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

Before Pei Xiu sent the letter, he received a letter from Cheng Zongyang.

After reading the letter, he subconsciously walked towards Cuizhu Garden.

When I got outside the garden, I secretly felt it was ridiculous.

One day he actually discussed countermeasures with a seven-year-old child.

Ever since the last secret conversation in the study, he knew that his niece was not an ordinary child.

He walked in with the letter and saw Cheng Jiuyuan practicing calligraphy in the room. A maid was standing beside her helping her grind ink, and another maid was sitting beside her with her head propped up and dozing off. It seemed like a peaceful life.

The little girl in front of the desk stood with her back straight and her face serious.

The hand holding the pen is very steady, the strokes are graceful and the ends are efficient.

Looking at the written words again, they are elegant and free and easy, and do not seem to be written by a seven-year-old child.

Cheng Jiuyuan was practicing very hard when she saw a dark shadow cast on the rice paper. She looked up and found that her uncle was standing behind her.

"uncle."

Mu Jin put down the ink block and bowed quickly: "Master."

Song Lan, who was dozing off nearby, was also awakened and quickly stood up and saluted.

"Who taught Yuan'er to write?"

"It's mother."

Her mother started to educate her when she was three years old.

She learned a little bit of calligraphy and painting, but at that time she felt too tired and was always trying to be lazy and shirk her studies.

Her mother also spoiled her and thought she would have plenty of time to teach her in the future, but she didn't expect...

When she misses her mother, she practices calligraphy.

"No wonder your handwriting looks familiar." Pei Xiu picked up the paper and looked at it carefully.

"I haven't learned even one tenth of what mother has learned. What does uncle want from me?"

Pei Xiu put down the rice paper and looked at her: "Your father has sent a letter."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Song Lan and said, "Go and rest if you are tired."

Then he looked at Mu Jin and said, "Go watch outside the door."

"Yes."

After the two maids left, Pei Xiu took out the letter and handed it to Cheng Jiuyuan.

Cheng Jiuyuan took the letter, saw the first few words of concern, sneered, and skipped over them.

After reading the letter, Cheng Jiuyuan frowned: "The emperor sent someone to Gusu?"

"It should be sent secretly."

The emperor certainly did not want to announce his poisoning to the world, but the antidote was of vital importance, so he felt relieved only after sending his trusted confidant.

"Then we can change our plan. This is a ready-made witness." Cheng Jiuyuan said.

This person came at the right time. It was originally planned that the detoxification pill would be handed over to the county magistrate Weng Youcai, but then Weng Shizhang was poisoned.

In order to save his son, Weng Youcai will definitely change the tribute list.

The emperor already knows that the detoxification pill is among the tribute, and if it is missing, he will definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

Once it is found that the Pei family had handed over the tribute, the matter would have nothing to do with the Pei family and they would not be held responsible for the loss of the tribute.

Now with Mengzhou as a witness, things become simpler.

The tribute has not been submitted yet, the list has not been drawn up yet, and this detoxification pill is not considered a tribute yet.

There is no need to worry about the crime of losing tribute.

But Weng Youcai still suffered the consequences of snatching things from the emperor. Even if he was not charged with misappropriating tribute, the Weng family could not withstand the investigation.

"How can I find this person?" Pei Xiu pondered.

Suddenly, the two looked at each other and said in unison: "Treasure Pavilion!"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded: "As long as we pay more attention to the foreigners who have appeared in Baibao Pavilion in the past few days, especially those with Beijing accents, it will be easy to investigate."

Pei Xiu nodded: "Leave it to me."

Their previous plan was to present the detoxification pill to the Weng family. If the detoxification pill disappeared in the Weng family, the emperor would naturally conduct a strict investigation.

The evil deeds done by the Weng family over the years cannot withstand such strict scrutiny.

Now that His Majesty's confidant is coming to Gusu, there is no need to go through so much trouble.

"Uncle, please make the arrangements."

……

At night, Pei Xiu informed Baibao Pavilion that the elixir had been delivered to the mansion, and the identity of the person sent by the emperor could be basically confirmed.

"Uncle is fast."

"The person sent is Mengzhou, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He will arrive tonight and will stay at our inn." Pei Xiu turned the teacup with a smile on his face.

"That's more convenient." Cheng Jiuyuan was still practicing calligraphy. After a while, he asked, "There should be some movement in the Weng Mansion."

"almost."

"It's late at night, uncle, go back and have some rest. You have to perform a big show on stage tomorrow."

At dawn, the east gradually turned white, and the surrounding scenery was still a little blurry.

Outside the Pei residence, there was a sudden sound of banging on the door.

"Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

The doorman hurried over to open the door, and saw Weng Youcai and his men swaggering into the Pei Mansion.

"Where's Pei Xiu? Get him out!"

Soon, the Pei family gathered in the front hall.

"Dad, why are you here?" Weng Ruyi asked in surprise.

Weng Youcai didn't even look at Weng Ruyi, but looked directly at Pei Xiu.

"My dear son-in-law, I heard that you got a detoxification pill two days ago?"

"That's true." Pei Xiu nodded.

"Hurry up and give me the detoxification pill. Shi Zhang has been foaming at the mouth this morning and is unconscious now. The doctor said he was poisoned. No doctor in Gusu can cure the poison. Hurry up and give me the detoxification pill! It will be too late if you are late!"

"No!" Pei Xiu refused sternly.

"Pei Xiu! It's already this late. I don't have time to talk to you any more. You have to hand it over today, whether you want to or not!"

“I can’t give you the detoxification pill!” Pei Xiu still bit his tongue.

Weng Ruyi stepped forward quickly: "Pei Xiu, that's my brother! How can you be so unkind!"

“Ruyi, do you know where the detoxification pill is? Take dad there quickly!” Weng Youcai knew there was no time to waste, so he asked Weng Ruyi anxiously.

Weng Ruyi's eyes rolled: "Dad, the treasures of the Pei family are all in the warehouse. I have the key to the warehouse. I will take you there right away!"

Pei Xiu took a step forward: "Weng Ruyi, how dare you!"

"What should I be afraid of? It's just a pill, why do you treasure it so much?" Weng Ruyi came and went freely in the Pei family warehouse. She had long regarded the warehouse as her own.

She can take those jade and precious treasures, so it’s just a pill, there’s nothing she can’t take.

"Weng Ruyi, if you dare to take them there, we will divorce!" Pei Xiu growled.

The Weng family would definitely not want to divorce his wife. He had to make a quick decision today.

Otherwise, the Weng family will be in great trouble and will drag down the Pei family.

Under normal circumstances, Weng Youcai would not want the relationship between the two families to become strained.

But now his son is in danger, and he is the backbone of the Weng family.

"Let's get a divorce. I am Weng Youcai's daughter. Are you afraid that I can't find someone better than you? I tell you, Pei Xiu, your Pei family is finished!"

After saying that, Weng Youcai grabbed Weng Ruyi's wrist and said, "Take Dad with you!"

Weng Ruyi glanced at Pei Xiu. She just didn't believe that a merchant would be willing to divorce her, the daughter of an official!

He gritted his teeth and, under Pei Xiu's furious gaze, took Weng Youcai to the warehouse.

"Stop them quickly!" Pei Xiu shouted.

The Pei family servants rushed forward, but they were no match for the people brought by Weng Youcai.

Soon, all the servants in Pei Mansion collapsed.

Madam Pei insisted on coming to see, so Cheng Jiuyuan and Sheng had no choice but to support her.

When seeing this scene, Mrs. Pei cried out "There is no law".

The three young masters of the Pei family rushed over. Pei Yan, who had a bad temper, was about to rush forward with a stick, but was stopped by Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu gave Pei Xuan a look: "Take them back to the room, don't mess things up!"

Pei Xuan glanced at his father, then immediately grabbed one of his younger brothers and walked out.

"Brother! Don't you see that our family is being bullied? Let me go! I will fight them!" Pei Yan kept struggling.

"Brother, the Weng family is going too far..." Even Pei Jin, who usually has the most stable emotions, was shaking with anger.

Weng Ruyi opened the warehouse and looked at Weng Youcai as if asking for credit.

"Dad, the pill must be here!"

"Search for me!"

I thought the pill would be hard to find, but I didn't expect it to be placed in the most conspicuous place.

"Dad, I found it!"

Weng Youcai took the porcelain bottle, on which were written the words "Detoxification Pill".

"Okay, okay! Hahaha, my son is saved!"

Weng Youcai turned around and was about to leave with the porcelain bottle when he caught a glimpse of the room full of treasures.

Everything from the Pei family must be good!

"Move it back!" Weng Youcai waved his hand, and his men started to move the things out.

"There is no justice!"

"Weng Youcai, you are the magistrate of Gusu County, but you are doing all the things that bandits do! You have lost all conscience!"

At this time, many people gathered outside Pei's house to watch the fun.

Due to Weng Youcai's tyranny over the years, no one dared to step forward and could only talk in a low voice.

"Isn't the Pei family related to County Magistrate Weng by marriage?"

"Don't you know? The Weng family made its fortune by annexing their in-laws."

"It's really lawless..."

"Hey, what can we do? The people should not fight against the officials. The relationship behind the Weng Mansion is too complicated."

Pei Xiu rushed out in grief and anger and threw a divorce letter to Weng Ruyi.

"Please bear witness to the fact that I, Pei Xiu, and Weng Ruyi have divorced today. From now on, my Pei family and the Weng family will have nothing to do with each other!"

Weng Ruyi picked up the divorce letter and snorted coldly.

She has already understood the Pei family's business thoroughly in the past few years. After what happened today, it is impossible for her to stay in the Pei Mansion anymore.

According to the original plan, the Pei Mansion could survive for a few more years. Now it seems that Dad should advance the plan.

It’s just right to get divorced.

Her father is going to be very successful in the future, she can't be trapped in a small business!

"Let's go!" Weng Youcai gave an order and swaggered away with his men carrying things from Pei family's warehouse.

Pei Xiu looked deeply at the backs of the Weng father and daughter. If there hadn't been people outside the door, the corners of his mouth would have curled up.
