Cheng Songan hesitated. She grew up in Yizhou and her grandfather never forbade her to play in the market. Therefore, although she did not understand current affairs, she understood the people.

No matter how many policies that benefit the people are promulgated by the three provinces and six ministries, very few of them can actually benefit the people at the grassroots level. She knows best what kind of life the people are living.

Seeing her frown, Cui Yuanqing couldn't help but said, "It's too late today, let's not talk about this. Go to sleep peacefully and wait for me at Yuqiao Villa tomorrow."

Cheng Songan turned his head away and said stubbornly, "I won't go back until my mother is well."

Cui Yuanqing pulled her head back and curled his lips: "If mother-in-law knew that you were willing to go back, her illness would be half cured immediately."

Cheng Songan didn't believe him and asked, "If I leave, what will happen if my mother is murdered again?"

"No!" Cui Yuanqing's face also became more serious. "I have discussed this matter with my father-in-law. I will send Cheng Wanxin away tomorrow."

This was the first time Cui Yuanqing called Cheng Wanxin by her full name. Cheng Songan was not used to it, as such indifference was mostly directed at her in her previous life.

His gentleness and patience towards her recently made her gradually forget his indifference in her previous life, but this sentence made her suddenly wake up. Cui Yuanqing's love was the most unreliable thing. When he loved her, he could give her everything, but when he hated her, he could also make her fall into hell.

Cheng Wanxin in this life is just like her in her previous life.

"Now she doesn't even call me second sister? Do you believe she will harm me and mother?" Cheng Songan asked quietly, "Is it you who likes her, or is it Si Tui who likes her? Or is it Miss Xue Wu? Does my second sister know that you two are not the same person?"

On this day, Situi sometimes pretended to be Cui Yuanqing, and sometimes Cui Yuanqing pretended to be Situi. She was confused about what they were saying and who was speaking for whom and who was speaking for himself.

Cui Yuanqing suddenly laughed and ignored her series of questions. Instead, he asked, "So who did you like, Si Tui or me?"

Cheng Songan rolled her eyes at him and got up to go outside to wash up. In fact, judging from what Si Tui did today, she already had the answer in her mind.

After washing up, she came back and unexpectedly found Cui Yuanqing sleeping against the bed railing. She climbed into the bed, but he was unaware of her. He continued to sleep with a slightly frown on his brows, obviously very tired.

Cheng Songan lay there for a while, but he didn't wake up. He wanted to ask him to lie down, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he couldn't help but touch him gently.

Cui Yuanqing slightly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion, as if to confirm where he was. He lowered his head to look at Cheng Songan lying beside him, then he closed his eyes again with peace of mind, slid from the railing to the bed, and said in a low and confused voice: "I rode a fast horse for seven days and seven nights to rush back."

After saying this, he skillfully held her in his arms, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and slept peacefully for a while.

Just when Cheng Songan was about to fall asleep, he heard him whisper again: "The child is not Si Tui's. Si Tui is a gentleman. Go to sleep and we'll talk tomorrow."

Cheng Songan's heart moved and she wanted to say something, but seeing that he was too sleepy, she didn't say anything. She just hummed lightly and leaned into his arms again. Somehow, this time they met again, her body seemed to be willing to be close to him.

Cui Yuanqing took a deep breath, held her waist, and whispered, "Don't move. If you get angry, neither of us will be able to sleep."

Cheng Songan immediately froze and lay straight, not daring to move.

She had no dreams all night. But in the second half of the night, she vaguely felt the man behind her kissing her neck for a long time, and then he took her hand and touched him all over her body, but she was very sleepy, so she let him do it.

When Cheng Songan woke up, there was no one around her again. She was stunned for a while until Haitang came in quietly to see if she was awake, then she got up and dressed.

Cheng Jinning rushed in from outside, yelling, "Sister, are you leaving today? I won't."

Cheng Songan asked: "Who said I'm leaving?"

Cheng Jinning rushed in, sat down on the couch, and said angrily, "Mother and aunt told you to go back quickly last night, and I heard it."

Cheng Songan was a little surprised: "Mother and aunt asked me to go back quickly?"

Cheng Jinning said angrily, "That's right. They are very happy. Since my sister got married, they have always been looking forward to your return home. Why did they chase you away this time? It must be that my brother-in-law used sweet words and flattering words to coax them."

This is possible. Cui Yuanqing did not go to Jingqiu Zhai yesterday. It turned out that she went to her mother's place. I just don't know what method she used to coax her mother and aunt into happily sending her away at this time.

Cheng Songan complained in her heart, and after putting on her makeup, she brought Cheng Jinning to Feng's yard. As soon as she entered the room, Lin happily hugged her in her arms and led her to Feng's bedside.

After just one night, Feng's pale face from yesterday was gone, and her face was glowing with rosy light. No wonder Lin was so happy.

Cheng Songan couldn't help but say happily, "Master Minghua's medicine is indeed effective. Mother is getting better."

Feng and Lin looked at each other, and the smiles in their eyes almost overflowed.

"Yun Dai, you have lived in the villa for almost two months. It's time for you to go back to Cui Mansion. The old lady loves you so much. Don't disappoint her." Although Feng was giving advice, she could not hide the gentleness in her tone, and there was no trace of her usual irritability.

Cheng Songan was also a little shaken. She could sleep on the same couch with Cui Yuanqing, so she really shouldn't have any grudge against Old Madam Yu anymore. Her kindness to her was not fake.

Cheng Jinning said dissatisfiedly: "Mother is not fully recovered yet, and sister has only been back for one day, why are you leaving now?"

Lin knocked her on the head and said angrily, "Madam, you have me. Your sister...she is not in good health. Wouldn't it be good for her to go back to the Cui Mansion and have someone to take care of her?"

Before Cheng Jining could say anything more, Lin pushed her in front of Feng, who then pulled her aside and said, "Third sister is grown up now, but she doesn't know how to do needlework. Why not let Yun Dai teach her?"

Cheng Jinning leaned over like a candy, hugged her and said coquettishly: "Sister is not feeling well, and we can't take care of her in the next two days. Why don't we go back to Cui Mansion?"

Cheng Songan was so amused by her change of expression that he followed Lin to the outer room to have breakfast.

"You fought and killed yesterday, and the master is still sad. This morning he said he would send the second young lady to Guishan Villa, and told the public that she was mourning for the aunt and the Jin family." Lin said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with the second young lady. The deaths of Shen and Zhu Ying are also strange."

Since Cheng Wanxin had been sent to the other courtyard, Cheng Songan didn't want to let this matter bother them anymore, so he comforted them, "Just keep her in that courtyard forever and cut off her contact with the mansion."

Lin nodded with a smile on her face. She kept stroking her head and face, and her eyes couldn't help but look at her belly.

Cheng Songan was somewhat confused by her look.

Lin hurriedly urged her: "The son-in-law has entered the palace to meet the emperor. Madam told him not to pick you up. You can go home by yourself after dinner."

Cheng Songan had no choice but to be pushed out of the yard after being urged repeatedly. As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he saw Cheng Wanxin in mourning clothes, standing by the moon-shaped door, with only Xiangcheng following behind her.
