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

Cui Yuanqing put the bowl aside without saying a word, carefully lifted up Cheng Wanxin's hands, took a piece of cloth from the side and gently wiped them for her. Cheng Wanxin's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly because of the pain, her lower lip was almost bitten to bleed, her whole body shrank into a ball, but she stubbornly refused to cry out in pain.

This makes people even more pitiful.

Cheng Songan looked at him indifferently. When she returned home to visit her parents that day, her hand had been hurt by a flower thorn. At that time, Cui Yuanqing half-knelt in front of her, spread out her hand, and used a silver needle to pick out the small thorns bit by bit. His movements were light and accurate, and brought her a moment of warmth.

But afterwards he forcibly pressed her hand into the water to wash it. She cried out in pain, but he smiled and said she was being delicate. It turned out that he cared more about people who were not delicate.

Taxue was favored by Cheng Songan, and her temper had turned into a temper. Seeing this situation, she immediately came over with a sullen face and said in a sarcastic tone: "Sir, don't forget the rules of the Cui family. How can you be so ignorant of etiquette? If the second young lady is injured, we servants will take care of her. Who are you? How can you wipe my sister's hands so unreservedly?"

She usually followed Haitang and the others in calling him Sir, but now she deliberately called him Young Master to remind him not to forget the reputation of the Cui family.

Cui Yuanqing paused what he was doing, looked at Taxue with a little surprise, then handed the cloth to her and stood up and sat aside.

Taxue was stunned and looked back at Cheng Songan. Both of them had confusion in their eyes. How could Cui Yuanqing be so obedient?

Cheng Wanxin's tears dripped down her back. She looked at Cui Yuanqing sadly, her eyes showing that she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Cheng Songan sneered, "Master Cui, are you going back to Beijing for my second sister? It's really unfortunate that you arrived at such a lucky time."

At this point, she paused and said, "Just think carefully. If you don't drink this bowl of medicine, she will have to get into the bridal sedan chair with a big belly after the New Year."

Cui Yuanqing's eyebrows tightened, and one hand grabbed the bed rail, almost breaking it, but his face remained calm, and he said sparingly, "It's okay."

"Very good, since that's the case, my lord has returned from Jiangnan. Is there anything else you want to do?" Cheng Songan asked, staring at his profile which never met his gaze.

Cui Yuanqing still did not move, and replied: "I have to go back the day after tomorrow, and there are still ten months left in the one-year deadline we agreed on."

Cheng Songan clenched her fists. Even though it was already settled, they were still nominally married at this moment. Cui Yuanqing was so openly refusing to divorce her while getting close to another woman, who was his half-sister! This was clearly humiliating her!

Cheng Songan stood up suddenly, picked up the bowl of medicine again, pushed Cui Yuanqing away, pulled Cheng Wanxin up, pinched her face and forced a mouthful of medicine down her throat, which choked Cheng Wanxin and made her cough violently.

Cui Yuanqing was shocked. He stepped forward to grab the medicine bowl, grabbed Cheng Songan's wrist and pulled her away. He also seemed to deliberately keep a distance from Cheng Wanxin. He said in a deep voice after he was far away from her: "Stop!"

Cheng Songan raised one hand and slapped Cui Yuanqing with lightning speed. Cui Yuanqing slightly turned sideways, and the slap was deflected and hit Cui Yuanqing's neck, leaving a mark from her nails. She shouted, "You let me suffer this humiliation. I can't hit her, so you have to take it for her!"

Cui Yuanqing stood on the ground with his back straight. Before he could say anything, he saw Cheng Wanxin struggling to get off the bed, stumbling towards Cheng Songan, kneeling at her feet and crying, "Sister, it's Wanxin who is sorry for you. It's me who brought shame to the Cheng family. Hit me now!"

While crying, she grabbed Cheng Songan's hand and hit herself in the face.

Cui Yuanqing showed reluctance in his eyes and stepped forward to help her up from the ground, but Cheng Wanxin's hand was still tightly holding Cheng Songan.

Cheng Songan pried open her fingers one by one, pulled his hand out of hers, took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully, then threw the handkerchief away and said word by word: "Don't dirty my hands."

Cui Yuanqing restrained his emotions, staring at the handkerchief she threw on the ground, a little angry: "You..."

Cheng Wanxin rushed to the table in grief, picked up the bowl of medicine, and didn't even notice the tears falling into it. She said to the two of them, "Don't blame me, sir. I was shameless. I should drink it..."

Cui Yuanqing snatched it from her hand and threw it to the ground. This last bowl was also spilled, mixed with the residue from the previous two bowls, splashing half of Cheng Songan's skirt.

Taxue and Haitang were startled, and came forward one after the other, both with anger on their faces. On the contrary, Cheng Songan calmed down and said slowly: "It seems that father will have to endure another stimulation today."

The two girls didn't understand for a moment.

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "His legitimate daughter is going to the Taichang Temple to ask for a divorce."

Taxue and Haitang nodded, supported her and were about to go out.

Cui Yuanqing showed a rare sign of panic. He strode over to block their way and whispered, "No."

Cheng Songan stared at him expressionlessly: "Get lost!"

Cui Yuanqing stood there stubbornly with his head down, neither touching her nor refusing to let her go.

After a stalemate, Taxue frowned and scratched his head in confusion. Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Jining rushed in, shouting, "Big sister, go to mother's yard quickly, it's terrible!"

Cheng Songan was shocked. Could it be that his mother's condition had changed?

Cheng Jinning walked into the room and saw Cui Yuanqing. She was surprised, but then asked happily, "When did my brother-in-law come back? He didn't even bother to greet his father and mother, but came to see my elder sister?"

Cheng Songan didn't bother to explain to her and asked, "What happened to mother?"

Cheng Jinning then remembered the purpose of coming here, took a look inside, and said, "It's not mother, it's the Jin family in Yangzhou that has an accident."

Cheng Songan felt relieved when she heard that it wasn't her mother, but the next sentence immediately made her heart hang again. She raised her eyes and looked at Cui Yuanqing with a contemptuous smile: "Very good, Master Cui, oh, very good!"

There was a sense of desolation in her smile, and the joints in her hands made a crackling sound. She said "very good" several times before supporting Haitang and slowly walking out.

Cheng Jinning looked at Cui Yuanqing, then at her distraught sister, not understanding what was going on between them, and hurriedly chased after her, saying, "Sister, I haven't finished yet. The Jin family is also involved in the Jiangnan fraud case. It was just discovered, but the eldest son was found drowned in the West Lake."

Cheng Songan smiled contemptuously. This is how Cui Yuanqing solved the problem!

She didn't know whether the Jin family was really involved in the fraud case, but it happened so coincidentally that she didn't think Cui Yuanqing didn't do it on purpose.

"What did father say?" Cheng Songan asked.

Cheng Jining curled her lips: "Father seems relieved. He didn't want my second sister to marry so far away in the first place."

Cheng Songan remained silent.

"This news was sent by Brother Qingshan," Cheng Jinning suddenly said, "Right now, they are still in mother's room."

Cheng Songan asked suspiciously: "They?"
