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

Fortunately, Cheng Songan was just confused for a moment, and after sleeping for a while, he woke up again, wiped his face, looked at Lu Qingshan with sleepy eyes and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Lu Qingshan gave her a look that looked like an ungrateful person: "I'm afraid you'll get drunk and be sold out."

Mudan looked at him angrily but dared not say a word. She would never sell her own daughter.

Cheng Songan rubbed his brows and said, "Lu Qingshan, you were like a fool all day long when you were a child. Why do you always look so gloomy when you grow up?"

Every time they met after his rebirth, he would smile in front of others, but when it was just the two of them, he always looked a little angry. Didn't I beat him when I was a child? It's been so many years, and he still can't get over it?

Lu Qingshan rolled his eyes at her, stood up and said, "Now that you're awake, go back quickly. Don't go out drinking alone next time."

Cheng Songan muttered in his heart, what do you care about? But seeing that he cared about himself, he also expressed his gratitude: "I know, thank you, Minister Lu."

Lu Qingshan seemed to dislike the title of Minister Lu. He frowned and hesitated to speak.

Cheng Songan felt a little strange again. When did he become so fussy?

After a long while, Lu Qingshan asked again: "Is Cui Yuanqing good to you?"

Cheng Songan scratched her head. Hadn't she asked this question before? Why was he asking it again? She looked at him like he was a fool and replied, "Didn't I tell you? He doesn't want a concubine or a maid, and all his monthly salary is spent on me. What else do you want?"

Lu Qingshan smiled faintly: "If he treats you badly, will you tell me?"

Cheng Songan didn't answer immediately, but stood up and walked towards the window. No matter what her relationship with Cui Yuanqing was, she didn't need to talk about this with irrelevant people.

Just as he was about to say a few perfunctory words, he suddenly saw a person walking towards him from the opposite corner of the street. He looked very familiar. Cheng Songan hurriedly called Mudan: "Look, is that person from the Cui Mansion?"

Mudan came over to take a look, identified him carefully and said, "He is the son of the fourth lady from Chang Street. He came to our house to ask Madam for a job before."

Cheng Songan was sure that this was Cui Wenkang, a relative of the Cui family's side branch, who also lived on the Cui Mansion. Cui Wenkang's grandfather died early, leaving only a widowed mother and a daughter. The daughter was the fourth grandmother. The fourth grandmother was the only blood of this family, so Cui Ziqi made the decision and recruited Cui Wenkang's father as a son-in-law. After giving birth to Cui Wenkang and his sister Cui Wenxin, the fourth grandmother also became a widow.

The reason why Cheng Songan remembered him was because when she was a housekeeper in her previous life, she held a flower-viewing banquet at Cui's house. Cui Wenkang came to ask for the job of replacing flowers and plants. At that time, she thought he was cunning, so she assigned an honest man. As a result, Cui Wenkang secretly did something bad and secretly put medicine in the bucket for watering manure, causing some delicate flowers to die overnight.

Fortunately, all the lotus flowers on the Qin Lake in the garden had bloomed by then, so the flower-viewing banquet was changed to lotus-viewing by the Qin Lake, which did not cause any embarrassment.

Later, Cheng Songan sent people to investigate for a long time before discovering that it was Cui Wenkang who did it. However, he had left the capital and was wandering around. He returned home a few years later. Cheng Songan had already forgotten about the matter and it was left unresolved.

But later it was heard that Cui Wenkang's wife Zhou gave birth to a boy and a girl, both of whom were supposed to have the surname Cui, but Cui Wenkang insisted on changing it to his father's original surname, called "Three Generations Returning to the Clan". Fourth grandmother was unwilling, so Cui Wenkang said that this was his father's last wish, which angered his mother to death.

Without the restraint of the Fourth Grandma, Cui Wenkang squandered the family's limited wealth even more unscrupulously. Whenever Zhou said a word to him, he would be beaten to death. Even Cui Wenxin was forced to marry a fourth-rank official whose third wife had died, just to get more dowry for himself to squander.

Cui Wenxin came crying to ask for help from Cheng Song'an, but she was already ill at that time, and the housekeeper power was given to Zhang. Zhang was a person who didn't care about anything that didn't concern her, so naturally she didn't want to get involved in these matters. At that time, the fight for the throne was at its most dangerous. Cui Yuanqing and Cui Ziqi were so busy in the court that they had no time to take care of the affairs in the backyard.

Therefore, the family of Grandma Cui Si did not have a good ending in her previous life. Cheng Songan sighed a little. When Cui Wenxin and Zhou were her housekeepers, they helped her a lot. They were the few people in the Cui family who were grateful. It was only because they gave birth to a son who was a Zhongshan wolf that they had this trouble!

Cheng Songan would never let such a thing happen in this life. She wanted to protect Cui Wenxin and Zhou. Old Madam Yu was still alive, and it wouldn't take much effort to deal with Cui Wenkang.

"What is he doing here?" Cheng Songan asked with a frown.

This street has places like Hongyanlou that are specially set up for distinguished guests, and the surrounding shops also serve the rich and powerful. Cui Wenkang is not good at studying and does not work hard, so how much money can he have?

Mudan shook her head: "I don't know either."

Seeing that she was very interested, Lu Qingshan also walked over and looked out the window. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "You said he is from the Cui family?"

Cheng Songan replied: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Lu Qingshan pointed at a few people who were coming from another street corner and were obviously meeting Cui Wenkang and said, "The one with a tiger head tattooed on his arm is Zhao Lin's follower."

Cheng Songan was shocked: "Really?"

With Lu Qingshan's current status, it is very common for him to enter and leave the residences of officials above the third rank in the court. He is also a man with a rough but meticulous mind. Since he says he is from the Zhao family, then he must be right.

He nodded: "Zhao Lin is a tyrant in the capital, and his subordinates are also bullies who take advantage of their power. I think he is a good person."

No wonder Cheng Songan had never met Zhao Lin, but he said those dirty words in Hongyan Tower last time. It turned out that Cui Wenkang spread them privately with these shady people.

Cheng Songan's face turned ugly.

Lu Qingshan was a little confused and asked, "Is there anything wrong with him? I'll check for you."

Cheng Songan shook his head: "Don't bother you, I'll let my people check it out."

He turned around and asked Mudan: "After you go back, let Li Wenbin come to see me."

Before Mudan could answer, Lu Qingshan turned and ran out the door, saying, "It will be cheaper for me to check. I will ask your people to come to the Lu Mansion to find me in three days."

Cheng Songan chased to the door. After a few jumps, Lu Qingshan had already descended to the first floor, like a light goose, extremely graceful and neat.

Unexpectedly, the opponent she defeated turned out to be the well-deserved third place winner in the imperial examination.

"Miss, it's an adult!" Mudan also walked to the stairs, looked down, and said to Cheng Songan in surprise and wonder, "Is he here to take you back home?"

Cheng Songan looked curiously in the direction he came from. Cui Yuanqing was wearing a scarlet third-rank official robe and standing on the first floor of Hongyan Tower with a tired look on his face. It was obvious that he was not here to drink.
