Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Ch. 15 High Evaluation

Matriarch He had experienced many trials in her life before. She had only panicked due to her emotions going out of control. Upon hearing her grandsons reasoning, she slowly started to calm down as well.

"Sanlang, you've done well this time. You're finally able to take more responsibility on your shoulders."

He Changdi was thinking of the sequence of events in his past life and hadn't heard Matriarch He's words at all.

By this time, Matriarch He had already put on some more layers of clothes and was sitting at the head of the parlour. He Changdi sat by his grandmother, his eyes darkening as he thought of how to approach this topic.

Matriarch He rubbed the prayer beads in her hand. Her eyes kept darting to the entrance, waiting with poorly veiled impatience for someone to come and give them news.

Suddenly, He Changdi spoke up.

"Grandmother, I have something to request of you."

Matriarch He turned to look at her youngest grandson, a little curious. Her grandson had been born with good looks, and had been raised in a noble family. Although he was smart, he lacked experience. But now it seemed like her grandson had grown up right after he had gotten married; he was a little more reserved, a bit more adult-like than before.

"When has my dear Sanlang started thinking about making requests of others? Hadn't it always been us pleading for you to do things in the past?"

Matriarch He spoke benevolently; anyone who heard her would know how much she spoiled this grandson of hers. Otherwise, she wouldn't have specially entered the palace just to ask the empress dowager for a fertile Chu Family bride for him.

However, He Sanlang had a severe expression on his face. "Grandmother, if anything happens to Sister-in-Law, please don't let Chu Lian take her place in managing the household."

Upon hearing He Sanlangs request, Matriarch He was confused.

She frowned, finding this very strange. "What has happened to you, my dear child? Although your wife has just married into our He Family, she seems to have a good temperament. If your Eldest Sister-in-Law has suffered some injury, she's the only healthy madam in our He Family. Although she's young, Grandmother is still here to guide her! With my guidance, and if she's willing to work hard, then what's wrong with letting her manage the household?"

He Sanlang could sense the protective stance his grandmother had over Chu Lian in her tone. Anger filled him in an instant, and he inwardly scolded Chu Lian for being so slick. She had just entered the He Family, but she had already won the favour of all the senior members.

However, he couldn't go along with his grandmother this time.

He Sanlang pursed his lips, held back the frustration in his heart, and said, "Grandmother, it's not that I'm not willing to let Lianer manage the household. However, she's still young and she's only just come of age. There were so many ladies in the Ying Estate, how could they have taught every single one properly? She's lacking in many areas! Let her follow at your side and learn everything slowly. Once she's familiar with the household, it's not too late to ask her to shoulder bigger responsibilities."

Once Matriarch He heard that that was the original meaning behind his words, she stared at him in rebuke.

"So our Sanlang is someone who pampers his wife. Well, you're right. Your wife is still rather young; she should come and learn by Grandmother's side. Don't worry, Grandmother won't forget about your wife. Grandmother must have been born to toil; I still have to worry over these things even when I'm already this old."
