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

Little Feng Zheng held the fat Luo Luo Nu in his arms and pointed to a place happily, saying, "Mom, look, there are grape racks here too."

Cheng Songan followed her gaze and saw that the place where they planted grapes had been turned into a pavilion-sized trellis. It was no longer suitable for farming at this time of year, but Xiao Fengzheng had watched Cheng Songan and Ta Xue planting grapes since he was a child, so he naturally thought that all the trellises were grape trellises.

In fact, Cheng Songan could also see that this rack was built for growing grapes, which meant that Cui Yuanqing also planted them every year. She could even imagine him sitting alone under the grape vines during the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Cheng Songan said nothing and followed Haitang and Qiangwei into the main room. Suddenly, she thought she had stepped into the time and space five years ago. The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as before she left, without any change. The only difference was that the nine-linked ring on the kang table of the chaise longue under the window was not golden in color.

She walked over, picked it up and took a look, only to find that it was not the color that was different, but the outer layer of gilt had been worn off. Judging from the degree of wear and tear, it must have been taken apart by someone whenever they had nothing to do in the past five years.

It was Cui Yuanqing who sat alone under the window on countless nights, dismantling the nine-ring chain over and over again.

In these five years, Cheng Songan has not been around, but there are traces of Cheng Songan's life everywhere.

Seeing that she noticed it, Cui Yuanqing walked over and calmly put away the Nine Links, then rolled up the bedding on the bed and said to Haitang, "Change the bed and put it in the old place."

Haitang had never been back here in all these years, for fear of being reminded of the past by the sight of things there, but the familiar layout of the room made her feel as if she had returned to the past. She unconsciously took the bedding from Cui Yuanqing and wanted to take it to the outer room for him.

Cui Yuanqing rejected her, picked it up and put it on the bed in the west room, then unfolded it again. As if he didn't want to disturb Cheng Songan's reunion with Haitang and Qiangwei, he sat down alone in the west room in silence.

Haitang and Qiangwei looked at each other and felt that Cui Yuanqing was in an unusual mood, but they did not dare to ask. They could only pretend that nothing had happened and confided in Cheng Songan about each other's lives over the years.

Haitang continued, "I don't know where the master has taken Taxue and Zhuque. I didn't dare tell the old lady and the second young lady about your return in advance, for fear of disappointing them again. In the first few years, every time the master left the capital, they were so nervous that they couldn't sleep for several days. Today they went to Baoguo Temple to burn incense again."

Cheng Songan nodded. In this life, as long as her mother, aunt, grandmother and Wanxin were alive and well, she would be satisfied.

As the sky gradually darkened, Qiangwei was attentive and said, "The young lady and the master have just returned to the capital. They are exhausted from the journey. It would be better for them to rest early. The old lady and the second young lady will definitely come tomorrow."

Having said that, he began to serve Cheng Song'an skillfully.

Cheng Songan waved his hand: "I have been used to doing everything with Taxue in the past few years. I don't need anyone to wait on me. You should go back quickly, especially Qiangwei. The child still needs to be fed. Don't delay."

Qiangwei said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal if I skip a meal? I'll have someone to feed me."

Cheng Songan knew that the marriage arranged by Cui Yuanqing for her was a good one and her husband's family would treat her very well.

Haitang also followed and pushed her: "I told you to go, so just go. Tell Fourth Grandma and Sister Zhou quietly so that they can be happy too."

Cheng Songan held her busy hand and said, "You go back too. Second sister and Yong'er can't live without you. I'm familiar with everything here, so don't worry."

Haitang wanted to retort, but then she caught a glimpse of the shadow in the west room and sighed. These two people had a relationship and needed some time alone, so she didn't insist anymore and left Fisherman and Woodcutter Villa with Qiangwei.

The room became quiet again, and then the sound from the west room came over. The lingering sound had a soft tune. It was the sleep-aiding song "Good Night".

Cui Yuanqing was playing the piano at the desk with her back to the door. Xiao Fengzheng was sitting beside her, resting her chin on her hand, feeling a little sleepy. Next to her head was Luo Luonu, who was also dozing off. The two of them and the cat looked very affectionate under the dim light.

Cheng Songan walked over gently, bent down and said, "Zheng'er is sleepy, go to sleep."

Little Feng Zheng raised his head dazedly, snuggled into Cheng Songan's arms and said, "I want to sleep with my dad and mom."

When returning to Beijing from the northwest, Ming Zhan sent guards to accompany him. On the way, they either stayed in post stations or set up a few simple tents and camped on the spot. Cheng Songan and Cui Yuanqing were placed in the same tent, and Xiao Fengzheng had already gotten used to it.

But when he returned to the farm, Cheng Songan felt a little embarrassed.

Cui Yuanqing spoke first: "Mom is tired. How about Xiao Fengzheng and Luo Luonu sleeping in Daddy's room? Daddy will play the piano for you."

Little Feng Zheng nodded sleepily, letting her father carry her to the couch. Luo Luo Nu also jumped on the couch and lay down beside her, falling asleep side by side.

Cui Yuanqing lowered his eyes, wrapped his big hand around Xiao Fengzheng's small face, as if holding an incomparably precious pearl, and pleaded, "Can you let her stay with me for a few more days?"

Cheng Songan sat under the lamp and looked at him quietly. He had changed a lot in the past five years and became cautious. He didn't even dare to ask himself why he followed him back to Beijing.

He was sure that she would leave again, so he did not try to stop her.

After a long while, she asked, "Cui Yuanqing, won't you look at me?"

Cui Yuanqing's hand that was caressing his daughter's face paused, and his whole body seemed to be frozen, standing there motionless. After a long time, he turned back as if to confirm, with moisture in his eyes.

Cheng Songan stared into his eyes: "I gave birth to a daughter for you, won't you hug me?"

Cui Yuanqing shed a tear without warning. He stood up in panic, stretched out his hands and walked to her side, but suddenly put them down: "I am not worthy."

Cheng Songan did not force him, but sat down next to the piano he had just played. This was the one that Princess Xiang had given him, and it was called Yanong. He stretched out his hand and plucked it, and a clanging sound came out.

Little Feng Zheng frowned at the sound, but when she heard the following flowing piano music, she fell asleep again holding Luo Luo Nu. She had heard her mother play this piece of music countless times when she was in Jiangnan.

It was Sister Taxue who told her that it was called Xisang. How could she not love him? If she kept it in her heart, how could she forget it?

At the end of the song, Cheng Songan was hugged from behind. Cui Yuanqing knelt behind her and hugged her tightly: "Yun Dai, don't hide. I won't force you to come out again..."

"I'll give you everything you want, including your life."

"I let you go, Yun Dai. I give you freedom."

Cheng Songan didn't look back. The person holding her behind her was trembling a little, indicating that he had used a lot of courage to speak.

I let you go, I give you freedom.

"Cui Yuanqing, you are still such a bastard." Cheng Songan sighed and cursed.

Cui Yuanqing did not deny it: "Yes, if I were you, I would kill myself on my wedding night."
