Matriarch He was furious, which was why she brought up the past again.

She regretted it when she saw her daughter cry even harder.

She sighed, "Alright, don't cry anymore. They've just returned, so they have a lot to attend to. After a while, I'll have Sanlang's wife take Sister Zhen around."

With Matriarch He's promise, Eldest Grandaunt He Ying immediately stopped sobbing. She raised her teary eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mother, are you telling the truth?"

The matriarch held her hand, a trace of a smile finally appearing on her face. "You're my daughter. When have I ever lied to you?"

No matter how much of a scoundrel He Ying was when she was young, that was many years ago.

Her daughter had been away from the capital for many years, and it wasn't easy for her to see her again. How could she bear to see her suffer?

After leaving Qingwen Hall, the two didn't return to Songtao Court. Instead, they went straight to the front yard to take a carriage to Wei Wangfu.

Chu Lian was personally helped into the carriage by He Sanlang. Then, he lifted his long legs and followed them in.

Xiyan tactfully went to the carriage at the back.

Chu Lian stared at him with her clear eyes, her mouth slightly agape from shock.

"Didn't Laiyue bring your Fanyun out just now?"

He Changdi glanced at her, lifted his robes, and sat in the carriage. "Who said that horses must be ridden?"

Chu Lian rolled her eyes speechlessly. Nowadays, Shengjing's young masters rarely rode in carriages unless it was really inconvenient.

Wasn't he afraid of being laughed at for sitting in the same carriage with her so casually?

He Sanlang's dark eyes fell on Chu Lian. Seeing her red lips and bright eyes, he couldn't help but feel his throat tighten. He reached out and scooped her up.

Chu Lian suppressed a scream in her throat. When she calmed down, she found that she was sitting on He Changdi's lap.

His black robe was long and embroidered, while hers was bright and colorful. The two of them stacked together, creating an indescribable sense of harmony and compatibility.

He Sanlang tightly hugged the little woman in his arms and gently pecked her forehead. The ruby on her forehead made her face look even more dazzling.

Chu Lian felt a little uncomfortable. She could clearly feel that there was a special reaction from the male body below her. She struggled a little and said in a low voice, "He Changdi, can you be more serious?!"

He Sanlang's brows furrowed as he used a bit of force to stop her from moving around in his arms. He suddenly sucked on her pink earlobe and whispered into her ear: "Don't move, otherwise your husband won't be able to control himself."

His deep, magnetic voice poured into her mind, making her whole body go numb.

Instantly, her entire body froze, and she buried herself in He Changdi's chest, not daring to move.

He Changdi stroked her silky black hair and planted a kiss on the top of her head. "At least you're sensible."

Chu Lian leaned against He Changdi's broad and firm chest and slowly felt his pleasure dissipate. She swallowed her saliva and then dared to speak.

She raised her head and slightly distanced herself from He Sanlang. She stared at He Changdi's cold and handsome face, tilted her head, and looked into his deep and gentle eyes. Chu Lian suddenly pouted and lay back in He Changdi's arms. She said in a slightly aggrieved voice: "He Changdi, why do I feel that grandmother doesn't like me anymore?"

He Sanlang's heart melted when he saw his wife's dependent eyes.

He swallowed hard and said in a low voice: "Call me husband."

Chu Lian pouted and buried her face in his clothes. She said in a muffled voice: "Husband, grandmother doesn't like me anymore."

Chu Lian had used a question before, but now she had directly stated it.

She was not stupid. Although the Matriarch tried her best to act as usual, she could still sense the difference.

A person who sincerely treated you well could be unconsciously felt from his eyes, actions, and words.

Chu Lian was not the only one who felt this way. He Changdi also felt this way.

He frowned slightly and thought about the people in the residence these past two days.

Chu Lian went to the Northern Region and suffered a lot. Moreover, she successfully brought back the medicine that could cure her mother's chronic illness. Grandmother was not an unreasonable person. She should love her more. Why did her attitude towards her become so cold?

This could only be because something had affected her.

He Sanlang's eyes darkened. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes.

From his previous life, He Changdi knew very well that even the closest people should not be estranged. Otherwise, it would be easy for the family to not be at peace.

Grandmother was old and with his aunt by her side, many things were different from his previous life.

He stroked his wife in his arms and made a decision.

"Lian 'er, what do you think is going on?"

Chu Lian frowned and straightened her body. She analyzed, "Husband, do you think it's Uncle Mo?"

He Sanlang's eyes revealed a trace of undisguised admiration. The couple had a tacit understanding.

"You don't have to worry about this. I will take care of it.

As for grandmother, she's old and is a bit muddle-headed. Don't worry too much about it. You will spend the rest of your life with me, not with grandmother. "

How could Chu Lian not know that He Sanlang was right? But it made her uncomfortable to have a rift with Old Matriarch for no reason.

If it was in the past, she might not have minded it too much. But now, she wanted to live a good life with He Changdi and help him manage the family. She was not so open-minded anymore.

She did not want to displease grandmother as a granddaughter-in-law.

Chu Lian puffed her cheeks. "But I'm still not happy."

How could He Changdi not know what his wife was thinking? It was because she cared about him now that she hoped to gain the approval of all his relatives and become a woman who stood side by side with him.

He Sanlang felt warm in his heart and looked at her cute puffed cheeks. Suddenly, he let out a deep chuckle and retracted his arms. He lowered his head and covered her slightly pouting red lips. He gently caressed her smooth and fragrant lips and pried open her lips …

He only let go when Chu Lian couldn't breathe and pushed him.

"Do you still have the energy to be angry?"

Chu Lian's lips were red and swollen from being bullied by him. She glared at him fiercely. "He Changdi, you're getting more and more out of hand."

He Sanlang's cold expression seemed to have broken the ice. His smile was like a warm breeze blowing across his face.

Although Chu Lian was a bit angry at him, she couldn't bear to see him so relaxed.

Although it wasn't her fault that there was a rift between her and grandmother, he was the one who was stuck in the middle.

Chu Lian suddenly felt sorry for her cold-faced and unreasonable husband.

She reached out and touched He Sanlang's well-defined face. She said in a low voice, "Forget it. I'm not money. Anyone would like me.

I can't control what grandmother thinks. It's fine as long as I don't feel guilty about what I do.

Don't think too much about it. It's not like we live our lives for other people to see. "

He Sanlang did not expect Chu Lian to say something like that. His heart felt like it was wrapped in a hot spring. He had never felt so warm before.
