Despite the gap in family background and social class, Duan Zhuyu was able to fall in love with Situi. She was not someone who cared about rumors. The reason he asked her this question was not because he was afraid that she was not worthy of the Ming family. Cheng Songan was very sure of this.

However, Duan Zhuyu had never been kind to Cui Yuanqing, but today she spoke up for him, which really puzzled her. She shook her head and said, "Even if your uncle didn't exist, I wouldn't have anything to do with Cui Yuanqing anymore."

Duan Zhuyu was stunned and a little embarrassed. She opened her mouth as if wanting to say something but didn't know how to continue.

Seeing that she was not as smart and unrestrained as before, Cheng Songan was even more puzzled. Could it be that she had some contact with Si Tui again? He couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Yu'er, how much do you know about that person?"

Duan Zhuyu bit her lip tightly, her eyes full of stubbornness. After a long while, she said unwillingly, "I don't care who he is or what his identity is. Now that I have made up my mind, I will not turn back even if I hit a wall."

Cheng Songan sighed: "Yu'er, why bother to hurt yourself so much? Sometimes people have to let go of some obsessions."

Duan Zhuyu's eyes turned red, but she still shook her head stubbornly: "I don't want to, sister. You thought you had let go of your obsession, but you actually hadn't. What you just blurted out was that you were severing ties with Cui Yuanqing, but you actually didn't think that I was asking about someone else."

Now it was Cheng Songan's turn to be stunned. She was not talking about Cui Yuanqing, so it was Lu Qingshan?

It is even more incredible that Duan Zhuyu would speak for Lu Qingshan.

"Lu Qingshan is about to fall out with his family. He refuses to accept the marriage arranged by Madam Lu." Duan Zhuyu hesitated, but finally spoke slowly, "He hasn't been home for more than a month. The next step should be to ask the Saint to lead the troops and stay away from the capital."

"He really loves my sister. Don't you want to look back at him?"

Cheng Songan frowned. Lu Qingshan had been spoiled since he was a child. It was almost impossible for him to get what he wanted. From outsiders, he looked like a dandy boy, but she knew that the Lu family was a wealthy family with strict etiquette and laws, and no one in the family dared to openly disobey or even bring disaster to the family.

To the Lu family, Lu Qingshan was the most promising young man. If he married an abandoned woman, it would be a shame for the entire family. Cheng Songan had expected this attitude of the Lu family. Moreover, she had never had any romantic feelings for Lu Qingshan. This was the case when she was a child and it was still the case when she grew up. So much so that when she first met Lu Qingshan after her rebirth, she did not recognize him at all.

Lu Qingshan's obsession with her is exactly the same as Duan Zhuyu's obsession with Si Tui.

Cheng Songan sighed slightly. When Lu Qingshan proposed to Cheng Wanxin in his previous life, there were not so many twists and turns, and there was no big fuss. Why did it change completely in this life?

"If there is someone you don't like but he is sincere to you, will you look back at him?" Cheng Songan sighed softly.

Duan Zhuyu looked at her with a little confusion, but there was more resentment and grievance in her eyes.

Cheng Songan suddenly thought, was Cui Yuanqing in this mood many years ago? Being loved, cared for, and even forced into marriage by someone he didn't like. In his previous life, he probably spent his whole life with her in a lukewarm way with this kind of mood. In this life, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but he actually fell in love with her.

Realizing that he actually sympathized with Cui Yuanqing, Cheng Songan immediately shook his head and drove the thought out of his mind.

After he cleared his mind, he suddenly felt something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "Yu'er, are you familiar with Lu Qingshan?"

Duan Zhuyu thought about it, not knowing how to answer. After a while, she replied, "I don't know if we are familiar with each other. We both hate Cui Yuanqing, so we put aside our prejudices against each other."

Cheng Songan's mind moved, and he asked again: "Before you went to Cui Mansion to pick me up, and last time you went to the city to pick me up, Lu Qingshan told you, right?"

Duan Zhuyu thought about it for a while and nodded. But she was obviously a little unconvinced and didn't intend to talk about it in detail. Then she talked to her about the Shangsi Festival. After all, she was closer to her uncle. Knowing that Cheng Songan agreed to spend the festival with her uncle, she was happier than anyone else.

After a while, he smiled and said, "This Shangsi Festival, my aunt is also going to take Ning Zhao to Xicheng River. What do you think she is doing this for?"

Cheng Songan followed with a smile and asked, "Isn't the Prince Xiang accompanying the Princess?"

Duan Zhuyu pouted her lips in disapproval: "My uncle is going out of town. I asked him what he was going to do, but he didn't tell me. My uncle loved me the most in the past, but now he has even ignored my aunt and cousin Ning Zhao."

Cheng Songan's smile froze on the corner of her mouth. Was it because of Cheng Wanxin that King Xiang ignored Princess Xiang? According to Cheng Wanxin's past and present lives, she was forced to commit herself to King Xiang, and everything was passive. So after King Xiang ascended the throne in her previous life, Cheng Wanxin not only did not enter the palace, but married into Cui's house.

After her rebirth, she always thought that the Princess of Xiang was more powerful, so Cheng Wanxin was half unable to defeat her and half her heart belonged to Cui Yuanqing, so she completely broke off her relationship with the King of Xiang.

The current situation is not like that.

Cheng Songan followed up and advised: "It is common for couples to quarrel. The prince and the princess have always been in harmony. You don't have to worry."

Duan Zhuyu frowned slightly, full of worry: "In my opinion, it seems that my uncle has a mistress."

Cheng Songan said calmly: "Don't make random guesses. If the princess hears it, won't she be sad?"

"Humph, auntie is not sad." Duan Zhuyu raised her head and said, "She is the most far-sighted person in the Ming family. As long as Ning Zhao's status is not threatened, auntie will not bother to be sad about such a trivial matter. It's just that uncle is indeed a little weird this time."

Cheng Songan nodded. Princess Xiang was taking good care of her. Since she had accepted the zither, she had to do what a counselor should do.

"Yu'er, since the princess is unhappy, you can take her to Baoguo Temple to burn incense."

In his previous life, Cheng Wanxin was "practicing" in a courtyard outside Baoguo Temple, and in this life he would probably choose to meet King Xiang here again.

Duan Zhuyu hugged her arm and said, "But I heard that this year's Shangsi Festival is more lively than previous years."

Cheng Songan saw a trace of loneliness in her eyes and knew that she wanted to see Situi. Her first encounter with Situi was during the parade, when she caught a glimpse of him in the crowd.

"Do you want to see that person again?" Cheng Songan asked, "The Cui family has a separate courtyard outside the Baoguo Temple. Maybe someone will go there to live during the Shangsi Festival."

Sure enough, Duan Zhuyu's eyes lit up, and after a while, she said goodbye.

Cheng Songan looked at her back and sighed deeply. If she hadn't seen some things with her own eyes, she would definitely hit the wall.

Besides, she wanted to convey a message to Princess Xiang through Duan Zhuyu.
