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

Cheng Zongyang was thrown out of the palace, and the servant hurried to meet him.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Cheng Zongyang's face turned pale. Suddenly, he covered his chest and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The servant screamed in surprise and hurriedly helped him into the carriage: "Quick! Go back to the mansion and get a doctor!"

When the carriage stopped, the servant helped him get off the carriage and immediately shouted, "Quick! Help get the court doctor over here!"

Cheng Zongyang got off the carriage with a dejected look on his face. He pushed the servant away and walked inside tremblingly.

Lin came out in a hurry: "Master, the palace banquet is over so soon? Where is Yuan'er? Didn't you say you would bring Yuan'er back today?"

Cheng Zongyang said that he would bring Cheng Jiuyuan back after the palace banquet. In front of all the officials, Cheng Jiuyuan had to return home.

She didn't go because she was afraid of a conflict with Cheng Jiuyuan, so she claimed to be sick.

Lin was looking out when Cheng Zongyang suddenly raised his hand and slapped her hard.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise.

"Don't mention that bastard to me!" Cheng Zongyang's voice was filled with fury and cruelty, like an angry beast.

Lin was almost knocked down by the slap, and Nanny Wang quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Prime Minister, my wife is not feeling well, how can you ..."

Lin covered her face and stopped the nanny from continuing.

Cheng Zongyang is not feeling well today.

She has been married to Cheng Zongyang for so many years, and this is the first time that Cheng Zongyang has hit her.

Before, even when Cheng Zongyang was angry, he only called Cheng Jiuyuan "evil girl", but this time he called her "bastard".

Just as Lin was about to ask, she saw Cheng Zongyang fall down, holding his chest.

"Ah! Master!"

"Quick, court doctor!"

There was panic.

After Cheng Zongyang was carried back to his room by the servants, the court physician came. Lin was worried, so she asked the housekeeper to invite the imperial physician.

After checking the pulse, the court doctor bowed and said, "Your Excellency is suffering from a heart attack due to anxiety. In addition, your injuries are so serious that you should rest at home. However, Your Excellency..."

"Is the situation serious now?" Lin asked hurriedly.

The court doctor nodded with a serious face.

"How serious is it?"

"We will know this only when the Prime Minister wakes up."

"Then when will you wake up?"

"It's hard to say. In this situation, some people may never wake up."

Lin was shocked. Is it so serious?

That’s right, he had a broken arm and was still running around all day. I don’t know what happened to make him so angry.

I heard that he vomited blood before. What happened in the palace that made him so angry that he vomited blood?

He got so angry when Cheng Jiuyuan was mentioned. Could this matter be related to Cheng Jiuyuan?

Lin looked at Cheng Zongyang lying on the bed, lost in thought.

It would be good if Cheng Zongyang couldn't wake up.

She was comfortable taking care of the family business of the prime minister's mansion.

The family property of the prime minister's mansion plus Cheng Zongyang's salary are enough for them and their son to live a life of luxury.

Not long after, the housekeeper hurried in.

"Ma'am, something terrible has happened!"

"What happened? Where's the royal doctor?"

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said quickly, "The master has been dismissed from office, how can we invite the imperial physician?"

Lin stood up quickly, "What?!"

"Why was he suddenly dismissed from office?"

"Not only that, I also heard that the second girl severed her father-daughter relationship with the Prime Minister in front of the Emperor and all the civil and military officials, and even asked the Prime Minister to divorce the late wife."

Lin's eyes widened, "Yuan'er is so bold?"

Nanny Wang was also shocked and asked quickly, "Second Miss's mother has been dead for many years, how can they still get a divorce? Will the master agree to this?"

"Master has to agree even if he doesn't agree. It's the Emperor who makes the decision. The Second Miss went to Liping not to elope, but to save the Emperor's life. Moreover, the Second Miss married Prince Chen in Liping, witnessed by the Emperor and the Pei family. She is now the legitimate Princess of Chen!"

Lin and Nanny Wang looked at each other.

No wonder Cheng Zongyang was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

Cheng Jiuyuan is so successful now. She is now the Princess of Chen and will become the Crown Princess or even the Queen in the future.

But now he broke off relations with Cheng Zongyang, and did so in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials. He cared so much about his reputation and future that he was not angry to death on the spot, which showed that he was open-minded.

Lin looked at the old man on the bed with a frown on her face, looking disdainful.

She was much younger than Cheng Zongyang. Now looking at Cheng Zongyang, she saw that he looked very old, was missing an arm, and had been dismissed from office. The more she looked at him, the more she disliked him.

Now that she has lost her salary as prime minister and only has to rely on this family business, she has to be very careful with her money.

"I told you to treat Yuan'er well before, but you didn't listen. Now it's too late to regret. And Prince Chen, they both love each other, but you insisted on being a fence-sitter. Now look what you did, all in vain." Lin complained as she looked at the unconscious person on the bed.

Cheng Zongyang clearly had many chances, but he made the wrong choices.

The housekeeper also knew that the Cheng family was now ruled by Lin, so he immediately flattered her, "Madam, there is another happy event."

Lin looked at the housekeeper: "What's the good news?"

"Although the Prime Minister was dismissed from office, your father was promoted."

Lin's face was full of joy: "Really?"

"I have inquired about it clearly. Your father has been promoted from the third-rank cavalry lieutenant to the second-rank cavalry general!"

Lin looked at Nanny Wang excitedly: "Nanny! Hurry, get ready. I need to go back to the Lin Mansion! I have to go and congratulate my father in person."

Nanny Wang was also very happy, but she looked at the old man lying on the bed, frowning and saying, "But Master..."

Lin almost forgot about this old man. She looked at the court doctor and said, "Just prescribe some medicine for him to take first."

Then he looked at the housekeeper: "Let the maid take care of it."

"Yes!"

Mrs. Lin walked out with Nanny Wang, her face full of joy.

"Look, I said my father was farsighted. He was right to choose Prince Chen."

Nanny Wang also nodded: "Yes, it's a good thing that you didn't listen to the Prime Minister... the Master. You have always protected the Second Young Lady. From now on, the Second Young Lady will definitely take care of Madam and the Young Master."

"That's right. Master Wuwang said that Ji Ge'er would be taken care of by a noble person. I said Yuan'er was that noble person. Yuan'er has always been my lucky star. As soon as she returned home, Zhou Yurong and her children died or became disabled. It was really a relief..."

"Go and bring Ji Ge'er here quickly. I'll take him back to my grandparents' home..."

Lin was happily preparing to return to her parents' home, while Cheng Zongyang was lying alone in bed, unconscious.

Without the master around, the servants in the mansion gossip without any hesitation.

A group of maids and old women were sitting on the steps, eating melon seeds and gossiping.

"This person should not do anything against his conscience. Look, the late wife is such a good person, she is beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered."

"You said that the master disliked the Pei family because they were a business, but his favorite concubine Zhou was not as good-looking as the late wife, and her appearance and talent were not as good as the late wife's. What do you think he wanted?"

"If he had been devoted to his late wife, he would be so successful now."

"Now I'm lying half dead in bed. This is really karma."

"Men are like this. How can wild flowers smell as good as domestic flowers? They even want to taste the shit outside."

The old woman's words were a little harsh, and she was even more unrestrained depending on whether the master of the house was around or not.

A servant passed by and protested, "Madam Liu, don't generalize. There are still good men in this world. Look, aren't His Royal Highness Prince Chen and I both good men?"

Madam Liu pouted and scolded with a smile: "Are you worthy enough to compete with His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"

The servants huddled together and laughed, and the ground was covered with melon seed shells, which were left everywhere without anyone to clean up.

The once clean and noble prime minister's residence has shown signs of decline.
