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

Cheng Changchuan was wrapped like a mummy and has been in a coma ever since.

Zhou fell down on the bed and cried until she was hoarse.

Cheng Zongyang looked at her half-gray hair and face full of fine lines, then looked at Cheng Changchuan, who was lying on the bed with not a single part of his body intact, and he felt disgusted.

This son is completely ruined.

"Prime Minister." The imperial physician put away the things and bowed to him.

Cheng Zongyang asked in a deep voice: "What will happen to this child in the future..."

The imperial physician sighed and said, "Your son's injuries are too severe. Although I have scar-removing medicine, I'm afraid it will be useless for such severe burns."

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "I know the truth."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Cheng Zongyang nodded.

After the doctor left, Zhou, who heard that her son was completely disfigured, pulled Cheng Zongyang's sleeve and said, "Master! Chuan'er is our only son. You must avenge him!"

Cheng Zongyang frowned: "Revenge? This incident was an accident, what are you seeking revenge for?"

He felt in his heart that if this matter was man-made, it was probably related to the Lin family.

Cheng Changchuan is Zhou's only son, but not his only one.

Lin is pregnant now and cannot be involved in this matter.

When Zhou heard this, she cried even harder.

"Master, someone must have harmed Chuan'er! When he was awake, he went after Cheng Jiuyuan. It must be Cheng Jiuyuan who harmed our son!"

Both Lin and Cheng Jiuyuan are more useful than Cheng Changchuan, who has become a disabled person.

"Okay, I will investigate this matter. You take good care of him." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, pushed Zhou away and walked towards the study.

"Let Cheng Jiuyuan come to the study."

Cheng Jiuyuan had expected this and looked calm when she arrived at the study.

"Dad, is my brother okay?"

Cheng Zongyang looked straight at Cheng Jiuyuan with his eagle-like eyes. Cheng Jiuyuan opened her big innocent eyes and did not avoid him at all.

After a long while, Cheng Zongyang asked, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"Dad, this is a strange question. Why would you doubt your daughter? If you do doubt me, I suggest you report it to the police and let the Ministry of Justice investigate!"

Seeing how fearless she was, Cheng Zongyang became a little unsure.

"Why report to an official? I am an official by nature." It was ridiculous that the son was burned into charcoal at the daughter's coming-of-age ceremony.

"Since it has nothing to do with you, why does your eldest brother hate you so much?"

Cheng Jiuyuan spread her hands and said, "My daughter doesn't know either. I guess my elder brother misunderstood me."

At this time, the leader of the prime minister's guards hurried in.

"Master Prime Minister."

"Checked it out?"

"The suspect has been arrested by our subordinates, but he did not reveal the person behind the fire after being tortured. Our subordinates carefully investigated the fire site and deduced that someone poured tung oil on the wooden ladder on the east side while on patrol last night and left a fire under the ladder. If someone stepped on the ladder, they would fall and ignite the tung oil."

Cheng Jiuyuan covered her lips when she heard that.

"The wooden stairs to the east? Only I would take that!"

Cheng Zongyang was also surprised: "Only the wooden ladder on the east side has tung oil?"

"Yes!"

"Dad, the person behind this is targeting me, but I was lucky and didn't fall. My brother was affected. Dad, you must catch the mastermind!"

Cheng Zongyang had a cold face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this time, Pei Xiu and Pei Xuan came in from outside the door, and they bowed to Cheng Zongyang.

"We went to the wooden platform again just now. We came here for Yuan'er. The Prime Minister must catch the person behind this!"

"Someone wants to harm my daughter, so I will never let him go!"

He initially suspected Lin, but since Cheng Changchuan had clearly hated Cheng Jiuyuan before, he started to suspect Cheng Jiuyuan.

Now the investigation results show that someone wants to harm Cheng Jiuyuan.

Lin had no motive to harm Cheng Jiuyuan.

He also didn't want the family's disgrace to be made public, so he couldn't report it to the authorities.

At this moment, the housekeeper hurried in from outside.

"Master, Lord Chi Zhang, who is beside His Highness the Fifth Prince, brought two people with him. He said that they have some means of investigating cases, and they can make people talk and guarantee that they will keep their mouths shut."

Cheng Zongyang frowned, and finally said helplessly: "Let them try."

"Yes."

Cheng Zongyang looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "There is nothing for you to do here. Let's go back to the yard first."

"How come Yuan'er has nothing to do with this? This man wants to harm her!"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Cheng Zongyang with trust on her face: "I believe that father will not let go of those who want to harm me, then Yuan'er will go back to the yard first."

Seeing how considerate she was, Cheng Zongyang felt satisfied.

Of course he won't let the person behind it go.

Putting aside other things, this daughter is of great use now, and the person behind the scenes is playing tricks on him in his mansion and doesn't take him seriously at all.

Pei Xiu also said: "Then let's go back to the room and wait for the result."

Several people left the study together.

Pei Xiu said unhappily, "What is Cheng Zongyang thinking about? If someone wants to harm my children, I will find that person and kill him at all costs."

"Uncle, why are you angry? Cheng Changchuan can't get away this time. The result is out. Even if my father won't kill him this time, he won't let Cheng Changchuan off easily in order to give me an explanation."

After all, in Cheng Zongyang's eyes, she is much more useful than Cheng Changchuan.

She couldn't push him too hard, after all, Cheng Zongyang was helping Chu Heng in the court.

There is no family affection between her and Cheng Zongyang, only mutual benefit.

……

Cheng Zongyang couldn't sit still and went outside the woodshed.

There were screams coming from inside, which made people shudder, but Cheng Zongyang looked calm.

After an unknown amount of time, the screams in the house suddenly stopped.

After waiting for a while, the door finally opened.

"Have you confessed?"

Chi Zhang said, "Now that his mouth is pried open, go ask it yourself, my Lord."

Cheng Zongyang stepped in and a strong smell of blood hit his nose.

A bloody man was tied to a chair with his head drooping.

"Is this still alive?"

"Don't worry, my men are important and you can just ask them questions, sir."

After staying in the woodshed for nearly two quarters of an hour, Cheng Zongyang came out with a gloomy face.

"Thank you for your help this time, Your Highness."

"You are too polite, Prime Minister. Second Miss Cheng is the future consort of the Fifth Prince. Besides, this incident was originally aimed at Second Miss Cheng. Since there is nothing else to do here, we will take our leave."

Cheng Zongyang nodded.

He instructed worriedly: "Sir, tell the public that it was a servant who knocked over the oil lamp last night while on patrol. It was snowing today, and charcoal was lit in the yard, which led to the accident. However, I will seek justice for Yuan'er."

"This is the Prime Minister's family affair, we won't interfere."

"Thank you very much."

After seeing off Chi Zhang and others, Cheng Zongyang's eyes were cold.

He looked towards the woodshed and said, "Deal with this man."

After saying that, he strode away.
