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

The bridal sedan was carried all the way from Cheng's house to Cui's house. Cheng Songan was carried like a puppet through the marriage procedures and finally sat in the bridal chamber when dark.

She gently lifted the red veil and glanced around the room. There was no one except Mudan and Haitang. Matchmaker and the other maids and servants had all gone to the outer room.

It was still Yunxiang Pavilion, with the familiar layout and furnishings, but it seemed like a lifetime ago.

When Haitang saw the young lady lift her veil, she quickly came over to cover her head and said, "Stop it, it's embarrassing for others to see."

As they were talking, the door was pushed open. Haitang and Mudan hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir."

Cui Yuanqing nodded lightly, walked in front of Cheng Songan, and did not take the next step. A pair of official boots inlaid with emerald jade fell into her eyes.

Seeing that he was standing still, Haitang brought the Ruyi scale and whispered, "Sir, it's time to pick out the wedding veil."

Cui Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, did not take it, and just pulled down the veil. Just like in the previous life, he was still angry and even unwilling to use the title of honor.

What caught Cheng Songan's eyes was a man with an upright posture and a handsome face. He had a sense of dignity. Even if he went back to ten years ago, he still had the bearing of looking down on the world.

Cheng Songan lowered her head after just one glance. She was afraid that if she stared at him any longer, the resentment in her eyes would be revealed.

Cui Yuanqing saw her lower her head and said indistinctly, "I'm going to the front hall to deal with the guests. I'm afraid I'll get drunk..."

"Go ahead. If you're drunk, just rest in the study and let the boys serve you." Cheng Songan interrupted him and spoke first, his gentle voice saying words that didn't match his temperament.

Cui Yuanqing was stunned. This was indeed what he wanted to say, but she said it first, which made him feel uncomfortable, as if she was deliberately trying to drive him away.

His strange emotions only lasted for a moment, and then he returned to his calm demeanor, nodded and said, "Well, you take a rest first, I'm leaving."

Cheng Songan also said calmly: "Go ahead."

It seems a little impatient.

Cui Yuanqing took a step forward, and finally couldn't help but look back at her. Cheng Songan's eyes were already fixed on the snacks on the table, and she was not at all moved by his departure.

Rumor has it that she was elegant and reserved, and that she admired him. After they got engaged, she would send appropriate gifts to the elders in the mansion during festivals, including gifts for her fiancé, but he just threw them into the warehouse.

Now it seems that she does not match the rumors.

Cui Yuanqing paused. There were guests outside that he still had to deal with. Moreover, there was a woman in the inner courtyard of the Cheng family who would cry tonight and he had to take care of her.

After he left, Haitang was a little surprised and said angrily, "Miss, you are always so prudent, why are you so weird today? At least you should restrain yourself just now. How can you, the daughter of a noble family, drive your husband away on your wedding night and only stare at the food? "

Cheng Songan had four maids as a dowry, namely Haitang, Mudan, Qiangwei and Yulan, with Haitang as the leader. The four of them grew up with her and were taught by aristocratic families. Not only did they have to serve the young lady, but they also had to give advice from time to time.

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "I'm really hungry."

Haitang:......

Mudan tactfully served her some snacks to fill her stomach.

Haitang said, "I know that the young lady feels that the son-in-law has never paid attention to you before marriage, and he just lifted the veil in a rather cold manner, so she is afraid that he is dissatisfied with you. But in my opinion, what he said just now about being drunk was just an assumption. Why did the young lady take the initiative to let him go to the study? How can you sleep in separate rooms on your wedding night? If it gets out..."

Cheng Songan interrupted her nonchalantly, "If you're worried about it getting out, you can teach the maids that your mother-in-law has sent over some manners tomorrow. You don't have to be as gentle as in our house."

Haitang was a little confused and wanted to ask again, but Cheng Songan had already started eating. After eating, he ordered another cup of tea, and only when his stomach was full did he feel happy.

Being dignified and serious won't fill your stomach, and being a role model will only restrict yourself and make you unhappy. Since she has a new life, eating, drinking and having fun to make herself happy is her first priority, and dealing with that couple is the second priority.

Cheng Songan twisted the tassels on the bed curtain with his long fingers and raised his eyebrows at them: "Send a message to mother now, and ask her to strengthen the patrol in the inner courtyard tonight. If there is any unusual movement, immediately send someone to check the room, especially the second sister's room! But one thing is for sure, the person who goes there must be a servant who has signed a death contract."

Haitang was startled: "What do you mean, young lady?"

Cheng Songan nodded: "If something scandalous happens, only our own people know about it and it cannot be spread outside."

Haitang was shocked when she heard this. She used to always remind her young lady that the second young lady in the family, Cheng Wanxin, was not as simple as she seemed. But her young lady never listened and always defended her. Every time the wife of an aristocratic official sent a letter, she would let the second young lady go.

The second young lady always acted like a person who was not interested in worldly affairs and was as calm as a chrysanthemum, winning the favor of all the young ladies and ladies from aristocratic families. They thought she was good in every way and was just born in the aunt's womb. Otherwise, she would be qualified to marry the son of the prime minister. As a result, she made friends with many young men from aristocratic families, including Cui Yuanqing, who had a conversation with her at a flower-viewing banquet.

The eldest lady never believed this.

Haitang felt that Cheng Songan was too kind, always considering others and never thinking about her own gains and losses. When she heard that Cheng Songan suddenly became wary of the Second Miss, she immediately perked up and said happily, "I'll do it right away!"

After saying that, he immediately went out to deliver the message to the Cheng family.

Mudan was the only one left in the room. Cheng Songan finally couldn't hold on any longer, so she took off her hairpins and went to sleep.

The next day, just after dawn, Mudan and Qiangwei came in and woke her up. On the first day of their wedding, they should go to the front to pay their respects to the old lady. Cheng Songan let them dress and wash up, and she heard some noise outside in a daze.

Cheng Songan asked, "Is Haitang teaching his subordinates a lesson?"

Mudan's fair face flushed with anger: "That's right, you unruly girl!"

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Qiangwei was a little embarrassed: "Don't go, girl. There's no need to be angry with the little girl."

Cheng Songan wouldn't do that. She had experienced it in her previous life. It was nothing more than a few little maids sent by her mother-in-law Zhang gossiping, and what they said was quite explicit.

At first, Haitang was so angry that she wanted to teach them a lesson, but Cheng Songan stopped her, not wanting to leave a reputation of being mean and domineering on the day after the wedding, and also afraid of hurting her mother-in-law's face. As a result, these girls looked down on her more and more, and often went to Zhang to complain, so that when she fell ill, Zhang asked her son to move out of Yunxiang Pavilion.

Seeing these faces again today, Cheng Songan felt that he had been too tolerant at the time. Seeing that Haitang only lectured him a few times, he smiled and said, "Haitang, you have been back in Beijing for a few years. How come you have calmed down from your temper in Yizhou?"

When Haitang heard the word Yizhou, she immediately became angry. When she was there with the young lady, she was free and unrestrained.

Then she raised her right hand and slapped the girls repeatedly, causing their faces to become red and swollen. There was a rule in the Cui Mansion that in order to show that the master was compassionate to the servants, no traces would be left in a conspicuous place even if they were punished. Haitang's move was equivalent to telling everyone that the new mistress had punished the people sent by the madam.

After beating him, Haitang felt a little regretful and looked at Cheng Songan as if he had done something wrong.

Cheng Songan smiled and praised, "Sure enough, you still have the same demeanor as I did back then. Come in and choose the gifts for my mother-in-law and grandmother."

Mother Li, who came with the dowry, had already been waiting at the door with people carrying three square boxes. Inside the boxes were the gifts that a new bride should give to her elders on the wedding day. Haitang took out three pieces of Shu brocade from the dowry box.

She held the two horses in front of Madam Li with pride and reluctance, saying, "The one with the cloud pattern is for Madam, and the one with the lotus pattern is for the old lady."

There was still one piece left with a four-sided Ruyi cloud pattern, and he took it to Cheng Songan and asked, "Did you show this piece to your son-in-law to him, or did you cut clothes for him first?"

Cheng Songan looked at the three pieces of exquisite Shu embroidery and smiled at her: "Don't give these away, put them in the warehouse."

Haitang almost thought she had heard it wrong: "Not sending it off?"

Cheng Songan nodded with certainty: "No need to see me off."

Shu brocade is rare and valuable. It takes ten embroiderers in Shu three months to make one piece. Cheng Songan embroidered all three pieces by herself.

As the daughter of a cabinet scholar, she was not only dignified and serious, but also the best at knitting and needlework in the capital.

In the Daqian Dynasty, it was customary for a bride to give her embroidery to her elders the next day to show her achievements. Cheng Songan started embroidering after getting engaged, and it took her three years to finish the three pieces.

However, after she gave it to her mother-in-law who came from a prominent family in her previous life, she only praised it politely and was not moved by her hard work. But the old lady really liked it and gave her a pair of green jade lions in return.

What is even more disheartening is that after Cui Yuanqing was given the piece of material with four-sided cloud pattern to make clothes, he only wore it once and never picked it up again.

No matter how much effort she puts in, if others get it too easily, they are destined not to cherish it. In this life, she doesn't want to waste her efforts in vain.

Cheng Songan pointed to the dowry boxes and said, "For the old lady, keep it as usual. For the mistress, just take a broken round fan."
