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

Lin Yanran didn't refuse and immediately agreed, "Okay."

Lin Fengsong had only intended to give it a try, but he didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. "My little sister is still the best to her second brother."

Lin Fengsong didn't even care about the food on the table anymore. He looked at Lin Yanran expectantly, his meaning clear: give it to her now.

Under her second brother's watchful gaze, Lin Yanran calmly took out one tael of silver from her sleeve pocket and placed it in front of Lin Fengsong.

Lin Fengsong immediately exploded, "Lin Yanran, what do you mean? Are you not my sister anymore? Do you look down on me? You..."

"Just tell me if you want it or not! If not, then forget it." Lin Yanran said as she took the silver from the table.

Lin Fengsong immediately picked up the silver and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, saying, "Why not take it if it's free? I'll make sure you're rich."

"Second brother, you have to be reasonable. If I dare to give you a large sum of money, I'm afraid Father and my eldest brother will break my legs too."

"My skin is so delicate, unlike yours, Second Brother. I can't take a beating."

Lin Yanran firmly denied that she was stingy.

They were siblings who grew up together, so Lin Fengsong felt that everyone knew each other well.

"You're stingy, you've been stingy since you were little. You listened to my story for so long, and I didn't see you give me a single tael of silver."

Lin Yanran changed the subject with a hint of curiosity, "Second Brother, have you been here for a long time?"

Lin Fengsong has always been shameless in front of his family and has never felt there was anything he couldn't say:

"I might be a little later than you! Your second brother doesn't have any money, so I can only stand in the main hall and listen. If I hadn't seen Wenzhu next to you go to urge the dishes to be served, my lunch would still be uneaten!"

Tell me, isn't your second brother's life miserable?

Lin Yanran nodded sincerely, agreeing, "That's terrible!"

Lin Yanran also didn't understand why her second brother insisted on leaving the manor to have fun when he was penniless.

"Tsk tsk, you, the second young master of the Princess's mansion, can't even find a seat in the main hall to listen to storytelling, you have to stand. How did you end up in such a miserable state?"

"Your second brother is a blessed person. I have a mother who is the eldest princess, and an elder brother who is even more outstanding than his mother, who holds up the sky for me."

Below me, my son Yu, at only ten years old, is already a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the lowest level of the imperial examinations). If he weren't so young, his elder brother and his teacher would say that he could try for the Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations) next year.

My second son, Jun, is not as smart, steady, or cunning as his older brother, but he loves martial arts. At only six years old, he can already practice martial arts with his master without missing a single session, no matter the weather.

Little sister, you tell me, my fate is not one to struggle and suffer.

I don't do anything reckless; I just want to be a carefree playboy who walks his birds and listens to music. But my mother and older brother insist on keeping me at home to study. I'm already so old, what am I supposed to study for? Isn't that unreasonable?

Tell me, aren't they both being unreasonable?

Speaking of this, Lin Fengsong felt angry even before he had drunk any. He was very puzzled as to what his elder brother and mother were thinking.

After hearing her second brother's words, Lin Yanran felt envious and said with genuine sarcasm, "He's so lucky!"

Lin Fengsong could understand others envying him, but he couldn't understand why his younger sister envied him.

"You still envy me? You're lucky! Xuan'er is steady and sensible. He hasn't caused any trouble while serving as the Crown Prince's study companion all these years. You don't have to worry about his future."

It is said that Heng'er is doing well at Zhiren Academy.

The key point is that you have a large dowry to spend as you please, except that your brother-in-law is a bit of a womanizer.

But now that your brother-in-law is impotent, his backyard must be quiet now. What else are you dissatisfied with?

Lin Yanran is indeed quite satisfied with her current life. Compared to the fierce competition with her father's illegitimate children in her previous life, this life can be considered a retirement life.

But Lin Yanran wasn't exactly a reasonable person: "I'm satisfied with my life and my son, but who says I can't be sarcastic or critical of others?"

"You truly are a mother's daughter, amazing." Sometimes Lin Fengsong felt despair about his position in the family; he couldn't afford to offend any of his family members.

Despite his despair, Lin Fengsong didn't stop picking up food with his chopsticks.

Seeing that her second brother looked like he hadn't eaten for days, Lin Yanran teased, "Second brother, Young Master Xun, watch your table manners."

While eating, Lin Fengsong took a few moments to reply, "Okay, okay! Bring me another serving of this, this, and this. I haven't had these signature dishes from this restaurant in ages."

Lin Yanran: That's terrible!

Lin Yanran inwardly complained about her second brother, but she still honestly asked Zhu to add more. In addition to the dishes Lin Fengsong had added, Lin Yanran also ordered a few extra dishes that Lin Fengsong liked.

"Second brother, look at you, you're in a tough spot right now, and you can't get anything out of the bottom either. Why don't you find a proper job? It's better to have your own money than to have someone else's."

Lin Yanran's sincere advice to her second brother, Lin Fengsong, was definitely not because she saw how carefree his life was and wanted him to go out and suffer.

"Forget it, the meager salary from that job isn't even enough for me to listen to a song! And I'd be tied down by it all day. It's not worth it. Don't try to persuade me anymore; I'm tired of hearing that."

Lin Fengsong knew his younger sister meant well, but his life's ambition was simply to be a playboy in Cangming City, walking his birds and listening to music. Everyone's pursuits are different.

He simply doesn't like to act foolish among a group of intelligent people.

Lin Yanran knew that saying such things too often would annoy people, so after she said it once and was rejected by her second brother, she stopped saying it.

After the two finished lunch, Lin Fengsong did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in Lin Yanran's private room and listened to storytelling for the whole afternoon.

The brother and sister listened to the audiobook and chatted, finding it quite interesting. They had a lot in common when it came to food, drink, and entertainment.

When it was late afternoon, they had dinner at Lin Yanran's private room before returning to their respective residences.

Before parting, Lin Fengsong asked Lin Yanran expectantly, "Little sister, where are you going tomorrow? Do you need a free bodyguard?"

"No." Lin Yanran said, and left without looking back.

Because she chatted with her second brother, Lin Fengsong, for a while, it was already dark when Lin Yanran arrived at the mansion.

Meanwhile, Marquis Wenxuan, who was deeply trusted by the Emperor and had one task after another in his hands, was already waiting for Lin Yanran in the main courtyard.

As soon as Lin Yanran returned to the main courtyard with her entourage, she heard Marquis Wenxuan, Chu Mochen, speaking in a sarcastic tone, "Where has Madam been? Returning so late. Madam is living quite well!"

"Your Excellency is envious? You can give your title to Xuan'er and live as freely as I do."

While verbally arguing with Chu Mochen, Lin Yanran sat down in front of the dressing table and gestured for the servants to remove all the jewelry from her head.
