Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 230: Roast Duck

It was hard for He Changdi to hold back his emotions; he was about to catch Chu Lian for a round of intimate snuggling when she abruptly rejected him.

Chu Lian's fair hands covered his thin lips. "You can't! I have to meet Princess Wei in a short moment."

He Changdi did his best to restrain himself and simply groped her chest a little. He whispered something softly into her ear.

Whatever he said made Chu Lian flush bright red. She pressed her lips together, struggling to find a response.

He Changdi watched her with his black pupils as his hands started misbehaving again. Chu Lian knew that he had a domineering personality, so she quickly pleaded for mercy and agreed to his request.

He Sanlang finally broke out into a smile.

"If only it was already night time."

Chu Lian's reaction to his words was a harsh pinch to his arm.

Unfortunately, He Changdi's biceps were rather tough, so it was Chu Lian's fingers that hurt instead.

After a few minutes, Chu Lian asked, "What happened to your aunt?"

She had been curious about Eldest Madam's past since yesterday. However, He Sanlang had turned into a pervert the moment he had returned, so she hadn't been able to find a chance to ask.

Luckily, they had some time now.

The only ones who knew about matters in the estate from two decades ago were the matriarch's old servants. They were also likely to be the matriarch's closest aides, so she couldn't just ask them about it. The original novel hadn't mentioned anything about He Ying and her daughter either, so if she wanted to know more, the quickest way would be to ask He Changdi.

He had plenty of useful subordinates around and he could even ask his mother, Countess Jing'an, so he probably knew most of it.

He Sanlang poked Chu Lian's forehead with a finger. "You're only thinking to ask your husband now? I thought you weren't interested in that matter anymore!"

The trust and reliance his wife had for him satisfied He Sanlang's male ego.

A soothing warmth suffused his heart.

Chu Lian glared at him. She had been wanting to ask for a while, but this great pervert hadn't given her the chance!

When He Changdi had been born, Eldest Madam He Ying had already married off to Siyang, so he didn't have any impression of this aunt of his. It was Countess Jing'an who actually had more of an impression of the past He Ying.

The majority of what He Sanlang knew of his aunt had come from his mother.

He Ying was Matriarch He's only daughter. She was the Eldest Miss of the He Estate back then.

When Count Jing'an and He Ying had still been young, Matriarch He had followed the old Count to the battlefields. The foundation of the He Family hadn't been very stable back then, and they had had only a pitiful number of family members.

Count Jing'an, He Yanwen, was seven years older than this little sister, He Ying. When the old Count had gone to battle, He Yanwen had been old enough to follow his parents into the army. However, He Ying had only been two or three then, so Matriarch He had no choice but to leave He Ying behind in the care of her mother-in-law. She also left some trusted maidservants in the old He residence to watch over her daughter.

The couple had then taken their son with them to the army, leaving only He Ying and her grandmother behind in the family residence.

Matriarch He's mother-in-law was already old by then, and she spoiled her granddaughter. She had been the one to raise He Ying alone until she turned seven. During that time, Matriarch He and the old Count had only returned three times.
