder brother had almost broken off their relationship when they were fighting for the title. His mother was still making a scene with his sister-in-law without any regard for the consequences. Wasn't that putting them in a very difficult position?

Old Madam Hou stubbornly looked at her eldest son, "What did the eldest son say?"

"Mother, what do you want me to say? Heng'er is my second son, and this spot is rightfully his. Besides, he has always been very good at his studies."

Are you suggesting that I bypassed my own son and gave it directly to my nephew?

As for the matter that you feel the princess is angry with you, all I can say is, don't provoke her!

I can't do anything about her now. If I anger her, my mother-in-law, the princess, will come and beat her son again.

My son is busy with work right now! He doesn't have time to stay home and recover from his injury.

Don't even mention the law to the princess. Isn't the law just something the royal family sets out? What kind of law do you want?

Chu Mochen was truly annoyed. He was angry at both Lin Yanran's willfulness and his mother's favoritism and troublemaking. He was exhausted from running around all day and didn't want to be caught in the middle again when he got home.

Seeing that his mother was getting angrier after his elder brother finished speaking, Chu Mode quickly echoed his elder brother, "Mother, just listen to your elder brother and stop making a fuss."

Could it be that if things really escalate, the princess will only hold a grudge against her elder brother and forget about her son?

Do you want your son to retire and live a simple life then?
