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

Cheng Songan touched the well-behaved kitten. The little guy raised his head comfortably and licked her fingers, as if he was hungry.

"Taxue, bring some milk over." Cheng Songan ordered happily, "They must be hungry."

Taxue brought the milk and poured it into small bowls. He gave one bowl to the two white cats and the other bowl to the civet cat. Cheng Songan took it and fed it himself. The little civet cat swallowed it quickly, making a "gurgling" sound in its throat.

Ming Zhan couldn't help but smile when he saw that the cat was very much to her liking. He turned his head slightly and saw his niece staring at him with a half-smile. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and said with his head down, "The cat has been delivered, and Madam Cheng has also visited. We can go back and report to my sister now."

Duan Zhuyu smiled teasingly and said, "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to accompany me."

Ming Zhan just smiled slightly and didn't answer.

Cheng Songan suddenly asked, "General Ming was dressed in military uniform yesterday. I guess he was going back to the northwest?"

Ming Zhan was obviously a little anxious when he heard about the northwest, but he still smiled at Cheng Songan and said, "It will take some time to return to the northwest. Yesterday, I was idle, so I just caught a few refugees at the city gate with the Yulin Guards."

Cheng Songan's hand holding the small bowl of milk froze. Refugees? There were refugees at this time?

Almost ten years had passed between her death in her previous life and now. After her rebirth, she was only obsessed with the grudges with Cui Yuanqing and Cheng Wanxin, and she could not remember many things clearly. She frowned and thought about it. It seemed that a large number of refugees would enter Beijing next year because of severe drought in Henan and Anhui, and the crops failed. The people had no harvest and became victims of the disaster.

To make matters worse, in the same year, there was drought in the north and flooding in the south. During the plum rain season in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there were several heavy rains, and it was still cloudy and rainy afterwards. The river embankments collapsed and the fertile fields in several counties and towns were flooded.

After these two disasters, people were living in poverty and unrest. Part of the money and grain in the national treasury was used for disaster relief, and military supplies to the northwest were greatly reduced. The Rong and Di people took the opportunity to invade the south. That was the most difficult battle that General Ming had ever fought, and he died not long after.

At that time, Lu Qingshan's first battle was not against the enemy, but to suppress the rebels. Cheng Songan was stunned and thought, as long as the people have food to eat, who would want to join the rebels in rebellion? I think Lu Qingshan also understood this truth, so when suppressing the rebellion, he simply killed hundreds of rebel leaders with a crushing force and ended the rebellion. His ability to deal with the refugee rebels can be said to be effortless, but at the same time he also gained a reputation for being ruthless.

Because of this, Lu Qingshan did not have a good reputation among the people in his early years. It was only after he went to the northwest and concentrated on fighting against the Rong and Di people that he finally became a famous general.

"General Ming," Cheng Songan asked him to stop, "In your opinion, why are there refugees?"

Ming Zhan was about to leave, but when he saw her asking, he sat down again, thinking for a while before saying, "There are refugees. Most of them are local officials who are corrupt and oppress the people, causing them to live in misery. Or there may be spies from other countries who are deliberately creating chaos and disturbing the hearts of our people."

Cheng Songan nodded slightly. It was possible that he was a spy from the enemy country, but the biggest reason was that the impending drought had begun to show signs, but Ming Zhan had not noticed it. After all, it was winter and the crops had not yet started to grow.

The words that Master Minghua said before he left, "The girl is still trapped in a maze, why not look at the world, so that your coming back will not be in vain" kept echoing in my mind.

Cheng Songan finally felt a sense of reality. If she was obsessed with the trivial matters of love, she would be wasting her life. She had to try her best to prevent more people from being displaced and selling their children in the next year's floods and droughts, which would lead to war.

But it's only the beginning of winter, and she can predict that there will be drought in Henan and Anhui next year, and floods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Who would believe her?

"Refugees are generally victims of disasters. In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there have only been heroes conquering everywhere, but few ordinary people willing to rebel." Situi bent down and entered the inner room, ignoring Ming Zhan who was sitting beside him. His eyes fell on Cheng Songan who was feeding cow milk to the cat slave, and he didn't know who he was talking to.

Cheng Songan raised his eyes and saw that it was him, and couldn't help but look behind him.

Si Tui said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Are you waiting for your brother Lu Shi to come over?"

Cheng Songan rolled her eyes at him. After the cat finished drinking the milk, it nuzzled against her belly comfortably. It seemed to like this place very much and kept rubbing its head against it.

She touched Li Nu's head and said, "Why didn't you bring Brother Lu Shi here? I have something to say to him."

After hearing this, Ming Zhan pulled Duan Zhuyu up and said, "Master Cui, Madam Cui, I am sorry to bother you today. I cannot stay any longer. I will take my leave now."

Si Tui nodded lightly.

Cheng Songan thanked him again: "Thank you, General Ming, for rescuing me yesterday. I wonder where the man who stopped me is working now?"

Ming Zhan was startled, and replied with a guilty conscience: "The man's name is Xiao Guangjian. I checked him out and found that he is not a good person. This is not the first time he has made a mistake. I asked someone to remove him from his post."

Si Tui’s eyes moved slightly, and he wanted to ask about the cause and effect, but perhaps he felt it was inappropriate, so he did not speak.

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "In that case, I don't have to ask for help."

Ming Zhan then realized that she was asking him to dismiss Xiao Guangjian. He was afraid that he would act on his own at first, but now he was relieved.

Cheng Songan added, "I just wonder if someone has replaced him? It just so happens that someone from the Cui family has also submitted a document to the Patrol Department, and his name is Cui Wenkang."

Ming Zhan was stunned. Her words seemed to mean that he would replace Xiao Guangjian with Cui Wenkang. However, this was just a matter of Cui Yuanqing's words. Why would she go so far as to take care of the near one? It must be to protect Cui Wenkang's reputation. She really loved Cui Yuanqing as the outside world said.

Although he knew that this was a matter between them, Ming Zhan couldn't help but look at "Cui Yuanqing" with eyes full of envy.

But Cui Yuanqing in front of him didn't seem very happy, and his eyes were full of impatience towards him.

Ming Zhan didn't think much about it and said to Cheng Songan, "Madam, don't worry about these trivial matters. I will inform the chief officer of the Patrol Department."

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "Thank you so much, General Ming. If Cui Wenkang makes a mistake in the future, Master Cui will definitely kill his relatives for the sake of justice. If it brings harm to General Ming's reputation, I hope you will forgive me."

Ming Zhan only smiled slightly, and Duan Zhuyu followed up, "Why would my uncle be afraid of getting in trouble? He's so happy that he can't wait."

Situi's face turned cold, and he looked at Duan Zhuyu with eyes as cold as frost. Duan Zhuyu nonchalantly pulled Ming Zhan and left.

Cheng Songan and Ming Zhan were both a little embarrassed, but they just pretended not to understand and said goodbye to each other.

There were only two of them left in the room, and Si Tui asked suddenly, "After the divorce, do you want to choose Lu Qingshan or Ming Xiurong?"
