As soon as Cheng Songan saw his face, a completely different look from that at night emerged in his mind. How could someone be so noble and arrogant during the day, but have a bit of evil in him once he got into bed?

Seeing that she ignored him, Cui Yuanqing sneered: "Why don't you speak?"

Cheng Songan was annoyed that he forced her to beg for mercy last night and bit her again in the morning, so she said unhappily, "You owe me."

Cui Yuanqing seemed to be so angry that he laughed. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Taxue carrying Qi Jie'er into the yard and facing him. He quickly lowered his head and walked in front of Cheng Songan.

Last night, Taxue and Mudan lost their master on the street and happened to run into Cui Yuanqing, which made him very angry. Fortunately, he was in a hurry to find them and did not scold them in the street, so they were afraid when they saw him.

But Cui Yuanqing seemed to have forgotten about it. When he saw her holding Qi Jie'er, he actually reached out his hand to tease her. Qi Jie'er recognized him, stuck out her tongue and waved her hands, saying, "I want my aunt to hold me."

"Oh, that's not your aunt, that's your grandmother." Zhou came after him and scolded him in a low voice, "The one behind is your aunt."

Cui Wenxin followed behind and said with a smile: "Sister Qi sees that my aunt is young and the same age as me, so she doesn't know these generations."

Cui Yuanqing said: "Just like you, disrespectful."

Cheng Songan had already taken Sister Qi over, hugged her and kissed her, then said with a smile, "Come on Sister Qi, we won't listen to him, come and see the flowers."

Zhou said, "These are what Wenkang saw when he went to Bianliang City. He selected a few pots and sent them over to show Madam and Aunt."

Cheng Songan nodded: "This pot of goose feather powder is the most beautiful, Kang Ge'er is thoughtful."

Hearing that she was satisfied, Zhou felt relieved.

Cui Wenxin, who was standing by, had sharp eyes. Cheng Songan was squatting and holding Sister Qi in her arms. Whenever she lowered her head or nodded, she could see blue or purple spots on her collar. She asked curiously, "Aunt, why are you injured?"

When she asked this, Zhou also looked over. After just one glance, her face turned red and she said to Cui Wenxin angrily, "Where is the injury? Don't talk nonsense."

Cheng Songan immediately stood up awkwardly and pulled his collar unnaturally. Seeing Zhou's teasing look, he was too embarrassed to say a word and could only glare at Cui Yuanqing with a red face.

Cui Yuanqing coughed dryly and walked out: "I have something else to do in the study."

Cui Wenxin didn't understand, she just felt that something was fishy, ​​so she stepped forward to stop him and asked rather unfairly: "Who dares to fight with my aunt? Uncle, did you bully her?"

Cui Yuanqing was slightly embarrassed, but he was always strict, and just one look at Cui Wenxin made her momentum weaken.

But Cui Wenxin was still unconvinced and whispered, "Just wait and see if I don't tell the old ancestor."

Cheng Songan was very embarrassed, and she and Zhou pulled her into the house, one on each side. After Cui Yuanqing left, she said, "It was Haitang who scraped my skin and caused it."

Cui Wenxin was relieved, and took out a jade pendant from his bosom, saying, "This is for my uncle, to thank him for delivering the document to the Patrol Department for my brother. When he returns from Bianliang at the end of the month, he can go and seek a job."

Cui Yuanqing acted quickly. Before Cui Wenkang finished purchasing flowers, he had already found a job for him in the Patrol Department.

In the capital city, at the feet of the emperor, where a brick falling from the city wall could knock down a group of fifth-rank officials, the Patrol Office was not a proud place to work. However, as it was responsible for inspecting and supervising the streets of the capital, ordinary people could not enter casually. Only those recommended by officials with clean family backgrounds could enter.

However, Cui Wenkang might not know that by doing this, he would lose the possibility of returning to his ancestral clan and changing back to his father's surname for three generations.

Cheng Songan nodded, without even looking at the string, and just took the pickled rouge goose breast from the plate and gave it to Qi Jie'er to eat, smiling and saying, "Why didn't you give it to him yourself just now?"

Cui Wen thought to himself, "Just now I thought your wound was caused by your uncle. I wronged him. Besides, I made him a similar one when he was a child. He said he gave it to someone. I asked him who he gave it to, but he just wouldn't tell me. In my opinion, he might have used it to become sworn brothers with some stinky man."

In the past few years, people with similar interests would give each other or exchange their personal belongings to become sworn brothers.

Cheng Songan set his eyes on the silk cord and was stunned for a moment. This cord was different from the stone-blue one in his dressing table, except for the color. It looked like they were made by the same person, and even the patterns and patterns were the same.

Cui Wenxin saw that she looked strange, rubbed her fingers, and said a little embarrassedly: "Excuse me, little auntie, I haven't done this for many years, I am not good at it."

Cheng Songan said calmly, "There is a jade pendant in the bottom drawer of my dressing table. Just take it out and tie it on."

Cui Wenxin really went there, opened the drawer, and after just one look, she couldn't help but shout, "Aunt, it turns out that this silk cord is with you. It wasn't given to some stinky man. I have wronged my uncle again."

Cheng Songan's hand holding the goose breast trembled. It turned out that the necklace belonged to Cui Yuanqing, and he was the one who gave it to that person.

Cui Yuanqing is a proud man, how could he do such a vulgar thing as sworn brotherhood with anyone? But since that man has won Cui Yuanqing's favor, how come he has remained unknown for so many years? I saw him on the street last night, and he looked like a chivalrous knight.

On the other hand, since he had given the necklace to someone else, it was impossible for him not to recognize it. That was to say, he knew from the beginning that he was thinking about someone else, and that person was not Lu Qingshan, but he always blamed Lu Qingshan.

Thinking of this, Cheng Songan became a little restless. What exactly did Cui Yuanqing mean?

Cui Wenxin had already fastened the jade pendant, and waved it towards the dazed Cheng Songan, saying, "Look, it's quite a match."

Cheng Songan looked at her index finger and thumb, which were slightly deformed and had a few needle holes that had not healed properly. He knew that she had taken on a lot of needlework to help her mother and sister-in-law make a living over the years because of her disappointing brother.

She changed the subject and said, "I have nothing to do. Take Qi Jie'er and Haitang to the storehouse to find two pieces of satin. I haven't been feeling well these days, so I need you to embroider a pattern for me."

Cui Wenxin was a simple-minded person. When she heard that she could help, she immediately took Qi Jie'er there.

After they left, Cheng Songan asked Zhou: "Have you taken medicine recently? If you don't have enough ginseng, just come to me for it."

Mrs. Zhou bowed quickly and said, "Why do we need so much? Doctor Sun's medical skills are excellent. I have been taking the medicine for the past few days and I feel more active and the pregnancy is stable."

Cheng Songan nodded: "You and the child are fine, and Kang Ge'er will have a job outside."

Zhou looked a little embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Doctor Sun said that I'm pregnant with a boy."

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "Congratulations then. Your mother-in-law can rest assured now."

Zhou was not very happy: "It's just that Wenkang secretly discussed with me, saying that before my father-in-law passed away, he left a will that if we have a boy, we must change his family's original surname to Hu, so as to be worthy of our ancestors."

Cheng Songan sneered in his heart, as expected, his true colors were revealed early.
