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

Cheng Jiuyuan looked towards the door.

The young man came against the wind, wearing a moon-white robe and a jade ribbon to tie his hair. Except for a piece of jade around his waist, there was no other decoration on his body. He was tall and straight, with a bright brow and a gentle smile, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

You are truly a jade tree on the steps of the Jade River. There are few people like you in this world.

Thinking of such a brilliant person who was frustrated in his previous life and finally died tragically as a result of Chu Ze's scheme, Cheng Jiuyuan's hatred deepened.

Pei Xuan saw the little girl at the top, who was dressed very simply because she was in mourning for her mother. She had a round face and eyes, and her skin was smooth and flawless with a faint pink color. She looked cute and delicate.

He walked closer and tapped Cheng Jiuyuan on the forehead with his hand: "Little cousin, don't you like your cousin? You were smiling and talking just now, but you frowned when you saw your cousin."

The last line of his voice rose, carrying the youthful vigor that is unique to young people.

Sheng glared at him and said, "You are so unruly. You haven't even greeted your grandmother yet."

Pei Xuan bowed and saluted: "Grandmother, mother."

Mrs. Pei looked at her outstanding grandson, nodded with satisfaction, and introduced him to Cheng Jiuyuan: "This is your eldest cousin Pei Xuan."

Cheng Jiuyuan stood up and saluted: "Cousin."

Sheng said softly, "You have two more cousins. You will meet them later."

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

As soon as Sheng finished speaking, she heard a slightly mischievous voice coming from outside.

"Mom, has my cousin arrived?"

Soon, two young boys came in one after another.

The two of them were wearing the same student uniform and must have just returned from school.

No one in the Pei family is ugly. Her mother is known as "the most beautiful woman in Gusu". Although her uncle is over 30 years old, he is still very elegant.

The three cousins ​​also inherited the best qualities of their uncle and aunt.

The two of them came in, bowed to Madam Pei and Sheng, and immediately surrounded Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Cousin, I'm your second cousin, my name is Pei Yan, and this is your third cousin Pei Jin."

The two looked somewhat similar and dressed the same, but their personalities were completely different.

Pei Yan has a lively personality, is good at speaking, and loves to laugh.

Pei Jin's face was cold, he just bowed and called her "cousin", and didn't know how to start again.

Cheng Jiuyuan bowed again.

Pei Yan pulled her and said, "Cousin, let's go, it was already snowing when we came back just now. It should be snowing by now. Let's go play in the snow."

As he said that, he was about to pull Cheng Jiuyuan out.

"What are you doing? Your cousin has only been traveling for ten days. Why is she playing in the snow? What if she gets frozen?" Old Mrs. Pei quickly pulled her granddaughter to her side.

"Isn't it? You naughty monkeys think your cousin is you. Go back to your room and change your clothes. Let your cousin go back to her room and have a rest. We can have a lively family dinner tonight." Sheng waved at her sons with disdain.

Pei Xuan bowed to his grandmother and mother and said, "Let's go back to our room first." Then he walked out, holding his younger brother in each hand.

"Brother, let go, I can walk by myself!"

As soon as the three young men left, the room suddenly became quiet.

Mrs. Pei looked at her granddaughter and said softly, "Ignore those monkeys. Go back to your yard and rest. The girl will invite you to the dinner later."

Sheng stood up and took Cheng Jiuyuan's hand: "Come on, auntie will take you to your yard."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Madam Pei and said, "Then Yuan'er will go first."

Madam Pei nodded: "Go ahead."

Sheng took Cheng Jiuyuan to the door, helped her put on a cloak, and stuffed a hand warmer in her arms before leading her out.

It was indeed snowing outside, and Sheng held an umbrella for her, protecting her very well.

The Pei Mansion is not smaller than the Xiang Mansion, but every place here is poetic and picturesque.

Pavilions and towers are like clouds, and rockery and strange rocks are lined up.

The waterside pavilion is built by the water. Although it is winter, there are still exotic flowers and plants blooming around the water.

Along the way, Sheng roughly explained the layout to her.

"You came here when you were very young, but you certainly can't remember it now."

The group finally came to a courtyard with a plaque on the archway that read "Cuizhu Garden".

"This courtyard is closest to your grandmother's Changchun Hall. Take a look. If you find anything that doesn't suit your taste, your aunt will change it for you."

The yard is beautiful, with the eaves covered with snow and the walls covered with unknown wild fruits, which are even more bright red after being washed by the snow.

At the foot of the wall, lush green bamboos stand bathed in the snow.

The garden is elegant, spacious and full of elegance and interest.

"Yuan'er likes it very much. Thank you for your concern, aunt."

"Let's go in and take a look."

As you push the door open, a fresh and elegant fragrance greets you.

A set of tea sets painted with white sweet porcelain is placed on a round table with soft rhombus-shaped gauze sticks, tender flowers and warm jade. There is a desk in front of the window, on which are all the four treasures of the study.

Around the screen, there is a dressing table and bed.

Cheng Jiuyuan had seen a lot of fine things in his previous life, so he could naturally recognize at a glance that every item in the room was of great value.

The Pei family is indeed the richest family in Gusu.

"Thank you, aunt, for preparing such a nice yard for Yuan'er."

"You are such a polite child. Your aunt wants a daughter. From now on, you should treat your aunt as your mother."

Sheng gave birth to three boys and had no resistance to such a soft, sweet and sensible girl.

Sheng looked at the two maids beside her and said, "Come here and meet the young lady."

The two girls, no more than twelve or thirteen years old and with pretty faces, came forward together and saluted.

"Meet the girl."

"Get up." Cheng Jiuyuan asked someone to get up and looked at Sheng.

"Let these two maids follow you from now on. The second-class maid and the maid for the chores will wait outside the door."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.

"You should rest first. Your aunt will send someone to call you for the dinner."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded obediently.

Sheng pinched Cheng Jiuyuan's little face and said, "So good."

"Okay, help you girls wash up."

"Yes."

Cheng Jiuyuan bowed: "Take care, aunt."

"Miss, let me help you with your hair."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded and sat in front of the makeup mirror.

"What are your names?"

"We two servants are sisters. I am the elder sister, and my name is Mu Jin."

"The servant Songlan."

Cheng Jiuyuan raised her eyes and asked, "What's the name of the herb?"

"Yes, my father runs a clinic."

"Then why..."

A hint of sadness flashed across the elder sister Mu Jin's eyes, while the younger sister's face was full of anger.

"Miss, you don't know that my father has saved countless lives as a doctor, but because that bastard county magistrate fell in love with my mother, my family was ruined. That bastard official..."

"Song Lan, don't talk too much in front of the girl!" Mu Jin saw Cheng Jiuyuan frowning and immediately stopped her sister.

Cheng Jiuyuan did not blame Song Lan, but heard the county magistrate mentioned by Song Lan. The county magistrate's surname was Weng, and he was Weng Ruyi's father.

Her uncle and aunt are childhood sweethearts, and their friendship is stronger than gold.

I don't know why he married Weng Ruyi.

Thinking about how more than a hundred people in the Pei family died in the previous life, but Weng Ruyi was able to escape unscathed.

The Pei family is the richest family in Gusu and has some connections in the officialdom. Even if they were to fail, it would not happen so quickly.

She still remembered that Cheng Yunge said that the Pei Mansion was destroyed not long after her marriage.

This must be the work of Weng Ruyi!

"Please forgive me, young lady. I, your servant, your servant..."

"fine."

She understood the sisters' indignation. It was better that the two of them had a grudge against the Weng family.
