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

When Cheng Jiuyuan arrived at the front hall, he heard a lot of noise inside the house.

"Brother, you're really spoiling the fun. You start testing me on my academic knowledge as soon as we meet. Next time I see you, I'll have to take a detour." Pei Yan's dissatisfied voice could be heard from a distance.

"The annual examination is coming soon. If you get a grade of Dingxia again this year, I will tell you how I will deal with you."

"Hey, I'm not good at studying. It's enough for the Pei family to have you and the third child who can study. Why do you have to force me?"

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "Second cousin may not be interested in this."

"Hey? Cousin, you're here?"

Cheng Jiuyuan bowed slightly: "Meet my three cousins."

"My cousin is indeed a lady from a wealthy family, but it's strange to be so polite at home." Pei Yan smiled and walked forward to hold the hand of his little cousin.

This little cousin is pretty, but acts like a little adult. I want to tease her as soon as I see her.

Pei Xuan was sitting on a chair playing with his newly acquired flute. Seeing this, he mercilessly hit Pei Yan on the back of his hand with the flute, and Pei Yan immediately cried out.

"Don't be rude to your cousin. Boys and girls should not sit at the same table after they are seven years old. Your cousin is already seven years old. Although there are not many rules for the family dinner tonight, you should restrain yourself."

Pei Jin sneered: "You deserve it."

Pei Yan saw the back of his hand turn red, and immediately asked Cheng Jiuyuan to be fair: "Cousin, the two of them always team up to bully my second cousin, you have to stand on my second cousin's side."

Cheng Jiuyuan chuckled and pretended to be distressed: "They are all Yuan'er's cousins. They are all my flesh and blood. It's really embarrassing for Yuan'er."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

I saw Old Master Pei walking in front, followed by Sheng supporting Old Madam Pei, and Pei Xiu following at the end.

Several juniors immediately stood up and saluted.

"It's a family dinner tonight. No need to be polite. Everyone, take a seat. Yuan'er, come sit next to your grandmother."

"This..." Cheng Jiuyuan hesitated.

Although she had just arrived at the Pei family, she could see that although the Pei family was a merchant family, the rules were very strict.

"It's okay, go ahead. There's no need to be so particular about a family dinner." Sheng said with a smile.

The whole family sat around the table, having a lively time.

After waiting for a long time, the maids started serving the dishes, but there was no sign of Weng Ruyi.

Cheng Jiuyuan secretly wondered if it was this Weng Ruyi who was putting on airs by relying on her status as an official's daughter?

After everyone washed their hands, the maids began to serve the food.

Old Mrs. Pei kept adding food to Cheng Jiuyuan's bowl with the serving chopsticks.

"Yuan'er, there's no need to be restrained in your own home. You're too skinny."

Cheng Jiuyuan glanced at her round fingers. To be honest, even though her mother had passed away in her previous life, Zhou had never treated her harshly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses. Instead, she had spoiled her and made her as stupid as a pig.

What's more, her mother was still alive before she was seven years old, and she had been living a comfortable life until now, so it was not a problem that she was too thin.

But my grandmother always felt that she had suffered a lot, and her eyes were full of pity.

"Well, let Xiu'er take Yuan'er to find Jin'er's master tomorrow and ask her to prescribe some tonic medicine for Yuan'er." Old Master Pei said.

Pei Xiu nodded.

At this time, Pei Jin said, "It just so happens that I will be on vacation tomorrow and will also go to Master's place. I will go with you tomorrow."

Pei Yan immediately joined in the fun: "I'm going too!"

"Have you completed the homework assigned by the teacher?" Pei Xiu glanced at him, and Pei Yan immediately hung his head with a resentful look in his eyes.

Cheng Jiuyuan asked, "Is my third cousin studying medicine?"

Pei Jin nodded, "My master is a very remarkable person. Have you heard of the Judge of Life and Death?"

Although the boy was calm, he was still young after all, and he couldn't hide the pride on his face.

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes lit up.

Yan Guihong, the judge of life and death, was the person Chu Ze could not get in his previous life. Unexpectedly, he was actually the master of his third cousin!

"Then will your master still accept disciples?" Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Pei Jin with sparkling eyes.

Pei Jin looked embarrassed. Seeing her little cousin like this, it was hard for her to say no.

"My master has a very strange temper. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Pei Xiu looked at his niece: "Yuan'er wants to study medicine?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.

She did not forget that Zhou was a medical expert.

Not only does she want to learn medicine, she also wants to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, kung fu and strategy!

These are the confidence she will use to take revenge in the future.

She lived a comfortable life in her previous life. In her next life, she will not be a lazy person again!

"Then go ask Senior Yan what she thinks tomorrow. If she doesn't agree, that's fine. I'll find you a powerful teacher."

The Pei family is wealthy and powerful. There are always people with excellent medical skills in this world. With money, these things are not difficult to achieve.

Cheng Jiuyuan has already made up his mind to take Yan Guihong as his master. Yan Guihong is not only an expert in medicine and poisons, but also has unparalleled martial arts skills.

Otherwise, with his eccentric temper, he would have been beaten to death by gangsters or imprisoned by the powerful.

In his previous life, Chu Ze sent out so many forces, but he didn’t even see the shadow of Yan Guihong.

"Why should a girl learn medicine, or learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting or women's crafts?" Mrs. Pei showed disapproval on her face.

She was able to raise a daughter who became the "most talented woman in Suzhou", so raising her granddaughter would be no problem at all.

Cheng Jiuyuan said, "Grandma, I want to learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting that ladies from wealthy families should learn. I also want to learn medicine. I want grandpa and grandma to stay healthy and accompany me forever."

Old Mrs. Pei put down her chopsticks and hugged Cheng Jiuyuan in her arms, loving her so much.

"My Yuan'er is so considerate, but you are too tired."

"Yuan'er is not afraid of being tired."

Everyone thought it was just a whim of the child, and she would give up when she got tired.

"If you want to learn, then learn. The better. Yuan'er will have to return to the capital eventually, so you can't let those people look down on you."

"Xiu'er, you will start hiring a teacher with a large sum of money tomorrow. His teacher must not be worse than those of the noble ladies in the capital. Spend more money." Old Master Pei spoke slowly.

"Yes."

"Have a drink with Dad."

The cold wind howled outside the window, the chill biting to the bone. The branches of the plum tree in the yard swayed in front of the window, casting dark shadows all over the ground.

Snowflakes and winter plums are intertwined in the air, like silver butterflies dancing among the flowers.

The cold wind brought the fragrance of winter plum blossoms into the house, making it warm as spring and filled with laughter and joy.

"Meet the fragrant garden of winter plums and enjoy the joy of family. Cousin, now that you are here, this family is complete." Pei Xuan sighed as he looked at the smiles on his grandparents' faces.

From childhood to adulthood, what he heard most was that his aunt had a miserable life and was entrusted to the wrong people. Whenever his grandparents talked about his aunt, they would be silent for a long time.

Now that the little cousin has come, the two elders look much better.

Old Mrs. Pei looked at her granddaughter, as if she saw her daughter when she was a child. She thought about her daughter's life. She had no shortage of money and was even the prime minister's wife, but she still suffered all her life.

When Yuan'er chooses a husband in the future, she will make sure to choose carefully.

The atmosphere in the room was harmonious, but at this moment, a discordant voice came from outside the door.

"My husband is back, why didn't you come to take me back home?"
