Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

Since it was the first time for both Wen and Bao Bao Zhenzhen to travel far from home, they were curious about everything and found everything new and exciting, so they kept stopping and starting along the way.

It should have only taken them half a day to get to the prefectural city, but by the time they arrived, it was almost dark.

Upon arriving at the Cui residence, the steward, along with a group of maids and servants, were greeting them at the entrance, with several luxurious sedan chairs parked nearby.

Cui Yifeng got off the carriage and ran to wait by Zhenzhen's carriage.

Xu Qing lifted the carriage curtain first, and Cui Yifeng obediently called out, "Godmother."

Her voice was clearly ingratiating, which almost made the servants of the Cui household slip and fall to the ground.

Xu Qing really couldn't stand this big boy who looked like her younger brother calling her "Mom".

But she couldn't embarrass him in front of everyone, so she could only nod demurely.

Cui Yifeng immediately reached out and said, "Please help me out of the car, and be careful."

After Xu Qing got out of the car, Wen Shi got out of the car one after the other, carrying Bei Bei in one arm and holding the baby in the other.

Xu Zhenzhen was at the very back. The butler was a servant of the Cui family and had worked in the Cui household for decades. He had also met Zhenzhen's mother.

Therefore, the moment Zhenzhen stepped out of the car, the butler led a group of servants to bow respectfully and say, "Welcome home, Miss."

Their voices were clear and loud. Although Xu Zhenzhen had never formally studied etiquette, she had learned about it from books while studying with Zhou Chenggong.

She returned the greeting to the butler.

But before she could even sit down, Cui Yifeng grabbed her.

"You are a young lady, you don't need to bow to them. Little sister, let's go, I'll take you to see the room your mother prepared for you when she was alive."

Despite the long carriage ride, Cui Yifeng felt no fatigue whatsoever; on the contrary, he was quite excited and energetic.

Cui Yi couldn't stand it any longer and whispered a reminder, "Young Master, Miss and her family haven't eaten yet..."

Cui Yifeng was reminded by Cui Yi's words and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, little sister, I'm so happy you're back. Let's eat and rest first, and I'll take you there later, okay?"

"it is good."

The group boarded a sedan chair and headed towards the dining hall.

Xu Qing had already experienced it last time, so he was relatively calm.

Although surprised, Madam Wen maintained a composed demeanor, though her hand, which was supporting the sedan chair, kept fidgeting.

Xu Baobao, being a child at heart, kept exclaiming in surprise while sitting in the sedan chair, wiggling her bottom around as if she found it very amusing.

"Baby, sit still," Xu Qing gently reminded him, "Be careful not to fall."

Xu Baobao stuck out her tongue and finally stopped moving around.

Once inside the Second Hospital, even the seemingly composed Ms. Wen couldn't quite keep up her composure.

There was actually a small hill in this house, and at the foot of the hill was a small river that flowed gently.

A small bridge connects the hill to their garden.

The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were all exquisite and beautiful.

Servants were tending to the flowers and plants among the bushes.

Before we came here, the new house my daughter built was already the best in the village.

I never imagined that Zhenzhen's family was so wealthy...

Seeing Wen's expression, Cui Yifeng said affectionately, "Grandma, if you like, I'll give you the gardener who tends the garden."

Ms. Wen hurriedly waved her hand: "No need, no need. We're from the countryside. We have a little land at home, and we've already planted vegetables. There's no place to grow these flowers and plants."

Cui Yifeng was determined to curry favor with the Xu family, and his face was full of respect for Madam Wen:

"It's alright, take the people back first, and you can plant them whenever you want. Don't worry about the wages, I'll take care of them."

Madam Wen shook her head again: "No need, thank you for your kindness, Young Master Cui."

The one-armed beggar sneered, "A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken."

Cui Yifeng didn't say anything more until he sat down in the dining room.

After the meal, the round-faced maid who had led Xu Qing the way last time took Xu Qing and the others to settle down.

Cui Yifeng then took Xu Zhenzhen to the ancestral hall in his home.

Since arriving at the Cui family, Zhenzhen has remained silent and hasn't said much.

She silently followed behind Cui Yifeng, watching him bustle about in the ancestral hall, unable to hide his excitement.

Cui Yifeng knelt reverently on the prayer mat: "Mother, I have finally found my little sister. You can rest in peace now..."

His eyes reddened as he handed Xu Zhenzhen a stick of incense: "Sister, say something to Mother."

Perhaps it was the bond of blood, but although Zhenzhen had never met her biological mother, she still felt a little sad looking at the dark memorial tablet above her.

She took the incense and knelt on the prayer mat next to Cui Yifeng, but couldn't say a word.

After a long silence, she kowtowed and stood up.

Meanwhile, on Xu Qing's side...

The round-faced maid was supposed to be assigned a guest room to each person, but the Cui family's guest rooms were quite large.

The screen divides the room into two parts, much like a modern one-bedroom apartment.

The baby is used to sleeping with Zhenzhen, and seeing such a big room, he refuses to sleep alone and insists on sleeping with Xu Qing.

With Beibei feeling energetic after drinking the milk, Wen Shi played with the two children in Xu Qing's room.

“Girl, I never imagined Zhenzhen’s family was so rich… I was even saying I’d come to support Zhenzhen.”

"Sigh, I just hope we didn't embarrass her."

Xu Qing did not tell Wen Shi about the complicated disputes inside. Upon hearing Wen Shi's words, she smiled and replied:

"How could that be? Look at Zhenzhen's brother, he respects us quite a bit."

Xu Baobao quickly answered, "That's right, Brother Zhenzhen is so nice, he even gave me a lot of hair clips, Grandma."

Xu Baobao showed the flower in her hair to Wen.

Xu Beibei was attracted by the colorful, constantly swaying patterns and reached out to grab them.

Xu Qing poked Xu Baobao's forehead: "Is giving you a hair clip enough to win you over? Didn't your mother buy you one too?"

Xu Baobao smiled innocently: "Mom is the best, but the one Brother Zhenzhen gave me is even prettier~"

Of course, the townspeople can't compare to those in the capital.

Wen laughed and scolded, "You have no conscience."

As they were talking, Zhenzhen returned.

Xu Qing noticed that Zhenzhen was a little down, so she gestured for Wen Shi and Bao Bao to take Xu Beibei to play next door for a while.

After Ms. Wen left, Xu Qing pulled Zhenzhen aside and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhenzhen said in a muffled voice, "Mother."

“I’m here. Zhenzhen, don’t keep things bottled up inside. It’ll make you feel better if you talk about it.”

Zhenzhen's eyes instantly turned red:

"I asked how my biological mother died and why my godfather took me away."

And what my godfather said about him turning to his concubine... I know I shouldn't be so hasty.

But when I looked at my mother's memorial tablet, I couldn't help but ask.

Xu Qing hugged Zhenzhen and said softly, "Just ask, what's the big deal?"

Zhenzhen sniffed, feeling the warm embrace, she gradually relaxed, but her voice was still muffled.

"He said that my mother was killed because the concubine wanted to rise in rank, but for some reason, even after my mother died, the man did not make the concubine his official wife."

The concubine felt that Cui Yifeng and I were blocking her way. At that time, Cui Yifeng was still young and had no ability to fight against the concubine.

I pretended to submit to her, and her concubine asked him to poison me. He replaced the poison with rice flour, but I was too young at the time.

I had an upset stomach after eating rice noodles, and I was vomiting and had diarrhea. My godfather thought that he had really sided with that concubine to poison me, so he took me and ran away...

I don't know if what he said is true or false, Mother. I feel there's too much trouble in this big mansion, and life is so tiring.

I don't want to stay here. I want to go back to Xujia Village with you.

Xu Qing thought for a moment, then followed Zhenzhen's lead:

“Then let’s go back tomorrow. Anyway, you’ve already paid your respects to your mother. The people from back then are all gone. Let bygones be bygones.”

In Madam Cui's courtyard.

Upon learning that her long-lost daughter had returned home, she sat upright in her armchair, waiting for her granddaughter to come and pay her respects.

By the time the flowers had all withered, the sky had darkened, the food had gone cold, and the tea had been refilled again and again.

Her little courtyard remained as quiet as ever...
