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

It was surprising that Xuanwu could show his emotions, and Cheng Songan felt even more uneasy when he gave her another instruction. She didn't dare to answer and asked, "Is it related to Xue Tingyun?"

Suzaku nominally escorted Cui Wenxin and Su Zhi to Jinling, but his actual purpose was to find Master Minghua at Cheng Songan's request and ask him about what was mentioned in the letter.

Xuanwu nodded, his expression solemn.

Cheng Songan took a deep breath, followed his advice obediently, asked the maid to bring today's pregnancy-preserving medicine, drank it in one breath, waited for a while, and then said, "Bring it here."

Xuanwu handed her a thick letter, retreated to a distance, his face returned to its previous expression, he leaned against the railing and looked at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Cheng Songan slowly opened the envelope. She had thought of many possible situations regarding Xue Tingyun before. She thought the biggest possibility was that Xue Tingyun was controlling Xue Tingrong, manipulating her from behind, using her as a knife of revenge. She also thought that Xue Tingyun was really dead, but before she died, she planted a seed of revenge in Xue Tingrong, leaving her with an obsession.

But she never thought that Xue Tingyun actually had no connection with Xue Tingrong.

Cheng Songan never figured out how Cui Yuanqing, who had been cold to him in his previous life, could change so easily in this life. Cui Yuanqing always remembered his childhood and fell in love with his teenage self at first sight, just like in his previous life, but he still spent his life with her indifferently. In this life, they resolved the misunderstanding about Xue Tingrong, but Xue Tingyun's matter still stood between them.

Now she understood, that was the case.

Cui Yuanqing stayed in Jiangnan for one year less than in his previous life. He only stayed there for two months in this life and then came back. According to the original trajectory of his previous life, he should have known the whereabouts of Xue Tingyun in Jinling, or he might have even met Xue Tingyun.

No matter who it is, whether it is Si Tui or Cui Yuanqing, if they knew what Xue Tingyun had gone through, they would definitely collapse. They would torture themselves and also vent their anger on Cheng Songan who accidentally caused this incident. Xue Chengdong deserved to die, but Xue Tingyun should not have been so miserable.

Since she hadn't spoken for so long, Cheng Songan felt her upper and lower lips sticking together. After an unknown amount of time, she finally opened her mouth with difficulty: "Where is she?"

"No one knows." Xuanwu said lightly while leaning against the railing.

Cheng Songan lowered his head: "I want to find her."

Xuanwu looked at her but didn't say anything.

Cheng Songan: "You said you would go through fire and water for me. Maybe the time is coming soon."

Xuanwu turned his head away again: "I can't leave the capital to help you find someone, my duty is to protect your safety."

Cheng Songan: "I am safe. The Cheng family's crimes have not been cleared yet. I am still a guilty woman."

No one will attack the sinner again.

What's more, Cui Yuanqing's supervision of her was only better than that of a real prisoner, with fine clothes and delicious food.

She spent the first two months of her pregnancy in a daze, but it was not because she was not clear-headed. Cui Yuanqing registered all the maids in the Cui family, and Haitang and Qiangwei could move freely in the Cui family, but they could not come to see her at will. This only showed that this was not the will of the palace at all, but the intention of Cui Yuanqing.

He was afraid that she would disappear with the child, so he put her under house arrest in disguise. After she gave birth to the child and had a bond with him, she would never leave easily, just like Xue Tingrong.

There was no response, Cheng Songan's eyes revealed a resolute coldness: "I want to leave here."

After hearing this, Xuanwu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

……

The number of refugees appearing near the outskirts of Beijing is increasing and becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

Cui Yuanqing stood on the city wall with a frown on his face. He was not worried about the resettlement of these refugees. The food prepared by Cheng Songan earlier would be delivered to the capital soon. In addition, with the "unintentional" promotion of Princess Xiang, the manors of various aristocratic families in the capital were all planting beans from Southeast Asia, and at her call, they could donate some of them to help the victims.

What made him vaguely uneasy was that Cheng Songan's guess was very accurate. Not only was the location correct, but the time was also very close. Moreover, Su Zhi had just sent a report that there was indeed a problem with the dam in Hangzhou. Fortunately, it was raised and reinforced before the Plum Rain Festival. Even so, the heavy rainfall had collapsed a hole. Fortunately, preparations were made in advance to release the floodwater to one place, and at the cost of flooding a small county, the mulberry fields of several counties downstream were saved.

Cheng Songan has never been a person who risks everything, but she chose to bet her entire fortune on this matter, which shows that she is determined. Even the Imperial Observatory cannot accurately predict natural disasters, but Cheng Songan can.

Cui Yuanqing felt a little frightened.

He couldn't wait to return to the Gengdu Garden. He saw Cheng Songan holding Luo Luonu and sitting quietly under a tree to enjoy the cool air. The restlessness in his heart slowly dissipated. He walked over and sat down with them.

Cheng Songan took the initiative to extend his hand to him: "Are you leaving the government office?"

Cui Yuanqing was somewhat flattered. She had not been so attached to him for a long time, but he knew clearly that this initiative was very abnormal. He held her hand, hugged her in his arms, and asked, "Why are you so well behaved today? This is a bit unlike you."

Cheng Songan hugged his waist: "Maybe your child misses you. The one before was the same. It wants to be close to you."

Cui Yuanqing's heart suddenly melted like ice. He didn't even notice that the voice of the person in his arms was cold. His hand gently covered her lower abdomen, and he felt warmth in his chest.

The scene he had imagined came true.

Cheng Songan leaned his head against his body and asked, "Is Taxue back?"

Cui Yuanqing stroked her hair and said, "We'll be there tomorrow."

"I want to go and distribute the porridge myself," Cheng Songan raised his head, his face full of hope, "I once promised Master Minghua that I would do something for the people to repay him for saving my mother."

"Besides, I also want to accumulate blessings for our child and hope that it will be born safely."

She emphasized the words "our children" without leaving any trace.

Cui Yuanqing was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he was slightly moved. What he was thinking about most now was to keep the mother and child safe, wasn't it?

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, but you need to let Siwei follow you."

Cheng Songan smiled and said, "Is my Xuanwu not as good as your Siwei?"

Cui Yuanqing smiled along, but he was not at ease in his heart. It was precisely because Xuanwu and Siwei were equally matched that he was a little worried.

The next day, walking through the snow back to the Gengdu Garden, he presented the account books and receipts. Cheng Songan asked Cui Yuanqing to write a letter, expressing his willingness to allow the Ministry of Revenue to accept grain at a price lower than the market price for disaster relief. This amount of money came from Cheng Songan's dowry and betrothal gifts, and no one could find fault with it. The saint specially wrote an edict to praise him.

Princess Xiang understood the meaning of the music and immediately explained that her prince was devoted to farming and that the family had plenty of food. She was willing to show filial piety to his father on behalf of Prince Xiang and provide free porridge for a month.

As soon as her action came out, Princess Shou and Princess Jin were not willing to be outdone, and brought their respective supporters and their families to start a wave of good deeds in the capital.

Three days later, Cheng Songan, led by Taxue, appeared among the refugees in the suburbs of Beijing.

Other noble families would assign their housekeepers to distribute porridge, but Cheng Songan participated in person. She was a role model of a noble lady, and her every move attracted attention.

She patiently handed bowls of rice porridge to the victims fleeing from Henan and Anhui provinces. She was so busy that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She walked on the snow while helping and called on Xuanwu and Siwei to help as well.

A ragged man ate the porridge and came forward with a child to thank her: "Goddess of Heaven, you are the fairy sent by the Queen Mother to save us."

As he spoke, the child came forward and handed her a bright flower.

Cheng Songan took it without any defense and put it to his nose to smell it.

The ragged man suddenly jumped up, pushed the little girl away, and slapped Cheng Songan: "Oh, fairy, then I'll send you to heaven!"

Siwei was horrified and broke away from what he was doing and killed the man with lightning speed.

Taxue exclaimed: "It's him! He escaped!"

This man was the assassin who was subdued in Zangxin Mountain Villa. He was then sent to Gengdu Garden and kept in custody. No one knew how he escaped.

Xuanwu supported Cheng Songan, who had spit out blood, and quickly put a pill into her mouth.
