Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 446: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 2

But it just so happened that she was the original owner when she traveled through time, and the heroine who was bent on stealing her husband, sleeping in her bed, killing her child and seizing her property. No matter how much she admired the heroine, the relationship between them could only be antagonistic, and they could not be friends.

It's just that the original owner's mother and the original owner are cannon fodder. One gave money to the Marquis' Mansion and became a stepping stone to the Marquis' Mansion; the other gave her identity to the heroine and became a stepping stone to the heroine! It's just that I don't know why the original owner's maternal grandparents never showed up, otherwise they wouldn't be so miserable!

"Xiaojiu, what was the original owner's wish?"

"Her wish is to protect herself and her future children and make her life as easy as possible. She also wants to protect the money her mother left her and not have any expectations of her father and his family."

"No more?" Ye Xiaoxiao was surprised. Was it such a simple wish? Wasn't there anything like that? Didn't she think about revenge for her mother? Or did she think about revenge for her scumbag father, her sister, and the fifth prince?

"That's it! She is a daughter of a harem, and she knows that she lacks the ability to fight them, so she can only try her best to keep what she has! She is a typical ancient woman, and she has been taught since childhood to obey her father at home, obey her husband after marriage, and obey her son after her husband's death!

Even though her family harmed her, at least they gave her this identity, and allowed her to live a better life in her husband's family. So even if she hated her family, she couldn't bring herself to kill them. "Xiao Jiu conveyed the original owner's thoughts to her.

"Tsk, is her family her support or her life-threatening knife? Wasn't it because she died at the hands of her family in her previous life that she lost everything? She is too naive.

Don’t you know that her father and sisters only care about benefits? It’s better to have no family like this! But she is quite self-aware that she can’t beat others! "Cui Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but complain to the system Xiaojiu.

Fortunately, the original owner did not necessarily ask her to be the queen mother or to be together forever! She did not have any expectations of men, which was something Ye Xiaoxiao appreciated.

"By the way, didn't the original owner participate in the talent show before? As far as I remember, she didn't lose! Why did the Marquis send her to the Fifth Prince's mansion to be a concubine?" She had to figure this out!

This was also a question she couldn't figure out. The original owner was a daughter of a marquis. Are daughters of a marquis so worthless? If the emperor granted a marriage, it would be impossible for a daughter of a marquis to be married off as a concubine, unless there was something wrong with this daughter!

"Her father is far from the emperor's heart and is not well-informed. He thought that this selection was to enrich the emperor's harem! He thought that if the legitimate daughter really entered the palace, the emperor would be old and the princes would have grown up, so his legitimate daughter would be useless!

So he lined up early and placed his bet on the fifth prince. In fact, he had thought wrong from the beginning. The main purpose of this selection was to enrich the princes' harem!" Xiao Jiu also studied it carefully, so he knew it more clearly.

"The original owner was not taken seriously at home, but was treated coldly. What does it matter whether she was abolished or not? If he really cared about the original owner so much, how could she be just a concubine of the prince? He is really a double-crosser, not wanting to give anything but wanting to get the biggest benefits. Or has he already made up his mind and just wanted to take advantage of the original owner's status as a legitimate daughter and replace her with a concubine's eldest daughter?" This made her doubt. Without his support, how could her concubine sister have been able to get things so smoothly?

"No, you entered the Fifth Prince's Mansion only to show your loyalty to him, which means he has already lined up! It was because the original owner was pregnant that they had bigger ambitions and came up with this replacement plan!

After all, it is well known that the original owner is plain-looking, cowardly and incompetent, and is far inferior to the eldest daughter in all aspects. Sooner or later, she will not be able to protect this child! For the honor of the family, everything they pay is worth it. What's more, it's just sacrificing a daughter who is not valued much, which is harmless!"

Ye Xiaoxiao was silent after hearing this. This was ancient times! In an era when imperial power was supreme, human life was the least valuable. It was also an era when parents could decide the life and death of their children, and masters could decide the life and death of their servants, and all of this was not against the law!

She dug out some rules of this era from the original owner's memories and plot.

The idea of running away was extinguished instantly, because there was no way to escape. After all, your identity was required to go out, and everyone would pay respect to the clothes first and then the people. If you wanted to go far away, you needed a pass and a legitimate reason. As a commoner, you couldn't wear silk and satin, you couldn't use expensive jewelry, let alone eat and drink!

At least the identity of the legitimate daughter of a marquis's mansion seems pretty good to outsiders.

But now that she was neither high nor low, it was impossible for her not to get married. If she were to choose a husband, they would have to share a cucumber. In this era, even ordinary people with a little money would have concubines!

Whether a man takes concubines or how many concubines he takes is a matter of face. Therefore, there are almost no clean men among the rich and powerful.

Moreover, she had no say in her marriage. Either the emperor granted her a marriage after the selection, or, like in her previous life, her father gave her to a rich family as a concubine to pave the way for himself.

In this case, it would be better for His Majesty to grant me marriage! With the title of a legitimate daughter of a marquisate, whether as a wife or a concubine, it would at least be much better than being a concubine of a prince in my previous life!

Just see if you can work it out in the talent show, and try to pick a better one for yourself. If you are really unlucky and the person is not that good, the worst that can happen is that you will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, and lose your husband after giving birth to a child!

But if she wants to live well in this era, she must first be familiar with the rules of this era, otherwise she may lose her life if she is not careful!

She should be thankful that she was not a maidservant in the palace. Even if she was not valued, she was still the daughter of a marquis. A higher status would crush anyone. Didn't she see that Xue Ningning was so favored at home, but she still couldn't participate in the selection?

Fortunately, the original owner’s wishes are not difficult to achieve!

She had to quickly familiarize herself with all of Cui Xiaoxiao's living habits! Fortunately, not many people at home paid attention to her, so she still had time to understand this era more deeply.

Ye Xiaoxiao thought about a lot of things and took a deep breath. Okay! From now on, she is Cui Xiaoxiao.

She is not yet sixteen years old, and the selection will begin in two months! This selection is for the legitimate daughters of officials above the fifth rank, between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, unless they are exempted by the emperor's special pardon.

But she has been here for such a long time, and her personal maid Chunyu has not come to see her. I wonder where she has gone to play!

Seeing that there was still some time before noon, Cui Xiaoxiao checked the property that the original owner had been thinking about. This was one of her wishes, to protect the property left to her by her mother, but she didn't make it clear whether all the dowry that her mother brought to restore the Marquis's mansion should be protected together with it?

She took a small key from her neck, moved the bed a little, and felt an invisible small door on the inside of the bed leg. There was a small wooden box inside. Cui Xiaoxiao carefully moved the wooden box out.

Such a secret place was found for her by her mother!

When he opened the box, he found a neatly arranged stack of silver bills of different denominations, the deeds of two shops, a pile, and a two-story house, more than 20 deeds of sale, gold ingots, silver ingots, and some small jewelry.

Cui Xiaoxiao counted the silver bills and found that the amount was a total of 53,420 taels of silver, five gold ingots of 10 taels each, eleven silver ingots, and the rest were some jewelry.

At a time when three coins could buy a steamed bun and twenty coins could buy a pound of pork, this was a considerable fortune! However, considering that a set of complicated jewelry for a noble lady could cost thousands of taels, she would not think it was too much to have another fifty thousand taels of silver.

Her mother's dowry was 50 taels of silver, not to mention the dowry of the ten-mile red dress. But after being poisoned, she probably guessed something. She saw clearly what kind of monsters and demons were in the Marquis' Mansion, and she also understood that after she died, her daughter's life would not be easy!

On her deathbed, she made some arrangements, placing all her trusted people outside the mansion in the two shops and the farm. She also secretly left the money, and only told her daughter where she hid the things before she died, and told her not to open it before she was ten years old.

The monthly salary from the Marquis's Mansion plus the money she left behind were enough to support her for several years.

He also told her that there were five boxes of dowry left for her in the small secret room of the house, and that she must go to get them after she got married, and not touch them at other times no matter what happened. He also told her not to tell these words to anyone, including her father and grandmother's personal maid.

After saying these words, he refused to see the original owner until more than ten days before his death, saying that he was afraid that his sick appearance would scare his daughter!

Although the original owner was young at the time, she remembered her mother's words clearly, and even her personal maid didn't know about it. This is how she successfully saved the wealth. It's a pity that after the original owner died, all the money fell into the hands of the heroine.

Cui Xiaoxiao didn't understand the reason why her mother did this until she grew up. The reason why she didn't see her before she died was to prove to everyone that she didn't leave any last words. She didn't want her father and other people in the Marquis' Mansion to know that she had left a sum of money for her daughter!

But even so, her father, grandmother, and the concubine of the Marquis's Mansion had all tried to trick her into giving her all the money left by the original owner's mother. They also secretly searched her boudoir many times, but could not find the money.

Cui Xiaoxiao finally understood why the original owner attached so much importance to the money left by her mother. After all, it represented her mother's love for her and was the only thing her mother left her.

Hua Yunrong's love for her daughter is so deep that she has made far-reaching plans for her, which is really touching. The various arrangements she made for her daughter are enough to show how smart this woman is.

With that much money, as long as the original owner didn't squander it, her life wouldn't be difficult no matter which family she married into!

Don't worry, little girl. I will protect this money tightly. No matter who is in the Marquis' Mansion, don't even think of using a single cent!

She put all the small boxes in the space, put the bed back in place, clapped her hands, and put the key around her neck! It seems that she has to find time to put all the dowry in the secret room of the house outside into the space. There is no place safer than the space.

She could easily guess that the five boxes must be very valuable! After all, Hua Yunrong picked them out from her Ten Miles of Red Makeup and took great pains to transport them out. How could she possibly take something useless?

Just then she found that her face in the bronze mirror looked a little weird and her skin looked a little strange. Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw her personal maid coming back with lunch.

"Miss, I brought back lunch. We have old duck soup today. Would you like some now?" Chunyu took out the food and placed it on the table. Her portion consisted of five dishes, two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and one soup, which looked pretty good.

"Okay, use it!" Cui Xiaoxiao sat down according to the original owner's living habits and started eating.

The food cooked by the chef in the Marquis' Mansion was not very tasty and was far from her level. Maybe it was because there was not enough seasoning, or maybe it was because it was cold!

It wasn't to her taste, so after taking a few bites of the food, Cui Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks and let the servants eat the rest.

After dinner, she began to observe the furnishings in the house and the situation in her small courtyard.

This small courtyard was also bought for the original owner by her mother before she passed away. However, some precious decorations and valuables were all gone, and the entire shelf looked a little empty.

The rest of the dormitory was quite simple. Although the place was not big, it still had the important things that were often used. There was a dressing table, a screen, a wardrobe, an embroidery frame, a desk, a pen, ink, paper, and an inkstone. There was also a piano under the window...!

The Marquis' Mansion also hired female teachers to teach the young ladies in the mansion. They were all hired by the original owner's mother. They mainly taught etiquette, women's rules and regulations, calligraphy, and a little bit of music, chess, poetry and painting according to each person's interests.

However, these studies ended at the age of thirteen, and the girls would return to their mothers to learn how to support their husbands and raise their children, how to balance wives and concubines, how to manage household affairs, socialize, give gifts, and hold banquets. After all, most of the noble ladies from high-ranking families, if they did not enter the royal family, would be mistresses in other mansions.

The housekeepers and directors are basically basic operators.

After Cui Xiaoxiao's female tutor was dismissed at the age of thirteen, no one in the mansion took care of her. Her stepmother disliked her very much, even more than a concubine's daughter, because her existence reminded her all the time that she was a stepmother.

This resulted in the original owner being completely blank about all the important knowledge that she needed to learn from her mother! This was also one of the reasons why she was framed so many times in the prince's mansion.

Therefore, noble families do not marry daughters who have lost their mothers as their wives. This is also the reason why!

Cui Xiaoxiao felt a headache when she thought about going to the Marquis's wife's morning and evening visits every morning, and then the Marquis's wife would take them to pay respects to the old lady...! There were so many rules in ancient times. Fortunately, she had the experience of being in ancient times and was a princess once, otherwise she would really be a little confused!
