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

Cheng Jiuyuan looked up and saw that the person who was speaking was about forty years old. He was not tall, but fortunately, he was not as fat as she had imagined. He looked quite decent.

Presumably, this is Weng Youcai, the county magistrate of Gusu.

When Weng Qianqian heard the voice of the person coming, she immediately turned around in surprise.

"Grandfather, if you don't come, Qianqian will be bullied to death!"

Weng Qianqian ran over and grabbed Weng Youcai's sleeve, shaking him and acting coquettishly.

"Who dares to bully you?" Weng Youcai smiled dotingly, and then his deep gaze swept across everyone.

Weng Youcai had many wives and concubines, but he only had one son and one daughter.

He particularly favored his eldest son because he was the one who made decisions on many matters for him and cleared many obstacles for him.

Weng Youcai's eldest son is a resourceful man, otherwise he would not have been able to marry the prefect's daughter.

Cheng Jiuyuan had already known all this.

Now seeing his own granddaughter being wronged, Weng Youcai hurried over.

In this Gusu, there are actually people who dare to act wildly in his mansion. They really don't know their place.

His eyes fell on Cheng Jiuyuan and he frowned.

She was just a little girl of seven or eight years old. When she looked at Old Madam Pei beside her, her expression suddenly became unhappy.

"Sister-in-law of the Pei family, this is your fault. Today is my birthday, and you still allow your juniors to cause trouble in my Weng Mansion. This is really unacceptable."

Jiang glared at her smug daughter and whispered, "Dad, that's Madam Pei's granddaughter."

"Even if she is the granddaughter of the Pei family... the granddaughter of the Pei family?" Weng Youcai suddenly paused and changed the subject.

The Pei family has only one daughter, and that is the wife of the prime minister of the current dynasty.

This little girl is actually the prime minister’s daughter?

Jiang nodded slightly at him.

Weng Youcai's expression immediately changed and he smiled.

"No wonder Mr. Weng saw this young lady as extraordinary. She turned out to be the daughter of the Prime Minister. Miss Cheng's visit to my humble home really makes it glorious."

"Where is the palace doctor? Didn't you see that Miss Cheng was injured? Come over now!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was shocked at Cheng Jiuyuan's identity.

You have to know that the prefect is only a fourth-rank official, and Weng Qianqian is only the prefect's granddaughter, so they can only flatter her.

The prime minister is a first-rank official!

"Why would the Prime Minister's daughter come to our Gusu?"

"So she's the Prime Minister's daughter. No wonder she dares to go against Weng Qianqian."

"As expected of the Prime Minister's daughter, even if she is dressed so plainly, it cannot conceal her elegance."

……

The people who were originally watching coldly changed their attitudes immediately after learning of Cheng Jiuyuan's identity.

Weng Qianqian looked at Cheng Jiuyuan in shock.

She is actually the prime minister's daughter?

No wonder her mother has such an attitude.

Thinking about how she had made things difficult for her at the beginning, she quickly hid behind Jiang.

"Miss Cheng, please move to the main hall and have some tea." Weng Youcai said with a smile.

Cheng Jiuyuan let the court doctor treat her wounds, gently opened her eyelids, and looked at Weng Youcai coldly.

"County Magistrate Weng, Miss Sun from your mansion is really powerful. The beast she raised hurt someone, but not only did she not apologize, she also wanted to take the lives of us, the master and the servant. If I were just an ordinary person, would I die if I displeased someone from your mansion?"

Weng Youcai could hardly hold back the smile on his face.

"Miss, you are joking. Qianqian was just talking. How could she, a little girl, take someone's life? She is just spoiled by her family and speaks without restraint."

He turned around and slapped Weng Qianqian, who was hiding behind Jiang.

He really loves his granddaughter, but now the Prime Minister's daughter is not giving in. If he doesn't show some relief, he's afraid she won't give up.

He was not afraid of a little girl, but the prime minister was behind this little girl.

Weng Qianqian had never been beaten as much as she was today in her life.

Weng Youcai was not as merciful as Jiang, and Weng Qianqian was slapped to the ground.

She covered her face and looked at Jiang while crying.

"Mother! Mother!"

Jiang was anxious and secretly pinched Weng Ruyi.

Weng Ruyi gritted her teeth, then smiled and walked in front of Cheng Jiuyuan, bending slightly.

"Yuan'er, you see Qianqian has been beaten, you should calm down now, right? For your aunt's sake, let's forget about it this time, okay?"

At this moment, she was extremely proud.

In the Weng family, although she is the legitimate daughter, her parents only have eyes for her eldest brother's family.

Now I see my father and sister-in-law bowing and scraping in front of a little girl, and this little girl has to call her aunt.

She was certain that the little girl would let Weng Qianqian go for her sake.

Weng Youcai looked at Weng Ruyi with satisfaction, and Weng Ruyi smiled even more gently.

Cheng Jiuyuan took a look at the bandaged wound and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Her gaze swept across Weng Qianqian's face, passed Weng Youcai, and finally fell on Weng Ruyi's face.

There was a cold curve on her lips, which made her look more evil and unruly.

"How much is your face worth?"

Weng Ruyi didn't expect her to say this, and her smile froze on her face.

Cheng Jiuyuan no longer looked at her, but looked at Weng Youcai.

"The Weng family casually executed the daughter of a first-rank official. This is really eye-opening."

Weng Youcai couldn't laugh anymore.

He was used to having smooth sailing in the past, and he was the king in Gusu.

But now I've hit a wall.

Not to mention that he was just a small seventh-rank official, even the emperor could not punish the family members of court officials without any reason.

At this time, a man in his thirties hurried over, and Pei Xiu followed behind him.

Seeing that Cheng Jiuyuan was fine, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes fell on her bandaged hand and his brows furrowed again.

He walked a few steps behind Cheng Jiuyuan, covering her like a giant Buddha, and then looked at the Weng family with unfriendly eyes.

The meaning is self-evident. If the Weng family doesn't come up with an explanation for today's incident, this will not be over!

The man who came with Pei Xiu kicked Weng Qianqian in the knee and said, "Asshole, why don't you kowtow to Miss Cheng and admit your mistake!"

Weng Qianqian no longer cared about her face. She was most afraid of her serious father.

She crawled to Cheng Jiuyuan using her hands and feet, and kowtowed continuously.

"Miss Cheng, I was blind and offended you. I beg you to forgive me and let me go this time."

"Please."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at her expressionlessly as she kowtowed and slapped herself repeatedly.

She turned her gaze to the middle-aged man. It seemed that he was the one who had the final say in this Weng Mansion.

The man immediately cupped his hands and said, "It is I who failed to discipline my daughter and made Miss Cheng suffer. I will not hesitate to say anything about how Miss Cheng wants to be dealt with."

Weng Ruyi refused to give up and she tugged at Pei Xiu's sleeve.

"We are all family. Qianqian has already kowtowed and been beaten. Let it go."

She didn't dare to persuade Cheng Jiuyuan directly, for fear of losing face, so she just signaled Pei Xiu to go and persuade her.

Pei Xiu stood still.

His niece has been wronged, and it is up to her to decide how to seek justice.

He would never let Yuan'er suffer just to please the Weng family.

Seeing that he didn't move, Weng Ruyi felt that the Pei family was ungrateful.

If the Pei family offended the Weng family and the Weng family wanted to retaliate, the Pei family's business would definitely be affected.

Cheng Jiuyuan is the same. He is only concerned with venting his anger and doesn't care about the Pei family at all.

Cheng Jiuyuan saw everything and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

As long as my uncle doesn't find it difficult, this matter will be easy to handle.

As for Weng Ruyi, she found out everything.

It seems like Weng Ruyi is sick. When she is wronged in her parents' home, she will not leave but will frantically move things to her parents' home to seek forgiveness.

If she makes a big deal out of it today, the Weng family will definitely vent their anger on Weng Ruyi.

Weng Ruyi would certainly loot things from her parents' home as usual.

What she wanted was for Weng Ruyi to move her things back to her parents' home.

Thinking of his plan, Cheng Jiuyuan spoke slowly.

"Miss Weng is yelling about beating and killing for such a small matter. I think we should send Miss Weng to Bodhi Temple to cultivate her character."

"I don't want it! I don't want it! Cheng Jiuyuan, you bitch, I will kill you!"

When she heard that she was going to be sent to a nunnery to become a nun, Weng Qianqian jumped up from the ground and walked towards Cheng Jiuyuan with a ferocious face.

Before anyone could react, Pei Xiu picked up his niece with one hand, protected her behind him, and then kicked her out.

Weng Qianqian let out a scream and fell several feet away.

Jiang exclaimed and rushed forward immediately.

"Sister Qian!"

The Weng family looked at Pei Xiu with unfriendly eyes.

Cheng Jiuyuan sighed, "Look, Miss Weng is such a person, always shouting for war and killing. She is just going to the nunnery to cultivate her character, not to become a nun."

The middle-aged man suddenly said, "Just follow what Miss Cheng said, and today's incident will be over."

"Of course. When I return to Beijing, I will tell my father that County Magistrate Weng is selfless and enforces the law strictly."

The Weng family thought that Cheng Jiuyuan would not be able to stay in Gusu for a long time, so they would just wait for her to leave and bring Weng Qianqian back.

"The birthday banquet is about to begin. Please come in, Miss Cheng."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips and nodded slightly.

The farce ended, and everyone looked at Weng Qianqian, who was lying in Jiang's arms and unable to get up, with a bloody forehead.

Thinking about her arrogance and domineering behavior in the past, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

There is one more person that Gusu cannot afford to offend.
