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

Old Madam Yu held the cane and paused on the ground as if unintentionally. She said to Zhang: "Such a thing has happened in our family and frightened the young ladies. Send someone to take the second and third young ladies back home immediately."

Zhang quickly agreed.

Cheng Wanxin wanted to say something, but when she met Old Madam Yu's clear gaze that saw through the world, she couldn't help but feel cold. She pursed her lips and said no more.

Old Madam Yu added, "This kind of dishonorable matter will bring shame to both the Cui and Cheng families. The Second Miss is so considerate and will not want to cause trouble to her in-laws. This matter should be handled by our family. I will explain it to the in-laws' wives in person later."

Her tone was not harsh, but rather gentle, and she had a decent smile on her face, but it always gave people a sense of majesty that could not be refused or refuted.

Cheng Wanxin understood what she meant. Such things must not be spread outside, nor should she go home and tell her mother. But she didn't understand why Old Lady Yu was so wary of her, so she replied respectfully: "Wanxin understands. I wonder if the third sister is still in Chunhui Garden? I'll go pick her up."

Old Madam Yu said to the maid beside her, "She's just a child, don't let her see the blood. Xing'er, take the second young lady to pick up the third young lady. Then arrange for someone to harness the carriage, and you go and take her to the Cheng residence in person."

Xing Er nodded in agreement, knelt down and saluted Cheng Wanxin, saying, "Second Miss, please come this way."

Seeing that she seemed to be making random assignments but had actually arranged everything perfectly, Cheng Wanxin dared not say anything more, for fear of being disliked by the old lady.

But before leaving, she was still a little unwilling, and took out the lipstick box in her hand, held it in her palm and said to Zhang: "Sister gave me a box of lipstick, I shouldn't refuse it, but it's a pity that Yulan is gone, so why not leave it to her."

When Zhang heard this, she could not help but look her over and sighed, "My son, you have such a delicate and clear mind, why wasn't he born in our family?"

Cheng Wanxin blushed, and did not answer. She just gently handed the thing in her hand to Haitang and said, "Haitang, go apply it on Yulan and send her off."

Haitang looked unhappy. Since she had said in front of everyone that the lipstick was given to her by Cheng Songan, she could only suppress the matter of her replacement.

Taxue, who was standing next to him, stepped forward, took it, and said with a fake smile: "Sister Haitang will be sad when she sees it, let me do it."

Cheng Songan watched from the side and didn't care how Cheng Wanxin behaved in front of Zhang. She just wanted to completely extricate herself from the matter and win the favor of this "future mother-in-law" at the same time.

But she forgot that no matter how affectionate Zhang was at this moment, it was only because she saw something unpleasant happening in her daughter-in-law's room and had no place to vent. If she really had to accept a daughter-in-law who was married for the second time, she might not be so easy to talk to.

Cheng Songan smiled faintly: "It's a pity that mother only has one son, my husband. If there were two, my second sister could marry you and be your daughter-in-law."

Zhang replied: "Who says it's not?"

Cheng Songan raised the corners of his lips and continued, "If mother doesn't mind, why don't you recognize my second sister as your daughter? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Cheng Wanxin suddenly raised her head, that fierce expression flashed across her face once again, and then she returned to normal, lowering her head shyly: "Wanxin is a person of weak character, how can she be worthy of being my aunt's daughter?"

Old Madam Yu took off a bracelet from her hand and smiled, "You are as beautiful as a flower, and you are kind and gentle. How can you not be a good match? From now on, your sister is still your sister, but this brother-in-law has to call you big brother."

Then, he handed the bracelet to Cui Yuanqing and said, "Go, give the engagement gift to your second sister on behalf of your mother."

Cui Yuanqing took it with both hands, walked to Cheng Wanxin without showing any emotion on his face, and called her "Second sister" in a very awkward manner.

Cheng Songan just found it funny. Before, he always called Cheng Wanxin "Second Sister" and it came out very smoothly. But at this moment, these two words seemed to burn his lips and it sounded insincere.

Cheng Wanxin's expression was indescribably awkward. Even though she was a scheming person, she couldn't hold it back at this moment. If she accepted this identity, she would have the status of siblings with Cui Yuanqing. Even if they were not biological children, she would no longer be able to be with him openly in the future.

But she was helpless and could only look at Cui Yuanqing sadly, and stretched out her fair and slender right hand slightly bent downward so that he could put the bracelet on her.

But maybe Cui Yuanqing was upset, he ignored her outstretched hand, just held it there blankly for a moment.

Taxue stepped forward to take it and said with a smile, "I'll put it on for the second young lady. From now on, she and our young master will be real siblings."

Cui Yuanqing did not stop him. He let Taxue take the bracelet and put it on Cheng Wanxin's wrist without even looking at it.

Zhang said happily, "That's great. In a few days, ask your mother to come and make the decision herself."

Cheng Wanxin forced a smile and had to agree, then followed Xing'er out of Yunxiang Pavilion.

Haitang and Qiangwei were capable people. Even after such a big incident, they quickly packed up Yulan's body, ordered people to carry it out of the yard, and met with the people who went up to the second gate to choose a coffin. Things here were quickly and quietly handled, and not even a whisper could be seen during the whole process.

No matter how unhappy Zhang was, she was still satisfied with Cheng Songan's efficiency. Seeing that there were no mistakes, she and Old Lady Yu went back.

Cheng Songan sat alone in the room, staring at the incense burner on the table. It’s not that she didn’t give Yulan a chance, it was she who chose this path.

In her previous life, only Yulan left Beijing safely and smoothly, while Qiangwei and Mudan died tragically. Cheng Songan didn't even have the chance to look at them before she died. She herself died in front of Haitang. How could Haitang have a good ending when she finally fell into Cheng Wanxin's hands?

Life for life, Yulan's death was not unjust. From now on, more people would die on this new road. However, Cheng Songan silently swore that even if she did it herself, she would never let anyone around her die in vain.

"Why did you commit suicide?" Cui Yuanqing, who had been standing beside her since some point, asked in a low voice.

Cheng Songan raised his eyes, looked into his eyes, and said slowly: "She betrayed me, and I caught her. She was too ashamed to face me, so she committed suicide to apologize."

Cui Yuanqing seemed to find this reason a little ridiculous. The corners of his mouth twitched downwards and he asked calmly, "What's the reason?"

Cheng Songan didn't say anything. The witness was dead. Cheng Wanxin said that the lipstick was given by her, so anything else she said would be inferior.

"How did she betray you? What did she do?" Cui Yuanqing asked relentlessly, as if he would not give up until he got the answer. This attitude showed that he did not believe her.

Cheng Songan sneered: "If I say that she betrayed me and turned to Cheng Wanxin, and wanted to harm me, would you believe it?"

Cui Yuanqing was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

Cheng Songan laughed silently and asked, "What else can I say? My Lord, please pack your things and head south immediately."
