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

However, Chu Yunxuan would not torture them. After a simple check, they would be sent back to the princess's residence to work. However, they and their families would be monitored and would not be allowed to leave the city for the time being.

Chu Yunxuan received a letter from Chu Shifu and hurriedly went out.

Having gone all night without returning, Lin Yanran, Le An, and the others waited at the entrance of the Marquis's residence early in the morning.

Le'an was so anxious that she couldn't sit still and almost trampled the ground in front of Lin Yanran.

She paced back and forth anxiously, muttering to herself:

"Mother, what exactly happened to that rascal Chu Shifu? Or what trouble did he cause? Could it be that he betrayed the princess? Or did he hurt her? He's so old, how come he's still such a worry?"

Lin Yanran was also a little anxious, "I wonder if his father can handle the trouble he's caused this time?"

When Le'an heard his mother say this, he felt like stomping on the stone slabs beneath his feet. He said fiercely, "If he causes a big mess this time, I'll whip him. The bigger the mess, the more worrying it is."

"Mother, when will raising children finally stop causing me so much worry?"

Lin Yanran spoke up, dispelling Le An's unrealistic fantasies, "Oh, there wasn't that time."

Le'an was so angry that she stomped her feet several more times.

Lin Yanran and Le An arrived here before dawn to wait. Le An knew that Chu Yunxuan had not returned all night, and she was unsure whether to ask Chu Yunxuan for leave from the morning court session.

Therefore, Le'an could only bother Lin Yanran and let her make the decision.

Lin Yanran knew that Chu Yunxuan had not returned all night. After hearing Le An's explanation, she couldn't stay in the courtyard any longer.

Lin Yanran first sent someone to ask Chu Yunxuan for a day off, and then she and Le An led their people to wait behind the main gate.

It was already broad daylight, so Lin Yanran and Le An had to set out their breakfast here as well. They were in a hurry and didn't eat properly, each only taking a few bites before asking for it to be taken away.

Chu Shihui knew that his father had not returned all night and was planning to ask for leave as well, but Lin Yanran persuaded him not to.

As for Chu Shihui's wife, Lin Yanran specifically sent a message to her, telling her to just take the two children and not to come and wait.

There's no point in everyone waiting here; she'll be notified if anything happens here.

The main reason is that Chu Shihui's wife, Li Xianshu, already has two sons, the older one is only three years old and the younger one is only three months old. They just had their 100-day celebration not long ago.

Both children were very young. Although there were wet nurses and maids, Li Xianzhu still had a lot to worry about. Lin Yanran and Le'an were reluctant to let Li Xianzhu come here to wait with them.

It wasn't until the sun had fully risen that Chu Yunxuan's carriage arrived at the Marquis of Wenxuan's residence.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Lin Yanran and Le An stood not far away, watching curiously. They glanced at each other and saw that Qian Lai and the others did not look panicked. They both felt that nothing serious had happened and sighed inwardly.

Just as Lin Yanran and Le An breathed a sigh of relief, they saw Chu Yunxuan come down carrying a seven- or eight-month-old baby.

Lin Yanran and Le An exchanged a glance. Lin Yanran's first reaction was, "Le An, believe me, I really didn't know."

Le'an was quite optimistic; she knew what kind of person her husband was.

Le An, her expression unchanged, took Lin Yanran's hand and said, "Mother! My husband isn't that kind of person."

Lin Yanran, of course, believed her son. She had only been trying to lighten the mood. She asked softly, "Xuan'er, whose child are you holding?"

Chu Yunxuan casually placed the child in his mother's arms. "That bastard Chu Shifu, let's go inside and talk about it!"

When Le'an heard Chu Yunxuan say this and didn't see a smile on her husband's face, she thought it was Chu Shifu's illegitimate child. She felt like the sky was falling and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Chu Yunxuan caught her in time.

After regaining her balance with Chu Yunxuan's help, Le'an looked up at Chu Yunxuan with trembling eyes, "Is this Chu Shifu's illegitimate son?"

As soon as Le An said this, Lin Yanran also looked up at Chu Yunxuan.

Chu Yunxuan felt that if he said yes, his mother would immediately put the child back in his hands.

Seeing his mother and wife staring intently at him, Chu Yunxuan could only explain, "This is the child of Chu Shifu and Princess Zhaojia. Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to have a child born out of wedlock."

Upon hearing that the child belonged to Chu Shifu and Princess Zhaojia, Lin Yanran and Le An found the child utterly adorable.

Le'an quickly ushered everyone into the house, and even went to Lin Yanran's side to shield the child from the sun, saying, "Come on, come on, let's go inside quickly."

Seeing his mother and wife like this, Chu Yunxuan felt his anger lessen slightly.

After Chu Yunxuan and the others went inside and sat down, the imperial physician who had been waiting at the Marquis's residence immediately came to examine the child. Chu Yunxuan also had the imperial physician examine the birthmarks on the child's body.

The imperial physician examined the patient very carefully. In the end, the physician practically patted his chest to guarantee that the birthmark was real before Chu Yunxuan personally gave the physician a purse and saw him off.

When Chu Yunxuan came in again, the first thing he said was, "Mother, please ask Wenzhu and Wenju, who are by your side, to come and take a look. Those two are very knowledgeable."

Today, Lin Yanran was accompanied by Wenmei and Wenlan. Wenlan received a look from her mistress, bowed to the group, and quickly withdrew to personally go to the backyard to call for someone.

Seeing Chu Yunxuan's serious demeanor, Lin Yanran was puzzled. "What happened? Where are Chu Shifu and Princess Zhaojia? How is Princess Zhaojia's health after giving birth?"

Chu Yunxuan angrily downed another large cup of tea before slumping into a chair, looking ready to fight, and explained:

"Chu Shifu and Princess Zhaojia are fine. It's just that there are still many places they haven't visited, so they don't want to come back for the time being."

They were worried about the inconvenience of taking the child anywhere, so they discussed sending the child back to me or taking him to the palace to be raised by the Empress.

As soon as Chu Yunxuan finished speaking, not only Le An was surprised, but even the well-informed Lin Yanran was astonished and widened her eyes. She had never seen such carefree parents before.

Chu Yunxuan then took out a handwritten letter from Chu Shifu from his pocket and handed it to his wife, saying, "This is a handwritten letter from Chu Shifu. Take a look!"

After reading Chu Shifu's handwritten letter, Le'an angrily drew his whip from his waist, brandished it a few times in the air, and couldn't help but utter harsh words:

"I'll wait for that guy Chu Shifu to come back in Cangming. When he does, I won't believe I haven't broken Chu Shifu's legs."
