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

Chu Yunheng's three children are all growing up quite well. Chu Shiche was personally raised and taught by the old Marquis Chu Mochen when he was young, and in some ways, he is the most like Chu Mochen.

He studied in places full of top students, and inevitably faced various temptations and schemes, but he persevered through them all.

He couldn't take the imperial examination route, but thanks to his excellent grades while studying at Zhiren Academy, he was admitted to the Ministry of Justice, where he spent his days investigating cases and was very busy.

This is probably why Chu Yunheng was sent to a post outside the capital! Even though his son has entered officialdom, he still doesn't want to look too bad in front of his son and wants to try to get his official position as high as possible.

However, Chu Yunheng's goal was not to become a high-ranking official of the first or second rank. He worked as a fourth-rank official for a few years and then retired.

Before Chu Yunheng was sent to a post outside the capital, the wedding arrangements for Chu Shiche and Chu Shizhao were completed.

Chu Shiche married the second daughter of Zhao, the current Minister of Justice, and the two were considered a good match.

Chu Shiche's current father-in-law can also provide him with financial support, and Lord Zhao's daughter will become the heir apparent's wife as soon as she marries into the family.

However, Chu Shizhao's marriage was a bit of a headache. She was to marry the eldest son of the Duke of Fu, who was also the Duke's heir. The two of them met through a story of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, except that Chu Shizhao was the hero and the heir was the beauty.

When two strangers come into contact, it's as if the magnetic field between them changes, and they frequently meet in various situations.

Of course, Prince Wei is that handsome, strong, and tragic character. He's the unlucky guy in the mansion who has a stepmother and a stepfather, and his half-brother wishes he were dead at any moment.

He was no match for the many hands he had, and occasionally he would get hurt.

As the two met more often, and Wei Shizi happened to be the kind of person who appealed to Chu Shizhao's aesthetic, they gradually developed feelings for each other.

Since the Crown Prince of Wei was willing to vow never to take a concubine, and Chu Shizhao was willing to marry him, Chu Yunheng had no choice but to agree.

However, when the marriage was being discussed, Le'an made a statement to the Duke of Fuguo: she didn't care how her family fought, but if they dared to involve Chu Shizhao, they shouldn't blame her for turning against them.

Even with Le An and Lin Yanran keeping things in check, Chu Shizhao still had plenty of unpleasant experiences after marrying into the family.

Even so, Chu Shizhao never asked her father or uncle for help in dealing with the matter of the Duke of Fuguo. In any case, she was only responsible for protecting herself and her child. As for the rest, the Crown Prince Wei had to fight for it himself.

If she interferes too much, once this major hurdle is overcome, the man will likely find her ruthless and cruel.

Anyway, she was just a stay-at-home woman who liked her husband's face, tried her best to protect him in their daily life, and encouraged him to fight and struggle. She was her husband's support.

Even so, Chu Shizhao's stepmother-in-law was causing quite a commotion, which often worried Chu Yunheng and Kong Lingyi, who were far away in their posts.

Chu Yunheng's way of worrying was to frequently write letters to his elder brother and sister-in-law. Kong Lingyi also came back often, and everyone frequently visited the Duke of Fuguo.

Chu Yunheng and Kong Lingyi's youngest son, Chu Shiwen, took his elder brother's place at Zhiren Academy. Of course, he used the quota reserved for the Earl of Chunxiao.

Now, the Chunxiao Marquis's family can get a formal spot in Zhiren Academy every few years.

After Chu Yunxuan officially retired, apart from occasionally going to the palace to bring Li Qingyun back for a few days to help the emperor manage the private treasury, he spent his time traveling around with Le'an and Lin Yanran.

Actually, Lin Yanran didn't want to follow these two around at all, but they insisted on taking her with them wherever they went, which left her feeling quite helpless.

As people get older, their voice diminishes, and neither Chu Yunxuan nor Le An listen to her anymore.

Time marched on, and after Wei Yichuan's wife gave birth to their fourth daughter, Zhou Yanbing was under immense pressure, as were Lin Yanran and Le An, who were terrified that a single wrong word might cause Zhou Yanbing to overthink things.

Lin Yanran was never sexist and would never interfere in her grandchildren's affairs. Although Le'an wanted Wei Yichuan to have a son, she knew the helplessness of women and tried not to mention it, only giving him rewards and words of comfort as usual.

But after Zhou Yanbing had a brush with death with Lao Si, she had come to a complete understanding that no man was more important than her life.

Only when a person is alive can they worry about others affecting their interests; if they are dead, others will take everything.

So she really couldn't have a son, and the first thing she did after waking up was to bring a concubine into the mansion.

It was precisely because of Zhou Yanbing's actions that she gave birth to another daughter. Wei Yichuan did not show any disappointment. Instead, he gave his newborn daughter a lot of good things, saying that he was saving up for her private treasury.

It is clear that Wei Yichuan had been longing for his son and concubine for a long time.

However, Wei Yichuan insisted on waiting until Zhou Yanbing finished her postpartum confinement period before going to the concubine's room.

At first, Zhou Yanbing was naturally sad, and even couldn't sleep all night because of it. She cried countless times. But all of this disappeared when her two concubines in the backyard became pregnant and eventually gave birth to two daughters.

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: "Oh no, both of my concubines have given birth to daughters. Will I have to give birth to one too?"

She may be jealous, and she can be melancholic at times, but she doesn't want to have any more children, especially daughters. It's not worth the risk.

So on the same day that her second concubine gave birth to a daughter, Zhou Yanbing arranged for Wei Yichuan to take three more concubines into the mansion overnight.

Those two were already very arrogant during their pregnancies, thinking that the Chengyuan Marquis's mansion would belong to their son in the future. But they were proven wrong so quickly.

There were already four legitimate daughters, so even if they were to marry into another family, it wouldn't be their turn. Therefore, during that time, Wei Yichuan became an alcoholic, and his two concubines would cry every day while holding their daughters.

After a bout of heavy drinking, Wei Yichuan, encouraged by Zhou Yanbing, regrouped and returned to the newlyweds' courtyard.

Then it was like a loop: Wei Yichuan took the medicine and went to the concubine's courtyard; the concubine got pregnant; the concubine gave birth to a daughter; and Wei Yichuan came to find Zhou Yanbing to drink and cry.

Wei Yichuan's tears had only one theme: as brothers, it was one thing that his parents gave birth to the least intelligent child, but why did his older and younger brothers all have sons, while he didn't?

Zhou Yanbing lowered her standards for selecting people again and again, until finally she only had one criterion: "good at bearing children".

Years later, Wei Yichuan had fifteen daughters, and he was in despair. He felt that he was destined to have daughters all his life, and he gave up.

He lost interest in the beautiful women in the backyard, so he went back to either staying in the front yard or in his wife's room.

After drinking together, Wei Yichuan and Zhou Yanbing had a friendly sparring session. Not long after, Zhou Yanbing became pregnant again. Enraged, Zhou Yanbing immediately decided to beat up Wei Yichuan.

Not to mention Wei Yichuan, even Zhou Yanbing thought she was having a daughter.
