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

The group walked into the central Buddhist temple.

Inside the hall, a huge golden Buddha statue stands majestically, looking down at all living beings with kind eyes, solemn and dignified.

Taking the incense and candles handed over by the servants, several people knelt down and kowtowed.

Cheng Jiuyuan was extremely pious. In her previous life, she didn’t care much about ghosts and gods, but since such a bizarre thing had happened to her, she believed that it was only because of the blessing of gods and Buddhas that she was able to start over in this life.

After telling her wish to the Buddha, she glanced at the people around her. Without exception, they were all extremely serious.

She looked at Cheng Zongyang. All he wanted was a smooth career in official circles and for Lin to be pregnant with a son.

She glanced at Lin. All she wanted was for the secret to remain a secret forever. The baby in her belly was a boy, so she might have asked for something else.

She looked at Cheng Yunge beside her, only to see her mumbling to herself, as if she was asking for a lot.

From the shape of her lips, she knew that what she was asking for was related to her.

"Sister Cheng, what are you asking the Buddha for?" Zhu Jin came over and whispered.

Madam Zhu pulled her aside and said, "Child, kneel down in front of the Buddha."

Zhu Jin knelt down quickly.

A few people stood up and handed the incense to the servants, who put it in the incense burner.

The housekeeper had sent someone to take care of things earlier. After the few of them burned incense, a young monk came forward to greet them.

"Amitabha, I am honored to meet you, Lord Prime Minister and his wife. The abbot is busy, so I will take you to the guest room."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly: "Young Master, I wonder if we can meet Master Wuwang?"

"Uncle Wuwang will start preaching at noon tomorrow, and then the Prime Minister will be able to see him." After saying this, the little monk turned sideways and said, "Everyone, please follow me."

After saying this, the little monk turned around and led the way, with the group following behind.

It is worthy of being called the Huguo Temple, with a series of temples and painted arches supporting the clouds.

After walking for a while, I saw a small courtyard.

"The two female donors of the Zhu family live in this courtyard. Please come in."

"Thank you." Mrs. Zhu thanked the little monk with a smile.

Zhu Jin looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Sister Cheng, I'll come find you later."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and nodded.

Madam Zhu nodded slightly to Cheng Zongyang and Lin, then entered the yard with her daughter and servants.

The young monk led the Cheng family and continued to move forward.

The winding path leads to a secluded place, where there are zen rooms surrounded by flowers and trees. The last group of people stopped outside a quiet courtyard and pushed the door open to enter.

This yard is much larger than the previous one.

"Everyone, please. There are five rooms in this courtyard. Please wash up and rest first. Someone will bring you vegetarian food later."

"Thank you, little master."

After the young monk left, Cheng Zongyang supported Lin and said softly, "You must be tired. Let's go in and rest first."

Lin nodded and looked at the housekeeper: "Arrange the servants. This is a Buddhist holy place. Be careful and don't cause any trouble."

"Don't worry, madam."

Lin and Cheng Zongyang entered a relatively larger room, while Cheng Jiuyuan and Cheng Yunge each chose one.

The Mu Jin sisters put away the things they brought, asked someone for some hot water, and helped Cheng Jiuyuan wash up.

As soon as noon arrived, vegetarian food was brought in.

The young monk handed the food to Mu Jin and prepared to leave.

Cheng Jiuyuan called him, "Young Master."

The young monk was very polite. When he saw Cheng Jiuyuan coming, he lowered his head and asked, "What do you want, benefactor?"

"I would like to ask, who are the dignitaries who came to burn incense today?"

"After the New Year's Day, there are already many dignitaries coming to burn incense. What's more, tomorrow is the day when Master Wuwang will give a lecture, so even the Fourth Princess, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Princess are here."

Cheng Jiuyuan frowned slightly. Chu Qing is here too?

"Thank you, little master."

The young monk bowed slightly and left.

Cheng Jiuyuan returned to his room and sat at the table, deep in thought.

Mu Jin set out the vegetarian meal and asked, "Girl, what are you worried about?"

"Chu Qing is here too."

"Miss, you are worrying too much. This is the Huguo Temple, a pure land of Buddhism. Even if the fourth princess is lawless, she would not dare to mess around here."

"You don't understand her. She relies on the Queen and the Wei family behind her to do whatever she wants, regardless of where she is."

Song Lan stepped forward and said, "Then can I ask my servant to tell Miss Zhu? Tell her to be careful with the Fourth Princess."

"Okay, tell Aunt Zhu too."

"Yes." Song Lan turned and left the room.

"Young lady, please don't worry. I just saw that the Zhu family brought a lot of servants with them. Nothing will happen. Young lady, please have your meal first."

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't expect that this trip would be so lively. There were only three people from the royal family.

Just after lunch, I heard Zhu Jin's voice coming from the yard.

"Sister Cheng."

Soon Zhu Jin entered the room. She walked to Cheng Jiuyuan and said in a low voice, "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"Goodbye?"

"Well, Master Wuwang's lecture is something you can only encounter once in a while. I originally planned to listen to the lecture tomorrow and then go back, but my mother learned that Chu Qing was here and she became worried about me, so we have to go back this afternoon."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded: "Nothing is more important than your safety, it's better to avoid it."

Zhu Jin gritted his teeth and said, "This Chu Qing is really haunting me. Am I going to be stuck in this mansion forever? Is there still any law?"

"Go back first. I'll send two people who know Kung Fu to escort you back to the city."

Zhu Jin took Cheng Jiuyuan's arm, put his head on her shoulder, and hummed in a muffled voice.

The two chatted for a long time, and Cheng Jiuyuan promised to go boating with her after returning. Only then did Zhu Jin leave in a depressed mood.

Cheng Jiuyuan asked Mu Jin to arrange two guards from the Pei family to escort Zhu Jin back.

Not long after Zhu Jin left, Chu Heng and Chu Wan came again.

Cheng Jiuyuan personally poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Chu Wan held the tea and smiled slyly.

"I was wondering why my brother suddenly came to the Huguo Temple. It turns out..."

Chu Heng looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and explained, "When I was leaving the palace, I ran into this girl, and she insisted on coming with me."

Chu Wan pouted: "Royal brother, you have changed. In the past, you took me with you wherever you went and never thought I was a burden. Now that you have a royal sister-in-law, you have forgotten your royal sister."

The word "Emperor's sister-in-law" made the atmosphere a little subtle, and Chu Heng glanced at Cheng Jiuyuan.

Cheng Jiuyuan coughed lightly: "Princess, I am only engaged to the Fifth Prince..."

Chu Wan waved her hand: "It's only a matter of time."

After a while, she spoke again: "Why did Chu Qing come here as well? To pray for our father? Tsk, who would believe that?"

"This is for father to see. Don't mess with her. Because of what happened last time, her title was stripped away. Be careful of her revenge." Chu Heng warned.

Chu Wan originally wanted to say that she was not afraid of Chu Qing, but when she thought of the Wei family behind her, she sighed.

"It would be great if the Wei family was gone."

Chu Heng and Cheng Jiuyuan looked at each other.

There are many people who want to get rid of the Wei family, but no one is willing to take the lead.

If we can unite these people, it is possible to compete with the Wei family.

"Yongle, be careful of your mouth."

Chu Wan whispered, "I only said this in front of my brother and Sister Cheng."

After leaving the capital and arriving at the Huguo Temple, even those with heavy worries would feel a little more relaxed.

The environment is quiet and the scent of sandalwood fills the quaint room.

The three of them sat together drinking tea and chatting, feeling very comfortable.

At this moment, Mu Jin came in hurriedly: "Miss, it's bad! The guards sent to escort Miss Zhu have sent out a distress signal!"
