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

Although Chu Yunxuan's words were simple, Chu Mochen immediately understood what his eldest son meant.

Chu Mochen... another day when he wanted to beat the kid: "You just swindled me out of a thousand taels, and you want more? I'm not a banknote counterfeiter."

Chu Yunxuan did not refute Chu Mochen's words and continued walking forward.

Chu Mochen gritted his teeth and bargained, "One hundred taels."

"Deal!" Chu Yunxuan agreed crisply and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Before Chu Mochen could react, Chu Yunxuan had already stretched out his hand in front of him, asking for the silver notes.

Chu Mochen reluctantly pulled out a one-hundred-tael silver note and handed it to Chu Yunxuan, saying, "What do you need so much silver for as a companion in the palace?"

"In the palace, nothing is free. Even asking for an extra pot of hot water requires paying a bribe. Father has never paid for this before, so of course he doesn't know how much money this companion costs."

Chu Yunxuan put the silver notes away while explaining.

Chu Mochen, feeling sullen after being told off by his eldest son, took out five hundred taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Chu Yunxuan, saying, "Spend it sparingly!"

Chu Yunxuan quickly reached out and took the silver note from Chu Mochen's hand, putting it away. He still gave a perfunctory thank you, "Thank you, Father."

Seeing his eldest son like this, Chu Mochen felt cheated. "Didn't you and Heng'er divide my private treasury?"

Chu Yunxuan lied through his teeth, saying, "Our son is still young! In the future, he'll need money for marriage, raising children, and building his future. Of course, we'll save it for when it's most needed."

Chu Mochen thought about all the good things in her private treasury and instantly regretted giving away the silver notes.

Looking into Chu Mochen's eyes, Chu Yunxuan knew exactly what this irresponsible old father was thinking. He would never return what was in his hands!

Chu Yunxuan not only refused to return the silver notes, but also spoke infuriatingly, "Father, think positively! Most of these good things of yours will be mine a hundred years from now. They're just being given to me in advance. What's there to be heartbroken about?"

Chu Mochen was so angry that he reached out to hit Chu Yunxuan, who pretended to shout, "Mother..."

Chu Mochen could only wave his hand dismissively, "Hurry up and follow us, we're going to pay our respects to your grandmother. Your mother is just spoiling her son."

Chu Yunxuan walked slowly behind Chu Mochen, retorting calmly, "You know your mother is a loving mother!"

Hearing his eldest son say this, Chu Mochen felt uneasy. "Am I not a loving father?"

Chu Yunxuan watched Chu Mochen's retreating figure with amusement, "If you could give your son another thousand taels, you would be..."

"You wish!" Chu Mochen said through gritted teeth, and walked forward even faster.

Chu Mochen felt he shouldn't have talked to Chu Yunxuan, that brat, who kept asking for money and showed none of the aloofness of a noble young master.

I wonder what this brat learned in the palace? Could this be Chu Mochen's precise retribution in this life?

When Chu Mochen and Chu Yunxuan arrived at Deyuan Courtyard, Old Madam Hou, who had already received the news, had someone help her up and had her lean against the headboard while waiting.

Upon seeing her eldest son and grandson enter, Old Madam Hou didn't even glance at her eldest son, but instead warmly invited Chu Yunxuan to come to the bedside to talk.

Chu Yunxuan sat down on the stool beside Old Madam Hou's bed with a concerned expression. "Did I disturb Grandmother's rest, grandson?"

Looking at her second favorite grandson, the old lady Hou felt much less resentful these past few days. "Grandmother is happy to see our Xuan'er. How are you doing in the palace? Has anyone bullied you? Do you have enough money?"

Chu Yunxuan replied with a smile, "Grandmother, don't worry, I'm doing well in the palace. The only issues are that there are a few more things to take care of and I'm a little short on money."

But these grandchildren can overcome it.

Madam Hou was only being polite in her concern; she hadn't expected her eldest grandson to mention that he didn't have enough money, which surprised her.

Old Madam Hou did not believe Chu Yunxuan's statement, so she said righteously:

"You are the heir of our Marquis Wenxuan's mansion. You don't need to worry about money. Just ask your mother to give you more. She doesn't need a penny more."

As for Madam Hou's private treasury, she tacitly agreed that it belonged to Yu'er.

Since her eldest grandson already had a title to inherit, it would be just right for her to use her private funds to subsidize Yu'er from the second wife's family. Not only did Old Madam Hou not think there was anything wrong with her idea, but she also felt that Yu'er was slightly at a disadvantage.

Chu Yunxuan didn't actually have any designs on his grandmother's private treasury; he could earn the money himself.

As for why Chu Yunxuan said that, he was just taking a chance, and also trying to sow discord between his father and grandmother.

The grandmother was stingy with her eldest grandson, just as she was stingy with her father, her eldest son.

If Grandmother doesn't even love her own son, Father, isn't it normal that she doesn't love her grandson either? If Father and Grandmother's relationship weren't so good, Mother's life in the Marquis's mansion would be much better.

So when Chu Yunxuan heard his grandmother say this, his expression didn't change at all. He still smiled and gave his father, Chu Mochen, a meaningful look.

Chu Yunxuan was pleased to see his father's unpleasant expression.

Chu Yunxuan even had the mood to care about his grandmother. "Grandmother, don't worry about these things. I know what I'm doing. I heard you've been sick recently. You must take good care of yourself and live a long and healthy life."

So that I can see my cousins ​​get married and have children later.

When Madam Hou saw that her grandson did not refute her words, but instead advised her to take care of her health and showed concern for her cousin, she felt much better.

"You're so filial. Grandma is old, and we don't know how many more days she has left!"

Your cousin isn't as successful as you. If you help Grandma look after him more in the future, she'll be happy.

Seeing his grandmother so scheming for his cousin, while he could only watch helplessly as his cousin was harmed in his previous life, Chu Yunxuan felt an intense hatred in his heart.

But now he can suppress the hatred in his heart. Sure enough, apart from their own mother, who would truly care about the two brothers?

"Grandma, don't say that. You'll definitely live to be a hundred. With you watching over him, your cousin will surely have a bright future. You can also benefit from his success then."

No matter how good your connections are, nothing beats having your own abilities.

If Chu Yunyu hadn't only been favored by his grandmother in his previous life and hadn't been involved in harming his younger brother, Chu Yunxuan would have already taken action against him.

Just like Chu Yunyun now, he was first ostracized in the clan school, and then a few people started to associate with him.

Under the influence of those people, Chu Yunyun no longer focuses on his studies; he only thinks about getting things from his father, and his eyes are only on the inner courtyard.

As long as Chu Yunyun remains incompetent, Chu Yunxuan can easily deal with him in the future, perhaps without Chu Yunyun even lifting a finger.
