Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 228: Protective of His Wife

Once a woman's reputation was damaged, she faced the possibility of being divorced and abandoned by her husband's family. If the lady in question was not married, it might even affect the marriage prospects of the other ladies in the family.

Senior Servant Liu abruptly came back to her senses. She took a careful peek at the matriarch's expression. When she saw how grim it was, she knew that things were about to turn bad.

Senior Servant Liu pondered over the matter and decided to help mediate a little.

"Matriarch, this is a situation that we didn't experience personally. There are probably things we don't know about this matter. Third Young Master and Third Young Madam are so loving with each other. It's clear that nothing could have possibly happened to Third Young Madam! Please don't overthink things."

While Matriarch He still had an awful expression on her face, she kept her rationality. She turned a disapproving look on Senior Servant Liu and said, "Xiangyun, you need to remember who your master is."

Senior Servant Liu trembled and her face instantly paled. She kept her head lowered and remained silent at the side.

For a long moment, there was nothing but uncertainty and anxiety until she heard the matriarch speak again.

"Alright, I was too harsh with my words earlier. Don't let any hint of this news leak out. We don't know the actual details of what happened at the northern border. However, in the meantime, send someone to monitor the third branch over the next few days. Also, I don't want to hear any more regarding the matter of letting Sanlang's wife manage the household affairs."

Senior Servant Liu was shaken to her core. She would never have thought that Third Young Madam's trip to the northern border would cause the relationship between the matriarch and Third Young Madam to break apart...

What were they to do now? Judging by how things were going, House Jing'an would still need to rely on the third branch to keep their prestige in the future!

Even if she didn't want to admit, Senior Servant Liu understood in her heart that the matriarch was getting old...

She asked worriedly, "Then the household affairs..."

Matriarch He coughed a few times, her old age now showing in her demeanour.

"I'll manage the household affairs for now. If I can't bear it, since Miss Ying is back now, she can help out with the management."

Senior Servant Liu completely hadn't expected that the matriarch to make such a decision in her heart...

She couldn't believe her ears. Letting Eldest Madam manage the household? Considering Eldest Madam's misconduct when she was younger, this didn't seem like a reliable solution.

The worry in Senior Servant Liu's heart only deepened.

Meanwhile, Chu Lian was peacefully spending her days in Songtao Court, unaware that Leader Mo had told Matriarch He what had happened at the northern border in secret.

After mulling it over for some time, Chu Lian still decided to make some candied hawthorns and send them over to Countess Jing'an.

Although He Changdi disagreed, she couldn't really offend her mother-in-law by refusing.

Of course, Chu Lian wasn't stupid. She sent someone over to Great Doctor Miao to make an inquiry before instructing the maidservants to prepare the ingredients.

She made them with her own hands this time, without any help from her maidservants.

The candied hawthorns were ready just before dinner. She personally sent them over to Countess Jing'an's room after placing them in a food container.
