Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

"What are you busy with? You're so busy that you don't even have time to have dinner with me." Chen Lerong said dissatisfiedly.

Father He went to the study room because of Bai Lian. He wanted to take Bai Lian as his concubine, but he didn't know how to tell Chen Lerong. He kept it a secret for a day longer. "Recently, several ministers in the court have fallen ill. All their affairs have fallen on my shoulders, so I'm quite busy. I'll come to accompany you when I have time."

Because she was busy with court affairs, Chen Lerong didn't say much.

Father He came to the study and saw Bai Lian sitting there eating. He walked over and hugged her waist: "Why are you having lunch so late?"

"I wanted to wait for you to come back and have lunch together, but you never came back, so I'm not eating until now."

Father He placed the bird's nest on the table in front of Bai Lian: "Don't wait for me if you can't wait for me in the future."

"Hmm!" Bai Lian thought for a while and told He's father about Chen Lerong's visit to the study today: "When you went to the morning court, Madam came to the study and walked around, as if she was looking for something."

He's father's expression became a little ugly: "Didn't she find you?"

"I had breakfast and was walking in the garden. When I saw my wife, I hid myself so she didn't notice me."

Father He scratched Bai Lian's nose lovingly and said, "How did you recognize Chen Lerong? I never took you to see her, nor did I show you her portrait."

Bai Lian replied proudly: "I recognized her as the lady because of her attire."

"You are such a clever little girl." Father He touched Bai Lian's little hand and said, "I am sorry for inconvenienced you. I can only let you live in the study room temporarily and cannot introduce you to the people in the mansion."

"It doesn't matter. You can make it public when you think it's appropriate." Bai Lian touched her belly. She was now pregnant with He's father's child. People in the He family would know about her sooner or later.

Bai Lian's gentleness and understanding completely touched He's father.

……

As time went by, He's father spent more and more time in the study. Chen Lerong was worried that he would ruin his health due to the affairs of the court, so she went to the kitchen and wanted to make some nutritious food for He's father and send it to the study.

Seeing the blood swallows simmering on the small stove, she asked curiously, "Who is this for?"

The cook replied, "It's for the master."

Chen Lerong obviously didn't believe this. He's father didn't like eating bird's nests, not to mention that bird's nests were eaten by women for beauty and skin care. "Are you sure you made it for the master?"

"Sure. For the past half month, the master has asked us to cook a bowl of blood swallows and send it over every night."

Chen Lerong frowned. Father He's taste changed too quickly. "I'll send it to the master's study."

"Okay." The cook poured the cooked blood bird's nest into the bowl and said, "Madam, be careful. The blood bird's nest is still a little hot."

Chen Lerong came to the study room with the blood swallow in hand. The servant guarding the door nervously stopped Chen Lerong and said, "Madam, the master is handling court affairs. Don't let anyone disturb him."

"I'll deliver the things in and leave. I won't disturb him." Chen Lerong walked inside holding the blood swallow.

The servant still refused to let him go: "Madam, please give me the blood swallow and I will take it in."

This made Chen Lerong angry: "I just went in to deliver some food, why are you blocking me?"

Of course, the old man had another woman in his study, and the lady couldn't let her know. The servant replied with all his strength, "The master has said that no one is allowed to go in and disturb him. Madam, please don't embarrass me."

The servant's behavior made Chen Lerong suspicious. Thinking of He's father's abnormal behavior during this period, she felt that He's father must be hiding something from her. She ignored the servant and went straight into the study.

The servant hurriedly followed: "Madam, you can't go in."

Seeing that the light was on in the bedroom, Chen Lerong quickened her pace, pushed open the red wooden door, walked into the bedroom, and saw He's father holding a woman in a pink gauze dress.

The woman's face, under the dim light, was so indescribably beautiful that it immediately struck Chen Lerong.

Chen Lerong's heart couldn't stop beating, and the blood swallow drop in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, startling the two people who were hugging each other.

Father He looked at Chen Lerong standing at the door, and shouted angrily to the servant who came over: "I told you not to let anyone in, why didn't you guard the door?"

The servant knelt on the ground tremblingly: "It was the Madam who forced her way in, and I couldn't stop her. Master, please don't be angry."

At this time, Chen Lerong finally understood why He's father had been staying in the study every day. It turned out that there was a beauty hidden in the room: "Who is this woman? When did you bring her into the mansion?"

Being discovered by Chen Lerong, He's father no longer concealed it: "Her name is Bai Lian, and I plan to take her as a concubine."

Chen Lerong completely collapsed, hysterical, and shouted loudly: "You promised me that you would never take a concubine in this life. I am the only woman in the He family."

He's father was also filled with guilt. The reason why he found it difficult to take Bai Lian as his concubine was because Bai Lian satisfied him very much. For so many years, Chen Lerong had not given birth to a son for him, and he couldn't let the He family lose its incense: "I know I didn't keep my word, and I feel guilty about you, but now Bai Lian is pregnant, I can't just ignore it."

Chen Lerong's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. This woman was too powerful. She got pregnant after being with He's father for just over a month. This was a huge worry for her.

She forced herself to calm down. The matter was already settled, and there was no point in making a scene now: "Wait until Bai Lian gives birth to the child, and then let her leave the He Mansion."

Bai Lian glared at Chen Lerong fiercely. This woman was really cruel. Not only did she get rid of the mother and keep the child, she also kept the child she gave birth to by her side.

Chen Lerong didn't want to drive her out of the He Mansion. She stepped forward and hugged He's father's arm, tears in her eyes, and she looked indescribably pitiful: "Master, my parents are both dead, and I have no family anymore. Please don't drive me out of the He Mansion."

He's father felt so distressed that he patted Bai Lian's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't abandon you." He turned his head and looked at Chen Lerong, "You heard what I said. I won't drive Bai Lian out of the He Mansion."

"You...do you still have me in your heart? What kind of magic potion did this woman feed you to make you help her like this?"

These days, Father He stayed with Bai Lian and enjoyed unprecedented comfort, which was something Chen Lerong could not give him. He also liked Bai Lian very much in his heart: "I have made up my mind, so don't continue to make trouble here."

Bai Lian hid behind He's father and gave Chen Lerong a proud and arrogant smile.

This made Chen Lerong very angry, and she walked forward and wanted to slap Bai Lian twice.

Bai Lian immediately shrank into He's father's arms and said pitifully, "I'm scared."
