The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality
Chapter 2 The soul returns
Outside the house, the light is gradually shining and the sun is rising brightly.
The room was filled with the scent of sandalwood and the curtains were heavy.
The woman on the couch had her eyes closed, her brows furrowed, her hands unconsciously clutching the quilt tightly, and a layer of dense sweat covered her forehead.
She suddenly screamed, opened her eyes abruptly, and gasped like a dying fish, her eyes filled with lingering fear.
After a while, she gradually calmed down, and the fear in her eyes was replaced by shock and confusion.
This... this is the boudoir where she has lived for sixteen years.
Cheng Jiuyuan couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. She reached out to lift the quilt, but her eyes fell on her hands.
The hand is as white as jade, as smooth as mutton fat, and slightly round. It is clearly the hand of a little girl!
She immediately threw back the quilt and hurried to the dressing mirror in the room.
The person in the mirror had round cheeks, dimples on her lips, and wide-open eyes that seemed even darker and brighter because of shock. Her skin was white with a rosy glow, and she had two pigtails on her head, making her look even more delicate and innocent.
Cheng Jiuyuan twisted her arm hard. The bronze mirror clearly showed her appearance when she was seven or eight years old!
There was pain in my arm.
Was it all a dream?
No, it's not!
The despair of destroying the world and the excruciating pain of being tortured to death made her heart tighten at this moment.
She suddenly burst into tears and sobbed, covering her face.
As she cried, she laughed again.
The look in her eyes suddenly deepened.
Chu Ze, Cheng Yunge, you didn’t expect that I, Cheng Jiuyuan, could come back!
This time, it's your turn to go to hell!
Including the monster hiding in Cheng Yunge's body!
She wiped the tears from her face, put away the coldness in her eyes, and practiced in front of the bronze mirror for a long time before she looked carefree and innocent.
She hadn't laughed for so long that she almost couldn't do it anymore.
She opened the door and found the yard empty.
Cheng Jiuyuan sneered in his heart.
There was such a big commotion in her room, but none of the maids or servants came to inquire about it.
Cheng Jiuyuan, who was seven or eight years old, naturally couldn't tell that these servants were just being perfunctory to her.
She was about to go out, and when she was about to leave the hospital, she saw a group of people sitting lazily at the gate.
Seeing her come out, the maids stood up lazily and saluted.
"Second Miss, why don't you rest in your room?"
Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes fell on the servants' white belts, and she immediately realized that she had returned to the time when her mother died, and a sharp pain came through her heart again.
She would always remember that on her seventh birthday, the family went to the best restaurant in the capital to celebrate her birthday. On the way back, the horse her mother and she were riding was frightened, and her mother was trampled by the frightened horse in order to protect her.
After being carried back home, my mother suffered in agony for several hours before finally passing away.
In front of the mourning hall, she was already sad, and then she heard the mourners saying behind her back that she was a jinx and had killed her mother. She was so sad and angry that she fainted without even being able to breathe.
Later, Zhou never allowed her to appear in front of the mourning hall again. Even on the day of the funeral, the person who carried the coffin was decided to be Zhou's son Cheng Changchuan.
Zhou said she was afraid that she would be too sad again and be hurt by outsiders.
In her previous life, she was grateful to Zhou for this, but now she realized her sinister intentions.
When her biological mother passed away, she did not keep vigil or carry the coffin. She was so unfilial that it's no wonder that people later criticized her behind her back.
His thoughts returned, and Cheng Jiuyuan clenched his fists under his sleeves.
If she had returned a little earlier, could she have prevented her mother's car crash?
However, God had already given her another chance, and she didn't dare to ask for more.
She glanced at the servants.
Her mother had been bedridden since she gave birth to her, and everyone in the mansion had long been following Zhou's lead.
She will have to deal with these people sooner or later, but she has important things to do now and can't delay.
She was about to walk towards the mourning hall, but was blocked by the eldest maid Chun Xing.
"Second Miss, you are not well yet, why don't you go back to your room and lie down?"
"Step aside!"
Although Cheng Jiuyuan's voice was flat and even a bit childish, Chun Xing did not dare to stop her.
"Sister, why don't you stay in your room and rest?" A gentle and clear voice came.
This voice seemed to carry infinite tolerance and pampering, making people want to get closer involuntarily.
Cheng Jiuyuan clenched his fist again silently.
Cheng Yunge!
'Sister, don't be unwilling. You have been blessed with all the best things in the world since you were born. Family background, looks, money, and even marriage. You simply don't leave any chance for others to survive.'
'But now these are mine.'
"Your Highness and I will be fine, you can go on your journey with peace of mind."
"Your grandfather's family had rebelled since you married into the royal family. All 130 members of the family were killed three years ago. Alas, the blood on the ground..."
The scenes before his death in his previous life surged in his mind, and the pain of each cut into his skin almost made Cheng Jiuyuan unable to control himself.
She gritted her teeth and endured it.
"Miss." The servants around all breathed a sigh of relief and bowed.
Somehow, the second girl was very difficult to talk to today, and her eyes made people feel scared.
I think it was because of the death of his wife that she had a huge impact on him.
"younger sister?"
Cheng Yunge looked at the girl standing under the shade of the tree. She seemed to be surrounded by a thick layer of cold air.
Cheng Jiuyuan looked up, her eyes filled with attachment to Cheng Yunge.
"Sister, I'm well now. I want to go and see my mother off for the last time."
"Sister, you'd better not go. Those people's words are harsh, and I'm afraid you can't stand it. Big brother and I will stay in the mourning hall. Mother loved you the most when she was alive. You can't stand kneeling for several hours. You are still young, and father won't blame you."
Cheng Jiuyuan shook her head stubbornly: "I want to go."
After saying that, she ran away without caring what anyone else said.
Not long after running away, Cheng Jiuyuan heard Cheng Yunge's voice.
"Tongtong, why is it that Cheng Jiuyuan is suddenly not easy to fool?"
Cheng Jiuyuan was startled and looked back.
However, Cheng Yunge's lips did not move, and a cold, emotionless voice, indistinguishable from that of a man or a woman, came from her.
"I don't know. Maybe she was devastated by the death of her mother."
Cheng Jiuyuan glanced at everyone, and no one moved their lips.
Cheng Jiuyuan turned around and continued running towards the front hall.
Cheng Yunge is indeed a monster!
As we walked along, the whole house was covered in mourning.
The closer you get to the front hall, the stronger the smell of incense and candles.
Cheng Jiuyuan's face was already covered with tears.
Experiencing the pain of losing my mother again is still heartbreaking.
She supported her shaky body and ran towards the mourning hall. Before she entered the door, she heard what seemed to be a dispute.
"Yuan'er is young and will definitely not be able to bear the fatigue of traveling. Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely take good care of Yuan'er."
A dignified voice followed, "It is because Yuan'er is young that the rumors in the capital are really cruel to a little girl like her. Let her go back to Gusu with me and change her environment. It will only do her good. Wait until her temperament is stable before returning to the capital."
Cheng Jiuyuan outside the door listened silently to the conversation inside.
It turned out that her grandfather from her previous life had come here and offered to take her back to Gusu.
In her previous life, she hid in the backyard and had no idea what was happening in the front hall.
How disappointed must her grandfather in her previous life have been when he saw that she didn't even keep vigil or carry the coffin when her biological mother passed away.
But even though she was disappointed, she still fully supported her only granddaughter.
Although he never came to the capital to see her again, he never stopped sending her money.
Later, the money Chu Ze needed to seize the throne also came from his grandfather's family.
Cheng Jiuyuan felt bitter. She was such a bad person in her previous life, why did her grandfather still care about her?
In the end, she even caused the entire Pei family to be destroyed.
Cheng Jiuyuan outside the door was filled with remorse when voices were heard again in the hall.
"Master Pei, I watched the second young lady grow up. She has been close to me since childhood. Her elder sister died early due to a miserable fate. From now on, I will definitely treat Yuan'er better than my own daughter." After Zhou finished speaking, she sobbed and wiped away her non-existent tears with a handkerchief.
Mr. Pei frowned.
His daughter passed away suddenly, leaving his seven-year-old granddaughter in this large mansion, so of course he was worried.
If their granddaughter also had an accident, how would the old couple survive?
Old Master Pei looked at his son, and Pei Xiu immediately stepped forward and said, "Let's call Yuan'er over and ask her in person before making a decision."
They arrived at the Prime Minister's residence yesterday evening, but they still hadn't seen Yuan'er, so they were naturally worried about her.
"The second young lady listened to all those gossips and became very angry. She got sick from anger and I'm afraid she's still sleeping now." Zhou's voice was full of pity and worry.
Just because he heard the gossip, he got angry and didn't come to keep vigil for his biological mother. Everyone looked different when they heard this.
"Father-in-law, Yuan'er can only have great fortune in the future if she stays in the capital."
The implication of these words made Mr. Pei hesitate.
With Cheng Zongyang's current status, the daughter of the Cheng family is likely to marry into the royal family.
If he took Yuan'er away and ruined her future...
"Yuan'er is willing to go back to Gusu with grandpa and uncle!"
