Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Ch. 4 Tea Ceremony

When she had first seen the book, the actions of the female lead who shared her name had made Chu Lian speechless.

He Sanlang had looks, talent, and a good family background. His family was also simple and free from the inner conflicts common in other households. Wasn't it good to be a young madam in a noble family such as this? Why did she have to stir up so much trouble with that damned Xiao Bojian?

The female lead had even destroyed her own reputation. Geez. Back then, Chu Lian had wondered whether the author had a grudge against this female lead or something, making her make the most horrible decisions possible

Perhaps her resentment had been too strong, because when Chu Lian woke up, she had become that damned female lead herself! If she had known that this would happen earlier, she would have read a little faster and finished the book. However, that hadn't happened, and now she was in a situation where she didn't know what developments would occur in the later half of the novel. She didn't know who the female lead would end up with, or what would happen to He Sanlang in the end.

Add He Sanlang's mysterious changes into the mix, and Chu Lian was about to go crazy.

She was a little too distracted while walking, so she stumbled upon the cobblestone path, almost spraining her ankle. Luckily, Xiyan caught her just in time.

He Sanlang heard the commotion going on behind him and cast a cold glare over his shoulder. The look in his eyes gave her a merciless warning, telling her without the use of words, You had better watch it!

For an aristocratic family, the family tree of the House of Count Jingan was extremely simple.

Matriarch He occupied the highest position, while He Dalang's daughters were the lowest in the family tree. There were no concubines or illegitimate children around, a huge difference from the complicated family of the House of Duke Ying.

They had arranged for the newlyweds to pay their respects to their elders at Matriarch He's Qingxi Hall (3).

When the pair of newlyweds reached the arched doorway, they immediately spotted Senior Servant Liu, one of the servants highly regarded by Matriarch He, walking over to welcome them.

"This old servant pays respects to Third Young Master and Third Young Madam."

Chu Lian hurriedly moved forward to lift Senior Servant Liu up. "How could we let Senior Servant Liu pay respects to us?(4)"

This Senior Servant Liu was one of the senior servants who managed the household and held actual authority. She also had a rather good personality and was someone worth making friends with.

Chu Lian secretly made note of all this information in her heart.

When He Changdi saw that she was being so eagerly attentive towards a senior servant on her first visit to the He Estate, he felt even more strongly that her pleasant disposition was nothing more than a facade.

Following the saying out of sight, out of mind, He Changdi entered Qingxi Hall first.

Senior Servant Liu frowned when she saw He Sanlang's actions. She turned to Chu Lian with a smile and took her hand, personally leading her into the courtyard.

An entire circle of people was sitting within the parlour of Qingxi Hall.

Chu Lian cast a gentle, measuring gaze over them, mentally matching the people before her to their descriptions in the book.

The silver-haired old madam wearing a jasper-coloured headband sitting at the head of the group was most likely Matriarch He of the House of Count Jingan.
