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

However, Chu Mochen still sent his trusted confidants to investigate immediately, but of course they didn't find anything. After all, so much time had passed, and Chu Mochen felt it was normal that they couldn't find anything.

As for those who had doubts, Chu Mochen's first suspicion was that of his political enemies. Perhaps it was because his appointment to an important post by the Emperor had offended some people, who wanted him to observe the mourning period.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a huge favor for him.

As for his mother being bedridden and needing someone to take care of her, Chu Mochen didn't think it was a problem at all. He had so many servants to support! He didn't need to take care of her personally, so what was so difficult about it?

As for Lin Yanran and Chu Yunxuan, they were never on Chu Mochen's list of suspects.

After all, in Chu Mochen's mind, although Lin Yanran occasionally argued with his mother, she was now a straightforward person who always wanted to win or lose on the spot and was not capable of doing such meticulous things.

As for Chu Yunxuan, in Chu Mochen's mind, he was just an arrogant wolf cub who didn't know his place and always bared his teeth, looking fierce.

But what's the use of being fierce when your teeth haven't even fully grown in yet?

After beating his younger brother, Chu Mochen quickly headed towards the courtyard where Old Madam Hou lived.

As soon as Chu Mochen entered, he saw Old Madam Hou lying on the bed drooling. His face was shocked. "Mother, your son is back."

When Madam Hou saw her eldest son, she felt that her support had finally returned, and she was extremely excited, "Ahhh, Chen... Chen..."

Chu Mochen stepped forward and took the old lady Hou's hand. "Mother, you're scared. Your son will take you back to the Hou residence right away. I'll find you all sorts of doctors to see you. We'll make sure you get better."

Upon hearing her eldest son's promise, Old Madam Hou gripped Chu Mochen's hand tightly, "Ahhh..."

Madam Hou doesn't want to see her second son, Chu Mode, and Zhou Shi at all now. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't be in this state.

Upon seeing this, Chu Mochen immediately ordered his men to pack up the old lady's belongings and return to the manor. As for investigating the cause, they would leave and leave someone here to continue the investigation.

Shortly after Chu Mochen gave his instructions, Old Madam Hou was carried onto a carriage.

Chu Mochen also sent someone back to the manor at full speed, and asked Lin Yanran to send someone to the palace to invite the imperial physician. Then he led his men to the main gate to prepare to welcome the old lady Hou.

Chu Mochen wanted to demonstrate his filial piety, and Lin Yanran wouldn't undermine him on such an important matter.

So as the sun was about to set, Lin Yanran, along with everyone from the backyard, including Miao Tongfang who had only joined the backyard the day before, waited together at the main gate of the Marquis's residence.

When Chu Mochen's carriage arrived, Lin Yanran immediately called the imperial physician forward, "My lord, let the imperial physician examine my mother first, so that the servants can be careful when helping her down."

Chu Mochen was very satisfied with Lin Yanran's behavior at this moment. He stepped forward and took Lin Yanran's hand, "I know of your filial piety, Madam. But..."

Before leaving the village, I had already seen a doctor, and he said that if I was careful and supported, there wouldn't be any problems.

"Once we've settled into the manor, we'll have the imperial physician examine Mother carefully."

Lin Yanran let Chu Mochen hold her hand without changing her expression; after all, this scoundrel of a man was all she could hold hands with now.

Lin Yanran gestured with her eyes to the servants waiting to carry the old lady down and into the mansion.

As for whether the carriage could travel to the Marquis's residence, Lin Yanran felt that was unimportant.

Since Chu Mochen wanted her to bring people to meet him at the entrance of the Marquis's residence, she was determined to have the old lady of the Marquis carried into the residence.

Madam Hou didn't want to be carried in; she didn't want her disheveled state today to be known throughout the entire Cangming City.

So, Old Madam Hou excitedly tried to express her opinion, "Ah...no..."

Lin Yanran ignored Old Madam Hou's refusal, saying, "You lot, hurry up and don't keep Mother waiting."

As for his eldest son, Chu Mochen, he didn't realize at this moment that there was anything wrong with this.

In Chu Mochen's opinion, being carried was more comfortable than riding in a carriage. As for personal dignity and such, he was not the kind of person who could empathize with others.

Aunt Shui and the others, who had been kneeling at the main entrance, witnessed this scene and lowered their heads as much as they could, becoming much more subdued.

After all, Madam didn't hold back when dealing with Old Madam Hou, let alone them.

Although they all had their heads down, Aunt Sun's gaze at the floor was as if it were poisoned. She hated Old Madam Hou. If that old woman hadn't taken her daughter and abandoned her, her Yu'er wouldn't have died.

As for Lin Yanran, Aunt Sun also hated her, but she now understands that her hatred is meaningless and will only make her and her son's situation more difficult.

Aunt Sun knew in her heart that all she could do now was hope that the Marquis would recover quickly so that she and her son could have someone to rely on again.

But seeing Old Madam Hou like this, Aunt Sun felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction; this was retribution!

Chu Yunxuan then personally stepped forward and grasped the hand of Old Madam Hou, his tears flowing genuinely. "Grandmother, you're finally back! Your grandson has missed you so much..."

Chu Yunxuan cried as if the old lady Hou were already dead.

Madam Hou also felt it was bad luck, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from Chu Yunxuan's grasp. Madam Hou cursed Chu Yunxuan as a cursed jinx.

Chu Yunxuan didn't care about any of that; as long as people thought he was filial, that was enough.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yanran began to lie through her teeth, "Mother still loves her grandson. Look how happy Mother is with Xuan'er by her side."

Chu Mochen... Although he wasn't very filial, he wasn't stupid either. He couldn't be happy about his mother's behavior.

However, he was also a very filial son, and didn't want to argue with Lin Yanran at the main gate of the Marquis's residence, so he could only agree, "After all, grandparents love their grandchildren more!"

While Chu Mochen and Lin Yanran were talking, the servants had already carried Old Madam Hou into the Hou residence.

Upon seeing this, Chu Mochen and Lin Yanran stopped talking and quickly followed side by side, with the concubines and others behind them also hurrying to catch up.

Once the old lady was lying on her bed in Deyuan Courtyard, the imperial physician immediately stepped forward to examine her carefully. His conclusion was similar to that of the previous imperial physicians.

Of course, Madam Hou also heard the imperial physician's diagnosis. She excitedly waved her hands and made "ah ah" sounds.

If anyone could understand, they would know that Old Madam Hou was cursing the imperial physician as an incompetent doctor, cursing Lin Yanran for specifically hiring an incompetent doctor for her, cursing Chu Mochen as unfilial, cursing Zhou Shi for being ruthless and even harming her mother-in-law, cursing...

In short, Chu Yunxuan is not on the list of Madam Hou's enemies for the time being.

Lin Yanran didn't understand what Old Madam Hou was saying, nor did she want to. She went through all the necessary procedures at Deyuan Courtyard, then used the excuse of letting Chu Mochen and his mother have a proper chat before leaving with Chu Yunxuan.

After Lin Yanran and Chu Yunxuan left, Chu Mochen sent the concubines who were kneeling in Deyuan Courtyard back to pray for the old lady Hou.
