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

Ancient vine waterside pavilion.

Cheng Yanping and Lu Qingshan were throwing fish food to the fish in the lake by the window, talking about something, and they started laughing excitedly.

Cheng Zhongwen and Cui Yuanqing walked in slowly and asked, "What are you two talking about? Why are you so happy?"

Lu Qingshan turned around and saluted Cheng Zhongwen, then said with a smile, "I was talking to Yanping about his eldest sister's childhood."

Cui Yuanqing looked at him calmly, expressionless.

Cheng Zhongwen raised his head and laughed: "When Yun Dai was little, she was spoiled by her grandparents and became lawless. She ran wild in Yizhou and was really a nuisance. She even beat you that year."

Lu Qingshan said: "Sister Yun Dai was very innocent when she was young, but I didn't expect that she has restrained her temper a lot now."

Sister Yun Dai, these four words made Cui Yuanqing's eyes gloomy, and he half-squinted his eyes to stare at Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan turned a blind eye to it, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, he sneered and said: "Today I see sister Yun Dai, she is not as free and easy as she was when she was a child."

Cheng Zhongwen laughed and said, "Why not now? I heard that she not only broke your head, but also beat up the distinguished guest in your house?"

Lu Qingshan glanced at Cui Yuanqing inconspicuously and said in a long voice: "Him! He deserves it."

Cui Yuanqing remained calm and said to Cheng Zhongwen, "Yun Dai was naughty when she was young and annoyed Minister Lu. She still can't let it go. Today, why don't I apologize to Minister Lu on behalf of my father-in-law and toast him a few glasses of wine."

Cheng Zhongwen clapped his hands and laughed: "Great! This is a rare opportunity, let's drink a few more glasses today and not go home until we are drunk."

Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows towards Cui Yuanqing: "Master Cui, please show mercy."

Cui Yuanqing replied calmly: "Since we are drinking, we must enjoy it to the fullest. If Minister Lu gets drunk, let Yanping send you off personally."

Lu Qingshan asked, "Master Cui, are you so confident in your drinking ability?"

Cui Yuanqing raised his lips and said, "Since we are married, my father-in-law's house is like my own home. If I get drunk, I can stay in the mansion with Yun Dai. What's the harm?"

Lu Qingshan's eyes flickered for a moment, then returned to calm, and he snorted nonchalantly.

When Cheng Yanping heard that his sister could stay at home for one night, he immediately clapped his hands and cheered: "Brother-in-law, if that's the case, then I will prepare ten jars of daughter's red wine."

Cheng Zhongwen nodded and said, "Go, dig out all the wine I buried for your sister. Don't go home until you are drunk today."

The four of them chatted for a long time in the waterside pavilion, and then Cheng Zhongwen ordered a banquet to be served.

A large table that could accommodate ten people was placed in the pavilion. Servants and maids came one after another with food boxes to place the dishes on the table. Cheng Yanping indeed dug out ten jars of girl's red wine and placed them in a corner of the pavilion.

After receiving the report from the front, Feng also brought Cheng Songan and Lin to the Ancient Vine Water Pavilion.

From a distance, Cheng Songan saw a person standing in front of the waterside pavilion facing the lake, with his hands behind his back, standing alone and looking in her direction.

Seeing this, Lin smiled and said, "I'm afraid the son-in-law can't leave our young lady for a while, so he's waiting there."

Feng was also very happy.

Cheng Songan forced a smile. He was really good at pretending. He had deceived both his mother and his aunt. If he rashly proposed a divorce in the future, it might be difficult. Damn it!

Sure enough, when Cui Yuanqing saw them coming, he walked forward a few steps to greet them and naturally extended his hand.

Cheng Songan actually got used to his repeated fake performances and naturally extended his hand.

Cui Yuanqing then held her hand and followed Feng and Lin to the table. When they passed by Lu Qingshan, the two of them were seen holding each other's hands.

Lu Qingshan sneered lightly.

After sitting down, Cui Yuanqing frowned and asked, "Today is a family dinner, why are the two aunts not here?"

Cheng Songan covered her face with a handkerchief and pouted. It turned out that she was still unable to hold back her anger because of Cheng Wanxin.

Cheng Zhongwen's face suddenly turned a little embarrassed, and Feng quickly said, "Wanxin is not feeling well and cannot see guests. Jinning is like Yundai when she was a child. She can't sit still at home and ran to the farm to ride horses."

Cui Yuanqing didn't show any expression anymore, he just sat there in a trance, as if thinking about something.

Lu Qingshan said to Feng: "Is the second sister in danger? My mother and the imperial physician He from the Imperial Hospital are from the same hometown. If you need him, you can send him over."

Feng covered up the matter with just a few words.

Cheng Songan suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Lu Qingshan and Cui Yuanqing didn’t get along because he also liked Cheng Wanxin, and they were love rivals!

She remembered that the Lu family had once come to propose to the second daughter of the Cheng family, but was rejected by Cheng Wanxin and Aunt Shen on the grounds that she should not marry before the age of 24. Cheng Songan did not care at the time, but now thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea.

"Brother Qingshan, you haven't seen my second sister for a long time, right?" Cheng Songan smiled softly, "Why don't I take you to her courtyard after the banquet?"

After saying this, regardless of his mother and aunt's doubts, he said to Cheng Zhongwen: "Father, Brother Qingshan is not an outsider, don't you think so?"

Cheng Zhongwen twirled his beard and was stunned for a moment.

Lu Qingshan smiled and replied, "Okay."

Cui Yuanqing on the side glanced at Cheng Songan meaningfully, but did not show any emotion. He said calmly: "Okay, after the banquet, Yun Dai and I will take Minister Lu to visit the second sister."

Cheng Songan began to feel a little excited. Didn't he not want to talk about divorce? That was fine too. It would be better to add some storms to the relationship between him and Cheng Wanxin. She had suffered so much neglect and torture in her previous life. In this life, she wanted to let Cui Yuanqing taste the feeling of having a rival by her side early on.

In his previous life, Lu Qingshan appeared late, and Cheng Wanxin had already become a real couple with Cui Yuanqing. Lu Qingshan did not come to the Cheng Mansion at that time. By the time he met Cheng Wanxin, Yong Ge'er had already been born.

What if she could create more opportunities for Lu Qingshan in this life?

So Cheng Songan said to everyone shyly, "When my husband was at home, my grandmother said that he hated chatting with us women the most. Letting him go with me to see my second sister is really embarrassing him. It would be better for him to go to the farm with my second brother and accompany my third sister to ride horses."

Except for Lu Qingshan, everyone at the table laughed.

Cheng Songan added: "Yanping is going to take the imperial examination soon, why not let my husband check his homework."

This sentence hit Cheng Zhongwen's heart. He twirled his beard and nodded, saying, "My dear son-in-law, can you patiently teach Yanping a thing or two?"

Cui Yuanqing still smiled calmly and nodded.

Cheng Songan raised his eyebrows proudly, wondering how long he could remain so calm. Although Lu Qingshan was on a different path from him, his family background, appearance, and official position were not inferior to his, so he might be able to win her heart.

She made some calculations, felt cheerful, ate more, and even drank two glasses of wine.

On the other hand, Cui Yuanqing, although he appeared calm on the surface, the wine glass in his hand was never empty. His glass was not empty, and he did not let Lu Qingshan sit idle either. The two of them toasted each other and drank from two full jars of wine.

Whenever the two clinked their glasses, a chill appeared in Cui Yuanqing and Lu Qingshan's eyes, and there seemed to be a competition between the two that others could not see.

Cheng Songan was delighted. Lu Qingshan hadn't even met Cheng Wanxin yet, but Cui Yuanqing was already competing with him. He really wouldn't tolerate anyone else coveting Cheng Wanxin. He had made her wait for ten years in her previous life, and it wasn't easy.

Seeing Cui Yuanqing finish his glass of wine, he was drunk and looked quite lonely and frustrated. Cheng Songan suddenly felt a little self-pity in his heart. He had never given himself even a fraction of the affection he had for Cheng Wanxin.

Why should she divorce and make them happy? Cheng Songan pinched her palms. Since she had given up hope on Cui Yuanqing, why not take the title of Cui Mansion's mistress like in her previous life, become the wife of the Prime Minister in the future, take good care of herself, and then let the entire Cui Mansion support her at ease?

Although the Daqian Dynasty allowed women to divorce, the world was not tolerant of this. Few women who divorced were accepted by their families. Wouldn't their fathers and brothers choose another marriage? Another marriage might not be as pure as the Cui family's, but at least there wouldn't be so many dirty things.

Even if her father promised her that she would never marry again, how would the world view her father and brother? How could the third sister live peacefully in her husband's family in the future?

Thinking of this, Cheng Songan became even more determined to help Lu Qingshan.

Feng probably saw that she was in deep thought, so she pulled up her clothes and said to the people who were drinking happily, "You guys drink, and we three will go back and talk privately."

Cheng Zhongwen readily agreed.

Cheng Songan supported Feng and said to him with a smile: "Father, even if you are happy, don't drink too much. Let your husband drink for you."

Cui Yuanqing's face remained unchanged after drinking, except for a pair of red eyes. Hearing this, the wine glass in his hand paused in mid-air, and then he raised his head and drank it silently. She did not persuade him to drink less.

Before Cheng Songan left, he seemed to see him looking at him with some resentment in his eyes.

Is he blaming her for taking Lu Qingshan to see Cheng Wanxin? If he is blaming her for this, she should take Lu Qingshan to see her more often.

Returning to her mother's room, Feng frowned and asked, "The girl had already been confined to her room, so why did you allow outsiders to visit her? If so, won't your father also let this matter pass?"
