He Sanlang swallowed the last mouthful of venison in two or three bites. His stomach felt nauseous and he hurriedly covered his mouth to hold it in. Because of the discomfort of holding it in, his pale face turned red and his expression twisted.

When he saw the teacup in front of him, he didn't care that it was Chu Lian who had poured it for him. He picked it up and hurriedly drank it in large gulps.

Chu Lian looked at him in surprise and shock, her limpid eyes wide open.

This time, He Changdi went for wool and came home shorn. He glared fiercely at Chu Lian and pulled out an extremely unnatural expression that seemed like he was showing off. Finally, he quickly left the reception pavilion.

As soon as He Sanlang left, Chu Lian looked in the direction he disappeared in and clicked her tongue in sympathy. This guy ran so fast, he must have found a place to vomit.

Sure enough, He Sanlang, who had just left the courtyard, was holding onto a camphor tree and vomiting without a care for his image. That pitiful look made it seem like he wanted to vomit everything he had eaten at yesterday's wedding banquet.

After vomiting out the two pieces of venison that had been stuffed into his stomach, He Changdi raised his pale face and used his hand to forcefully wipe the stain at the corner of his mouth. He stared deeply in the direction of the courtyard. When he thought of Chu Lian's extremely aggrieved and hesitant expression, he finally felt some comfort in his heart.

In this life, when he was reborn, they were nearing the date of their wedding. Since he couldn't change their marriage, then as long as he was here, this poisonous woman wouldn't have an easy time!

Chu Lian, who was being cursed and nagged by a certain person, was holding her chin and staring at the few dishes in front of her in a daze.

Grandma Gui picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish for Third Young Mistress. Her eyes were still red. "Third Young Mistress, Third Young Master isn't here right now. You've eaten too little. Eat some more!"

Chu Lian shook her head. "I'm not eating anymore. I'm full. Take away all the food!"

Ming Yan hurriedly tried to persuade her. "Third Young Mistress, don't worry. Third Young Master went out and won't come back immediately. Although this sea bass isn't as delicious as venison, it's still rare to eat!

Why don't you try some? "

Chu Lian finally reacted at this time. She looked up at Grandma Gui and the few geese beside her with some astonishment. She smiled helplessly and sighed, "Do you think I don't dare to eat more because I'm afraid of my husband?"

Gui Momo's eyes were filled with concern as she looked at her. That expression was very obvious, wasn't it?

Chu Lian held her forehead and explained helplessly, "You're thinking too much. This food is just not to my liking."

Seeing Chu Lian's insistence, even though Gui Momo hoped that she would eat more, Chu Lian was still the Mistress and how would a servant force the Mistress to do anything? She could only instruct the maids to remove the food.

In the afternoon, the Old Lady of Qingyuan Hall specially sent her competent servant, Liu mommy, to deliver the tonic soup. Liu mommy was watching from the side, so she couldn't refuse, so she could only force herself to drink it. She didn't know what the tonic soup was made of, but it tasted very strange. After Liu mommy left, Chu Lian drank three cups of tea in succession and ate two honeyed kumquats before she covered the strange taste in her mouth.

After all that trouble, Chu Lian didn't even have the mood to take an afternoon nap.

She remembered the honeyed kumquats she had Xiyan make in the morning and asked Gui Mommy to pick a nice-looking magnetic disk to pack. Then, she personally brought it to the Old Lady and her mother-in-law, Countess Jing 'an.

Because Old Lady He had the habit of resting in the afternoon, when Chu Lian arrived, the Old Lady still hadn't woken up, so she left the food box with Liu mommy.

When she arrived at Countess Jing 'an's place, Chu Lian only sat for a few minutes. She was afraid that she would disturb her mother-in-law's rest, so she quickly left.

When she returned to her own courtyard, she asked about He Changdi's whereabouts. When she heard that he was in the study in the front courtyard, she didn't want to disturb him. Instead, she went to bed with Xiyan's help.

It was currently the season of spring and flowers were blooming, so the temperature outside was comfortable. She and He Sanlang's new room was facing the sun, so the sunlight shone in from the nearby window. It was warm and refreshing. Xiyan helped her put down the thin layer of red bed curtains. Now, she was the only one lying on the exquisitely carved bed.

Chu Lian easily rolled around on the soft and fragrant bed without a care for her image. Then, she crossed her hands behind her head and stared at the curtains on top of the bed.

Although her husband was completely different from the one described in the book, Chu Lian didn't feel much regret or fear. She was naturally optimistic and independent, so she was never a pessimist.

In modern times, she was an orphan. After a lot of hard work, she had her own business, but she didn't have many friends, and she didn't find the other half that she liked. Although she accidentally came to the Great Wu Dynasty, for her, it was the same no matter where she lived!

Moreover, here, she was more than ten years younger and had a handsome husband. Even though her husband was a little strange, Chu Lian wasn't defeated by these changes.

If she could continue living her life, then so be it. If she couldn't, then it wasn't a bad thing for her to live a peaceful life in Count Jing 'an's estate. As long as she didn't court death like the original female lead in the book, it was fine.

As for He Changdi, if he really didn't like her, there was nothing she could do.

After all, she was already married when she transmigrated here. Everything had already become a fact. In ancient times, if one wanted to end a marriage, especially a marriage between two families, it wasn't as simple as going to the Civil Affairs Bureau and getting a divorce certificate.

Currently, Count Jing 'an's estate wasn't a threat to her. The most important thing for her to do now was to improve her lifestyle. Yes, she would start with eating!

Chu Lian was wearing thin and cool pajamas as she lay on the big bed with her legs crossed. She was happily thinking about the plan to improve her meals later. Her two little pink feet that were exposed were still shaking, and she appeared to be particularly satisfied.

However, she didn't know why, but she felt a little hot all over, which made her feel uncomfortable.

He Changdi, who was in the study in the front courtyard, was also forced to drink a bowl of nourishing soup by Senior Servant Liu. After vomiting in the afternoon, He Changdi hadn't eaten anything and was forced to drink a bowl of strange medicine soup, which made him even more restless.

He Sanlang wasn't in the mood to continue reading the letter in his hand. He got up and walked out of the study.

His personal manservant, Laiyue, who was guarding the door, was leaning against the wall and dozing off. He woke up with a start when He Changdi kicked him as if to vent his anger. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and hurriedly said, "Young Master, why did you come out at this time? Are you going somewhere?"

He Changdi glanced at Laiyue and instinctively wanted to go back to his own courtyard. However, he instantly remembered that there was now a poisonous woman, Chu Lian, in his courtyard. He turned and walked towards Countess Jing 'an's courtyard.

"I'm going to see Mother."

Laiyue scratched his head as he followed behind Third Young Master. He was very confused. Didn't they say that the three most joyous events in a man's life were 'meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of their wedding, and passing the imperial examinations'? Third Young Master had just gotten married, and Third Young Mistress was a beautiful woman. Why did Third Young Master have such a gloomy expression on his face all day long? He didn't give anyone a good look, as if the entire world owed him three hundred taels of silver.

When He Changdi arrived at his mother's courtyard, Countess Jing 'an was currently walking back and forth in the room with the help of a maidservant, stretching her muscles.

He Changdi didn't know what happened, but the bell-like laughter of Countess Jing 'an's maidservant, Miaozhen, could be heard coming from the reception pavilion.

He Sanlang took a few steps closer and could hear Countess Jing 'an talking and laughing with the maidservants beside her.

"Madam, the honeyed kumquats that Third Young Mistress sent over are really delicious!" This was Miaozhen's voice.

"Mhm, this old servant also thinks it's not bad. To be honest, not only does this honeyed kumquat look beautiful and festive, but the taste is also top-notch. It's not inferior to the cooking skills of our estate's kitchen maids!"

"Oh?

I didn't expect that this little snack would receive such high praise from you all. Bring one over and let me have a taste. "Countess Jing 'an's voice was clearly weak.

Soon after, the soft footsteps of the maidservants could be heard.

When He Changdi heard this, his expression changed drastically. He ran into his mother's room and saw Miaozhen handing over a small magnetic disk containing a honeyed kumquat to his mother. He reached out and forcefully smashed it away.

The magnetic disk fell onto the floor tiles and instantly broke into several pieces, emitting an ear-piercing shattering sound. The transparent and slightly flat honeyed kumquats rolled all over the floor.

Everyone in the room was stunned by He Changdi's sudden action and momentarily forgot to speak.

Countess Jing 'an was the first to react. She frowned slightly as she stared at her most beloved youngest son. "Sanlang, what are you doing? Your wife personally brought these little snacks over to show her filial piety to me this afternoon."

He Changdi also realized that his earlier action was a bit impulsive. However, when he thought about how Chu Lian had done the same thing in his previous life, he felt that he wasn't doing anything wrong.

"Mother, your health isn't good, so it's best if you don't eat these random things. It might affect your health."

No one knew a son better than his mother. Countess Jing 'an seemed to have noticed something from He Changdi's flickering gaze. She waved her hand to dismiss the servant ladies and maidservants beside her. Only then did she ask her son, "I heard from Senior Servant Liu that you're not satisfied with your daughter-in-law. Is that true?

Tell me why you're not satisfied with her. She personally came over this afternoon, and I don't think she's a bad person. "

He Changdi was stunned. He sneered inwardly. He didn't think that this sl * t, Chu Lian, would be so good at pretending without his knowledge. She was even trying to curry favor with his mother.

"Mother, don't think too much about it. It's nothing. I'm just worried about your health."

Countess Jing 'an could only sigh when she saw that He Changdi wasn't willing to tell her the truth. "Sanlang, you're the child that I worry about the most. If you don't live a good life, how can I rest assured?"

When He Sanlang left Countess Jing 'an's courtyard, his expression was even darker than before. He had already asked about everything that Chu Lian had done in the afternoon. It turned out that this vicious woman had taken advantage of his absence to use all of her methods. He angrily stormed towards his own courtyard.

Lai Yue scratched his head as he followed behind him. He couldn't understand Third Young Master at all.

Chu Lian drowsily slept for almost an hour. When she woke up, her entire body was soaked in sweat and sticky. She felt uncomfortable, so she asked Jing Yan and Ming Yan to prepare some hot soup.

She had just dipped her body into the fragrant bathtub when Ming Yan's panicked voice rang out from outside. "Third Young Master, Third Young Master, Third Young Mistress said that it's not convenient for her right now. You should wait for a while before going in!"
