After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her
Chapter 20 Conditioning the body
After returning to the Cui Mansion, Cheng Songan first went to Chunhui Garden to meet Old Madam Yu.
As soon as she entered the door, Old Madam Yu came forward to greet her, pulled her to sit on the chaise longue, called her sweetheart, and after she sat down, she glanced outside the door and her face darkened again.
"Where's Yuan'er? Why didn't he come back with you?" The old lady snorted like a child, "I just told you yesterday, but today he didn't come back with you. You didn't take my words to heart at all."
Looking at the unhappy old lady, Cheng Songan also understood that no matter how much she loved him, he couldn't join her in criticizing her only grandson in front of her at this time.
Cheng Songan hugged her arm and coaxed her, "My husband stayed with me at Cheng's house for two days and never left. On the way back, he suddenly had an errand at the government office, so he had to leave. Grandmother, don't blame him. Your granddaughter-in-law will apologize to you on his behalf."
As she said this, she pretended to stand up, which made the old lady both angry and amused. She pinched her cheek and said, "Zhenzhener is a very good and clever talker, while Yuaner is like a gourd without a mouth. It is his blessing to marry you."
Cheng Songan thought to himself, whether it was a blessing or a curse, only he knew it.
After staying in Chunhui Garden for a while, Old Madam Yu ordered dinner to be served. Cheng Songan was worried about Princess Xiang and was in no mood, so he said, "Grandma, please give me dinner. Dai'er shouldn't refuse. But I haven't greeted my mother-in-law in two days since I came back. Why don't you come and have dinner with me tomorrow?"
Mrs. Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right, you should go greet your mother-in-law first, then go back and have a good rest. You don't have to get up early tomorrow, just come back for lunch."
Cheng Song'an took his leave and went to Cixian Hall. He first said the same words to Cui Yuanqing as he did to Old Madam Yu, then spoke some polite words about returning home, and then hurried back to Yunxiang Pavilion.
After returning to the room, Mudan and other maids immediately prepared dinner for her. Since Cui Yuanqing was not at home, she asked someone to bring a small stool to Haitang, so that she could sit below her and eat with her.
Qiangwei took out the Shu embroidery that she had put away last time as she instructed. Cheng Songan ate while discussing with Haitang about meeting Hong Luo tomorrow.
When they were about to finish eating, Cui Yuanqing unexpectedly came back. As soon as he entered the room, he exuded a cold aura, making the already chilly autumn night seem even colder.
Cheng Songan glanced at him and ignored him. He just ordered someone to take the dining table away and took Haitang to take a bath.
The remaining maids fell silent immediately, and no one dared to offend this cold and aloof new son-in-law.
Sibian behind Cui Yuanqing wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he walked to the Shu embroidery with a smile and asked Mudan, "Oh, this embroidery is extraordinary, is it your sister's work?"
Mudan shook her head and pointed inside, meaning that it was embroidered by her young lady.
Sibian had been with Cui Yuanqing for a long time and was not afraid of his bad face, so he asked, "Such fine material, and it's my favorite indigo color. Are you going to make new clothes for me?"
Cui Yuanqing glanced at the Shu embroidery casually, then shifted his gaze indifferently.
Mudan whispered cautiously, "Maybe. The girl asked me to take it out as soon as she came back, but she hasn't said what to do with it yet."
Si Bian smiled and said to Cui Yuanqing: "My Lord, please at least give me a smile. A person like the young lady is probably the Weaver Girl from heaven."
Cui Yuanqing glanced at him coldly. She was the Weaver Girl, so he was the Cowherd who hid the Weaver Girl's clothes in the Tibetan family?
Sibian felt his whole body getting colder. He knew he had said something wrong, so he stuck out his tongue and closed his mouth.
Cui Yuanqing said, "Get lost."
Si Bian finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that he was willing to talk to him meant that the problem was not serious. He smiled and said yes, then ran away.
Naturally, Mudan had no intention of changing her mind and could not guess Cui Yuanqing's thoughts. Without his instructions, she just kept her head down and did not move.
Cui Yuanqing looked at the piece of Shu embroidery without any concealment. It had a very common four-sided Ruyi cloud pattern, but the craftsmanship was so extraordinary that he had never seen it before. The color was his favorite indigo blue, which suited his temperament very well. It must have been made for him to wear without a doubt.
On the one hand, he said that he did not want true love and wanted a divorce, and on the other hand, he complained to his grandmother and asked her to search the whole capital for him. However, after he came back, she ignored him and even pretended to make clothes for him.
Such a despicable tactic of playing hard to get is unacceptable for someone of her status!
Cui Yuanqing thought about the time when he went to Chunhui Garden just now. The old lady pointed at him and scolded him: "Tell me yourself, how many young men from good families don't rest in their bridal chambers for four or five days after their wedding? Do you want Yun Dai to become a joke in the whole capital? Or do you want to piss me off to death?"
"The Cui family has few descendants. Our branch has only one heir for three generations. If your family line is extinct, I wonder if you will have the face to face your grandfather and ancestors in the underworld!"
After scolding him, the old lady drove him to Cixian Hall. Zhang did not scold him as harshly as her grandmother did, but she was even more troublesome in crying and saying that he was unfilial and that she did not want her to have a grandson.
……
Cui Yuanqing snorted coldly. What if they shared a bed in the same room? They had slept together once at Cheng's house, and nothing happened. The more she pushed him, the more he would not touch her. Let's see what tricks she could use!
After Cheng Songan came out, Cui Yuanqing didn't even look at him, but ordered fresh water to be prepared so that he could take a bath instead.
Mudan and Qiangwei then breathed a sigh of relief and came up to twist Cheng Songan's hair. Before it was dry, they saw Xiuhe, the head maid of Cixiantang, coming over with a food box.
Haitang hurriedly went to meet her and asked, "Sister Xiuhe came in person. Our girl just had dinner, why did the Madam send her food again?"
Xiu He replied, "It's not for grandma, it's a recipe for medicinal food that the old lady got, and the madam prepared it herself. She asked me to bring it to the master and told him to make sure he eats it."
This was what Old Lady Yu had instructed before Cheng Songan returned home. She didn't care. The Cui family had only one son for three generations, so maybe the man really was in poor health and needed some treatment.
She asked Haitang to take it and put it on the table, saying, "It's so late, thank you for coming all the way here. Please tell my wife how hard she's worked for me."
Xiuhe took a deep look in the direction of the bathroom, seeming a little worried.
Cheng Songan thought she hadn't finished her job, and said, "When the master finishes his bath, I'll serve him a drink. You can go back first."
Xiuhe nodded with a smile and left.
When Cheng Songan's hair was almost dry, Cui Yuanqing also came out of the shower. Maybe because of the moisture, he was no longer as cold as when he first came back. His hair was a little wet, and he was wearing a fitted moon-white nightgown, which even made him look a little warm.
It’s just that the collar of his pajamas was a little wide, and his protruding Adam’s apple and straight collarbone could be clearly seen.
Cheng Songan took a look and his face turned red. He quickly shifted his gaze and calmly pushed the medicinal food in the food box onto the table in front of him.
Cui Yuanqing asked coldly: "What?"
Cheng Songan replied unhappily, "Grandmother ordered this, and mother personally prepared this medicinal food to nourish your body."
Cui Yuanqing's face immediately turned cold again: "No need!"
Cheng Songan didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he just said, "Then you go talk to your mother yourself."
Cui Yuanqing said to the maids on duty, "Pour it out."
The maid didn't dare to move.
Cheng Songan snorted coldly: "If they dare to fall, they will be kicked out of the house by mother tomorrow."
Cui Yuanqing knew that what she said was right, but he still refused to drink. He glared at her and said, "You caused this trouble, so you have to figure it out yourself."
After saying that, he walked towards the bed in the inner room without looking back.
Cheng Songan curled his lips. He really didn't know what was good for him. He was not even happy about having his body treated.
In his previous life, he did not pay enough attention to taking care of his body, which led to his tragic end of being ill for a long time and dying. Thinking of this, Cheng Songan decided to replenish himself.
She picked up the bowl and tasted it. It tasted surprisingly good, so she happily drank most of it.
After drinking it, he walked to the bed with satisfaction, ignoring Cui Yuanqing who was already lying down, and stepped over him.
Cui Yuanqing closed his eyes and pretended not to see it. Having experienced sleeping on the same bed in Chenglan Pavilion of Cheng Mansion yesterday, the two of them got along peacefully.
I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly felt something was wrong. The person next to me was getting closer and closer to me, and this little body was surprisingly hot.
Cui Yuanqing immediately opened his eyes wide and pushed Cheng Songan aside: "Cheng Songan, what do you want to do?"
In the moonlight, he saw Cheng Songan's clothes were half-undressed, his face was abnormally flushed, and his eyes were wet and almost dripping with tears.
With just one glance, Cui Yuanqing's body reacted uncontrollably and he immediately turned around and didn't look at her.
Cheng Songan almost cried, "It's so hot."
