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

After the eldest princess and her husband Lin returned to the mansion, as soon as they entered the main courtyard of the princess's mansion, they saw their eldest son, Lin Fengyu, standing in the courtyard waiting for them.

The eldest princess and her husband, Lin, watched their eldest son, who was smiling and stepping forward to pay his respects, and awkwardly swallowed.

The princess, who is fearless in public, is actually afraid of her eldest son at home; no one would believe it if you told them.

Looking at his father and mother's guilty expressions, Lin Fengyu felt helpless. "Tell me! Which high-ranking official from Cangming did Mother beat up today?"

Thinking about Chu Mochenqian's outrageous behavior, the princess's slight guilt vanished instantly. "I didn't beat anyone else today, I only gave my son-in-law twenty lashes."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengyu's eyes sharpened instantly. "What did Marquis Wenxuan do to anger my sister and mother?"

"Yu'er, you don't know, that scoundrel Marquis Wenxuan is keeping a mistress outside, and he already has two children, the eldest of whom is only a month younger than Heng'er."

If you were at the Marquis's residence today, you'd probably give that scoundrel a few lashes too.

When Lin Fuma spoke of that scoundrel Chu Mochen, his anger surged to his very hair. After saying this, he drank a large cup of tea to calm himself down.

"Are the rumors true? Father, have you taken action? What is my sister thinking?"

Although Lin Fengyu appeared to be smiling gently and speaking calmly, those who knew him well knew that he was exuding a dangerous aura.

"The rumors outside are all true. Your sister has matured a lot after this incident and is no longer as dramatic as before."

"Your father didn't lay a hand on me, but even if I had, I would still feel uneasy."

After the princess finished speaking, she also poured herself a large cup of tea.

Lin Fengyu thoughtfully filled his father's and mother's cups again, and gently comforted the princess, saying, "Mother, don't be angry. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. There's no need to rush."

Tomorrow when you see your maternal grandmother and your imperial uncle, just cry. The royal family is very protective of their own. If your imperial uncle makes a fuss about it, then the future of Marquis Wenxuan will be over.

As for the rest, leave it to our son. You and Father should pay more attention to your sister, and if all else fails…”

As Lin Fengyu spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture. In Lin Fengyu's view, nothing was as peaceful as losing a husband.

However, such things require careful planning and cannot be rushed.

The eldest princess and her husband, Lin, nodded hastily. Their eldest son was smarter than them, so of course whatever he said went.

As expected, Chu Mochen submitted a memorial requesting leave the next day, and the Princess was also impeached by the censor.

The eldest princess was also summoned to the palace by the emperor. After she entered the palace and paid her respects to her elder brother, before the emperor could even have someone bring out the petition against her, the eldest princess hugged the emperor's leg and burst into tears.

The emperor, who was just about to have someone bring out Princess Can's folded book, was bewildered by his younger sister's actions.

The Emperor tried to pull his leg out, but couldn't. He could only pretend to be angry: "Let's talk this out. What kind of behavior is it for a dignified prince to cry like this?"

"Your Majesty, that ungrateful scoundrel, Marquis Wenxuan, has betrayed us after we've served him. Now that he's secured his position, he's keeping a mistress, and she's already had two children with him."

Not to mention that when he proposed to Ran'er back then, he promised not to take a concubine. Even if he regrets it now, if he talks to Ran'er nicely, how could Ran'er, with her soft-hearted nature, refuse?

"By taking a mistress, they're showing no respect for the royal family."

At first, the princess was faking her tears, but now, in front of her own brother, she became more and more heartbroken, and her crying became more and more genuine.

The Emperor, feeling that Marquis Wenxuan didn't seem like a fool, hesitated and asked, "Could there be a misunderstanding here?"

"If Marquis Wenxuan hadn't personally admitted it, I wouldn't have beaten him up!"

If her eldest son hadn't told her before she left today that she shouldn't curse in front of her brother and should just cry, she would have wanted to curse all of Chu Mochen's ancestors.

Seeing his younger sister crying like this, the Emperor was quite angry. He personally handed the handkerchief to the Princess and gently comforted her, "Don't cry, I won't punish you, okay?"

"Just not punishing me..." The princess, who had already let go, clung to the emperor's leg again and cried loudly.

The Emperor had no choice but to escalate the matter further. "Yesterday, Marquis Wenxuan submitted a memorial requesting that Chu Yunxuan be made the heir apparent. I will approve it shortly. Send someone to Marquis Wenxuan's residence to announce the decree."

The Emperor's response was to the Princess cry even louder.

The Emperor tried to reason with his sister, who was clinging to his leg, saying, "Although Marquis Wenxuan's actions were wrong and suspected of provoking the royal family, Yixian is, after all, only a princess."

The current dynasty only stipulates that the husband of a prince consort is not allowed to take concubines, but there is no rule that the husband of a princess is not allowed to take concubines.

Marquis Wenxuan's behavior, no matter how you look at it, is simply a matter of moral failings, and I really cannot punish him for it.

"I promise you, I will find another excuse to punish Marquis Wenxuan by confining him to his quarters for a period of time to reflect on his mistakes. Is that acceptable?"

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, the eldest princess inwardly pursed her lips, but ultimately released the Emperor's leg.

After all, while there may be some commotion, it's important to maintain a proper bottom line and avoid upsetting the emperor.

"Then, Your Majesty, remember what you said: find a reason to punish Marquis Wenxuan. Also, if Marquis Wenxuan performs meritorious service in the future, don't reward him; reward your niece, or Xuan'er and Heng'er instead!"

As a father, it's not unreasonable to want to bring honor to your own son, is it?

The eldest princess would never allow her brother to neglect that bastard Chu Mochen! However, since she hadn't divorced Chu Mochen, they were husband and wife as one. If Chu Mochen was neglected, her own daughter's situation wouldn't be much better.

It's better to treat Chu Mochen as a tool to bring glory to her daughter and grandson.

The princess's request wasn't unreasonable, and the emperor granted it without hesitation.

When the eldest princess finally left the palace, she took a bunch of the emperor's good things with her.

The Emperor still doted on his younger sister, who was born of the same mother and knew how to behave properly. He would agree to most of her requests, as long as they weren't too unreasonable.

The Emperor also bestowed a great many gifts upon his niece, Lin Yanran, hoping that this would put his sister at ease.

With him around, no matter how much the Marquis of Wenxuan caused trouble, his niece's life wouldn't be too difficult.

The moment the eldest princess left the palace, the eunuch who was going to deliver the imperial edict to the Marquis of Wenxuan's residence also left the palace.

The person who needed to receive the imperial edict was still in the palace. In the end, the imperial edict establishing the heir apparent was received on behalf of Marquis Wenxuan, who was lying in bed.

Several hours after Marquis Wenxuan received the imperial edict, Chu Yunxuan, who was serving as a study companion in the palace, received the news and asked for leave to return home.

The Emperor, knowing about the Wenxuan Marquis's residence, granted Xu Chuyunxuan a leave of absence for half a month.
