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

"Speaking of entanglement, Miss Cheng, don't forget that you still have to repay me."

After Cui Yuanqing finished speaking, he still stood there with his arms crossed, waiting for her answer.

Cheng Songan gnashed his teeth and said, "Didn't I repay you?"

"Didn't I tell you that how to repay you is not up to you." Cui Yuanqing seemed to be waiting for her to say this. He answered almost immediately and then walked straight into the small door.

Cheng Songan walked quickly to the door and shouted inside: "Cui Yuanqing, come out and explain yourself clearly!"

Cui Yuanqing did not stop walking, and said from a distance, "This door is not closed. If you haven't finished speaking, come in anytime."

Cheng Songan paused, turned around and left. She would never enter his door, as that would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

After returning to the mountain retreat, Cheng Songan had dinner and talked to a few maids about things in the palace. Luo Luonu had been separated from her for a day, and since she came back, he had been sticking to her feet.

It was late, and after washing up, she hugged Luo Luonu and sat in a daze under the lamp, thinking about what Lu Qingshan said before he left. He clearly meant that what he was going to do would go against Cui Yuanqing and might very well put Cui Yuanqing at a disadvantage.

Cheng Songan was not worried about Cui Yuanqing. She knew that Cui Yuanqing was on the right path, and if Lu Qingshan wanted to confront him, he would most likely side with King Jin.

Although Prince Jin has a reputation for being virtuous, it is only to win people's hearts and is not truly virtuous. In his previous life, Prince Jin had always been competing with Prince Shou, and there were few times when he was the only one in power. Although he was a member of the Queen's party, he was not of high birth and was not as favored as Prince Shou, so he had to pretend to be virtuous to attract people.

Winning over people's hearts and recruiting people is not something that can be done with words, it requires real money, and Prince Jin and Zhao Huaisong have allowed their subordinates to amass wealth recklessly. If such a person ascends to the throne, he may not necessarily work for the country and the people.

Lu Qingshan was good at commanding troops and was brave in battle, but he was not good at judging people. He chose Prince Jin most likely because of his personal grudge with Cui Yuanqing.

Cheng Song'an had seen Cui Yuanqing's methods. Zhao Huaisong secretly annexed land and amassed huge wealth, but on the surface he was still a well-known wise prime minister, with disciples spread across the two capitals and twelve ministries. In his previous life, when this saint was still in power, Cui Yuanqing kicked him out of the cabinet, and it took only one year to disintegrate all his power. In the end, he confiscated his property, beheaded his two adult sons, and sent all the rest of the men into exile, but he spared Zhao Huaisong's life. At the age of 70, he was forced to beg for a living in the countryside, and no doctor was allowed to diagnose him. This was much more painful for Zhao Huaisong, who had experienced the pinnacle of power, than killing him directly.

If Lu Qingshan is determined to confront Cui Yuanqing, he may not be his opponent, so he has to persuade Lu Qingshan to leave Beijing as soon as possible and stay away from the fight for the throne.

After thinking of several ways but still not finding the right one, Cheng Songan got on the bed anxiously, scratching Luo Luonu's head from time to time with his hands. The little thing snored comfortably, but after a while, the snoring stopped.

Luo Luonu pricked up his ears to listen, then excitedly broke free from Cheng Songan's arms, jumped off the bed, and ran out limping.

Several people outside were still busy with their own things, some were reading, some were playing chess, and some were doing embroidery, so the door was not closed. Luo Luonu ran straight out the door. When Taxue saw him, he quickly put down the "Mencius" in his hand and chased after him.

After being out for a while, she returned with Luo Luo Nu in her arms, holding a few dried fish in her hands. While feeding them, she said to everyone, "It's late. Stop embroidering. Be careful not to hurt your eyes. The young lady has to get up early to go to the palace tomorrow. Go to bed. I'll be on duty tonight."

Mudan clapped her hands and shouted, "I just happened to have eaten too much today and I have a stomachache. It would be best if you could take over the night watch for me."

Haitang and Qiangwei did not suspect anything. They packed up their things, closed the doors and windows, and returned to their rooms.

Cheng Songan thought about Lu Qingshan for a while, and then thought about Haitang. He didn't pay attention to what they said outside, so he didn't notice that they were not in the upper room until the doors and windows were closed. He asked from inside: "Luo Luonu is naughty again, never mind, let him make a fuss for a while, and ask Haitang to come in and sleep with me tonight."

Seeing no one answer, Cheng Songan asked again in surprise: "Mudan? Are you outside?"

Still no answer.

The window creaked open, and a tall figure jumped in, hiding behind the curtain. Cheng Songan was startled, and quickly jumped off the bed, pulled out the sword that he often practiced hanging on the wall, and asked in a deep voice: "Who? You are so brave!"

The shadow came out from behind the curtain at an incredibly fast speed and tried to grab her sword.

Cheng Songan was prepared. He dodged sideways nimbly, pointed the tip of his sword at the man's back, and sneered, "You're looking for death!"

Since moving to Fisherman and Woodcutter Villa, she has been eating, drinking, and playing, playing Cuju and practicing sword. Li Wenbin is not an expert, but his martial arts skills are much better than those of ordinary security guards. He is more than capable of teaching her, and ordinary petty thieves are no match for her.

The man chuckled. I didn't see clearly how he turned around and attacked. He was already behind Cheng Songan. He put his arms around her from behind and covered her sword-holding hand: "Xiao Yundai, you can now hold the sword tightly in your hand."

This sentence brought Cheng Songan back to more than ten years ago, when Brother Sansi was in the mountains, holding her hand in the same way and telling her: "The first step in sword training is to start by holding the sword tightly in your hand."

Last time, when Cui Yuanqing snatched her sword with bare hands, she felt that she had disappointed him. But at this moment, the person who taught her and the person who hurt her overlapped, and she was more inclined to think that he was Brother Sansi.

The familiar scent of soapberry surrounded her, and Cheng Songan even forgot to push him away.

Cui Yuanqing held her and the sword on his lap, sat on the bed, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in her ear: "Now, let's talk about repaying you."

Cheng Songan's ears felt numb and her body felt slightly hot. She immediately stood up from his legs. Cui Yuanqing was prepared and grabbed her waist and pushed her down again.

"Cui Yuanqing, don't mess around. I would rather die than be humiliated!" Cheng Songan grabbed the sword in his hand and threatened.

Cui Yuanqing was not provoked. He stroked her lips with his fingers and looked at her face with impure eyes. Her face was a little red due to nervousness. Her face was white and rosy, like a ripe peach.

His Adam's apple rolled heavily, his lips touched her ear gently, and his hot breath fell on her neck. Cheng Songan felt numb all over. She was most afraid of others touching her ears, and it was obvious that this guy knew this very well.

The next moment, the sword in his hand was snatched away by Cui Yuanqing and thrown to the ground.

"Don't you want a child? Your maid has gone to great lengths to make you have a child." Cui Yuanqing's voice was hoarse, and the hand on her waist became even hotter.

Cheng Songan forced himself to remain calm: "If I want a child, I can find a handsome young man."
