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

Cheng Songan regretted sleeping in the west room for a night. How could it be as comfortable as the carved step-out bed in the master bedroom?

She thought that Cui Yuanqing should go to the yamen by now. After all, the autumn examination had just ended and he had to judge the papers with the chief judge. So she walked back to her bedroom, but Cui Yuanqing was not there.

Cheng Songan sat on the chaise longue and unconsciously picked up the Nine Rings again. While taking them apart, he was thinking about two important things at the moment.

One is Cui Wenkang's matter. In his previous life, he decided to "recognize his ancestors" after Zhou gave birth to a son, but it was still several years before Zhou gave birth to that child. Now he only has a daughter named Qi Jie'er, who later became pregnant, but failed to keep the baby.

Cheng Songan cannot wait for several years to deal with him, because Cui Wenxin is fifteen years old this year, and Cui Wenkang has begun to secretly contact the old man whose several wives and concubines have died, and wants to "sell" her sister. She must dissuade him from this idea as soon as possible.

The second was her own qi stagnation and blood stasis. Before she got married, she had never been on guard against Cheng Wanxin and her daughter, and it was not difficult for them to do something. But in her previous life, after she married into the Cui Mansion, she must have been "taking pills by mistake", otherwise her body would not have been so damaged.

There are only two ways for Cheng Wanxin to reach the Cui Mansion: bribe the people in the Cui Mansion and bribe the people around him.

There is a great risk that those who bribed the Cui family would be discovered by Cui Yuanqing. If so, her mask of innocence and kindness would be revealed. Cheng Wanxin would not take the risk. Besides, no matter how cold Cui Yuanqing was in his previous life, Cheng Songan could be sure that he had no intention of killing her. Otherwise, with his means and power, even if he forced her to death, no one would be able to do anything to him.

The only remaining way is to bribe the people around you.

Cheng Songan sighed softly. She had never expected that no matter how careful she was, she could not guard against a thief in her own home. If it had not been for this coincidence, no matter how much she calmed down, how much she cared about housework, and how much she sought protection from the Prince Xiang's Mansion, she would still have gone down the path of her previous life in a daze. After all, her life was in the hands of others.

Haitang was changing her bedding in the room. When she heard her sigh, she chuckled, "You were fine yesterday. Why did you have to go to sleep in that room out of spite?"

Cheng Songan pouted: "Who is angry about him? Haitang, come here, I want to tell you something."

Even if everyone in this room betrays her, Haitang won't do that. This matter can only be told to Haitang first.

Seeing her seriousness, Haitang stopped laughing at her. Since there was no one around, she sat down on the chaise longue and asked, "What are you taking so seriously?"

Cheng Songan glanced outside. Haitang understood and felt that this matter was unusual. He immediately walked outside and said, "The girl is still dizzy now. She needs to sleep for a while. You all should be quiet and don't disturb her in the room if you have nothing to do."

There were a few sporadic responses from the courtyard, and the maids and old women were happy not to have to come in to serve, so they all went back to their rooms.

Haitang pulled the curtain of the inner room, then came back and asked in a low voice: "Did something go wrong with one of our own people?"

Cheng Songan bowed his head in silence, then slowly said, "I was ambushed."

Haitang Huode stood up from the chaise longue, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, his eyes red: "What happened? Where are you injured?"

Cheng Songan felt a pain on his shoulder when she grabbed him, but he was deeply touched. Haitang was really afraid that she would get hurt, which was why she lost her composure. Her love for him was no less than that of Aunt Lin for her mother.

"Don't worry," Cheng Songan pulled her hand down and pressed her to sit on the chaise longue. "It's a chronic medicine, not poisonous, but it will cause my qi to stagnate and my blood to stagnate. If I continue like this for a long time, my insides will be ruined..."

After hearing this, Haitang felt as if she was frozen in time and couldn't believe it for a long time. After a while, she clenched her hand into a fist and slammed it on the couch. Her knuckles turned white and she couldn't stop shaking.

Cheng Songan walked over, took her hand, and tears began to fall. In Haitang's previous life, she watched him become seriously ill and eventually die. She cried secretly countless times in those years, and always felt that she didn't take good enough care of him and that was why she didn't get better.

She couldn't imagine how much Haitang would blame herself after her death, and she didn't have to endure all this.

"Don't be afraid. Fortunately, we found out early." Cheng Songan pulled up her hand that was slamming on the couch. "From now on, you have to personally check my diet before I eat, okay?"

Haitang then asked in a hoarse voice: "Who wants to harm you?"

Cheng Songan looked at her and said, "I told you, you can't be impulsive."

The two of them have been together day and night for nearly twenty years, more times than their respective parents, siblings, so how could they not understand?

Haitang asked in a trembling voice, "Is it someone from our house?"

Cheng Songan nodded: "I'm not sure either, but from the beginning of the year until now, the only people who have been able to keep in touch with my diet and daily life are those in our courtyard."

Haitang took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and had a determined look in her eyes: "If I find him, I will definitely torture him. I can't let him die so easily!"

After calming down, he asked again, "What does he gain by harming you like this?"

Cheng Songan knew that she had to explain it to her, but she couldn't explain it too clearly. She couldn't hide her emotions in front of Cui Yuanqing. So she said, "You have to ask my good second sister."

Haitang was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Second Miss? If she harms you, then, then..."

Cheng Songan covered her mouth in time and whispered, "Don't make a sound. Only the two of us know about this."

Haitang's mind turned a thousand words in an instant, and she suddenly understood all the causes and consequences.

No wonder on the wedding night, the attitude of the young lady towards the second young lady changed overnight, and she also sent a message back to the Cheng Mansion, asking the lady to keep an eye on the second young lady's yard, and then, despite the master's opposition, she wanted to marry Cheng Wanxin far away from the capital. It is no wonder that she, who had been in love with Cui Yuanqing since she was a teenager, became cold to him overnight, and all her abnormal behaviors after marrying into the Cheng Mansion made sense.

It turned out that Cui Yuanqing and Cheng Wanxin were the ones who did something wrong to her young lady first, what a pair of bastards!

Haitang's eyes were red with anger, and she looked like the old days when she followed her to "do evil" in Yizhou. She said viciously: "So this is your idea, don't even think about it!"

After a moment of silence, Cheng Songan asked a question that neither of them wanted to speculate on: "Who do you think will work for Cheng Wanxin?"

Haitang frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Mother Li and the others are Madam's companions. The lives of the whole family are in Madam's hands, so it can't be them. The male servants are either in charge of the manor, or the rest are not allowed to enter the inner house, so it can't be them either."

The two fell silent again.

Finally, it was Cheng Songan who said, "You are close to the three of them, and so am I. Let's not speculate. Why don't we let mother bring Cheng Wanxin here to give them a chance to get to know each other."
