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

Xu Qing had no objections; respect for the deceased is paramount.

Ye Wushuang went to find a room with the crew, while Xu Qing stayed here temporarily.

"water……"

The lips of the "corpse" on the ground moved, making barely audible sounds.

Xu Qing was so frightened that she jumped to the side.

Anyone would react the same way if they heard a "corpse" speaking.

"water……"

The man's fingers trembled slightly.

Xu Qing realized that the man might not be dead yet, so he took out the water bag and gave him a few mouthfuls.

Having been moistened by the water, the man seemed to regain some vitality. With trembling hands, he reached into his chest and pulled out a packet of medicine powder.

Xu Qing opened the medicine powder for him and asked, "Is this what you're going to take?"

The man didn't respond, he just brought it to his mouth.

Xu Qing decided to go all the way and poured the water into his mouth, then gave him a few more sips.

"Ah, it's come back to life!"

When Ye Wushuang returned with the wooden door plaque and key, she saw that Cui Han, the Minister of Justice, who had just been a "corpse," was now sitting up against the wall.

Startled, it let out a long scream.

Xu Qing covered her ears. Why was this boy's voice so shrill, like a girl's?

After Ye Wushuang's screams subsided, Xu Qing explained, "This old man is fine. He must have just fainted. The crew didn't see clearly before making a judgment, which caused a misunderstanding."

Cui Han turned to look at Ye Wushuang; he still remembered this young friend with unusual hobbies.

"I heard from Madam Xu that you saved me. Otherwise, I would have been thrown into the river to feed the fish. Thank you, young friend Ye."

After confirming that Cui Han was not a "resurrected corpse," Ye Wushuang returned to his carefree nature and patted Cui Han on the shoulder: "Uncle Cui, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Qing is now particularly sensitive to people with the surname Cui. He learned from the one-armed beggar that an elder in the Cui family is an official in the capital.

I just heard from the crew that this ship also came back from the capital. Ye Wushuang also called this person "Uncle Cui".

Furthermore, Cui Yifeng also mentioned that his uncle would come back to see Zhenzhen during his time off.

Could this person be the eldest son of the Cui family?

Cui Han paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Something came up at home, and I caught a cold while rushing on the road."

This is clearly an excuse, Xu Qing thought to himself. This person has neither a fever nor a cough.

Although he spoke somewhat weakly after waking up, he was full of energy and spirit, hardly resembling someone who had fainted from a serious illness...

Ye Wushuang said worriedly, "The ship has been sailing for a while now, and we can't get off. I'll go ask if there's a doctor on board. Please wait a moment, Uncle Cui."

Xu Qing: "...This child is indeed naive."

Cui Han stopped him, saying, "Thank you, young friend. I've already taken my medicine and I'm fine for now."

Ye Wushuang wanted to say more, but Xu Qing said, "Why don't we help this uncle into a room to rest? It's not good for him to sit here."

Ye Wushuang said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Auntie is so thoughtful. I didn't even think of that. Uncle Cui has caught a cold and needs to avoid the wind."

Xu Qing and Ye Wushuang helped Cui Han back to room 106.

After seeing that Cui Han was alright, Xu Qing and Ye Wushuang returned to room 105 next door.

"Mom, what happened outside just now? I heard something like someone died next door, is it true?"

Xu Baobao asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

Xu Qing explained what had just happened and asked Ye Wushuang, "Was that man the eldest son of the Cui family in Fucheng?"

Ye Wushuang couldn't hide her surprise and asked in astonishment, "How did Auntie know!"

"Guess."

"Auntie is so smart!"

Xu Baobao whispered to Xu Zhenzhen, "Sister, why does this painter Ye seem a bit dim-witted?"

Xu Zhenzhen covered her mouth and chuckled, then nodded slightly.

The one-armed beggar was also somewhat surprised, but he had no good feelings towards the Cui family, so he did not express his opinion.

Xu Qing asked Zhenzhen, "Logically speaking, he's your uncle. Should Zhenzhen go and say hello?"

Zhenzhen replied without hesitation, "No, he doesn't know I'm his niece anyway."

Xu Qing didn't force him. The child is grown up and has his own ideas, which adults should respect.

Cui Yifeng had not yet revealed Xu Zhenzhen's identity to the public. Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Ye Wushuang looked at Xu Zhenzhen with suspicion:

"You're also from the Cui family? I've never seen you before. Are you perhaps from a collateral branch?"

That doesn't make sense either. The collateral branch of the Cui family went to the capital with Uncle Cui a long time ago. How could they not recognize their own niece?

Zhenzhen pursed her lips and didn't explain.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Young Master Cui Yifeng of the Cui family has recognized me as his godmother, Zhenzhen is my daughter, and the eldest master of the Cui family is naturally her uncle."

Ye Wushuang said, "I see."

Ms. Wen was seasick and was mostly asleep the whole way. Xu Qing gave her motion sickness medicine, but it didn't help much.

Upon arriving at the ferry town, the moment the boat stopped, Wen, supporting her trembling legs, climbed out of bed and said, "Daughter, I never want to take a boat again."

Xu Qing picked up Xu Beibei and nodded, saying, "From now on, we'll ride in a carriage."

As the group walked out, Madam Wen said as she went, "I won't ride in a carriage anymore, and I'll never travel far again. My old bones can't take any more of this."

Xu Baobao teased Grandma Wen with a grin: "Grandma, from now on, when I go out to play with Sister Zhenzhen, I'll bring you back any delicious or fun things we see."

Ms. Wen stroked the baby's head and said, "I knew it. It's always the daughters who are the most considerate."

Ye Wushuang walked behind and saw that Cui Han also came out and seemed to be alright, so she felt relieved.

“Uncle Cui, this boat will return to the prefectural city later, so you don’t need to get off.”

Cui Han straightened his slightly wrinkled robe:

"I think I'll go horseback riding. I'm about to throw up from sitting on the boat for so long. I'll also go down to have some lunch."

"I forgot to ask earlier, what brings you to Ferry Town, young friend Ye? Do your parents know?"

Ye Wushuang and Cui Han walked behind Xu Qing and the others. He pointed at Xu Qing and said:

"They know I went to Aunt Xu's house to help her with her painting, hehe. Aunt Xu is such a nice person."

Cui Han shook his head with amusement. After disembarking, he politely bid farewell to Ye Wushuang and Xu Qing.

“I will always remember your life-saving grace. If you need anything from me in the future, just go to my family and find my nephew. He will pass on the message to me.”

Ye Wushuang nodded without ceremony.

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

The moment Cui Han stood up, he saw Xu Zhenzhen hiding behind Xu Qing.

He was struck dumb.

Like.

so similar.

"Jinjin..."

Cui Han murmured somewhat inappropriately.

Seeing this, Xu Qing explained, "This is my daughter, Xu Zhenzhen. Not the Jinjin you mentioned."

Cui Han came to his senses and remembered what his nephew had said in his letter: his niece had been adopted by a woman from Xujia Village.

And this person happened to also have the surname Xu, so he immediately said:

“Madam Xu, I am Cui Han from the eldest branch of the Cui family. My nephew Cui Yifeng should have introduced me to you. Zhenzhen is my daughter from the Cui family, and I am her uncle.”

Xu Qing hadn't expected this person to be so quick-witted; she had already been recognized, and she couldn't fool him any longer.

He put on a surprised expression and said, "So you're the eldest uncle of the Cui family. I've heard so much about you. Zhenzhen, come out and meet your uncle."

Zhenzhen reluctantly stepped out from behind Xu Qing: "Uncle."
