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

Mrs. Lu had heard the news and went to the second gate to pick her up. When she saw her appearance, she burst into tears: "My son, what kind of suffering have you endured?"

Cheng Songan felt a little embarrassed. She had always paid attention to her appearance. Even when she was a child, no matter how crazy and wild she played, she would never go to someone else's house in such a mess. What's more, she was an adult now. Standing in the Lu family with mud and blood on her hands and mud on her clothes felt rude.

She put the seedlings in her hands behind her back awkwardly and whispered, "Aunt, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Madam Lu hugged her shoulders and walked into the house, saying as she walked, "Still calling me aunt? Were the previous etiquettes all fake?"

Cheng Songan pursed his lips and spoke again with some embarrassment: "Stepmother."

Madam Lu said with some annoyance: "Now that we have crossed the Minglu, you and Qingshan are siblings, so just call me mother."

Lu Qingshan was a little displeased: "Mother forgot. We haven't performed the ceremony yet, so it doesn't count."

Madam Lu punched him on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile, "You are not so polite in other matters. For example, you left the government office early recently, but never came home early. I don't know where you go to have fun."

"Forget it, go to the study to see your father and then come back."

An unnatural expression flashed across Lu Qingshan's face, and he glanced at Cheng Songan, as if asking for her opinion, or as if to see her reaction.

"You kid," Mrs. Lu said impatiently, "what happened today?"

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "Okay, mother will take Yun Dai back to your yard first, and I will come after I see father."

Cheng Songan had planned to take Cui Wenxin to see Su Zhi and then go back, so she didn't bring the girl with her. How could she have expected so many twists and turns? Now she was with Lu's mother, whom she hadn't been with for a long time, and she was like this again. She felt very uncomfortable.

But Lu Qingshan just brought her into the Lu Mansion, and she could only follow him into the courtyard like a puppet.

Along the way, Mrs. Lu told her about the old days in Yizhou, and how she and Lu Qingshan fought and quarreled with each other. Cheng Songan was immersed in those beautiful memories, but she always felt something awkward in the warmth.

After entering the inner courtyard, Madam Lu asked someone to bring hot water and helped Cheng Song'an wash her hands and face. However, the Lu family had no daughter, and Madam Lu's size was very different from hers, so it was not appropriate to ask her to wear a maid's clothes. So she could only dust off the dust on her body, and then sent the maids and old women away, leaving the two of them to talk in the room.

Mrs. Lu sat on the couch by the window and asked Cheng Songan to sit down as well.

Cheng Songan thought that the seat opposite her was in the east, which was the main seat and should belong to Mr. Lu. She definitely could not sit there. However, there were still stains on her body, so she could not sit close to her. So she pulled up her embroidery stool and sat below her.

Madam Lu said with a smile, "Yun Dai is too cautious. Why are we still arguing about this? I used to treat you as my daughter, and now you have a status. Why are you still arguing with me about these empty formalities? Come and sit with me."

Cheng Songan's heart was slightly moved. This was the second time since she entered the house that Madam Lu emphasized that they were mother and daughter. She nodded unconsciously: "Yes, then Yun Dai will respectfully obey your command."

As she spoke, she stood up from her embroidered squatting position, walked over to Madam Lu, and sat down beside her along the edge of the couch.

Madam Lu held her hand and sighed, "After giving birth to these sons, I only hoped for a daughter, but in the end, it turned out to be your ninth brother, a jerk who has been naughty since he was a child and is now useless."

"Who would have thought that he is now the most promising one among the brothers? Who would have thought that this evil child could win the third place in the imperial examination? Alas, I don't expect him to be a nobleman, I just want him to be a stable official in Beijing for the rest of his life and stay by my side."

"Now that I have a daughter like you, I have fulfilled my lifelong dream."

Cheng Songan gently stroked her broken nail and listened to her quietly. She probably understood why she wanted to come here today - she didn't want Lu Qingshan to have any romantic feelings for her.

Among the nine sons of the Lu family, five were born to Madam Lu, two died before adulthood, two were of mediocre talent, and three were sons of concubines, who were also of average appearance. Only Lu Qingshan had the strengths of all the Lu brothers but none of their weaknesses. He did not need to do anything deliberately, as the aura around him was more dazzling than that of his brothers.

This late-born son is the apple of the Lu couple's eye, and also the hope of the Lu family.

Therefore, Mrs. Lu had considered Lu Qingshan's marriage. If Cheng Songan had not married Cui Yuanqing, her first choice of daughter-in-law might be this child. After all, she had grown up in front of her, her appearance and personality were pleasing to her, and her family background was also suitable. But Cheng Zhongwen fell in love with Cui Yuanqing, and soon after he brought Cheng Songan back to Beijing, he immediately arranged the marriage, which made her quite regretful.

But now, Cheng Songan is married for the second time, and her ex-husband is a favorite of the emperor. If they get married, how can the Lu, Cui and Cheng families meet each other openly in the future?

The most important thing is, how many rumors will spread in the capital? ——The wife Lu Qingshan married is the woman Cui Yuanqing no longer wants!

The emperor did say that it was Miss Cheng who divorced Cui Yuanqing, but in this world, how could a woman divorce her husband at will? It was just a joke made by the emperor to save the dignity of Grand Secretary Cheng. If the people spread it, it might not be true.

Madam Lu likes Cheng Songan, but her love is not as good as her own son, and she cannot let her most promising youngest son be tarnished. She didn't care in the past because Cheng Songan was married, but now she is free, and Lu Qingshan dared to compete with General Ming in front of the emperor, so she can no longer let it go.

Hearing her calm down, Cheng Songan smiled and said, "Yun Dai has been away from her parents since she was young and lived in Yizhou. She has long regarded her mother as her own mother. Now she has finally got what she wanted."

"Ninth brother has wanted to recover the five towns in the northern border since he was a child. He has great ambitions. Mother doesn't need to worry too much. In my opinion, you should worry about his marriage. Ninth brother is not young anymore, so he should find a partner as soon as possible. I wonder if mother has found someone she likes?"

Mrs. Lu felt a little dry in her throat. The wild girl who was carefree when she was young had learned to read people's expressions. She immediately understood what she meant, but he still considered her so appropriately. She shook her head and said nothing more.

"Then I will pay more attention to Ninth Brother on behalf of my mother." Cheng Songan smiled and paused, then said, "You have been out for too long today. The maids in the villa may be very anxious now. Yun Dai will not wait for Ninth Brother to come back. Let's go back home first."

Mrs. Lu did not want to keep her any longer, as she feared any further talk would hurt their relationship, so she ordered two maids to take her to the second gate and get her into a carriage.

The driver brought out from the villa was a boy in his teens. When the car left the main city, it was already completely dark. He was a little scared. He walked to a place with almost no lights and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, the lights are out."

No one answered in the car. The child was startled and lifted the curtain to look. Cheng Songan covered his head, huddled in a corner of the car, and trembled all over.
