Transmigration into a Book: My Lord, Your Wife Has Taken Another Concubine for You
Chapter 5: The Eldest Princess and Her Consort Support Lin Yanran
As soon as Madam Hou left, the sharp-tongued Prince Consort Lin started talking about his daughter again, "I thought you were going to make a scene over a man again, but this time you're actually talking a little more like it."
Lin Yanran, being a quick-tongued and rebellious child, said, "Your daughter didn't cry herself to death, so are you quite disappointed, Father?"
The eldest princess felt even more distressed when she saw that her daughter, who used to be so obedient to her father, could now argue with her husband.
How much suffering must a daughter have endured to change her personality so drastically?
The eldest princess held her daughter's hand and asked with concern, "Tell your father and mother, what's really going on with that Chu Mochen guy? Does he really dare to keep a mistress outside?"
"I used to think he was a bit clever, but it turns out he's just a fool." Lin Fuma's impression of Chu Mochen plummeted instantly.
The drop was so drastic, it went from being a "good son-in-law" to a "fool"!
The eldest princess reached out and patted Lin, the imperial son-in-law's arm. "Would you rather hear what you say, or what your daughter says?"
When Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, turned to his princess wife, his attitude immediately changed. "Listen to what your daughter has to say, listen to what your daughter has to say."
The eldest princess then looked at her daughter with satisfaction, signaling her to begin speaking.
"Just like the rumors circulating outside, those rumors were spread by my daughter! But they're all true."
The son born to Chu Mochen's mistress was only a little over a month younger than his daughter Heng'er.
The father added, "My daughter didn't cry, but I almost cried myself to death."
After carefully observing him, Prince Consort Lin concluded: "Your expression is far from what it used to be, when you were always on the verge of crying your eyes out."
The eldest princess could only glare at Lin, the imperial son-in-law, as if to feign anger, signaling him not to pick a fight with his daughter.
Lin Yanran pretended to think seriously about what Lin Fuma had said before replying, "Perhaps Chu Mochen is getting older and not as handsome as he was when he was young. My daughter really didn't seem to be making a scene this time."
"My daughter, I've finally overcome this tribulation in love."
After Lin Yanran finished speaking, she pretended to reminisce about the past, her face full of regret.
Seeing his daughter like this, Prince Consort Lin gently patted her head from the bottom of his heart. "Being stupid is being stupid. Your mother and I haven't looked down on you. What excuse are you making?"
Lin Yanran looked at Lin Fuma with disbelief. "Father, do you really think you've never looked down on your daughter? Swear on your own hair and I'll believe you."
Upon hearing his daughter's unreasonable request, Prince Consort Lin immediately covered his hair and said, "Don't even think about it."
"Hmph, I knew that your father used to think that I was stupid. He still has the nerve to complain that I am not as close to you as I am to my mother."
Lin Yanran's explanation for her change was somewhat forced.
The reason the original owner wasn't close to her father was that she felt her father only liked her two older brothers.
Her father never spoke to her as harshly as he did to her two older brothers.
When it came to his daughter, Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, was determined not to suffer any loss. "Didn't you always think I favored your two older brothers? With your little schemes, who wouldn't see through them?"
Lin Yanran didn't think that Lin Fuma was biased. There were three children in the family. The eldest brother had the title of Prince, she had the title of Princess, and the second brother was the one who had nothing.
But since the conversation had already reached this point, Lin Yanran went along with it, revealing a slightly rebellious streak, "Don't you favor your two brothers?"
"I really like your older brother. He's smart, steady, ambitious, and filial..."
When Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, talked about his favorite eldest son, he had endless praise for him. His favoritism was simply impossible to hide.
Lin Yanran pouted, unconvinced. "So, my daughter and second brother were adopted!"
"If only he were found, then your mother and I could just throw him away when your second brother is wandering around all day, neglecting his family."
"And don't worry about your daughter, who already has two children and still believes men's lies."
Lin, the imperial son-in-law, often didn't want the two debt collectors behind him. He and the princess were both of retirement age, and they still had to worry about these two unfilial sons.
Unable to win an argument with Lin the Imperial Son-in-Law, Lin Yanran imitated the original owner of the body, leaning against the Princess and acting coquettishly, "Mother, please do something about Father. He wants to throw away the children you've raised with such difficulty."
Prince Consort Lin glared at his daughter. "I'm still here, and you're already tattling. Who else would you embarrass if not you?"
Seeing her husband and daughter like this, the princess was surprisingly in a good mood.
This way of getting along between father and daughter is much better than the previous situation where one of them would lecture the other while the other silently shed tears.
The eldest princess reprimanded both father and daughter equally, saying, "Alright, how old are you two combined? Still arguing."
After saying this, the eldest princess, fearing that the prince consort and her daughter would continue to argue about who was superior, quickly changed the subject to the day's important matter:
"Ran'er, what are your plans after this?"
Lin Yanran shrugged, appearing indifferent. "What else can we do? Just keep going! Our daughter and eldest son are both ten years old. How can we spend all our time being so lovey-dovey and half-dead?"
The Marquis's family has a title to be inherited, and the daughter would never hand over the title to someone else.
Besides, would the royal family tolerate their daughter divorcing because Chu Mochen had an affair?
Right now, the daughter is seen as the weaker party. But if she really makes a big fuss and gets a divorce, people's opinions will change!
The eldest princess reached out and touched her daughter's head, her eyes full of heartache. "Mother hopes you will always remain as innocent as before."
Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, disagreed with His Highness's words. "Your Highness, please stop talking nonsense. Our daughter is better the way she is now. Her old, chubby appearance was painful to look at."
The eldest princess... reached out and forcefully slapped Lin, the imperial son-in-law's hand, "Shut up!"
The eldest princess then turned to her daughter to smooth things over: "Ran'er, your father is all bark and no bite. He heard about this last night and didn't sleep a wink, afraid you'd cry yourself to death."
Lin Yanran could tell that the Princess and Prince Consort Lin were genuinely worried about her, but she wasn't the original owner of this body and wouldn't risk her life for a man.
She didn't want the Princess and Prince Consort Lin, who were already at an age where they could enjoy their retirement, to have to worry about their daughter every day.
"Father, Mother, don't worry! It's just a man wanting to take a concubine; your daughter can handle it."
Originally, the eldest princess had a lot of things she wanted to say to her daughter when she came, but seeing her daughter finally standing up, all her words of advice turned into support: "Mother believes in you."
Even the sharp-tongued Prince Consort Lin didn't say anything. Anyway, if he and His Highness couldn't handle it, there was still his eldest son!
All their schemes are focused on their eldest son, so that Chu Mochen can experience the power of his brother-in-law.
Although the eldest princess and her husband Lin said they didn't care, they stayed at the Marquis's residence and didn't leave.
Perhaps because she retained the original owner's memories, Lin Yanran treated the Princess and Prince Consort Lin as her biological parents after only spending an afternoon with them.
She was happy to have such parents who were so worried about their daughter.
