In Yunxiang Pavilion, Qiangwei and a few maids registered the gifts sent by the Duan family one by one and put them in a private warehouse.

Cheng Songan sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed, unraveling the jade chain she had used last time. She was thinking about what Old Lady Yu had said to her, "He won't let you down," and felt a little restless.

Originally in this mansion, the person she trusted and respected the most was Old Madam Yu. In her previous life, only the old lady felt sorry for her hard work as a housekeeper and often advised Cui Yuanqing to pay more attention to her. She was the only person in the entire Cui mansion who truly cared about her.

Before the old lady died in her previous life, she was still thinking of "Yun Dai" and asked her to be well with Cui Yuanqing. Cheng Songan always kept this love in her heart, so the only person she really cared about in Cui's house in this life was Old Lady Yu.

"He won't let you down." The old lady said this with a pleading tone.

The more Cheng Songan thought about it, the more annoyed he became. The jade chain in his hand became a mess. He didn't know how Cui Yuanqing had untied it so easily last time. Thinking of this, he got angry for no reason and threw it aside.

Qiangwei was counting the money when she saw this and burst out laughing.

Cheng Songan pursed his lips: "What are you laughing at?"

While taking notes in the book, Qiangwei smiled and replied, "When the girl was still at home, she would be so restless and irritable during the two festivals of the year. She could even lose her temper over a jade chain. How come she is still like this after getting married?"

Cheng Songan blushed, she knew what Qiangwei meant. After she got engaged to Cui Yuanqing, Cui Yuanqing would visit Cheng Zhongwen at his house every Spring and Autumn Festivals as usual.

She seldom went out before, and only on these two days could she hide behind the screen and take a look. Therefore, every few days before his visit, Cheng Songan would be restless and act like a spoiled child.

But now, she has decided to just live in peace with Cui Yuanqing, but because of the old lady's words, she raised her hope and became irritated.

Cheng Songan said angrily, "Why haven't you finished it after spending so long? You only care about what I am doing?"

Qiangwei and Haitang smiled at each other, shook their heads, and continued to work on their respective tasks.

There was a sound of curtain outside the door, and Cui Yuanqing walked in in a dark blue robe. Seeing the messy pile of things in the room, he couldn't help but frowned.

Haitang and Qiangwei smiled strangely, and Cui Yuanqing was stunned. He didn't know what they were laughing at, and his face became even uglier. These two girls, like servants to their masters, were becoming less and less solemn.

He didn't want to say anything to them, so he turned around and said to Si Bian who was standing outside the door: "Bring it in."

When Cheng Songan heard the noise, he stood up from the bed, stuck his head out and saw Si Bian and two young servants entering the room, dragging large and small bags.

She didn't quite understand what was going on. Remembering Cui Yuanqing's indifference to her in the ancestral hall, she bypassed him and asked Si Bian directly, "What are these?"

Si Bian chuckled and said, "From today on, Young Master will move out of the study and live in Yunxiang Pavilion."

Cheng Songan found it unbelievable. In their previous life, they had always respected each other and had never had any quarrels. He had never seen Cui Yuanqing move the bedding from the study back home. He had been against him many times in recent days, so how could he actually move it back?

Cui Yuanqing listened to their words in silence and snorted heavily.

Haitang and Qiangwei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Cui Yuanqing frowned and glared at them, but Cheng Songan felt embarrassed and angry. She was embarrassed because she knew the two of them were laughing at her, and Cui Yuanqing happened to move back; but she was angry because Cui Yuanqing, her maid, had no right to turn his face away from them!

Cheng Songan said to Sibian angrily, "Take it back. My Lord, you must work hard for the country and the people. It is your duty to sleep in the study every night."

Cui Yuanqing's brows suddenly tightened, and the frost on her face made the whole room colder. She actually didn't like him staying here!

Sibian saw that something was wrong. When he was moving things from the study just now, his master seemed relaxed, but why did he become angry when he came? He had served Cui Yuanqing since he was a child and knew his joys and sorrows best. This expression of his was a sign of anger.

He immediately went forward and hugged his legs and said: "My Lord, you are so kind to me. If you ask me to move these things back, the old lady will definitely pull out my tendons."

Cheng Songan snorted. It turned out to be the old lady's order. That made sense. Without her pressure, Cui Yuanqing would never have moved back on his own initiative.

After Sibian had begged Cui Yuanqing for help, he immediately knelt down in front of Cheng Songan and said, "Grandma, you are a very kind person. You never put on airs with us servants, and you pity the poor and the weak. Why are you so cold to us? Please at least smile. After I die, I will turn into a turtle to give you a tombstone as a reward!"

Haitang, Qiangwei and all the little girls in the room burst into laughter.

Cheng Songan couldn't help laughing and scolded him, "You little monkey, what's the matter with death? Don't you think it's bad luck? Go with your sister Haitang to clean up the west room and put these things away."

She lived in the master bedroom, and the east room was used to store some miscellaneous items. Since she had no children, the west room was left empty.

When Sibian heard this, he immediately jumped up and down and took Haitang with two servants, for fear that the two young masters would go back on their word and cause him to be punished by the old lady.

Cui Yuanqing stood there without moving, packing her things into the west room, implying that he should sleep there, meaning that she still would not sleep on the same bed with him.

Humph, he sneered, not quite what she wanted.

Hearing his sneer, Cheng Songan rolled her eyes, stood up and walked to the west room. She suddenly remembered that the guqin sent by Prince Xiang's Mansion was still in that room, and she didn't want it to be damaged.

In the west room, Haitang was directing the three people to unpack and sort the things one by one, putting them on the bed, on the table, and in the closet. Nothing should be mixed up. This was what she requested when she packed up Cheng Songan's things.

Si Bian took out a brown coat and said, "I haven't had time to wash this one yet, so I won't put it in the closet yet."

Haitang took it and said, "Put it aside. I'll have someone wash it."

Cheng Songan angrily dragged him over and threw him to Sibian, saying, "Isn't it enough that you serve me? Why do I ask you to do two jobs?"

Sibian and Haitang both tried to hold back their laughter but didn't say anything.

Just as Cheng Songan was about to turn around, he noticed a faint scent of sandalwood on the clothes. The smell was delicate, and the fragrance was long-lasting and deep - Cui Yuanqing was moved by the sight of Cheng Cheng!

Cheng Wanxin always felt that she was more special than ordinary women. She didn't like the sweet scent of girls and thought that sandalwood could better highlight her Zen-like nature. This was the incense she had been using since she was a child.

This means that not only have the two met, but they may have also had close contact, otherwise the sandalwood scent would not have lasted so long.

Cheng Songan felt depressed. He came out of the west room and called Qiangwei, saying, "Take out the gold necklace and send it back to the Cheng Mansion tomorrow as an engagement gift for my second sister!"

Cui Yuanqing was just untying the jade chain. Hearing this, he raised his eyes, but instantly became cold again. He snorted and laughed, "You are so mean to your own sister!"

The words were full of sarcasm.
