Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Chapter 331 to 335

Over in the parlour, He Ying's plea for help had only darkened the storm on Matriarch He's face. Although she still felt guilt over her treatment of her daughter, the current situation was like a slap in her face. Thus, she finally spoke harshly towards her daughter.

"Even so, why didn't you take proper care of Miss Zhen! Why would she be in the outer court at such a late hour!"

The matriarch still had her moments of clear wit. She could see that something was wrong with the situation.

Even though this dynasty was more open-minded, there was an unspoken curfew at night for the ladies. Once the skies turned dark and they finished their dinners, noble ladies would stay in their own rooms. They wouldn't leave their own courtyards, let alone the estate.

Last night, the three He brothers had returned at a very late hour. Why had Pan Nianzhen appeared in the main study of the outer court at that time?

The answer to this question would determine whether He Dalang was a victim or a culprit.

He Ying had an instant of panic when she heard that question, but she quickly calmed down.

As for why her daughter had appeared in the outer court, it was her doing of course! However, she had arranged for He Erlang to be the one. She had no idea why it had suddenly turned into He Dalang!

However, since her mother was casting her suspicions on her now, she couldn't admit to that.

In order to finish up her plans, she had no choice but to use He Dalang now.

He Changqi was the eldest grandson of House Jing'an. He was going to inherit the countship in the future. If she was really able to marry Miss Zhen to him, it wouldn't be that bad of a choice compared to her original plans.

He Ying's target shifted in the span of a few seconds of thinking.

Anyway, things had already happened. She just had to push Miss Zhen onto He Dalang no matter what.

He Ying refused to speak. She only continued crying in sobs, annoying the matriarch even further.

The problem at hand was tricky. The victim here was her granddaughter, who had only been living in the estate for a few months. However, in that short amount of time, that lovely flower had been plucked. Pan Nianzhen didn't have much status to begin with. Now that her body had been ruined, who could she marry?

Even if they managed to get her married, she would only be a disgrace to House Jing'an.

Matriarch He bowed her head. She caught sight of her eldest grandson from the corner of her eyes.

He didn't have any heirs and he had just divorced. Even though he was nearing thirty, his previous wife had only left him two daughters.

Miss Zhen was Dalang's cousin and he had interacted with her a few times before. Dalang was meant to inherit the title of Count Jing'an, so he couldn't stay single forever. He had to have an heir someday.

Compared to bringing in an arrogant young noble miss from the outside, why not simply give Miss Zhen to him in marriage? Miss Zhen was still young, so surely she would be able to give him a heir?

Eldest Madam's non-stop crying had made everyone fidgety.

Chu Lian looked at He Changdi.

He Sanlang took in the ring of spectators in the parlour with his cold eyes and understood that he was the only one who could do something now.

His eldest brother was still lost and blank. He hadn't recovered from his shock yet at all. His second brother was still sound asleep. His mother was too soft and she wasn't good at sticking her head out in these kinds of matters.
