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

Cheng Songan walked out of Chunhui Garden. A cold wind blew over, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground. The rootless leaves spun a few circles in the wind, then scattered and floated away.

She raised her head. Dark shadows enveloped her. Winter was coming soon.

As she was about to leave, someone hugged her shoulders from behind, and the faint smell of Cui Yuanqing's blood filled her nostrils.

Cheng Songan covered his mouth and nose and struggled hard, but failed to get it free.

Cui Yuanqing whispered in her ear: "Take me a ride."

Cheng Songan frowned and looked back at him in confusion. Give him a ride? How? Why? Why could he talk to her so casually?

Cui Yuanqing seemed to have heard her thoughts and said with a frown, "The inspector's boat left half an hour ago."

After a pause, he added: "I failed to board the imperial ship on time, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Cheng Songan rolled his eyes at him and said coldly, "What does it have to do with me? Take your hand off my shoulder."

Cui Yuanqing did not let go, but squeezed it tighter, smiled and said, "Madam just knelt down to beg for mercy from Grandmother. Wasn't it because she was afraid that I would not be able to board the ship in time, which would be tantamount to disobeying the order, but because she felt sorry for me and was afraid that I would get hurt?"

Cheng Songan almost spat in his face. She had never known Cui Yuanqing had such a shameless side. She could only take a deep breath, suppress her anger, and said to Qiangwei, "Go to the second gate and ask someone to change to a bigger carriage."

Cui Yuanqing let out a faint smile and walked forward with his arm around her shoulders even more unscrupulously.

Cheng Songan raised his arm and slammed his elbow back hard, hitting him right in the heart. Cui Yuanqing groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cheng Songan was really dumbfounded at this moment, and asked in doubt: "I am so thin and I don't have much strength, how could I vomit blood?"

Cui Yuanqing wiped it carelessly with a white cloth, and the cloth immediately became soaked with red, shockingly red.

He casually threw the handkerchief to the maid behind him and said, "Throw it far away, don't let the old lady see it."

Cheng Songan then realized that he had suffered internal injuries from the beating.

She had always been grateful to Old Lady Yu for loving her, but she had never thought that she would beat her only beloved grandson like this for her. But why did the old lady force her to swear not to leave Cui's house?

She stopped and frowned, questioning: "It was you who asked my grandmother to force me to swear! Right?"

Cui Yuanqing did not deny it, but he did not admit it either. He just said, "When you were as old as Jin Ning, you promised to stay with your grandmother for the rest of your life. It's not like your grandmother forced you."

Cheng Songan was stunned, remembering that after Grandpa Cui took her to "meet" Cui Yuanqing, she was taken by Grandma Yu to the Cui family's summer resort - Green Garden Villa, where they lived for more than a month. There was no talk of marriage at that time, and she was still young, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.

Green Garden Villa has forests and water, and is much more free than in the capital. Cheng Songan spent a month happily with Old Lady Yu, just like when she was back in Yizhou with her grandparents. When the Cheng family came to pick her up, she burst into tears and hugged Old Lady Yu, saying, "Yundai wants to stay with grandma forever and never leave."

These memories were separated by two lifetimes. If he hadn't mentioned them, Cheng Songan would have almost forgotten them. But Cui Yuanqing didn't go there at the time. Did Old Madam Yu tell him? He actually remembered them so clearly.

Cheng Songan rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly: "What we said when we were young doesn't count."

Cui Yuanqing frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly, coughed slightly, and spat out another mouthful of blood.

His piece of cloth had been taken away by the little maid and disposed of, so Cheng Songan had to take out his own handkerchief and throw it to him.

Cui Yuanqing was startled, as if he was a little flattered. He immediately put the handkerchief into his sleeve and casually wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his hand.

Cheng Songan's eyes widened. Cui Yuanqing liked cleanliness, but he actually wiped the blood with his hands! She stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, trying to pull out the handkerchief.

Cui Yuanqing held it tightly with his other hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Songan pulled out a corner and said, "Since you don't need it, give it back to me."

Cui Yuanqing grabbed her wrist with his backhand, coughed twice, and said anxiously: "Give it to me."

Cheng Songan didn't understand what was wrong with him, and was afraid that he would spit blood on himself, so he had to throw the handkerchief to him again. He couldn't help but look a little panicked. He was spitting blood like this, and he was afraid that his internal organs were injured. Can he still go to Jiangnan like this? If not, will the situation change in the future? The Jiangnan fraud case is different from Su Zhi's article. It determines who will get the "money bag".

Cui Yuanqing stared into her eyes, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Are you worried about me?"

Cheng Songan simply spat at him: "Shameless!"

The last time she said these three words was on the bed. He asked her to open her eyes and look at him, but she got angry like a cat and called him shameless.

Cui Yuanqing felt a heat in his heart and almost vomited blood again.

Cheng Songan couldn't help but help him up, and regardless of the scolding he had just given, he asked, "You really don't need to see a doctor? How are you going to Jiangnan in this state?"

Cui Yuanqing was about to answer, but after a moment's thought, he staggered forward a step, almost leaning on Cheng Songan, and said weakly, "No need. We can't let anyone know that I'm still in Beijing."

Cheng Songan had no choice but to support him with her shoulders. When she took the sword to kill him, it was partly out of emotion and partly to show her attitude. She didn't really want to kill him, but at least she couldn't let him die now.

If he died, someone else going to Jiangnan might not be able to shake down those local tyrants, and this fraud case would be a favor to Prince Shou. Since she was still on the same boat with Cui Yuanqing, she had to let him follow the path of his previous life.

She wanted to ask the little maids behind her to support her, but when she looked back, she saw that the little maids following her were either small or thin, and if they helped Cui Yuanqing, he would probably fall several times.

So Cheng Songan could only grit his teeth and support him, slowly walking towards the second door.

Qiangwei ordered people to harness the carriage, and when she came back and saw this scene, she was immediately shocked. She thought Cui Yuanqing was going to die on Cheng Songan's shoulders, so she hurried over to pull him away.

Cheng Songan asked her to help hold on while he went up first. However, Cui Yuanqing stood much more steadily and told Qiangwei to sit in another one. He even jumped into the carriage without any help.

After getting on the carriage, his frail appearance reappeared. He actually sat on the ground and put his head on Cheng Songan's legs.

Cheng Songan pushed him in annoyance: "Why don't you sit down? How can you behave like this?"

Cui Yuanqing hissed loudly but did not answer.

Cheng Songan didn't dare to push him anymore, fearing that he would spit out the blood on his legs. He could only hold back his anger and ask, "How are you going to the dock like this? Where's Siwei?"

Cui Yuanqing closed his eyes and said calmly, "Who said I was going to the dock?"

Cheng Songan choked: "You're not going to Jiangnan?"

Cui Yuanqing held her legs and said, "Call me when you get to Hongyan Tower."
