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

Cui Yuanqing stared at the person sitting with his knees hugged for a while, then finally turned away without even looking back and walked out of the house directly.

Next, the grand fraud case began to be cleared up. First, the chief examiner Liu Boshan, Peng Kun and five others were interrogated. Liu Boshan was beheaded, and the accomplices were either exiled or demoted. There was no possibility for Prince Fu to be reinstated.

Although the autumn examination was decided, it took nearly a month to review and settle the case. The Ministry of Rites was responsible for examining the five ceremonies of auspicious, auspicious, military, guest and ominous events, managing the affairs of the court schools and colleges, the imperial examinations, and the exchanges between vassal states and foreign countries. So it was also their job to help clear up this case. As the right vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, Cui Yuanqing naturally led by example and did more than others.

During this period, Cui Yuanqing simply moved into the government office area. Cui Ziqi went to Chunhui Garden and Cixian Hall to explain how important this case was. Zhang and Yu also understood the importance of the case and naturally would not suspect that he had other feelings. Instead, they felt more pity for Cheng Songan's difficulty in staying alone in an empty room.

Cheng Songan knew in his heart that Cui Yuanqing had been resentful of her ever since they had talked it out that day, especially since she had driven him to the west wing. He went to live in the government office area this time just because he didn't want to see her. She was happy that he didn't come back. He didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to see him even more.

The autumn rain was lingering and the weather suddenly turned cold. After seeing off Cui Wenxin, who came to learn embroidery regardless of rain or shine, Cheng Songan took out his zither, listened to the sound of rain, and learned a new piece of music.

When the thought came to her, she was completely absorbed in the song. It was only when the song ended that she saw him.

"Grandma's playing the piano is getting better and better." Si Bian laughed.

Cheng Songan smiled at him faintly and asked, "Why did you come back in the rain?"

Si Bian replied, "It's cold today. I saw that grandma didn't ask anyone to deliver clothes to the government office. I thought she was busy and forgot about it, so I came back to check and didn't ask grandma's people to run in the rain."

"You are such a jokester," Cheng Songan sneered, "I'm not too busy to forget, I just didn't plan to send him any clothes, and there's no need to. Now that you're back, go to the west room with your sister Haitang and find two pieces."

Sibian broke out in a cold sweat. His master had been moody for several days. Today, someone hinted that the weather was cold and clothes were light, so he guessed that she wanted him to come back and see if Yunxiang Pavilion had prepared thick clothes. However, he didn't expect that this lady had an even worse temper than his own master.

When I first walked in, I thought grandma was the kindest person. Although she didn't care much about grandpa, at most she just wanted to play some tricks, but she didn't show her indifference directly on her face.

Why has things changed so much these days?

Si Bian smiled awkwardly: "Last year's clothes are at the bottom of the box. I think they are a little damp. Grandma, do you have any ideas?..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Songan hooked the strings of the zither heavily and said in a cold voice: "You have always arranged your master's things. Why, after I marry in, do I have to be your slave?"

Sibian was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to laugh anymore, and only begged, "Grandma, don't be angry, it's my fault."

As he said this, he slapped himself twice in the face.

Haitang stopped immediately and signaled him with her eyes to go to the west room and wait. Sibian was also smart and went there immediately in dejected manner.

"Miss, Sibian is a scare kid, why bother?" Haitang advised, "If the slap mark on his face is seen by the Madam and the Old Madam, it will cause trouble again."

Cheng Songan understood it in her heart, but she was indescribably annoyed. How could Sibian have the courage to ask her to do all these things? It must be Cui Yuanqing's intention. He was not at home, but he still wanted her to serve him. It was wishful thinking.

When she was about to change her mind and slap him, she actually regretted it in her heart. She had never treated her servants harshly since she was a child. If it weren't for Cui Yuanqing's involvement today, she wouldn't be so aggressive. Humph, it was his fault for having such a master.

Sibian found a few of Cui Yuanqing's jackets and robes, walked out slowly with his head lowered, and said to Cheng Songan carefully: "I will go to the office now, grandma, do you have any other instructions?"

Cheng Songan calmed down a bit and sneered, "Don't be so harsh. Your master, mistress, and even the old lady, have never let the servants call them slaves in front of them? Do you think I said that to disgust me?"

Sibian couldn't hold back any longer, and wiped away tears aggrievedly, saying: "Grandma's words make me... make me feel ashamed. It turns out that I said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing..."

Cheng Songan said: "Why are you crying, you useless thing? If you keep crying, nothing will happen to you."

Sibian sobbed and tried to stop.

Haitang grabbed a handful of eight-treasures golden ingots from the plate on the table and stuffed them into his purse, saying with a smile, "This plate of golden ingots was originally intended to be given to the brothers and sisters to play with at the old lady's birthday banquet. You should get a good start first."

Si Bian stood there in a daze, then quickly wiped away his tears and thanked him.

Cheng Songan ordered someone to bring out a thin coat from the storeroom and said to him, "Don't just focus on getting clothes for your master and forget about your own. But this is made of cocoon silk, so don't despise it."

There was no need to dislike someone who wanted to change. He immediately forgot about the grievances he had just suffered and smiled happily. Sometimes he was so naive that he didn't seem like Cui Yuanqing at all.

Cheng Songan sent him away and continued playing the piano.

Sibian quietly asked Taxue in the corridor: "Grandma, is this a new song you learned? I have never heard it before."

Taxue rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have been serving in the master's room for so long, how come you can't even understand the conversation between the fisherman and the woodcutter?"

Si Bian stopped talking awkwardly, returned to the government office, sorted out Cui Yuanqing's clothes, and complained: "My Lord, how can this government office be so busy? You even specially stayed here. I think it would be okay to stay at home for a while."

Cui Yuanqing glanced at the things he had prepared. They were the same as last year, and he hadn't even taken them out to air them out in advance. She really didn't intend to maintain her reputation as a good wife, and she didn't want to bother with him at all.

Just as he was about to speak, he found that Sibian was wearing new clothes. He had never seen him like this before and he never paid attention to what he wore, but today he always felt that this piece of clothing was different from his usual ones.

Seeing him looking at his new coat, Si Bian said happily, "Sir, what do you think of this coat? It was given to me by my grandmother. The stitches are really fine, much better than those sold outside."

"She is considerate of you!" Cui Yuanqing said impatiently with a dark face.

Si Bian scratched his head and said, "Grandpa, grandma has always been very kind to us people. She is also very kind. She even learned a new song to play today."

Cui Yuanqing closed his eyes, not wanting to listen anymore, but couldn't help asking, "What did you play?"

He replied as if he was thinking of a change and offering a treasure: "Ask the fisherman and the woodcutter."

"Get out!" Cui Yuanqing could no longer bear it and uttered a few words.

The gains and losses, right and wrong of a thousand years, are all left to the words of the fisherman and woodcutter - she is quite content with this.
