Cheng Songan was so shocked at this moment that he could not be more shocked. Xue Tingyun was not dead. Instead, he met Cheng Wanxin accidentally. He asked her to deliver the painting to Cui Yuanqing and wrote such a farewell poem.

So where is she now? Why doesn't she want to see them? Is it because they didn't rescue her back then?

Cui Yuanqing lowered his eyes, feeling somewhat guilty: "I did protect Cheng Wanxin because of Tingyun. Tingyun refused to see us, so maybe we could meet her. I have been waiting for her to contact her again so that we can see her again. I have failed Si Tui too much..."

No wonder Situi was so nervous about Cheng Wanxin, she was his hope to see Xue Tingyun again.

"But why do you have to tell me after you come back from Jiangnan? What's the difficulty in telling me now?" Cheng Songan didn't understand.

Cui Yuanqing seemed to be lamenting the helplessness of fate: "My original plan was to let Cheng Wanxin really marry into the Jin family."

Cheng Songan thought he had heard it wrong: "What?"

"I think it may not be a bad thing for her to marry in Yangzhou. When she gets married and everything is settled, it will be the best time to tell you clearly." Cui Yuanqing explained, "On the day of my grandmother's birthday, I discussed this with her in the courtyard, and she agreed."

Cheng Songan recalled that night, the two of them were beside the rockery, Cheng Wanxin was like a withered lotus in the wind, pitiful and touching, they were actually discussing this matter? And Cheng Wanxin actually agreed?

Absolutely impossible! All the past events after marriage, like pictures, kept appearing in front of her eyes. She hadn't figured out other doubts for the time being, but there was no doubt that Cheng Wanxin liked Cui Yuanqing, otherwise everything she did would make no sense.

Half a year before their marriage, she began to use lip balm to damage her body; on the wedding night, she let Cui Yuanqing sneak into the mansion to see her; at the banquet at Prince Xiang's mansion, she drugged Cui Yuanqing; and deliberately let her misunderstand that Cui Yuanqing was the father of the child...

Cheng Songan had suspected it before. With Cui Yuanqing's shrewdness, how could he be drugged so easily? It's not like he was fooled by others without knowing it. Now he understood that it was just because he was too concerned.

So to speak, Cheng Wanxin made the right bet in her previous life. Nothing she did was discovered by Cui Yuanqing, and Cui Yuanqing also developed feelings for her. Even though she was pregnant with someone else's child, they eventually got married.

Whose child is Yong Ge'er? Cheng Songan remembered Cui Yuanqing saying that it was not Si Tui's.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Who is the father of this child?"

Cui Yuanqing hesitated to speak, but finally decided to speak out.

They were interrupted by a noise outside the yard.

Haitang came in and replied, "Miss, the young master of the Lu family is here."

Cui Yuanqing's face suddenly turned ugly. Before he could say anything, Lu Qingshan came in from outside and said to Sibian who was trying to stop him from behind: "Get lost! Even though I'm an outsider, I still want to enter your inner courtyard!"

Si Bian followed behind with a look of grievance on his face and secretly glanced at Cui Yuanqing. The latter raised his hand, signaling him not to care, and Si Bian hurriedly retreated.

Lu Qingshan snorted coldly. When his eyes fell on Cheng Songan, the anger in his eyes turned into heartache. He stood in front of the bed, looking at her pale face, and asked, "Why did you have to come back in the first place?"

Cheng Songan laughed bitterly at himself: "So this is how I ended up! It can be considered a punishment."

Cui Yuanqing frowned, clasped his hands on the table, and the hand that hit the wall was scratched and the skin was abnormally red and swollen.

Lu Qingshan said coldly: "Have someone pack your things, I will take you back to Yuqiao Villa."

Cheng Songan shook her head. She hadn't gotten an answer yet. "I'll go back tomorrow. There are still some things I haven't clarified today."

Lu Qingshan's face turned pale, and he tightly grasped the railing beside her bed, almost breaking it with such force. He held his breath and said patiently: "What else is there to say? I have prepared a carriage outside. I will not be at ease if you stay in Cui Mansion for one more day."

Cui Yuanqing raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Her body is not suitable for exposure to the wind. I will send her off tomorrow if the weather is fine."

"Asshole! Now you know that she is not fit to see the wind?" Lu Qingshan heard his voice and punched Cui Yuanqing in the face without hesitation. "Is this how you take care of her?"

Cui Yuanqing's face tilted to one side after being hit by his punch, but he did not look embarrassed. He just turned his head, raised his eyes and said to him: "You hit me for her, I deserve it, I won't fight back, now, you can go."

Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows, grabbed his collar and raised his fist again.

Haitang came in to serve tea, and when she saw this, she was so frightened that the cups and plates in her hands fell to the ground. Without bothering to clean them up, she rushed behind Lu Qingshan and grabbed his sleeve, "Master Jiu, you must not do this!"

Lu Qingshan turned around and saw that it was Haitang. He was still angry: "Haitang, you stopped me? You were so aggressive back then, why are you as cowardly as Cheng Songan now?"

Cheng Songan said anxiously: "Lu Qingshan, shut up!"

Looking at Haitang again, she did not feel humiliated, but looked desolate, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. She said helplessly: "Then Master Jiu, tell me, what should I do? Draw a sword to kill the master and make the Cui family miserable? Then what? How should the girl deal with it? How can she gain a foothold in the Cui family in the future, and how can she return to the Cheng family? The decree of the saint has been issued, do you want her to be unable to raise her head in front of the palace in the future?"

A series of questions left Lu Qingshan speechless.

Cheng Songan suddenly remembered the scene she saw when she fainted. Haitang had endured it until she died, and then she could no longer bear it and rushed into Cui Yuanqing's study, shouting that she wanted to kill him. She had nothing to fear anymore.

In these two lives, Haitang's weakness has always been herself. She has simply been enduring it for her own sake.

Cheng Songan choked up a little and said to Lu Qingshan, "Don't hit me anymore. I'm going to Yuqiao Villa today."

Haitang choked up, cleaned up the cups and plates on the ground, and called Qiangwei, Mudan and Taxue to prepare things for her to take to the villa.

Cui Yuanqing lowered her eyes, unable to read his emotions, and simply said, "Minister Lu, I hope you know that even if she goes to the ends of the earth, she will still be my Cui Yuanqing's wife."

Lu Qingshan clenched his fists tightly, and couldn't help but want to punch him in the face again.

Cheng Songan stopped him, "Lu Xiaojiu, don't do it. From now on, he and I are just in name only. We just need to be well on our own."

Lu Qingshan punched the air with his fist and said angrily, "If he wants to be safe, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "Love brings up worries, love brings up fears. If you are free from love, you will have no worries or fears. Lu Xiaojiu, love brings up hatred. I will not even hate him from now on. Why do you have to hate him for me?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yuanqing raised his eyes, which had been lowered, and looked at her again.
