Cheng Songan thought to himself that this was not good. He had just fooled around with Zheng Ji, and now Cui Wenkang showed up. A man with a brain like Cui Yuanqing would definitely think of the three generations returning to the clan that he had told him about a few days ago.
The way he looked at himself at this moment said it all.
At the beginning, for fear of arousing his suspicion, she deliberately did not mention that in the idea of "getting rid of the father and keeping the son", the father had already been removed and it was the son who had to be returned to the clan. Otherwise, he would have guessed it early on.
Cui Yuanqing asked thoughtfully, "Is this what you heard in the teahouse?"
"I thought there were many gossipers in the teahouse and that everything was hearsay, but I didn't expect that such a thing would really happen." Cheng Songan responded casually without looking at his face.
She just lowered her head and hugged Qi Jie'er to eat the fruit. Qi Jie'er was flattered. After eating the fruit, she was happy and stretched out her little mouth to kiss her.
When Zhou saw this, she was horrified and quickly stood up to apologize: "Don't blame me, auntie, this child has no manners."
Cheng Songan's heart melted when she kissed her. In her previous life, she had only raised one boy, Yongger, who was already five or six years old when she raised him. Not only was he not close to her, he was also very arrogant and rude. He was nothing like Qijie, who was so lovely and cute.
She opened her eyes wide and subconsciously said to Cui Yuanqing: "She kissed me!"
She spoke as if it were some big deal. Seeing the joy that was about to overflow from her eyes, Cui Yuanqing felt suddenly warm in his heart and nodded.
Cheng Songan hugged Qi Jie'er tightly, put his face close to hers, and said to Zhou: "How old is she? What rules are there to follow? Are you pregnant again?"
Zhou blushed and nodded shyly.
Cheng Songan took the opportunity to say to Cui Yuanqing, "My husband, I heard that the fourth grandmother is not short of money, but her son is not doing his job properly. Why don't you give him a job and let mother take care of him? Maybe he will have a bright future."
Zhou looked at her gratefully. Her husband, Cui Wenkang, was a prodigal son. The little savings of her mother-in-law had been squandered long ago, and there were still several mouths to feed at home. But the new young lady maintained her mother-in-law's dignity and got a job for her husband. She was truly virtuous as her reputation had said.
Cui Wenxin didn't expect Cheng Songan to be so easy to talk to. She immediately stepped forward, bowed seriously, and said, "Aunt, I thank you on behalf of my mother."
Cheng Songan smiled and said, "What are you talking about? As long as you are still surnamed Cui, you are a family. Why should we talk about the word thank you? Don't you agree, Sister Qi?"
The last sentence was directed at Sister Qi, who nodded naively.
When Cui Yuanqing heard "As long as you still have the surname Cui", he looked at her again calmly, and there was nothing he didn't understand.
Cheng Songan paid no attention to his look, she never knew a child could be so cute, and told Haitang to get a small white jade necklace and put it around her neck. The little girl immediately looked like the wealthy grandmother Cui Si when she was a child.
She sighed in her heart, if Fourth Grandma could find a husband who is of equal status to her family, the family could maintain its former glory. However, the world is difficult and women do not marry. If they want to find a son-in-law to continue their family name, they can only look for a lower class.
Cui Yuanqing was originally examining her, but he saw that the way she looked at Qi Jie'er was so gentle that it almost burst into tears. A strange feeling surged in his chest - if they had a child, she might be a hundred times happier than she is now.
"Tell your brother to go to Cixian Hall to ask the madam for a job tomorrow, and tell her that it was my order." Cui Yuanqing's tone softened unconsciously as he said to Cui Wenxin.
Cheng Songan was immersed in playing with Qi Jie'er. He couldn't help but hold her in front of Cui Yuanqing and said in her tone, "Grandpa arranged a job for your father. Qi Jie'er, do you want to thank Grandpa?"
Sister Qi chuckled, stretched out her neck and arms to hug Cui Yuanqing, and scared Zhou so much that she was at a loss what to do.
But Cui Yuanqing unexpectedly did not dodge. Instead, he reached out and took Qi Jie'er over. His movements were stiff and his face was serious, but Qi Jie'er was not afraid of him.
Cui Wenxin smiled and said, "Sister Qi now looks like she and her uncle and aunt are a family of three."
Only then did Cheng Songan realize Cui Yuanqing's abnormality. She had no children in her previous life, and Cui Yuanqing never said anything. She thought he was indifferent to her and therefore didn't care. But now she thought about it, after Yong Ge'er approached the mansion, he didn't seem to have taken the initiative to hug her.
His own son would have a grumpy face, but this distant relative, several generations apart, could evoke his father's love, which was really amazing.
Maybe he was holding her too stiffly and the child was uncomfortable. After a while, Sister Qi twisted and turned, asking Cheng Songan to hold her.
Cui Yuanqing brushed off his robes and said unnaturally, "When you have time, bring the children in to play more often. The old ancestor likes lively occasions."
Cui Wen said happily: "We are afraid of causing trouble, so we dare not come."
Cheng Songan frowned, "It would be better if you could stay with Sister Qi. By the way, how are you? Doctor Sun in our mansion is an expert in gynecology. Why don't we ask him to take your pulse later?"
In her previous life, after Zhou gave birth to Qi Jie'er, she became pregnant twice, but the pregnancy was not preserved. It was not until the end that she gave birth to a boy, and Cui Wenkang forced the boy to change his surname to his father's.
Normally, Zhou's pregnancy could not be saved, but since it happened, we have to find out the reason.
As expected, Cui Wenxin said with a worried look on her face: "My sister-in-law doesn't want to make mother worry, but she doesn't say it. In fact, I know that she is in great pain."
Cheng Songan frowned.
Cui Yuanqing said, "Let Sibian bring Doctor Sun in to take a look."
Zhou thanked him with great trepidation.
Cui Wen's eyes ached, and he almost shed tears. He choked and said, "Uncle, I don't have anything to give you now. I can only say thank you very much."
Cui Yuanqing snorted: "You were competitive when you were little, but why are you crying now that you've grown up? Besides, uncle is just uncle, what's the meaning of little uncle?"
Cui Wenxin burst into laughter and said, "My young aunt is young and beautiful. I don't want to call her aunt. She can't be called older than her. I just call her my young aunt. I insist on calling you my young uncle to match her! Little uncle, didn't you say before that you would return my things after my young aunt got married?"
Cui Yuanqing's face darkened and he glared at her. Cui Wenxin curled her lips but was not afraid.
Cheng Songan chuckled when he heard this. Who could have thought that a clever little girl could make Cui Yuanqing speechless.
Cui Yuanqing coughed lightly and said, "I have something else to do. Don't mention our childhood anymore."
The man had already walked out of the door, but he looked at Cui Wenxin with a threatening look.
After he left, Zhou heaved a sigh of relief and said to her sister-in-law, "Why do you say anything? How can you talk to your uncle like that?"
Cheng Songan was also a little curious: "Everyone is afraid of him, why do you dare to argue with him?"
