About half an hour later, the fifth lady of Anningbo Mansion finally arrived at the Tibetan Incense Garden.

Cui Ling's stepmother was born in the Jiangdong An family, which is also a big family, but her father is a concubine, and the current head of the An family is her eldest uncle.

At the beginning, the fifth master of Anningbo Mansion lost his wife young, and there was only a three-year-old daughter left under his knees, and the people of the Cui family were afraid that he would be too sad and unable to extricate himself, so they wanted to marry a stepfamily in the daytime, so that he could take charge of the five rooms and raise his young daughter.

Because Mrs. An Ning and the wife of the head of the Jiangdong An family are aunts and cousins, they plan to choose a girl of the same age from the An family.

In such a hasty marriage, it is still a steproom, and the daughter of the An family is unwilling to marry.

But An's father is only a concubine, and he has no ability, and her mother's family is only a small family, and being able to marry into the Bofu of Shengjing City, even if it is a stepfamily, is a great opportunity for her.

Cui Wuye's wife did not give birth to an heir, and only had one daughter under his knees.

The girl is raised until she is sixteen years old at most, and she always has to marry out, but if she gives birth to a son, then Mrs. Cui's status is stable.

Therefore, An took the initiative to walk around in front of his aunt, married within the day of Luo's death, became the fifth lady of Anningbo's mansion, gave birth to two daughters one after another, and finally got a son as he wished.

Cui Ling has a very weak impression of her stepmother, only knowing that she doesn't talk much, and is often squeezed out and verbally squeezed by several aunts of the Cui family, but she is never annoyed, and she has never seen what kind of loss she has suffered.

An's is also very light to her, and she can't say how good it is. But I can't find fault with what I didn't do well.

There is no such thing as a shh But clothes for the seasons of the year. The ice in summer and the charcoal in the winter, the daily supply of monthly silver, but always given in a very timely manner, and never deducted her.

Probably to avoid hating each other, so An even exempted Cui Ling from inviting An, and only saw a ceremony in front of people on the day of the family banquet, and never went to her yard to annoy her, and never picked her courtesy.

So. She and An have lived peacefully for twelve years, never talking to each other, but never blushing.

In short, An is such a quiet, but capable woman who thinks about it carefully.

But Cui Ling doesn't care, for her, even her father Cui Chengkai is not a person close to her, let alone An's.

Therefore, although Mu Hibiscus picked up the reason why her stepmother didn't come to visit her in time, she didn't care at all.

It's just that. Since An Shi is here, there is no reason for her not to see her. gently pushed Yue'er, who was still sleeping soundly on her lap, "Hey, get up, if you want to sleep, you have to go back to your yard to sleep, it's not comfortable here." ”

Yue'er heard the movement, got up ignorantly, and asked, "What?" ”

Cui Ling pointed to the saliva on her lips and said with a smile, "Wipe it." ”

After a pause, he said, "My mother-in-law is here, you can either sit aside and entertain me, or go back to your own room and sleep again." ”

Only then did Yue'er know that a guest was visiting, and she couldn't help blushing, "Aunt Five, I was really embarrassed just now!" ”

Cui Ling is just a pregnant woman who has just given birth and is still in confinement, but she is so good that she has slept on someone's lap for a long time, and her saliva is dripping down.

Of course, she didn't want to stay here to entertain guests, so she quickly got up and said, "Then I'll go back first, and come back when you're free." ”

Not long after Yue'er left the house, Hibiscus greeted An into the house.

Cui Ling nodded lightly at An's and saluted, "Why is my mother here?" ”

This is true, but it is also because she doesn't know how to communicate with Ann.

In the past 12 years that they have been together, they have only met at family banquets, and the words they have said add up to less than ten fingers, so they can't understand each other at all.

An's expression was also very rusty, but she was older and a little bit of the city in her heart, so she said with a smile, "I should have come to see you yesterday, but your father was sick and I couldn't get out, so I delayed until now." ”

She laughed, "I just went to see two children, they are really good-looking, especially Brother Ke, I look between his eyebrows, but he is a little like his grandfather's, as heroic!" ”

Cui Ling raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly, and smiled at An's family, which could be regarded as an answer.

Her father Cui Chengkai had a good appearance when he was young, a little more handsome than the shaved Goro, but unfortunately after his mother died, he quickly became depressed and became an alcoholic, often sloppy, and his appearance was not as good as before.

Compared with his peers, he is still a handsome uncle, at most his style is a little decadent, and he can be regarded as a melancholic.

She looks so much that she looks more like Cui Chengkai or Luo, maybe both, but her eyebrows and eyes are indeed more like her father's.

Ke Ge'er was born to her, and it is not surprising that she looks a little like Cui Chengkai in her eyebrows and eyes.

But this set is almost, it doesn't seem to be Ann's style.

According to Cui Ling's perception of An's, the sentence just now should end at most "really good looks", because the relationship between An's and Cui Chengkai is not good, and they respect each other like ice.

She thought about it for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Father is sick?" What disease did he have? Have you ever asked a doctor to see you? Does it matter? ”

An's paused, as if he was a little slurred.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Half a month ago, the emperor announced that your father entered the palace once, and I don't know what Lu Dao said, and when he came back, he got drunk and fell ill the next day. ”

Her eyes narrowed slightly, with a little worry, "At first, I thought it was just a cold or a spleen and stomach, and it would be good to rest for two days." It's just that it got worse and worse, and he couldn't afford to get sick. ”

An Shi sighed, "The old uncle invited a familiar doctor to come and see, saying that he was suffering from liver qi stagnation, and he was sick from hard work, and he prescribed fierce medicine to recuperate, but the prescription has been drunk for several days, but it has never been improved." ”

Cui Ling hung his head and thought about it, Cui Chengkai was just the son of An Ningbo, and his official rank was not high, and he was not qualified to enter the palace to face the saint.

What did the emperor say when he announced that he had entered the palace?

Listening to An's meaning, Cui Chengkai's illness should be a heart disease, and the cause is still the emperor's words.

This is suspicious.

She had the heart to ignore this father, who had never been very close to her, but her heart turned a thousand times, and she still couldn't bear it after all.

Cui Ling sighed, "The so-called prescription for the right medicine can cure the disease, maybe those imperial doctors didn't look at the right place." ”

She shook her head with some pity, "Originally, the old lady Wang's medical skills were very clever, but unfortunately his old man had an accident, although he woke up, his legs were broken, and he couldn't take a look for his father." ”

An Shi also sighed, "The medical skills of the imperial doctors are naturally excellent, but I think your father is afraid that this time it is a heart disease." ”

A worried look appeared on her face, "You're right, heart disease still needs heart medicine, but your father pretended to be asleep when he saw me, and he refused to confide in me half a word." I don't know what happened to him, but where to go to find the right cure for him? ”

Cui Ling hung her head, "My father is sick, and I, as a daughter, should have gone to visit." But I've just given birth, so I'm afraid I won't be able to visit it today......"

She already knew in her heart that An Shi came to visit her today, and he really didn't really want to visit her.

An's just wanted to get a secret from her about Cui Chengkai's sudden serious illness.

Cui Ling sneered in her heart, the relationship between her and her father has always been as cold as ice.

Except for the huge amount of silver tickets he gave her for the first time when she left the cabinet, and the inexplicable revelation of his true feelings on the day she returned to the court, she never even saw him have a silent expression other than her.

He may have loved her as a daughter, but then, with the death of her mother, he may have vaguely hated her.

She thought that everyone in Anningbo Mansion knew this.

Could it be that Ann doesn't think so? Did An still think that Cui Chengkai would tell her these things that he didn't want to tell his wife?

Sure enough, An Shi's expression was a little tangled, "It's not mine." You have just given birth, you should do a good job of confinement, I shouldn't tell you these troubles, and I will make you remember. ”

She smiled and said, "I don't know that your father used to be the emperor's companion, and I heard that the emperor is not in good health, and I'm afraid that time is running out, so I thought of asking your father to enter the palace to speak, thinking that your father was loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and he was sad for a while, so he fell ill, right?" ”

Cui Ling said, "Yes." ”

Cui Chengkai used to be the emperor's companion, but she heard Mrs. An Ning talk about this.

Thirteen years ago, when her mother Luo was still alive, Cui Chengkai's official fortune was prosperous and he was full of ambitions, and he also thought of having something to do and ambition.

But later, after he lost his wife, he became drunk and depressed, and he no longer had a chance to get away with the official future.

Whenever her grandmother, Mrs. An Ningbofu, mentioned this time, in addition to a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel, there was always a lot of resentment towards the deceased Luo Shi in her words, as if Cui Chengkai had today, all thanks to Luo's victims.

Cui Ling's impression of Roche is still very good, and in the three years she lived, she was a well-deserved good mother.

She genuinely regards Roche as her mother.

So when she heard the old lady of An Ning Bofu talk like that, she couldn't let go of it for a while, and frankly speaking, this was actually the main reason why she couldn't get close to the old lady An Ning.

But since Cui Chengkai is the emperor's companion, he hasn't been in contact for the first thirteen years, and when he was dying, the emperor remembered him?

Cui Ling intuitively felt that there must be something going on here, but whether she should take care of it or ignore it, she was a little unsure in her heart.

Anyway, the affairs of the Yuan family are enough to worry about, and now that she is in confinement, she really hasn't done much.

But if she didn't care, she couldn't let Cui Chengkai be depressed like this and die.

Although the man did not give her the fatherly love she expected, she could not deny that he had loved her like that before the age of three.

Cui Ling thought for a while and said, "After my mother goes back, I will bring a message to my father for me, and I will say it...... Let's just say that my brother Ke'er was born like him, and that child hasn't seen his grandfather yet! (To be continued......)
