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

Zhou woke up slowly, and the maid hurried forward to help her sit up.

Zhou's mind regained clarity, and without hesitation she raised her hand and slapped Cheng Yunge, who was standing by the bed.

"Snapped!"

Cheng Yunge covered his face and looked at Zhou in shock.

"Mom, you hit me?!"

She was transported to Cheng Yunge's body when Cheng Jiuyuan was born, and it has been exactly seven years now.

In these seven years, Zhou never hit her.

Although she did not regard Zhou as her biological mother, she gradually began to treat her as a relative.

"Shouldn't you be beaten? I had the driver beaten to death, and you saved him! It was you! It was you who killed your uncle!"

Cheng Yunge's face turned pale and he was unable to make any excuses.

This time she was indeed too soft-hearted.

This world really is a life-and-death struggle.

But she was a little unconvinced, "Before anything went wrong, you wouldn't necessarily praise me. Now that something has happened, you only know how to blame me! In the future, if something like this happens, don't look for me, go look for your son!"

"Your eldest brother is a man of great ambitions. How can he be trapped by these dirty things in the backyard?"

Such biased remarks made Cheng Yunge even more dissatisfied.

"Mom, you are too biased. If my elder brother can do it, I can do it too! Women are no worse than men!"

Zhou poked her head and said, "Have you become stupid from studying? You can do it. You take the imperial examination? You continue the Cheng family's bloodline? You take care of your parents until they die?"

"Why not? I'll do it, and I won't be worse than Big Brother..."

How can that loser Cheng Changchuan compare to her?

Cheng Changchuan's poems all came from what she...learned.

Zhou listened and found it ridiculous.

She knew that her daughter had always had her own ideas, but she never expected that she would have such a rebellious idea.

"Shut up!" Zhou stopped Cheng Yunge from speaking. "If someone else heard you saying this, they would think you're crazy."

Cheng Yunge sighed in his heart. This was why he, as the prime minister's daughter, was still so eager to complete the task.

There is absolutely no freedom.

She could only admit her mistake and said, "Mom, I was wrong. I won't do it again!"

Then she changed the subject and said, "Mom, we suffered a great loss this time. I didn't expect something like this to happen. We underestimated the Pei family."

Zhou's eyes were cold and she said, "Yes, I really underestimated them. They set up this trap and forced your father to report to the police. They also found the driver so quickly and found evidence in your uncle's yard. They did so much in such a short time, which means they knew the truth about Pei Yunqing's death a long time ago and were waiting for this moment!"

Thinking of something, she immediately stood up and told the maid: "Go get me five thousand taels of silver notes, and help me change my clothes."

Cheng Yunge asked, "Mom, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to help you clean up the mess! Something happened to your uncle, and I have to go to the Zhou family."

Thinking of her difficult sister-in-law and three nephews, Zhou felt a headache.

She ordered the maid again: "Go and get another five thousand taels."

Zhou had a headache, and Cheng Yunge also had a headache.

Cheng Jiuyuan is about to leave Beijing, and no one knows when she will come back. When will she be able to complete the mission?

……

The evidence was conclusive in the case of Zhou Jingxian's murder of the prime minister's wife, and the verdict was handed down the next day, with immediate execution.

When Zhou heard this, she cried and fainted again.

The story of the Prime Minister's wife appearing in spirit after the coffin was lifted three times and remained motionless spread throughout the city through the mouth of a storyteller.

The previous rumor that the prime minister's wife was killed by her daughter has also dispelled.

This was obviously a fight for favor in the backyard, and the concubine's brother tried to murder the prime minister's wife and the eldest daughter.

The prime minister's wife fought desperately to protect her daughter, and the eldest daughter was lucky enough to survive.

The prime minister's concubine is a cruel and ruthless person, but there is no evidence. Everyone knows it, but dares not say it out loud.

Cheng Zongyang was specially summoned to the palace, and the emperor asked him meaningfully to take care of the backyard.

Once a prime minister becomes a topic of conversation among the people, it undermines the dignity of the court.

Cheng Zongyang returned home with a gloomy face and went straight to Zhou's Qiu Shui Garden.

It is said that Cheng Zongyang was very angry and Zhou was deprived of her housekeeper rights and was put under house arrest.

Upon hearing the news, Cheng Jiuyuan was changing clothes in her room, preparing to keep vigil at night.

"Second Miss, your aunt loves you the most. Please go and ask the master for mercy." Chun Xing cautiously tested her.

I don’t know what happened to the second girl these days. She has become scary.

"Go back outside and kneel down. Don't get up without my order." Cheng Jiuyuan said calmly.

Chun Xing immediately knelt down and said, "Second Miss, what did I do wrong? It's freezing cold now, it will cost me my life! Please have mercy on me, Second Miss!"

After saying this, he kowtowed loudly.

"Go kneel down and think about where you went wrong."

Chun Xing was still trying to plead for mercy, but Cheng Jiuyuan looked at her indifferently: "Why? My words are not as effective as Qiu Shuiyuan's?"

"The slaves dare not!"

Chun Xing gritted her teeth and stood up. She went out and asked someone to find the eldest girl. Then she knelt outside Feiyuan Pavilion with an indignant look on her face.

Cheng Jiuyuan changed her clothes and lowered her head in thought.

As a father, he is keen on power and not very interested in beauty.

Now that my mother is gone, only Aunt Zhou is left in the backyard.

Aunt Zhou's reputation is not very good nowadays, and someone has to take care of the backyard.

Although Cheng Zongyang is over 30 years old, his appearance is very deceptive, and he holds a high position.

If Zhou Jingxian's affair in the previous life had not been brought to light, Aunt Zhou would have been smoothly promoted to the position of legitimate wife.

In this life, no one knows who will be the Prime Minister’s wife in the end.

When Cheng Jiuyuan tidied herself up and walked out of the room, she saw Chun Xing kneeling in the snow and shivering. After such a short while, her lips had turned blue.

At this moment, Cheng Yunge came over with her maidservants.

Chun Xing's face lit up with joy, and she kowtowed to Cheng Yunge and begged for help: "Miss, please save me."

"Second sister, what are you doing? It's so cold, and you're making people kneel in the snow. This is so inhumane."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips and walked out, the snow crunching under her feet.

She stopped half a foot away from Cheng Yunge and looked up at her.

"Inhumane? Sister, this is my slave. Everything she wears, uses and eats comes from me. Her life is better than many young ladies from small families. She doesn't have to do farm work every day, and she doesn't have to worry about being taken away by her parents for marriage. I'm just too good to her, so much so that she forgets her own identity!"

The little girl in the snow was wearing mourning clothes, with a circle of beaver fur around her collar making her face look even smaller and more crystal clear. She was holding a hand warmer, as if she was one with the snow, like an elf born between heaven and earth.

Cheng Yunge frowned slightly. It was indeed the heroine. She looked like this at such a young age. This girl didn't have such aura in the past. Now, her eyes seemed to have unveiled a veil and injected the soul.

"Sister, all people are born equal. They are also raised by their parents. Their parents must be heartbroken to know that their children are being treated like this."

The servants around looked at Cheng Yunge with moved faces.

The girl is really kind-hearted.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at her and made the same remarks again.

In her previous life, she only thought that this sister was kind, but now she seemed hypocritical no matter how she looked at her.

In her previous life, when she complained to me about a servant who made her unhappy, I would punish that servant. She would just turn around and take medicine to visit him.

As time went by, everyone said that the second daughter of the Xiangfu was arrogant and domineering, and would punish the servants when she was not satisfied. But the eldest daughter was kind-hearted, gentle and generous.

"Sister, any one of the ornaments in your room is enough for an ordinary person to live out his or her life. You are wearing brocade, eating delicacies from land and sea every day, and enjoying the service of servants. How can you have the nerve to say that everyone is born equal?"

Cheng Yunge blushed, unable to explain herself to this feudal remnant.

"Anyway, you can't punish people like this. If you keep kneeling, Chun Xing's legs will be broken."

"Sister, are you going to stand up for my servant? That's perfect. I'm going to Gusu anyway, so I'll give this servant to you. It will just satisfy this girl's wish. She keeps telling me how good my aunt and sister are."

Cheng Yunge waved his hands repeatedly. Chun Xing was a chess piece that his mother left by Cheng Jiuyuan's side.

"No, I don't need it. If you don't want to listen to my advice, forget it."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

"Big girl! Big girl!" Chun Xing shouted at Cheng Yunge's back.

Cheng Jiuyuan snorted coldly.

"Second Miss, please forgive me this time!"

Cheng Jiuyuan walked straight away from Chun Xing.
