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

Chapter 178: The Zhou Family's Destruction

A small family like the Zhou family, who committed the serious crime of treason, was quickly sentenced to be beheaded in public at 3:30 p.m. the next day.

"My lord! My lord, you are wronged!"

"We are just ordinary people. How could we commit treason? Even if we were given a thousand courages, we wouldn't dare to do it!"

"Sir, I am innocent!"

In the dim cell, Li and the three Zhou brothers banged on the cell door and kept shouting that they were wronged.

Before today, I was still fantasizing that Zhou Xiaoyun would become the top scholar and his whole family would prosper.

But now he is locked up in this cell and will be beheaded tomorrow.

After shouting for most of the day, my voice became hoarse and no one answered.

Li leaned against the wall, tears streaming down her face.

"Boss, what is going on?"

"Yes, big brother, how did you commit treason? And you said that the emperor personally ordered it."

"I don't want to die! Wuuwuwu, I haven't gotten married yet..."

Zhou Xiaoyun was also puzzled. How could there be problems with his article?

"It was Cheng Yunge! It was Cheng Yunge who harmed me!"

Zhou Xiaoyun suddenly banged on the door excitedly: "Hurry up! The one who plotted rebellion is not me! It's Cheng Yunge!"

"Cheng Yunge! You hurt me! You will die miserably!"

"Someone come quickly! I am innocent! I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor!"

The jailer was annoyed by the noise and whipped him.

"Who do you think you are? To see the Emperor? To see the King of Hell!"

"I'll beat you to death if you make trouble again. You're a death row inmate anyway."

Zhou Xiaoyun was whipped twice, but he still shouted that he was innocent and that it was Cheng Yunge who framed him.

The two jailers were furious, opened the door, and whipped him with a whip.

"How dare you slander the Prime Minister's daughter! I think you are courting death!"

Anyway, these people are going to be beheaded tomorrow. If they are beaten to death, we can just say they committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

The two jailers killed Zhou Xiaoyun until he was dying.

"Bah!" The jailer spat, turned around and went out, closing the cell door.

Lin and the two Zhou brothers hated Zhou Xiaoyun to death, but when they saw him lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, no one stepped forward.

The next day, Cheng Jiuyuan was sitting in a restaurant, and looking out the window, he saw the guillotine.

"Girl, after seeing the beheading, can you still eat it?"

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips: "Why can't you eat it? Isn't this a good side dish?"

Mu Jin shook her head. Her daughter was really different from other noble ladies.

At noon, the dead members of the Zhou family were taken to the guillotine.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyun had a bruised face, he must have been treated well in prison.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"I am innocent! It was Cheng Yunge who harmed me!"

"Cheng Yunge! You will die a miserable death!"

"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

The Zhou family screamed in horror.

The people watching were talking a lot.

"Cheng Yunge? Is she the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"That's her. That woman is the sister-in-law of Miss Cheng's aunt, and those three are her cousins."

"Then why did he say that Miss Cheng had harmed him?"

"I'm afraid Miss Cheng can't save him, so just bite him randomly."

"This is a serious crime of treason. Who can save him?"

……

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips.

In his previous life, Zhou Xiaoyun won the first prize with Cheng Yunge's article and became very famous.

How unfair is this to those students who have studied hard?

In this life, he deserved the punishment for being convicted because of Cheng Yunge's article.

"It's three quarters past noon, execution!"

The executioner raised his knife and slashed, and several heads rolled on the ground.

"Ah!" The onlookers exclaimed.

Cheng Jiuyuan withdrew her gaze and ate her meal calmly.

Mu Jin helped Cheng Jiuyuan pick up the dishes calmly. Song Lan patted his chest, feeling a little nauseous.

"Everyone sit down and eat."

Songlan waved her hands: "I can't eat it."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and handed her a glass of water: "Drink it."

I felt better only after I finished drinking the woad in one breath.

Mu Jin said with a smile: "The girl is a few years younger than you, how can you be so useless."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Mu Jin and said, "You're the one who spoiled me."

Mu Jin smiled. She was the older sister, so she was in charge of all the dangerous things. Song Lan was only responsible for taking good care of the girl.

"Doesn't the girl spoil her?"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Song Lan and said, "Sit down and take a rest."

He also personally added more rice to Mu Jin.

"How can you trouble me to serve you food?"

"Eat quickly."

After lunch, Cheng Jiuyuan saw that the weather was neither too cold nor too hot and it was a nice spring day, so she took the two maids and walked slowly back home to digest the food.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I met Cheng Yunge who was about to leave.

Cheng Yunge snorted coldly and passed by Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Sister, didn't you go to see your aunt and three cousins off for the last time today?"

Cheng Yunge turned around and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan coldly.

"The Zhou family is not my maternal family. If I were to talk about cousins, the three from the Pei family are my cousins."

Cheng Jiuyuan felt disgusted.

Her three cousins who were all in high positions didn't want Cheng Yunge to have anything to do with them.

"Sister, you are so cruel. After all, he is related to you by blood. Oh, by the way, sister, do you know that before the execution today, your eldest cousin shouted that you killed him and said that he would not let you go even if he became a ghost."

Cheng Yunge's face changed, and finally he just looked at Cheng Jiuyuan coldly, turned around and left with the girl.

Mu Jin stepped forward and whispered, "Young lady, the eldest lady has been going out to attend some poetry gatherings these days, and the poems she writes are indeed good poems. Her reputation is starting to improve again."

Cheng Jiuyuan sneered.

Cheng Yunge and Bai Lu are birds of a feather, both thieves.

He relied on stealing other people's poems to promote his own reputation.

Become famous?

Raise it.

One day, you will reap the consequences of your own actions.

The results of the spring examination have not yet been announced, and students from all over the country have not yet left Beijing, so teahouses and taverns are the busiest these days.

With so many students gathered together, it is natural that they will talk a lot.

As soon as Cheng Yunge showed up, everyone cheered.

"Miss Cheng is here!"

"The two poems Miss Cheng wrote yesterday are truly stunning masterpieces. I admire them very much!"

"Yes, it's not an exaggeration to say that Miss Cheng is the most talented woman in Dongling!"

"Ms. Cheng is both talented and pretty. I wonder which gentleman will be lucky enough to marry her in the future..."

Cheng Yunge said generously: "Thank you for your praise, Yunge is unworthy of it."

"Ms. Cheng is being modest."

"Yeah yeah."

Cheng Yunge curled up the corners of his mouth as he heard the praises.

Bai Lu quickly reminded: "Don't laugh, be more humble."

"Got it. Have you finished your poem today? I want to make a splash today too. So what if the Zhou family is gone? I can still impress the nobles on my own."

Bai Lu complained in her heart.

Are you relying on yourself? You are relying on me.

Although she also borrowed other people's poems.

"Miss Cheng, we were just talking about writing poems on the theme of spring these days. I wonder if Miss Cheng has any good poems?"

Cheng Yunge looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he urged Bai Lu: "Hurry up, is the poem ready?"

Bai Lu thought about it and borrowed a poem.

Cheng Yunge curled his lips and said softly, "Yes."

"In February, the grass grows and the warblers fly.

Drunk spring smoke on the dyke willow.

Children return from school early,

I hurriedly flew kites in the east wind. "

"it is good!!"
