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

The teapot is boiling and the plain porcelain is being passed quietly.

Cheng Jiuyuan was leaning lazily on the couch, holding a book in one hand and a cup of fruit tea handed to her by Mu Jin in the other, with a relaxed look on his face.

Songlan, the gossiper, rushed in.

"Miss, the Weng Mansion has been raided! All the people in the city have gone to watch the fun. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Cheng Jiuyuan sat up straight: "Was it copied?"

She put down the cup and the book, stood up and walked out.

"Of course I have to join in the fun."

This was planned by her.

As soon as I walked to the door, I met the three Pei Xuan brothers.

"Has my cousin heard about it too?" Pei Xuan asked.

"Well, cousin is going too?"

"Let's go together then."

The coachman pulled a carriage full of young masters, followed by a few maids and guards, and the group of people went towards the Weng Mansion.

From a distance, he heard the noise and Cheng Jiuyuan lifted the curtain of the car.

Several people looked out through the window without getting out of the car.

I saw that the gate of Weng Mansion was crowded with common people. The plaque with the words "Weng Mansion" written on it had been broken into two pieces and was being stepped on by people. There were soldiers and officers standing at the gate.

Soon, soldiers came out with a group of people wearing shackles and shackles. Men and women stood in several rows.

The Weng family, who were once high and mighty, now had numbness and fear on their faces.

As soon as Weng Youcai showed up, the crowd became excited and the people around him kept throwing rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even dirty things at the Weng family.

"You bastard! You bastard, you deserve this day!"

"Hahaha, God has eyes! Your Majesty is wise!"

"Son! You see, this bastard official got his comeuppance!"

"You bastard, give me back my daughter's life!"

"..."

The officers and soldiers standing nearby were affected and quickly stepped back.

The Weng family stood in the middle of the open space, unable to raise their heads because of being hit by something.

At this time, a group of soldiers came escorting a young girl, who was Weng Qianqian who was sent to the nunnery.

Weng Qianqian has had smooth sailing since she was born.

When this group of soldiers arrived at the nunnery, they arrested her without saying a word. She had no idea what was going on.

The soldier pushed her, and she immediately yelled, "You little slave, how dare you do this to me? My grandfather was the governor of Nanzhili. When he comes, I'll have him chop off the heads of your whole family!"

Jiang had her head down, but when she heard her daughter move her father out, she immediately rushed forward to grab her daughter.

"Shut up!"

Only then did Weng Qianqian see the appearance of her own family in the crowd.

"Grandfather? Dad? This...what's going on!?"

The officers and soldiers ignored her and went forward to put shackles and handcuffs on her.

"Sir, the Weng family, a total of 160 people, have all been brought to justice!"

The leading official nodded, stood up and stretched out his hand, signaling the people to be quiet.

But if the soldiers had not stopped them, the angry civilians would have rushed forward and torn the Weng family to pieces. How could they remain calm?

"Silence! Silence!"

The officers and soldiers shouted themselves hoarse, but the situation was still out of control.

Someone brought a gong and struck it a few times, and the people finally stopped beating for a while.

The leading official then took out the verdict and began to read out the crimes in public.

"Gusu County Magistrate Weng Youcai, the Censorate has found that during his tenure, he took credit for himself, accepted bribes for personal gain, was a scoundrel and treacherous, colluded with others, and abused the people..."

The officials foamed at the corners of their mouths as they read out the charges against Weng Youcai. This reading lasted for a full stick of incense. They were so numerous that it was difficult to list them all.

"According to the laws of our dynasty, Weng Youcai is sentenced to immediate execution, and his son Weng Shizhang is also sentenced to immediate execution. The rest of his direct relatives are exiled to Fangling! In addition, Weng's mansion is confiscated..."

When the verdict came out, the people were overjoyed and knelt down, calling out "Your Majesty is wise."

The Weng family members looked as pale as death, and Weng Youcai was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder.

After the verdict was read out, Weng Youcai and his son were taken to the execution ground, and the rest of their family members were temporarily imprisoned awaiting exile.

The officers and soldiers led the way and escorted Weng Youcai and his son, followed by a group of civilians.

"Cousin, there's nothing to see in beheading. Let's go back."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.

Just as the driver was about to drive away, he heard Weng Ruyi's shrill cry coming from outside.

"Pei Xiu! Pei Xiu, save me!"

"Husband, I was wrong!"

"Is Dad here too?" Pei Yan lifted the curtain and looked outside, and saw Weng Ruyi struggling desperately and shouting frantically at their carriage.

When she saw that Pei Xiu was not in the carriage, Weng Ruyi called out to Pei Xuan and his brothers, asking them to go find Pei Xiu to save her.

Pei Yan lowered the car curtain: "Unlucky, Uncle Feng, hurry up."

The driver responded and drove away in the carriage.

After returning home, they couldn't wait to go to Shou'an Hall to share the good news with Madam Pei and Mrs. Sheng.

"Grandma, mother, didn't you see that the Weng family had rotten eggs all over their heads?"

"This Weng Youcai has so many children and so many in-laws, but in the end, there is not a single one who can take responsibility."

"Those who can resist have heard the news a long time ago. Didn't you see that on the list of prisoners today, there are several married women from the Weng family? Someone saw that something was wrong and divorced the daughters of the Weng family early on."

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. How heartless." Pei Yan sighed, shaking his head.

Sheng slapped him on the head: "You are so young, why are you so sentimental?"

Pei Xuan put down the teacup and said gently, "The Weng family used their daughter as a tool to make money. How much love can the Weng family have for the Weng family? They are not husband and wife, but just mutually beneficial."

Pei Yan nodded and said, "Brother, what you said makes sense. When I want to get married in the future, I will only ask for true love."

Sheng slapped him again: "How old are you? You're just thinking about these nonsense."

"Mom, why do you always hit me?"

Everyone in the room laughed secretly.

At this time, Mr. Pei and Pei Xiu came in, and they both seemed to be in a good mood.

"Just now, someone from the government came with a message, asking us to go and get the things back from the mansion. Are you relieved now?" Pei Xiu looked at Sheng.

Sheng smiled and said, "I felt sad for a long time, but now I feel better."

"This cancer that has been entrenched in Gusu has finally been eradicated. Ask the kitchen to prepare some more appetizers today. I want to have a drink with Xiu'er."

That night, according to the suggestion of several children, they did not eat in the house, but in the pavilion.

There were charcoal fires burning in the four corners of the pavilion, so it wasn't cold.

Outside the pavilion, the moonlight shines on the branches, leaking out and breaking into pieces like residual snow.

The antique soup on the table was steaming hot. Old Master Pei and Pei Xiu were drinking from cup to cup, their faces turning red.

Old Madam Pei told the two to drink less, then turned to ask her daughter-in-law about the New Year gifts.

"My daughter-in-law has prepared it a long time ago and will send it to each family before the New Year."

Madam Pei suddenly looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Your two masters are both alone. How about inviting you two to our home to have some fun together?"

Pei Jin shook her head: "My master doesn't like crowds."

Cheng Jiuyuan heard this and said, "I'll go with you to deliver the festival gifts, and ask the two masters what they think."

"Then go to Yunwu Mountain and ask me to go with you." Pei Jin said.

Afterwards, the three young masters of the Pei family talked about interesting stories in the academy. Of course, most of the time it was Pei Yan who was talking, while the others were listening.

The whole family sat together, laughing and talking.

Looking at this heartwarming scene in front of him, Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes became slightly warm.

The Weng family has been dealt with, and now the Pei family will be able to develop better.

She also needs to grow up on time.

The enemies in the capital are still waiting for her.
