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

Cheng Songan immediately broke free from Cui Yuanqing's hand. The excitement brought by those words just now disappeared immediately. She straightened her clothes and said to Haitang, "Please come in."

Then he turned around and looked at Cui Yuanqing, motioning him to go back into the tent.

When Cui Yuanqing heard that Lu Qingshan had arrived, his face turned extremely ugly. He snorted and went back inside.

There were footsteps in the courtyard, and it sounded like there were many people coming. From time to time, the voice of Old Lady Yu could be heard, so Cheng Songan asked someone to remove the screen. First, a person rushed in like a whirlwind and asked anxiously, "Sister, how are you?"

It was Cheng Yanping.

Cheng Songan was delighted and stretched his neck to look outside: "Is my mother here too?"

Cheng Yanping immediately hung his head and said dejectedly, "My mother is ill. I didn't dare to tell her and Jin Ning, otherwise they would be even more worried. Now my aunt is taking care of her."

Cheng Songan suddenly had a bad feeling and grabbed Cheng Yanping's sleeve and asked, "Why did mother get sick for no reason? What's the disease?"

"Don't worry, sister," a clear and pleasant voice came from the door. Cheng Wanxin stood beside Zhang and said to her, "It's just a cold, it's nothing serious."

There were many people standing on the ground several feet outside the inner and outer rooms. Old Madam Yu was in the front, with Zhang and Madam Lu standing on both sides of her, and behind them were Cheng Wanxin and Lu Qingshan.

Cheng Songan could only swallow the words she was about to ask and looked at Cheng Yanping with worry in her eyes. The latter smiled and indicated that everything was just as Cheng Wanxin said.

Cheng Songan nodded, bowed and said to Madam Lu: "Songan greets auntie. Please forgive me for not being able to stand up to greet you."

Madam Lu walked quickly to the bedside, took her hand and said with a smile: "Good girl, please stop these empty formalities. Why do we women have to talk about this? Let your aunt see that you have grown into a big girl after not seeing you for so many years."

In her previous life, Cheng Songan married into the Cheng family before the Lu family came to Beijing. Perhaps because of the relationship between Cui Yuanqing and Lu Qingshan, the Cui family and the Lu family were not on good terms. Therefore, Cheng Songan had not seen Mrs. Lu for more than 20 years in two lifetimes.

She recalled that when she was in Yizhou, she and Lu Qingshan often quarreled with each other. Thanks to Mrs. Lu's tolerance and letting them do as they pleased, those days were really happy. Compared with her current life, it was like heaven and earth. She suppressed her sadness and still said with a tone of wanting to cry: "Aunt, Yun Dai... I miss you so much."

With just this sentence, Mrs. Lu's eyes turned red. She held her hand with one hand and stroked her face with the other hand, choking and saying, "You've lost weight."

The Lu family has nine sons, most of whom are Mrs. Lu’s biological children. Not having a daughter is her lifelong regret. She treats Cheng Songan as her daughter from the bottom of her heart.

"Why are you crying, mother? You're saying that as if the Cui family has treated her unfairly. Fortunately, everyone knows that the Cui family's grandmother and aunt are old friends of our family, so they won't argue with you." Lu Qingshan stood behind her and said to Old Lady Yu, "Isn't that right, grandmother?"

Old Madam Yu smiled cheerfully: "Qingshan has also learned to be smooth-talking."

Mrs. Lu then pressed the corners of her eyes with a piece of silk, punched her son in the back, and said angrily, "You bastard, how dare you make fun of your mother."

Everyone in the room started laughing, and Old Lady Yu asked everyone to sit down.

Lu Qingshan just smiled faintly and glanced casually at the person on the bed, pretending to be quite serious.

Cheng Songan felt a little strange. The Cui family and the Lu family were also old friends? How come he had never heard of it? In that case, Cui Yuanqing and Lu Qingshan had known each other since childhood, but the two of them were like fighting cocks when they met. It didn't seem like it. Could it be because of Xue Tingyun?

But it was not convenient to ask at this time, so she also laughed and said, "I was just frightened, not hurt. I shouldn't have bothered my aunt to come."

In front of these elders, Lu Qingshan looked serious and said calmly, "In a hurry yesterday, I took you out from the pile of dead bodies. It was not right, but since you and I are brother and sister, it is a different matter."

Cheng Songan was a little confused for a moment, and then he saw Mrs. Lu waving her hand and asking someone to bring in a box of things, which were lined up in a row. They seemed to be items for recognizing relatives.

Madam Lu said to Old Madam Yu and Zhang: "Prepare the gifts today, and then complete the ceremony when Yun Dai is well."

Old Lady Yu and Zhang only heard about the dangerous situation yesterday, and didn't know that it was Lu Qingshan who carried Cheng Songan out of the pile of dead bodies. Upon hearing this, they hurriedly thanked him and gave Lu Qingshan a return gift. They discussed that they would perform the brother-sister ceremony after he recovered.

Lu Qingshan's eyes showed impatience, and he seemed very unhappy. Cheng Songan knew that he was reluctant, but since he had said it himself yesterday, he had no choice but to accept it.

Madam Lu sighed, "In my heart, I have long regarded Yun Dai as my own daughter. Now that the matter is clear, I am not afraid of offending you two by saying this. The reason why I did not acknowledge her in the first few years was actually because I had a selfish desire to make her my daughter-in-law. Who knew that you would get there first?"

The tone was full of regret.

Lu Qingshan showed a strange expression on his face. He glanced at Cheng Songan and said dissatisfiedly, "Mother, don't talk nonsense. This girl has been wild and cunning since she was a child. She is very domineering. She only deceived the grandmother and aunt of the Cui family."

Cheng Songan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. If she still had her previous temper, she would have beaten him up long ago. But considering that Xue Tingyun was nowhere to be found, she took pity on him and didn't bother with him.

Old Madam Yu didn't take it seriously. Instead, she laughed and said, "Thanks to Yuan'er's grandfather for making the decision early on. I already knew what she was like when she was little. But I like such a genuine character."

Cheng Songan just smiled silently and said nothing. From his peripheral vision, he saw Cheng Wanxin sitting quietly aside, turning a deaf ear to what was being said, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhang noticed it, and then suddenly remembered, she sighed, "I don't have a daughter either, and was just thinking of adopting a second daughter, but my mother-in-law got sick again."

Madam Lu said, "I went to see her, but I didn't see any serious symptoms. Maybe she has offended someone. Let Yanping go to the temple tomorrow to bring back a statue of the Buddha and offer it as a sacrifice."

Zhang nodded and said, "What a coincidence. Yun Dai has not been feeling well and is planning to live in the villa near Baoguo Temple for a while. It shows that mother and daughter are very close."

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the others changed except for Mrs. Lu and Cheng Yanping.

Old Mrs. Yu lowered her eyes and sighed silently, while Cheng Wanxin's eyes moved and she was no longer in a daze. She looked at Cheng Songan's bed with interest.

Lu Qingshan asked directly, somewhat unexpectedly: "You want to live in the manor?"

Cheng Songan nodded.

Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and said indifferently to the elders, "Since Yun Dai and I are siblings, there is no need to rush to perform the ceremony. I will accompany her to the temple to pray to the Bodhisattva tomorrow. Yan Ping has just been appointed, so just concentrate on the task."
