Chu Lian had never been treated like this by He Sanlang, and it was in public. Even if she was usually thick-skinned, she couldn't help blushing at this time.

When no one was paying attention, Chu Lian glared at He Changdi. He Sanlang pretended not to see it and continued to do whatever he wanted.

Chu Lian was helpless. She could only play dead and pretend this didn't happen.

However, the bystanders' eyes turned red with jealousy, especially sister-in-law Zou shi.

She secretly glanced at He Dalang who only cared about eating. Ever since she was grounded, the relationship between husband and wife became even more indifferent. Miaozhen was pregnant and he would occasionally go to Miaozhen's place to rest for a night. However, he hadn't stepped into her room for several months.

Thinking of this, she was filled with unwillingness and hatred.

On the other hand, Matriarch He was very happy to see Sanlang and his wife loving each other. The young couple was harmonious and she believed that she would be able to hold a great-grandchild soon.

Pan Nianzhen hung his head, his eyes disappointed. He imagined how happy he would be if she was the one by He Sanlang's side.

Mu Xiang stood in the corner, her hands clenched tightly under her wide sleeves. She didn't even feel her nails piercing her palms.

There was a trace of confusion in her eyes. The loving young couple not far away from her seemed very clear, but also very blurry.

She seemed to be mesmerized by something and couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of her.

She was the reincarnation of the Chu Lian who died in her previous life. Then who was this Chu Lian who had taken over her original body?

Was it still her?

Confusion flashed through Mu Xiang's eyes. In the next moment, they became clear and ruthless.

How could it be her!

She would never have such an expression on her face!

Mu Xiang wasn't stupid. As the original female lead, she could be said to be very smart. Coupled with her rebirth, she lived more clearly than she did in her previous life.

Since she could possess a servant girl's body and live again, then it wasn't strange that the body that originally belonged to her now belonged to someone else!

However, she was curious as to who was living in that body of hers right now!

Mu Xiang took a deep breath and hid all the doubts in her heart. She looked greedily at He Changdi again before lowering her head and becoming the Mu Xiang that others thought she was.

The enemy was in the light, and she was in the dark.

Now, this was her greatest advantage. After experiencing her previous life, she had to be even more careful in this life. She had enough patience and perseverance to make her prey fall into her trap and never escape.

Mu Xiang, who had her head lowered, smiled mysteriously.

But this time, the meticulous Mu Xiang would never have thought that He Changdi was no longer the bright and upright handsome young man from his previous life. Instead, he was the He Sanlang who had gone through the baptism of evil and ugliness. His personality was completely different from his previous life.

He Changdi, Chu Lian, and her husband returned to Shengjing after a long journey. Matriarch He didn't want the couple to stay. After the meal, she ordered them to return to their rooms to rest.

He Changdi and Chu Lian helped Countess Jing 'an out of Qingxi Hall.

Since the main character of today's family banquet had left, there was no point for the first and second branches to stay.

First, He Erlang took his leave. Then, He Dalang lifted his robe and stood up. He bowed to the matriarch and turned to leave the reception hall. The heir's wife, Madam Zou, stared at He Dalang's tall and sturdy back and bit her lip. In the end, she also left with the support of Senior Servant Qiao.

Only Matriarch He, He Ying, and her mother were left in the originally lively reception hall.

Matriarch He waved at her daughter, He Ying. "It's getting late. You two should go rest too!"

He Ying originally wanted to say something to her mother, but when she saw the exhaustion on her mother's face, she swallowed her words and pulled her daughter, Pan Nianzhen, to bow and leave.

By the time they left Countess Jing 'an's courtyard, it was already late at night.

Lanterns were hung on both sides of the road in the estate, illuminating the dark night with a warm yellow glow.

Xiyan and the others followed behind the young couple.

Now that Xiyan had experience, she lowered her head and looked at the ground in front of her. She walked slowly, gradually putting some distance between herself and the Third Young Master and Third Madam in front of her. The little servant girls behind her understood her meaning very well, and they all obediently followed behind Xiyan, lowering their eyes as they walked slowly.

He Changdi held Chu Lian's soft little hand and walked in front. It was still February, and the night was cold.

One of Chu Lian's hands was wrapped in He Changdi's, and the other hand was holding onto the hem of her heavy dress. She stumbled a little as He Changdi pulled her along.

She wanted to pull her hand out of his, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from his large, well-defined hand.

He Changdi suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes, darker than the night, swept a glance at her. Chu Lian looked up and seemed to see He Sanlang pursing his lips. In the next second, he let go of her hand.

Just as Chu Lian was surprised, He Sanlang suddenly lowered his body. He wrapped one hand around Chu Lian's slender waist and the other around her knees. Then, he lifted his body and carried Chu Lian horizontally in his arms.

She yelped in fright, then pounded He Sanlang's sturdy chest twice. She said angrily, "He Changdi, what are you doing? Put me down!"

He Sanlang lowered his eyes to look at Chu Lian. He lowered his head and quickly pecked her soft and fair face. He warned her in a deep and magnetic voice, "Behave yourself."

Chu Lian was extremely annoyed, but hitting him would only make her hand hurt.

After spending a few months with him, Chu Lian had long understood his difficult temper.

Thus, she softened her voice and begged, "Husband, put me down. I can walk by myself. Xiyan and the others are still behind me!"

When the two of them were alone, Chu Lian rarely called him "husband". Most of the time, she would directly call him "He Sanlang" or "He Changdi".

Now, she was calling him "husband" in a soft and delicate manner, and Chu Lian was still curled up in his arms.

Instantly, He Changdi's entire body stiffened for a second as if he had been electrocuted. His deep, almond-shaped eyes instantly darkened and his thin lips pursed into a thin line. His long legs quickened his pace.

Thus, Chu Lian heard his hoarse voice, "Don't worry, it's night time now. They won't see what they shouldn't see."

When his breathing changed, Chu Lian immediately realized what was going on.

She cried bitterly in her heart. She wasn't using the right method, she was clearly sending a lamb into a tiger's mouth!

Sensing the changes in his body, Chu Lian instantly felt extremely awkward.

She gripped the front of his shirt tightly and gave up on the idea that he would put her down. She could only lean into his arms and discuss with him in a low voice.

"Then when you reach the long corridor at the entrance, can you put me down?"

There were so many old maids and maids in Songtao Court. If they were to see them, it would be embarrassing!

He Changdi's expression was cold. He seemed to be struggling internally for a long time before he nodded slightly and agreed.

In reality, his wife's body was soft and it was very comfortable to carry. He didn't want to put her down at all. He wanted to carry her directly to the large bed in the bedroom …

(Don't worry so much ~ Even if the original female lead was reborn ~ Brother Lian would be able to kill her in seconds ~)
