"Girl! Girl!" Taxue shouted from outside the yard, "Hurry up, the old lady sent me back to ask you to come over quickly."

Cheng Songan and Haitang looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They would go to Chunhui Garden to celebrate the old lady's birthday first before talking about other things. It would be better at night than during the day. They were all members of the Cui family, so they didn't need to be as cautious as they were during the day when dealing with officials' wives.

Cheng Songan changed into a more casual outfit and asked Haitang and Taxue to help her wash her face and do her makeup.

Before leaving, Haitang instructed the other little girls who were not allowed to enter the house casually: "Watch the gate and yard, clean it up before playing. Sister Yulan hasn't come back from Cixian Hall yet, don't forget to leave the door open for her."

The little girl agreed and went about her business.

Taxue paused and asked, "Did Yulan go to clean up the guest room?"

Haitang saw that her young face was a little irritated, pretending to be mature which was not in line with her age, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that this also took away your credit? You are so competitive every day that you don't even call me sister."

Taxue pursed his lips, wanting to say something but stopping himself, he walked a few steps and said, "I just heard from the old lady that she wants Miss San and Miss Tongxin to stay together in her warm room tonight."

Cheng Songan said with a smile: "Jin Ning is like a naughty monkey. Don't make grandma unable to sleep because of the noise. I will go over and persuade her, or let her come back to sleep in our west room."

Ta Xue smiled and tiptoed to their ears and said, "That won't work. The master is going to Jiangnan tomorrow, so he won't let the two young ladies live in our courtyard. He's afraid it will be inconvenient for them to be intimate with the young ladies..."

Haitang was a grown-up girl after all, and she blushed and spat, "You little bitch, you're still talking about everything outside. If Miss San and Miss Xin hear you, watch out for your skin!"

Cheng Songan had never thought of this before. Her face immediately turned red. She covered her eyes with one hand and hit her with the other hand: "How could he mean that? It's just... Oh, you are so young, what do you know? If you don't learn your lesson, I will send you back to my wife."

Taxue knelt down hurriedly, hugged her arms and begged for mercy: "Miss, please don't chase me away. Listen to me. Although the master is deep-minded and unpredictable outside, his thoughts to you are very simple. I have been sweeping his yard since I was a child. How can I not understand him?"

Cheng Songan had a preconceived idea that Cui Yuanqing deliberately arranged Cheng Wanxin somewhere else because he wanted to meet her secretly, but he could not have predicted that the old lady would leave the third sister in Chunhui Garden and arrange the second and third sisters in Cixian Hall. If he went there at night and the third sister heard the noise, it would definitely be known to the whole house. Cui Yuanqing could not have failed to think of this.

Instantly, the feeling of Cui Yuanqing hugging her just now became very clear again. Not only did he confess his feelings to her, but his body was also obviously throbbing along with his thoughts. Upon noticing this, Cheng Songan angrily hit Taxue on the head and cursed, "You damn girl."

Taxue held his head and pouted: "Girl, spare my life. I have done this for you, the sun and the moon can testify to that!"

Cheng Songan suddenly laughed out of anger: "Look at her, she's talking nonsense and she said it's for me."

Stepping on the snow, he climbed up along the pole and whispered, "I have asked Doctor Sun for details. From yesterday to the next ten days, it is a good time to conceive. Miss, if you like Sister Qi so much, don't you want to have a child of your own?"

After saying that, he made a face and ran away again, looking back as he ran: "I'm going to help Yulan."

Haitang continued to walk with her, and she also had an idea and advised: "Young lady, although Taxue's words are blunt, what she said is reasonable. It is unknown when the master will come back after leaving. This delay may require another year or two."

"I know that you have a heart to leave sooner or later, but you are a girl, and you can't venture into the world or build a career. Without a child, won't you be lonely for the rest of your life? If you have a child to accompany you, it will be more interesting. Regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, our master and mistress and Young Master Yanping will definitely not ignore him."

Haitang is a kind-hearted person. She has taken care of Cheng Songan since she was a child and regards her as her own sister. However, she has no control over birth, aging, sickness and death. If she dies before Cheng Songan, and Mudan and Qiangwei are both married, she will have no confidant to accompany her. Having a child means she has hope and she will not be depressed.

Cheng Songan walked silently. She had no children in her previous life, and raising a child who could not be fed well was the pain of her life. Since she had taken good care of herself in this life and had prepared for Cheng Wanxin in advance, it would be fine to have a child. After the divorce, she would never let the child suffer any grievances.

But when she thought about sleeping with Cui Yuanqing, she felt an inexplicable restlessness. She should obviously reject him and resent him, but she was always swept up by him and felt pleasure and joy.

The master and servant walked together and when they arrived near Chunhui Garden, they heard cheers from afar. Cheng Jining and Cui Wenxin were the loudest among them, and their laughter could be heard through the wall.

Cheng Songan smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to approach, a man came out from the corner of the rockery, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to Auntie. How are you?"

He left silently, which scared Cheng Songan. When he looked up, he recognized that it was Cui Wenkang.

Cheng Songan pretended not to know him. At that time, she and Cui Wenkang had never met face to face.

Cui Wenkang added: "I am the son of Grandma Cui Si from Chang Street, and Wenxin's brother."

Cheng Songan pretended to understand something and said, "It's Kang'er. No need to be polite. Go into the garden. I think your mother and daughter-in-law are here."

Cui Wenkang smiled and said, "Yes, Wenkang is waiting here for Auntie, and wants to thank you and Uncle."

He has decent facial features, but he is clumsy and cunning, so there is always a frivolous look on his face that makes people feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Songan frowned slightly and forced a smile: "Just thank your uncle some other day. Work hard and don't let him down."

Cui Wenkang agreed repeatedly, but still followed her.

Cheng Songan suppressed his annoyance and chatted, "I heard that your wife is pregnant with a son. Your mother will have a grandson as she wished. I think your father will rest in peace if he knows about this."

Cui Wenkang sighed and said, "It's a pity that my father had a miserable life. After him, the family lineage was cut off."

Cheng Songan snorted in his heart, what's the point of having incense or not? If Fourth Madam Cui hadn't allowed him to marry into the family, let alone incense, he wouldn't even have any flesh and blood, and he wouldn't even have a place to be buried when he died.

But she didn't show it on her face, she just sighed softly: "As his son, you should burn a few more incense sticks for him to continue the incense."

Cui Wenkang's face lit up with joy. He had known long ago that in the Cui Mansion, the old ancestor loved the new granddaughter-in-law the most. And this new wife took care of Zhou and Wenxin, and Cui Yuanqing also took care of their whole family. If he could get her approval, half of what he wanted to plan would be accomplished.

After chatting for a while, he happily said goodbye.

Cheng Songan's smile suddenly disappeared, and he asked, "Did Li Wenbin find out?"

Haitang replied, "I found out. I'm afraid it would offend the girl if I told her. This bastard actually had an affair with his father's mistress."
