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

Cui Yuanqing changed his clothes and seemed to have washed his face. He felt much less tired and stood by the window listening to Cheng Songan and Xing'er talking.

"Grandpa is changing his clothes, but what's the urgent matter, grandma? I'll go over and take a look first."

Xing Er waved her hand: "Don't worry, grandma. The old lady is fine. I think she has something to tell you."

Cheng Songan then nodded to her towards the house and said, "In that case, you can go with me when Master comes out. I'll go check the things I've brought back home first, and then I'll accompany Grandma when I come back."

Xing'er was stunned for a moment. Although the old lady didn't explain, her intention was for the two of them to go to Chunhui Garden together, but the young mistress didn't seem to have any intention of accompanying the young master.

Cui Yuanqing stood in front of the window, and could hear their conversation clearly. Cheng Songan had no intention of appearing with him.

He said through the window, "Go back first and tell them I'll be there soon."

Xing'er let out an "ah", said goodbye and hurried back. She had to go back and tell them what was happening here.

Cui Yuanqing stepped out of the door and passed by Cheng Songan. She was feeding the little bird with her palms open with a comfortable smile on her face. When she saw him come out, the smile disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Songan handed the bird food in his hand to the little girl who was raising the birds, clapped his hands and said, "My lord, go and report to my grandmother. I will go to Cixian Hall to ask for my leave from my mother-in-law. I will wait for you at the second gate."

Cui Yuanqing stared into her eyes, sizing up her expression, and after a long while, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Cheng Songan, what do you want?"

Cheng Songan met his gaze calmly and replied slowly, "I don't understand what you mean, sir."

Cui Yuanqing sneered. The little maids felt a chill from his laugh and quickly lowered their heads and retreated. Together with Haitang and a few others, they silently left space for the two masters to talk.

Cui Yuanqing said, "During the three years when I was in mourning for my grandfather, you, as my unmarried granddaughter-in-law, ate vegetarian food for ten days every month at home and copied Buddhist scriptures by hand. Weren't you just trying to spread your reputation of being virtuous? Now, after only three days of marriage, you have thrown away this reputation?"

Cheng Songan clenched her palms. She just wanted to live her life quietly and forget about the past, but he had to bring it up, reminding her how foolish she was in the past. She had never done it just to gain a reputation for being virtuous, she just wanted to share the burden with him.

There was no trace of smile in her eyes anymore, and she asked back: "Then do you care? Do adults care about what I do? Is it necessary?"

Cui Yuanqing was startled and his lips moved.

Cheng Songan continued, "Since the Lord doesn't care and doesn't need my virtue, then what do I need these for?"

Cui Yuanqing was stared at by her cold eyes, and the coldness in his body was almost completely suppressed by her. She seemed to have changed a lot, and was not the same as the person she was when they got engaged.

The atmosphere between the two of them froze for a long time. Cui Yuanqing walked out, leaving a message: "It's up to you."

After Cheng Songan said these words, he felt much better, but he frightened the maids so much that they broke out in cold sweats.

Haitang whispered, "Why did the girl quarrel with her uncle?"

Cheng Songan curled his lips and said, "Who is making trouble with him? He just asked me a question and I answered him."

Haitang was about to persuade him again, but Cheng Songan interrupted her and said, "Come on, let's talk about this later. The first thing to do is to ask for your resignation from your wife."

Haitang then gave up and told the people who were going back with him to take the things for the trip back home and prepare the car at the second gate. She also arranged the matters for the people who stayed behind, and then went to Cixian Hall with Cheng Songan.

Zhang's second-class maid Yun Ping came out and said, "Madam said that she went to the old lady's room to discuss the matter of making autumn clothes, and told grandma to go directly to Chunhui Garden. She will wait there."

Cheng Songan was a little angry. He wanted to avoid any situation with Cui Yuanqing, but failed. It was very difficult to see him in the previous life, and he couldn't avoid him in this life.

She had no choice but to go to Chunhui Garden with a depressed look.

When we arrived at the moon gate at the entrance of the garden, we saw Cui Yuanqing had just arrived. When he saw Cheng Songan coming over, a look of understanding appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Cheng Songan suddenly realized that he had known that Zhang had come to Chunhui Garden, but he didn't tell her, causing her to make a wasted trip.

She had never realized that he was such a mean person and so childish before!

At this moment, Xing'er came out again. Seeing the two of them coming together, she was stunned at first, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. This was good, she didn't have to make another trip.

"The old lady and the madam are waiting," Xing'er said with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma, please go in quickly."

Cui Yuanqing hummed lightly and strode towards the garden.

Cheng Songan quickly followed him, took his arm without saying a word, and walked beside him very intimately. He never liked people to be too close to him, so she deliberately made things difficult for him.

Cui Yuanqing was caught off guard when his sleeve was grabbed. He didn't react for a moment to what she meant and was led into the main courtyard by her. The two people sitting in the room had already seen their sweet appearance.

Without waiting for Cui Yuanqing to speak, Cheng Songan greeted the two elders with a smile and sat down next to the old lady.

Cui Yuanqing seemed to be so angry that his face turned red. He greeted his grandmother and mother perfunctorily and did not even look at Cheng Songan.

Cheng Songan was so happy that she could not even express it in words. She felt happy just by making him unhappy.

Zhang looked at her son who was acting strange and asked angrily, "Where have you been these past two days? Have you forgotten that you just got married?"

The old lady had originally called him over because he hadn't returned home overnight for the past few days. She was afraid that the young couple might have had some quarrels during their marriage, but from the situation just now, it didn't seem to be the case.

So he smiled and said, "Didn't his father say that he shouldn't be blamed for what the saint had given him to do? Isn't he rushing back to accompany Yun Dai to her parents' grave?"

Cui Yuanqing didn't say anything either, just nodded.

Zhang had long been accustomed to her son's indifferent attitude. She simply said a few words about things to pay attention to when Cheng Songan returned home, and asked if everything was ready.

Cui Yuanqing also replied indifferently.

The old lady slammed her cane on the ground and said to him, "I see that you are increasingly unwilling to talk to us. Are you still like this after meeting your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Cui Yuanqing: "My grandson doesn't dare."

The old lady snorted, "Your mother has already told you everything else. I only have one thing to say. When you come back tomorrow, you are not allowed to stay out overnight. No matter how late it is, you have to come home."

Cui Yuanqing looked embarrassed. He couldn't guarantee this. The saint was easy to deal with, but there were other people who were difficult to deal with.

Cheng Songan didn't know this in his previous life, but now he knew it clearly in his mind. If he stayed in the mansion every night, who knows what his second sister would do. How could he let her be ignored so easily?

She smiled meaningfully and said, "Grandmother, please don't make things difficult for my husband. He is currently being used by the emperor, and he might be assigned something temporarily. If he is sent to another place in the future, does he have to come back every night?"

She was already loved by the old lady, and now she was speaking softly and considerately to excuse Cui Yuanqing, which made people feel that she was sensible.

The old lady held her in her arms and said, "The saint also came here when he was young. How can you bear to let him travel around all day long? Even if he is sent away in the future, you must follow him, and he must come home every night."

Cui Yuanqing calmly glanced at Cheng Songan who was acting like a spoiled child in the old lady's arms, and replied, "Grandma's words, I will keep them in mind."

Cheng Songan froze. She was originally giving him a way out, asking him not to come back to bother her if possible, but why did he agree to it?

Zhang also felt that it was inappropriate for him to not come home every night. She was not afraid that her son with such a personality would go out and have a life of debauchery, but she was afraid that if he continued like this, how long would she have to wait to have a grandson?

Then he gave another instruction: "The job is important, but you have to pay more attention to your offspring. Our Cui family has only one son for three generations. Your grandfather is watching over you from heaven."

She didn't mention herself, but used Old Master Cui as an excuse. Cui Yuanqing had nothing to say, so he just lowered his head and replied sullenly, "Son knows."

Old Madam Yu was delighted and said, "That's exactly what I wanted to say. Also, you've been running around for days and have lost a lot of weight. Yun Dai is also a weak child. I asked the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital to prepare a recipe for medicinal food to nourish you. Remember to eat it."

After that, he emphasized to Cui Yuanqing: "Your mother said that she will cook it herself and have someone bring it to your room. If you disappoint her, be careful that your father will punish you."

Cheng Songan hugged Old Lady Yu's arm and thanked her: "Grandma and mother love me, I must eat every day. If I get fat, Grandma and mother are not allowed to laugh at me."

After hearing this, Zhang and Old Lady Yu couldn't stop laughing.

Cui Yuanqing glanced at Cheng Songan calmly without saying anything. Her thin body, no matter how many pounds she gained, would still be just a bunch of bones, not a nuisance.

Thinking of this, Cui Yuanqing only felt a faint itch in his heart. How could he know if her bones were aching?
