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

Lin Yanran accepted the account book and, of course, carefully flipped through it. When she saw the account book that had just been balanced, she sneered and ordered Wenju to put it away.

When Ju came to report that evening that the Marquis had gone to Shiyun Courtyard again, Lin Yanran didn't pay much attention. She just thought that Aunt Sun was really a person who could bend and stretch.

Lin Yanran instructed Wenju to take advantage of the purge of Shiyun Courtyard to find two more people to infiltrate the courtyard, and then Lin Yanran went to sleep.

Since coming into this world, Lin Yanran has maintained a very regular daily routine. Perhaps the feeling of dying once was too terrifying, and now she just wants to live a good life.

Originally, Aunt Sun thought that after this incident, the Marquis would be able to stay in her courtyard for ten days or half a month.

On the third day, a memorial about the floods in the south was delivered to the emperor, and the entire court was busy. Of course, Chu Mochen had no time to go to the backyard.

Because Chu Mochen was the imperial envoy chosen by the emperor to go to the south for disaster relief, he was so busy that he had no time to think about the affairs of the mansion.

Things happened so fast that two days later, Chu Mochen set off with his luggage and servants, leaving the entire Marquis's mansion to Lin Yanran and the Old Madam of the Marquis's residence.

However, the night before Chu Mochen departed, he made a special trip to see Old Madam Hou, mainly to emphasize that, "If anything happens in the manor, everything should be done according to Lin Yanran's wishes."

So, no sooner had Chu Mochen left than Madam Xie, the matriarch of the Hou family, fell ill.

Madam Hou's idea was that since her son had gone to such a dangerous place for disaster relief, she figured the royal family wouldn't interfere if she had her daughter-in-law take care of her.

Therefore, on the day Madam Hou fell ill, she asked her three daughters-in-law to take turns caring for her.

Of course, this rotation is from large to small, so it was Lin Yanran's turn on the first day.

Lin Yanran did not refuse. After all, as a princess, everyone should be able to understand if she didn't serve people well.

When Madam Hou saw Lin Yanran enter with her entourage, her eyes lit up instantly upon seeing the bowl of bitter medicine in front of her.

Madam Hou leaned against the headboard, warmly greeting Lin Yanran while also asking Ruyue to hand the medicine bowl to her.

Ruyue had already advised Madam Hou last night, and now that Madam Hou saw her, she forgot everything they had agreed on last night.

As Ruyue sighed inwardly, she handed the medicine bowl to the lady.

Fearing she might be caught in the middle and not know what to do, Ruyue handed the medicine bowl to Lin Yanran and then respectfully led the maids out of the room.

Lin Yanran smiled and held the medicine bowl, "Mother, your daughter-in-law is feeding you your medicine."

Madam Hou found her eldest daughter-in-law, who was so obedient, to be more pleasing to the eye. "Yes, I knew Ran'er was filial."

Lin Yanran stirred the medicine bowl with a spoon, and when she scooped up a small spoonful and brought it close to Old Madam Hou, the entire bowl of medicine slipped directly from her hand.

The entire bowl of medicine was spilled on Old Madam Hou.

Old Madam Hou scolded loudly, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Yanran smiled and explained, "Mother, don't be angry. Your daughter-in-law has never served anyone before, so it's understandable that she's a little rusty. Don't worry, your daughter-in-law will definitely get it after a few more tries."

Madam Hou...

"Mother, let your daughter-in-law help you change your clothes before you take your medicine!" After saying this, Lin Yanran didn't wait for Madam Hou's consent and directly reached out and pulled the quilt aside.

Then they started taking off my clothes. In short, their movements were rough, and occasionally my clothes were torn a little. They were also slow to put on my clothes because I was a little cold, but there were no other problems.

Despite the risk of actually catching a cold, Madam Hou wanted to enjoy being served by her eldest daughter-in-law, who was high and mighty. Her motto was to deliberately seek out hardship even if it meant no suffering.

After Lin Yanran changed Madam Hou's clothes, when she fed her medicine, the bowl didn't slip this time, but with each spoonful, most of it would fall onto Madam Hou's body.

Madam Hou was furious. "Eldest daughter, if you don't want to serve an old woman like me, you don't have to. Just let Zhou and Wu serve you."

Lin Yanran paid no attention to Old Madam Hou's sarcastic remarks. As she began to tear off her clothes, she protested her innocence:

"Look at what Mother said. Everyone has to go through a learning process. You can't give your daughters-in-law more opportunities to be filial to you, and you can't be biased towards your second and third sister-in-laws."

After waiting for Lin Yanran to pick up a bowl of medicine again, Madam Hou, not wanting to be served like this again while changing clothes, snatched the bowl from Lin Yanran and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he slammed the bowl down on the bedside table.

Lin Yanran, of course, was very perceptive. She immediately took some candied fruit from the plate that Wenju was carrying and offered it to Old Madam Hou, saying, "Mother, please have some candied fruit to sweeten your taste buds."

Old Madam Hou glared at Lin Yanran with annoyance, then took the candied fruit and fed it to her.

"Ugh, why is it so bitter?" At this moment, the old lady's eyes were practically spitting fire as she looked at Lin Yanran.

"My daughter-in-law was worried that the candied fruit would affect the efficacy of the medicine, so she specially had it soaked in the best Coptis chinensis..."

The more Madam Hou listened, the more bitter her mouth felt. She was now quite certain that Lin Yanran, this ruthless woman, was doing it on purpose. "Water...water..."

Lin Yanran immediately poured a cup of hot water and handed it over. Old Madam Hou took a big gulp, then spat it all out, crying out, "Lin Yanran..."

Lin Yanran looked at Old Madam Hou with disapproval, as if she were looking at someone's willful child. "Mother, good medicine tastes bitter. You can't just think the medicine is bitter because you're being temperamental..."

"Shut up!" If it weren't for a little bit of resentment holding her back, Old Madam Hou would have made this ruthless guy go as far away as possible.

The two women fought like this all day, and the old lady, Madam Xie, didn't even have time to take a nap.

Every time she just closed her eyes, Lin Yanran would find all sorts of excuses to wake her up, asking her if she wanted water, if she needed to use the restroom, if she wanted fruit, or if she wanted snacks.

Every time Old Madam Hou spoke, Lin Yanran would look aggrieved.

Madam Hou didn't dare to actually lay a hand on her, so she could only say a few sarcastic things to Lin Yanran. But Lin Yanran acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, and she still called out to her as usual.

Madam Hou...

Finally, evening arrived. To Madam Hou's surprise, Lin Yanran, who had been up all day, actually volunteered to keep watch.

For the sake of her own life, Madam Hou quickly refused.

Lin Yanran was not someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will; she took the initiative to keep watch for Old Madam Hou.

That night, Madam Hou got up to use the toilet more than ten times. When Zhou came the next day, Madam Hou was really sick. She not only coughed incessantly, but also fell asleep while talking.

Madam Zhou quickly summoned the family physician to come and take a look, and she was busy all day long.
