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

Since Lin Yanran poisoned herself before the last spring hunt and fell seriously ill, she has been using the excuse of recuperating to avoid returning to the Princess's residence.

As for who she's hiding from, it's obviously her incredibly intelligent older brother.

Lin Yanran couldn't quite put her finger on why, but she always felt that when she stood in front of her older brother, Lin Fengyu, she was being seen through.

Lin Yanran never underestimates the intelligence of any era. Some people are so intelligent that they can change an era on their own, which is terrifying.

However, since Lin Yanran received an invitation from her sister-in-law this time, she couldn't refuse.

Besides, Lin Yanran quite liked her niece Lin Jiangzhuo, and now that her niece was choosing a husband, she really wanted to go and see.

Lin Yanran was going back to her parents' home, and of course she wouldn't go back empty-handed. She picked out a cartload of fine things from the storeroom of the Marquis's mansion, and also picked out a set of emerald jewelry for her niece Lin Jiangzhuo from her private treasury.

Although this set of jewelry is not suitable for my niece's age, no one would complain about having too many of these treasured possessions.

Lin Yanran always felt that it was not easy to choose a gift that someone would truly cherish, but choosing a high-value gift was definitely the right thing to do.

This time, Lin Yanran went with her eldest son, Chu Yunxuan. It wasn't that Lin Yanran insisted on dragging Chu Yunxuan along; it was that Chu Yunxuan was worried about Lin Yanran going out alone and took the initiative to ask to come along.

Chu Yunxuan himself was not very close to his maternal grandfather's family. Although his maternal grandparents had passed away in his previous life, his maternal uncles were still alive.

In particular, my eldest uncle established himself in the court in just a few years. Although he was not as powerful as my maternal grandmother was, he still had real power and status.

However, it was only when their mother passed away that the two uncles asked their younger brother, Chu Yunheng, if he was willing to go back with them.

At that time, their mother had passed away, and their younger brother, Chu Yunheng, had a deep affection for their father, so he refused.

From then on, unless he and his brother actively sought out their two uncles, the two uncles would not show any interest in them.

Chu Yunxuan could understand his two uncles' actions; it was indeed for their best. However, after his younger brother got into trouble, Chu Yunxuan found it difficult not to feel resentment.

After all, it's hard to blame yourself, but much easier to blame others. Chu Yunxuan isn't some kind of saint.

So after Chu Yunxuan was reborn, he didn't visit his maternal grandmother's house as often.

Perhaps he felt guilty for taking his anger out on someone for no reason, or perhaps Chu Yunxuan simply didn't want to see his shrewd uncle.

Chu Yunxuan himself couldn't explain the exact reason.

Regardless of Chu Yunxuan's thoughts, since his mother Lin Yanran wanted to go, and he was in the manor, he naturally had to accompany her.

Lin Yanran and her son Chu Yunxuan had breakfast at the Marquis's residence, and then they went out together to the Princess's residence.

When the Marquis's carriage arrived at the Princess's residence, it drove directly into the inner courtyard. After the carriage stopped, the first person to jump off saw his eldest uncle, Lin Fengyu, standing there with a beaming smile, waiting for him.

Chu Yunxuan smiled warmly and bowed, "Uncle!"

"Xuan'er is here!" Lin Fengyu reached out and helped Chu Yunxuan up, then stood beside the carriage, ready to help his younger sister Lin Yanran down.

Chu Yunxuan knew that his uncle truly doted on his mother, so he tactfully moved aside a little to make room for his uncle.

When Lin Yanran came out, she saw her eldest brother standing smiling beside the carriage. She was still a little surprised. "Big brother, aren't you on duty today?"

As Lin Fengyu helped Lin Yanran down, he explained, "I haven't had a break in a long time, so I'm taking a day off today."

After explaining, Lin Fengyu didn't forget to look at Lin Yanran and said, "Little sister looks a bit thinner."

Lin Yanran quickly changed the subject, "Did you wait for me here specifically, big brother?"

Lin Fengyu had waited here specifically for Lin Yanran, of course he had something to ask her, so seeing Chu Yunxuan still standing there, he simply dismissed him:

"Xuan'er, go and pay your respects to your maternal grandparents first! They've been waiting for you for a while. I have something else to discuss with your mother."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunxuan immediately bowed and left; a smart person knows how to read the room.

After watching Chu Yunxuan leave, and noticing that his servants were also discreetly following at a respectful distance, Lin Fengyu smiled and said:

"During the last spring hunt, when Her Majesty the Empress shielded the Emperor from assassins, I was quite far away and watched with a rather pounding heart."

Lin Yanran comforted him without changing her expression, "The Emperor and the Empress are both blessed with good fortune; they will surely turn danger into safety."

Lin Fengyu spoke again, "Speaking of which, it was timely that you came when I was sick that time. I want to thank you, brother..."

As Lin Fengyu spoke, he observed Lin Yanran's expressions and subtle movements to determine whether she was lying.

But Lin Yanran is not the original owner of this body, so she doesn't have any of the little expressions of panic that the original owner showed when facing her older brother.

Lin Yanran admired her older brother Lin Fengyu's keen insight, but she obviously couldn't admit to anything. However, she certainly wanted credit for it.

"Then you really should thank me, brother. If I hadn't been sick, my mother and father would have been in for a real shock."

"Big brother, just send some of your secret stash of health-promoting items to little sister."

Lin Fengyu carefully observed his younger sister's expression and subtle movements but gained nothing. However, Lin Fengyu was the kind of person who dared to make bold assumptions and quietly seek verification.

The more flawless Lin Yanran's actions seemed, the more certain he became of his suspicions.

However, Lin Yanran didn't want to talk about it, and Lin Fengyu wouldn't pry, since everyone has their own secrets and methods.

Lin Fengyu could only sigh inwardly that his little sister had grown up and it was no longer easy to get information out of her.

"When have you ever lacked good things to nourish your body, brother? Your sister-in-law has prepared a lot of good medicinal herbs for you. When you return home, she will pack them into a carriage and take them with you."

When Lin Fengyu spoke of this, his whole demeanor softened noticeably. He was in a very good mood because his wife and younger sister got along well.

"My sister-in-law still cares about me the most." After saying that, Lin Yanran pretended to rebuke her brother Lin Fengyu next to her.

Lin Fengyu explained, "I added quite a bit too."

When Lin Yanran saw that her elder brother had also brought something good, she immediately changed her tune, saying, "It's still my elder brother and sister-in-law who care about me the most."

After a few more words of bickering, Lin Fengyu and Lin Yanran arrived at the main courtyard where the Princess and her husband, Lin, lived. Even just standing outside the door, they could hear the lively atmosphere inside.

Listening to the children playing inside, and the occasional encouragement from Lin Fuma, both Lin Yanran and Lin Fengyu smiled involuntarily.

Lin Yanran only paused at the door for a moment before leaving her older brother Lin Fengyu behind and going inside, lifting her skirt without any of the composure expected of a mother.

Lin Fengyu watched his little sister's actions, smiled and sighed, realizing that his little sister had grown up and had turned into a child again in just a short while.
