Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 325: Matriarch He's Good Intentions

A spark of joy flashed across Wenqing's eyes. She bobbed towards Chu Lian and left to look for some ointment.

He Changdi had already sent a messenger out to the old residence with the good news this morning when he left the estate. When it was almost lunch time, Countess Jing'an actually came over personally with a group of servants.

Chu Lian hurriedly went out to welcome her.

Once she escorted her in all the way to Songtao Court, Countess Jing'an looked her up and down with a beaming smile and said, "I can't tell that you're pregnant at all. You haven't put on any weight!"

Chu Lian led the countess over to a chair. "Mother, I'm eating two bowls of rice at each meal! I'm already trying my best!"

Countess Jing'an was in a good mood after seeing that her daughter-in-law looked bright and healthy.

"Eat whatever you want. If you don't have it around, then send Sanlang out to get it. You can't let yourself suffer!"

Chu Lian thought to herself, Sanlang might not even be able to find what she wanted to eat. The Great Wu didn't have any of the snacks from the modern world.

"I'll listen to you, Mother."

"Really, why did the two of you wait until now to tell us the news? If I had known earlier, I would have moved over to take care of you. You're all alone here, and we can't be too careless with your first pregnancy."

Countess Jing'an was genuinely happy for her son and daughter-in-law. Neither her eldest nor her second son were dependable in this area, so she was hoping that He Changdi and Chu Lian could have a child as soon as possible.

Chu Lian didn't hide the truth from her.

"Mother, we don't need you to work so hard to take care of us. We have some senior servants around. Also, my pregnancy wasn't stable before, so we didn't mention it to you."

Countess Jing'an was managing the Jing'an Estate now, so she couldn't just leave and come over here to stay. There was also the matriarch still back in the old residence, so she couldn't really do as she said to look after Chu Lian.

The countess was startled upon hearing that the baby had almost been lost. "Have you asked an imperial physician to check? How is it now?"

Chu Lian smiled. "There's no problems at all now. We have Uncle Miao here too, so we don't need any imperial physicians."

If she had really requested for an imperial physician to check her health, then she wouldn't have been able to hide her pregnancy.

Hearing so, Countess Jing'an heaved a sigh of relief. She began to sincerely and passionately talk. "You absolutely have to take good care of your health during this pregnancy. If there's an emergency and there's no other choice available, I would rather that you give up the child than damage your body permanently. Don't follow down my path. The two of you are still young. If you nurse your body well, there will still be time to get pregnant again."

This was what Countess Jing'an truly felt from the bottom of her heart. Back then, she had ignored her weak health to give birth to her children, causing her to fall seriously ill and suffer for decades. Of course, Countess Jing'an didn't blame any of her three sons. They were all her flesh and blood, so there was no such thing as resentment or hate for them. She simply wanted to let her daughter-in-law know how important it was for her body to be healthy.

Chu Lian was touched by the countess. It hadn't been easy for her mother-in-law to speak such words to her.

"Mother, don't worry. I'm perfectly healthy now."
