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

Luan An just wanted to go to the toilet, but he didn't expect that disaster would happen.

He was about to attack, but when he saw the woman's face clearly, he realized that she was one of the people who had just followed Miss Cheng in, so he quickly withdrew his hand.

Those punches were like tickles to him, but when he heard her shouting for help, he subconsciously reached out and covered the woman's mouth.

"Indecent, indecent... um..."

Luan An didn't dare to hold it too tightly, for if he wasn't paying attention the girl would grab his hand and bite it hard.

Zhu Jin thought of what had happened in the past few times and reacted more violently this time. He took a bite, using all his strength.

Luan An groaned and stretched out his other hand to pinch Zhu Jin's cheek.

Zhu Jin felt pain and relaxed. She reacted very quickly and punched Luan An twice in the face.

It happened in a flash. Mu Jin and Song Lan reacted and hurried forward to pull the two apart.

Luan An covered his face with one hand and shook his other hand continuously, leaving a circle of blue and red teeth marks on the back of his hand.

"Mu Jin! Hurry up and catch this guy!" When Zhu Jin saw the Mu Jin sisters coming, his face lit up with joy and he shouted immediately.

"...Miss Zhu, this is Lord Luan, the Minister of Justice."

Although the Mu Jin sisters were maids, in order to help Cheng Jiuyuan, they had a thorough understanding of all the officials in the court.

Zhu Jin was too well protected by his family. Like his mother, he did not like to attend banquets. Even if he did, he would not pay attention to the men's seats, so he did not know many officials in the court.

Luan An glanced at the quiet Zhu Jin with a dim gaze. If he hadn't considered that she was Miss Cheng's friend, even a hundred of them would not be his match.

"Wasn't he sent by Chu Qing?" Zhu Jin looked at Luan An suspiciously.

Hibiscus shook her head slowly.

Yun Er stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, it seems like there's a misunderstanding."

"But he has been following me... Even if he was not sent by Chu Qing, he doesn't look like a good person..." Zhu Jin spoke the second half of the sentence in a lower and lower voice.

Luan An was a martial artist, and his face darkened immediately after hearing this.

"Girl, why am I not a good person? I just went to the backyard, why did you follow me?"

Zhu Jin knew that she was in the wrong, and she was afraid of the ropes after being bitten by a snake once.

She lowered her head and picked at her fingers, and apologized softly: "I'm... I'm sorry, go to the clinic and I'll pay for your medicine."

He needs her medicine money? Luan An snorted coldly and turned away.

Luan An covered his face and went into the private room. Chu Heng looked up and saw that this man had just gone out looking like a gentleman, but now he came back with two purple eye sockets and a tooth mark on his hand.

Chu Heng laughed twice: "What are you doing?"

Shan Lan, who had watched the whole thing from a distance, gloated and said, "She was treated as a lunatic by the daughter of Master Zhu. The beating she gave her was so painful to watch."

Chu Heng chuckled, and even Chi Zhang, who had an expressionless face, raised the corners of his mouth.

"You're still laughing. If it weren't for your sake, that crazy girl is your future wife's friend, I would have slapped her away with one palm."

Chu Heng patted his shoulder and said soothingly, "You are a man, how dare you argue with a little girl?"

Luan An reached out his hand and touched his eye sockets, and hissed, "What did you eat to grow up so strong?"

Zhu Jin returned to the private room and ate with his head down.

Cheng Jiuyuan saw that she was so silent, which was not in line with her character.

She quietly asked Mu Jin: "What's wrong? What's going on?"

Mu Jin whispered something to Cheng Jiuyuan. Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes flashed with surprise and he looked at Zhu Jin.

After dinner, they left the restaurant together, got on the carriage and drove away.

After leaving Ruyi Tower, Zhu Jin put what had just happened behind him and started chatting with Cheng Jiuyuan again.

In spring, the mountains are soft and the waters are beautiful, and the city is full of colorful flowers.

The lake is rippling with clear water and willows are swaying on the shore.

A few people were walking and playing by the lake. Zhu Jin reached out and broke off a willow branch, weaved it into a wreath and put it on Cheng Jiuyuan's head.

"So lovely!"

The group boarded the pleasure boat, and the maids quickly set out tea, snacks and chess boards.

The four girls reached out to the lake water at the bow. It was afternoon, and the water was still icy cold in early spring, but not too freezing.

After playing in the water, they sprinkled some fish food to attract fish, and bursts of laughter floated across the lake.

After feeling a little tired from playing, a few people entered the houseboat.

Zhu Jin leaned on the couch and ate some fruit: "Oh, I'm so happy today. I haven't been so happy in a long time. I feel so sad when I think that after today, I will have to stay in the mansion again."

"Let's not worry about trivial things today. Do you want to play chess?" Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Yan Yu.

"We haven't played for a long time, let's play a game."

Cheng Jiuyuan and Yan Yu sat on both sides of the chessboard, while Zhu Jin and Chu Wan sat beside them to serve as their military advisors, feeding them snacks and water from time to time.

"Sister Cheng, get down here."

"Sister Yu, you are walking in the wrong direction."

Chu Wan and Zhu Jin were chattering about everything, while Yan Yu and Cheng Jiuyuan were smiling good-naturedly and said nothing.

But later on, the game became tense and the two of them began to frown.

For a moment, it was hard to tell who was better between Yan Yu and Cheng Jiuyuan, and every step they took caused the two people next to them to exclaim in amazement.

"That's amazing! Why didn't I think of taking this step?"

"I know that Sister Cheng learned from Lady Jiang, so her chess skills must be very good. I didn't expect Sister Yu to be so good as well."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "Sister Yu is the daughter of the headmaster of the academy, and her talent is well known throughout Gusu."

“So amazing.”

After playing a few games, the like-minded girls started playing the piano and painting, and did not go home until the sun set in the west.

Cheng Jiuyuan first sent Zhu Jin back to the Taifu Mansion.

After a long period of reluctant farewell at the door, Zhu Jin turned around and went into the mansion.

In the following days, the few of them got together almost every day.

Travel to beautiful sights and eat delicious food.

Or he would go to the Taifu's house to accompany Zhu Jin, listening to the rain and picking flowers, playing chess and playing the piano, appreciating paintings and tasting tea, drinking wine and burning incense. In this way, half a month passed quickly.

As the Spring Examination was approaching, the students who had gathered in teahouses and taverns to talk and discuss disappeared.

After ten years of hard study, all we want is to succeed in the next life.

Cheng Jiuyuan prepared some things needed for the Spring Examination for the students living in Pei Mansion.

Things for the imperial examination cannot be prepared casually. In order to prevent candidates from bringing in cheating materials, a thin inkstone, a porcelain water jug, and a hollow brush are needed.

Cheng Jiuyuan was thoughtful and prepared some ginseng slices for them, which they could hold in their mouths if they felt exhausted.

I also prepared some ginger slices. The temperature in early spring is fluctuating between hot and cold, and this is just the finishing touch, so it cannot be affected by the outside world.

As for food, there was only water in the examination hall, and the tribute students could bring their own small stoves.

However, candidates who were not good at hands-on work mostly brought dry food.

The food that can be brought in is also very strict. Steamed buns, dumplings and pies have to be broken apart to prevent them from being brought in by others. Even roast chicken and roast duck have to be sliced.

Cheng Jiuyuan arrived at Pei Mansion in the suburbs of Beijing the day before the Spring Examination and asked servants to deliver things to the residences of the students in the name of his eldest cousin.

These students may go in and out of the court in the future and serve as officials with their eldest cousin.

Now he is using these small favors to make people remember his kindness so that they can work together more easily in the future.

Although we cannot expect officials to remember this favor for long, a good start will make a good result more likely.

The Pei family is rich, but their influence in official circles is relatively weak.

Cheng Jiuyuan thought that any help he could provide would be helpful.
