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

Cheng Songan looked up, somewhat puzzled. Why was Situi the same as Cui Yuanqing, speaking in sarcastic and sour tones?

"What's it got to do with you?" Ever since he pulled her hand and touched her face, Cheng Songan had completely let go of the regrets of these years and spoke much colder.

Situi sat down beside the bed, reached out his hand and gently scratched the little cat's head. Seeing that it always lay on Cheng Songan's lower abdomen, he could not help but push it to the side, but the little cat was quite smart and still kept its head there, refusing to leave.

Cheng Songan brushed his hand away and said angrily, "You are not allowed to touch it."

Si Tui was not angry, and asked again: "What do you want to say to Lu Qingshan?"

Cheng Songan pursed his lips, thinking that now was not the time to be angry, he should still put the people first. Lu Qingshan was a foreign general who came to Beijing. He did not have as much power as Cui Yuanqing in Beijing, nor was he as favored by the emperor as him, so he might not be able to resolve the matter properly.

"You just said that most of the refugees are disaster victims," ​​she asked tentatively, "but there is no disaster right now, so how can there be disaster victims?"

Si Tui patiently explained to her: "It is already winter. At this time of year in previous years, the capital city would have at least had a heavy snowfall. So what do you think of the weather now?"

Cheng Songan suddenly realized that auspicious snow means a good harvest. Heavy snow covering the wheat fields can protect against cold and insects. When the snow melts next year, it can also prevent drought. However, this winter is not very cold, without even a light snow. Next year's harvest will definitely be affected.

She then asked, “If drought strikes again, is there a way to ensure that the victims do not become victims of the disaster?”

Si Tui did not answer, but stared into her eyes and asked: "Why do you care about these?"

Cheng Songan had already thought of an excuse, and replied calmly: "The Cheng and Cui families are both noble families, and most of their income comes from the farm. If there is a disaster, there will be hundreds of people in the house waiting to eat. It is always a good idea to prepare for a rainy day."

Si Tui hummed, not knowing whether he believed it or not, and said calmly: "No need to worry."

Cheng Songan then asked, "I heard that if there is drought in the north, there may be floods in the south. Can you tell Cui Yuanqing to check whether the embankment is built firmly next year to prevent it from being washed away?"

Fearing that he would not take it seriously, he added, "It is common for officials who build dams and dikes to embezzle and use inferior materials instead of good ones, but it has not been discovered."

Si Tui stared at her with interest, his eyebrows twitching slightly: "Then I'll take you with me, wouldn't it be more direct if you tell him in person?"

Cheng Songan immediately refused: "I won't go. If you want to take someone, take my second sister."

Si Tui snorted coldly, seeming very dissatisfied with her mentioning Cheng Wanxin.

Cheng Songan didn't care and asked again: "Is your child okay?"

Si Tui's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "She and I don't have any children."

Cheng Songan frowned in confusion and asked, "Whose child is that? Cui Yuanqing's?"

Si Tui's expression became even uglier, and he said angrily, "What nonsense!"

"How dare you be mean to me?" Cheng Songan was confused by his reaction. "Whose is it? It's not you, nor Cui Yuanqing, so who is it? Why are you going to such great lengths for her?"

Si Tui walked around the room in a daze for a while, and when his depression dissipated a little, he said, "Don't worry about it these days. It's not good for your health. Someone will take care of her problems. You don't have to worry about it."

Cheng Songan snorted coldly: "Why bother? Why should I bother worrying about her? I didn't kill her because I promised Master Minghua, not because I'm afraid of you."

The little cat in her arms seemed to sense her emotions. It meowed, stretched its neck and rubbed against her chin to comfort her.

Cheng Songan couldn't help but lower his head and kissed it on the forehead, and continued: "I don't know whether you and Cui Yuanqing were deceived or deliberately turned a blind eye. I can only say that you are both blind. Cheng Wanxin is no longer my innocent and lovely second sister. Her methods are more vicious than you can imagine."

Si Tui did not refute, which surprised Cheng Songan.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cheng Songan naturally didn't bother to argue with him, and continued to play with his cat, holding it against his cheek and kissing it affectionately several times.

Si Tui watched her movements silently, the warmth in his heart almost overflowing from his chest. If the child was born safely, next year there would be two little ones on the bed to play with her.

He moved his lips: "Will you come back home with me tonight?"

Cheng Songan was startled and shook his head, "No, I have to stay with my mother until she recovers."

Si Tui: "You need to take care of yourself, so go back. I will send you back the day after tomorrow."

Cheng Songan glanced at him and said, "Even if I go back, I will go back to Yuqiao Villa. You can go back to the mansion. It's better for the two of us not to be alone together."

Si Tui smiled: "Are you afraid that he will misunderstand?"

The implication is that he is afraid that Cui Yuanqing will misunderstand.

Cheng Songan said as if he had just heard a joke: "Why should I be afraid of him? I'm afraid that my second sister will misunderstand me and do something vicious again. How many lives can she kill?"

Si Tui frowned, but did not refute, and said: "I will send her out of Cheng Mansion as soon as possible."

Cheng Songan was totally surprised and asked in disbelief, "You sent her out of the Cheng Mansion? Where did you send her to?"

Si Tui hesitated for a moment and said, "Somewhere farther away from you."

Cheng Songan was stunned for a moment. She could perhaps understand Cui Yuanqing's change in attitude, but why did Situi change like this?

When I wanted to ask, the person had already turned around and walked out.

Not long after, there was another burst of noisy chatter outside. Lu Qingshan came in with his ears blocked, followed by Cheng Jining, who looked unconvinced.

After entering the house, Cheng Jinning smiled and said to Cheng Songan, "Is sister okay? Where did brother-in-law go? Second sister even asked why you and brother-in-law didn't go to see her."

Cheng Songan was quite surprised: "He didn't go to Jingqiuzhai?"

Cheng Jining looked confused: "No, he went to see his mother, and then went to see his father."

Cheng Songan couldn't calm down for a long time, and Si Tui also seemed strange. He just went out to see his father and mother, and then came back. So what is he doing now?

She forced a smile and asked, "How is my second sister?"

Lu Qingshan looked at her with complicated eyes, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

When this matter was mentioned, Cheng Jinning became angry again: "My second sister was sick, why didn't you let me in, but stayed outside? Did you see that something happened to the Jin family and wanted to marry my second sister?"
