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

Everyone looked towards the door and saw a middle-aged man of medium build and rich clothes coming in, followed by a beautiful woman with red and swollen eyes.

"Greetings, Marquis Zhaoxin."

The person who came was Su Nan's father, Su Ming, Marquis of Zhaoxin.

Su Ming waved his hand, his eyes swept around the room and landed on Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Are you the second daughter of the Cheng family?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded slightly: "It's my daughter."

Su Ming suddenly cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Cheng Jiuyuan, scaring Cheng Jiuyuan so much that she quickly dodged aside.

"What is your Majesty doing?"

"Thank you, Miss Cheng, for saving my son's life. You must accept this gift." After saying this, he began to bow again.

"Mr. Su is my daughter's classmate. I will not stand idly by when my classmate is in danger. Your Majesty, there is no need to do so."

The beautiful woman walked forward, took Cheng Jiuyuan's hand affectionately, and looked him up and down.

"They say appearance reflects the heart, and today I believe it. I heard that you almost missed the academy test in order to save Nan'er. You are really a man of love and righteousness. In the end, not only did you save people, but you also passed the test smoothly. It can be seen that you are very capable." Such an outstanding girl, but unfortunately she is already engaged.

"Madam Hou, you are too kind."

Su Ming smiled and said, "My wife rarely praises people, and she never flatters people. Every word she says comes from the heart."

Madam Hou nodded, took out a jade pendant from her bosom and stuffed it into Cheng Jiuyuan's hand: "Keep this."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked down and saw a big word "信" engraved on the jade pendant, which could represent the token of Zhaoxinhou Mansion.

"This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"No matter how precious it is, it is nothing compared to my son's life. I heard Nan'er say that if it had been a little later, he would have lost too much blood. I'm afraid... You not only saved Nan'er's life, but also saved our entire Zhaoxin Marquis Mansion. Zhaoxin Marquis Mansion owes you a huge favor. You must accept this jade pendant."

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes fell on the jade pendant.

Marquis Zhaoxin is in charge of the defense of the capital, and perhaps it will be useful one day.

"Then this jade pendant..."

"Put it away, put it away."

Cheng Jiuyuan respectfully obeyed the order and accepted the jade pendant.

Su Ming smiled and said, "That's right. I like you, girl. It's a pity... But from now on, the door of my Zhaoxin Marquis Mansion will always be open to you. You can come anytime."

The headmaster stepped forward only after he heard what they had said.

"My Lord, the academy is indeed responsible for this incident..."

Marquis Zhaoxin waved his hand and said, "It's all right, it's all right. Fortunately, there was no danger this time. I don't intend to pursue the matter."

"Your Excellency is generous and magnanimous."

Marquis Zhaoxin was not interested in dealing with these pedants in the academy, and his eyes were always on Cheng Jiuyuan.

"You are worthy of being the daughter of the Prime Minister. Back then, your father won the top three places in the imperial examination at a young age. He rose from a commoner to a high position today, and became a legend in the court. You have only been in the academy for less than a year, and you have passed the assessment. If you can take the imperial examination, I am afraid you will continue your father's legend. It's a pity..."

What a pity, he didn't say anything, but everyone knew it in their hearts.

"The news that you passed the Baichuan Academy assessment will soon spread throughout the capital. Tomorrow morning, it will be the prime minister's turn to show off again." Marquis Zhaoxin's voice was full of envy.

"My Lord, you are too kind. I grew up in Gusu and was fortunate to have a good teacher. Fortunately, I have lived up to my master's teachings."

This means that her current achievements are all due to her master and have little to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Marquis Zhaoxin did not hear the hidden meaning, but his wife did.

She also knew what Cheng Zongyang had done in the past, divorcing his wife and remarrying, and favoring his concubine and killing his wife.

She also heard that the second daughter of the Cheng family could draw and catch criminals at the age of seven. If her father was reliable, how could he let a child face such a thing?

Cheng Zongyang has now married a virtuous second wife, and it is said that the relationship between father and daughter has improved, but the harm caused to the child can never be erased.

There was some heartache in her eyes, and she held Cheng Jiuyuan's hand tightly.

"Miss Cheng, is it convenient for you to go to the hospital? Nan'er is clamoring to see you."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded, bowed to the headmaster and the others, then walked out with Marquis Zhaoxin and his wife.

When I arrived at the hospital, I saw Su Nan lying leisurely on the couch, eating fruit and reading a storybook.

Bringing storybooks into the academy was prohibited, so they usually read them secretly.

Now that he is recovering from his injury, he can be seen playing tricks openly.

As soon as he saw Cheng Jiuyuan coming in, he threw away the storybook and asked hurriedly, "Dad, how do you thank my benefactor?"

Madam Hou quickly stepped forward and held him down: "Lie down, lie down, or your wound will bleed again."

Su Nan didn't ask and continued to look at his father: "Dad, don't be stingy. Cheng Jiuyuan saved your son, so your son's life should be worth something, right?"

Marquis Zhaoxin glared at him and asked: "Miss Cheng is short of money?"

Her father is the prime minister, her fiancé is a prince, and most importantly, her grandfather is the richest man in Gusu.

"You can't refuse to repay me just because she's rich!"

"Little bastard, in your heart, your father is such an ungrateful person, right?"

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "The Marquis gave me something more valuable than money."

Su Nan finally calmed down and said, "That's good."

"How do you feel?" Cheng Jiuyuan asked.

"I won't die. Are you leaving the academy?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.

"When my injury heals, I'll be able to leave the academy after taking the riding test again. I, Su Nan, have never admired anyone in my life, but you're the first one. You passed the test in less than a year. I've been in the academy for five years, and I thought I was outstanding enough. Cheng Jiuyuan, your existence is really frustrating."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips and smiled.

"Look at you, such a talented person, how come you have an engagement? And the other party is just a..." an unpopular prince.

At this point, Su Nan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, why don't you just cancel your engagement and marry me. We'll go to the battlefield together and be a couple..."

Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the head.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat!" Marquis Zhaoxin shouted.

Although he was also very satisfied with the girl from the Cheng family, who told him to act too late?

If you try to steal the prince's girl, you really don't want to live anymore.

In the past, the Fifth Prince was indeed unpopular and not outstanding, but the Fifth Prince is now completely different from before.

Su Nan rubbed his head and muttered softly: "I was just talking..."

"You can't even talk about it!"

Cheng Jiuyuan said, "Since you are okay, I will go back first. You should take good care of your injuries."

"Go ahead, go ahead. Remember, I will always wait for you...Ah! Dad, be gentle! I'm still injured!"

Cheng Jiuyuan curled the corners of his lips slightly, bowed to Marquis Zhaoxin and his wife, and left the room.
