After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

Feng was a straightforward person who would not beat around the bush. She did not just walk away in disdain at the family dinner just now because she was considering her son-in-law and the guests. Now that she had returned to the room, she no longer concealed her feelings and asked her daughter with a sullen face why she did that.

Cheng Songan sat over and snuggled up to her intimately. She used to pursue modesty blindly, always acting like a little adult and rarely being so close to her mother. At this moment, Feng's long-lost maternal tenderness was aroused. She sighed and hugged her daughter in her arms.

Cheng Songan hugged her arm and said, "Mother, in your opinion, how does father treat Aunt Shen?"

Feng said calmly, "Mrs. Shen is young and beautiful, gentle and considerate, and has read a few books. Your father and she are quite compatible."

After hearing this, Lin snorted coldly, "It's a pity that people are greedy. You can see how the lady treats her, but she is always holding back and wants to replace the lady. The master can't see it, but I can see it clearly."

Cheng Songan nodded. Shen had hidden it very well. She had also been deceived in her previous life. She thought that her humble behavior was sincere. If Cheng Wanxin had not said those words before she died in her previous life, Cheng Songan would not have suspected that her mother's illness was strange and was most likely a trick of them.

There is nothing wrong with being ambitious and wanting to be the best, but what is wrong is having evil intentions, repaying kindness with enmity, and harming other people's lives.

"What about father?" Cheng Songan asked, "Aunt, what do you think is the meaning of father's treatment of Aunt Shen?"

Aunt Lin clapped her hands and said, "The eldest lady is the one who sees things clearly. After such a scandal, the master only confined the second lady to her house and never beat or scolded her. Aunt Shen was only fined a few months' salary. It is obvious that the master is not going to punish her severely. He just did it for Madam to see and then find an opportunity for Madam to make the decision."

Feng slammed her palm on the table, causing the cups and plates to fall to the ground. She spat and cursed, "Bullshit! We in the Feng family hate such shameless behavior the most, and we also hate people who take detours to achieve their goals."

Feng was raised in a military officer's family. When she was a child, she was even more naughty than Cheng Song'an. Only after she married Cheng Zhongwen did she restrain her temper a lot. She also learned to bring up her daughter according to the rules of aristocratic family. But after hearing this, her old temper was exposed again.

Lin hurriedly advised.

Cheng Songan knew the harm of holding back emotions, so he waited for his mother to vent before saying, "Don't worry, mother. What father did may not be a bad thing."

Feng stared and asked, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Songan told her what he was thinking: "No matter what, Second Sister hasn't done anything shameful yet, so we saved her life. If we kill her now, who knows what the people in the mansion will think. Third Sister is about to reach the age of marriage, and if even the slightest rumor gets out, how can she discuss marriage? Even if it's Yan Ping, I'm afraid there will be some daughters from good families who don't want to marry into the mansion."

Feng cared for Cheng Yanping and Cheng Jinning just as Lin cared for Cheng Songan. They both loved Cheng Yanping and Cheng Jinning equally. Upon hearing this, Feng remained silent.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Cheng Songan continued, "Father has feelings for Shen, so even if Second Sister has an affair, Shen is only at fault for not noticing it, not for condoning it. If Mother punishes Second Sister too severely for this, Father will only pity Shen more."

Feng suddenly said, "I never cared who your father loved."

If it were in the previous life, Cheng Songan would definitely think that his mother was pretending to be magnanimous, but in this life he saw it clearly. When Lin heard this, she smiled slightly. The two of them did not look at each other or say a word, but everything was implied.

Not sad for the man, even if that man is her father, Cheng Songan is also very happy for her mother. She said softly: "It doesn't matter who my father pities. What's important is that if he pities too much, it will make her have many thoughts that she shouldn't have."

Lin was also startled and nodded, "Miss is right."

Cheng Songan said, "Therefore, not only should we gently expose the second sister, but we should also marry her off as soon as possible to prevent her from continuing to have an affair with her adulterer. This way, my father will only feel resentment when he sees Shen, and he won't be afraid of her making trouble again."

Feng groaned and said, "That's right. It would be best if she were married far away, thousands of miles away from the adulterer in the capital, so that they would never meet again."

Cheng Songan originally just wanted to set up a connection with Lu Qingshan, but her mother's idea of ​​marrying Cheng Wanxin off to a distant place was a very good idea, so that she would have two plans.

However, I don't know how Cui Yuanqing will respond. He is not the Prime Minister of the Cabinet yet, and his power is not enough to interfere in the marriages of the children of officials appointed by the court. Will he chase her out of the capital and take her back, or let his beloved go to another side of the world?

Cheng Songan was really curious. She even couldn't wait to see what Cui Yuanqing's expression would be like after hearing the news.

Feng was even more anxious than she was. She immediately sent people to find an official matchmaker and to select a few families of comparable status. She had only one requirement: they must not be in Beijing.

Now that they had decided on a strategy, the three of them relaxed and chatted for a while.

It was getting late, but there was still no news of the end of the banquet at the Ancient Ivy Pavilion. Feng asked the maid to go to the front to check once, and then came back and said, "The master can't hold his liquor, and the boys are carrying the ivy basket to our courtyard right now."

Feng frowned and said, "Then put him in the second room and send someone to take good care of him. I am not used to the smell of alcohol."

Lin asked again: "What about the son-in-law and the brother of the Lu family?"

The maid replied, "My son-in-law and Young Master Lu are not drunk, but all the wine jars in the corner of the pavilion are empty, and Brother Ping is in high spirits and keeps asking for more wine."

Lin scolded, "You little bastard, you don't know the severity of your actions after drinking a few drops of cat urine. It's okay for the son-in-law to be on vacation, but the Lu family's brother has to go to the six ministries to fill in the vacancy tomorrow."

Feng said to Cheng Songan, "Ping is drunk, why don't we clean up a guest room for Qingshan to stay in, and then send someone to deliver a message to the Lu family. Yundai and Yuanqing can still live in the original courtyard."

Cheng Songan was worried that he had drunk too much today and would not give Lu Qingshan and Cheng Wanxin a chance to meet. Now that he had stayed here, the opportunity had come.

She nodded and said, "Then I will go to the waterside pavilion and ask them to leave. But I need you to make some hangover soup for me."

Lin said, "I'll go right away."

Cheng Songan took Haitang to the Ancient Vine Waterside Pavilion again. As soon as they entered, a strong smell of alcohol hit her face. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief, frowned and said to Cheng Yanping's servant: "Young Master is so drunk, send him back quickly."

The two servants hurriedly carried Cheng Yanping, who had fallen down drunk, on their backs and ran back to their own yard.

Only Cui Yuanqing and Lu Qingshan were left at the table. The two sat opposite each other with an attitude that was difficult to describe. There were undercurrents in their eyes that almost overflowed from the table, turning into blatant hostility.

Cheng Songan was stunned. The hostility between the two of them started a little too early. She had only mentioned to Lu Qingshan that he would go to Cheng Wanxin's courtyard to take a look, but she hadn't seen her yet. Even if Lu Qingshan came to the Cheng family when he was a child, it was at least several years ago. They were both still young at that time. Could it be that Lu Qingshan had fallen in love with Cheng Wanxin at that time?

Tsk tsk tsk, the person who is regarded as an enemy by Cui Yuanqing is really extraordinary.

Cheng Songan couldn't help but smile, it was written directly on his face, he said: "Brother Qingshan, you drank a lot today, the guest room in the mansion has been cleaned up, please stay here first. I will ask someone to send a bowl of sobering soup over later, and when you sober up, you still have to go see my second sister."

Cui Yuanqing's face froze when he heard this. He raised his red eyes from drinking and looked at her with a cold look in his eyes.

This scene fell into Lu Qingshan's eyes. He smiled with a strange expression and agreed, "That's great."

Haitang called the servant and took Lu Qingshan to the guest room in the outer courtyard.

The waterside pavilion was decorated with lights, and the breeze blew gently, stirring the lake water, reflecting the lights, and making the eyes of those who looked at the water ripples sparkle. However, in such gentle eyes, there was no longer the enthusiasm and expectation of the past. Cheng Songan said lightly: "My Lord is drunk, so please stay in the Chenglan Pavilion, the courtyard where I lived before I got married."

Cui Yuanqing seemed to care little about Cheng Songan's appearance. His grandfather often said that one should marry a virtuous wife, and her appearance was the least important. But at this moment, when he looked at Cheng Songan, his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Probably because he drank too much, Cui Yuanqing forced himself to lower his eyes and replied softly, "Yeah."

Cheng Songan turned around, leaving only his back, and did not intend to help him.

Cui Yuanqing suddenly said coldly from behind: "You are my newlywed wife. I advise you to break off the childhood sweetheart relationship as soon as possible."

Cheng Songan stopped in confusion. What was he talking about?
