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

Chu Mochen roared in frustration, "Chu Yunxuan, what are you doing? That's your own brother! Release him right now!"

Aunt Sun kept calling out "Lord Marquis, save me!" and "Yun'er!" Her eyes were fixed on Chu Yunxuan as if they were poisoned.

Lin Yanran, who was leisurely following behind, had already ordered her men to surround Shiyun Courtyard and ordered that what happened in Shiyun Courtyard must not be spread outside, otherwise they should not blame her for not letting them live.

Wenmei was quite perceptive and had someone move a chair to a corner of the yard so that Lin Yanran could sit and watch the excitement.

Lin Yanran sat in the corner, calmly watching the commotion unfold before her.

Seeing that Chu Yunxuan not only ignored his words but also slapped Chu Yunyun across the face twice, Chu Mochen drew his sword from his waist and roared at Chu Yunxuan, "You unfilial son, put your brother down right now, or don't blame your father for being impolite."

Seeing Chu Mochen's furious outburst, Lin Yanran gloated and fanned the flames, "My lord, please don't be impulsive. Xuan'er is our eldest son."

Xuan'er just likes to play with Yun'er. Don't worry, if Yun'er is gone, I promise to take you a few more concubines and have them give you a few healthy illegitimate sons.

You can let Xuan'er play with this!

Lin Yanran would not sympathize with Aunt Sun and Chu Yunyun. If it weren't for what the two of them said in front of Chu Mochen, would Chu Mochen have been waiting there to cause trouble for her and Xuan'er?

Since Aunt Sun and her son dared to do this, they should bear the consequences of offending the wrong people.

Upon hearing this, Chu Mochen turned around in disbelief and glared at Lin Yanran. "Ran'er, you've changed! How have you become so vicious?"

Lin Yanran felt like she was going to throw up her lunch. "Is it possible that I've always been this vicious? Mainly because I've never had a partner before who would make me vicious! I can't be vicious to my own child, can I?"

Chu Mochen glanced anxiously at Chu Yunyun, who was being held by Chu Yunxuan, then looked at Lin Yanran and said threateningly, "Lin Yanran... hurry up and make that bastard put his brother down, or I'll have him beaten to death with family law."

In truth, Chu Mochen didn't care that much about the life or death of his half-dead son; what he cared about was his reputation.

This brat Chu Yunxuan dares to disobey him now; what will he be like in the future?

Lin Yanran remained completely unfazed. Unless Chu Mochen had truly gone mad, he couldn't possibly have made such a fuss over this matter. His favoritism towards his concubine over his wife and his failure to properly raise his children were stains on his reputation. "Then, Marquis, you may go!"

Lin Yanran's confidence stemmed not only from her mother being a princess, but also from the fact that her mother's mother, the Empress Dowager, was still alive.

Although the Empress Dowager has spent most of her years living in luxury on the imperial estate, as long as she is alive, her mother's protective charm is particularly powerful.

So if Lin Yanran really gets into any big trouble, the Eldest Princess will definitely protect her, and the Empress Dowager will definitely protect the Eldest Princess as well.

Seeing that Lin Yanran was unmoved by his words, Chu Mochen had no choice but to actually take up his sword and attack himself. Then it was Chu Mochen's turn to attack, while Chu Yunxuan used Chu Yunyun as a human shield, blocking the attacks with great ease.

Chu Mochen didn't want to bear the stigma of killing his own son, so he was destined to act cautiously, even if it meant harming a child.

No matter the time, normal people are afraid of truly insane people. Obviously, in some ways, Chu Yunxuan is truly insane, while Chu Mochen can barely be considered normal.

Chu Mochen and Chu Yunxuan fought back and forth for a long time, with Lin Yanran's laughter and Aunt Sun's pleas for mercy.

Aunt Sun was truly terrified this time. Had she known that the young master and his wife were so vicious, she certainly wouldn't have used them as pawns.

In fact, Aunt Sun was just playing the victim in front of Chu Mochen and incidentally sowing discord between the Madam and the Heir Apparent. She had no intention of making Chu Mochen cause trouble for the Madam and the Heir Apparent.

Aunt Sun simply wanted Chu Mochen to take pity on her and her son, hoping he would grant them more privileges and subsidies. After all, Chu Yunyun was currently ill, and their meager monthly allowances and stipends were far from enough to cover their expenses.

If Aunt Sun hadn't pawned some of Chu Ruoyu's jewelry, their lives would have been even more miserable.

In this grand mansion, if you want to eat or use anything beyond your allotted portion, you have to pay extra.

Chu Mochen was no longer as generous as before. When the three of them lived in the outer house, Chu Mochen would always leave them plenty of silver notes and good things whenever he came.

Now that it has a formal status, those things are gone.

After all these events, Aunt Sun finally understood why everyone said it was not easy to be a concubine.

After several rounds of back-and-forth tugging, Chu Mochen saw that Chu Yunyun's face was getting redder and redder and his breath was getting weaker and weaker, so he had no choice but to give in and stop.

Chu Mochen had calmed down by now. If Chu Yunyun were to get into real trouble because of this, Lin Yanran and her son would definitely blame him for it.

Even if he had ten mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly, after all, he was the one who broke his promise, had a reputation for being a womanizer, and then Aunt Sun drugged him.

On the contrary, everyone would definitely believe it if Lin Yanran and her son said that they were taking revenge on Aunt Sun for this.

He said he had forgiven Aunt Sun, which people found impossible. After all, in the eyes of the world, what man wouldn't mind his impotence?

As Chu Mochen sheathed his sword, he demanded, "What exactly will it take for you to let go of your brother?"

Upon hearing his father's question, Chu Yunxuan immediately smiled and said, "If Father had said so earlier, I wouldn't have made things difficult for my third brother. I love my brother the most."

"Considering you're the son's father, I'll give you a discount. Please give me and my mother ten thousand taels of silver to calm our nerves!"

Upon hearing this, both Chu Mochen and Aunt Sun, who was lying on the ground half-dead, looked up at Chu Yunxuan at the same time.

At this moment, Chu Mochen and Aunt Sun were surprisingly in agreement: could Chu Yunyun, who was half-dead, really be worth so much?

Once she came to her senses, Aunt Sun thought to herself, if the Marquis could give her and Yun'er so much, why would she and Yun'er still be fighting?

However, Aunt Sun had no right to speak here. Besides, she was lying on the ground, her whole body aching, and she didn't even dare to cry out in pain, for fear that the Madam and the Heir Apparent would notice her.

Aunt Sun was still dreaming of a comeback and a triumphant return; she was unwilling to die before she could even enjoy her wealth and honor.

Chu Mochen snapped out of his daze and began to haggle, "One thousand taels."

Chu Yunxuan felt that if his father was really willing to spend money, he might spare his half-brother's life. He might even have the family physician give him a proper check-up, since he was worth the money.

"Nine thousand taels is too little; it's not enough for me to go through this ordeal."
