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

Chu Mochen even dismissed the servants attending to Madam Hou, and personally carried the medicine, sat down in front of Madam Hou's bed, carefully blew on it to cool it down, and fed it to Madam Hou.

Madam Hou showed absolutely no appreciation for Chu Mochen's service. All she could think about were the words the imperial physician had just said: "She won't get better in the future; this is all she'll be like."

The more Madam Hou thought about it, the more unwilling she became. The more unwilling she became, the angrier she got, and the less she could control herself. She wanted to destroy everything.

So when Chu Mochen brought the medicine spoon over, Old Madam Hou did not hesitate to reach out and knock the medicine bowl out of Chu Mochen's hand.

Madam Hou exclaimed excitedly, "What are you going to drink? These quack doctors' prescriptions won't cure anything!"

Although Chu Mochen couldn't understand what his mother was saying, the act of overturning the medicine bowl made him quite angry.

Chu Mochen calmly squatted down and picked up the broken medicine bowl from the ground piece by piece. Then, he used a handkerchief to wipe the medicine stains off his hands and body.

During this time, Old Madam Hou angrily launched into another tirade of curses.

Looking at Old Madam Hou like this, Chu Mochen immediately smiled. "Mother, there's a saying that goes, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' Now that you're in this state, you can't go outside and say that your son is unfilial, can you?"

Most importantly, your current state has nothing to do with your son; it's all because your second brother and sister-in-law are unfilial and have ruined you.

If you have any grievances, or if you want to accuse someone of filial impiety, your second brother and sister-in-law will be the first to be targeted.

"Ahhh...you..." Old Madam Hou understood the meaning behind her eldest son's words. There was not a trace of filial piety in them, only a strong sense of threat.

"When you were doing well, you were biased towards your second brother and made unreasonable demands. Now your son thinks it's pretty good."

The son isn't worried that one day he'll wake up to find that you've moved the Marquis's mansion to his second brother's place.

However, I am a dutiful son, and although I feel this is better for me, I will still ask the imperial physician to treat you.

Whether you cooperate or not is up to you; your son doesn't care.

After finishing his speech, Chu Mochen instructed the servants around Madam Hou to brew another bowl of medicine for her. He then casually tossed the handkerchief he used to wipe his hands on the ground and left.

Completely disregarding the fact that the furious and nearly fainting Old Madam Hou was lying in bed after being attacked, she was utterly ignoring the situation.

Chu Mochen felt that he had already been very restrained in his words. If it weren't for the fact that he was in mourning for the deceased Old Madam Hou, he could have said even more outrageous things.

After leaving the old lady Hou's backyard, Chu Mochen went directly to his own backyard, where he sat with Aunt Shui and Aunt Zhou for a while, and looked at his chubby son who was almost able to walk.

He then went to comfort Miao Xiaoxiao, who had just become his concubine, and finally, at Miao Xiaoxiao's urging, he reluctantly went to Aunt Sun's courtyard.

In fact, Miao Xiaoxiao and Aunt Sun look somewhat similar, so since Miao Xiaoxiao came into the picture, Chu Mochen has been thinking about Aunt Sun less and less.

When Aunt Sun saw Chu Mochen, tears began to stream down her face. "The Marquis has lost weight!"

As soon as Chu Mochen returned, he dealt with various matters. His wife, mother, and other concubines did not care whether he was tired from his business trips.

Aunt Sun's concern instantly made Chu Mochen feel like he had returned home.

Chu Mochen smiled and helped Aunt Sun up. "I'm fine. How have you been these past few days in the manor? How's Yun'er?"

"I am well. Although Yun'er has been sick a few times, he has pulled through. It's just that the imperial physician advised Yun'er to take good care of himself in the future, and I'm afraid he won't be able to study or practice martial arts anymore."

"What I'm really worried about now is what will happen to our Yun'er when he grows up?"

As she spoke, Aunt Sun occasionally revealed a slightly bewildered expression.

Chu Mochen now has two more illegitimate sons, and his affection for this illegitimate son, who is destined to have no future, is just so-so.

It could also be said that Chu Mochen didn't care anymore, so he patted Aunt Sun's hand and said, "Just let Yun'er take good care of herself. It's not like we can't afford to raise Yun'er for the rest of her life."

Aunt Sun felt that if she had the family background and status of a madam, she would definitely have nothing to worry about.

But she is only a concubine now, and a concubine who has offended the Madam and the Heir Apparent. After the Marquis is gone, will the Heir Apparent tolerate the mother and daughter?

Now that Yun'er has no future, how could she not be anxious?

Although Aunt Sun had a thousand thoughts, she would no longer relentlessly pursue Chu Mochen this time. "I will listen to whatever you say, my lord. I'm just having some random thoughts all day."

Chu Mochen smiled and promised Aunt Sun, "I know you're worried about Yun'er. Don't worry, I'll leave Yun'er a legacy in the future."

Chu Mochen thought to himself that he had brought back two boxes of good things from outside this time, and he would have someone send some to Aunt Sun when he got back.

At this time, Chu Mochen was unaware that there was a mole in his courtyard, and that Chu Yunxuan had already moved those two boxes of valuable items to the main courtyard to curry favor with Lin Yanran.

As for taking without asking being considered stealing, Chu Yunxuan felt that he had simply misunderstood, thinking that his father was taking care of the child for his mother, and that he was just eager to take credit for his father.

Chu Mochen stayed with Aunt Sun until after dinner before returning to the front yard.

Chu Mochen was planning to go back to the front yard to sleep, but as soon as he returned, a trusted aide immediately reported, "The young master has come to the yard and ordered people to carry away the two boxes of things that you brought back, Lord Marquis."

Chu Mochen, who was already dozing off, not only instantly woke up, but his voice also became distorted, "Say it again?"

Those who returned could only silently lower their heads to the ground, waiting for the storm to arrive.

Chu Mochen kicked the table next to him. "Do you know where the young master took those things?"

The person kneeling below can answer this question: "The Crown Prince ordered his men to carry the things directly to the Lady of the Main Courtyard."

Chu Mochen paced around the room a few times, then asked angrily, "How did you know about those two boxes, Young Master?"

"The young master must have come to try his luck. He wandered around the courtyard a few times and took some other things with him." The person reporting back spoke softer and softer.

Chu Mochen... "It's hard to guard against a thief within the family! It's hard to guard against a thief within the family!"

Knowing he couldn't get his things back, Chu Mochen angrily lay down on the bed, trying to force himself to fall asleep, but he couldn't sleep because he was thinking about all the good stuff he had worked so hard to find!

In the end, Chu Mochen got up and went to the main courtyard.

As soon as Chu Mochen entered Lin Yanran's inner room, he saw many of the things from his two boxes, which had already been placed in the lady's inner room.

When Lin Yanran saw Chu Mochen staring intently at the new decorations in her room as soon as he entered, she asked, "Why is the Marquis so reluctant to part with these fine things of yours?"

Chu Mochen gave Lin Yanran an awkward smile. "Madam, why don't you leave a couple of items for me? I really don't have anything good left."

"I, as your husband, also have to attend social events on a regular basis."

Lin Yanran smiled and pointed to the box next to her, "I left some for the Marquis; the rest of you can take them!"
