Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 331: Who Are You?

Laiyue turned around and frowned upon seeing the mounted man. With a twitch of his reins, he went up to He Changdi's side and leaned over to whisper, "Master, it's Brother Zhang."

Of course, He Changdi knew that Laiyue was referring to Zhang Mai.

His expression changed and he instructed the guards to look after the convoy. He then urged his horse up to the carriage to tell them what he was planning to do before turning back and heading in Zhang Mai's direction to welcome him.

Chu Lian was in the middle of chatting with Countess Jing'an when He Changdi passed his message to them.

Countess Jing'an frowned, "Why is Sanlang so busy even at this time?"

Chu Lian wasn't angry at all. Instead, she even smiled and reassured Countess Jing'an. "Mother, you might not know this, but there's been some turmoil in the capital lately. Hubby has been very busy, so let him go and take a look. Since Brother Zhang has come personally, it must be something important."

Countess Jing'an sighed. She thought back to the past and lamented, "We're in the same boat then. When I was pregnant with Erlang and Sanlang, your father was also very busy and was rarely by my side."

However, at least Sanlang's wife had a little more fortune than she had. Back then, when she had been pregnant, Count Jing'an had already returned to Mingzhou to take his post. Nowadays, even though He Changdi was busy with his work, at least he was nearby and he could find time to spend with Chu Lian.

Chu Lian's smile brightened up even more. Actually, she wasn't as calm and confident as she appeared on the surface.

In a short moment, Laiyue spoke up from outside the carriage.

"Madam, Third Young Madam."

"What's wrong?"

"Third Young Madam, Third Young Master has been called away by Brother Zhang on urgent business. He told this servant to pass it on."

Of course, Countess Jing'an could hear everything that Laiyue had said to Chu Lian.

"Sanlang's wife, since Sanlang has left, why don't we head back to the estate first and find another day to visit the temple?"

Without He Changdi here, Countess Jing'an couldn't rest easy with her heavily pregnant daughter-in-law in tow. Furthermore, everyone held such great expectations for Chu Lian's unborn child. They had to take as many precautions as they could.

Chu Lian shook her head and consoled her mother-in-law, "Mother, there's no need for that. We've already picked out our guards early on and we even have two of our family soldiers following. It's only Hubby who isn't around, but we have so many people guarding us, it won't be that easy for something bad to happen. Furthermore, we really can't wait any longer. Look at the size of my belly. If we go back now, who knows when we'll be able to go out again?"

Countess Jing'an was swayed by Chu Lian after all.

The party continued on their way to Da'an Temple as per their original plans.

After an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of Mount Lanxiang.

It wasn't supposed to take that long, but since Chu Lian was pregnant, they had kept the carriages to a safe and slow speed. Thus, they had taken two times the normal duration to reach the temple.

There was a special road for the nobility at the foot of Mount Lanxiang, and He Changdi had already arranged for his subordinates to guide them from there.

Wenqing and Muxiang alighted from the carriage behind and went up to Chu Lian and Countess Jing'an's carriage.

Once the curtains were lifted, Countess Jing'an stepped off the carriage first. Following that, Muxiang managed to beat Wenqing to the punch and helped Chu Lian off the carriage.
