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

After the court was dismissed, Chu Heng left the hall and was about to go to the Ministry of Justice to inquire about the case, but was stopped by the prince.

The prince took a few steps forward and pulled him aside. He raised his head and looked around.

"Fifth brother, I didn't expect you to be held responsible for this matter. God is helping me. Fifth brother, Liang Yi really deserves to die. He committed a heinous crime behind my back. You don't have to worry about saving my face. Just sentence him according to the law."

"Royal brother, if the truth is verified, all nine generations of the clan will be executed. I feel that I am powerless to cover up for them." Chu Heng looked helpless.

After saying that, he looked around like the crown prince and asked in a low voice, "Brother, everyone knows that Liang Yi is your man. Tell me the truth. Do you have anything to do with this?"

Seeing Chu Heng's thoughtful look, the prince was troubled, but still sighed: "Although he is my man, I didn't know he was so bold..."

Chu Heng raised his hand: "I understand. Then I will find out where he hid the silver as soon as possible. I hope that the silver I find will be no less than the silver he embezzled. This way, the case can be closed as soon as possible without having to dig deeper."

The prince smiled very reluctantly: "If you can do this well and recover so much silver for my father, my father will definitely value you very much."

"Hey, actually I don't want to get involved in this. I don't even have a chance to slack off. I've made an appointment to go out for a drink..."

"Fifth brother, I'm sorry for the trouble. But for the sake of our great plan, you should not just think about having fun."

"Well, fine. I will go to the Ministry of Justice to learn more about the situation. If it involves our faction, I will protect him if I can. If not, don't blame me, brother."

"Of course not, of course not. I am very grateful to you for your kindness, Fifth Brother."

"Then I will go first."

……

After lunch, Cheng Jiuyuan took a leisurely walk in the mansion. The summer heat finally dissipated and a breeze blew by, bringing a touch of coolness.

Just as he was reaching the edge of the pond, he saw the court physician hurrying in with a medicine box, a look of anger on his face.

"Xue Bo, what are you doing..."

Xue Peng suppressed his anger and saluted calmly: "Hello, Second Miss."

"Have you just finished examining your sister?"

"Yes."

"How is my sister's condition?"

Xue Peng sighed: "There is no improvement at all."

Because of this sudden strange illness, he was scolded by Aunt Zhou and was worthless even at his old age.

If she wants to call the imperial physician, then go ahead. This disease is really unprecedented and even if the imperial physician comes, he may not be able to cure it.

One look at his expression revealed that he had suffered a lot, and Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips in pleasure.

This old guy belongs to Zhou family. She was obviously very ill in her previous life, but he said that she was just a little girl acting like a spoiled child and wanted Cheng Zongyang to be sympathetic and accompany her.

Cheng Zongyang was busy with his future every day. Seeing that she was so ignorant, he had little affection for her to begin with, and he became even more indifferent to her.

"You go down first, I'll go see my sister."

"The second girl should not go. The eldest girl is getting more and more irritable. Sigh..."

"How could that be? Big sister has always been kind to others." Cheng Jiuyuan retorted.

Cheng Yunge had everything going smoothly in her previous life, so of course she could maintain a gentle and generous appearance.

And now, a small setback is about to reveal her true colors?

She took Hibiscus and Indigofera and headed towards Cheng Yunge's yard.

Before I even entered the yard, I heard Zhou's harsh curses.

"They are all a bunch of good-for-nothings. They take the monthly allowance from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they can't even cure such a minor problem."

"Don't worry, Yun Ge. Mother has sent someone to find your father and ask him to invite the imperial physician."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips. This Zhou was really arrogant.

Although the imperial physician does not hold a high position, he is specifically responsible for treating royal family members. Even if he wants to see a minister, he has to ask the emperor for permission.

What's more, Cheng Yunge is just a concubine's daughter.

She walked in with a smile, "Sister, I came to see you."

After saying that, he stood ten feet away from Cheng Yunge, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yunge instantly became angry.

"If you are so afraid of being smoked, why are you here?"

As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Zhou and the two maids took several steps back.

Cheng Yunge became even angrier.

Is this how she will be for the rest of her life? Then how can she conquer Chu Ze?

Seeing that Cheng Jiuyuan was here to make fun of herself, Zhou said, "Thank you for your concern, Second Miss. When the imperial physician comes, the eldest lady will get better soon. Second Miss should go back first."

"Really? That's good." Cheng Jiuyuan's gaze turned to Zhou's face and looked at her for a long time.

Zhou was confused by her look.

"W-what are you looking at?"

"Auntie has been really worried about my sister. It's only been two days and she seems to have aged a lot."

"Nonsense!" Zhou touched her cheek.

She knew that the Prime Minister was cold and ungrateful, so she paid special attention to taking care of herself, thus retaining some of the Prime Minister's true love.

"If you don't believe me, let me see. I've even got white hair and fine lines on my face..."

Cheng Yunge looked at Zhou with surprise in his eyes.

She had been tortured by her strange illness these past two days and was exhausted, so she had no time to think about anything else. After Cheng Jiuyuan said this, she realized that Zhou really seemed to have aged several years.

Could it be that Zhou cares so much about her daughter?

"Aunt, didn't you use the skin cream I gave you?"

Upon hearing Cheng Yunge's question, Zhou hurried to the dressing mirror in the room.

The smooth skin that she was so proud of was now covered with fine lines that could not be concealed even by makeup, and the lines at the corners of her eyes were even more obvious.

There are also some faint white hairs on the temples.

She didn't notice it at first glance, but a closer look made her heart tremble.

"W-what's going on!"

She is only thirty-five this year, and because she takes good care of herself, she usually looks no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

At this moment, the person in the mirror looked a few years older than her actual age.

How could this be?

She was in a panic. She relied on her two children and her beauty. Now her son was unreliable and her daughter had a strange disease. Her beauty...

Seeing her panic-stricken face, Cheng Jiuyuan curled up the corners of his mouth.

This is just the beginning.

Her poison is more effective than "Epiphyllum Beauty". Not only can it rapidly age a person's appearance, it can also accelerate the failure of one's internal organs.

One day seemed like a month.

Within half a year, Zhou had become a real old woman.

"How could this be? How could this happen?" Zhou looked at the mirror in disbelief.

She looked at Cheng Yunge and said, "Take your medicine carefully. I will go back to Qiushui Garden first."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Cheng Jiuyuan felt very good when she saw the miserable state of the mother and daughter.

"Sister, have a good rest. I'll go back first."

Ignoring Cheng Yunge who had a gloomy face behind her, she took the maid out of the room.

There are two ready-made drug testers here, so she can try all the poisons whose effects she doesn't know, which is called making the best use of things.
