The Rebirth of a Farm Girl from a Military Family and a Cannon Fodder Princess

Overwhelmed with grief, the mother is still unaware that she is three months pregnant.

More than two months after my father's passing, my mother was immersed in grief. If it weren't for the worry that her daughter would have no one to rely on, she would have wanted to go with my father. As a result, she neglected her own life and didn't come to bed for a long time.

However, Furong, the mother's personal maid, had already noticed this and told the old lady and the first lady. Furong had long been bribed by the first lady and the old lady.

In four days, Mother will be banished to a remote village, where she will be firmly controlled by the village head. Then, in less than two months, she will inexplicably fall ill and die. The child in Mother's womb will not even have the chance to open his eyes and see the world before being killed by those who hate his existence.

Yes, only when both mother and younger brother are dead can the eldest uncle inherit everything in the Marquis's mansion with a clear conscience. Otherwise, once the younger brother comes of age, he will have to hand over everything in the mansion back to him!

Zisu's father, Shangguan Mufeng, was the legitimate son of the Shangguan family, but not the eldest son. He was the son of his grandfather Shangguan Youde's first wife. Before marrying his first wife, he took a concubine named Niu. After his first wife passed away, he made Niu his legal wife. Niu's son, Shangguan Chengfeng, was the eldest son born out of wedlock, and was one year older than the legitimate eldest son, Shangguan Chengfeng.

When Shangguan Mufeng was five years old, he was made the heir apparent of the Marquis of Changning's household. After the Marquis of Changning passed away, Shangguan Mufeng naturally inherited the title. If he had a son in the future, the title should rightfully be inherited by his son. Even if his son was too young to assume the responsibilities of the Marquis after his death, and Shangguan Chengfeng temporarily inherited the title, he must return it to his son once the son reached adulthood.

Because of this, Yu, who was pregnant and was Zisu's mother, naturally became a thorn in the side of her uncle and step-grandmother, who wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

However, his uncle was a court official who cherished his reputation. He dared not remove Zisu as well, otherwise the censors would target him. Not only could he not remove Zisu, but he also had to feign affection for his niece, ensuring the world praised him as the uncle. This would be entirely beneficial for his smooth inheritance of the title and for gaining the emperor's favor.

In her past life, Zisu was foolish and willful, unaware that she was being used. Her aunt and step-grandmother sowed discord, leading her to mistakenly believe that the child in her mother's womb was illegitimate. This caused her to resent her mother for betraying her father, and she stood by and ignored her mother. She allowed her uncle's family to send her mother to a remote village under the pretext of her mother having a serious illness, without even bothering to see her off.

Reborn and returning, Zisu felt as if her heart was being torn apart when she thought of all this.

She knelt before her mother, weeping bitterly, and refused to get up for a long time.

Madam Yu thought her daughter was heartbroken over Shangguan Mufeng, and her heart ached so much that she hugged her daughter and cried bitterly as well.

Zisu didn't try to persuade her; her mother had already cried, and that was good! Once she cried it out, she wouldn't hold onto her emotions and develop any health problems.

After crying, Zisu pulled her mother to sit in the pavilion, and ordered the maids and servants to stay twenty paces away from the pavilion and not to eavesdrop.

Xiangli understood immediately and whispered to Zisu, "Miss, please rest assured, I will keep an eye on them, and no one will be able to eavesdrop!"
