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

Cheng Jiuyuan followed Lin into the mansion. If one did not look closely, the mansion had not changed much from when she left.

However, the exotic flowers and plants in the garden have become common flowers and plants.

Just from this point alone, she knew that life at home was indeed not easy.

"When your father comes back from work, he will be very happy to see you. Mother has arranged a welcoming banquet in the evening, so you can go back to the yard and rest first. Look at your little face, it is pale, and mother feels sad when she sees it."

"I've already asked the servants to clean Feiyuan Pavilion. Go in and take a look. If you find anything that doesn't suit your taste, just tell mother."

Lin always had a friendly smile on her face, and she was not at all embarrassed about the sudden appearance of such a big daughter.

"Thank you, mother."

"Family, thank you for anything."

As soon as she entered Feiyuan Pavilion, two rows of servants saluted in unison: "Second Miss."

Cheng Jiuyuan took a quick look and saw some old faces as well as new ones. It seemed that both Zhou and Lin wanted to get involved in her courtyard.

"Let's go in and take a look." Lin took her inside.

The room hasn't changed much, but you can tell it's been decorated with care.

Cheng Jiuyuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Mu Jin.

Hibiscus presented an exquisite box.

Cheng Jiuyuan took the box and looked at Lin: "When mother entered the mansion, Yuan'er didn't come back because of her poor health. Please don't blame me, mother."

"You are too polite, child. You are not feeling well, and that is not what you want. Mother accepted your gift and knows your intentions."

When talking about the gift sent by Cheng Jiuyuan, Lin's smile became more sincere.

There was a faint smile in Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes, like ripples in spring water.

When Lin entered the mansion, she presented a half-meter-tall jade statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth. It was carved from a whole piece of jade and was very valuable.

"You take a rest first, mother..."

Just as Lin was about to leave, she heard voices coming from the yard.

"Is the second sister back?"

"Replying to the eldest lady, the young lady and the lady are in the room."

"Are you Chun Xing? I haven't seen you for a few years. You look even prettier." Aunt Zhou looked at Chun Xing with scrutiny in her eyes.

Chun Xing pursed her lips.

In Gusu, you can eat well, dress well, and not have to worry about anything, so you will naturally look good.

This time back in the capital, she has to survive in the cracks.

However, the scale in her heart had long tilted towards the second girl.

Soon, Aunt Zhou and Cheng Yunge entered the room one after another.

As soon as Cheng Yunge entered, he met a pair of black eyes.

It’s hard to tell what emotion is in those eyes. If you look closely, they seem cold, but if you look more closely, they seem gentle.

She was shocked.

"Tongtong, as expected of the original heroine, this look is absolutely stunning!"

"Host, go and test her to see if she is really sick."

Cheng Jiuyuan withdrew her gaze. After seven years, she heard it again.

Cheng Yunge had a good-looking appearance, just like in her previous life. Although there were noble ladies in the capital who were more beautiful than her, none of them had the carefree and compassionate nature of Cheng Yunge.

It's hard for anyone not to like her at first sight.

In her previous life, she was deceived by this kind-hearted appearance.

Zhou's mother and daughter bowed to Lin, and the smile on Lin's face faded a little.

"Second sister, I haven't seen you for seven years. I miss you so much." Cheng Yunge stepped forward and reached out to hold Cheng Jiuyuan's hand.

Cheng Jiuyuan took two steps back: "Sister, don't get too close, or you will get sick."

"It's okay, sister is not that fragile." Cheng Yunge quickly held her hand, which was cold to the touch.

Although it is autumn now, the weather is still hot. How come there is no heat at all?

Cheng Jiuyuan suddenly burst into coughing, withdrew her hand, and covered her lips with a handkerchief.

I coughed so hard that I broke out in a sweat.

Cheng Yunge immediately took two steps back.

Medical technology is backward in this era, so if you really get infected with an infectious disease, it will be troublesome.

A hint of joy flashed across her eyes.

"Tongting, she is like this now. Concubine Xian will not let Chuze marry her. Our mission will be completed soon."

"It's weird. She should be doing well without you. Why is she like this?"

"What's so strange about this? My arrival may have caused a butterfly effect. Don't worry about it. As long as the hero marries Cheng Yunge and Cheng Jiuyuan is completely unable to turn over and threaten Cheng Yunge, then the mission will be accomplished."

"Host, you can't be careless. Although she is weak, she looks like this, and many men like this..."

Aunt Zhou's face was full of worry and distress, but the hint of joy that flashed across her eyes did not escape Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes.

"Oh, my second daughter, you were such a healthy child in the mansion before, why did you become like this now?"

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan's face turning even paler due to coughing, Lin said, "Okay, Yuan'er has been on the road for so long, let her rest first, and we'll leave first."

"Mom, walk slowly."

"Then take a good rest, Miss. We are leaving first."

"Second sister, I have a lot of good medicinal herbs. I'll have someone send them to you later."

"Thank you very much."

After a few people left, Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes turned cold.

They are all good actors.

"Girl, would you like to take a bath first?" Song Lan asked.

"Ah."

At this time, Chun Xing pushed the door open.

"Miss, this is what Cuiwei, the maidservant next to Aunt Zhou, gave to me just now, asking me to go to Qiushui Garden at night."

"Go ahead. You know what to say."

"Yes."

……

In the main courtyard, Lin dismissed everyone else, leaving only Nanny Wang.

"Nanny, in your opinion, does the second young lady need to be on guard?"

"Madam, after my observation along the way, I found that the second young lady is indeed weak and is being kept alive by medicinal herbs."

"Although she is the legitimate daughter, it does not matter to Madam. Girls will get married sooner or later. She will soon be of marriageable age, which will only take a few years. Madam can support her and gain a good reputation for being generous and virtuous."

Lin nodded: "You are right."

"Madam, you still have to have your own child as soon as possible. The second young lady is not a threat to you, but the one from Qiu Shuiyuan is very restless. Although her son is useless, he is the only son of the Prime Minister."

"If Madam has always... the Prime Minister wants to adopt Cheng Changchuan to your name for the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you don't even have an excuse to refuse, wouldn't that be a bargain for Qiu Shuiyuan?"

Lin's face immediately darkened, full of disgust.

Cheng Changchuan is such a disgusting guy, she would never let him be adopted by her.

She touched her belly, her face full of worry.

"But it's been so many years, and I've tried all kinds of medicine, but I still can't get pregnant..."

Nanny Wang was also anxious, but she still advised: "Madam, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. The doctor has said that Madam is in very good health. The more anxious you are, the more counterproductive it will be."

"How can I not be anxious? Now the Second Miss is a sickly woman. You also know the ambition of the Prime Minister. If the Second Miss cannot be relied upon, he will definitely set his sights on that little bastard Cheng Yunge."

"The royal family will not marry a concubine's daughter. I even heard that little bitch suggesting that the prime minister make her bitch mother his second wife! She's dreaming!"

Nanny Wang said worriedly, "Unlike her brother, the eldest girl is a hard-working person. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she has a good reputation as a disciple of Lady Shangguan."

Lin's face was full of sarcasm and disdain: "A lady from a wealthy family, showing up in public all day long, has no shame!"

That being said, the customs of the people in this dynasty were open-minded, and she was just reciting poems and composing couplets, which was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Madam, you don't need to worry about the second young lady. She is a worry-free girl. You can just pamper her. Anyway, her maternal family will give her money, so we won't lose anything. On the contrary, we should pay more attention to the eldest young lady. If she really gets married to the royal family, the Prime Minister will also respect the one from Qiu Shuiyuan for the sake of the overall situation."

Lin suddenly sighed, "Alas, I was happy when I heard that the second young lady was a sickly woman. Now it seems that if the second young lady had a healthy body, with her looks, there would be no need for Cheng Yunge."

Speaking of this, Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Cheng Yunge is just relying on her good reputation. If something happened to her, would Shangguan Jing still want this disciple?"

"Madam, the eldest lady is a cautious person. I'm afraid this matter is..."

"Everything depends on human effort. If something happens to her, the Prime Minister will not have high hopes for her, and I can rest easy..."

Thinking of Cheng Changchuan, she lowered her eyes and said, after all, she had to have a child of her own.
