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

Lin Yanran smiled and replied, "I heard from Wenmei that you rested late last night and came here early this morning."

After you finish your breakfast, go back to your yard and get some sleep. You should take better care of your health when you're young.

Fearing that Chu Yunxuan would refuse, Lin Yanran waved for all the servants around her to leave before revealing to Chu Yunxuan, "You don't need to worry about my health. Wenzhu, who is with me, is a doctor, and her medical skills are quite good."

Chu Yunxuan was quite surprised to hear this. After Lin Yanran's sudden and serious illness last time, Chu Yunxuan had guessed that his mother had someone who could treat illnesses, but he guessed it was Wen Ju.

Chu Yunxuan asked directly, "Oh, you're asking Aunt Zhu? I thought you were asking Aunt Ju! What would you like to ask Aunt Ju?"

According to Chu Yunxuan's observation, his mother never brought Wenju with her when she entered the palace, and Chu Yunxuan felt that there must be some reason for this.

Lin Yanran didn't want anyone to know that Wenju, who was by her side, was skilled at making poisons, not even her eldest son.

So Lin Yanran avoided the main point and said, "Oh, you asked if Aunt Ju likes to keep small animals."

Hearing his mother say this, Chu Yunxuan became even more curious. "For example?"

Lin Yanran tried to keep it casual, saying, "I just keep some scorpions or something, it's just a personal hobby."

Chu Yunxuan wasn't too surprised by this, after all, after Wenju and the others passed away in his previous life, the people in the manor did find these things that would frighten ordinary people in Wenju's room.

If Chu Yunxuan hadn't known that Wenju was bold, he wouldn't have guessed that Wenju knew medicine so quickly.

"Mother, aren't you afraid of those things?" Chu Yunxuan felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep if someone around him kept them.

Lin Yanran smiled and shook her head. "Those who want to harm others will always find a way to do so invisibly."

Mei and the others have been with me since I was little, and we have a deep friendship.

Besides, they all came from rather pitiful backgrounds and had no relatives in this world, so there was no question of them betraying their faith for the sake of their relatives.

Besides, your mother isn't the kind of person who forbids them from getting married. If they meet someone they like, they can marry or redeem themselves if they want.

I think the probability of them betraying me is quite small.

Lin Yanran couldn't possibly abandon capable people and hire idiots just to avoid betrayal, could she? That would only cause her more trouble.

Chu Yunxuan frowned, not quite agreeing with his mother Lin Yanran's idea. "My son thinks differently from my mother. I prefer to use people with family members, because it's easier to control them if they have weaknesses."

Lin Yanran believed in seeking common ground while reserving differences, and she wouldn't interfere with Chu Yunxuan's thoughts. "Each has its own advantages, and there's nothing to argue about."

Chu Yunxuan wanted to say something, but remembering that after his mother passed away in his previous life, Wenmei and the others all died, he didn't say anything.

However, Chu Yunxuan would not completely trust someone just because of what happened in the past. He still did not agree with his mother's approach of completely trusting the people around her.

Chu Yunxuan thought to himself that since his mother didn't want to suspect those around her, then he would have to be more careful. He didn't want another treacherous servant like Granny Tian to appear by his mother's side.

Chu Yunxuan made up his mind and stopped talking about the topic with Lin Yanran, instead coaxing her to eat more.

Lin Yanran and Chu Yunxuan cared for each other and served each other food. After breakfast, they were both quite full.

Lin Yanran was already feeling listless, and now that she had eaten, the drowsiness on her face was becoming increasingly apparent, and she couldn't stop yawning.

Upon seeing this, Wenzhu quickly brought over the tea to aid digestion and the medicine that Lin Yanran needed.

Seeing this, Chu Yunxuan wanted to step forward and feed Lin Yanran the medicine spoonful by spoonful.

Lin Yanran waved her hand dismissively, refusing the medicine outright. She picked up the medicine and gulped it down without pausing.

After finishing her drink, Lin Yanran couldn't help but let out a burp.

She didn't show any surprise at all, after all, Lin Yanran truly treated Chu Yunxuan like her son now. She didn't feel embarrassed at all about burping in front of her son.

After seeing his mother, Lin Yanran, yawn repeatedly after finishing her medicine, Chu Yunxuan immediately got up and helped her to lie down in the inner room.

Lin Yanran was already feeling unwell, and with the added effect of the medication, she fell into a deep sleep shortly after lying down.

When Chu Yunxuan saw his mother fall into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the bed, his brows furrowed so deeply they could crush the flesh between them. He immediately whispered to the servants around him to fetch the family physician.

When Wenmei and the others saw that Chu Yunxuan had sent someone to fetch the family physician, they didn't stop him. Wenmei only gave one more instruction: to have someone close to Chu Yunxuan fetch him secretly and without making a fuss.

After the imperial physician examined Lin Yanran and said that there was nothing seriously wrong with her health and that she only needed to rest for a few days, Chu Yunxuan felt relieved and returned to his own courtyard to get back to work.

As for rest, Chu Yunxuan was too busy searching for Marquis Wenxuan's private treasury to sleep.

Like Chu Yunxuan, Chu Mochen also hadn't gotten much rest all night, and he was worried about his last line of defense.

Chu Mochen followed the men to his last secret room in the Prince's mansion that very night, where he and his confidants checked his treasures.

The inventory had been going on all night and was still not finished, which showed how substantial Chu Mochen's backup plan was.

As for the transfer, after a night of calming down, Chu Mochen slowly realized that Chu Yunxuan, that rascal, was probably bluffing him.

Otherwise, given how ruthless that kid is, if he really managed to sneak in, how could he possibly leave empty-handed?

Once Chu Mochen understood, he was even less likely to move the items.

With so many things moved, there's a good chance that this rascal might actually find them.

However, when Chu Mochen went to court the next morning, he looked extremely haggard.

Fortunately, because yesterday was the grand ceremony for bestowing the title of Crown Prince, many elderly ministers had rested overnight and were still not fully recovered.

Chu Mochen's mental state was not particularly noticeable among the group of people, which is why he did not arouse suspicion.

This time, because Chu Mochen reacted quickly and Qian Lai didn't dare to get too close, he actually managed to protect this private vault.

However, Chu Yunxuan had obtained a general range, and he was quite satisfied with it.

Anyway, he's still young and can't enter the court to make a living. He has several years of free time to look for opportunities in the mansion.

Lin Yanran rested for six days before she could barely recover.

She's not as sleepy anymore, but the symptoms of her previous weakness are still there, and she still needs to take care of herself slowly.

After the eldest prince was made crown prince, his marriage would be officially put on the agenda.

You should know that the former eldest prince, now the crown prince, has not yet had a principal wife or concubines. All the noble ministers and officials in Cangming City are eager to try their luck and seize this opportunity for wealth and power.

Some people want to gamble for this wealth, while others prefer stability and don't want this wealth.

Lin Yanran's elder brother, Lin Fengyu (and the Prince), did not want his precious daughter to gamble for this wealth.

Therefore, Lin Fengyu's wife, Madam Han, specially sent an invitation to Lin Yanran, asking her to come and take a look at the candidates together.
