"I won't take a concubine, and I won't divorce my wife and remarry!" Cui Yuanqing interrupted her, "You are the only one in my life."

Cheng Songan raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "It's not up to you. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two eunuchs who announced the imperial edict followed you all the way here just to prevent you from telling me anything and only ask me those two weird questions. The saint must want to be a matchmaker for you, and this person's status is somewhat noble, so she can't be a concubine - I guess, she wants to be your co-wife."

Cui Yuanqing raised her eyelids and snorted softly. She was always smart, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to answer the eunuch's questions immediately. But she was too smart. She seized this opportunity to seek peace in danger, and she was still so eager to leave him.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Cheng Songan speculated on his own that he was famous in the capital for his talent and beauty, a new celebrity in the eyes of the sage, and a minister that several kings were vying to win over. There were countless girls of marriageable age in the capital who were lovesick for him.

But I have never heard of a family that can have the face of the saint to personally act as a matchmaker. In the previous life, there was a Duan Zhuyu who used the relationship between the Prince Xiang's Mansion and the Empress Liu in the palace to marry Cui Yuanqing as a co-wife, but Cheng Songan knew that she had recognized the wrong person, and she liked Si Tui. But in this life, Duan Zhuyu can tell the difference, so it is afraid that the one who will marry in this time will not be her. Moreover, even if it is Duan Zhuyu, she only asked Empress Liu, not the saint to personally guarantee it.

"Cui Yuanqing, you really are a magnet for all kinds of people." Cheng Songan thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and the person involved refused to talk about it, so she mocked him in a sarcastic tone.

Unexpectedly, Cui Yuanqing suddenly asked: "Are you jealous?"

Chengzhan An was speechless and rolled his eyes. "If the two questions from His Majesty today get out, I will become the most jealous woman in the capital in a few days. Who wouldn't say that I drank a few jars of vinegar for you, Master Cui? Do you think this falls within the seven grounds for divorce? Can you divorce me..."

Before she could finish her words, Cui Yuanqing stretched out his long arm, pulled her into his arms, and covered her mouth.

It was another airtight kiss, which made Cheng Songan feel a little breathless. He bit his lips hard before he felt free.

Cui Yuanqing wiped the blood from his mouth carelessly, and just curled the corners of his lips: "Chengsong'an, you are very smart. You know that the two traitors came to prevent me from talking to you, but have you ever thought that if I want to tell you something in advance, I always have my way. I don't say it, just want to hear your thoughts. It turns out that you are still so eager to divorce me."

Cheng Songan was shocked. He didn't expect him to be so despicable.

Cui Yuanqing placed his hands on the armrests of the armchair, encircling her in the middle, and kept lowering his head to get closer to her, forcing her to shrink into the innermost part of the chair. With no room for retreat, he laughed and said, "Don't even think about leaving me!"

After that, Cui Yuanqing never came to Yuqiao Mountain Villa again, and it was said that she never returned to Cui Mansion. No one knew what she was busy with. Since the saint asked her a question that day, there was no response, and there was no news of the noble lady waiting to get married.

After the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the officials in the court ended their New Year holiday and started attending court again, and life became just like before the New Year.

At noon that day, Cheng Songan had just woken up from a nap and was holding Luo Luonu while listening to Li Wenbin talking about the news of the past few days.

Cheng Yanping went to Lord Zhao's residence and easily tricked Zhao Lin out, and Situi also took little effort to escape to the home of the brother-in-law of one of Prince Jin's concubines.

This concubine was very much favored by Prince Jin, and her brother was very good at taking advantage of others. Zhao Lin, a dandy boy, could not stand the provocation and teasing, so he chased him to his house and broke in without knowing the truth. The two of them fought until they were bloody, and they did not figure out how the feud started, but instead caused a sensation in the capital.

Prince Jin and Zhao Huaisong did not get angry. Instead, they each gave their confidants and sons a lesson, apologized to each other, and drank and talked happily again, continuing their relationship.

After listening to this, Cheng Songan nodded lightly. She had never thought that just a small misunderstanding could cause two people with vested interests to completely break up, but as long as this rift exists, cracks will appear between them sooner or later.

Li Wenbin returned the jade pendant to her and said, "Miss, this jade pendant is exactly the same as the one that Si Tui has."

Cheng Songan was shocked. Wasn't that Si Tui's doing? Wasn't that the string that tied the jade pendant to his neck also Si Tui's? If it wasn't him, then it could only be Cui Yuanqing!

When he cut off Zhao Lin's tongue, they had only been married for a few days. It was the time when he hated himself the most and kept saying that she was mean.

Cheng Songan's heart was slightly touched. It seemed that Cui Yuanqing's attention to her appeared earlier than he said.

After Li Wenbin left, she took out the necklace, tied it to the jade pendant, leaned against the window and lost in thought, her heart was filled with confusion. That person couldn't possibly be Cui Yuanqing!

Just when I was feeling annoyed, I suddenly heard Cheng Wanxin sending someone over. It was a strange little girl named Dingxiang, whom I had never seen before. She must have been sent by King Xiang.

Ding Xiang was quite smart. After greeting Cheng Songan, she spoke clearly, "Our young lady greets the eldest young lady. Thank you for fulfilling your promise that day. This child will be given to you to raise in the future. Please rest assured, eldest young lady."

Cheng Songan's brows gradually furrowed. Cheng Wanxin? The person the saint wanted to protect was actually Cheng Wanxin!

But what's strange is why Cheng Wanxin felt that it was she who helped her?

Suppressing the shock in her heart, she asked, "When will your young lady enter the mansion?"

Ding Xiang replied, "In a few months, she will be in labor. After the baby is born, the young lady should enter the mansion."

What was supposed to happen in the previous life finally happened, but it happened nearly ten years earlier. In fact, she also contributed to this. If she hadn't changed some things after her rebirth, it wouldn't have happened so quickly.

The stone that weighed on her heart seemed to have been removed, but Cheng Songan did not feel relieved. She held the jade pendant and nodded gently: "Tell your young lady that you don't have to come here to see me."

Ding Xiang hesitated: "But..."

"Get lost!" Cui Yuanqing appeared at the door quietly and asked coldly, "I warned her, including herself, not to come here."

Ding Xiang was obviously afraid of him. She shrank back, nodded, and quickly retreated.

"You will be husband and wife in the future, why do you speak in that tone?" Cheng Songan said.

Cui Yuanqing's eyes fell on her smiling face, and he was surprisingly calm: "I have a rule when doing things, think twice before acting. Thinking three times means thinking about change, thinking about danger, and thinking about retreat."

"Cheng Songan, do you remember?"

Cheng Songan clenched the jade pendant in his hand and shook his head.

Cui Yuanqing's eyes gradually dimmed, and he finally said, "Since this is what you want, I will grant you your wish."
