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

Princess Xiang arrived silently. According to her status and regulations, she should have sent someone to the villa half an hour before her arrival to inform Cheng Songan to prepare and welcome the guest outside the villa.

But at this time, there was only one maid, Hong Luo, by her side. The rest should have been outside the mountain residence and did not come in, otherwise they would have heard the movements of the group.

Cheng Wanxin had never had a face-to-face contact with the Princess of Xiang. She was full of schemes and was good at disguise, but after all, she was young and often stayed in seclusion. Facing the Princess of Xiang who could give her advice on the road to power, she was naturally weaker in momentum. What's more, she had a guilty conscience. When she saw the Princess of Xiang suddenly appear, she couldn't help but step back.

"No... Wanxin didn't expect the princess to come. I was a little surprised, not scared." Cheng Wanxin subconsciously held her waist and put one hand on her stomach. She didn't dare to look up and spoke in a low voice, "The princess is approachable, why would I be scared?"

Princess Xiang laughed, but her eyes were cold as she laughed: "That's good, I thought Aunt Xin had done something wrong."

"Greetings to the princess." Cheng Songan came forward, bowed and saluted, saying in panic, "Why didn't you ask someone to come and report in advance? I could have brought people to the outside of the manor to welcome you. Isn't it rude to let the distinguished guest come in by herself? These girls didn't even bother to report it, they really deserve to be beaten!"

As he said this, there was no trace of self-blame or panic on his face.

Princess Xiang took Cheng Songan's hand and walked into the room, saying with a smile, "I came here today on a whim, wanting to see what you do on weekdays, so I didn't ask anyone to report. Who knew I came at such an unfortunate time and happened to run into the three of you fighting in the ring."

As he said this, he glanced at Cui Yuanqing meaningfully, then glanced at Cheng Wanxin who was lowering her head and not daring to look him in the face, and sneered.

Cui Yuanqing finally understood what Cheng Songan meant by what he said. If Princess Xiang recalled what she said, she would understand that the King of Xiang happened to be out on those days. As a leisurely prince who was intoxicated with the countryside, he never made friends with foreign officials and did not often attend social events, so it was not difficult to remember the days he was out.

Especially that day in the mountain villa outside Baoguo Temple, Princess Xiang ran into them coming down the mountain one after another. It was not Cui Yuanqing who used the king of Xiang as an excuse, but the king of Xiang used Cui Yuanqing as a cover.

Cui Yuanqing's attitude towards Cheng Wanxin just now directly denied that he had a private relationship with Cheng Wanxin. Cheng Songan was clearly exposing Cheng Wanxin in front of Princess Xiang, wanting to hand her over directly to Princess Xiang for handling, and confirm what happened in the villa outside Baoguo Temple that day, killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Prince Xiang now has to move out of the dark and into the light. If a rift develops between him and his wife at this time, it will be difficult for them to move forward on this path in the future.

Princess Xiang was the daughter of a general, and she was more courageous than the king. She was the one who pushed for the king to take this path, and she made arrangements for him both internally and externally, so that he would have no worries. Including the years of dormancy and accumulation of strength, all of which were due to Princess Xiang. Her ambition was not to stay in the inner house, but to go higher.

But the premise for her to do all this is that the husband she supports must share honor and disgrace with her and respect each other. She is not jealous, nor is she obsessed with petty love, so there is no shortage of women in her house. She even personally arranges concubines and maids for him.

However, the appearance of Cheng Wanxin means that not only does her husband have an emotional rift with her, but her power as the future master of the harem will also be threatened. If Cheng Wanxin gives birth to a son, she may have to make plans for her son.

Therefore, Cheng Wanxin was exposed at this time, which was just right. Princess Xiang could still be in the upper hand and let the king of Xiang give her an attitude. Or she could handle it and then see the king of Xiang's attitude.

No matter what, it is impossible for Princess Xiang to let go of Cheng Wanxin.

"The princess has arrived at the perfect time." Cheng Songan welcomed her to the main seat and sat down beside her.

Cui Yuanqing stood aside and just nodded slightly, without revealing too much of his emotions and attitude. The only thing he could do at this time was to find out the real thoughts of Princess Xiang.

Cheng Wanxin seemed to have found her backbone, and quickly snuggled up behind him, reaching out to hold his arm.

Cui Yuanqing subconsciously wanted to shake her off, but when he met Princess Xiang's direct gaze, he forced himself to hold back and let her hold him, but he moved his body a little further away from her.

Cheng Songan smiled and continued to say to Princess Xiang: "I heard that Prince Xiang was sent out of the city. Why don't you stay at my farm for a few days? I have some rare plants growing here."

Princess Xiang asked back without commenting, "Your villa is so small, with two courtyards in total, how can I live there?"

"There is room for you," Cheng Songan said repeatedly, "Lord Cui and Wanxin live together, so please condescend to live with me."

Cui Yuanqing's eyes suddenly changed and he looked straight at Cheng Songan, but the latter ignored him.

Princess Xiang sneered. She had always been respectful to Cui Yuanqing, but this time she looked at him with a bit of hostility. However, that emotion was fleeting, and she said to Cheng Songan as if nothing had happened: "Why condescend to me? I have always treated you as a member of our Ming family. Unfortunately..."

She was not lying about feeling sorry. Princess Xiang was more insightful than most people. Men could have three wives and four concubines, but women had to go through many twists and turns even in divorce. A smart and beautiful woman like Cheng Songan, whose family background was also well matched, could not hide her advantages even if she was married for the second time. The Ming family did not care about this, but the emperor's intentions were unpredictable. She had underestimated the emperor's heart.

"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, there's nothing to do at home. It's boring." Princess Xiang said to Hong Luo, "Send someone to tell the mansion that I'm staying at Miss Cheng's place tonight."

Cheng Songan also concealed the sadness he had just felt for Ming Zhan, clapped his hands and said, "Haitang, the princess will stay with me tonight, and Lord Cui and Wanxin will stay at Linbo Pavilion. You ask someone to clean up that room."

Cui Yuanqing took a deep breath. His fever had not completely subsided, and his cheekbones were still red like apples. He suppressed his emotions and said to Cheng Songan, "I can't stay at Linboxuan. Come here. I have something to tell you."

Cheng Songan did not move. With Princess Xiang here, he did not dare to come over and pull her. He remained seated and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. The Princess is not an outsider."

Cui Yuanqing clenched his jaw. It was no accident that Princess Xiang came here. She deliberately wanted to put him and Cheng Wanxin together today. However, when Prince Xiang left the city, Princess Xiang did not bring it up. He could not speak directly unless it was absolutely necessary.

After a long while, he said to Cheng Wanxin: "You go to Linboxuan first, I have something else to do."

Cheng Wanxin also needed to leave here to think of a solution, so she agreed immediately.

Cheng Songan called Cui Yuanqing and said, "Master Cui, the saint forbids you to leave the manor. I know you are still ill. Don't worry. I have arranged for a doctor. You don't have to worry about it."

There is no way to replace Si Tui.
