Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 216: The Department of Appointments

As Chu Lian's former wet nurse, Senior Servant Gui couldn't help but remind her, "Third Young Madam, it won't do for you and Third Young Master to keep delaying this."

Even without considering the future, they had the matriarch to deal with right now. The matriarch was expecting a great-grandson soon. There was also the sudden appearance of that Eldest Madam and Miss Pan.

From how the mother and daughter pair had been acting, it was unlikely that they would be easy to get along with.

They had managed to escape from the remote Siyang to the glamorous capital, so it would be crazy to think that they would want to go back.

If they didn't want to go back, getting Miss Pan to marry into the He Family would be the best choice for them!

Despite the fact that the Second Young Master wasn't married yet, Third Young Master was the most outstanding one amongst the brothers, so it was hard to say with certainty that Miss Pan wouldn't set her sights on him.

Chu Lian knew that Senior Servant Gui was speaking out of consideration for her, but having such things spoken outright still made her blush.

"Momo, I understand that. My husband was injured for some time before, so I've already promised him to consummate our marriage after we returned to the estate."

Chu Lian's words were a pleasant surprise to Xiyan and even more so for Senior Servant Gui.

She couldn't help grabbing onto Chu Lian's hands, "Sixth Miss, as long as your first child is a boy, your position in House Jing'an will be secured."

Senior Servant Gui was so overcome with emotion that she had actually called Chu Lian by her previous title from House Ying.

Once Chu Lian had an heir by her side, it wouldn't matter even if He Changdi's love for her changed. Her position in the He Family would be as unshakeable as a rock.

Taking Dalang's wife as an example, if Madam Zou had a son, her relationship with He Changqi wouldn't have deteriorated to this point.

If she had a son, even if she quarreled with her husband, the matriarch and the countess would have considered taking her side.

In any case, no matter how high one's status was, there was still a need to birth a male heir as a noble's legitimate wife.

Senior Servant Gui wasn't exaggerating in the slightest. This was just how noble families were in the Great Wu Dynasty. House Jing'an was better as there were fewer members and the men never took concubines. Otherwise, things would be worse than they already were.

Chu Lian had never considered such matters in the past. She had only thought about how she could live her days well as a lazy bug who never lacked money. Things were different now that she and He Changdi were in love. She naturally thought of sharing in some of his burdens.

It wouldn't do for her to remain a layabout then.

She didn't know what kind of post the Emperor would give to He Changdi currently. If he received an important position, then as his wife, she would have to start socialising with others.

For a whole afternoon, Chu Lian settled the many trivial matters in Songtao Court.

The Li siblings who had escorted her to the northern border had also returned to Prince Wei's estate after completing their mission. Chu Lian had ordered the siblings to bring back the presents she had gotten for Princess Wei and Princess Duanjia too.

Chu Lian also ordered the servants to send the local specialties she had bought on her journey to the various branches of the family. By the time she was done, it was already evening.
