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

"Yangzhou has mountains and rivers, and is a rich place. My father couldn't bear to see her suffer."

Cheng Songan sneered. No wonder Cui Yuanqing was so furious. It turned out that Cheng Wanxin was getting engaged.

Qiangwei said: "Who says it's not true? This Yangzhou Tongpan is a fellow student of Yizhou Sanye, and his family is the richest."

Cheng Songan sat on the chaise longue by the window, looking unhappy, perhaps because he had just had a serious illness.

Qiangwei stepped forward and said angrily, "Miss, why do you care about her? She hasn't recovered yet. It's useless to worry about her. If she is really lucky, she may not remember your kindness."

Cheng Songan smiled slightly. Her maids saw things more clearly than she did. However, in her previous life, she was obsessed with the harmony between her sisters. Whenever the maids advised her against it, she would scold them instead.

Hearing what Qiangwei said, he pulled her hand and said, "I don't care about her. If I wasn't afraid of delaying my third sister, I wouldn't have asked mother to take care of all this."

Qiangwei was a little surprised that the young lady seemed to be more willing to listen to them than before. She felt relieved and said, "That's right. It's right to take good care of your body."

Cheng Songan nodded in agreement and asked casually, "Who is working between us and our mother?"

Qiangwei replied, "It's the son of Madam Wang, the lady's chambermaid, Li Wenbin."

Cheng Songan thought about it and had some impression. After his mother passed away in his previous life, the maids and servants were slowly taken out of the Cheng Mansion by Lin. Some were sent to the farm, some were assigned to do hard labor, and some were directly sold. Mother Wang was sent to water the vegetable garden. One day, she was so tired that she fell into the pond and drowned.

Li Wenbin lost his father when he was young and was raised by his mother Wang alone. When his mother Wang died, he had escaped from slavery and got a job in the military camp with his martial arts skills. He was finally able to take his mother away, but ended up with the situation that his parents were no longer around to support him.

Both his parents had died, and his life was drifting. He never got married. No one knew whose army he served in, where he went, or what happened to him in the end.

Cheng Songan rubbed his brows, thought for a moment and said, "Tell my mother to release him from his bond."

This arrangement was so random that Qiangwei was quite surprised. "This kid has no real skills except for his brute force. If we release him, Mother Wang will be so worried."

Cheng Songan said, "Release your indenture and work for me. I will transfer one tael of silver from my personal account every month to him as a stipend."

Qiangwei was even more surprised: "We also have a servant as our dowry, why do we have to bring Li Wenbin? Although he is steady, he is only fifteen. Besides, his salary has always been two taels. If you give him one tael, he won't feel resentful. How can he be at ease to work for you?"

Cheng Songan looked at her deeply.

After she fell ill in her previous life, the servants in the Cui mansion who had long coveted her maids as dowry began to bribe the mothers-in-law in the courtyard to instigate Zhang to make the decision and marry off all her maids.

Because of her original engagement, Yulan left home early and followed her man to another place; Haitang swore that she would never marry, and if forced, she would crash into the gate of Cui's house and die. This is how she escaped.

Poor Rose and Peony, they were both young and had parents and brothers at home, so they were forced to get married by using both soft and hard tactics. Within two years, one of them was abused to death by her in-laws, and the other was sold by a gambler and disappeared.

In this life, Cheng Songan can no longer allow others to abuse her maids. If they plan to get married, she will personally screen them and find someone reliable. The most important thing is that they have been her slaves for two lifetimes, and she can no longer find a slave to marry them at will.

Li Wenbin is only fifteen years old, but he is mature and steady in his work and doesn't talk much. He has only one mother, Wang, in his family, who is the kindest person. If he can ensure their safety in this life, then he is someone worthy of trust.

Cheng Songan said calmly, "Some people are older and may not be as capable as him in doing things. You have known him for a few years, right? What do you think of him?"

Qiangwei sneered and laughed: "He, even if you poke him with three awls, he can't make a fart. How can I know what he is like?"

Cheng Songan choked and said, "Then you should give him some advice in the future."

Qiangwei didn't care and agreed.

Cheng Songan added: "It is better to do it today than to wait for a better day. Let him come to see me today. I have something to arrange for him to do."

Qiangwei advised: "Miss, if you have any urgent matters, please tell me and I will ask him to do it. You can just take a good rest."

Cheng Songan shook his head: "I'm afraid someone doesn't want my second sister to get married smoothly. This matter must be arranged by me personally."

Qiangwei shuddered. No matter how much she disliked Cheng Wanxin, she didn't want outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the Cheng family. If the second young lady's marriage was disrupted, the entire Cheng family would be in trouble.

She immediately said, "Miss, just wait patiently. I will call him over to give you a reply."

After saying that, he asked Mudan to come in and take over the service, and then he left quickly.

When Li Wenbin arrived at Yunxiang Pavilion, Cheng Songan was wearing an autumn-colored narrow-sleeved silver-collared short jacket, a light red satin pleat underneath, a long tasseled palace belt with a bow tied around her waist, and a pair of gold-embroidered deerskin boots. She was sitting leisurely on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, without any makeup on, but she was clean and elegant, and even more beautiful than when she was still married.

He only took a glance, then stood there with his head down and said, "Meet the young lady."

Cheng Songan glanced at him. He was tall and straight, standing there like a poplar tree. His skin was slightly dark, but his features were delicate.

She nodded slightly and said, "Qiangwei told you everything, right?"

Li Wenbin replied calmly, "Thank you very much, Miss."

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "The master and mistress in our mansion are all very kind. Not to mention a family-born child, even if they were bought from outside, they would not easily leave. I released your indenture and reduced your salary by half, and you still thank me?"

Li Wenbin looked calm, "A man should have ambitions. If he is content to be a slave, he has lived his life in vain. I have already made plans. When I have saved enough money to redeem myself, I will ask for my resignation from my wife and start a career outside. Today, the young lady has favored me and freed me from slavery. I should come to thank her."

Cheng Songan nodded and praised: "I was not wrong about you!"

Li Wenbin still kept his head down, unperturbed by fame or disgrace.

Cheng Songan asked, "Has father confirmed the second young lady's marriage?"

Li Wenbin replied: "It is most likely the Jin family."

Cheng Songan: "Then there is still a little uncertainty. Please go to Yangzhou for me."

Li Wenbin replied without hesitation: "Yes."

After sending Li Wenbin away, Mudan stuck out her tongue with a smile: "This guy has a dark face and is intimidating, but the girl is not afraid of him."

Haitang and Qiangwei also laughed for a while, but when the wind suddenly started to blow, they remembered that Cheng Songan was still sick, so they urged her to go back to her room and sit down.

Cheng Songan kicked the deerskin boots on his feet and said to them, "If I'm not going out, why would I wear this?"

Haitang frowned and said, "Nonsense, the girl is still sick, what are you doing going out?"

Cheng Songan blinked and said, "Let's have some wine."
