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

The scroll slowly unfolded, revealing a picture of a beauty. A young girl was sitting among blooming mountain flowers, playing the piano. She had a faint smile on her face and a pair of gentle eyes full of affection.

Cheng Songan's hand holding the scroll was shaking slightly, his face was full of disbelief, and he looked at it again and again in shock.

"Does this girl look familiar to you?" Old Mrs. Yu asked slowly.

Cheng Songan couldn't calm down for a long time, and he couldn't come back to his senses to answer the question for a long time.

Old Mrs. Yu didn't urge her, she just looked at her silently.

"Fifth Miss..." Cheng Songan realized that his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, "She is Fifth Miss Xue, Xue Tingyun."

Old Mrs. Yu said "hmm", then slowly rolled up the scroll and put it aside.

Cheng Songan suppressed the anxiety and frenzy in his heart and asked hesitantly: "She...what does it have to do with her?"

Old Madam Yu sighed and said slowly, "Her father, Xue Chengdong, was also an official in Beijing. Tingyun and Yuaner grew up together and can be considered childhood sweethearts."

After listening to the old lady's story, Cheng Songan's head buzzed and the surroundings were so quiet that she thought she was deaf. It turned out that the person Cui Yuanqing really liked was not Cheng Wanxin, but Xue Tingyun.

The reason why Cui Yuanqing liked Cheng Wanxin was because she was too much like Xue Tingyun. This resemblance did not refer to appearance, but to the same temperament and talent, as well as similar life experience. Xue Tingyun was the concubine of the Xue family. She had a mistress above her and a legitimate sister below her, who were all superior to her. Even though she was dignified, virtuous and talented, she was not taken seriously.

But Cui Yuanqing discovered her uniqueness among thousands of ordinary women. They knew and appreciated each other and were a perfect match made in heaven. If Cui Taigong had not prevented him, Cui Yuanqing's wife today would undoubtedly be Xue Tingyun.

Cheng Songan only felt that the blood and energy in her chest were gathering together, rushing forward to tear her apart. No wonder Cui Yuanqing cared so much about Cheng Wanxin. No matter what happened, he would stand by her side without hesitation. He was fighting for Xue Tingyun by speaking up for Cheng Wanxin.

It's so ridiculous. It turns out that everything she did after her rebirth was like a joke. Cui Yuanqing let go of Cheng Wanxin so easily because she was just a substitute. The unshakable person in his heart was Miss Xue Wu.

Of course, it was not only Cui Yuanqing who discovered that Xue Tingyun was unique. Lu Qingshan also mentioned to him more than once how good Miss Xue Wu was and how he could not compare to her. No wonder he would mock her in a sarcastic way every time he met her after his rebirth.

From this point of view, in the previous life, Lu Qingshan and Cui Yuanqing were never fighting over Cheng Wanxin, but Xue Tingyun. Later, he proposed to marry Cheng Wanxin in order to make things difficult for Cui Yuanqing.

Cheng Songan finally understood why Cui Yuanqing hated her so much and made her pay the price of her life in her previous life. He did not resist the marriage because he wanted to marry the person he loved, but because the person he wanted to marry indirectly caused his beloved to disappear.

That day, after she heard Lu Qingshan talking about the Xue family on the street, she had inquired about it. The crime Xue Chengdong committed was vague, but the punishment was severe. The person who nailed him to death was Cheng Songan's grandfather who had retired and returned home.

That is why Cui Yuanqing said, "You didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of you."

Cheng Songan just felt cold all over. When Cui Yuanqing confessed his feelings to her and wanted to show her his heart, when he begged her to hug him, she felt a kind of pleasure of revenge. In his previous life, he treated her so coldly, and she finally had a moment to reverse her status and became the one who showed indifference.

But now the hope in her heart was gradually shattered. The idea that Cui Yuanqing fell in love with her was simply ridiculous. There was a life between them.

She would not forgive him for the sake of her own life in her previous life. If you put yourself in his shoes, how could Cui Yuanqing abandon Xue Tingyun's life to love her?

"Grandma..." Cheng Song'an opened her mouth, her throat was hoarse. She was not sure if she could still call out the word "grandmother". After all, in her two lives, she had regarded Old Madam Yu as her only relative in the Cui Mansion. But now it seemed that the old lady also had selfish motives. She deliberately concealed what happened in the past and still let her marry into the family even though she knew that Cui Yuanqing would resent her.

When Mrs. Yu heard her pause, she showed guilt and sadness, and sighed, "Back then, your grandfather and I disagreed with the Xue family. It was not because we looked down on that child, but because we felt that Xue Chengdong was not a gentleman. After they left Beijing, Yuan'er and the child naturally lost contact, and we naturally stopped thinking about him. But who knew..."

"But who would have thought that my grandfather found evidence of Xue Chengdong's guilt and sentenced him to death. All the male members of the family were exiled and the female members were enslaved. Miss Xue Wu lost contact on the way to exile and has been unknown whether she is dead or alive since then..." Cheng Songan continued the rest of the words and laughed dispiritedly, his eyes a little dull.

Old Madam Yu felt a pain in her heart and said sadly, "My dear, this matter is the fault of your grandfather and I. Yuan'er was also very happy to welcome you into the family, but at that time, something happened to the Xue family..."

Cheng Songan listened in silence, sneering continuously. Cui Yuanqing welcomed her in with joy? What a joke. Until this moment, Old Lady Yu was still speaking for him, asking her to accept him.

"Without destruction, there is no construction." Old Lady Yu clenched her cane and sighed, "I had planned to keep it a secret from you for life, but I felt that if you didn't untie this knot between you, you would never be able to truly accept each other."

Cheng Songan laughed until tears fell. For this knot, she paid with her life in her previous life, and only in return did she get an explanation in this life.

Old Mrs. Yu couldn't bear to look at her, and didn't know how to face her, so she had to stand up and said, "Good child, have a good rest tonight, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Cheng Songan wiped away his tears, put on his coat and walked her to the door. Looking at her staggering back, his eyes became sore and tears fell again.

Although Old Lady Yu concealed this matter, her love for her was not fake. Because she knew this, she protected her everywhere in the mansion. Even when she took a sword to kill Cui Yuanqing, she just thought that Cui Yuanqing had angered her and did not hesitate to whip him herself.

Cheng Songan sat on the steps in front of the door, the moonlight shining on her body, as if she was coated with a layer of light.

Li Wenbin came out from the corner and bowed, "Miss, it's cold, please go to bed early."

Only then did Cheng Songan realize that Li Wenbin was still there. According to the rules of the mansion, after nightfall, the inner courtyard was locked and no men were allowed to enter. But today, for some reason, he and Taxue brought Doctor Sun back together and had not reported to her yet, so he had been waiting in the courtyard.

She said apologetically, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. It's too late. Come back tomorrow."

Li Wenbin bowed his head and agreed, took a step back, and said, "Miss, when you go out in the future, you should take me with you."

Cheng Songan felt warm in her heart. The people around her now were all loyal to her.
