After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her
Chapter 255 Compensate Him
Cheng Songan slept for a whole day and night. When she woke up with a clear mind, it was already early the next morning.
Haitang stayed by her side and helped her dress. As she did so, she sighed, "The adults are the same. They knew you were injured, but they still tortured you like this."
Cheng Songan lowered his head, too embarrassed to look her in the eye, but glanced outside intentionally or unintentionally.
Her action did not escape Haitang's eyes, and she suppressed her laughter and said, "The master has gone to the palace and has not returned yet."
"Enter the palace?" Cheng Songan became nervous. "Is it because Zhao Lin was killed? Why didn't you wake me up?"
She got out of bed, her legs still sore and painful, and she almost fell.
Haitang quickly pulled her back and said, "Zhao Lin was killed by the Rongdi people."
Cheng Songan was stunned for a moment, then she felt relieved. As long as she left some clues for Cui Yuanqing, he would know what to do.
Haitang finished tidying up her clothes and was about to go out.
Cheng Songan stopped her: "Haitang, will you blame me?"
Haitang was a little confused and didn't understand what she meant.
Cheng Songan leaned his head in her arms. She couldn't explain to her that in her previous life, because of Cui Yuanqing's indifference, she suffered from depression for ten years, and Haitang also suffered without words. In the end, she was left alone in this world. She couldn't imagine how Haitang spent the rest of her life in her previous life.
But in this life, Cheng Songan is entangled with Cui Yuanqing again.
"Are you afraid that I will laugh at you for liking an adult again?" Haitang smiled softly, "Are you silly? I am really happy that our girl can decide for herself who she likes and who she doesn't like. It's not like the first few years when you just pretended to be virtuous and catered to the rules of this capital."
Cheng Songan reached out and hugged her, rubbing against her chest again.
Haitang thought that she was frightened these past two days, so she clung to her even more. She didn't care. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Are Xuanwu and the other four your people? I heard from Qiangwei that it doesn't seem like it. They don't seem to be under your control."
Cheng Songan frowned slightly. These four people were sent from the Cheng family. Her father was a Grand Secretary and did not participate in party struggles, so he never had any requirements for the martial arts of the servants and guards. She had guessed that they were recommended by Cui Yuanqing and sent by her father, but fortunately they were useful, so she didn't care.
Since they were not under Cui Yuanqing's control, then it really had nothing to do with Cui Yuanqing? Could it be that my father had become more cautious since he was assassinated outside the city?
"The night before, after the girl was found, Xuanwu led his men to kill all of Zhao Lin's men and chopped off Xiao Guangjian's other hand." Haitang felt horrified just by listening to Qiangwei's retelling. She sighed, "After killing people, he just nodded to the adults. When the adults instructed him to do something in the courtyard yesterday, they were quite respectful. I wonder who he is."
Cheng Songan suddenly recalled the expression of Wang Changsheng, the chief of the Patrol Department, when he saw Xuanwu. They knew each other! Who was Xuanwu? Why was he willing to be the bodyguard of an ordinary woman like him?
Just as I was wondering, Taxue came in with Old Mrs. Yu.
"Grandma!" Cheng Songan was delighted to see that she was safe and sound, and ran over to throw himself into her arms.
Old Madam Yu's eyes were sore and she almost shed tears, but she held back her tears and said coldly, "You are no longer my granddaughter-in-law. What does my life or death have to do with you?"
Cheng Songan knew that the reason why she was angry was because she was afraid that something really happened to him, so he pressed her down on the couch and nestled in her arms like a rogue in the past, pretending to be pitiful: "Grandma said that even if I'm not the granddaughter-in-law of the Cui family, she would still treat me as her own granddaughter and even prepare a dowry for me. It turns out that she was just trying to coax me."
Old Madam Yu had no choice but to punch her hard on the back, shedding tears and said, "How can I fall to my death? Do you want me to go up the mountain alone in the rain?"
Cheng Songan let out an exaggerated "hiss~" sound. Old Madam Yu thought that she had been hit on her wound, so she rubbed it and asked, "Is there a wound here too? Does it hurt?"
Cheng Songan's nose also felt sore. If she had been able to prevent her from falling in her previous life, her ten years would not have been so hard. Her grandmother would always treat her well and protect her.
"I'm teasing my grandmother," Cheng Songan straightened up and asked seriously, "This adventure is not in vain. What is the current political situation like?"
Old Madam Yu's expression eased a little, and she slowly told her, "When your maid Qiangwei brought people to Cangxin Mountain Villa to look for you, I knew something must have happened to you. Sure enough, not long after, Zhao Lin's people came to the villa with your pearl flower for tea. I guessed it was your idea. He wanted to use you and me to threaten Yuan'er."
Wu Fei brought many experts with him at that time, and searched for the secret passage from the Cangxin Mountain House. As expected, they saw that a brick was missing from it. They immediately sent people back to report to Zhao Huaisong. Zhao Huaisong was a shrewd man, and he would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. After getting the evidence, he did not easily reveal the Rongdi people.
Old Lady Yu kept silent and let him finish what he was supposed to do. She also cooperated with Cui Yuanqing in allowing him to meet him without any soldiers. He then used the despicable trick of using the love potion, but in front of Cui Yuanqing, he was the one who was knocked unconscious.
When Cui Yuanqing found the courtyard, Zhao Lin was dead and Cheng Songan was missing. He happened to run into people sent by Zhao Huaisong and Prince Jin. He ignored his well-planned plan and just went crazy to find her.
Later, Xuanwu led his men back and found the Rongdi people. He only kept one alive and detained him secretly. He then set up a trap with the rest and Zhao Lin's corpse, pointing the finger at King Jin.
The Seventh Princess also helped in this matter by accident. The people she sent over to deal with Xue Tingrong were tried by Wang Changsheng according to the punishment for traitors. In the end, those people had to be forced to admit that they framed Prince Xiang in order to sabotage his efforts to clean up corruption in Jiangnan.
Collaboration with the enemy and rebellion were both blamed on a previously idle prince who was appointed to the position in times of crisis. Even ordinary people could see that there was an ulterior motive behind this.
Cui Yuanqing is the teacher of Prince Xiang, but he also pleads for Prince Shou. It is obvious that Prince Shou and Prince Xiang are one, and the goal is not to bring down Prince Xiang, but to strike at Prince Shou's power.
The prince used all means to seize the throne. The saint had experienced this before and didn't care much about it, but he should never have used the Rongdi people. Prince Jin committed a big taboo.
After hearing this, Cheng Songan felt relieved. Things were going more smoothly than she expected. Prince Jin had been suspected by the saint earlier than in his previous life, and now things were going to go downhill even further.
"What about Fourth Grandma..." Cheng Songan mentioned it hesitantly.
Old Madam Yu interrupted her with a sullen face: "She raised such a son. The Cui family's ancestors did not blame her because of you. You don't have to feel sorry for her."
Cheng Songan nodded. It was not a pity for a man like Cui Wenkang to die, but he was still the son of Fourth Grandma, the brother of Cui Wenxin, the husband of Zhou, and the father of the two children.
Old Madam Yu saw her lowering her eyes in thought and knew what she was thinking. She added, "I'll take care of her and her daughters from now on. You don't have to worry about them."
"But you, when will you forgive Yuan'er? Grandma is looking forward to your return home every day."
Cheng Songan felt a little confused again. Although the Cui family was not a nightmare for her, it brought back too many bad memories and she didn't want to go back.
She hugged Old Lady Yu and said sullenly, "I won't go back. I won't be your granddaughter-in-law. Isn't it good to be your granddaughter? This time... well, I am willing to give him some compensation."
"What compensation?" Cui Yuanqing's face looked a little ugly and aggrieved.
