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

Cheng Songan quickly stretched his foot out from under the quilt and kicked lightly, but the next moment, Cui Yuanqing's big hand grasped his ankle tightly, and he couldn't pull it back.

Zhang saw that she looked unhappy and asked hesitantly, "Did your wife suffer any injustice in your house?"

Cheng Songan smiled awkwardly, "Mother, you misunderstood. I grew up in the mountains. After returning to the capital, my health has not been good. I can't help you with the chores in the mansion, and I can't serve the elders. Instead, I often make you and grandmother worry. It's better for me to go to the mountains to recuperate."

Zhang was silent. She didn't really care whether her daughter-in-law was in the mansion or not. Anyway, the old lady was there, and the daughter-in-law hardly served her. She had no time to act like a mother-in-law. But she was worried that her daughter-in-law, who had just moved in, would go to live in the manor, which might lead people to speculate that something had happened in the family. Moreover, the Cheng family was also in the capital, and Cheng Daxueshi's official position was higher than Cui Ziqi's. How she should explain this to Madam Feng was also a problem.

Cheng Songan understood her thoughts and asked Haitang to take out a copy of the Heart Sutra. He said to Zhang, "Mother, this Heart Sutra was given to me by Master Minghua of Baoguo Temple. I haven't read it for a day in recent days. I think it is a blasphemy. Why don't you go to a mountain villa closer to the temple and practice for a while, so as to pray for your husband."

The whole country of Daqian Dynasty believed in Buddhism. Baoguo Temple was the national temple, and Master Minghua was a famous monk. Zhang was shaken when she heard this. Cui Yuanqing's trip would be dangerous, and she was worried. After hearing the last sentence, she was even more satisfied. She immediately said, "There is our farm near Baoguo Temple. Tomorrow I will have someone clean it up and live with you for a few days."

Cheng Songan shook his head and said, "Mother can't stay at home for a day. If you let her go with you, who will take care of the household affairs? Who will take care of grandma? Why don't I offer a few sea lanterns for mother and make a wish for her? You can go with grandma to fulfill the wish someday."

"Besides, the Cheng family owns a Yuqiao Mountain Villa there, where the Holy Ancestor once stayed when he worshipped Buddha. There is an imperial plaque on the villa, and there are guards outside the villa. Ordinary people cannot go there. Isn't it safer and cheaper?"

When Zhang heard this, she thought it made sense, so she stopped trying to stop her and just asked the maids and guards who were going to accompany her.

After chatting for a while, Cheng Songan maintained the same posture and was about to pull her foot back, but Cui Yuanqing still held it tightly. So she kicked hard and hit Cui Yuanqing right in the middle of his leg. He groaned from inside and was almost exposed.

Fortunately, a crisp greeting covered it up. Cui Wenxin knelt down behind the screen and said, "Greetings to Grandpa."

Cui Ziqi saw a pregnant woman and a little girl kneeling beside her. He knew they were from the side branch of South Street, but he couldn't recognize who they were, so he said, "Get up quickly."

As he said this, he took another toy from the table and handed it to Sister Qi. Seeing that he was amiable, Sister Qi respectfully called him "Grandpa."

Cui Ziqi was even happier. He held Sister Qi in his arms and asked, "Whose child are you?"

Cheng Songan said, "These are the daughter and daughter-in-law of the fourth grandmother from South Street, and the younger one is her granddaughter."

Cui Ziqi thought about it carefully, then laughed and said, "Fourth girl is so lucky."

Cheng Songan couldn't help but want to laugh. Although Fourth Grandma Cui was over 40 years old, she was still the fourth girl in Cui Ziqi's eyes. It was obvious that the affection from their childhood was still there, just like Cui Yuanqing and Cui Wenxin in the past, but their feelings were not always maintained and gradually faded.

It was not easy to meet Cui Ziqi, and it was even more difficult for him, a simple-minded man who did not want to get involved in other people's affairs, to take the initiative to take care of Fourth Grandma's affairs. They came at the right time.

Seeing the haggard look on Zhou's face, Cheng Songan knew that Cui Wenkang and the fourth grandmother must have made it clear that they wanted to return the family lineage to the ancestors for three generations. So he asked Cui Wenxin, who couldn't keep the secret, "How is your brother doing with his work recently?"

Cui Wenxin's face froze, and she smiled faintly, "Brother is much better now than before when he was not doing his job properly."

Zhang saw that she was smiling reluctantly, and asked in confusion, "Why are you and your sister-in-law both like this? What's the problem?"

Zhou lowered her head with her big belly and stammered, "Nothing, just some trivial matters at home."

Cui Wenxin gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but she felt that she had troubled Cheng Songan a lot and didn't want to add to her distress during her illness, so she endured it and didn't say anything.

Neither Zhang nor Cui Ziqi were the kind of people who liked to meddle in other people's affairs, so they just let it go.

But Qi Jie'er in Cui Ziqi's arms suddenly cried, "Daddy yelled at grandma and made her sick, and daddy even beat mom."

Zhou quickly took her over and scolded her in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."

Cui Ziqi frowned. The Cui family had a clean and upright family tradition. Although he did not like to meddle in other people's business, he would never allow anything that would bring disgrace to the family to happen under his nose. So he asked Cui Wenxin, "Is what she said true? Did your brother really beat your sister-in-law, a pregnant woman? And he even made your mother sick with anger?"

Cui Wenxin's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head without saying a word. Silence meant consent.

Cui Ziqi slammed the table heavily and said angrily: "Little bastard! Why did he dare to do such a rebellious thing?"

Zhang was startled and said angrily, "Don't scare the child!"

Cui Wenxin and Zhou looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything.

Cheng Songan interrupted and said, "Grandpa asked you questions, just answer them. Do you want him to kill his mother before you stop?"

Cui Wenxin shuddered, knelt down and cried, "The doctor said that my sister-in-law is pregnant with a boy and will be in labor soon. She should have come to the mansion to ask grandfather to give her a name, but my brother refused, saying that he wanted to take the surname Qian and did not need to come to the mansion to report it, nor did he want to be included in the Cui family's name list and genealogy. My mother got anxious and scolded him a few words, so he started arguing with my mother. My sister-in-law just gave me some advice, but he slapped her..."

Cui Ziqi was furious, his face flushed red, even the usually cold-hearted Zhang couldn't help but curse: "Rebellious son and evil grandson!"

Cheng Songan's mouth curled up. Cui Wenkang was indeed still the same person as in his previous life. He had no conscience and no plans at all.

Cui Ziqi suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice, "The Cui family is not extinct yet, and the rules and regulations are still there, but he has rebelled. I will not go to the yamen today! Come, bring that beast Cui Wenkang to me, and I will personally interrogate him."

Cui Wen was so frightened that he dared not answer, and Zhou was so frightened that she dared not even breathe.

Cheng Songan knew that it was not yet time to really deal with Cui Wenkang, so he just let Cui Ziqi have this matter in his mind, so he advised: "Father, wait a minute."

Cui Ziqi paused and asked, "Are you letting that little beast go?"

Cheng Songan pondered and said, "Kang Ge'er is young, so it's inevitable that he will be confused. He just hangs out with some bad people. One day, check who he associates with and tell him to make sure he cuts off all contact, so that he won't be found out by the patrol department and affect the reputation of my father-in-law and husband. As for the fourth grandmother, I'll have someone go and tell her that it was the will of the old lady and my parents-in-law that the grandson of the Cui family will never take a foreign surname, so she must be at ease."

Cui Ziqi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. Mother and son are connected by heart. If the punishment is too severe, it will lead to complaints and be laughed at by outsiders. It will not be too late to punish Cui Wenkang if he does something to let the Cui family down.
