The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

As the New Year approaches, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger.

The servants were busy sweeping the remaining snow, hanging lanterns and pasting window decorations.

The snow stopped and the sky cleared. The clouds in the sky dispersed, the mist dissipated, and the whole prime minister's mansion gradually had a festive atmosphere.

After Cheng Jiuyuan had breakfast, he took Mu Jin and Song Lan out of the house.

"Where are you going, girl?" the driver asked.

"I haven't seen Aunt Zhou for a long time. I miss her so much. Let's go give her some festival gifts."

"Then sit tight, girl. We'll be leaving now." The driver said 'Go!' and the carriage headed towards the north of the city.

The area north of Beijing is not as lively as the south of the city, and is mostly fields and farms.

The carriage traveled for more than an hour before it stopped.

"Girl, here we are."

Hibiscus and Indigo got out of the car first, then carefully helped the person down.

This is Lin's dowry farm. It is not big and is surrounded by crops. It is very quiet.

Cheng Jiuyuan led the Mu Jin sisters inside, but didn't see anyone for a long time.

Mu Jin went forward and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"

"Who is it?" After a long while, the door opened from the inside.

"Who are you?" A shrewd woman in her thirties stuck her head out from inside the door and looked at the three people with a wary expression.

"This is the second young lady from the Xiangfu."

"Oh! It's the second young lady. Please come in, please come in!" The woman immediately opened the door a little wider and welcomed Cheng Jiuyuan and the other two in.

"Don't be offended, Second Miss. We are the only one guarding this farm. My husband hasn't come back yet. I am the only one in the house. I am sorry for neglecting you. What are you doing here, Second Miss?"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked around and asked, "Where is Aunt Zhou?"

"In the backyard. Aunt Zhou gets sick from time to time, so it's better for you not to go and see her." The woman quickly poured a glass of water for Cheng Jiuyuan.

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips and smiled.

Zhou was not crazy at all. She was poisoned and was screaming because she had an unbearable headache.

The effect of the poison had worn off long ago, and Lin was trying to trap her to death, so naturally she said that her madness had not been cured.

Cheng Jiuyuan took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the woman, saying, "Don't worry, my mother and I are of the same mind. I just want to see Aunt Zhou."

The woman took the letter, opened it, and saw that it was in the lady's handwriting, so she was relieved.

Cheng Jiuyuan knew that the reason why Lin was able to send Zhou here was because this place was completely under Lin's control, and the couple guarding the manor were her confidants.

She went to Lin Manqing's place yesterday, and they had a frank talk. She asked for a handwritten letter from Lin Manqing.

"Then please follow me, girl."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and followed his wife out of the front hall and went to the backyard.

To get to the backyard, one had to pass through several doors, each of which was locked with a heavy lock, and the woman had the key.

I walked all the way to the last yard and saw two strong men guarding the door.

"This is the second young lady from the Xiangfu Mansion. Open the door."

The woman has a high status and her words are very effective.

When Cheng Jiuyuan entered the yard, she saw several old women standing in the yard, eating melon seeds and chatting.

As soon as he saw the woman come in, he stood up quickly.

"This is the second young lady from the Xiangfu."

"Hello, second lady."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded slightly.

"Open the door. The second young lady wants to see Aunt Zhou."

The old women looked at each other.

"Second Miss, you'd better not go in. It's really…"

A maid nearby said quickly, "It's not that we old ladies didn't clean up, it's just that Aunt Zhou got sick and started hitting and biting..."

"It's okay, I'll be out in a few words."

Seeing that they couldn't get the upper hand, a maid took out the key and went forward to open the door.

"Just wait outside."

"Then the second girl, take care of yourself."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded and walked into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I found that it was dark. It turned out that the inside of the windows were sealed with wooden boards, and only a little light came through the gaps.

A musty smell mixed with a foul odor hit her in the face, and Cheng Jiuyuan walked in, covering her mouth and nose.

The room is divided into two parts, with tables and chairs outside, which is quite normal.

As we went further in, the stench became more pronounced.

I saw that there was no bed in the inner room. The floor was covered with straw. There was a bulge on the straw, and a human shape could be vaguely seen.

"Auntie Zhou?"

The dark shadow moved, and suddenly sat up with a giggle, covered with a tattered quilt, looking crazy.

"Stop acting, I know you are pretending." Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips and said softly.

Zhou looked behind Cheng Jiuyuan, immediately threw away the pillow and was about to step forward.

A stone flew from Cheng Jiuyuan's hand and pressed Zhou's acupoints.

Zhou suddenly couldn't move, her face full of confusion.

But when she looked at Cheng Jiuyuan, her face was full of hope.

"Second Miss, you are here! Take me back to the mansion quickly. I want to tell the master that Lin Manqing is a bitch with a vicious heart!"

Cheng Jiuyuan chuckled, "I'm afraid my aunt will never be able to go back."

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan's expression, Zhou understood instantly, "You and Lin Manqing are in the same group!"

Zhou's expression changed completely.

She knew Lin Manqing's secret. Lin Manqing wanted her life, so she could only pretend to be crazy and stupid to live one more day.

"Second Miss, I have always been kind to you, how could you team up with outsiders to harm me like this!"

The expression on Cheng Jiuyuan's face disappeared instantly.

"You've been kind to me? Do you think what you did was perfect?"

"You, what do you know?" The flesh on Zhou's face trembled violently, and her eyes were full of fear.

"My mother has been very kind to you. How have you treated her?"

"That's none of my business! It was Zhou Jingxian! It was Zhou Jingxian who did it!"

"Oh, it's already this time, there's no need to quibble."

"Second Miss, Second Miss, have you been bewitched by that bitch Lin Manqing? Listen to me, she is a fickle bitch! She is pregnant with a bastard! He is not your brother at all! She is bringing shame to the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

"I don't care who she is. So what if she brings discredit to the Prime Minister's Mansion? I'm not Cheng Zongyang, I don't care about the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She didn't harm me, but you, you killed my mother, you deserve to die!"

"You, you!" Zhou's eyes widened.

She didn't expect that Cheng Jiuyuan didn't even care about Cheng Zongyang and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and didn't care when she heard that Lin was pregnant with a bastard.

"Why are you so surprised? You deserve to die, and so does Cheng Zongyang! He was able to take the imperial examinations thanks to my maternal family, but he dared to divorce his wife and remarry, causing my mother to become ill from grief. After my mother died, he knew that you were the one behind it, but for the sake of his so-called reputation and to protect your two children, he kept the secret. Don't you think he deserves to die?"

"Don't worry, you go to hell and wait for him first. People like you will go to hell after you die."

Speaking of this, Cheng Jiuyuan's emotions were surging and there was some hatred in his eyes.

Zhou laughed a few times and said sternly, "Your mother deserved to die! The Prime Minister and I loved each other. When I married the Prime Minister, I didn't even know your mother existed! She turned me from a wife into a concubine and made my two children illegitimate. Do you think she deserves to die?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes.

If it is said that Zhou did not know about her mother's existence and married Cheng Zongyang, this can still be forgiven, but it is Cheng Zongyang who should be damned.

But what she did later was enough to make her die a thousand times!

Cheng Jiuyuan suppressed her emotions and showed a beautiful smile.

"I think you have heard that Cheng Changchuan is dead?"
