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

After Cheng Jiuyuan came back from Loudong, she immersed herself in the pharmacy.

In order to make it easier for her to make medicine, Old Mrs. Pei converted the yard next to Cuizhu Garden into her exclusive pharmacy.

Pei Jin envied this for a long time.

Hibiscus and Isatis understand pharmacology and help her turn, dry and process the herbs every day.

This kind of day lasted for more than half a month.

Looking at the neatly arranged row of small porcelain bottles, Cheng Jiuyuan smiled with relief.

She opened the door and looked into the yard.

The yard is full of east wind, the crabapple trees are covered with embroidery, and the pear blossoms are like snow.

"Yesterday the flowers were bright and beautiful, today they are about to fall." Cheng Jiuyuan sighed.

Mu Jin brought the food over and said with a smile, "Girl, let's eat."

"Help me put away all the medicines in the house."

"Yes."

After dinner, Cheng Jiuyuan prepared to go see her grandmother.

In the past few years, Cheng Jiuyuan's medical skills have surpassed her master's. Under her careful care, Madam Pei's health is much better than it was seven years ago.

Before she reached Shouchun Hall, she heard someone calling her halfway.

She turned her head and saw Pei Xuan coming from the stone path.

The apricot blossoms on the roadside are dancing in the wind, and the apricot blossoms are really blowing all over the head. There is a young man on the road, so romantic.

Her cousin is so talented that even the princes and nobles in the capital can rarely compare with him.

"Big cousin."

Pei Xuan walked closer and handed her a box in his hand: "Miss Yan asked me to bring it to you."

Cheng Jiuyuan took it and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Sister Yu for a long time, how is she?"

"pretty good."

"When I'm done with my work these few days, I'll go to the academy to play with her."

During these seven years, the only friend she made in Gusu was Yan Yu.

I'm going back to the capital, and I really don't want to leave.

The two of them went to Shouchun Hall together, and Sheng happened to be there too.

"Are you willing to leave your pharmacy?" Sheng joked.

"Aunt, you look better day by day. When Yuan'er went out with you, she thought you were her sister." Cheng Jiuyuan looked at her aunt while taking her grandmother's pulse.

Everyone likes nice words. Sheng touched her smooth face and said angrily, "You kid are teasing your aunt."

Madam Pei looked at her daughter-in-law and nodded, "If Yuan'er hadn't said it, I wouldn't have noticed that you are getting younger and younger."

"It's all Yuan'er's credit, the Xingdan and Baihua Cream. When I went to the banquet, the ladies kept asking me about them."

Sheng already loved her niece, and after seven years of living with her, she treated Cheng Jiuyuan as her own daughter.

Watching the little girl grow from a tiny bean sprout into the graceful young lady she is today, Sheng's heart is filled with pride as a mother.

But when he thought that Yuan'er was going back to Beijing, the smile on his face faded a little.

"The Cheng family gave us the deadline to return to Beijing before we reach the age of 15, which is only half a year away. Sigh..."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at her grandmother: "Grandma, everything is fine. You still have to take the Bi Xin Pills."

Madam Pei was also worried after hearing what her daughter-in-law said. She looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "That's right. Your father remarried. Zhou is bad enough, and I don't know what Lin's personality is like."

Sheng said: "Zhou is easy to deal with. No matter what, she is just a concubine and cannot surpass Yuan'er. The key is that Cheng Zongyang is not too old, and Lin is only thirty. If they give birth to a child..."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips.

Her father remarried five years ago, and her new stepmother is Lin Manqing, the daughter of Lin Xiao, the cavalry lieutenant.

Her father is quite ambitious.

Although the Cavalry Captain is only a third-rank official, he has 30,000 cavalrymen under his command and holds real power.

Cheng Zongyang was already the prime minister, what he lacked was military power.

The position of the Cavalry Lieutenant Commander is not too high, so it will not arouse fear, it is just right.

Her father is really thoughtful.

However, no matter how much he planned, he could not escape the schemes of the person next to him.

He cannot be born.

"Grandma, aunt, don't worry, Dad will protect me."

As long as there is no conflict of interest with Cheng Zongyang, he will of course protect her.

Pei Xuan also comforted her, "From Gusu to the capital, if there is no delay on the way, it will only take four or five days. Our Pei family has a house in the capital. If you miss your cousin, your grandmother and mother can also stay in the capital for a while."

Sheng looked at her eldest son and suddenly realized, "I almost forgot that you will take part in the Spring Examination next year. When you become an official, Yuan'er will have someone to rely on in the capital."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "Big cousin is not only Yuan'er's support, but also the support of the entire Pei family."

"My cousin thinks so highly of me, it really gives me a lot of pressure." Pei Xuan said with a gentle smile.

He said he was under a lot of pressure, but his face looked relaxed.

He is neither self-deprecating nor arrogant, he knows his own strength.

He also knew that the Pei family needed someone who had a say in the court and could protect people.

He has never slacked off over the years, just like his cousin.

He didn't know why his cousin, a girl, was working so hard. Maybe she felt insecure.

Not only does he have to protect the Pei family, he also has to protect his cousin for the rest of her life.

A few people chatted and laughed in Shouchun Hall for a while, and Old Madam Pei looked tired.

"You guys go back, the old lady wants to take a nap." Sheng said.

"Grandson, please leave."

"Yuan'er, I'm leaving."

Seeing the outstanding young couple walking out side by side, Sheng's eyes lit up.

"Mom, look..."

Old Madam Pei followed her daughter-in-law's gaze and understood what she meant.

"I know Yuan'er is the daughter of the prime minister. Our Pei family cannot afford to marry her." Soon, Sheng withdrew her gaze.

She just couldn't bear to part with Yuan'er. If Yuan'er could marry into the Pei family...

But thinking of the huge disparity between the two classes, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, plus Cheng Zongyang's snobbishness, he would definitely not agree.

Before, the child was young, so Mrs. Pei never thought about it in this regard.

"Yuan'er is not that kind of person."

"Yuan Er is not of course, Cheng Zongyang is."

"But there is a chance now. Brother Xuan is going to take the imperial examination. Let's wait for the result."

Sheng nodded: "Alright, if Brother Xuan is really blessed, I will wake up with a smile even when I am asleep."

"It depends on Yuan'er's intention. If it's just a brother-sister relationship, we can't force it."

"Of course, I'm not bragging. The three young masters in our family are all good. In the past two years, whenever we attend a banquet, many ladies come to ask about my daughter-in-law."

"My daughter-in-law wants to make sure the children are not trapped by love affairs. They should first establish a career and then start a family..."

"You are right. These three children are all very lucky. Their future is not only in Gusu."

Sheng nodded: "Although Brother Yan is not very knowledgeable, he has been following his father for the past two years. His father said that at such a young age, Brother Yan can overwhelm those old hands in the business world."

Madam Pei nodded: "Brother Jin'er is well educated, has good martial arts and medical skills, and will participate in the Spring Examination in two years. You have given birth to three good children for our Pei family, and mother is very grateful to you."

"Mother, what's the point of saying thank you or not. I've been married into the Pei Mansion for so many years, and you and father have always treated me like a daughter. Marrying into the Pei family is my blessing..."
