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

Lin Yanran gave the Princess and Prince Consort Lin a fawning smile, "I was just bored, and besides, I haven't even gone outside to paint; I'm still painting through the window!"

Fearing that the princess might soften her heart, Prince Consort Lin quickly refused, "That won't do either."

Lin Yanran then turned and tugged at the princess's sleeve, "Mother..."

The eldest princess felt she was thoroughly frightened by this troublesome daughter and couldn't soften her heart at all. "Listen to your father."

Not seeing his two grandsons, Prince Consort Lin asked directly, "Where are Xuan'er and Heng'er?"

Mentioning her two sons, Lin Yanran instantly felt a surge of pride. The two of them had taken leave to return home the day after they heard she was ill and had stayed with her there for over half a month.

"Heng'er has been staying with me at home for so many days. Now that I'm better, I asked his older brother to take him to the academy today."

The eldest princess chuckled and poked Lin Yanran's head. "No wonder you dared to sit by the window and paint again today. It turns out that Xuan'er and Heng'er are not in the manor."

Lin Yanran emphasized her position, stating that she could make her own decisions, "Even if Xuan'er and Heng'er are in the mansion, they can't control me. I am the mother."

Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, responded smoothly, "People tend to emphasize what they have the least."

Lin Yanran glared at Lin Fuma with great resentment, "A daughter resembles her father, so it's normal for a father to listen to his elder brother and for me to listen to Xuan'er."

The original is like this; it's perfectly normal for my handwritten copy to be like this.

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, silently turned his head away, knowing he had no choice but to admit, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The eldest princess found it amusing to watch the identical awkward expressions on the faces of the father and daughter.

However, the eldest princess still felt sorry for her daughter, saying, "Alright, weren't you worried about our daughter and unable to sleep the other day?"

Seeing that the eldest princess sided with her daughter, Prince Consort Lin felt wronged for himself. "Look at this little rascal! He doesn't care about himself at all. How can I not be angry?"

"Cherish it, cherish it, where do you not cherish it? Father and Mother, look, it's already spring, and the fire wall in my house is still burning!"

Are you two feeling hot right now?

So I'm really not cold sitting by the window.

After Lin Yanran's reminder, the eldest princess and her husband, Lin, did indeed feel quite warm.

Lin, the prince consort, looked around the room and stood precisely in front of the wall of fire. "This is the wall of fire you mentioned before. Apart from disrupting the layout of the entire room, it really doesn't have any other drawbacks."

Lin Yanran felt that her father's words were a compliment, and she froze for a moment. "Last winter I said I'd build one for your house, but you didn't want it. Do you regret it now?"

Lin Fuma never hesitated to accept benefits. "This year, you should also build a house for me and your mother, and while you're at it, build one for your elder brother and sister-in-law as well."

I paid for it for my father.

"What about Second Brother?" Lin Yanran was just being a chatterbox.

Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, slapped his forehead in annoyance. "I forgot, there's still a debt collector in the manor. By the way, do you need to build a courtyard for your second sister-in-law?"

The underlying message is: just ask, and if you don't want to, then forget it.

The eldest princess slapped her husband's hand to shut him up, and then said to Lin Yanran, "Don't listen to your father. Du Jian, your mother in your room will also contribute money."

The eldest princess often sighed in her heart, thinking that the prince consort was good in every way, but she always felt that obedient children should be favored.

But the prince consort wasn't so much averse to children. Even if something serious happened to his second son and youngest daughter, he would still worry so much that he couldn't sleep for nights on end.

They always act so infuriating over the smallest things in everyday life.

"Don't worry, I won't hold it against my father. After all, he still has a third of his treasures stored in his daughter's storeroom! I'll let it go for the sake of the third of treasures he gave me."

Lin Yanran's mention of the treasures she received from Lin the Imperial Son-in-Law was partly intended to provoke him.

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, felt a pang of heartache thinking about how he had given away some of the treasures he had accumulated over the years to his three troublesome sons last time.

If there were only one eldest son, given his abilities, he wouldn't even bother with his treasures. Ultimately, it's all to subsidize the two incapable debt collectors born later.

The main point is that this debt collector used to cry a lot and always sided with outsiders. Now his IQ is a bit more normal, but his little mouth keeps babbling, making you want to drive him crazy.

The more Lin, the more aggrieved he felt, the more listlessly he sat down next to the princess.

Seeing her husband like this, the princess felt sorry for him again. "I've acquired a few new paintings in my private treasury. I'll have someone bring them to you for you to enjoy when we get back."

When Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, heard the Princess say this, he was also happy. He didn't have any children to worry about, but he still had the Princess!

Seeing Lin Fuma like this, Lin Yanran felt a little regretful, just a tiny bit. She went to the side and took out the painting of a spring rainy evening scene that she had drawn that day while the wind was blowing.

Lin Yanran believed that this painting was the best she had painted recently, so she gave it to her father to enjoy.

As for the masterpieces in Lin Yanran's private collection, it's best to leave them in her storage room.

Holding the painting Lin Yanran had handed him, Lin Consort Lin looked surprised. "You actually went to the trouble of plucking feathers?"

As he spoke, Prince Consort Lin unfolded the painting, commenting as he looked at it, "This painting is indeed quite well done..."

When Prince Consort Lin saw the last part, and noticed his daughter's small seal on it, his tone rose considerably, "Did you draw this?"

"Did Ran'er draw this?" The eldest princess also curiously leaned over to take a look.

The eldest princess, with her discerning eye for art, remarked, "It's truly excellent; its artistic conception is comparable to that of the masters. You've achieved considerable skill in painting!"

Lin Yanran calmly dropped another bombshell, "Oh, it's the one I painted when I was sick this time."

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, immediately rolled up the painting. "This painting belongs to your father, and you are not allowed to paint rain scenes anymore."

After all, a painting presented to the husband of the current princess could not possibly be anything less than unique.

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess gave Lin, the imperial son-in-law, an approving look, and added, "Night scenes can't be painted either, and snow scenes are out of the question too! Rain and snow are essentially the same thing."

Lin Yanran knew she had frightened her parents this time, so she obediently agreed, "I won't draw rain scenes, snow scenes, or night scenes anymore. Can you rest assured now, Father and Mother?"

The Imperial Son-in-Law Lin didn't quite believe his daughter's words, saying, "You'd better really listen to me."

Lin Yanran shamelessly annoyed everyone, saying, "As long as Father gives his daughter more treasures, his daughter promises to be obedient."

"Are you a money-devouring beast? You still want more?" After saying this, Lin Fuma didn't wait for Lin Yanran to say anything and got up to go outside.

The eldest princess gave Lin Yanran some more detailed instructions before she got up and left.

Now that their daughter's illness is barely cured, all that's left is to slowly recuperate. The Princess and Prince Consort Lin will no longer spend all their days at the Marquis's residence.

They now only visit their daughter every day, and knowing that she is doing well puts their minds at ease.
