Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
Chapter 238
Laiyue paused. He didn't hear He Changdi's voice and guessed that his master had acquiesced. He dismounted from his horse and quickly walked over with a few guards.
Chu Lian lifted the curtain and was about to get off the carriage to welcome Chu Qizheng. He Changdi, who had been sitting straight and expressionless, suddenly stopped her hand from lifting the curtain.
"It's cold outside. I'll go and pick you up."
Chu Lian saw that he was holding her hand tightly. She raised her head and glanced at him. She didn't insist.
She pulled her hand back and sat there without moving.
He Changdi's heart twisted. He clenched his fists tightly. When Chu Lian pulled her hand away, it was as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.
He lowered his head and nimbly jumped off the carriage.
Chu Qizheng and his personal attendant were quickly brought to the side of the carriage by Laiyue.
He Changdi respectfully bowed to Chu Qizheng. "Father-in-law."
Chu Qi was sizing up the handsome young man in front of him. No matter how he looked at him, he found him pleasing to the eye. At the same time, there was a hint of unwillingness in his heart. "Such a promising junior, why didn't he marry Sister Yuan? Instead, he married Sister Lian?
However, Chu Qizheng only thought about it in his heart. He didn't show it on his face.
He smiled and greeted his son-in-law. "Zixiang is now valued by His Majesty. You have to serve the court well. We haven't had a drink together for a long time. In two days, you should bring Lian 'er back to the mansion. Her mother misses her too."
He Sanlang looked at the tall middle-aged man in front of him and found it funny.
Chu Lian had been married to him for more than half a year. This was the first time his father-in-law had invited him to the mansion. It must be because he was a marquis.
Out of respect for his wife, He Changdi didn't refuse. Instead, he respectfully agreed.
Chu Qizheng gently patted He Changdi's shoulder as if he was an ambitious young man. "Lian 'er is still young. She will need your care in the future."
If he hadn't experienced his previous life, he would have thought that Chu Qizheng was a loving father who loved his daughter.
"Father-in-law is right. I will take good care of Lian 'er in the future. I won't let her suffer."
Chu Qizheng kindly smiled, "With such a promise, I can rest assured."
He Changdi invited Chuqi into the carriage. When the curtains of the carriage were lowered, he leaped onto his beloved horse, Flipping Cloud. With a wave of his hand, the carriage began to move again.
Inside the carriage, Chu Qi was sitting in He Changdi's original seat. As soon as he sat down, his face immediately turned ashen.
He glared at Chu Lian, who was slowly opening her eyes, and said angrily in a deep voice, "You have no manners!"
Chu Lian raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Qizheng, who had a gloomy face. She chuckled. This was really strange. Why was everyone giving her a cold face today? Could it be that she deserved to be angered?
Chu Lian was not a person who liked to endure. She would not let anyone who did not let her have a good time. Chu Qizheng was not her biological father, so there was no need for her to flatter him.
"It's all thanks to Father's good teachings. Otherwise, I would be as cultured as Eighth Sister."
"You …" Chu Qi's face turned red because of his eldest daughter's words.
He never thought that this daughter of his, who was always cautious and lived in fear in the Duke of England, would become so arrogant.
He clenched his fists, unable to endure this anger.
"Sister Lian, don't think that just because you are the wife of Marquis Dingyuan that I can't teach you a lesson. Let me tell you, no matter how high your title is, you are still a member of my Chu family. You are my daughter!"
Chu Lian glanced at the red faced Chu Qizheng. "Father, as the saying goes, a married woman must obey her husband. You also know that I am the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, not the sixth daughter of the Duke of England. Don't tell me you are not clear about the laws of the Great Wu Dynasty?
Family confiscation and extermination are not to implicate married women. "
This time, Chu Qizheng was really enraged. He had never suffered this kind of anger before. However, he was worried about He Changdi, who was riding a horse and following the carriage outside. He raised his hand and didn't dare to touch Chu Lian's delicate face.
He took a few deep breaths and sneered, "Sister Lian, you really are as cheap as your mother!"
The mother of Chu Lian he was talking about was naturally not the mother of his second wife, Sister Yuan, but the wife of his wife who had passed away.
Chu Lian originally had an indifferent attitude. Since Chu Qizheng wanted to show off his strength, she naturally wouldn't keep quiet. She just wanted to use her mouth to anger this cheap father of hers.
However, Chu Qizheng went from bad to worse. Not only did he teach her a lesson, he even scolded his wife who had passed away many years ago. This was intolerable to Chu Lian.
Chu Lian's clear eyes suddenly became sharp. "Father, I finally know why you don't have an heir. With a character like yours, you deserve to die without any descendants!"
The thing that Chu Qizheng cared about the most in his life was that he didn't have a son. Chu Lian mercilessly exposed this matter and placed it in front of him, causing him to almost faint from anger.
Just as he was about to say something, Chu Lian interrupted him. "Father, it's better if you don't say a few words, lest you vomit blood when you get home."
Chu Qizheng's face was pale, and he was panting heavily. It took him a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his chest. He stared at Chu Lian unwillingly, but this time, he tactfully didn't say anything.
It was good that he didn't speak. Chu Lian was also too lazy to waste her saliva. She picked up the teacup placed on the side and gently sipped the honey water inside.
After a long time, Chu Qizheng reluctantly calmed down and said, "In a few days, come back with Marquis Dingyuan. Your sister's marriage is about to be decided."
Chu Lian ignored him, and Chu Qizheng also pretended that she heard it.
Chu Qizheng glanced at Chu Lian, and his eyes flashed. The eldest daughter in front of him was delicate and beautiful. Her body was petite, but she was naturally beautiful. Especially her pair of almond-shaped eyes, it was exactly the same as his wife.
Every time he saw Chu Lian like this, he couldn't help but be angry at that woman.
As the carriage swayed, Chu Qizheng simply closed his eyes. Out of sight, out of mind.
He Changdi's ears and eyes were sharp, so he clearly heard the conversation between the father and daughter inside the carriage. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up. Although his wife was delicate and lovely, and had an obedient face, in reality, her ability to anger people couldn't be underestimated. He had already experienced it several times.
However, the smile on He Sanlang's face only flashed for a moment. Then, his handsome face became cold again. At the same time, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In his past life, although he and "Chu Lian" had parted ways, he still knew some things about her. Just like this time, the second master of the British Public House didn't like him, the eldest daughter.
At that time, he and Chu Lian had been married for a year, but Chu Qizheng had never visited them. Why would he be so kind as to invite them to the British Public House as guests?
After He Sanlang and Chu Lian sent Chu Qizheng to the British Public House, they returned to Count Jing 'an's estate.
When they returned to Count Jing 'an's estate, He Changdi didn't request to sit in the carriage again. Chu Lian didn't say anything. She just leaned against the large pillow on the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes. As the carriage swayed slightly, it seemed like she had really fallen asleep.
When they were about to reach Count Jing 'an's estate, a rider suddenly flew over.
Perhaps it recognized them, but before it even reached them, it shouted, "Third Young Master, Third Young Mistress, bad news!"
