Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Min Rouer had to put aside her usual behavior. She usually acted servilely to please the shopkeeper Zhang, and even treated the shopkeeper's wife with respect, calling her "sister".

The couple ran a small business and didn't want to support two outsiders who were just eating their meals for free. So the mother and daughter became almost servants of the Zhang family, spending their days washing clothes, cooking, carrying water, and sweeping the floor, serving the entire Zhang family.

If it were just that, Zhao Wan'er would have endured it.

But she never expected that Min Rouer, as a mother, transferred everything that she should have borne onto Zhao Waner.

Usually, no matter what work it was, she would push it to Zhao Wan'er, and after Zhao Wan'er finished it, she would go and pretend to take the credit.

The excuse was that if she did the rough work, her hands and face would become rougher, and then Manager Zhang would never enter her house again, and the mother and daughter would never have a good life.

Whenever Zhao Wan'er had a conflict with the three girls, Min Rou'er would take the blame on Zhao Wan'er first and beat and scold her without any explanation.

Zhao Wan'er's body was often covered in bruises, most of which were caused by her own mother.

Zhao Wan'er's impression of her mother's past life was shattered once again. Sometimes Zhao Wan'er felt confused and wondered if her mother was possessed by an evil spirit.

Is there any mother in the world who is as good as her?

Besides, don't think she doesn't know how her own father died in this life because she is young. She is just powerless and can only pretend to be young and ignorant.

That day was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month three years ago. The Zhang family went out to see the lanterns, leaving only the mother and daughter at home to watch the door.

Min Rouer was wearing a light red, half-new jacket that the eldest daughter of the Zhang family no longer wanted, and was applying hair oil to the well in the yard.

She wanted to take this opportunity to dress up beautifully so that Manager Zhang might sleep in her room tonight.

Min Rouer still dreams of giving birth to a son.

It's not like she hasn't been pregnant before, let alone given birth. It doesn't make sense that she hasn't given birth to a son in all these years.

As long as she can give birth to a son, the Zhang family will belong to her and her son in the future.

Unfortunately, the fat woman locked every room before she left.

There wasn't even a bronze mirror in her room, so she could only look at the well water, and Yixi could see clearly.

Min Rouer was admiring herself happily when suddenly a pair of hands reached out from beside her and pushed her into the well.

Just as she was about to shout for help, the icy cold well water from the deep winter poured into her mouth and nose.

The water-soaked cotton jacket dragged her body down like a huge rock.

Min Rouer soon fell into endless coldness and darkness.

The last time she looked around helplessly, she saw the cold eyes of her own daughter, Zhao Wan'er.

The 999 system asked Nan Xi:

[Master Host, don't you want to send someone to put Zhao Wan'er in jail?]

Nan Xi’s answer was that there was no need to do this.

She believed that from the moment Zhao Wan'er personally murdered her mother, her aura as a heroine would no longer work. A heroine of a small world abandoned by the heavens like this could not have a good ending.

Sure enough, just when Zhao Wan'er had covered up her tracks and was about to escape from the Zhang family with her packed bag, she was caught by a member of the Zhang family who was returning home as soon as she stepped out of the door.

The reason why the Zhang family came back early was mainly because the fat woman was afraid that the mother and daughter would do something bad at home.

Needless to say, Zhao Wan'er was taken back home.

Seeing that Zhao Wan'er was in a panic, the Zhang family suspected that she had done something bad, so they interrogated her.

Zhao Wan'er knew that she couldn't keep her mother's death a secret for long, so she had to sob and half-lie that Min Rou'er accidentally fell into the well while dressing up.

She tried desperately to rescue the person but failed.

She felt that now that her mother was gone, the Zhang family would no longer care about her, so she wanted to pack her bags and go out to live on her own.

The Zhang family hurried to the well and saw that it was already silent, but there was indeed something reddish-brown floating on the surface.

The Zhang family cursed their bad luck and hired someone to go and fish out Min Rouer's body.

Needless to say, it was so cold that people were already exhausted.

Zhao Wan'er rushed over and cried heart-wrenchingly.

Although the Zhang family was skeptical, no one had ever suspected that Zhao Wan'er, a skinny and weak girl who was still a half-grown girl, would kill her mother.

In this way, Zhao Wan'er was kept again.

It wasn't that the Zhang family was kind. It was that the fat woman felt that although Zhao Wan'er was now skinny, her facial contours and features still vaguely showed that she was a beauty.

After a couple of years of looking after herself, maybe she could get a good dowry when she gets married.

With this in mind, he stopped skimping on her food, but she still had to do the work she was supposed to do and take the beatings and scolding she was supposed to take.

This was enough to make Zhao Wan'er feel miserable.

She had timed her death to kill her own mother, Min Rouer. If Min Rouer didn't die, she would always have to be her shield, which was too painful.

But if she was too young, she wouldn't be able to defeat Min Rouer. But when she was older, she would have to observe mourning for at least three years after Min Rouer died.

How can I marry Brother Ye and become his principal wife then?

What's more, she was also afraid that if Min Rouer was still alive, Brother Ye would find out what she had done, or if she said something wrong, Brother Ye would look down on her.

And if Min Rou'er died, who would care about all this? By then, she could make up anything, and she could even make the mother and daughter seem more helpless and pitiful.

The reason for choosing this day was, firstly, that the opportunity was right, and secondly, according to the time, in three years she would be of marriageable age.

Naturally, at this time, Zhao Wan'er still didn't know anything about Xuanyuan Ye.

She did know that the emperor had been replaced by the former crown prince.

But not too sad.

Anyway, Brother Ye is a prince. Even if the new emperor takes the throne, he must at least be a prince. It doesn't matter. She can accept being a princess in this life.

As long as I can still be with Brother Ye, that's enough.

What troubled her was that although the Zhang family no longer withheld her food, they kept a very strict watch over her. They would not let her go out of the house at all and only made her work non-stop at home.

The main thing is that the fat woman knows what is going on.

On the day they returned, they happened to see the bastard holding a bag, clearly having already made up her mind to run away. If they had returned a little later, the girl might have already run off to who knows where.

Wouldn't the Zhang family be completely wiped out, having raised this bastard for so many years in vain? So the fat woman specifically told her family to keep an eye out and keep a close eye on him!
