Chapter 568: Count Jing’an is Returning 1 (2/2)

Chu Lian blinked and let out her anxiety in a single breath. Although her relations with the matriarch had already soured, she still had to do what was required as a junior member of the family. If she was lacking in her etiquette, it would reflect badly on her instead. Luckily, He Changdi had already taken care of that for her.

“Third Young Master went to the Ministry of War and he said he would return in the afternoon. Would you like to get up now, Third Young Madam?”

Chu Lian lifted the bed curtains and told Wenlan to bring her clothes.

When she finished washing up and sat at the table for breakfast, she seemed to have the strange feeling that the servants were looking at her with knowing expressions, coupled with teasing glints.

She couldn’t sit still. It felt like she had done something wrong.

After she was done with breakfast, Countess Jing’an even specially came over to Songtao Court to visit her with a bowl of soup…

The obvious intentions of her mother-in-law gave Chu Lian the urge to pummel He Changdi to get rid of all the embarrassment welling up within her.

However, she was still happy to see that Countess Jing’an had become well enough to visit her.

“Mother, do you feel any discomfort in your body now?”

Since her health had improved, her mood had never been better.

The current Countess Jing’an had filled out a little. Her cheeks were now rosy with the pink of health.

The countess shook her head with a smile, “Not at all, I’m perfectly healthy. I can eat well and sleep well. I never dared to dream of recovering my body to this state before.”

Countess Jing’an had spent many years bedridden still. Even though the root of her illness had been cured, she was still a little more fragile than most. She would have to be careful not to expend too much energy in the future. However, compared to her condition a few months ago, this was a vast improvement.

She was already very content with what she had now. She had been expecting to spend the rest of her life in bed before this.
