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

"I am incompetent, please forgive me, Princess!" Jiang Xiubai knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said in a cold voice.

Chu Qing threw a teacup at him: "You're a piece of trash!"

Jiang Xiubai did not dodge and took the blow head-on. Blood gushed out of his forehead instantly, but he seemed not to feel the pain and continued to kneel straight.

"Tell me, how many chances have I given you?"

"Master Wuwang's martial arts are superb..."

"Shut up!" Chu Qing shouted, "When we get back to the palace, go back to your uncle. I don't want to keep useless people!"

Jiang Xiubai breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the secret guards who were sent back would experience the death crisis again, as long as they survived, they would no longer have to stay with this spoiled and stupid princess.

Chu Qing looked at the maid beside her and said, "Go pack your luggage. There's no point in staying here. I don't want to stay in this broken Zen room any longer!"

"Yes."

Only when they learned that Chu Qing had left did the Zhu mother and daughter breathe a sigh of relief.

Not long after Chu Qing left, Master Zhu hurried over.

As soon as Zhu Jin saw his father, his eyes turned red with grievance.

"father."

Zhu Zhili touched his daughter's head and looked at his wife who was lying on the bed with a pale face.

Seeing that her forehead and arms were wrapped in bandages, a fierce look flashed across his eyes.

He stepped forward quickly, "How is it?"

"I took the medicine and I feel much better." Mrs. Zhu held her old man's hand and said, "Master, they are going too far!"

"I know, I know. I have lived a comfortable life for too long these years, and even lost my integrity as a scholar. This time, I will not swallow my anger anymore!"

"But sir, the Wei family..."

"If you keep giving in, the situation will only get worse."

"Dad, from now on your daughter will stay at home and won't make you worry anymore." Zhu Jin stepped forward and said softly.

Zhu Zhili sighed and touched his daughter's cheek.

He was such a coward that his wife and daughter were bullied to such an extent.

Over the years, many people have been harmed by the prince's faction, but they all endured it in silence, which only encouraged their arrogance.

Then he will be the first one, even if blood is splattered in the Golden Palace, he must warn everyone.

Cheng Jiuyuan was reading in her room when Mu Jin came in and said, "Miss, Master Zhu wants you to come over."

Cheng Jiuyuan put down the book and took the Mu Jin sisters to the Zhu family's meditation room.

As soon as she entered the room, Master Zhu bowed deeply to her.

Cheng Jiuyuan quickly turned sideways and said, "Master, you are embarrassing me."

"Second Miss Cheng, you have saved my daughter many times. My daughter is my life, you deserve this gift."

"Zhu Jin is my good friend, so I will help him. What is the purpose of the Master asking me to come here?"

"I think Miss Cheng doesn't want others to know that you are the one who saved my daughter. You live in the same courtyard with the Prime Minister and others. If I go to thank you, I'm afraid that Miss Cheng will be exposed. I have no choice but to ask Miss Cheng to come."

"Thank you, Master Taifu, for thinking of me."

"Miss Cheng, please take a seat." The old tutor personally poured a cup of tea for Cheng Jiuyuan.

Cheng Jiuyuan sat opposite him and thanked him.

"Miss Cheng has no shortage of silver and treasures, and I can't offer you anything good as a thank you gift. However, if you need my help in the future, please just ask. If I am gone, my three thousand disciples can also help you..."

Cheng Jiuyuan was shocked, "What is the Master going to do?"

Zhu Zhili took a sip of tea and looked out the door with a gloomy look. "Over the years, the Wei family has been covering up all kinds of wrongful cases. I want to beat the drum to redress the injustice for the people!"

"How confident is the Grand Master that he can defeat the Wei family?"

"The Wei family..." Zhu Zhili shook his head. "The main branch of the Wei family cannot be moved. Maybe only a few branches can be moved."

"That's really not worth it, Master, think twice."

"A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. I will use my blood to sound a warning to all the officials and make the Wei family restrain themselves. It will be worth it."

"You are the backbone of the country. It is not worth it to exchange your life for the lives of a few insignificant villains. I know that you have tolerated the Wei family for a long time, but the Wei family is not the only one who suffers in the world."

Seeing that the old master was determined to leave, Cheng Jiuyuan continued to persuade him, "Even if you sacrifice your life, how long can you deter the Wei family? After these few days, the Wei family has become even more aggressive. Look, those who oppose the Wei family, even you, the master, have not had a good ending. Isn't this counterproductive?"

"Then do nothing?"

Cheng Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his expression relaxed.

She really admired the integrity and character of the literati, but if she couldn't achieve the desired effect, wouldn't it be a waste of her life?

"If the Master believes me, wait a little longer."

"Wait until how long?" Zhu Zhili asked.

"Master, haven't you noticed that in recent years, there have been more and more voices of dissatisfaction with the Wei family in the court?"

"But the Wei family did not restrain themselves at all. Instead, they became even more presumptuous."

"Did His Majesty say anything?"

Zhu Zhili reacted: "You mean, His Majesty deliberately condoned this?"

"If you want to destroy them, you must make them crazy. Just as the Grand Tutor said just now, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole. The Wei family is confident that military power is supreme. Military power is important, but the people's hearts are more important."

Zhu Zhili sighed and said, "You don't know that there is no one available in Dongling. The available ones are all in the Wei family."

"Then let's train someone who can replace the Wei family."

Zhu Zhili shook his head: "It's not that simple. Wei Tiankuang has made great achievements in the war. Even if the Wei family has committed many crimes, Wei Tiankuang himself is very popular among the people."

"Being more popular than the emperor is not a good thing. As for military merits? Ha!" Cheng Jiuyuan sneered.

But she didn't say much, just looked at the old tutor and said: "If the tutor believes me, I will be patient for a while and plan slowly."

"Then I must have a direction to plan."

"Someone will come to you, Master. Do not think of risking your life again. Your life is precious!"

As long as the old tutor is here, his network of connections will be there.

If the old tutor is gone, who would go against the Wei family for a dead person?

Master Zhu looked at Cheng Jiuyuan deeply.

"I was right. Second Miss Cheng is definitely not an ordinary person."

It is rumored that the Fifth Prince is close to the Crown Prince, but the Cheng family has an engagement with the Fifth Prince and they are one.

What she said could more or less represent the Fifth Prince's intention.

We can't just look at the surface, the Fifth Prince might have other plans.

The old master's eyes lit up.

Compared to the Crown Prince, he naturally prefers the Fifth Prince.

Thinking back to the time when the former crown prince was such a wise heir to the throne.

The Fifth Prince, who is born to the same mother as me, is definitely not as simple as he appears to be.

He suddenly felt some hope. If the Fifth Prince wanted to fight for that position, he would be willing to lend a helping hand.

He just mentioned that someone would come to see him, so he would wait.

It's time for him to move around some of his relationships recently.

"Taifu, just figure it out."

"Don't call me Grand Tutor, just call me Uncle. I wish I had a daughter like you, but unfortunately Jin'er is such a naughty girl."

"I wish the girl to be innocent and romantic. Only a girl who grew up in love can be like this. Yuan'er is very envious."

Thinking of Cheng Jiuyuan's mother's death in such a tragic way at a young age, Grand Tutor Zhu said with sympathy: "Grand Tutor's Mansion will be your second home from now on. You can come anytime."

"Then thank you, Uncle Zhu."
