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

The one driving was A Quan. Ever since he got lost with Cheng Songan that night, this kid had become extra careful and calm at a young age. As soon as he heard his mistress' instructions, he knew what to do. So their carriage first circled the street, turned onto another less frequently traveled road, and then headed for Baoguo Temple.

The Seventh Princess looked at the scenery along the way. Everything she saw was new to her. The road did not seem long. When they arrived outside a mountain house, A Quan stopped steadily without waiting for a call.

Cheng Songan looked out from the corner of the opened curtain and was startled. The name of this villa was "Cangxin Shanfang". It was not known whether it was the idea of ​​the King of Xiang or Xue Tingrong's intention. Since the Princess of Xiang knew about it, she must have redefined the meaning of these words.

"Hey, why did you stop the car?" Seeing her stunned, the Seventh Princess also stuck her head out and saw the plaque of the other courtyard. She was a little puzzled, "Where is this?"

Cheng Songan sighed softly and replied calmly, "This is the Prince Xiang's villa. Princess, you must be a little tired after the journey. Why don't you go in and rest?"

The Seventh Princess always liked Prince Xiang more than Prince Jin and Prince Shou. When she heard that this was his villa, she looked up happily, then lowered the curtain and said, "Brother Prince Xiang has gone to Jiangnan, and the princess and sister-in-law have been staying at home for the past two days. Wouldn't it be boring for us to come?"

Cheng Songan and Taxue looked at each other. Taxue understood what he meant. He made a "hush" sound at first, then tilted his ear and lay against the car wall, listening carefully.

The Seventh Princess asked curiously, "What are you listening to?"

Taxue's eyes rolled around and he replied, "It's said that Prince Xiang loves to take care of flowers, plants and crops, but I didn't expect that he also likes to raise some small animals."

The Seventh Princess did not understand her hidden meaning and asked her curiously, "What little beast? Is it a cow or a sheep?"

"Neither of them," Taxue listened attentively and clapped his hands, "It sounds like monkeys and parrots. Princess, have you ever seen a monkey show?"

The seventh princess showed a longing look and immediately wanted to get off the car to watch the monkey show. It sounded very interesting.

Cheng Songan said angrily, "I didn't think it through just now. Fortunately, the princess reminded me that the King of Xiang and the Princess are not here, so it would be impolite for us to go in."

"No, no!" The Seventh Princess said anxiously, "Brother Xiang Wang loves me the most. I just went in to see the monkeys. Even if I wanted to take one away to play with, how could he not allow me to do so?"

Cheng Songan then reluctantly followed her out of the car.

When the Seventh Princess got off the car, Taxue immediately went to knock on the door. Without getting any response, he gave the Seventh Princess's order, asking all the servants guarding the yard to come out and gather at the second gate so as not to offend the noble lady.

Cheng Songan accompanied the Seventh Princess all the way to the inner courtyard of the mountain house without any obstruction. When he led people to inquire before heading out on the snow, he had already checked it out and knew that in order to amuse Xue Tingrong, the King of Xiang kept several golden monkeys and parrots sent from southern Yunnan here.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw several cages hanging under the corridor. Inside them were various small rose-breasted parrots and large purple-breasted parrots. Their colors were bright and vivid, very eye-catching. When they saw people coming, they quacked.

The seventh princess was very excited when she saw them. She ran over to look left and right. She liked each one very much. She pouted her lips and teased them, causing a series of hoarse cries. Soon, two golden monkeys were attracted and they poked their heads over to look over here.

Taxue clapped his hands happily: "Princess, look! The golden monkey is coming!"

All the animals the Seventh Princess had seen in the palace were kept in cages; she had never seen any free-range animals. Moreover, the two golden monkeys had round heads, short ears, and a pair of big eyes on their pointed faces. They looked very well-behaved and cute. She exclaimed with joy and felt that the trip was worth it.

Taxue led her to chase them, but the two golden monkeys suddenly saw a stranger and turned around and ran away. The two followed them, and Taxue took the opportunity to check all the rooms in the yard.

Cheng Songan and Qiangwei also entered the upper room and searched the house carefully.

Xue Tingrong was very cautious. If she hid Wan Xin here, she would definitely keep it secret so as to avoid being discovered by Prince Xiang and Cui Yuanqing's people.

Qiangwei checked everything visible in the house and opened all the doors that could be opened, but found nothing, no clues at all. She couldn't help but feel a little impatient and stomped her feet on the ground a few times.

Cheng Songan's mind moved, he held his breath and concentrated, letting Qiangwei stomp again.

Qiangwei understood immediately and stomped on the ground again. The sound was dull, but it seemed different from the real thing. She asked in surprise, "There is a secret passage? But where is the mechanism?"

Cheng Songan's heart beat faster and her hands trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and walked a few steps, imagining what would happen if she were Cheng Wanxin. The next moment she opened her eyes and locked her gaze on the rosewood inlaid flower and bird top box in the bedroom.

"Qianwei, open the cabinet." Her voice trembled a little.

Qiangwei walked into the inner room and opened the closet. Some clothes were neatly placed inside, which was no different from an ordinary top box.

Cheng Songan suppressed his frantic heartbeat, reached out his hand and fumbled inside the cabinet for a while, his fingers stopped when they touched a raised ring, and then he gently pulled it outwards, and the back of the ordinary wardrobe immediately opened like a door.

It was perfect to use the cabinet as the entrance to the secret passage. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she only had to send the servants away, and nothing she did in the room would be discovered.

Qiangwei also became nervous. She helped her into the secret passage and walked slowly underground. The project was not big. There was only a square space of about two meters in size. There was a low couch and a set of tables and chairs, but there was no one there at the moment.

Cheng Songan's frantic heart calmed down and he laughed at himself: "I was deceived by her again. How could she let Wanxin stay here by herself?"
