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

After resolving the matter, Mudan returned to Yunxiang Pavilion with a few maids. Cheng Songan didn't care about Zhang's expression and asked Haitang to lead Mama Li to present the gift.

Haitang took out the round fan and handed it to Cui's mother Zhang, then handed the Shu brocade to the old lady's maid, and then said, "I should have brought Shu brocade for Madam, but Miss said that the old lady is in a high position, so I had to ask Madam to see the craftsmanship first. I will definitely make up for it when I have time in the future."

She was a personal maid who had grown up with Cheng Songan, and she was very careful with her words. Even though Zhang felt a little unbalanced, she couldn't say anything.

What's more, embroidery is just a tool for the mother-in-law to test the new bride's talent. Some young ladies from wealthy families are spoiled and only embroider a handkerchief as a formality. But her new bride embroidered such an exquisite round fan, and there are not many people with such craftsmanship in the whole capital, so she naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Zhang fanned herself and praised the old lady: "Everyone says our daughter-in-law is a model of a noble lady. Seeing is believing. She is indeed not bad."

The old lady was more sincere than her. She came from a good family, but her family was already in decline when she got married. When she was at home, she had to do everything herself and the maids. Therefore, she knew all the hardships and could not help but hug Cheng Songan in her arms.

"Zhenzhen is a lovely girl. According to my opinion, no one can force her to do anything from now on. With these things, if anyone dares to question her needlework, I, an old woman, will be the first to disagree."

After hearing this, Zhang disagreed in her heart, but did not dare to say anything more.

Cui Yuanqing stood aside, looking like an outsider. He was always cold and aloof, and everyone was used to his silence, especially the maids, who hardly dared to talk to him actively.

The old lady was already feeling annoyed by the words of these girls, and when she saw her grandson's indifferent look, she wanted to hit him with her cane.

She loved her granddaughter-in-law so much, with such a look and such a character, but he didn't show any joy at all. He even slept in the study on the wedding night. So he said with a gloomy face: "Yuan'er, come here."

Cui Yuanqing walked over as he was told. He was respectful in front of his grandmother with a faint smile on his face. Old Madam Yu grabbed his left hand and overlapped it with Cheng Songan's hand.

Cheng Songan's smile became a little stiff, and her hands also stiffened. She immediately wanted to retract her hands, but the big hand on the back of her hands held them back tightly.

Cheng Songan's heart tightened. This didn't happen in his previous life because Cui Yuanqing didn't show up that day. He looked up at him, but saw that he had no expression on his face and didn't think there was anything wrong with this action.

That's right. After all, he was in front of his elders, so he had to pretend. Cheng Songan wanted to retract his hand, but then he calmly placed it in his hand.

Old Mrs. Yu saw that her grandson had come to her senses, and the two of them were so sweet to each other, which showed that the rumors that Cui Yuanqing disliked the girl from the Cheng family were not true. He must have been drunk and unconscious when he slept in the study last night, and it was not that he deliberately did not go back to the bridal chamber to sleep.

She pressed her eyes and said to the Cui couple, "The best thing your father did before he passed away was to arrange such a marriage for Yuan'er."

Cui also agreed with a smile.

When this matter was mentioned, Cheng Songan clearly felt Cui Yuanqing's hand tremble and turned cold, and then he pulled his hand away and said, "My grandson has some official business to deal with, so I will leave first."

Cheng Songan felt clear-headed. The greatest shame in his life was being forced to get engaged to her. He could no longer pretend after hearing this.

Old Madam Yu said angrily, "Didn't the Saint give you a few days off for your marriage? Who are you trying to fool?"

Cui Ziqi, Cui's father, argued for him, "It's not Yuan'er's fault. He was on holiday originally, but the imperial examination is coming up, and he is one of the examiners for the joint and palace examinations, so naturally he can't be left alone."

Mrs. Yu then reluctantly snorted and said to Cui Ziqi, "You men can go, and your wife will go and do her own thing. You don't have to come back later. I will leave my grandson's wife here for breakfast."

The Cui couple stood up and agreed.

Cui Yuanqing said, "Then I will take my leave. Let Yun Dai serve Grandmother for dinner."

Cheng Songan looked at Cui Yuanqing in surprise. He felt very unnatural when he said Yun Dai, as if he had considered for a long time before saying it. Yun Dai was Cheng Songan's nickname.

He actually knew her nickname. I had never heard him call her by her full name in her previous life, but today he actually called her by her nickname.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. He hates her so much, it must be because of his sweetheart Cheng Wanxin.

Cheng Songan suppressed the emotions that were almost aroused again and showed a bright smile: "Husband, please go to work without worry. My mother-in-law and grandmother will take care of me at home."

She acted like a good child, describing serving the elders as the elders taking care of her. She was not trying to please them, but rather had a hint of coquettishness. Sure enough, the old lady loved her so much that she hugged her in her arms.

When Cui Yuanqing heard the word "husband", he paused slightly, his face still with the same expression, and without saying anything, he turned around and walked out of the main hall.

Cheng Songan had dinner with the old lady in Chunhui Garden and chatted for some time. It was almost lunchtime when he said that it was time to go to his mother-in-law Zhang's room to serve lunch.

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she immediately became unwilling and sent someone to the Cixian Hall where Zhang was. The little maid said eloquently:

"The old lady said that Yun Dai ate with her today and it was very sweet. She should eat lunch here. Or, please ask Madam to let the young mistress serve Madam in Chunhui Garden in the future. Madam doesn't have to come here to serve her anymore and can just focus on taking care of the household chores."

Naturally, Zhang didn't want to serve her mother-in-law every day. This was human nature, but she also felt a little angry. What a shame it was that the new daughter-in-law didn't serve her mother-in-law on the first day she came into the house. It was really aggrieved for her as the new mother-in-law.

Zhang thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She only said to the maid, "This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Thank you for your hard work, Madam. Tell her to just stay with the old lady and don't worry about anything at home. If there is anything missing, just send someone to let me know."

After hearing the reply, Cheng Songan didn't try to guess what Zhang was thinking. After all, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was as fragile as duckweed. As long as she was no longer useful, no matter how much she did, this cold-hearted mother-in-law would not appreciate her kindness. It would be better to just ignore her and act nice occasionally to save face.

Having thrown away two burdens on the first day of her marriage, Cheng Songan felt relieved. In this life, she only needed to eat well, drink well, and have fun, so that she could live a long life. Then, when her brothers and sisters were married and it would not delay their marriage plans, she would divorce Cui Yuanqing and return home to reunite with her parents.

Given her mother's love for her, if she knew about the injustice she had suffered, she would definitely go through all the trouble to take her home. Even if she didn't go home, her dowry would be enough for her to buy a house not far from the Cheng Mansion so that she could see her parents from time to time.

Of course, she also had to remind her father to withdraw in time before he was framed and demoted. Even if he could not continue to stay in the cabinet, he had to get out of it safely.

Cheng Songan made up her mind and ate at Old Lady Yu's house with ease. In her previous life, she had always been influenced by the trend of thinness being considered beautiful, and she refused to eat even one more bite of food for fear of being ridiculed and despised, which made her a little thin.

From now on, she doesn't care about being fat or thin, as long as she eats happily.

Elderly people often feel a sense of accomplishment when they see their younger generations willing to eat. When Old Lady Yu saw that Cheng Songan ate with relish, unlike other young ladies from aristocratic families who had small appetites and would not eat after just a few peckings, she was naturally very happy and liked her even more.

It was not until dusk that Cheng Songan returned to Yunxiang Pavilion.

The maids who followed her were all happy for her. The Cui family was a simple family, the old lady was kind, the master and his wife were sensible, and although the son-in-law was cold, he was polite. She was definitely married into a good family, not to mention that their young lady was so popular.

But there was no joy on Cheng Songan's face.

When I returned to the bedroom, I saw Qiangwei, who had been guarding the room, saying, "Miss, the master sent Sibian back and is waiting for your reply."
