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

After Cheng Song'an went through this, Concubine Rong, Concubine Liu and the Queen all sent gifts through the Seventh Princess. At this time, even the neutral faction, who had no sensitive sense of smell, could see that the Queen's party had begun to show weakness, and Prince Jin was temporarily at a disadvantage to Prince Shou.

Needless to say, Cui Yuanqing must be the most popular minister close to the emperor, but he was imprisoned in Yuqiao Villa because of his previous crimes, and those who were afraid of the consequences could not bother him.

"You planned it all along and hid here with me. How shameless!" Cheng Songan rolled his eyes at Cui Yuanqing.

In the courtyard of the mountain residence, the grape vines have already climbed around the trellis and are growing well. She would sit here for half a day every day to relax.

Cui Yuanqing was sitting opposite her, slowly making tea for her. He smiled when he heard her words: "I don't even want a name anymore, why are you still scolding me?"

That day, Cui Yuanqing said that she wanted a name and status as compensation, but Cheng Songan told him not to think about it, so he really gave up. That night, he climbed into her bed again and sighed, "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. I will follow you even if I have no name or status."

Cheng Songan tried to drive him away several times, but he stuck to her like a dog-skin plaster, following her every step.

Haitang had to take care of the baby together with the wet nurse, and Qiangwei didn't dare to contradict Cui Yuanqing. Only the brave Taxue, contrary to her usual behavior, did not stand on her side. Instead, she was happy to see the result: Cui Yuanqing, who came to the door, was just a way for the girl to entertain herself, and it would be a shame to refuse him.

Cheng Songan pinched his brows and asked, "Prince Shou has already regained his title, why hasn't the Saint pardoned your sins?"

"You want to chase me away?" Cui Yuanqing curled his lips, "It's easier to invite a god than to send him away."

Cheng Songan: …

"If you don't go back to the Cui Mansion, Xue Tingrong will not let Wanxin go. She thinks you are more important than her own flesh and blood."

Cui Yuanqing laid back on the bamboo chair with his head resting on his hands, looking relaxed and elegant, but his words were somewhat shameless: "Are you jealous?"

Cheng Songan: …

"One more thing. If you return to Cui Mansion, I won't have to follow the imperial order to watch over you, and I can go to Jiangnan."

Cui Yuanqing was touched, and asked, "Have you thought it through? Do you want to go to Jiangnan with me?"

Cheng Songan had never known in his entire life that he could be such a rogue. He couldn't help but glance at him and told him about the bricks and stones in the secret room in Zangxin Mountain House and the letter from Master Minghua.

She had thought about it over and over again in the past two days and concluded that it was not Wanxin who was in Jiangnan, but Xue Tingyun. If it was really Wanxin who left the message on the brick, then Xue Tingrong would not be so kind as to inform her in advance that she would be sent to Jiangnan. Then the most likely possibility was that Wanxin accidentally learned that Xue Tingyun was in Jiangnan, so when she was transferred out of the secret room, she hurriedly left a clue.

Cheng Songan just couldn't understand, if Xue Tingyun really hated her so much, why didn't she come to kill her in person, and didn't appear in front of Si Tui and Cui Yuanqing in person? If she was not the mastermind behind the scenes, then she had encountered difficulties in Jiangnan, or Xue Tingyun was also controlled by Xue Tingrong!

Since she couldn't come, she would go see her.

Prince Xiang has already arrived in Jinling, and Su Zhi will leave soon, so Cui Yuanqing cannot leave anymore. Otherwise, it is hard to say what will befall him as Prince Shou and Prince Jin fight each other.

Besides, summer is coming soon, and there will be severe drought in Henan and Anhui. At that time, a large number of refugees will rush to Beijing, and if there is no important person to stay and fight the disaster, there will be chaos.

"You can't leave Beijing!" Cheng Songan rejected him without hesitation, "I'll let Xuanwu escort me there."

Speaking of Xuanwu, Cui Yuanqing showed an indescribable look on his face. He felt that what she said made sense, but he wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find a reason. Or even if he could find one, he couldn't say it.

After a long while, he said, "Let Si Tui stay in Beijing for me. I will go with you. Xuanwu's skills are good, but he is just a common man. Well, he is not as brave as Si Wei."

Cheng Songan frowned: "Xuanwu is really not your man? I have wanted to ask for a long time. He doesn't look like an ordinary person. What is his background? Why are you so jealous?"

Cui Yuanqing answered irrelevantly: "This matter is very strange. It seems that Xue Tingrong deliberately wanted to lead you to Jinling. Don't be fooled easily. We need to think carefully."

Cheng Songan looked away. In his previous life, Cui Yuanqing stayed in Jiangnan for a year before returning to Beijing. So, he most likely reunited with Xue Tingyun at that time. Xue Tingyun still resented her and refused to go back to Beijing with him or see Si Tui. She didn't live a good life and suffered more than Xue Tingrong, so Cui Yuanqing treated her so coldly.

She then continued, "Situi can stay in Beijing for you, but he can't make decisions for you. Don't forget, he protects Xue Tingrong so much, isn't it for Xue Tingyun? He will soon know why you want to go to Jiangnan, and it's hard to say whether he can control you by then."

There was no way to discuss this matter further, and Qiangwei happened to come over and report: "Miss, the fourth grandmother and the others are here."

Cheng Songan sighed silently, knowing that he had to face what he had to face.

Cui Yuanqing understood her dilemma and spoke for her: "We didn't have so many rules in the past. Why do you have to come and inform them today? Let them in."

Cui Wenxin and Zhou followed behind the fourth grandmother, one on each side. Cui Wenxin held Qi Jie'er, while Zhou hugged Cui Yanzhao. They all knelt down in the garden.

Cheng Songan quickly stood up and said, "Fourth sister, what are you doing?"

Fourth Madam shed tears and said, "I am sorry for raising such an evil creature. When Kang'er died, I still felt some resentment, but I only realized in the past two days that he and his father had caused me so much pain... Young Madam, your sincerity towards us mother and son, I..."

Cheng Songan glanced at Cui Wenxin and knew that it was she who had found out about Cui Wenkang and that woman and told Fourth Grandma. She was now a grown-up girl with her own ideas. She could distinguish between gratitude and grudges, and could let go of things easily. This made people feel at ease.

Looking at Zhou again, she and her two children only had a circle of white hemp on their arms, which was considered mourning, but her face did not seem as sad as Fourth Grandma's. Instead, she looked relieved. She had long given up hope on Cui Wenkang, and without him, she felt better.

Cheng Songan felt somewhat relieved, but he could do nothing as Fourth Grandma kept wiping away her tears.

Cui Yuanqing said in a deep voice: "Fourth sister, Cui Wenkang died in my hands. Yun Dai was almost killed by him that day, but this silly girl still thought that he was your flesh and blood and would not let me do it."

"You all know my temper. Even if he is my own flesh and blood, if he forgets his ancestors and brings disgrace upon the family, I will kill him first and then die to atone for my crime. I am already doing this for her sake by sparing Cui Wenkang's body. If you want to cry, go to Chunhui Garden or Cixian Hall to cry."

When Cheng Songan heard him talking about his own flesh and blood, she looked at him and touched her belly unconsciously. Then she felt that her action was very silly. The grudge between them was just buried temporarily. After a month, Cui Yuanqing would move away and they would not have to communicate anymore. Maybe she would go to Yizhou to see her third sister.

The only flesh and blood between them had long been lost.

Fourth Grandma paused, then she realized where she had placed Cheng Song.

Cheng Songan's actions did not escape Cui Yuanqing's eyes, and then his expression eased a little, and he smiled at Cui Wenxin: "You didn't embarrass me."

As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly towards the door: "What's the matter?"

Siwei appeared in front of people like a ghost, and there was another person behind him - Su Zhi was kneeling on the ground.

Cheng Songan just sat down and quickly stood up: "Why is Mr. Su like this?"

As he said this, he looked at Cui Yuanqing and signaled him to tell Su Zhi not to perform the ceremony.

Cui Yuanqing asked calmly, "When did the Saint ask you to leave the capital?"

"The day after tomorrow." Su Zhi lowered his head and replied.

Cui Yuanqing: "What are you kneeling for?"

Su Zhi: "Please be my lord and madam as witnesses. Su Zhi is willing to marry into the Cui family."
