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

"What is the origin of that woman and where is she now?" Cheng Songan asked with a frown.

Haitang replied, "This woman's surname is Hu. She fled from the south. Her exact origins are unknown. When Cui Wenkang's father Qian Guangxu was alive, he swindled a lot of money from Fourth Grandma, saying that he lost money in a small business. In fact, he bought a small courtyard outside and kept her as a concubine. Cui Wenkang also often went there. After a few visits, the two of them hooked up."

In his previous life, Cheng Songan had only heard that Cui Wenkang obeyed his father's will and returned to the clan after three generations. If he had a son, the surname would be changed to Qian. However, he did not expect that Qian Guangxu, as a son-in-law, not only did not keep the property for Fourth Grandma Cui and develop the family, but also betrayed her, used her money to support a mistress, and left such a will to her son, which was tantamount to eating Fourth Grandma Cui until not even a bone was left.

The fourth grandmother worked hard all her life, but in the end, she had nothing left. Even more hateful was her son, Cui Wenkang. His mother provided for him, but he was not only ungrateful, but was instigated by his shameless father to stab his mother in the back and even did such a dirty and ugly thing as having an affair with her.

"Don't alarm them yet. Wait until Cui Wenkang goes to the Patrol Department." Cheng Songan ordered.

Haitang agreed, and the two of them entered the garden. As soon as they entered, they saw Cheng Jining leading a two-month-old pony to eat grass and flowers, dancing with joy.

In the pavilion beside Qin Lake, the tables and chairs had been neatly arranged. Old Mrs. Yu sat in the seat in the middle, watching with a smile. Zhang sat below her. Cheng Wanxin, as a distinguished guest from her natal family, sat next to her. The rest of the Cui family's wives, sisters-in-law, and daughters-in-law sat down in order.

Cheng Songan greeted the Cui family members who saluted her one by one, then sat down next to Old Lady Yu and said to her, "Grandma is too indulgent to Jin Ning. The garden is not a farm. Let her run around without damaging the flowers and plants."

Old Madam Yu said generously, "Flowers and plants are of no value. Let her play with them if she wants. Let's eat, drink and have fun."

Cheng Songan added, "I heard from the maid that grandma wants to vacate the warm room in the suite? Why bother? I'll take her back to Yunxiang Pavilion. There are beddings ready in the west room."

"That won't do," Old Lady Yu refused immediately, "I have been living in seclusion for many years, and finally a lovely maid came. Why can't she accompany me? It's just right to let Wenxin stay here too."

Grandma Cui Si was naturally happy and agreed immediately.

Cheng Songan said coquettishly, "If grandma likes to be lively, why don't you let me live in Chunhui Garden? We can still play horse racing."

Old Madam Yu tapped her forehead and said, "If I keep you here, when will I be able to have great-grandchildren?"

Cheng Songan blushed, picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Today was originally to celebrate grandma's birthday, why did you drag me into it? I'll punish you with a glass."

Old Madam Yu laughed heartily, and was not polite at all. She raised her wine glass and said to everyone, "We are finally all here today. Don't be restrained. Eat and drink well."

Everyone agreed, picked up their glasses, and drank it all together with Old Lady Yu.

After a while, the wine became so abundant and lively at the banquet that everyone really let go of their restraint and kept toasting to Old Madam Yu, Zhang and Cheng Songan.

When no one else came, Cheng Wanxin picked up the wine glass, stood up gracefully and came to Old Madam Yu, and bowed down: "Wanxin offers a glass to Grandma, I wish you a long life, and may you live as long as the heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon."

Her eyes were beautiful and her gaze was radiant, outshining all the young girls in the audience.

Cheng Songan drank a few glasses of wine and said with a half-smile, "Second sister has already paid her birthday greetings at noon, why should she be so polite?"

Zhang said, "The more courtesy, the better. Please sit down, Miss."

Cheng Wanxin smiled at her, making her even more charming.

Old Mrs. Yu glanced at her indifferently, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, as if to appreciate her kindness.

Cheng Wanxin also drank it, then returned to her seat and said to Old Lady Yu, "Before my mother left, she asked me to take good care of my third sister and not cause trouble to my grandmother and aunt, so my third sister and I should go back to live with my sister."

Cheng Songan had a thought: Cheng Wanxin didn't seem to want to live in Cixian Hall.

Old Madam Yu once again looked at her with a light gaze and said, "The third girl lives with me to keep me company and relieve my boredom. I should thank her. It's no trouble at all. Second girl, don't feel restrained and just live with your aunt."

Cheng Wanxin pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Zhang on the side said, "It's rare that the old ancestor is happy, so let the third lady and Wenxin accompany him. The second lady can come back to Cixian Hall with me. Your uncle has to go to the Yanei for night duty tonight. You can stay in my guest room, which is much cheaper than Yunxiang Pavilion."

Cheng Wanxin smiled and nodded, but the smile was a little forced.

Old Madam Yu said casually, "The second young lady will be getting married after the New Year. I'm afraid she won't be able to come again in the future."

Cheng Wanxin felt that Old Lady Yu was giving her some vague guidance, so she stopped talking and just stayed quietly by the side.

If he hadn't seen her with that expression before, and hadn't experienced her final resentment towards him in her previous life, Cheng Songan would never have imagined that Cheng Wanxin's well-behaved appearance was all an illusion.

In his previous life, Cheng Song was convinced that he had lost to her. I wonder if Cui Yuanqing and she lived happily together after her death in the previous life? Will they grow tired of each other?

No, Cheng Wanxin is such a scheming person that even if Cui Yuanqing changes his mind, she has a way to win his heart back.

Fortunately, the old lady really loved her. Even if she left in this life, she would never let Cheng Wanxin enter the house so easily. If one day she really had to leave, the only thing she would not leave behind was the old lady.

Cheng Songan poured another glass of wine and drank it slowly to stop himself from thinking about it. Fortunately, the banquet was almost over by then, and everyone waited for Old Lady Yu to return to her room before gradually dispersing.

Zhang was the head of the household, so naturally she had to watch people clean up after the banquet before she could go home. When she was arranging for someone to send Cheng Wanxin back first, Cui Yuanqing's figure appeared in the pavilion.

So he said, "It's just right that you're here. Let's send the distinguished guest to Cixian Hall first, and then come to pick up your wife."

Cui Yuanqing glanced at Cheng Songan and saw that she was sleepy and seemed a little drowsy. He said to Haitang, "Your master has drunk some wine, so take him to your grandmother's room to rest for a while. I will be there soon."

Haitang glanced at Cheng Wanxin with an ugly expression.

Cheng Wanxin whispered, "Sister has always loved to drink, why did she get drunk this time? Why not let her stay with grandmother, I will feel at ease. If it is inconvenient for you, it is okay for Wanxin to go to my aunt's house by herself..."

"Please come in, Second Miss." Cui Yuanqing ignored what she said, stretched out his right hand to make a gesture of invitation, and walked out of the garden with her one after the other.

Cheng Songan laughed at herself. The moment he confessed his feelings in the afternoon, she was actually a little shaken. After all, they had been husband and wife for ten years in their past and present lives, and she couldn't have no expectations of him at all.

He could have sent a maid back, but he chose to do it himself and left her here. As they walked out, this hesitation was gone.
