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

Cheng Jiuyuan arrived at Shouchun Hall early in the morning to have dinner with her grandmother.

"You can go too later. We only have three naughty boys in our family. If you want to live in Gusu permanently, you still need to make some close friends."

Needless to say, Cheng Jiuyuan also planned to go.

"Yes, Grandma."

As the grandfather and grandson were talking, Sheng came in, looking a little unhappy.

"Mother." Sheng bowed and saluted.

Cheng Jiuyuan asked: "Aunt, have you had breakfast?"

"I'm so angry that I'm full. How can I still have an appetite?" Sheng sat aside and spoke in a low voice.

Madam Pei put down her bowl and chopsticks: "What's the matter?"

The maid behind Sheng said, "It's Madam Ruyi. She picked two carts of gifts and almost emptied the storeroom."

Madam Pei looked at Sheng and said, "What's the big deal? Why are you so angry that you can't even eat?"

"Mom, my wife is not a stingy person, but she drives a few trucks to her parents' home every few days. Even if it's a mountain of gold and silver, it will be emptied sooner or later."

Weng Ruyi has no children, but she still has to make plans for her three sons.

"Aunt, don't be angry. Your body is your own and you still have to eat."

"That's right. You don't think things through as well as a child. Hongye, serve a bowl of porridge to the lady."

Sheng sat at the table, holding a bowl of porridge, which tasted like wax.

After breakfast, Cheng Jiuyuan followed her grandmother to the front hall and saw Weng Ruyi, who was dressed up.

"Mother, Yuan'er, let's go."

As the group walked out, Weng Ruyi complained, "Mom, you have to say something to Brother Xiu. It's his father-in-law's birthday, but he's actually going to discuss some business."

Madam Pei said: "He told me yesterday that he would come before the birthday banquet."

"He wouldn't dare not come." Weng Ruyi muttered softly.

When we arrived outside the mansion, we saw four carriages.

The two cars at the back were already fully loaded.

Cheng Jiuyuan thought to herself, no wonder my aunt was angry.

Madam Pei just frowned slightly and took Cheng Jiuyuan into a carriage.

The carriage passed through the alley and drove into the market.

The streets were bustling with people, hawking, and talking and laughing.

"Grandma, aren't you angry about Aunt Weng's behavior?"

It is rare to find such a generous mother-in-law.

Madam Pei sighed helplessly: "Who would have thought that she, a young lady from an official family, could be so shallow?"

Madam Pei pulled her granddaughter into her arms and hugged her: "They are all worthless things anyway, so if she wants them, she can take them. As for the valuable ones, grandma will keep them for you."

Cheng Jiuyuan was touched and threw herself into her grandmother's arms and acted coquettishly.

"Grandma."

Old Madam Pei touched her granddaughter's tender little face, her face full of love.

Cheng Jiuyuan leaned in her grandmother's arms and smiled.

Even if it is worthless in my grandmother's eyes, it is something that ordinary people cannot even obtain.

Otherwise, Weng Ruyi, the daughter of a county magistrate, would not have been like this.

Take it.

She would make her regret it.

……

The carriage slowly stopped and Mu Jin's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Madam, young lady, we have arrived at the Weng family."

As soon as the grandparents and grandchildren got off the carriage, they saw servants coming to greet them.

"Please come in, dear guest!"

Cheng Jiuyuan helped her grandmother walk inside, while Weng Ruyi directed the servants to move the gifts.

"Be careful, this is a Ru kiln porcelain worth a thousand gold!"

"And that clay inkstone, you can't even buy it on the market!"

Old Madam Pei frowned, feeling a little embarrassed, and pulled Cheng Jiuyuan to quicken her pace.

Weng Ruyi is very proud today.

She was the legitimate daughter of an official family, and she married into a merchant family. Although the Pei family was the richest, they were still merchants. She felt that Pei Xiu was marrying above his station.

Some of her concubine sisters were married to officials, although some were concubines. But there is a saying that it is better to be a concubine of a rich family than a wife of a poor family.

Every time, those sisters would mock her openly or secretly, but when she came back with a cart full of things, even though they said they were disdainful, their envious eyes made her feel comfortable.

And dad would also praise her.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked around the Weng Mansion as he walked.

Spacious and magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, strange rocks and colorful dragon heads, in one word: luxurious.

It is true that the emperor is far away and the mountains are high, so he is not afraid of being reported by censors.

Soon someone came to greet Mrs. Pei.

"Madam Pei, you are here? I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be in better shape."

"Yeah, I've never seen you in an occasion like this before."

"I'm afraid you've forgotten us old sisters."

Madam Pei laughed and said, "How can that be possible? You all know my physical condition."

"Who is this girl?"

"This is my granddaughter, Yuan'er."

"granddaughter?"

Mrs. Pei has only one granddaughter, who is the daughter of the prime minister of the current dynasty.

She is indeed worthy of being the daughter of the prime minister. Although she is young, her appearance and demeanor are beyond the reach of a girl from a small family.

"It's polite."

"Miss Cheng."

Several old ladies saluted quickly.

Cheng Jiuyuan returned the greeting and said, "No need to be polite, just treat Yuan'er as an ordinary junior."

"As expected of a lady from a wealthy family, every move you make is truly extraordinary."

"Yeah yeah."

Regardless of whether it was genuine praise or flattery, a group of people surrounded Cheng Jiuyuan and kept praising him.

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled modestly and kindly.

She smiled so hard that her lips were sore. She looked at Old Lady Pei and said, "Grandma, you guys chat. I'll go shopping."

Madam Pei nodded: "Go ahead, take Sister Mu Jin with you."

She asked her granddaughter to make friends, and it would be inconvenient for her to follow her.

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded and left with Mu Jin and Song Lan.

The three of them walked along the stone path for a while, and what came into view was a red plum forest.

The place is shaded by clear springs, with red plum blossoms in full bloom, and connected to the well-arranged pavilions and arch bridges, creating scenery at every step.

There were many women standing here and there by the stream and among the plum trees.

It was still early for the banquet to start, so Cheng Jiuyuan walked into the pavilion and sat down.

Not long after I sat down, I faintly heard a faint cat meow.

"Where did the cat come from?" Hibiscus and Indigo looked around.

Cheng Jiuyuan slowly raised her head and saw a Persian cat on the pavilion beam staring at her without blinking.

Seeing her looking at me, the cat instantly became angry.

Cheng Jiuyuan has heard strange stories about cats. Can cats tell that they are reborn people?

Cheng Jiuyuan withdrew her gaze and was about to get up and leave.

In a flash, the cat swooped down. Cheng Jiuyuan blocked it with his hand and felt a pain on the back of his hand.

The cat wanted to scratch again.

It happened in that instant, and neither Hibiscus nor Isatis had time to react.

Cheng Jiuyuan grabbed the cat and threw it to the ground, but the cat didn't leave and kept growling at Cheng Jiuyuan.

Mu Jin picked up the glass plate with fruits on the stone table and smashed it over, causing the cat to scream.

An angry voice came: "How dare you smash my fruit!"
