Cheng Songan rolled her eyes at him without any concealment. They had only had physical contact three days ago. Not to mention that she was infertile, even if she was, it was impossible for her to be pregnant in just three days.

Cui Yuanqing was famous in the capital for his intelligence when he was young, but the questions he asked now were not much different from those of an ignorant child.

"Of course not," Cheng Songan was too lazy to care about his ignorance at this moment, and continued, "If I had a daughter, I would definitely not want her to get married, but what if I find a son-in-law for her, and after I die, the other party wants to change my grandson back to his original surname, what should I do?"

Cui Yuanqing said with a hint of sarcasm: "You are already dead, how can you still take care of your affairs after death?"

Cheng Songan was speechless. A dead person naturally has no right to care about the affairs of the living. After her death in her previous life, Cui Yuanqing would probably be busy making Cheng Wanxin the new prime minister's wife, and she would be dead if she died.

Seeing her suddenly stunned, Cui Yuanqing became suspicious again and asked, "Are you really not pregnant?"

Cheng Songan had originally felt regretful for not being able to have children, but now she suddenly felt fortunate. If she still could not escape the fate of dying early in her previous life, she would not be able to rest in peace if she left behind a child.

She smiled softly: "Don't worry, I won't be pregnant."

Cui Yuanqing's face froze. He walked to the bed, approached her and asked, "Did you drink the contraceptive soup?"

Cheng Songan smiled helplessly: "No."

Cui Yuanqing's expression eased a little, but a look of loss appeared in an instant, but this expression was fleeting. He slowly pinched Cheng Songan's chin, with cold eyes, and said word by word: "Don't drink."

Cheng Songan felt a chill in his heart. He hated her, but that did not stop him from using her as a tool to reproduce offspring.

She turned her head away, not wanting to see the anger in his eyes.

Cui Yuanqing increased the strength of his hands, forcing her to lift her face up. Facing her, he sneered, "If you dare to drink the contraceptive soup behind my back, I will sell all the servants around you. I will personally kill those who buy, boil, and serve medicine for you."

Cheng Songan couldn't help but feel afraid of him. In her previous life, Cui Yuanqing was polite, distant and indifferent to her, making her forget that he was the prime minister of the cabinet who had fought his way out of the thorns. He could do what he said.

Her body trembled slightly, and she was once again thankful that she was infertile and had never considered drinking contraceptive soup.

"Don't worry, I won't drink it." She lowered her head and said weakly.

Cui Yuanqing released the hand that was pinching her chin, waited until she stopped shaking, and then spoke again: "What you just said, the solution is very simple, get rid of the father and keep the son."

Cheng Songan almost forgot the previous question. After hearing what he said, he was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the issue of a son-in-law returning to the family lineage after three generations.

Leaving the father and keeping the son is indeed a very good idea. Cheng Songan went through a lot of twists and turns, just feeling lucky, but now she suddenly felt regretful. If she could also have a child, wouldn't it be better to also leave the father and keep the son?

Cui Yuanqing added: "If you die, I, Cui Yuanqing's daughter, will never be bullied to this extent."

Cheng Songan's heart suddenly felt like it was pricked by a fine needle, feeling both sour and numb. Has he ever thought about the possibility of them having a child?

She asked again with some surprise: "What if you died too?"

Cui Yuanqing was not angry. Instead, he thought about it seriously and said, "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. If we all die, we will consider everything for her before we die. We can entrust our close friends to her and leave behind some loyal servants and generals to protect her and her children and grandchildren."

Cheng Songan's frightened heart suddenly seemed to be calmed down a little bit. Looking at Cui Yuanqing's solemn expression, he was stunned for a moment.

It turns out that even if he doesn't like her, he will still plan his life for her children.

"What's wrong with you today?" Cui Yuanqing saw her stunned and frowned and asked, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Cheng Songan came back to his senses and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay. I just heard people talking about this in the teahouse and I became curious."

Cui Yuanqing was skeptical, his eyes fell on her lower abdomen again, and suddenly he stood up and went out.

In fact, Cheng Songan only stepped on one empty step of the stairs. She was dizzy for a moment, but did not fall anything solid. So she simply got off the bed and prepared to see if the grape seeds that Taxue had soaked for her had sprouted.

After watching Taxue transplant the sprouted grape seeds into the yard with his own eyes, he returned to the house with peace of mind. Just as he was about to go to the west room to practice the piano, he saw Cui Yuanqing asking someone to bring Doctor Sun, the court physician, to the main hall.

Cheng Songan's feet felt like they were nailed to the ground. The reason why she knew Doctor Sun was because this court physician had always been treating her when she fell ill in her previous life, and it was he who diagnosed her infertility.

Doctor Sun, who looked to be in his early forties, bowed respectfully and placed his medical box on the lacquered table, apparently waiting to take her pulse.

Cheng Songan looked at Cui Yuanqing nervously: "Sir, what are you doing?"

Cui Yuanqing raised his chin towards her, motioning her to sit on the chaise longue, and said calmly, "Didn't you say that you are not feeling well and your menstruation is irregular? Doctor Sun is an expert in gynecology, so I'll take a look at you."

Cheng Songan glanced at Doctor Sun. He had already opened his diagnosis box. If he diagnosed her as infertile at this moment, her status in the Cui Mansion would surely plummet, and even Old Madam Yu would no longer favor her.

In his previous life, Cui Yuanqing was determined not to take a concubine for the sake of Cheng Wanxin and Yongger, and endured a lot of crying and threats from Cui Ziqi and his wife. Later, he may have confessed Yongger's life experience to make his parents feel relieved.

Since Cui Yuanqing regarded her as a tool to reproduce offspring, if there was no Yong Ge'er in this life, then she would have no value as a tool and would inevitably be abandoned by Cui Yuanqing.

Cui Yuanqing refused to divorce her for the sake of his official power, which damaged her dignity. One can imagine how her future life in the Cui Mansion will be.

"Madam, please sit on the couch. I will feel your pulse first." Doctor Sun had already placed the pulse pillow on the kang table of the chaise longue.

Cheng Songan stood on the ground, thinking only that this pulse cannot be taken!

Doctor Sun looked at Cui Yuanqing and said with a smile, "Madam, you are shy and a little embarrassed."

Cui Yuanqing frowned: "Doctors are like parents to their children. Why should I be embarrassed?"

Cheng Songan pursed his lips: "I'm fine."

Cui Yuanqing lost his patience and put his arm around her shoulders, hugging her and sitting on the couch.

Before Cheng Songan could react, Cui Yuanqing had already pressed her hand on the pulse pillow, and Doctor Sun, who had been prepared, took out a handkerchief, covered her wrist, and stretched out his fingers to take her pulse.

At first, Doctor Sun had a blank expression on his face, but as time went on, his expression became more and more solemn, just like the expression he had when he came to see her in her previous life when she had been married into the Cui family for three years and had no children.
