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

The accident happened at this moment.

There was a loud bang, followed by bursts of screams.

"what!!"

"Fire!"

"Hurry up and save the young master!"

"Ahhhh!! Dad, save me!" Cheng Changchuan rolled on the ground, wailing heart-wrenchingly.

The guests were also horrified and moved away from the platform.

Cheng Zongyang yelled: "Quick! Bring water to put out the fire!"

Although this son is not very capable, he is his only son at present.

The fire was so strong and strange that even a bucket of water could not put it out. Instead, the flames grew higher.

"Throw it into the pond!"

A servant who was skilled in martial arts came forward, picked up Cheng Changchuan with a stick and threw him into the pond.

The fire was finally put out and the servant quickly pulled the person out.

The pond is frozen in this winter, you can imagine how cold the water is.

Cheng Changchuan lay on the ground wailing in pain, shivering and twitching from the cold.

"Ah! It hurts! So... cold..."

Cheng Jiuyuan seemed to be frightened as well. She hid behind the crowd, holding her handkerchief with a look of panic on her face, her long eyelashes hiding the coldness in her eyes.

A servant quickly found a thick quilt to cover Cheng Changchuan, but did not dare to touch him casually.

"Why did the fire start out of nowhere?" Cheng Zongyang shouted angrily.

"Go and get the imperial physician!" Lin pretended to be concerned and instructed the housekeeper, but in fact she was surprised and happy.

"Son! My Chuan'er, what happened to you?" Zhou, who rushed over after hearing the news, rushed forward and wailed.

Cheng Changchuan's clothes were burnt into rags, his face and body turned charcoal-colored. He rolled on the ground and wailed, and the quilt he was covering himself with rolled to the side.

"Son, who hurt you?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang frowned deeply.

He has always been very concerned about his reputation, and in front of so many guests, he would rather pretend that it was an accident.

If we were to ask who in this mansion is most likely to harm Cheng Changchuan, then...

His eyes swept across Lin and happened to catch a smile on the corner of Lin's mouth.

Whether it was because Lin was pregnant with his child or for the sake of his face, he could not let Zhou talk nonsense.

Cheng Zongyang looked at Zhou who was crying and threatened in a low voice: "What do you mean it was caused by someone? This was just an accident!"

Cheng Jiuyuan almost laughed out loud.

When her mother died under the horse's hooves, there were obviously many suspicious points, but he also said it was an "accident".

It's the same this time.

Only this time, she was happy to see this 'accident'.

This happened in the mansion, Cheng Zongyang bowed to the guests and said: "Everyone, I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to the mansion at this time. I will apologize to you next time for the poor hospitality."

"Then we'll take our leave first."

"Farewell!"

The guests left one after another, and no one expected that Cheng Changchuan on the ground would suddenly attack.

"Bitch, go to hell!"

Cheng Changchuan suddenly shouted and rushed towards Cheng Jiuyuan, who pushed Zhu Jin away and was about to attack.

A white figure stood in front of Cheng Jiuyuan and kicked the "Black Charcoal" who was rushing towards him away.

"Bang!" Cheng Changchuan hit the table heavily and became silent instantly.

Chu Heng let down the hem of his robe, his face still as gentle as jade.

"Son!" Zhou screamed and rushed over.

The court doctor came forward to check: "He just fainted, quickly carry him back to his room!"

The servants were afraid of touching Cheng Changchuan's wounds, so they hurriedly carried Cheng Changchuan back to his room with a quilt. Zhou didn't care about anything else and hurriedly followed.

Cheng Yunge was angry. It was all Cheng Changchuan's fault. Why was he causing trouble? Now that the guests had left, Cheng Jiuyuan hadn't made a fool of herself.

She snorted and took the girl back to her yard.

The place was suddenly vacant, and Pei Xiu hurried forward: "Yuan'er, are you okay?"

"It's okay, thanks to the Fifth Prince." Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head.

Pei Xuan and his brothers looked at their future cousin-in-law.

They saw clearly just now that the Fifth Prince was several feet away from their cousin and could stand in front of their cousin in an instant. This man was definitely a hidden talent.

Cheng Zongyang bowed to Chu Heng and Chu Wan and said, "Fifth Prince, Princess Yongle, something happened in your mansion today. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Chu Heng was sympathetic and said, "Prime Minister, don't worry about us. Your son's injury is the most important thing. We have Miss Cheng to accompany us."

"Well, Yuan'er, entertain the two princes."

"Yes."

After Cheng Zongyang and Lin left, Pei Xiu looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "Why did Cheng Changchuan come after you?"

Mrs. Zhu shouted from a distance: "Jin'er, it's time to go back."

Zhu Jin also wanted to know the whole story, but Mrs. Zhu felt that this was someone else's family affair and family disgrace should not be made public, so they should be more tactful.

Zhu Jin pouted and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "Then I'll go back."

"Ah."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Madam Zhu and said, "Thank you very much today, Madam."

"You can call me aunt. Come to my house when you are free. We will go back today."

"Okay, have a safe journey, aunt."

Chu Heng looked at Chu Wan and said, "You should go back to the palace first."

Chu Wan wanted to roll her eyes. This was just a way of using her and then throwing her away. She also wanted to hear what was going on.

"Do you still want that jade chess set?"

"Okay." Chu Wan compromised.

Chu Wan looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "Then I will go back first."

"Farewell to the princess."

After seeing off Chu Wan and others, Cheng Jiuyuan took the Pei father and son and Chu Heng back to Feiyuan Pavilion.

"You can tell me now." Pei Xiu looked at Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Early this morning, I received news that Cheng Changchuan had people sprinkle tung oil on the steps on the east side of the platform and buried a fire starter underneath."

Everyone present knew that Cheng Jiuyuan was a martial arts master, and this little trick was not enough.

"Evil will be punished!" Pei Yan gritted his teeth.

Pei Xiu frowned: "When Cheng Changchuan wakes up, there will be more to talk about. We will stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion today."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded: "I'll let the girl take you back to the guest room, you go and rest first."

Pei Xiu looked at Chu Heng with satisfaction on his face.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave now."

Chu Heng nodded slightly.

After the four Pei family members left, Cheng Jiuyuan poured a cup of tea for Chu Heng.

"Your Highness, are you not returning to the palace yet?"

Chu Heng shouted outside: "Chi Zhang."

The door was pushed open, and then the maids from the prime minister's mansion came in one after another, placed the things in their hands on the table, and left one after another.

The table was instantly filled to the brim.

Cheng Jiuyuan stepped forward curiously, "What is this?"

"Your birthday gift."

"so much?"

"Fifteen years old, fifteen items, one gift for each year."

"This... your servant..."

Chu Heng stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I will go back first. If you have anything to do, you can come to the palace to find me. I have someone in the Ministry of Justice who can help the Prime Minister investigate the case."

After saying that, without waiting for Cheng Jiuyuan to speak, he strode out of the room.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the pile of birthday gifts and then looked at the door.

At this time, Mu Jin brought in a few maids.

"Girl, this is the coming-of-age gift given to you by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince." After saying that, she opened the boxes one by one.

"Huh? Why are the strings of this zither broken?" Song Lan looked at one of the coming-of-age gifts curiously.

Just at this moment, Shan Lan hurried in with a zither in his hand.

"Second Miss Cheng, this is a gift from my prince."

"Your Highness has already sent a bunch." Cheng Jiuyuan pointed to the table.

"His Highness said that was a birthday gift, and this is a coming-of-age ceremony." Shan Lan glanced guiltily at the broken-stringed harp in the maid's hands and explained.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for me."

"As long as the girl likes it." It was worth their long journey to find these treasures.

After Shanlan left, Mujin and the others opened the birthday gifts on the table one by one, and they exclaimed in surprise every time they opened one.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the fifteen birthday gifts and was a little surprised.

Cheng Jiuyuan picked up one of the bracelets, which was made of crystal clear aquamarine and pearls strung together, and embellished with shells and conchs.

"Tidal chain?"

There were conch beads in the blue sea. She put the bracelet close to her ear and seemed to be able to hear the singing of the tide.

There is also the Dragon Roar Flute, the jade flute is transparent, and the dragon is coiled around the flute body, which is lifelike and detailed.

Each one is a rare treasure in the world.

Cheng Jiuyuan sighed that Chu Heng’s family background was really rich.

"Your Highness is so kind to the girl!" Song Lan said happily.

There was a rumor before that the Fifth Prince knelt for a day and a night in order to get the Emperor to revoke the marriage grant. She was unhappy about this rumor for a long time.

Now it seems that the Fifth Prince clearly values ​​their girl very much.

Cheng Jiuyuan frowned in thought.

Such an expensive gift made her feel very burdened.

Don't they each get what they need?

Is Chu Heng always so generous to his allies?
