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

Cui Wenxin explained: "My uncle started to learn at the age of three, and went to study at Suiyang Academy at the age of five. He was the youngest in the academy, but he was the most talented one. It was a pity that although he was good at studying, he didn't understand the ways of the world, which made many people jealous and excluded him."

"There was no one to keep him company in the academy, and he was the only one in the Cui Mansion, without even a sister. No one in South Street dared to mess around with him. I was ignorant at that time, and I felt sorry for him, so I went to play with him."

"Although my uncle doesn't talk much, he is a very kind person. He often brings me new and interesting things from the mansion. I don't have anything to give him, so I make some fan covers, embroider a purse, make a jade pendant and other things for him. He doesn't mind and brings them every day."

Cheng Songan had seen Cui Yuanqing as the Prime Minister in his previous life, with great power. He had also seen him planning strategies now, but he could not imagine that he would be in such a situation when he was a child. He was actually a little pitiful.

"Then why don't you come to see him more often now?" Cheng Songan asked. In his previous life, Cui Wenxin and Cui Yuanqing had hardly met each other, and the two were not as harmonious as they are now.

Cui Wenxin also sighed: "My mother said that even if we are siblings, there are still differences between men and women, and we can't fight or play around anymore. Besides, my uncle is a man who does important things, so I can't disturb him."

Cheng Songan sighed secretly. In his previous life, whenever Cui Wenxin came to the mansion, Cui Yuanqing was not in the backyard. When she was about to get married, the battle for the throne between Prince Xiang and Prince Shou was in a stalemate, and Cui Yuanqing had no time to take care of all the trivial matters at home.

"If you have any troubles in the future, just tell me the same thing."

Cheng Songan could never forget that when she was seriously ill in her previous life, no one entered Yunxiang Pavilion, but Cui Wenxin and Zhou often came to see her, comforted her, and served her medicine. They were miserable people who were trapped in the quagmire themselves, but they still had good intentions towards her, so she would never let them repeat the same mistakes in this life.

After hearing this, Zhou felt her eyes tingling. She took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes and agreed in a low voice.

Cui Wenxin stood there for a long while, then suddenly asked, "Aunt, you are so kind. Uncle doesn't blame you now, right?"

"Wenxin!" Zhou quickly scolded her, "How can you say these things in front of aunt?"

Cheng Songan smiled indifferently. The fact that Cui Yuanqing didn't want to marry her was no secret. It had spread all over the capital before she heard it.

She smiled faintly and said, "What if it's strange or not?"

Cui Wenxin also felt that she shouldn't have mentioned what happened in the past. It turned out that the look on Cui Yuanqing's face when he was leaving was to remind her not to talk about it. That meant he didn't want to mention it again and make his aunt angry, which meant he didn't blame her anymore.

She suddenly realized something and said, "I understand now. Back then, before you got engaged, my uncle once lost something I gave him. I got angry, and he said he would make a new one for me after my aunt got married. It turns out that my uncle had fallen in love with my aunt at that time!"

Cheng Songan was stunned and said with a smile: "He was just teasing you. I didn't know him before we got engaged."

Cui Wenxin shook her head in disbelief: "He whispered to me that she was a girl from the Cheng family."

Cheng Songan just laughed it off. It turned out that he had fallen in love with Cheng Wanxin at that time. He didn't marry the person he wanted to marry, but instead married her own sister. Anyone would feel resentful.

She didn't want to talk about it anymore and turned the topic to Cui Wenkang's job.

"Let him go to Madam's place and get a job buying chrysanthemums," Cheng Songan said. "If he does a good job, he will have some free time after this trip so that he can concentrate on his studies."

Cui Wenxin sneered and said, "My brother is not good at studying. If we ask him to study, he might as well be teaching a monkey."

Cheng Songan was amused and laughed, then said seriously: "It's okay, just be able to read, you have to show your ability first, otherwise your uncle will find him a proper job in the future, and it will give him a reason, right?"

When Zhou heard that Cui Yuanqing was willing to take the trouble to find a proper job for her husband, she immediately sat up and listened. This was better than making a living in the backyard, so she promised, "I will go back and persuade him with my mother-in-law."

Cheng Songan nodded and invited them to have lunch.

Afterwards, Sibian brought Doctor Sun in, who took Zhou's pulse. It turned out that her baby was born with congenital deficiencies, and she was worried too much, which led to fetal restlessness. She needed to use angelica, white atractylodes, peony, rehmannia and donkey-hide gelatin to make a tonic soup. After taking a few doses, she would be fine.

Cheng Songan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out not to be a serious illness. But he realized that in their current situation, they could not afford to take ginseng, or even other common herbs every day, and Zhou was afraid of causing trouble to the family, so she endured it blindly, and that was why she could not keep the child.

She looked at Zhou and saw that she was sitting very uncomfortably and looked distracted. She must be worried about taking medicine.

Cheng Songan smiled softly: "What a coincidence, I have a ginseng root here that is about to expire, and I don't know what to do with it. If you don't mind, take it and eat it."

Zhou was stunned. She never expected that she was so thoughtful. How could the ginseng lose its effect by such a coincidence? She must have said that on purpose because she was afraid that she was overthinking. She couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.

Cui Wenxin was also very grateful and quietly wiped away her sister-in-law's tears.

When Qi Jieer saw her mother crying, she also started to cry anxiously. Cheng Songan quickly stood up and hugged her to comfort her, and then said to them: "No matter how good the medicine is, it is just medicine. You are fine, can you take it for nothing? If you take it, it will eliminate the disaster for me, and I should thank you, but why are you crying? Look, you made our Qi Jieer cry. If you continue like this, you are not allowed to enter the Yunxiang Pavilion in the future!"

Zhou wiped her tears. She felt even more grateful in her heart that he refused to accept her thanks even though he did so much for her.

Cheng Songan took the opportunity to say, "If you can persuade those young men on South Street to make progress, and help your uncle support the Cui family in the future, wouldn't that be great?"

Zhou and Cui Wenxin were both sensible people. After hearing this, they went back and told each family what Cheng Songan had said. If they were willing to study hard, the old lady in the Cui Mansion would be the first to support them.

In their family, Cui Wenkang is not capable, so they must raise a child who can take charge.

At night, Cheng Songan sat in a daze under the lamp. Haitang put down the curtain for her and said, "Miss, why do you have to worry so much? Miss Xin and her sister-in-law are good friends, but Cui Wenkang has bad intentions. It's useless to worry about him. He may not appreciate it."

Cheng Songan said: "Not only should we take care of him, but we should also find him a better job."

Haitang was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "If you climb high, you will fall hard. If you don't let him climb up first, how can you make him fall harder?"

Haitang was even more confused: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Songan held his chin and sighed, "I saw Sister Qi today and really liked her so much that I wanted her to have a good future and not be dragged down by such a father."

Haitang also smiled: "Sister Qi is indeed cute."

Cheng Songan's eyes sparkled, and he looked up and said, "Haitang, I want a child too."
