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

Cui Yuanqing leaned to the side without opening his eyes, and said with displeasure: "Everything that happened in the past is in the past, no need to mention it again."

Even though he was lying there, from the tricky angle that Cheng Songan saw while sitting at the dressing table, he was still handsome with impeccable features. Whether one had feelings for him or not, one would inevitably be moved by his profile.

Cheng Songan was stunned. She had asked him this on purpose, meaning that Cheng Wanxin was already engaged and would be getting married soon, and they were still in contact, so she couldn't blame her for putting that man in her heart again. He was unkind and unjust to her, so she couldn't blame her for thinking about someone else.

She never expected Cui Yuanqing to directly say that this was all in the past. He had been obsessed with Cheng Wanxin for ten years in his previous life, and in this life he let her go just because she was going to marry someone else? This was not his style. Cui Yuanqing would not give up until he got what he wanted and who he wanted.

Cheng Songan asked in disbelief: "Can you really just treat it as a bygone era?"

Cui Yuanqing propped up one arm on the bed and looked at her with his face tilted to the side: "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, I just think that Master Cui is a loyal person," Cheng Songan said quietly, "You shouldn't give up just like that."

Cui Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you want me to do? Can't forget her?"

Cheng Songan sighed, "I once said that if you think I am not a good match, you can let me go home. I really mean it. One day, you will be powerful and it will be easy for you to get whoever you want. But please don't bear a grudge against me and let me go freely."

When she was reborn, she still felt that she could change a lot of things, so she immediately pushed Cheng Wanxin out. After this autumn examination, she became more and more uncertain, and she still had to leave a way out to prevent Cui Yuanqing and Cheng Wanxin from taking revenge.

Cui Yuanqing pulled up a scornful smile, put down his arms, and lay back down.

Cheng Songan was a little confused. Was he agreeing or not? From his expression, he seemed a little unconvinced. Maybe he agreed?

She tentatively said, "I can also pretend to be sick and dead, and the master will let me out quietly, and it will not harm the reputation of the master and the Cheng family."

Cui Yuanqing said coldly: "There are still so many crooked ways. I have advised you not to dream. If you provoke me again and again, I will make you regret everything you said today every day!"

Cheng Songan clenched her fists. No matter what, he was unwilling to let her go, nor to treat her well. But she was helpless and even wanted to help him go back to the path of his previous life.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Cheng Songan woke up when Cui Yuanqing was in court. He rubbed his eyes and pretended to be woken by him. He sat up and said, "Your Excellency is going to court? I just woke up. Can I ask you to do something for me?"

Cui Yuanqing didn't care. He wore his court robes meticulously and didn't ask for anyone to serve him.

Cheng Songan then said to himself, "My grandmother has a distant relative named Zheng Ji, who is originally from Taiyuan Prefecture. He came to the suburbs of Beijing two years ago. I heard that he writes very well and also participated in the autumn examination. Can you help me see if he is included in the list of candidates?"

Cui Yuanqing put on his official hat with his back to her and said nonchalantly, "The results will be revealed on the day the results are announced."

Cheng Songan said, "Forget it. I'll go check it out on the day the results are announced. It's only a few days away anyway."

After saying that, he crawled into the quilt and continued to sleep.

She only needed to tell him the name. Cui Yuanqing was good at selecting people and was very appreciative of talent. He would not let go of anyone who had the slightest possibility of being used by him. Since she had told him that this person wrote well, Cui Yuanqing would be worried if he did not see it with his own eyes.

In his previous life, when Cui Yuanqing was reviewing the papers, what satisfied him most was the policy essay written by Zheng Ji. He wrote a brilliant essay criticizing current affairs, and he was a talented and capable person who could govern the country. He asked the emperor to review the papers, mostly because of him.

In the subsequent palace examination, the emperor also appointed Zheng Ji as the second place. He started as a local county official. Whenever he was about to be promoted at the end of his term, local people would always give him umbrellas. He was a good official who truly worked hard for the people.

Cui Yuanqing said "hmm" and when he turned around, the person on the bed had fallen asleep again and didn't know if he heard it or not.

After he left, he didn't come back for three days. Cheng Songan knew that his reminder had worked.

Cui Yuanqing must have done something indirectly in front of the emperor, and got another chance to go to Qianyuan Hall privately, checked the admission articles, and then found that there were problems with these people.

Three days later in the morning, after paying his respects to Mrs. Zhang and Old Madam Yu, Cheng Songan returned to Yunxiang Pavilion.

Yulan came over and said, "After the young lady left, the daughter-in-law of Grandma Cui Si on South Street sent a message saying that she would come to see you in the afternoon."

Cheng Songan smiled slightly, and Cui Wenkang took the bait. She nodded and said, "Let them come over later. I don't have anything to do today."

Yulan agreed and went.

Things went smoothly again. Cheng Songan returned to his room in a very good mood. Suddenly, he met a pair of inquiring eyes and the smile froze on his face - why didn't anyone tell him that Cui Yuanqing was back?

"Sir, why are you back?" she asked bravely.

Cui Yuanqing sat on the imperial chair, and Qing Ling looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze: "Why can't you go back to your own house?"

Cheng Songan was feeling very nervous and just wanted to leave and call Yulan back. He couldn't let Cui Wenkang's wife come over at this time.

She smiled awkwardly: "Yes, you must be tired, take a rest, I won't disturb you."

Having said that, he turned around and was about to go out.

"Stop!" Cui Yuanqing's voice was not loud, but it was very intimidating. "Sit down!"

Cheng Songan had no choice but to slowly walk over and sit down.

Cui Yuanqing got straight to the point and asked, "Why did you imply that there was favoritism and fraud in the Autumn Examination?"

Cheng Songan's heart skipped a beat. He was so smart that he guessed his purpose so quickly.

However, only she knew the secret of her rebirth. No matter what he suspected, he could not guess it. So he calmed down and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Your Excellency said that there was cheating in the autumn examination? This is strange. When did I hint to your Excellency?"

Cui Yuanqing seemed to feel that he was being too sensitive, and said, "I met my father-in-law today, and he said that Zheng Ji grew up in Daizhou and had lost contact with your grandmother's family in Yongningzhou for a long time, so he didn't visit them when he came to the suburbs of Beijing. He asked me not to mention the Cheng family's concern for him to Zheng Ji, so that he wouldn't accept this favor in vain."

Cheng Songan nodded: "Father is very thoughtful, it should be like this, I wonder if he passed the exam this time?"

Cui Yuanqing looked at her deeply, and did not speak for a long time. He stared at her until Cheng Songan became uneasy. Then he smiled faintly and said, "I also met Zheng Ji today, but he said he was from Yizhou."

Cheng Songan was stunned. In his previous life, when the top three candidates in the palace examination were announced, the eunuch who announced the decree at Chengde Gate clearly read out the name of Zheng Ji from Daizhou. So he was actually from Yizhou?
