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

The jade pendant was clear in color and warm to the touch. It looked very beautiful in Cheng Songan's fair hand.

Li Wenbin saw a gleam in her eyes from the corner of his eye, as if something was bothering her. He was not the kind of person who would meddle in other people's business, so since she didn't say anything, he just waited quietly.

After a long while, Cheng Songan realized that he had lost his composure a little, but he did not try to hide it. He lowered his eyes to look at the jade pendant and asked, "Where did you get this?"

Li Wenbin said, "I sneaked into Zhao's house for a few days and learned from Zhao Lin that the assassin knocked him unconscious and cut off his tongue, then quickly walked away. However, he did not expect that the jade pendant was accidentally caught by the wire on the railing and fell under him. When the servant found him, he did not dare to hide it and handed it over when he woke up."

Cheng Songan's two hands were twisted unconsciously, and a battle between heaven and man was going on in her mind for several rounds. Finally, she decided to be willful for once and said, "I want to meet with Lu Qingshan and ask him some questions in person."

Li Wenbin immediately understood what she meant. She wanted to meet Lu Qingshan in secret and ask some questions that could not be heard by outsiders. However, according to etiquette, a court lady and a third-rank official could not meet privately.

So that time in Hongyan Tower, Lu Qingshan left the door of the private room wide open and let Mudan sit in the room with him, but he did not have any physical contact with her.

What Li Wenbin needs to do is to arrange the time and place and let them meet openly.

He pursed his lips and agreed after a moment: "I will go and make an appointment with Minister Lu and then inform the young lady."

Cheng Songan smiled at him and said, "I'm at ease with you doing the job."

Li Wenbin lowered his head and walked out.

Cheng Songan half-lying on a bamboo chair, picked up the emerald green jade pendant, placed it under the autumn sun, and squinted his eyes to look at it.

Mudan held up her head and asked, "Miss, what's so good about this jade pendant?"

Cheng Songan closed his eyes: "He vented my anger for me."

Mudan asked curiously, "How can Yupei vent your anger? I think Li Wenbin is not reliable and is just fooling girls."

Cheng Songan touched her head, smiling, and his heart beat fast just thinking that the man was also in Beijing. He also cut off Zhao Lin's tongue. Although he knew that it was not for himself, he could not calm down. This was the closest they had been in more than ten years.

She held the jade pendant high and looked at it in the sunlight. The young man seemed to be riding a horse and holding a sword.

Suddenly, it became dark in front of him. Cui Yuanqing stood in front of the bamboo chair, blocking the setting sun. The light shone on him, creating a layer of golden light.

Without waiting for her to react, Cui Yuanqing reached out, picked up the jade pendant and glanced at it indifferently.

Cheng Songan suddenly stood up and said nervously, "Give it back to me."

Cui Yuanqing half-squinted his eyes and looked at her, then looked at the jade pendant in his hand, with a cold expression on his face: "Why are you panicking?"

Cheng Songan was exposed and became angry and said, "Who is panicking? This is my jade pendant. How dare you take it away?"

"What am I doing?" Cui Yuanqing seemed to laugh out of anger, "This is a men's jade pendant!"

Cheng Songan blushed, and without caring about it, he just stretched out his arm to reach it.

Cui Yuanqing was much taller than her, and she couldn't reach him if he raised his arm slightly, not to mention that he was intentionally raising it higher.

He snorted coldly: "You dare to take back a man's things?"

After saying this, he pretended to fall down.

Cheng Songan got anxious and quickly climbed onto the bamboo chair to grab her. Cui Yuanqing threw her back and she threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck with both hands, and hung her whole body on him.

Cui Yuanqing's laughter spread from her chest to her body, making her feel numb.

Cheng Songan was angry and anxious. She let him go immediately, straightened her messy skirt, and said with red eyes: "Give it back to me!"

Cui Yuanqing's lips curled up, but it was not a smile, but an interrogation: "Who gave it to you?"

Cheng Songan remained silent stubbornly. He was not worthy of asking him.

Cui Yuanqing snorted coldly, pinched the jade pendant with only two fingers, and turned it carelessly. If he was not careful, it would fall to the ground and break into pieces.

Cheng Songan felt desperate as if the paradise in her heart would be revealed to the public by him. For two lifetimes, she had buried him deep in her heart. If she had not been reborn, she would have rarely even thought about him. Morally, she had never let Cui Yuanqing down.

She had been very kind to him, but he was with her half-sister behind her back, and now he was blaming her!

Cheng Songan was so angry that she was shaking all over and tears were falling uncontrollably, but she still held her head high and stared at him without blinking.

Cui Yuanqing didn't expect that she would cry. He was stunned for a moment, put down his hand that was holding the jade pendant, and then threw the jade pendant into her hand. He strode into the room and ordered the meal to be served.

The frightened Mudan hurried forward to wipe Cheng Songan's tears, and whispered: "Girl, don't cry. If you are angry, hit me twice."

Cheng Songan almost cried out loud, but forced herself to hold back: "Silly girl, why should I hit you?"

She said angrily, "Sooner or later, I will give him a good beating."

Little Mudan is not Cheng Wanxin's person. She is a simple-minded child. When she saw her young lady crying, she thought that she could vent her anger by hitting her twice.

Mudan glanced at Cui Yuanqing and nodded cautiously. She knew that he always made her young lady cry, so she really deserved to be beaten.

In her previous life, Cheng Songan often ate alone, and no one would notice if she was given chronic medicine. But today, when Cui Yuanqing came back to eat, she didn't have to worry about what was in the food. After all, no matter how much Cheng Wanxin wanted to harm her, she would have told her not to hurt Cui Yuanqing, and she would not put those medicines in when he was around.

Thinking about this, Cheng Songan suddenly realized that Cui Yuanqing had been returning to the backyard too often recently. Was it because the Queen suspected Prince Xiang too much?

She ate in silence, thinking as she ate, her eyes red like a rabbit.

Cui Yuanqing sneered and said, "I advise you not to take this thing out again in the future."

Cheng Songan calmed down, knowing that he was still in the same boat with him and couldn't make him angry again, so he replied sullenly, "Yes."

Listening to her sarcastic remarks, Cui Yuanqing simply put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth gracefully and casually, and walked towards the bathroom.

It was such a cold day, and no one knew why he had to take a bath every day. The longer Cheng Songan spent with him, the less he understood him.

After she finished her meal, she just rinsed her mouth and washed her face, then sat down in front of the dressing table. After thinking for a while, she put the jade pendant and the necklace together, and then locked the drawer.

Cui Yuanqing came out of the shower with a fresh scent on his body. He lay down on the bed, with his arms behind his head, and seemed to fall asleep directly.

Cheng Songan called him calmly, "Master Cui."

Cui Yuanqing didn't even bother to open his eyes, and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

Cheng Songan thought about the words and asked, "Is your sweetheart married?"

Cui Yuanqing's originally relaxed body stiffened noticeably, and then he uttered a faint "hmm".

Cheng Songan was stunned for a moment, then he understood. Although Cheng Wanxin was not married yet, it was very close to her, which was no different from being married.
