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

Lin Yanran seemed to remember that in the novel, Chu Xiyao's eldest son had innate superhuman strength, but it was kept secret from the royal family because of their fear.

If Chu Yunxuan pushes someone to a certain level, they might suffer a great loss.

But Lin Yanran couldn't just tell Chu Yunxuan this news directly, since her sister-in-law had gone to the border when she was pregnant with her eldest daughter and hadn't returned all these years.

The novel states that no one except Chu Xiyao and General Ma knew about this matter, so it's suspicious that Lin Yanran knew.

However, Lin Yanran still instructed that they should wait until the others arrived and then test the waters.

"Don't talk big. Although your two cousins ​​are five or six years younger than you, they grew up on the frontier and were personally trained by their father, a great general. Their skills may not be inferior to yours."

"Yes, Mother, don't worry, I won't act impulsively." Chu Yunxuan nodded solemnly, thinking to himself that his older cousin was hiding some great strength, and he needed to find a way to cripple that so-called divine power.

As Chu Yunxuan was thinking this, he caught a glimpse of Wen Zhu standing to the side.

Chu Yunxuan, on a sudden impulse, leaned closer to Lin Yanran and whispered, "Mother, is there any medicine that can cripple a person's strength?"

Wen Zhu was standing right next to Lin Yanran, so of course she heard it too. Besides, the young master kept glancing at her out of the corner of her eye. Wen Zhu shook her head helplessly, "Young master, this servant only knows how to take care of my health."

As for treating illnesses and saving lives, such a difficult task is something she wouldn't do openly.

However, Wenzhu felt that Wenju should have a solution, but since the prince didn't know about Wenju's abilities, she couldn't speak carelessly.

Chu Yunxuan understood what Wen Zhu meant; she didn't have it. Chu Yunxuan sighed in disappointment, "That's a pity."

What's a pity? Of course, it's a pity that we couldn't let that kid Ma Zhongzheng suffer a loss in silence. In his past life, his little cousin had often made him suffer in secret by taking advantage of his unknown superhuman strength.

Lin Yanran, who vaguely remembered the plot, knew from her eldest son's question that he knew Ma Zhongzheng had supernatural powers.

She was quite happy; now that her eldest son knew, she wouldn't have to rack her brains to find a way to tell Chu Yunxuan.

Seeing the regret on her eldest son's face, Lin Yanran couldn't bear to disappoint him. "I'll help you look for it."

When Chu Yunxuan heard Lin Yanran say this, he felt that the matter should be settled.

Based on Chu Yunxuan's understanding of his mother over the past two years, if his mother truly didn't know where to find this medicine, she would definitely have refused outright.

So Chu Yunxuan excitedly instructed, "Then you must be discreet, you can't let anyone find out."

Lin Yanran nodded with amusement and teased, "Can our Marquis Wenxuan's heir go back to rest now?"

Chu Yunxuan immediately resumed his demeanor as a refined gentleman, rising to bow respectfully to Lin Yanran, "Mother, please rest early as well. Your son takes his leave!"

Chu Yunxuan came out of Lin Yanran's main courtyard, his heart filled with joy. He was looking forward to the return of his aunt and the others.

The cautious Chu Yunxuan instructed Qian Duo to thoroughly investigate everyone in the manor, making sure nothing that shouldn't be revealed was leaked.

To prevent Chu Mochen's madness from implicating others, someone was also sent to Zhiren Academy to tell his second brother, Chu Yunheng, to focus on his studies at the academy and not return to the Marquis's residence.

After Chu Yunxuan had dealt with everything and instructed someone to guard the gate of his courtyard, he finally felt at ease enough to sleep.

As for the servants guarding Chu Yunxuan's gate, they were all highly skilled men whom Chu Yunxuan had hired at great expense, precisely to prevent his "good father" from storming into his courtyard in the middle of the night and killing him.

Chu Yunxuan knew all too well what it meant to "avoid standing under a dangerous wall".

While Lin Yanran and Chu Yunxuan were already fast asleep, Shiyun Courtyard was still bustling with noise.

Chu Mochen first spent half the night with the family physician, managing to save Chu Yunyun's life, and then went to the next room to see Aunt Sun.

When Chu Mochen entered, Aunt Sun had already fallen asleep after the servants had treated her wounds from the beating.

He stood by Aunt Sun's bedside for a while, and looking at her hair, which was wet with sweat from the pain, Chu Mochen felt a pang of guilt.

Chu Mochen patted his body, intending to leave some silver for Aunt Sun, but after searching for a long time, he only managed to pull out a one-hundred-tael silver note.

Chu Mochen looked at the one hundred tael silver note, his heart torn between reluctance and guilt. In the end, reluctance prevailed, and he silently put the silver note back.

He slowly untied the jade pendant from his waist and placed it in Aunt Sun's hand before leaving with his entourage.

As for why Chu Mochen was reluctant to part with the silver notes but willing to part with the more valuable jade pendant...

Aunt Sun could have the jade pendant that Chu Mochen wore sold or pawned, but not him!

If Chu Mochen's people were to pawn or sell the jade pendant, it wouldn't be long before the news of the Marquis's downfall would spread throughout the entire Cangming nobility.

After leaving Shiyun Courtyard, Chu Mochen headed straight for Chu Yunxuan's Qingyun Courtyard.

Initially, Chu Mochen's intention was to teach this rebellious son a lesson.

However, when Chu Mochen saw the two guards at the courtyard gate, he suddenly felt a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and feeling). It turned out that the father-son relationship between him and Chu Yunxuan had deteriorated to the point that even in his own residence, the guards had to be highly skilled, which showed who they were trying to protect against.

Chu Mochen stood outside the gate of Qingyun Courtyard, looking at the courtyard, feeling a sadness of not being trusted.

Chu Yunxuan was his eldest son, and Chu Mochen believed that he had done his best for this son over the years.

Even though he called him a rebellious son and said he would teach him a lesson, he never actually did anything to him, yet he guarded against him to this extent.

Chu Mochen stood at the entrance of Qingyun Courtyard for a long time before saying to the two guards, "Go and wake your young master up."

The two men didn't move, but instead called out in a low voice into the courtyard, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, someone has gone in to inform the Heir Apparent."

Chu Yunxuan had been asleep for more than two hours, so he wasn't grumpy when he was woken up. After getting dressed, he sat down at the tea table in the outer room and then instructed Qian Lai, "Go and let the Marquis in."

Upon hearing this, Qian Lai immediately went out, his face beaming as he bowed to Chu Mochen at the courtyard gate, "My lord, the young master invites you in."

Chu Mochen snorted coldly, ordered the servants around him to disperse, and went in alone.

He wasn't as cowardly as his eldest son. Chu Mochen didn't believe that this rebellious son would actually dare to kill his father.

After entering the house, Chu Mochen sat down directly opposite his eldest son. "What? Now you can't even be polite to your father?"

"There are no outsiders here. As father and son, it doesn't matter whether we perform the proper etiquette or not."

Chu Yunxuan's words made Chu Mochen laugh in anger, "What's wrong with our father-son relationship? Have I been bad to you all these years?"

Others might fear their fathers, but Chu Yunxuan was not. "It's not fair to say he's good! After all, my father didn't personally teach me anything, nor did he take care of my food, clothing, and shelter. Even when I returned home from resting in the palace, my father spent most of his time with my third brother and the others."
