Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Zhou Niantang was so anxious that he scratched his hair with both hands.

In the end, she gave up. Was this a plot device? I can't tell.

This is really terrible! How could Zhou Yunqi agree to let the male lead go if she didn't tell him?

Her behavior made Zhou Yunqi wonder if she was threatened by Pei Shi.

She asked, "What happened when you went to the attic yesterday afternoon?"

Zhou Niantang really wanted to tell the truth. When she woke up from her nap yesterday afternoon, there was a voice in her head telling her to go to the attic in the backyard.

To be honest, she was indeed curious about why there was a strange voice in her head, and she was also curious about what was in the attic.

The house in the backyard has three floors, all of which are servants' rooms, and there is a small attic on the top floor.

It was a hot summer day and she was already sweating profusely by the time she reached the third floor, but curiosity drove her to continue climbing the stairs to the attic.

There was only a small room in the attic with a shabby wooden door ajar.

Even though she pushed it open carefully, the door still creaked.

After stepping in, she found that it was even hotter inside than outside.

The ceiling of the attic is the roof itself, and the hot summer sun makes the ceiling emit heat. In addition, there is only one small window here, and it seems that there is no air conditioning.

She looked around, but no one was inside.

There was only a small bed and the bedding didn't look new, but it was laid out neatly.

Then there was a table and a chair, nothing else.

There was nothing special. She turned around and tried to leave, but was stared at by a pair of sinister eyes at the door.

From childhood to adulthood, even when she was not close to Zhou Yunqi in the past, the servants around her always took good care of her, and because she was in poor health, they all liked to coax her.

She had never been stared at with such a terrifying look before. She felt from the boy's eyes that he was looking at her as if she were an animal whose neck he could easily break.

Zhou Niantang took two steps back in fear, but the man seemed to be amused by her reaction and moved closer.

Finally, when he was only two steps away from her and raised his hand to touch her neck, Zhou Niantang reacted and immediately fled the scene.

She ran all the way to the yard, but finally she couldn't hold it in any longer and collapsed onto the lawn.

After a while, the servant found her and helped her back to her room, but she developed a high fever not long after she returned home.

Zhou Yunqi put her hand on her shoulder: "Tangtang, tell your sister, is there anyone threatening you? Don't be afraid, you are the master here, no one dares to bully you."

Zhou Niantang felt that if she just nodded, her sister would kill Pei Shi.

She quickly shook her head: "No, no, I just went there out of curiosity. The weather was too hot and I felt uncomfortable."

"Really?" Zhou Yunqi obviously didn't believe it.

Zhou Niantang nodded wildly: "Really, really."

"Then why did you mention that person?" Zhou Yunqi kept staring at her, determined to know the reason.

Zhou Niantang was extremely anxious. He wanted to tell the truth but couldn't. If he didn't give a better reason, he was afraid that Zhou Yunqi would target the male protagonist even more.

After thinking about it for the last moment, she could only whisper: "Because... Look, I don't like him."

At this point, she suddenly felt that this statement was not bad, and continued: "So I think it would be better to let him leave our house. Anyway, he is almost eighteen years old, and there is no need for our family to support him."

According to the system, in the normal timeline, the male protagonist is now working and studying, and he ranked first in the city in science in the college entrance examination and received a full scholarship from a key university.

The protagonist’s eighteenth birthday is still half a year away, but he has never been to school since he was taken to the Zhou family.

Zhou Yunqi changed her usual gentle tone towards her and said seriously: "Then sister will arrange for someone to send him away. As for this person, you should not think about him from now on. Do you understand?"

Whenever Zhou Yunqi thought about her sister's ending in her previous life, her hatred for Pei Shi would deepen. That was the deepest pain in her heart.

Her eyes were gradually filled with pain, and Zhou Niantang could see it. In recent years, her sister would occasionally look at her with such eyes.

She didn't understand before, but now that she knows Zhou Yunqi is reborn, in addition to feeling distressed, she is also a little worried about what the outcome of her previous life was that would make Zhou Yunqi, who originally had a cold relationship with her, treat her so well after her rebirth.

She came back to her senses. Zhou Yunqi just said to send him away. She quickly asked, "Where to send him?"

"Don't worry about it, I will take care of it." Zhou Yunqi was in a hurry to go to the company, and walked towards the gate after saying this.

Zhou Niantang's mind was working quickly. If he really sent the male protagonist to another place, he didn't know what Zhou Yunqi would do to him.

They couldn't continue to offend him!

"That's fine, sister. It suddenly occurred to me that instead of letting him eat for free, it would be better to let him do some work. I'll let him weed my flower bed."

She deliberately spoke in an innocent manner, but the thought that came to her mind at this moment made Zhou Yunqi even more suspicious.

Zhou Niantang's back was sweating. She grabbed Zhou Yunqi's hand and shook it: "Okay, the weather is hot recently, and I'm too lazy to do it myself."

Zhou Yunqi was dazzled by her, and as she was always afraid of her sister acting like a spoiled child, she could only respond reluctantly.

However, before leaving, she still instructed the servants at home to keep an eye on Pei Shi and not let him have direct contact with Zhou Niantang.

After watching Zhou Yunqi leave, Zhou Niantang returned to the sofa in the living room and slumped down on it.

Her mind was in a mess. It seemed that her sister would never let the male protagonist go easily. Things were much more complicated than she thought.

Aunt Zhang saw that she looked hopeless and thought she was feeling unwell, so she walked over and touched her forehead.

Zhou Niantang pursed her pink lips and spoke softly, "Aunt Zhang, what is Pei Shi doing?"

Aunt Zhang's heart skipped a beat. Why did the Second Miss always mention that child these past two days? But with Zhou Yunqi's instructions, she didn't dare to say too much in front of her.

"Nothing, Miss Second, you should have breakfast first. The doctor will come and check you again later."

Zhou Niantang then remembered that Aunt Zhang and the others had all been informed by Zhou Yunqi, so he could not get any accurate information from Aunt Zhang.

If she wanted to know, she could only find out for herself.

Why do I feel even more tired?

After lying down for a while, she got up obediently to eat breakfast, then took some medicine and had a check-up by the doctor. After confirming that there was nothing serious, it was already past ten o'clock.

It was midsummer and the sun was already scorching hot at ten in the morning. The sunlight outside the balcony was so blinding that she had to squint her eyes to see outside.

The balcony of her room has the best view in the entire villa. You can see most of the yard and the flower garden she has carefully tended.

Then, she saw a figure in a white T-shirt squatting in her flower bed, weeding.
