Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

"Whoa--" A carriage was driving on the street. Suddenly, someone rushed out from the corner. The driver pulled the reins tightly in panic.

Then, "hiss~"

Shen Zhaozhao fell to the ground, grimacing in pain. It can only be said that when bad luck comes, it cannot be stopped. She was only focused on getting rid of the follower and did not notice the carriage coming.

When the rich young man's entourage saw her being knocked to the ground by the carriage, they were unsure for a moment and hesitated to move forward.

"What's going on?" A voice sounded from inside the carriage, and it was unexpectedly clear and pleasant, like the sound of pearls and jade, crisp and pleasant to the ear, or like the trickle of a clear spring, moist and penetrating.

The guard glanced at Shen Zhaozhao apologetically, and then replied to the people in the car: "Sir, I failed in my duty and accidentally knocked a girl down."

"Why are you so careless?" Just as the words fell, the curtain door of the carriage was opened and a handsome young man walked out.

He was wearing a scarlet official robe with a round collar, a peacock pattern on the chest, and a black gauze official hat with long wings on his head. It was obvious at first glance that he was an official of considerable status.

"Miss, are you okay?" As if afraid of being abrupt, he first covered his entire arm with his wide sleeves, then bent his waist slightly and stretched out his hand. His manners were gentle, elegant, and polite.

Shen Zhaozhao supported his arm and stood up, shaking his head and saying, "I'm fine."

For some reason, this gentleman gave her the feeling that he was a bit like Xie Yanshu. They both had the same image of a gentleman with a clear mind and a modest attitude, but this gentleman was more approachable, making it very easy for people to feel close to him.

The master tilted his head to look at her elbow, frowned slightly, and said softly: "The girl is injured, I will take you to the clinic!"

Just as Shen Zhaozhao opened her lips to speak, she was pushed aside by a brute force. After she staggered left and right to stand firmly on her feet, she saw the rich young master from the previous period using his fat body to rush straight towards the adult.

His eyes widened: "Cousin, why are you back?"

Mu Yang, a young master from a wealthy family, couldn't believe his eyes. His cousin Jiang Heng, who had been working in the capital, actually returned to Guangyang County and had not informed them in advance. It was also possible that his father did not tell him. Anyway, he just didn't know.

Shen Zhaozhao on the side was also surprised. These two people didn't look like cousins ​​at all.

As if remembering something, Mu Yang's expression became very worried: "Cousin, I have something to ask you, but I don't know if I should ask you this. Have you... have you been demoted?"

Jiang Heng laughed dumbly: "No, I just came back to do something. I sent a message to my uncle half a month ago. Didn't he tell you?"

Mu Yang was instantly furious and said angrily: "He didn't!"

He knew that his father must not have told him, and when he returned, he would definitely ask his father who his son was.

Jiang Heng understood in his heart that it seemed that his cousin had not changed his playboy habits at all, so his uncle didn't say anything to him.

Mu Yang's anger came and went quickly. He cried to his cousin whom he hadn't seen for a long time, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for two years. I miss you so much!"

My cousin's parents died early, so he was taken back to the Mu Mansion by his father and raised since he was a child. The relationship between him and his cousin can be said to be: not blood brothers but better than blood brothers.

The adult put his hand on his shoulder and patted him to comfort him: "Cousin, I miss you too, but I have something urgent to do now, can you wait for me..."

"No!" Mu Yang interrupted. How could anything in the world be as important as a greeting between two brothers?

"I'm in a hurry."

"I do not care!"

Jiang Heng held his forehead with his hand. His cousin was used to having his own way at home, and now the young master was in a bad mood and wouldn't listen to anything he said.

He struggled to move away slightly, but Mu Yang held him tighter.

Jiang Heng was helpless. He was now tied up by his cousin and couldn't get away. He couldn't let the girl wait for a long time, so he said to the guard: "Mingxu, take this girl to the clinic."

Shen Zhaozhao had actually just checked his elbow, and it was just a slight cut, nothing serious.

She waved at the guard named Mingxu: "I'm really fine."

Seeing Jiang Heng looking at her, she smiled at him again, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

"Girl, please don't leave yet!" Jiang Heng called her and said to Mu Yang, "Cousin, let me go first!"

Mu Yang was very angry because his cousin kept calling him a girl and ignored him completely.

He turned back angrily, wanting to see which girl had bewitched his cousin.

When he looked carefully, he was instantly overjoyed. He actually saw the girl who made him fall in love at first sight.

He was secretly delighted, thinking that the girl must have regretted her decision, so she came back to him.

"Girl, you..."

"Girl, let's go to the clinic!"

Mu Yang just opened his mouth when he was suppressed by another voice. He then realized that the girl his cousin was talking about was the girl in front of him. It seemed that his cousin wanted to take her to the clinic.

He rolled his eyes and volunteered, "Why don't you let me take this girl to the clinic?"

"no need."

"no need!"

Shen Zhaozhao and Jiang Heng said in unison.

Jiang Heng knew his cousin's character very well. He didn't take the man to see the girl out of kindness. He clearly wanted to take this opportunity to tease the girl.

"Hmph——" Mu Yang stomped his feet in anger. His cousin didn't help him at all.

Mu Yang looked very funny when he was so angry. Shen Zhaozhao couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for your kindness. I really didn't..."

Before she finished saying the word "thing", she felt someone yanking her clothes from behind her neck. Her body fell backwards and she hit a warm wall of flesh.

Shen Zhaozhao looked up in doubt and was met with a pair of clear, dark eyes. It was Chu Yu.

He smiled at Shen Zhaozhao, which gave her goosebumps all over her body.

Why is he here?

"Who is this?" Jiang Heng stared at Chu Yu with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

In this world, the abduction of women happens all the time. He just saw Chu Yu pulling Shen Zhaozhao in a not-so-gentle manner, so he was a little worried.

Shen Zhaozhao explained: "He is my brother." When you go out, it's always good to have a brother by your side.

Jiang Heng's expression relaxed and he gave Chu Yu a gentle smile.

Chu Yu glanced at him coldly, then turned and left with Shen Zhaozhao.

"Girl..." Jiang Heng's voice sounded behind her. Shen Zhaozhao wanted to turn back, but Chu Yu pulled her and walked faster, completely ignoring whether she could keep up or not.

Shen Zhaozhao lowered her head to look at the road and had no time to look at Jiang Heng behind her. She felt that Chu Yu was quite strange.

Along the way, she noticed four big words written on Chu Yu's face: I'm not happy.

She didn't know who made him so angry. It was really difficult for her to get along with such an unpredictable person.

Remembering that she was holding a cake in her hand, she flattered, "Junior brother, would you like some peach cake or osmanthus cake?"

Chu Yu turned around and gave her an innocent smile: "Isn't it my brother?"

Shen Zhaozhao was puzzled: "Isn't that what I said to them? Just now, that rich young master was here, and when I told him you were my brother, he naturally didn't dare to bother me anymore."

"Then why don't you tell me that I am your husband?" As soon as the words came out, Chu Yu felt a little annoyed. What was he talking about?

Shen Zhaozhao just wondered if Chu Yu had a brain failure today. Why would he ask her such a boring question?

Considering that he was in a bad mood at the moment, she patiently explained: "In the dungeon, I was afraid that you would abandon me, so I had no choice but to call you husband. Now things are different from the past, so of course I don't need to call you my husband anymore."

There is no choice.

Chu Yu repeated it in his mind. He felt a little annoyed and a little aggrieved when he heard these four words, but he didn't know why he felt this way.

A feeling of out-of-control frustration arose in his heart, and the root of all this was Shen Zhaozhao.

This can't go on any longer, Chu Yu's eyes turned cold. When they find Yu Ruyi, they will kill Shen Zhaozhao!

Shen Zhaozhao felt his whole body suddenly get cold and his nose started to itch.

"A-choo! A-choo!" He sneezed twice in a row.

Shen Zhaozhao rubbed her nose and turned to look at Chu Yu. She seriously suspected that he was secretly cursing her in his heart!
