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

"Take off his shirt." Old Mrs. Yu washed her hands with wine and ordered calmly.

Cheng Songan gritted his teeth, walked forward, untied Cui Yuanqing's belt, and took off his outer shirt. The further he went, the harder it became. The innermost layer of shirt was stuck to his back with blood, and every movement tore at his flesh.

Her hand paused, not daring to pull it out forcefully. She could only carefully lift up a dried piece. As soon as she lifted a corner, blood gushed out immediately. The piece of skin that was pierced by the sharp arrow was swollen and bloody.

Cheng Songan felt a pain in his body and stopped moving his hands.

Haitang and Qiangwei were standing nearby. Seeing that their daughter did not dare to take action, they said one after another, "Go aside, daughter. Let us do it."

Cui Yuanqing grabbed Cheng Songan's waist with his hand, sweat dripping down his forehead, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go."

Old Mrs. Yu said in a deep voice: "Use scissors."

Haitang and Qiangwei immediately handed them over. Cheng Songan held them tightly, trying to calm himself down. He cut along the burning skin inch by inch before taking off the inner garment.

Cui Yuanqing was shirtless, his broad back was swollen from being whipped, and from being shot by an arrow from his sleeve, his entire back was dyed red with blood.

Wherever Cheng Songan's eyes went, she was shocked. Her heartbeat started to become disorderly and she dared not look anymore.

Mrs. Yu's usually kind and peaceful face now became unusually fierce. She placed both her hands steadily and powerfully on the short arrow and whispered, "Yuan'er, I'm going to pull out the arrow."

Haitang handed over a folded gauze. Cui Yuanqing took it and put it in his mouth, clenched his jaw tightly, and nodded slightly.

Cheng Songan hesitated for a moment, and at the moment when Old Lady Yu pulled out the arrow, he placed Cui Yuanqing's head on his abdomen and hugged him with his eyes closed.

The next moment, her waist felt tight and Cui Yuanqing groaned as he hugged her tightly, almost breaking her waist. The two of them almost embedded themselves into each other's bodies.

The moment the arrow tip was pulled out, blood splattered everywhere. Qiangwei trembled and blocked the wound with gauze containing hemostatic powder. Soon the gauze was stained, and Haitang replaced it with a new one. She repeated this three or five times before the wound stopped bleeding.

The clothes around Cheng Songan's abdomen had been soaked through by the cold sweat on Cui Yuanqing's forehead. She reached out to hold his arm, only to find that his hands were tightly wrapped around her like iron hoops, and she couldn't pry them apart no matter how hard she tried.

"Mr. Cui..." Cheng Songan changed his words in time and said softly, "It's okay."

Cui Yuanqing raised his head and met her misty eyes. He was dazed for a moment, then a smile appeared on his pale face. He opened his mouth calmly and said, "Xiao Yundai, you have grown up."

As soon as he finished speaking, his head dropped and hit her, and he fainted.

These words hit Cheng Songan's head like a thunderbolt. She pushed him tremblingly and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Miss, the master has fainted." Haitang and Qiangwei were so scared after what happened that they were soaked in blood. They whispered to her, "The bleeding hasn't stopped completely, but we have run out of hemostatic powder. We still have to go out and get some medicine."

Cheng Songan regained his senses and tried to stop her, "No, the whole capital is trying to capture assassins. If I go and get a lot of medicine to stop bleeding and heal wounds now, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Prince Jin is not a fool. He can see that I am not that seriously injured."

Old Madam Yu said calmly, "Yun Dai is right. Help him to the bed and make him lie prone."

Cheng Songan looked at the jade plate hanging high outside the window. The moonlight was like silver scattered all over the ground, making the bloodstains more vivid. She couldn't lie to the moon, she was afraid that Cui Yuanqing would die.

The courtyard door opened, and Ta Xue walked into the house wrapped in a gust of cold wind, with an unconcealed secret joy: "Girl, it's done."

Li Wenbin had been keeping an eye on Doctor Sun's youngest son, Sun Guangzong, and when something big happened at Hongyan Tower, he immediately seized the opportunity and had someone lure him nearby.

It is an extremely risky task for the officers to catch assassins. There are many cases where they are killed by the assassins after being caught. It is even more disadvantageous if they fail to catch the assassins. Therefore, if many assassins really escape, they will catch someone to take the blame to complete the task.

Sun Guangzong had never had such an experience before. When he was caught by the police, he wet his pants in the street. Li Wenbin waited until he fainted from fright before coming forward to rescue him.

On the other hand, Taxue also sent people to pretend to inquire at the gate of Sun's house, which scared the whole Sun family out of their wits. Sun Guangzong hangs out with bad people every day, and it is only a matter of time before he gets into trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

Finally, Li Wenbin brought the unconscious Sun Guangzong into the Sun family's gate and said that he had rescued him while doing things for Madam Cui. Doctor Sun was naturally grateful and locked his youngest son in the woodshed. After the incident was over, he sent him back to his hometown in Jizhou overnight. These are all later stories.

Afterwards, Taxue said that Cheng Songan was kidnapped and injured by an assassin. Doctor Sun, a kind-hearted doctor, hurriedly carried his medicine box and brought all the hemostatic, analgesic, heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs in his home to Cui's house.

Through the curtain, Old Lady Yu told the doctor about her injuries. Doctor Sun listened to her heartbeat and made an assessment. He prescribed herbal medicine for external application to stop bleeding and relieve pain, and also prescribed herbal medicine for bathing. Afterwards, Doctor Sun stayed in Cui's guest room just in case.

Both bathrooms were equipped with hot water. Cheng Songan hurriedly washed off the bloodstains and changed into his pajamas. When he came out, the entire inner room had been cleaned. There was no bloodstain on the floor or on the couch, and there was no trace of Cui Yuanqing on the bed.

While she was stunned, Old Lady Yu appeared from behind her holding a scroll and explained to her, "Yuan'er is taking a medicinal bath."

Cheng Songan breathed a sigh of relief and sat blankly on the edge of the bed, feeling completely exhausted.

Old Madam Yu sighed and said, "A few years ago, Yuan'er resisted the marriage, which made you unable to raise your head in front of the noble ladies in the capital. You should blame him, but you may not know why he resisted the marriage."

Cheng Songan felt calm, as she already knew the answer.

In her previous life, she really didn't know why Cui Yuanqing resisted the marriage. She just thought that he didn't like her, and Cui Taigong threatened to die, so he resisted so much and treated her coldly. At that time, she didn't blame him, and even felt a little guilty because he had to marry her against his will. It was not until she died that she found out that it was because of her concubine sister. The resentment started from that moment.

In this reborn life, she witnessed Cui Yuanqing's secret meeting with Cheng Wanxin on the wedding night, visiting Cheng Wanxin through the wall, and speaking ill of her for Cheng Wanxin. All these things made her more unable to forgive Cui Yuanqing, and she felt even more sorry for herself in her previous life.

Why should she respond to him now that he has changed his mind?

Cheng Songan smiled faintly: "Grandma and granddaughter-in-law know that I will do my duty as a wife in the future."

Old Madam Yu sighed again, handed the scroll to her, and shook her head, saying, "You don't know."
