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

"I want to meet Cui Yuanqing."

Lu Qingshan could hardly hold back her emotions. At this point, the only person she was thinking about was Cui Yuanqing.

He closed his eyes, trying to suppress his unhappiness, and asked, "The wisest thing for Cui Yuanqing to do at this time is to avoid him. If he comes here, he will surely get into trouble."

Cheng Songan half-closed her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes concealing her emotions. She blinked lightly and said nothing.

"Cheng Yundai, are you so unconvinced that I will help you?" Lu Qingshan stared at her and asked softly.

Cheng Songan shook his head: "No, I..."

She opened her mouth but didn't continue.

It's already May. In a month or so, there will be floods in the south and droughts in the north. Her entire fortune depends on the food.

If the Cheng family is found guilty of treason, all their property will be confiscated, but her grain deeds are not in the warehouse, but stored separately in the snow, which cannot be found during the house search. They may be a ray of hope for the Cheng family. If she cannot exchange them with the grain merchants in time, her efforts will be in vain, and many people will still be displaced like in her previous life.

Cheng Songan only told Cui Yuanqing about this matter, and most of it was bought with the betrothal gift he gave. Only Cui Yuanqing could do it to maximize the benefits.

Lu Qingshan is Prince Jin's man, and she believes that he did not participate in planning this matter, but they are one, and they prosper together and suffer together. Prince Jin's taking down of the Cheng family is equivalent to cutting off an arm of Prince Xiang and Prince Shou. If Lu Qingshan turns against them at this time, wouldn't he be bringing disaster upon himself?

Cheng Songan can't gamble.

Lu Qingshan waited quietly for a while, and seeing that she still didn't say anything, he spoke again: "Cui Yuanqing will not come."

Cheng Songan finally raised his head slowly, without any response to his words. As if thinking of something, he said to him, "Lu Qingshan, I am a little worried about Haitang. When you meet her, make sure she waits for me for a month without any worries."

Rose and the others would naturally be anxious too, but Begonia was different.

Cheng Songan is the eldest daughter of the Cheng family and always plays the role of an older sister. Only Haitang is her support and her older sister. She must be extremely anxious at this moment, but she believes in Lu Qingshan. As long as Lu Qingshan brings her a message, she will feel a little relieved.

Lu Qingshan agreed and asked, "What about you? What do you want me to do for you?"

Cheng Songan shook his head.

Lu Qingshan finally couldn't help but said, "This time is different from the time with Zhao Lin. Cui Yuanqing won't..."

"He will come!" Cheng Songan interrupted him, his eyes drooping again, and whispered, "He said that as long as I need him, he will always come for me."

Lu Qingshan's eyes were cold. He stared at her for a while and then left the interrogation room.

Cheng Songan stayed in the Dali Temple for a full ten days. Because of Lu Qingshan's face, the cell where she was held was relatively clean, and no one deliberately made things difficult for her. The daily meals were also relatively clean. But a cell was a cell after all. There was no sunlight, only cold and dampness, which made people forget that it was summer.

The prison door on the steps outside creaked open and several footsteps were heard from above.

Cheng Songan hugged his knees and buried his head in them, without any reaction to the noise.

Someone walked up to her, slowly squatted down, gently touched her head, and held her in his arms: "I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Cheng Songan raised her head, there was no surprise in her eyes, she smiled with her dry lips: "You are here."

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Cui Yuanqing was hurt by her smile. She had never suffered so much and had never been so haggard, but she was still smiling.

Cheng Songan smiled again: "I know you will come."

Just like when she was stuck in the swamp, he quickly came back to find her.

There was another noise outside the prison door. It was Wang Quangang who had received the news and hurried over, along with Lu Qingshan and Wang Changsheng.

"How dare you!" Wang Quangang shouted angrily, "How dare Minister Cui be so presumptuous? How dare he visit the prison without permission! Who opened the door? Hit him hard!"

Cui Yuanqing patted Cheng Songan on the back soothingly, turned around and stood up, swept his eyes over a few people, and landed on Wang Quangang, staring at him intently.

He didn't say a word, but for no reason Wang Quangang felt a little lacking in momentum.

Wang Changsheng, whose official position was lower than theirs, stepped forward, bowed and said, "Sir Cui, it is indeed against the rules for you to break into the Dali Temple's cell privately."

Cui Yuanqing glanced at Wang Quangang and said calmly, "First of all, Lord Wang should address me as Minister Cui."

When these words came out, Wang Quangang and Wang Changsheng were both shocked. They all knew that he was a favorite of the emperor and entered the cabinet at a young age. After all, he was only in his early twenties. At this time, the Cheng family incident happened, but he was actually promoted to Shangshu! He was promoted directly from Shilang to Shangshu, which was unprecedented in this dynasty.

The Minister of Personnel is in charge of the promotion, demotion, transfer, and assessment of court officials, and is closely related to the future of every official.

Wang Quangang was about to speak.

Cui Yuanqing said calmly, "Secondly, I am not visiting the prison. I want to take my wife away from here."

"Master Cui..." Wang Quan knew the situation and did not call him Minister, but he still insisted: "Master Cheng's case has not been fully investigated yet, and Master Cui wants to take away the witness. I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Cui Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "According to the laws of our dynasty, pregnant women who are imprisoned are allowed to give birth outside the prison on bail unless they are guilty of a capital crime. They are not allowed to be imprisoned. Lord Wang, as the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, should be familiar with this."

"Pregnant woman?" Lu Qingshan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly staggered and looked at Cheng Songan in doubt, "Are you pregnant?"

Cheng Songan was also surprised when she heard Cui Yuanqing say this, but she was sitting down and didn't look up, so no one else saw her reaction.

She quickly realized that Cui Yuanqing had made up this story to get her out, so she nodded at Lu Qingshan, then lowered her head again. She really didn't know how Cui Yuanqing would confirm this matter. What if Wang Quangang asked to verify the truth?

Wang Quangang laughed sarcastically and said, "Everyone in the world knows that you two have been divorced for several months, how can you still be pregnant? Miss Cheng comes from a famous family, she will definitely not do such a shameful thing!"

Cui Yuanqing looked at him with half-squinted eyes and suddenly smiled, but his smile was so abrupt that it seemed a little out of place in this atmosphere.

"Go and invite the princess in." He ordered outside the prison door, but his eyes were still fixed on Wang Quangang.

Wang Quangang was forced to lower his head because of his gaze. He always felt an inexplicable chill covering his head, which was mixed with a lot of murderous intent. He couldn't even think about why the seventh princess, who was a noble lady, would condescend to come to the prison cell.

Soon, there was the sound of jingling bells outside the door, and several maids and eunuchs came in. Then, the seventh princess came in, followed by someone.

The Seventh Princess raised the yellow silk in her hand and said in a crisp voice, "An imperial decree."
