Cannon Fodder is King [Quick Transmigration]

When Xiao woke up, he realized that he was in a dark Buddhist hall, wearing an ill-fitting nun's robe.

Then she remembered what happened before, and her complexion changed drastically.

She staggered out of bed and slammed on the doors and windows desperately: "Let me out, let me out!"

"I want to see the Duke, I want to see Jing'er."

"It was Xing Xiaoya, it was Xing Xiaoya who framed me, they were all deceived by Xing Xiaoya."

……

It's a pity that even if Xiao's throat was broken by shouting, no one answered her.

Except when it's meal time, a mute will bring her food and a change of clothes for the day through a small hole in the corner of the wall.

After the depression and despair, Xiao's determination to expose Xing Xiaoya's ugly face to Zhao Lingwu and Zhao Yijing was strengthened.

For this, she has to live well.

After half a year in this way, there was a sudden noise outside the house, which disturbed Mrs. Xiao who was doing morning class.

Immediately after the door opened, everyone filed in.

Xiao Shi subconsciously raised his hand to cover the glare of the sun.

I only heard someone coming and saying in a male voice: "Are you Xiao Shi?"

After finally getting used to the surrounding light, Xiao let go of his hands, only then did he see clearly that the people who came were the housekeeper and an eunuch of the Duke's Mansion.

Although the butler looked unbearable, he still took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Shi. He hardly dared to look Xiao Shi directly in the eyes: "Husband...Xiao Shi, this is a letter written by the Duke of the Kingdom to you." Book?"

As if being struck by lightning, Xiao yelled, "What did you say?"

Only the eunuch said in a vibrating voice: "According to the order of the sage, drag Mrs. Xiao to Caishikou, punish thirty boards, and drive them out of the capital. Come here—"

"Yes." Immediately behind the eunuch, two guards with knives came out, grabbed Xiao Shi and walked out.

"Responsible for the [-]th board, expelled from the capital?" Xiao's complexion changed, dizzy, she struggled desperately: "How could this happen, I want to see the Duke, I want to see Jing'er."

"It's useless," the butler said with a sigh: "At the palace banquet two days ago, because the crown prince wore a jade pendant presented by the wife of the crown prince, it was recognized by the uncle Zheng Guogong as belonging to the late Empress Xiaogong Qian. It was found out that Mrs. Shizi was the daughter of Empress Xiaogong Qian, and the Holy Majesty appointed Mrs. Mrs. Ning as Princess Ning on the spot... Now the Duke is seriously ill in bed, and because of you, Shizi has also been sent to prison, if not The eldest son and the eldest princess pleaded for you, the Holy Majesty originally wanted to kill you..."

Hearing this, Xiao's face turned pale, her eyes lost their focus, and she muttered to herself: "How could this happen, how could this happen?"

Seeing that she was no longer struggling, the eunuch waved his hand: "Take her away."

In this way, Mrs. Xiao was brought to Caishikou by them.

People passing by surrounded her and pointed at her.

"Is this the lady of the Duke's Mansion who caused Princess Ning to have a miscarriage twice?"

"It's not her."

"She can do it too, tiger poison doesn't even eat its eggs."

"I heard that Princess Ning is also the savior of her son."

……

Shame, unwillingness, shame and indignation... All kinds of emotions disappeared in the instant the red sign was dropped.

"Hit—" Following the eunuch's order, the water and fire stick fell on her body fiercely.

Pain, heart-piercing pain.

However, there were endless applause in my ears.

She passed out and was woken up again by water.

She had no time to think about anything else, she just wanted to die immediately.

I don't know how long it took, but the thirty big boards were finally finished, and she was only half breathed.

The next moment, rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves smashed towards her.

In a daze, a fairly familiar voice came from beside her ear: "My lord, since the thirty big boards have been played, I don't need to trouble you, the officials, the students will take Mr. Xiao out of the capital."

"What kind of criminal are you?"

"I... I am her son."

son?

Jinger——

Xiao Shi panted heavily, and barely opened her eyes. When the person approached, it turned out to be a face she hadn't expected.

She watched in a daze as one rotten egg after another exploded on his forehead, and the stinky egg liquid fell on his hair and clothes.

He didn't care, and only said with red eyes: "Mother... Mother, An'er will take you out of the capital."

After the astonishment was over, there was only emotion left. Xiao Shi never expected that when she was almost in a desperate situation, the one who extended a helping hand to her would be the bastard who she had always regarded as nothing.

But before she could speak, a sharp pain hit her heart, her breathing was stagnant, and she fainted.

For the next two months, it was like a dream. I couldn't live or die.

Fortunately, she survived in the end.

After sending the doctor away, Zhao Yi'an brought the decocted medicine to Xiao Shi.

Already accustomed to the taste of the medicinal juice, Xiao took the medicinal bowl and drank it down.At the end, she said, "Sit down, let's talk."

Zhao Yi'an hesitated to agree.

Xiao Shi looked at Zhao Yi'an, who was busy in the world, and was silent for a while, and finally said: "Why did you help me?"

She didn't doubt Zhao Yi'an's intentions, and Zhao Yi'an took care of her meticulously for more than two months together day and night, and never had a trace of impatience, which already explained the problem.

Under the dim candlelight, Zhao Yi'an looked at Mrs. Xiao, with a look of admiration on his face, he said: "I had a serious illness when I was young, if you hadn't taken the post to invite the imperial doctor for me, I'm afraid He died a long time ago. From that time on, I swear that I will repay you in the future."

Xiao Shi still vaguely remembered this matter, she thought of a thousand reasons for Zhao Yi'an to help her, but never expected that it would be such a reason that was not considered a reason.

"Taking good care of the backyard is the responsibility of being the wife of the family." Should Zhao Yi'an be too honest or too stupid, Xiao's face was moved: "Confused, just for such a trivial thing, I gave up the brocade clothes and jade in the Duke's mansion." Food, is it worth it?"

"It's not worth it, I just know that if I don't do this, I will regret it for the rest of my life." Zhao Yi'an said softly.

Xiao Shi's eyes turned red instantly.

When everyone misunderstood and hated her, Zhao Yi'an appeared and dispelled most of the haze in her heart.

It's impossible not to be moved.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yi'an went to the street and set up a letter writing stall, and the daily income was barely enough for the two of them.

Although life is tight, it is better than stability.

Xiao Shi's health improved day by day, partly because she stayed at home and had nothing to do, and partly because she wanted to earn some money to subsidize the family, she asked Zhao Yi'an for some needles and thread, and embroidered a purse.

She has learned Su embroidery, so the craftsmanship is naturally good. In addition, this is a small place, and things are sought after as soon as they are on the market.She reached an agreement with the embroidery shop with the most favorable price, and agreed that the other party would come to pick up the goods every five days.

With Xiao's joining, the burden on Zhao Yi'an was instantly lightened a lot.

After more than two months like this, the injuries on Xiao's body healed a lot, and the family also saved eight taels of silver.

Eight taels of silver. In the past, she would reward her servants casually without knowing this amount, but now it has become her entire family property.

In addition to being disappointed, she was satisfied, and even thought that after working for another year or two, she would be able to save enough money for Zhao Yi'an to marry a wife.

With such a mentality, Xiao temporarily forgot everything that happened in the capital.

Until another five days came, the owner of the embroidery shop who had agreed to come to pick up the embroidery hadn't come in the afternoon.

Xiao Shi wondered that the other party might have been delayed by something. Anyway, she lived not very far from the embroidery shop, so she might as well go there and send the embroidery there.

After making up her mind, she went out with her things, but she never expected that the neighbors would point and point her as soon as she went to the street.

"I said, how could she know how to embroider in Suzhou? It turns out that she is the wife of the Duke's Mansion who caused Princess Ning to miscarry twice."

"It's true that you know people, face, but don't know your heart. A person who usually looks good has such a dark heart."

"It's not..."

Xiao's face froze, as if falling into an abyss.

She finally knew why the owner of the embroidery shop hadn't come yet.

She staggered home.

This is not the most frustrating thing, when it was dark, Zhao Yi'an was carried back, his face was bruised and swollen, there was no good meat, and his right hand was also broken.

Sending away the kind passers-by, Xiao Shi looked at Zhao Yi'an's appearance and burst into tears: "God damn bastards, how dare they hit such a heavy hand."

"Mother, don't cry, we've survived even the hardest times, this little injury is nothing." Zhao Yi'an comforted her while saying, "Mother, let's move."

After being silent for a while, Xiao Shi said, "Okay."

In any case, they couldn't live in this place anymore.

But they didn't expect that every time they went to a place and finally settled down, Xiao's scandal would be exposed, and then someone would come to Zhao Yi'an's work place to make trouble.

The two hid all the way from Guizhou to Yunnan. Gradually, Xiao Shi also noticed that something was wrong.

She gritted her teeth: "It must be Xing Xiaoya, she must be playing tricks."

Hearing this, Zhao Yi'an hesitated to speak.

"Why, even though I have fallen into such a situation, she still refuses to let me go!" Xiao's face was ashen.

Just like that, Xiao Shi fell ill again due to heart disease and the sequelae of the beating.

This disease never got better, and the money in Zhao Yi'an's hands was bottomed out, and all the money that could be used was pawned. There was no money to pay the rent, so Zhao Yi'an had to take Xiao to find a ruined temple to live in. a beggar.

"An'er, it's your mother who dragged you down..." The thin and skinny Xiao Shi had wrinkles on his face, his eyes were sunken, and his breath was dying.

She knew she was going to die, but she didn't feel hopeless.

She was tired of living, running away, and sick. For her, death was a kind of relief.

The only person she was ashamed of was Zhao Yi'an, if it wasn't for her, why would Zhao Yi'an fall to where he is today.

He was admitted as a scholar at a young age, who can guarantee that he will not be named on the gold list in the future, and he will be named a marquis and a prime minister.He would marry a virtuous wife and have two or three lively children.When he is old, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the children and grandchildren are full...

Zhao Yi'an knelt in front of the bed, clasped Xiao Shi's right hand with both hands and put it to his mouth, weeping bitterly: "No, it's because the child is incompetent and failed to cure mother's illness."

"In the next life... In the next life, we will be mother and son again. When the time comes, when the time comes..." Xiao gasped with difficulty, opened her mouth, but could no longer speak. She smelled the musty smell from the bedding on her body. Looking at Zhao Yi'an, who was dressed in rags and mourning endlessly, and then at the dilapidated roof above his head, a burst of hatred shot out from his cloudy eyes.

How could she not hate.

I think of her being well-clothed and well-fed, pampered and pampered for decades, she gave up porridge, applied medicine, paved roads, and repaired good halls...everything is sincere and kind.

She asked herself, she had never intentionally done anything outrageous, but in the end, she ended up with her husband abandoning her, her son divorced, impoverished, and dying of illness in a foreign country.

It's all about Xing Xiaoya, that poisonous woman, who confused her Jinger, who framed her to this point.

She hates it!

But what's the use of hating, she is going to die, but Xing Xiaoya is still alive and well.

She was thinking in a daze, how wonderful it would be to see Jinger again, the child she was pregnant with in October and almost lost, the child she had studied and loved for decades...

"mother--"

Following Zhao Yi'an's painful cry, Xiao Shi vaguely felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, and finally almost floated.At this moment, a strange wind blew from nowhere, making her top-heavy and confused, not knowing the year and month.

I don't know how long it took, but the strange wind finally subsided.

The world suddenly had a voice.

"Are you going to deliver something to Mrs. Xiao?"

"That's right, our Duke is filial, and the eldest princess has a bodhisattva heart. Even if Xiao Shi has done so many evil things, the Duke still misses him. No, we will be sent to her every three months. Sending things, three years, never broken."

"Hey, with so many things, I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings the Xiao family has accumulated to meet such a good son and daughter-in-law as the Duke and the eldest princess."

"It's not..."

Xiao Shi suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a familiar street.

She was slightly taken aback, isn't this the back door of the Duke's Mansion?

Isn't she dead?

Only then did she realize that she was floating in the air, and then her eyes lit up, so God heard her prayer and sent her to see her son?

Her breathing became rapid for a moment.

"Okay, stop talking, I should go."

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

Hearing these words, Xiao's eyes fell on the two carriages passing through the crowd and driving into the distance, and he was stunned for a moment.

Jing'er often gives her things?

She knew that Jing'er had never forgotten her.

It's just why she never received these things.

But it was only for a moment, and the excitement and nervousness instantly dispelled the doubts in her heart like a crushing one.

She set off and flew towards the Duke's mansion.

A lot has changed in the mansion, although he has only been away for three years, it gives Xiao a feeling as if he has passed away.

Following the general direction, she found the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer...

Excitement, fear, nervousness... Xiao couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in right now.

She slowed down and walked slowly through the door.

In the study, Zhao Yijing was reviewing military books.

It was the appearance in her memory, Xiao Shi covered her mouth, but before the tears rolled down from her eyes, someone knocked on the door and entered.

The man knelt on the ground on one knee and said, "My lord, there is news from Yunnan that Mrs. Xiao is dead."

"Dead?" Zhao Yijing put down the book, his tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "What about Zhao Yian?"

"I'm sick, very sick, and I don't think there will be much time left." The man replied.

"Understood, withdraw everyone who is staring at them!"

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

The tears in Xiao's eyes were forced back by the indifference on Zhao Yijing's face.

She looked dazed, even a little overwhelmed.

She watched Zhao Yijing stand up and go to the cubicle.

She subconsciously followed, and what she saw was a mourning hall, and the altar table was full of sacrifices and a memorial tablet.

On the tablet is written 'the spiritual tablet of the first concubine Zhao Zhou's mother-in-law'.

Zhou Su Niang!

Xiao Shi is very familiar with this name, how many times when she dreams back at midnight, she can't wait to skin this person and cramp.

Zhao Lingwu thought she was completely concealed, but in fact she knew everything, but she didn't say anything.

Because she learned from elementary school that the husband guides the wife, and the husband sings and the wife follows; because she knows that Zhao Lingwu dare not bring Zhou Suniang to the stage; because she doesn't want Zhou Suniang to appear in front of others, otherwise, her original spouse's status will be lost.

Out of sight is pure, she never deliberately inquired about Su Niang's news, only heard that she died early, and she didn't know how she died.

I saw Zhao Yijing take three sticks of incense and light them on the candle. After kneeling three times and knocking down nine times, he put the long sticks of incense into the incense burner and said, "Mother, Mrs. Xiao is dead. Back then she caused you to be beaten to death in the street. Now she You can rest in peace even if you die of illness.”

Killed in the street?

Xiao's face was expressionless, and she remembered that more than 20 years ago, when she took Zhao Yijing to the street to watch the lanterns, the servant who followed her accidentally killed a sneaky person who was covering his head and wanted to show Zhao Yijing The traffickers who started.

But it turns out, is that Zhou Suniang?

Zhao Yijing stood up, na na said: "Mr. Xiao, you can't blame me for being cruel, I didn't intend to kill you at first. But who made Xiaoya suddenly become the princess of Ningguo, the emperor personally intervened about her miscarriage, that is deceitful It’s a crime. In order to keep Xiaoya’s pure and kind image in the emperor’s mind, I can only wrong you to die. And your cousin’s family, who let them know that you were imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, secretly sent People went to Xiaoya's shop to make trouble, I originally just wanted to send them away, it was their own bad luck, they encountered a homeless riot, no wonder I..."

As he said that, Xing Xiaoya's voice came from outside the door: "Yijing, come quickly, the workshop finally got the soda (sodium carbonate) out."

Hearing this, Zhao Yijing immediately opened the curtain of the mourning hall and walked out.

Xing Xiaoya gave Zhao Yijing a small porcelain bottle. Zhao Yijing opened it and saw that there was a pile of white powder in the porcelain bottle. He asked, "How did you make it?"

"It's made from salt and charcoal," Xing Xiaoya said with a smile on her face. "In the future, we won't have to travel to Wucheng to mine (natural sodium carbonate ore). In this way, the cost of making soap can be reduced by at least [-]%."

"Not bad." Zhao Yijing raised his hand to straighten Xing Xiaoya's temples, with a gentle face: "Thank you for your hard work."

You must know that soap making alone can bring more than 20 taels of income to the Duke's Mansion every year.

"This is what I should do." Xing Xiaoya hugged Zhao Yijing with a sweet look on her face.

However, Xiao's eyes fell on the big maid who was following behind Xing Xiaoya, and a sense of familiarity came over her face.

After a while, she finally remembered, isn't this the maid who came forward to accuse her three years ago because she couldn't hold the board?

Now that things have come to this point, what else does she not understand?

She looked at Zhao Yijing and Xing Xiaoya who were embracing each other not far away. They were smiling so happily, but she felt a biting cold.

No wonder her child, who had been sentenced to death by a doctor, suddenly got better.

It's no wonder that the old lady, who has always been gentle, took her child who was only a few days old and kept her by her side.

No wonder Zhao Yijing never looked for her in the past three years, and no matter where they fled, accidents would happen...

Thinking of how many times Zhao Yi'an hesitated to speak when she talked about Zhao Yijing, Xiao's eyes turned red.

She, Xiao Yiru, is a complete fool. She has raised and pampered a bastard for more than 20 years like a baby.

Zhao Lingwu, the old lady, Zhao Yijing, Xing Xiaoya... This family played around with her.

In the end, Zhao Yijing and Xing Xiaoya gained a lot of good reputation by stepping on her.

Ruthless, really ruthless!

How excited she was when she came, how much she hates her now.

Xiao Shi stretched out his hand to touch the corner of his eye, and looked down, there was blood on his hand.

She raised her head sharply to look at Zhao Yijing and the two, wanting to tear her apart.

"Bitch, I'm going to kill you—"

She screamed and flew towards Zhao Yijing and the two, no longer the elegance of the past.

The next moment, she passed straight through the bodies of Zhao Yijing and the two of them.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and attacked the two of them again.

"Yijing, why do I feel chilly all over my body?" Xing Xiaoya said.

Zhao Yijing looked up and said, "The weather is going to change, let's go back and add some clothes."

"it is good."

The futile efforts again and again wiped out Xiao's last ounce of fighting spirit.

She slumped on the ground and let Zhao Yijing and Xing Xiaoya leave together.

With a bang, the rain poured down.

She was unable to complain about God's injustice, she only blamed herself for being too stupid, when she was about to die, she still thought about Zhao Yijing.

She not only harmed herself, but also her cousin's family of eight, Mother Zheng, and Yi An—

Yes, Yian, and Yian.

Xiao's face turned pale in panic, the man said that Yi An was ill, very seriously ill, how is he doing now?

Thinking of this, she hurriedly stood up and flew in the direction she came from.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally returned to the ruined temple at the foot of the mountain.

The whole temple looked unusually cold and deserted, smelling the faint rancid smell from the tip of her nose, she suddenly felt uneasy.

The further you go in, the stronger the rancid smell.

When she reached the corner behind the Buddha statue, the strong rotten smell almost made Xiao suffocate. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, and pulled back the thin quilt on the bed, and a rotting corpse suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Xiao's eyes fell on the clothes she was familiar with on the rotten corpse, and she suddenly felt dizzy.

"Ma'am, why are you crying?"
