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

Originally, Cheng Jiuyuan wanted to go to Yunwu Mountain with her third cousin today, but her grandmother asked her to go with her to visit an old friend.

Old Madam Pei took her granddaughter and looked her over.

The little girl has a round face, fair and delicate, like an exquisite porcelain. Her eyebrows are like crescent moons, her eyes are black and bright, and she looks very lively and cute with her small nose and chubby mouth.

Cheng Jiuyuan also put a lot of effort into her outfit today. She still wore light-colored clothes, a white magnolia flowered jacket with a very light goose yellow hookah skirt, and a brocade cloak of the same color on the outside.

From this perspective, she has the innocence of a little girl, but also has a bit of the air of books.

"Well, not bad." Mrs. Pei nodded.

The grandfather and grandson got on the carriage, and Madam Pei said, "The person we are going to meet today can be considered half of your mother's master."

"Grandma, are you looking for a master for Yuan'er?"

"Yes, but it's hard to say whether we can invite her. Madam Ling'an is a talented woman. Her father, Jiang Daru, once taught the prince. Madam Ling'an is his only daughter. When someone from the palace came to invite her, they failed."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded. A scholar with a noble character is not afraid of power.

The carriage traveled for nearly an hour and stopped at around 9:00 p.m.

In the village of Yuanyuan, the smoke is in Yiyixuli.

This is a very inconspicuous little village with dense trees and numerous thatched huts. Some families have already started making fires and cooking.

Madam Pei was holding Cheng Jiuyuan's hand, and several maids followed behind her, all holding boxes of different sizes in their hands.

A group of people were walking on a small path with weeds growing on both sides of the road.

After walking for about a cup of tea, we saw a courtyard hidden among the trees.

Towering wild trees welcome the door, and winding stream and bridge reflect the house.

Outside the fence, unknown wild flowers are blooming in the cold weather. Through the fence, you can see the fragrant flowers in the yard. It can be seen that the owner of this house has put some thought into it.

"Gusu Pei wants to see Madam Ling'an." Nanny Zhao raised her voice.

After waiting for a while, a person dressed as a maid came out and opened the courtyard gate.

"Everyone please."

Cheng Jiuyuan followed her grandmother into the yard and into the room.

What catches your eye are books everywhere and the fragrance of tea in the room.

The charcoal fire in the house was burning brightly. Old Madam Pei and Cheng Jiuyuan took off their cloaks and handed them to the maid.

"please!"

Old Madam Pei raised her hand and asked the servants of the Pei family to wait in the outer room. She took her granddaughter by the hand and followed the maid who led the way inside.

Walking through the front hall, the view suddenly opens up.

I saw a person sitting next to a low table. He was wearing a loose plain dress, and his long hair was only slightly gathered with a bamboo hairpin, while the rest of his hair was casually draped over his back.

She looked to be in her forties, with some light wrinkles around her eyes, but it did not affect her appearance at all, instead, she had a kind of beauty that came with the passage of time. One glance at her could calm one's heart.

"Yuan'er, come and meet Madam Ling'an."

Cheng Jiuyuan bowed respectfully and said, "My daughter greets Madam Ling'an."

Jiang Miaoduan didn't raise his eyes, but reached out and poured two cups of tea and pushed them across the way.

"sit."

Madam Pei pulled Cheng Jiuyuan to sit down.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Is everything okay, Madam?"

"Not bad. How is the old lady? How is Yunqing?" Jiang Miaoduan picked up the tea, sniffed it, and blew it gently.

"Yun Qing... passed away not long ago..." Old Madam Pei choked up.

Jiang Miaoduan paused while drinking tea and put the tea on the table.

"How?"

Pei Yunqing was considered half of her disciple, and she was only less than 30 years old this year. A few years ago, she brought her daughter to visit her. At that time, she did not look like a person who would die young.

"Died from a frightened horse." Old Madam Pei wiped her tears.

The room suddenly fell silent. Jiang Miaoduan stared at the cup of tea without moving for a long while.

"Madam, this is Yun Qing's daughter, she is seven years old this year."

Jiang Miaoduan then raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan carefully, "She looks a lot like her mother."

"I have something to ask of you, Madam..."

"You want me to teach her?"

"Yes."

"But she is the Prime Minister's daughter. I will not return to the capital."

Cheng Jiuyuan immediately said: "I won't return to Beijing, at least not before I finish my studies."

"Okay, I was also planning to accept a closed disciple. You are very lucky." Jiang Miaoduan nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Pei's face lit up with joy; she had not expected it to go so smoothly.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at her and knew that she must be doing this for her mother's sake. She was a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart.

Cheng Jiuyuan immediately stood up, knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Miaoduan.

"Cheng Jiuyuan greets Master!"

Jiang Miaoduan nodded: "Get up, although I accept you as my disciple, but I have conditions."

"I'm right here. If you want to be my student, you have to come here every day. Or, there are many rooms here, so you can move in. But my life here is hard, and I'm not interesting. Can a little girl like you bear it?"

Madam Pei looked hesitant.

Compared with Pei Mansion, this place is indeed very poor.

She wants the best for her granddaughter.

But if she lived at home, it would take her two hours to travel back and forth every day, and her child was so young, so she couldn't bear to leave.

Cheng Jiuyuan said seriously: "Master, don't worry, Yuan'er is not afraid of hardship. I will move in with you, but please allow me to go back to Pei Mansion for a few days every month."

"That's natural." Jiang Miaoduan nodded.

"The New Year is coming soon, so let's move here after the New Year."

"Yes, Master."

Jiang Miaoduan looked at Madam Pei and said, "Madam, I want to test this child and find out her background. Please wait outside first."

Madam Pei nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

After saying this, Madam Pei looked at Cheng Jiuyuan soothingly, then stood up and went out.

Seeing Madam Pei leave the room, Jiang Miaoduan withdrew his gaze and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Why would it scare the horse?"

The horses that pull the carts are all tamed.

The horses in the prime minister's house are selected very strictly, so how could they be frightened?

Cheng Jiuyuan gritted her teeth and said, "Jingzhao Prefecture found out that it was my aunt's brother who drugged the horse, causing it to go crazy. My mother was trampled to death by the horse in order to protect me!"

Cheng Jiuyuan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes slightly red.

Jiang Miaoduan looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said with certainty: "Do you want revenge?"

"The person who really killed my mother is still rich and comfortable now. If I can't take revenge, I won't deserve to be my daughter!"

After a while, Jiang Miaoduan sighed.

"That's all. It's human nature. I don't have the ability to help you, so I'll pass on all my knowledge to you. Just one thing, you can take revenge, but don't lose your original intention."

Cheng Jiuyuan solemnly assured: "Master, don't worry, I know."

Jiang Miaoduan stood up: "Follow me."

Jiang Miaoduan asked her a lot of questions and was shocked by Cheng Jiuyuan's knowledge.

"Your mother taught you well, and you are smart too."

Finally, Cheng Jiuyuan left the house holding several rare books given by his master.
