Cheng Songan wanted to keep Cheng Wanxin, but he couldn't let his mother know, otherwise she would get more angry than her third sister and explode in the Cui Mansion, which would be bad.

She moved to Feng's side, hugged her arms, and softened her tone: "Mother married father when she was a teenager. She didn't see my aunt and uncle for several years, and she missed them all the time. Why don't you feel sorry for your daughter?"

Feng couldn't stand her acting like a spoiled brat, so she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and sighed, "That's fine, but don't let Jin Ning mess around."

Cheng Songan quickly agreed. She glanced at Cheng Wanxin from the corner of her eye. She let out a slight breath, her eyes respectful and gentle, no longer showing any joy or expectation.

After seeing Feng off, Cheng Jinning no longer restrained herself and had a great time playing with two maids of the same age, Mudan and Taxue, in Yunxiang Pavilion. Cui Wenxin happened to come over and since she had a rare day off without having to learn embroidery, she joined in the fun.

After Haitang and Yulan brought the Lushan Cloud Tea to the two people in the inner room, they also led Xiangcheng out. Cheng Songan and Cheng Wanxin blew away the tea leaves gently and sat in silence.

After a while, Cheng Wanxin put down the tea bowl and said to Cheng Songan with a bright smile: "Sister, I heard that the saint asked Master Cui to go to Jiangnan yesterday. Master specially asked to wait until after Grandmother's birthday to go."

It turns out there are such twists and turns. Who else could it be if it wasn't Cui Yuanqing who told her? He didn't say a word to his wife. Cheng Songan smiled and said, "Second sister, why are you so polite? You should call me brother-in-law."

Cheng Wanxin clenched her hands, hid her nails in her palms, smiled and replied, "Yes. My brother-in-law is so filial, it's really rare. I'm so lucky to marry such a perfect husband."

Cheng Songan couldn't guess what kind of mood she was in when she said these words to her. The relationship between the sisters had become so absurd that two women were fighting for one man. It could only be seen in the storybook.

She also smiled: "Yes, I am blessed, but with the character and appearance of my second sister, the blessings will come later."

Cheng Wanxin smiled faintly at first, then frowned and said, "It's just that, knowing that Jiangnan is full of dangers, my brother-in-law still wants to take my sister with him. It's a bit inappropriate. Doesn't he have someone useful around him? Does he have to ignore my sister's health and take her there to take care of him?"

What she said was indeed correct. Cui Yuanqing was so moody. In his previous life, she cared for him and took care of him, but he didn't take it seriously. Now he didn't want to care about him in this life, but he was unwilling to accept it and insisted on keeping him by his side to torture him.

"Who said it wasn't?" Cheng Songan smiled, "Fortunately, my grandmother loves me and won't let me go with her."

Cheng Wanxin smiled meaningfully, then picked up the tea bowl again and sipped the tea elegantly.

After a while, the noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet. Cheng Songan asked Haitang outside with concern: "Watch the Third Miss carefully and don't let her go out and cause trouble!"

Before Haitang could answer, Cui Yuanqing opened the curtain and came in, followed by Cheng Jining and Cui Wenxin.

Cui Yuanqing entered the inner room and met Cheng Wanxin's gaze. He shifted his gaze somewhat unnaturally and said in a calm voice, "Second sister."

Having said that, he sat down on the main seat of the chaise longue.

Cheng Wanxin stood up and greeted him, without looking at him again, and sat down quietly again.

Others looking at the two of them could not see anything wrong, but Cheng Songan looked at Cui Yuanqing teasingly, with an undisguised smile in his eyes.

Cui Yuanqing turned his head slightly and glared at her fiercely from an angle where only she could see.

Cheng Songan pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "Why are you here now, sir? Have you seen off all the guests?"

Cui Yuanqing actually smiled at her. He was handsome to begin with, but he cultivated his character and rarely showed his emotions. Even when he smiled, it was cold and sneerful. It was rare that he made people feel so warm.

Cheng Songan almost dazzled his eyes. Was he so gentle because Cheng Wanxin was here?

Cui Yuanqing said, "I was supposed to come over to see my mother-in-law again, but I got caught up in something. I didn't expect that she had already gone back."

Cheng Songan looked at his pretending to be calm and nodded to Cheng Wanxin: "Well, mother is gone, but my second sister is still here."

Cheng Wanxin smiled faintly, nodded gracefully, and said nothing.

Cui Yuanqing looked over her head and nodded: "In this case, you sisters can talk for a while. You can send someone to tell mother to clean up two guest rooms in Cixian Hall for the two aunts to stay."

Cheng Songan almost thought he had misheard. He tilted his head and asked with an expression that only the two of them could see, "Why are you troubling mother again? Don't we have vacant rooms in our courtyard? Why go to a far place?"

Cui Yuanqing lowered his eyes with a strange look on his face: "It's not very convenient."

Cheng Songan asked, "What's the inconvenience?"

Cui Yuanqing reached out and straightened her tilted head, then gently tapped her head and said expressionlessly, "Be more serious."

Cheng Songan was so startled by his natural and warm action that he stepped back and couldn't help but look at Cheng Wanxin's face, as if she was Cui Yuanqing's legal wife and he was a concubine who had suddenly become favored.

She secretly thought that she was useless, always thinking that he and Cheng Wanxin were a couple having an affair, but she forgot that she was the real hostess.

Cheng Wanxin's eyes were a little lost, but it disappeared in a flash, and there was still a hint of mockery on the corner of her mouth.

Cheng Songan suddenly understood that if he lived in this courtyard, with a room full of maids and old women watching over him, it would be inconvenient for him to go look for her at night. It would be much more convenient to go to Cixian Hall.

She sneered. He wanted to embarrass her under her nose, but that was impossible!

Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Jining, who was sweating profusely from playing, poked his head out from the side and stared at Cui Yuanqing with a pair of big, shiny black eyes, "Hey! Brother-in-law of the Cui family."

Cheng Songan burst into laughter and waved her over: "Child, a brother-in-law is a brother-in-law, what Cui family brother-in-law."

Cheng Jinning climbed onto the chaise longue and snuggled into Cheng Songan's arms, feeling somewhat hostile towards Cui Yuanqing: "I have two sisters, so naturally I also have two brothers-in-law. You are Cui's brother-in-law, and you will have Jin's brother-in-law in the future."

Cui Yuanqing was not angry at all, and asked with a smile: "Why did you call me?"

Cheng Jinning had always relied on her elder sister, and felt that Cui Yuanqing had snatched her sister away. She always treated him as a vicious and annoying person, but she didn't expect him to be so gentle, so her anger subsided by half, and she asked, "Are you good to my sister?"

Cui Yuanqing's expression froze. He raised his eyelids and blinked lightly, then looked at Cheng Songan again.

"Young uncle is naturally good to young aunt," Cui Wenxin, who followed closely, was also playful. At this time, she was familiar with Cheng Jinning and did not care about the seniority. She said directly, "Hehehe, Miss Third, you don't know, my sister-in-law said that they are still having fun in the boudoir, and they are going to have a baby soon."

Cui Yuanqing was caught off guard and coughed violently.
