Cheng Songan looked at the person who came and it was Ming Zhan. It seemed that he had something to do today. He was wearing a military uniform, which made him look more heroic than his usual clothes. He was indeed a young general with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

The soldier got up and was about to curse, but when he saw it was Ming Zhan, he kowtowed and greeted him: "It's General Ming, I'm blind and I offended you, I hope you will forgive me."

Ming Zhan snorted coldly, "How dare you to even pull Madam Cui. According to the laws of our dynasty, even common people can ride slowly for five miles outside the Nine Gates. If there is an emergency at home, they can ride fast and then report it. After that, they can be whipped thirty times. What's more, she is a lady of the dynasty? You are from the Patrol Department, and you don't know this?"

The man was so frightened that his legs went limp. He knew it very well. He just thought Cheng Songan was a woman who could be bullied. She was beautiful but dressed in ordinary clothes. She was definitely not a lady from a famous family, so he wanted to tease her.

He kowtowed in a cold sweat and apologized: "I was blind and did not recognize the great man. Please forgive me, Madam Cui."

As he said this, he slapped himself several times in the face.

Cheng Songan had no time to deal with him, so he just bowed to Ming Zhan and said, "Thank you, General Ming, for helping me out. My mother is seriously ill, so I'll leave first. I'll thank you another day."

Ming Zhan said, "Madam, there is no need to be so polite. Just return home as soon as possible."

Cheng Songan didn't bother to be polite with him. He kicked the horse's belly and galloped home quickly.

Ming Zhan looked down at the soldier lying on the ground and asked coldly, "What's your name?"

The man wiped his sweat and said, "My name is Xiao Guangjian..."

Ming Zhan snorted coldly: "Go to Chief Shi to accept your punishment, and don't let me see you patrolling the streets again."

Xiao Guangjian agreed quickly and ran away crawling.

Ming Zhan looked in the direction Cheng Songan went and let out a barely perceptible sigh. Somehow, he always felt uncomfortable whenever he saw her. She looked much more fragile than his sister and niece, but her eyes gave people a sense of majesty that could not be desecrated.

……

Cheng Songan rode back to the Cheng Mansion at full speed. A servant had already come out to lead the horse. The maidservant beside Feng ran out crying to welcome her in. The yard was crowded with people and there was crying all over the house.

She suppressed her pain and walked quickly into the inner room. From the bed to the door, the room was full of people. Cheng Zhongwen was sitting at the head of the bed, holding Feng's almost stiff hand, and his resolute face could not hide the sadness.

Cheng Songan pushed everyone aside, rushed over and knelt beside the bed, and called softly: "Mother, your daughter is back."

Feng's eyes, which had been wide open, suddenly turned around and a line of tears flowed from them. She seemed to want to speak, but her throat gurgled and she couldn't say anything. She could only breathe heavily.

Cheng Jinning hugged her and cried, "Sister, mother was fine last night, but she suddenly became like this today."

Cheng Songan stared with red eyes and turned around to search the room for Cheng Wanxin and her son.

Lin was kneeling in bed, naked, waiting on him. She saw what Cheng Songan meant and said to her, "Everyone in the mansion is in the courtyard. Only the second young lady has had an old illness and has not left Jingqiuzhai. Aunt Shen is taking care of her."

Trying to distance yourself from the matter is a bit too deliberate.

Cheng Songan said: "Call the Second Miss and Aunt Shen over here!"

Cheng Jining wiped her tears, immediately stood up, and took the maid with her.

Cheng Zhongwen sighed and choked up, "Daier, I'm afraid your mother...is not going to make it."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room immediately knelt down and cried quietly.

Cheng Songan shouted sternly: "Shut up! Why are you crying? Mother is fine. Anyone who dares to cry again will be dragged out and beaten to death!"

"Managers of each room and courtyard, take your people and do what they should do. If anything goes wrong in the past two days, you will be dealt with first! Get out if you have nothing to do. Call in all the doctors who have seen the doctor. I have something to ask."

The servants in the room were frightened. Everyone knew that the eldest lady was gentle and quiet, devoted to moral cultivation, and had never said a harsh word. How could she have been so harsh? Thanks to her scolding, the servants felt more confident, and the housekeepers of each courtyard immediately led the people from each courtyard away.

Cheng Zhongwen was also stunned. He was shocked by Cheng Songan's appearance and words. He looked at her as if he had never known his daughter before.

Cheng Songan looked past him and outside the yard. Li Wenbin and Cheng Yanping were running over with Doctor Sun, followed by Haitang, Qiangwei, Taxue and Mudan.

Doctor Sun was over 40 years old. He was dragged and pulled into Cheng's house by two strong young men. He was exhausted and panting. He didn't even have time to catch his breath. He leaned forward to feel the patient's pulse. As soon as he stretched out his hand, a helpless look appeared on his face. He lifted his eyelids and saw that his pupils were a little dilated.

He sighed deeply, took out a silver needle, and pierced her several important acupoints before saying, "I am incompetent and can only keep Madam alive. Madam, please speak quickly if you have anything to say."

After hearing this, Cheng Songan felt a black screen before his eyes and fell backwards. Fortunately, Haitang and Taxue were right behind him and supported him in time so he did not fall to the ground.

Cheng Jining and Cheng Yanping had already thrown themselves on the bed and burst into tears, while Lin looked at Feng calmly with eyes as gentle as water, as if she didn't care about anything around her.

Cheng Zhongwen was usually calm, but now he was disheartened and burst into tears: "Daier, talk to your mother again."

Cheng Songan looked at her mother who was smiling at the last bit of life on the bed with empty eyes, then knelt down and murmured, "It's not like that, mother, you shouldn't leave your daughter at this time."

Feng looked at her with a smile, and finally spoke slowly: "Yun Dai, mother is no longer able to live..."

Cheng Songan only heard this and burst into tears: "Mom, don't leave me."

Feng's tears also fell slowly: "Don't be sad, Yuanqing is a good child, I believe he can take good care of you. The only regret of mother is that I didn't have a grandson. Promise me that you will be good to Yuanqing and give birth to a boy or girl as soon as possible, and tell mother Yu at the grave."

Cheng Songan couldn't hold back her tears. She was reborn to bring peace and longevity to her mother and aunt, but she didn't know why her life ended up being shorter than in her previous life. How could she not feel regret and hatred?

Feng looked at the group of people beside the bed and shook her head, saying, "You all go out, leave Yun Gu to accompany me for the last time."

Lin smiled and said, "Aying, don't talk. I'll sing a song for you and have a good sleep."

After that, she no longer cared about her status as a concubine, and without even looking at the others, she simply said, "You all go out, Aying wants to sleep."

This was the first time that Cheng Songan knew that his mother’s nickname was Aying and Aunt Lin’s nickname was Yungu. They were not born with names like Feng and Lin, nor were they named by names that no one had ever called them on their name cards.

The room was filled with melodious nursery rhymes, just like the ones she sang to her children when they were little: "The moonlight shines on the hall. I ride on a bamboo horse and pass through the hall..."

Cheng Songan rushed over and cried hoarsely, "Mom, don't abandon Yun Dai..."

"Sister, let mother rest in peace." Cheng Wanxin dragged her sick body and stood by the door.

Shen wiped her tears and came up to help her: "Miss, if you are so reluctant, Madam will not be able to rest in peace in the next life..."
