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

These are not important. Cheng Songan said without changing his expression: "Father is old, so it is possible that he remembered it wrongly."

Cui Yuanqing raised the corners of his lips, frowned meaningfully at her, and said slowly: "In fact, my father-in-law did not attend the court today."

Cheng Songan's heartbeat suddenly quickened. Yesterday, she secretly sent someone to pass a message to her mother, asking her to make sure to say that Zheng Ji was a distant relative of her grandmother. She was also thankful that he and her grandmother were both from Taiyuan Prefecture, so no one would doubt that her father might indeed say such a thing.

But my father did not attend the court, so how did Cui Yuanqing know?

"Why don't you ask your father-in-law why he didn't attend the court?" Cui Yuanqing stared at her and asked, not missing any of her expressions.

Cheng Songan then asked nervously, "Is father ill? Why didn't he go to court?"

Cui Yuanqing did not answer, but said to Mudan and Qiangwei who were standing in the corner: "Master has been talking here for half a day, don't you even know how to bring a cup of tea?"

No wonder no one told her that Cui Yuanqing had returned. It turned out that he had kept Peony and Rose in the house, and when she went to the front yard, she only brought Begonia and Taxue.

Peony and Rose lowered their heads and whispered, "Yes."

After saying this, the two of them secretly glanced at Cheng Songan, feeling helpless, and left without saying a word. After a while, they brought up a pot of Qinglu tea that had been brewed twice.

Cui Yuanqing calmly took the tea they had prepared, raised the cup to his lips and blew gently. His long eyelashes covered his eyes, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

Cheng Songan didn't ask any more questions. At this moment, saying more would only make more mistakes.

Cui Yuanqing took a sip and put it down, saying to her, "You knew your father-in-law was not ill, so you are not in a hurry."

Cheng Songan was startled. It turned out that her forced calmness exposed her emotions. She quickly reacted: "Your Excellency regards my father as your own father, and also as your teacher and elder. When I saw that Your Excellency was not in a hurry, I knew that it was nothing serious."

Cui Yuanqing snorted, "Yes, my father-in-law is not sick, and he did not miss the court."

Cheng Songan immediately understood that Cui Yuanqing was deceiving her. Zheng Ji was not from Yizhou at all. He was definitely from Daizhou.

When she thought of this, she regained her composure and said calmly, "Your Excellency's words today are very strange. I seldom go out, and I have hardly seen outsiders except the Cheng family. Your Excellency can't find out, so do you suspect that I have ulterior motives?"

Cui Yuanqing replied solemnly: "It is because you seldom go out and see people that it is abnormal for you to know these things."

Cheng Songan's heart tightened. Did he discover something? No, rebirth was unheard of. If it hadn't happened to her, she would never believe it. He wouldn't have discovered it.

"I don't understand what you mean, sir." Cheng Songan simply stood up, "If you think I'm abnormal, why don't you confine me to my room?"

Cui Yuanqing snorted: "Li Wenbin, your subordinate, has met Lu Qingshan twice."

It turned out that he had discovered Li Wenbin's contact with Lu Qingshan. Cheng Songan breathed a sigh of relief. She had never intended to hide this matter. She just wanted to use him to investigate something. She was open and honest with Lu Qingshan and was not afraid of him knowing.

"If you think it's inappropriate for my people to meet Lu Qingshan," Cheng Songan said with a smile, "then I will go there myself next time."

The air around Cui Yuanqing suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were filled with hostility: "Cheng Songan!"

Cheng Songan was not afraid of him getting angry, but was afraid that he would speculate about her secrets gloomily. She asked with a smile: "Why do you hate Lu Qingshan so much? Could it be that he also likes your sweetheart?"

Cui Yuanqing's face was horribly dark, and he slammed his palm heavily on the table, causing the pot of Qinglu tea to fall and break into pieces. He stood up suddenly, without asking any more questions, and walked away directly.

Cheng Songan was shocked. In this life, Lu Qingshan had clearly said that he didn't like Cheng Wanxin, so why was Cui Yuanqing still so afraid of him? If it was because of court affairs, that was even more impossible. The two of them, one civil and one military, were in charge of completely different political affairs, but their attitudes towards the Rongdi were surprisingly consistent.

Could it be that Lu Qingshan finally developed feelings for Cheng Wanxin?

"Ah, who made my uncle so angry?" A crisp chuckle made Cui Yuanqing pause.

Everyone in the yard held their breath, fearing that Cui Yuanqing's anger would fall on them. Only the man who was clinging to the door frame was not afraid and was smiling.

Cheng Songan looked at Cui Wenxin. In this life, she was only a 14-year-old girl, only a few months older than her third sister. She was cute and lovely. According to the seniority, Cui Yuanqing was her uncle. But even without this seniority, those side branches and relatives on South Street were not afraid of him.

When she came here in her previous life, Cui Yuanqing was rarely in the backyard, so Cheng Songan was a little surprised that she was not afraid of him.

She quickly called Cui Wenxin into the room and asked, "Are you Wenxin?"

Cui Wenxin was a little surprised: "Aunt knows me?"

Having said that, he quickly ran to the door and shouted outside, "Sister-in-law, come in. I told you before that the wife my uncle married is the most amiable."

A round little head with two pigtails popped out from the door. It was three-year-old Qi Jie'er, followed by her mother Zhou.

Zhou came forward, took Qi Jie'er and respectfully bowed to Cheng Song'an, saying, "Greetings to auntie, Qi Jie'er, kowtow to grandma."

Sister Qi looked at Cheng Songan's young and beautiful face and was stunned for a moment, just staring at her blankly.

Cui Wenxin smiled and said, "Little aunt, don't be surprised. The child has never seen the world and is fascinated by how beautiful your aunt is."

Cui Yuanqing, who had already reached the inner room, walked out again. When he heard Cui Wenxin's words, he sneered as if he had heard a joke.

Zhou knelt down quickly.

Cheng Songan personally pulled her and said, "Hurry up and ignore him. Your uncle has this kind of temper. Look, Wenxin is not afraid of him."

As he spoke, he held Qi Jie'er on his lap again, and told Haitang to take out the fruits that Old Lady Yu had given her, and picked a few for her to eat.

Cui Wenxin smiled and said, "My uncle didn't have this temper when he was a child. He was a nerd. No children in the clan wanted to play with him, so I was the only one who paid attention to him. He then secretly gave me a lot of fun things and begged me to play with him. I even made him a lot of fan covers and jade pendants."

Cheng Songan had no idea that Cui Yuanqing had such a miserable childhood, and couldn't help but laugh.

Cui Yuanqing also showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but it soon disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "I see that you are almost fifteen, and you haven't got engaged yet?"

When Cui Wenxin heard this, he immediately became depressed and muttered, "Uncle, we came here today to ask you for something serious."

Cui Yuanqing calmly sat down on the main seat and said calmly, "Are you here to ask for a job for your brother?"

Zhou was a very honest woman. After hearing this, she felt uneasy but did not dare to ask.

Cui Wenxin clapped her hands and said, "My little uncle is still so smart. That's right, my sister-in-law is pregnant again, and the doctor said it's a boy, so my brother is planning to do something serious so as not to bring shame to our ancestors."

Cui Yuanqing frowned: "Why didn't he embarrass our ancestors earlier..."

Having said that, he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Cheng Songan again.
