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

After spending these years together, Lin Yanran felt that her two daughters-in-law were also her children, and that they should naturally have a share of what was hers.

Sometimes the bond between people is based on blood ties, but sometimes the bond between people is not entirely based on blood ties.

Years ago, Lin Yanran told the Chu brothers, Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng, that her possessions would be tilted towards Chu Yunheng, but now Chu Yunheng also has a title.

In the early years, when Lin Yanran managed Chu Yunheng's assets, she also contributed a considerable amount of money.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to accumulate so much in the end. In addition, with Lin Yanran's occasional subsidies over the years, Lin Yanran felt that it was about enough.

She can just divide what's left among them and have some fun!

After Lin Yanran finished distributing the items, she suddenly thought of Chu Yunnian, who had been extremely filial to her all these years.

During the years he was sent to other posts, he never stopped sending gifts to show his filial piety, and he also personally copied many interesting rare books.

Now that I've been transferred to Cangming, I always visit her during my days off.

She crossed out some names from the four people's lists and added one for Chu Yunnian as well.

Although it wasn't as generous as Chu Yunxuan's, it was still quite good. Consider it as a token of his filial piety towards her over the years, leaving him something to remember her by.

As for her niece Lin Jiangzhuo, it was some jewelry, which Lin Yanran had prepared long ago, and it was less than what Chu Shihui and the others received.

But there's nothing we can do. People have varying degrees of closeness and distance, and her descendants all have families to support, so there's nothing we can do about it.

Lin Yanran originally wanted to delay for a few more days, until her grandsons were on vacation, before meeting them all together and giving them the gifts.

The next morning, as soon as she woke up, Huixiang came in to report, "Madam, the oldest pepper tree in your yard started to wilt this morning."

Lin Yanran thought for a while before remembering that the old pepper tree was the one she had forced Chu Mochen to find back then.

Back then, fearing the tree wouldn't survive, she even threatened Chu Mochen, saying that if the tree died, she would never forgive him.

Then she saw Chu Mochen constantly nagging at that tree, and in the end, the tree actually survived.

Lin Yanran now felt that she was failing; the tree was actually dying.

Thinking about that old bastard's strange behavior, Lin Yanran couldn't help but mutter, "That old bastard Chu Mochen probably told this tree that he just wanted it to outlive her, right?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her idea might make sense. She asked Huixiang to help her sit up against the headboard. "Have someone inform Chu Shihui and his generation! Don't forget Chu Shizhao. Tell them I want to see them."

If they can't come, there's no need to force them; important matters are at stake.

Fennel solemnly agreed and quickly went out to make the arrangements.

Upon hearing their mother summon them, the brothers Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng rushed in. Chu Yunheng was the first to rush to Lin Yanran's bedside, asking, "Mother, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Lin Yanran smiled and shook her head. "No, I just missed my juniors and suddenly wanted to see them. When you get old, you have to be a little willful. You two don't need to worry."

Just as Lin Yanran finished speaking, she saw Le An and Kong Lingyi rushing in.

She smiled kindly at the two of them. "Why are you two running? I'm still alive!"

Le'an laughed and shifted the blame, "I was scared because I saw the two brothers running away in a hurry."

Kong Lingyi chimed in, "Yes, sister-in-law is right. It's all Chu Yunheng's fault. He's completely unreliable."

While Le An and Kong Lingyi said this, they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the four of them looking worried, Lin Yanran's smile grew even brighter. Meeting these children in this life was truly worthwhile.

"You four have come at the perfect time. I just finished distributing my personal stash; each of you can choose one!"

After Lin Yanran finished speaking, she gestured to Huixiang to have someone bring up four boxes. Inside were lists containing cash and land deeds, all written on them. They could simply take what they needed from these lists.

Le An and Kong Lingyi looked at the four boxes with some surprise.

They thought there were only the brothers Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng.

Le'an, being a straightforward person, immediately asked, "Mother, do we both have some too?"

Lin Yanran smiled and nodded, "You four are all my children, so you'll all get one! One for each of you. You two can choose first!"

Le An immediately pushed Kong Lingyi, "Sister-in-law, you quickly choose one."

Kong Lingyi looked at her husband, and seeing that he nodded, she casually picked up a box. "Thank you, Mother, thank you, Sister-in-law."

Le'an waved her hand dismissively and hugged one of them, saying, "There's nothing to thank me for. According to Mother's thinking, the amounts are about the same, so I'm not losing out."

After Le'an finished choosing, he looked at Chu Yunheng and said, "Second brother, come and choose one quickly."

Chu Yunheng didn't stand on ceremony with his older brother and casually took one, while Chu Yunxuan reached out and took the last one.

The brothers Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng held the box, neither of them showing a smile. Chu Yunxuan couldn't help but ask:

"Mother, you're perfectly fine, so why did you divide up your private treasury?"

Seeing the worried looks in her two sons' eyes, Lin Yanran smiled even more. "I'm already like this, I'll be gone sooner or later anyway, it's better to separate sooner rather than later, so as not to affect the relationship between you two brothers."

Lin Yanran reached out and took her youngest son's hand. "Heng'er, I told you two brothers before that my private treasury would be tilted towards you."

But back then, your elder brother had a title, while you had nothing. Besides, I've subsidized you quite a bit over the years.

So this last bit will be split equally among the four of you. Try not to worry about it.

Chu Yunheng gripped Lin Yanran's hand tightly in return, "Mother, you're underestimating your son. Besides, my elder brother and sister-in-law have given me quite a bit of financial support over the years."

Especially when Zhao Zhao got married, my eldest brother and sister-in-law contributed half of her dowry. If anyone benefited, it was me who always got the better deal.

Chu Yunxuan patted Chu Yunheng on the shoulder and comforted him, "Between brothers, we don't talk about this."

Lin Yanran looked at the group with lingering affection: "Seeing you two brothers like this makes me happy. Let's have lunch together!"

"Okay!" Chu Yunxuan and the other three responded in unison.

While waiting for lunch, the brothers Chu Yunxuan and Chu Yunheng personally helped Lin Yanran to sit down at the table, and the five of them happily enjoyed their meal.

Lin Yanran was also in high spirits, and she reminisced with the others about the fun things that happened when they were young. They talked back and forth, making it a very lively conversation.

Chu Shihui and his group had actually arrived before lunch, but Qian Lai stopped them outside the courtyard.

Chu Yunxuan didn't want those people to come in and ruin their family's happy time.

Chu Shihui: Okay, okay, we are those people.
