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

It seems that Cheng Wanxin doesn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have this expression.

Cheng Songan was increasingly unable to understand Cui Yuanqing. Did he now think that Cheng Wanxin was going to get married and no longer wanted to have anything to do with her? So he "turned over a new leaf" and put his heart on his real wife?

This thought almost made Cheng Songan laugh. It was possible that he would break up with Cheng Wanxin completely, but he would never put his heart on her. The heart that had not been warmed for ten years in the previous life had changed in just a few months in this life?

Cheng Songan didn't believe it, nor did he care.

Instead, Feng asked with some concern: "Does Yuan Qing really want to take her with him?"

Old Madam Yu comforted her, "Don't worry, madam. How could I let him take her? Although I always talk about having a great-grandson, I can't live without Yun Dai. If Yuan'er had been assigned to an out-of-town post, it would have been fine. But this time she's going to a den of wolves and tigers. Why would I take her with me? I scolded Yuan'er and he never dared to mention it again."

Feng was relieved, but Cheng Jinning on the side didn't think much of it. She raised her head and said, "My sister is very brave and is not afraid of any tiger or wolf den. If she goes with him, she might be able to help her brother-in-law."

Feng poked her head with her finger and said angrily, "Just be quiet. You've been wielding spears and sticks all day long. Do you want your elder sister to learn from you?"

Cheng Jining pouted in dissatisfaction, then looked at Cheng Songan aggrievedly, asking her to defend herself.

Cheng Wanxin, who was standing by, said, "Third sister, you are thinking the wrong thing. Lord Cui is going to do his job, not to play around. Sister has always been in poor health. If she follows him, she may suffer from the climate and water there, and she will inevitably be a burden."

Cheng Jining's eyes widened and she was about to start a quarrel with her, but fortunately Feng gave her a look, telling her not to spread the family's dirty laundry outside, and she was able to hold back her anger.

Cheng Songan looked at Cheng Wanxin with interest. She also called Cui Yuanqing "Master Cui". Did she think that the name of brother-in-law was not nice? In her previous life, she called him Yuanqing. She didn't know if she would have the same chance in this life.

Cheng Wanxin's eyes no longer had the tearful look she had at the beginning. She looked at her with innocent eyes and said, "Sister, have you chosen someone to serve you? Haitang grew up with you since childhood, so she is the most suitable person."

Haitang, who was standing by, was so angry when she heard this that she almost jumped out to bite her. However, with so many distinguished guests present today, she, a maid, could not act rashly, so she could only glare at her fiercely.

Cheng Jining, who was a wild horse, could no longer bear it and pointed at Cheng Wanxin and said, "Second sister, what do you mean by this? Why don't you give your citron to your second brother-in-law as a concubine?"

Cheng Wanxin looked at a loss and replied, "My dowry is naturally intended to be a concubine. Didn't my parents always say that the daughters of the Cheng family should be virtuous and considerate of the overall situation and consider everything for their husband's family? Could it be that my sister is unwilling to tolerate others?"

Cheng Jining never expected that she would so easily give her companion to her husband and even bring up her father to pressure her. She was speechless for a moment.

Cheng Songan just looked at her with a smile in his eyes, his long index finger tapping the circle of fox fur on his neck from time to time, and said slowly: "What does it matter whether I am willing to tolerate others? If my husband likes it, let alone Haitang, even if we take all four together, what's wrong with that? I always feel that we sisters don't get together much, and these girls around us should be with us all the time. However, who to take into the room depends on my husband's opinion, right?"

Cheng Wanxin also smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes as she nodded.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Mrs. Yu, who had always been cheerful, solemnly glanced at Cheng Wanxin with some displeasure, and tried to speak in a gentle tone, “We in the Cui family don’t have the rule of taking concubines at will, not to mention that the legitimate son has not yet been born. If Yuan’er dares to do anything reckless, I will be the first to break his legs!”

Cheng Wanxin was somewhat shocked by Old Lady Yu's attitude. In the capital, no matter how high or low the official rank was, which lady didn't want to have many children and grandchildren and enjoy the family life early? The Cui family actually didn't allow their only grandson to take a concubine!

Zhang, who had been smiling all the time, was also a little unhappy. The Cui family had not taken concubines since the old man's generation, and it was almost a family tradition. She was the only noblewoman in the capital who had a good life. Although she did not like Cheng Songan as much as the old lady, she did not dislike her. Therefore, she also glanced at Cheng Wanxin and said to Old Lady Yu: "Mother is right. Our family only recognizes Songan as our daughter-in-law and will only raise the children she gives birth to."

The expression on Cheng Wanxin's face became more subtle, turning from white to red, and then from red to white, and soon returned to normal. She said to Cheng Songan innocently and full of envy: "Sister, you are so lucky, I am so envious."

Cheng Jining snorted coldly: "It's not that my sister is lucky, it's because she is good that everyone treats her well."

Cheng Wanxin smiled at her, with an innocent look on her face, and nodded in agreement, "Third sister is right."

Old Madam Yu glanced at her indifferently, sneered vaguely, and touched Cheng Songan's head in her arms. She did not continue the topic and instead introduced the varieties of chrysanthemums to the guests. The ladies were best at tasting tea and appreciating flowers, so they all admired them by writing poems or drawing pictures.

Cheng Songan also stood up from Old Lady Yu's arms to deal with the guests and to help Zhang prepare the banquet. He was busy until the banquet was over and the guests were sent out one after another, and then he had a break to breathe.

Feng waited until she was free before bringing Cheng Jining and Cheng Wanxin to Yunxiang Pavilion. She had not been to Cui's house since her daughter got married, and she didn't know how her daughter was doing or whether she was still the same as at home.

Cheng Songan took them for a walk around the yard, then returned to the inner room. Cheng Jinning couldn't sit still in the room, so she walked around for a while and then ran to chat with Haitang and the others.

Cheng Songan asked Cheng Wanxin to sit on the Luohan bed, and she and Feng sat on the chaise longue opposite her.

Feng nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, such a relative, such a husband as Yuan Qing, there is no other in the whole capital, your aunt and I are relieved. But you should not take advantage of the favor and get carried away, it is more serious to have a child as soon as possible."

Cheng Songan said: "My daughter understands."

Cheng Wanxin bit her lip and said nothing.

Feng stayed for a while, then stood up and said, "The more guests come, the less friendly they are. Although I didn't come often, I can't have dinner after all. It's time for me to go back now."

Cheng Songan had planned to find out the people that Cheng Wanxin had planted here, so he said, "After the New Year, my second sister will also be getting married. We sisters will be thousands of miles apart when we meet again. Why don't we let the two sisters stay for a day so that we can have a personal chat."

Cheng Wanxin's eyes lit up, and she lowered her head, waiting for Feng to speak.

Feng thought about it for a while, and then said, "It's still not necessary. When Yuan Qing goes to Jiangnan, you can take some time to go home, it will be the same."
