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

The prefect gave Zisu a purse containing two 100-tael silver notes, and gave Yu Han a 50-tael silver note.

Madam Yu couldn't help but burst into tears: "Your father was a respectable man. Although he's gone, he hasn't forgotten us. There are still quite a few people who remember him!"

Zisu: "It's a pity that the silver given by those who went to the Marquis's mansion to offer incense and prayers in the capital all ended up in my uncle's hands. That silver must have amounted to at least three thousand, if not five thousand. Alas, my uncle's family is truly outrageous, utterly despicable and shameless!"

Madam Yu glared at her: "Look at what you're saying! That's your uncle after all. Don't gossip about your uncle's family again!"

Zisu retorted, "What's wrong with that? Since they dare to do it, we can't even say anything? Mother, you're just too kind. No wonder they bully us!"

“Zisu is right. With your kind of behavior, who else would people bully if not you?” Grandma also glared at Yu Shi, gritting her teeth: “Shangguan Chengfeng, you heartless wretch, you have no shame whatsoever! You even embezzle money like this. I, this old woman, curse your whole family to die a horrible death, and may you go to the eighteenth level of hell!”

Zisu raised her finger and gave her grandma a thumbs up: "Grandma, you're awesome!"

Yu was scolded by her mother and had no choice but to lower her head.

Now, the one truly in charge of this household is the daughter, Zisu. Even her mother has more influence than her. Alas, is she truly too weak, too kind?

If Zisu knew what she was thinking, she would definitely say: "Mother, that's not kindness, that's just being overly kind. Kindness without principles or boundaries is just being overly kind, and it's highly undesirable!"

Ten days later, Shangguan Chengfeng was impeached by the Imperial Censor, who listed five crimes against him: dereliction of duty, embezzlement and bribery, greed and lust, abuse of power for personal gain, and bullying his sister-in-law and niece!

Among them, the most despicable crime was seizing his sister-in-law's dowry and driving his pregnant sister-in-law and young niece out of the mansion!

His Majesty was furious. The death of the Protector-General was a tremendous loss to the Western Liang Dynasty. He was genuinely saddened and regretful that such a patriotic general had died for his country. Yet, the Protector-General's wife and daughter had been wronged!

When the emperor is angry, even if there is no bloodshed, the weather will change drastically.

Unsurprisingly, Shangguan Chengfeng was stripped of his power and reduced from a high-ranking official to a commoner! Not only that, but his home was also raided, and almost all of his property was confiscated. The confiscated property was divided in two: half went to the national treasury, and the other half went to Zisu's younger brother, Shangguan Yi.

The Shangguan family moved to a small house with only one courtyard. Almost all the servants in the mansion left, leaving only an old woman who did rough work.

Shangguan Zhihua had no choice but to wash her own clothes. As she washed them, she mentally tortured Zisu a thousand times over.

Shangguan Zisu, you despicable woman, one day I will tear you to pieces!

Zisu, whom she resented and cursed, was at this moment picking wild strawberries in the mountains with fragrant pears, crabapples, lilacs, and cherries, chatting and laughing, her mood as bright and cheerful as the cloudless blue sky.

Shangguan Zhihua, how are you doing these days?
