Chapter 678: Matriarch He’s Good Intentions 2 (1/2)

Chu Lian was only three months pregnant, so counting back the days, it had happened only after they had returned to the capital. It was definitely their He Family’s child and not some wild bastard.

Once she got the news, the matriarch went into the ancestral hall to offer up incense with the help of Senior Servant Liu.

Although she was already a bag of old bones, she insisted on kneeling for two whole hours, begging for Chu Lian’s first child to be a boy…

Even Senior Servant Liu couldn’t move her from her prayers.

When she returned from the ancestral hall, Matriarch He started preparing things for her unborn great-grandson.

Senior Servant Liu noticed that the old matriarch wouldn’t sit still and tried to coax her, “Matriarch, you don’t have to be so rushed. There’s still another six months to go! Furthermore, we don’t know if it’ll be a little girl or boy. If you prepare the wrong items, then it will go to waste.”

The matriarch’s expression turned fierce upon hearing such words from Senior Servant Liu, “What nonsense are you speaking? Of course it’s going to be a little boy. Senior Servant Zhou, follow my instructions and prepare all the items for boys!”

Senior Servant Liu had no choice but to follow along with what Matriarch He wanted.

While the servants were busying themselves, Muxiang stood still in shock like a statue.

She ran back to her own room in a panic and locked the door.

Once the door was shut, she could no longer hide the resentful and sinister expression on her face.

From an obedient maidservant, she changed into a demon who had just crawled up from hell.

“It wasn’t supposed to be like this! It wasn’t supposed to be…!” She leaned bonelessly against the door, sliding down into a squat. She grabbed at her hair, her eyes staring wildly into space, as if she couldn’t accept the news she had just heard.

In her past life, she hadn’t had any children since she hadn’t consummated her marriage with He Changdi. After she had gotten together with Xiao Bojian, although the two of them had gone to bed together many times, she hadn’t gotten pregnant.

She had always thought that it was her body that wasn’t fertile, and she had always held some regret.

When she opened her eyes and realised that she had been reincarnated into one of Matriarch He’s maidservants, she had first felt cold hard fear. Later on, that had been mixed with a thread of elatement, as this body was perfectly healthy. In the future, when she got He Changdi back again, she could give birth to their children.

Furthermore, the lack of any good news from the current Chu Lian and He Changdi after they had been married for so long had proven her guess from her past life.

However, how had this happened!? Wasn’t her old body supposed to be infertile? How had that imposter gotten pregnant with He Changdi’s child?

How could it be!

She was the only one in the world who could bear children for He Changdi!

The more Muxiang thought about it, the angrier she was. Slowly, that anger was mixed with depression. She wanted to rush over to Chu Lian right now and tear her into pieces.

Why!? How! That body was hers!

She was the one who was supposed to marry He Changdi!

How could that monstrous imposter use her body and take her husband and live so happily?!
