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

Although there was blood and gore outside, the small world of Feiyuan Pavilion was peaceful and calm.

Cheng Jiuyuan practiced calligraphy, played the piano, and tested poison on Zhou's mother and daughter every day. He led a leisurely and comfortable life.

Time passes day by day, morning and night turn around, and in a blink of an eye, there are only three days left until the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Girl, it's getting cold. You need to put on a thicker cloak when you go out."

Mu Jin tied the white fox cloak for her before she and Song Lan followed her out the door.

Cheng Jiuyuan brought two maids to the outside of Pei's mansion on the outskirts of the city and heard a lot of hustle and bustle inside.

"Greetings to my cousin."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and nodded.

"Yuan'er, you're here."

In the yard, servants were moving things back and forth, making a lot of noise. Pei Yan was giving orders.

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan coming in, several people surrounded him.

The sun shone through the layers of leaves and fell on Pei Xuan's warm face, "Is everything okay, cousin?"

"Yuan'er is doing fine. How are grandparents and aunt?"

"They are all fine, they just miss you very much."

Pei Yan also stepped forward and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. My cousin has become more beautiful again, like a fairy."

"My second cousin has grown a lot taller, almost catching up with my eldest cousin."

"That's right, I will definitely be able to surpass big brother in the future!"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Pei Jin who was only looking at her and smiled, "Third cousin, you have become estranged from Yuan'er after only a few months of not seeing each other?"

Pei Jin showed a shy smile on her face: "No, when I saw you, I knew you were doing well, and I felt relieved."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and turned to walk into the house, "Wait a minute, Master asked me to bring you something."

"It's cold and messy here. You guys go in and chat. Don't block the servants from moving things." Pei Xiu waved his hand to drive away the juniors.

A charcoal fire had already been lit in the house and snacks had been prepared.

Several people sat down and talked about what happened after they separated.

"Will my cousin return to Gusu after coming to the capital this time?"

"I won't go back yet. I'll make plans after the Spring Examination next year."

"I'm not going back either. Dad has taken over such a big business, I have to stay and help him." Pei Yan said hurriedly.

At this time, Pei Jin came in holding a box and handed it to Cheng Jiuyuan: "Master gave it to you."

Cheng Jiuyuan took it and opened it. A beautiful white jade hibiscus hairpin lay quietly inside. The carved patterns were lifelike, and the stamens seemed to be able to drip water.

Cheng Jiuyuan reached out to touch the stamen of the hibiscus, but was stopped by Pei Jin: "Be careful."

"There is a lot of secrets in this hairpin. There is a poison hidden at the top of each stamen. This is what Master gave you for self-defense. Press this bump once, and the stamen at the top will open. Press it twice, and the stamen next to it will open, and so on."

Cheng Jiuyuan picked up the note from the box. There were only three words on it: Birthday gift.

Cheng Jiuyuan was deeply moved.

She looked at Pei Jin: "Is the third cousin going back to Gusu for the New Year?"

"Yes, if we and father stay here, our home will be too lonely."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded. She knew that although her third cousin was a man of few words, he was very thoughtful.

"Cousin, how did you manage to take over the prince's property this time?" Pei Yan was quite curious about this matter.

Taking over so many profitable industries has made the Pei family so successful overnight.

"Nothing, all the information was given by the Fifth Prince."

Hearing this, Pei Xuan asked: "You and the Fifth Prince..."

They never expected that their cousin would be granted marriage as soon as she returned to Beijing.

What was even more unexpected was that it was not the crown prince, nor the third prince, but the fifth prince.

"Yes, cousin, what's going on? Why is it the fifth prince?"

In their hearts, their cousin deserves the best man in the world.

I heard that the fifth prince is a man who is not loved by his father and mother, has no power or influence, and has not achieved much. How can he be their cousin-in-law?

"In fact, the Fifth Prince is quite good. You will understand when you meet him later."

Pei Xuan also knew that the imperial decree granting the marriage had already been issued and could not be changed, so he could only accept it.

He will serve as an official in the future and help this cousin-in-law.

The Pei family was extremely protective of their own shortcomings. Seeing that her cousin did not resist, Pei Jin said, "There is nothing wrong with the Fifth Prince. Staying away from disputes will make it easier for my cousin."

Pei Yan also said: "Yes, if his family is poor, I will earn more money in the future, and you don't have to worry about money."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, then we will have to rely on our cousins ​​from now on."

Even if Chu Heng is not favored, he is still a prince and he should have no problem supporting his family.

A few people chatted and laughed in the house for a while, and then Pei Xiu entered the house.

"Little bastards, today I will take you to the most famous restaurant in the capital to taste something new."

It was almost noon when a carriage stopped in front of a grand restaurant.

"Qu, Sheng, Lou." Pei Jin looked up at the plaque and read it out slowly.

"This Qusheng Building has three unique features."

Pei Yan asked: "Which three unique skills?"

"You'll find out once you go in and take a look."

A few people went to a private room on the second floor and looked down from the window. They could see someone singing on the stage downstairs.

Pei Xiu ordered a large table of dishes, each of which was delicious and tasty.

"The three best dishes are this dish and the music. What's the other best?" Pei Xuan asked.

"When you entered, did you notice anything different about this restaurant?"

Pei Jin glanced downstairs and said, "There are more women dining here than anywhere else."

"Oh, by the way. I heard that this Qusheng Restaurant has invited a young actor to perform opera, who looks like a fairy from heaven. The food here is amazing, and other things are unmatched by other restaurants. Eat the food, the food is really delicious."

Halfway through the meal, Cheng Jiuyuan heard cheers coming from downstairs and looked down.

“This is another unique feature.”

The person on the stage was tall and slender, with heavy makeup on her face, so her true appearance could not be seen clearly, but she had a graceful figure and excellent singing skills.

Cheng Jiuyuan was about to look away when she saw the window of the room opposite slowly open, and it turned out that there was a familiar face in the room opposite.

Cheng Changchuan was staring at the young man singing on the stage below. His eyes...

This was a welcoming banquet for her three cousins. Cheng Jiuyuan didn't want to cause trouble, so she withdrew her gaze.

Cheng Changchuan on the opposite side raised his glass and suddenly his eyes widened.

Pei Xiu!

The other three were probably Pei Xiu's sons, and they looked very much like him.

He slammed his glass down on the table and clenched his fist.

If it weren't for those rumors, he wouldn't have ended up like this!

Seeing that his uncle and three cousins ​​had no interest in listening to music, Cheng Jiuyuan suggested, "It's too noisy. Why don't we close the window?"

"Yes, he sang so well that it sounded like he was about to die. If the food wasn't really delicious, I would definitely not come again next time." Pei Yan said.

Mu Jin went forward and closed the window, blocking out some of the noise outside.

After dinner, Pei Xiu took the children downstairs and went home.

Cheng Jiuyuan turned around suddenly and met the vicious eyes of Cheng Changchuan on the second floor.

Cheng Jiuyuan frowned. It was Cheng Yunge's design that put Cheng Changchuan into this state.

Why did he look at her and the Pei family with such hatred?

"Cousin, what's wrong?" Pei Xuan turned around, but saw nothing.

"Nothing." Cheng Jiuyuan withdrew his gaze, but immediately became cautious.

In the private room, Cheng Changchuan lost interest in listening to the music. He closed the window, sat at the table with a gloomy face, and drank one glass after another.

The girl who poured wine for him advised cautiously: "Sir, drink less..."

A look from Cheng Changchuan made the girl dare not say anything more.

The eldest son of the Pei family was dressed spotlessly in white, the second son was full of vigor and vitality, and the youngest son was handsome and steady. The group of them attracted the attention of the young ladies.

He was once a young man from a famous family who was praised by everyone, and some people also said that he had a bright future.

What now?

All this is thanks to the Pei family!

He's going to destroy these people!

He smashed the wine glass on the ground with a loud noise, which frightened the girl so much that she trembled.

As soon as Cheng Jiuyuan returned home, he asked Mu Jin to take the silver to Wuyingtang and asked them to investigate Cheng Changchuan carefully and have someone keep an eye on him.

She used to think that Cheng Changchuan was already ruined and would not be a problem for her.

She focused all her attention on Cheng Yunge and her daughter and Chu Ze, but meeting Cheng Changchuan today made her wary.

She was not afraid that Cheng Changchuan would come after her, but she was afraid that he would have evil intentions towards her three cousins.

My cousin is about to take the imperial examination, so nothing can go wrong.

My second cousin is smart, but his kung fu is terrible.

My third cousin is good at martial arts and poison, but he is too straightforward.

Thinking of this, she took out the pile of tokens and looked through them.

He smiled slightly when he saw the sign of 'Jiu Tian Jian Sect'.

She felt more at ease knowing that the people from Jiutian Sword Sect were protecting her three cousins ​​and uncle.
