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

Qiushuiyuan

"Auntie, there are many gatherings around the New Year. This year, because of Master Shangguan, I may be allowed to attend the palace banquet. You still don't allow people to come to your house to make clothes. Do you want me to wear old clothes to enter the palace?"

"I also need to prepare a few sets of headgear. My piano skills have improved so much. These banquets are a good opportunity for me to become famous." There was some urgency in Cheng Yunge's voice.

At this time of year in previous years, the best embroiderers in the capital would come to take measurements and tailor clothes.

Now that the New Year is approaching, she waits and waits but sees no movement from her aunt.

The custom-made clothes and headgear have a time limit and cannot be prepared at the last minute.

Zhou flipped through the account book and rubbed her brows.

"I just gave you, Master Shangguan, a large sum of money. Please wait a little longer."

"It will be too late to wait any longer."

"Wait for your father to receive his salary, and wait for that little bitch Cheng Jiuyuan to come back."

"Then how long do we have to wait..."

Just at this moment, a maid came in hurriedly.

"Auntie, young lady, Doctor Zhang is here and is now talking to the master in the front hall."

Zhou and Cheng Yunge were both delighted and stood up and walked towards the front hall.

Zhou thought that she would have money once Cheng Jiuyuan came back.

This time she learned her lesson and asked the Pei family to give her the deeds to the dozen or so shops.

With Cheng Jiuyuan in hand, the Pei family had no choice but to agree.

The reason why Cheng Yunge was so eager to see Cheng Jiuyuan was that she had not absorbed luck from the original heroine, Cheng Jiuyuan, for such a long time, and she obviously felt that her luck was not as good as before.

When I arrived at the front hall, I only saw a middle-aged man and Cheng Zongyang, but no Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Master, has Yuan'er come back? Why can't I see her?"

"My sister is already sick and has traveled a long distance. I think she should go back to her room to rest. I'll go see her." Cheng Yunge bowed to Cheng Zongyang and was about to leave.

Doctor Zhang lamented the harmony in the backyard of the prime minister's mansion. The concubine and the concubine's sister really cared about the terminally ill Miss Cheng.

Cheng Zongyang said in a deep voice: "Yuan'er hasn't come back."

Cheng Yunge paused and turned around instantly.

"She didn't come back? Why not? It's almost the New Year. If she doesn't come back to accompany her father, she is being unfilial."

Doctor Zhang frowned and took back his previous thought.

"Miss Cheng, it's not that the second young lady doesn't want to come back, it's that she really can't. She is very ill, and if she returns to Beijing, I'm afraid she will die on the way."

"Impossible!" Cheng Yunge was the first one who did not believe it.

Cheng Jiuyuan was the original heroine. If there were no changes, she would not have died.

What's more, Cheng Jiuyuan has been living a life of luxury since childhood, so his health must be very good.

How is it possible that I got sick as soon as I arrived in Gusu?

"How could what I saw with my own eyes be false? Miss Cheng, are you questioning my medical skills?"

As a doctor, what I hate most is people doubting my medical skills.

Seeing that Cheng Zongyang and Doctor Zhang's faces had darkened, Cheng Yunge immediately changed her tone: "Uncle Zhang, you misunderstood. I am just worried about my sister."

Zhou didn't care about Cheng Jiuyuan's health. She just wanted Cheng Jiuyuan to come back. It didn't matter whether she was dead or disabled.

"You are so seriously ill, you have to go back to the capital! There are many doctors with excellent medical skills in the capital, and Yuan'er's illness can be cured!"

Doctor Zhang's expression became even uglier: "Do you want Miss Cheng to die on the road?"

"Prime Minister, I'll tell you the truth. Miss Cheng is hanging on to her last breath. There is a medicinal spring in Gusu. If you soak in it for ten or eight years, maybe there will be a miracle. But even if she hangs on to her last breath, she will have to take medicine all her life."

Cheng Zongyang kept a sullen face and said nothing.

Zhang Zhonggui's medical skills are among the best even in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

The only legitimate daughter has become a sickly woman, and the only son is rumored to be a homosexual. What a bad luck!

The family business he had built with great difficulty could not be ruined by his descendants.

At this moment, he had a stronger desire to remarry.

Cheng Yunge couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

Is it true that Cheng Jiuyuan is really dying?

Even if Cheng Jiuyuan didn't die, according to Doctor Zhang, she would still be a sickly child even when she grew up.

Then Cheng Jiuyuan is not a threat. People in the royal family will not marry a sickly woman as their wife, and Cheng Jiuyuan's status does not allow her to be a concubine.

In other words, she will be able to complete the task soon.

As long as she can make the male protagonist fall in love with Cheng Yunge, she can retire with honor.

The most anxious one was Zhou.

If Cheng Jiuyuan doesn't come back, she will have no money.

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts and fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that the Cheng family suddenly fell silent, Doctor Zhang thought that they were grieving for the second daughter of the Cheng family.

He consoled them, "Don't be so pessimistic. What if the medicinal spring is effective? What if the second young lady has the chance to meet a miracle doctor?"

Cheng Zongyang said, "If even you can't cure it, how can any miracle doctor cure it?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe the second young lady has met Yan Guihong, the judge of life and death?"

Cheng Zongyang snorted and laughed.

Rather than hoping to meet Yan Guihong, it is better to pray for the Buddha's blessing.

"Speaking of Yan Guihong, Prime Minister, congratulations." Imperial Doctor Zhang bowed and congratulated.

"Why are you so happy?"

"Prime Minister, don't you know? The Pei family spent 50,000 taels to bid for the anti-poison pill of Yan Guihong, the Judge of Life and Death, and said that they would give it to His Majesty as a tribute. This Pei family is going to catch the eyes of the royal family!"

"Is this true?" Cheng Zongyang was shocked.

"I heard it with my own ears, sir, your Yue family is truly wealthy and powerful, the envy of others."

Cheng Zongyang didn't show it on his face, but he was actually quite happy in his heart.

He is now the prime minister, and the Pei family can no longer provide him with any help.

But if the Pei family caught the emperor's eye, that would be a different story.

"I met with His Majesty when I returned to the capital. He has already sent someone close to him to Gusu to ensure that the detoxification pill is safe. This shows how much His Majesty cares about this detoxification pill."

After seeing off Imperial Physician Zhang, Cheng Zongyang immediately sent a letter to Gusu.

The letter first expressed concern about Cheng Jiuyuan's condition, and then spent a large part of the letter asking about the detoxification pill, and also asked the Pei family to ensure that the detoxification pill was delivered safely to the emperor.
