Me! The cannon fodder male supporting role, it's reasonable for me to torture the protagonist t

"Aunt Lin, are you here to pay your respects to your aunt?" Yun Yi asked with narrowed eyes.

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter yesterday. I made some snacks for you today. I hope you don't mind."

As Aunt Lin was speaking, the maid behind her brought up a food box.

"Aunt Lin misunderstood, I didn't do anything." Yun Yi looked at the food box but didn't take it.

"Young Master, please don't refuse. Yuanyuan has already told me that it was because of your plea that the young lady let her go back to rest."

Because of the mutual body penetration incident, Jian Yuan had been in Jian Ran's yard yesterday. The message to others was that Jian Ran asked Jian Yuan to help embroider a purse.

Jian Ran had done this kind of thing to torment Jian Yuan many times, and the servants were used to it.

After midnight, when Jian Yuan returned to her yard and faced Aunt Lin's questions, she was afraid that her mother would worry, so she said that it was Yun Yi who helped to intercede, and only then did Jian Ran let her go back.

Yun Yi raised his brows slightly when he heard this, trying to understand the key point.

"Then I'll accept it." Yun Yi asked the servant behind him to take the food box and bring it to the carriage.

He turned and went into the courtyard to say goodbye to Yun Mingli.

Aunt Lin looked at Yun Mingli's yard, her eyes flashed, and then she turned around and returned to her own small yard.

"Mom, where have you been?" Jian Yuan asked when she saw Aunt Lin coming back from outside.

"Didn't you say that it was because my cousin interceded for you last night that the young lady let you go? I made some rice cakes for my cousin this morning as a thank you."

Aunt Lin took Jian Yuan's hand and said with a smile.

Jian Yuan opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. Her mother was just too kind, which was why everyone could bully her.

"Yuanyuan, today I saw my cousin, he is very handsome, I wonder if he is engaged?"

Aunt Lin suddenly asked about marriage, and a radar immediately sounded in Jian Yuan's mind, "Why are you asking this, mother?"

"Don't think about those messy things. He and the young lady have always been close. If there really is something going on between him and me, wouldn't I be suppressed by the young lady for the rest of my life?"

Now Jian Yuan just wants to marry an ordinary man, escape from this home with her mother, and live her own ordinary life.

But it was obvious that Aunt Lin didn't think so.

She lived an ordinary life, but without the support of money, her ordinary days would be filled with endless quarrels.

The prime minister's youngest son can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory even if he has mediocre abilities. His daughter will not suffer if she marries him, and with the prime minister around, his daughter can be protected and live a safe life.

As for whether Yun Yi will treat her daughter sincerely.

Aunt Lin said that she had her own way to make Yun Yi love Jian Yuan forever.

-

After Yun Yi returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yun Hui called him over immediately and asked about what Jian Ran wanted to see him about.

Yun Yi did not hide anything and told him everything, including what happened with Li Mo Ci.

Yun Hui was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that Yun Yi and Jian Ran had swapped bodies, but how did the Third Prince and Jian Yuan get involved?

"Brother, you don't have to worry. The Third Prince sent someone over early in the morning to tell us to mind our mouths. I think he doesn't want anyone to know about this. Just pretend you don't know." Yun Yi waved his hand and said.

Yun Hui looked at Yun Yi's indifferent expression and sighed deeply.

Strange things happen every year, especially this year.

I used to think that those weird stories in folk storybooks were all fictitious, but now it seems that they might all be true.

"There is one more thing, come and see, brother."

Yun Yi took the food box and put it on the table, patted it, smiled and said, "This is the rice cake that Aunt Lin gave me before I left Shangshu Mansion this morning."

"What's so strange about rice cakes?" Yun Mingcang had already sent people to investigate whether Aunt Lin was the Holy Maiden of the Western Regions, but there was still no result after only two days.

Yun Yi brought out the plate and crushed a piece of rice cake with chopsticks.

In addition to rice flour, this rice cake also contains some uncrushed rice, which is mixed in to provide texture. This method is not uncommon, and many chefs in the Li Dynasty know how to make it.

And as Yun Hui looked at him in confusion, Yun Yi picked up a grain of rice and threw it into the teacup.

"What exactly do you want to do? Can you please stop keeping me in suspense?"

Yun Yi said nothing and handed the teacup to Yun Hui.

I saw the grain of rice floating on the water, and in the blink of an eye it grew a head and a tail and turned into a small insect.

"What...what's going on?"

"Brother, you are well-read in the books of sages, so it's normal that you have never seen this bug." Yun Yi said as he went to the bookcase nearby, flipped out a slightly yellowed book, and found one of the pages. "I am an idle person, but I have read a few more miscellaneous books than you, brother."

Yun Hui realized the seriousness of the matter, and without waiting for Yun Yi to bring the ancient book to him, he took it and read it.

There was a picture of a bug on the book that looked 70% similar to the one in the teacup, and there was also a description of the bug next to it.

"insanity?"

"Brother, do you think it is more likely that the rice in the Shangshu Mansion is moldy and has bugs, or is it more likely that Aunt Lin is really the Saint of the Western Regions and knows witchcraft?"

Yun Yi teased the little bug in the teacup with chopsticks and asked with interest.

In a short while, the little bug had eaten the entire tea leaf bit by bit, and its body grew much bigger.

Yun Hui's head buzzed. He had heard of Miaojiang witchcraft, but that was only hearsay. Now seeing it with his own eyes, he found it unbelievable.

"Mrs. Lin wants to put a curse on you? Why?"

Yun Hui couldn't understand why Yun Yi and Aunt Lin and her daughter had never had any interaction.

It is true that Jian Ran and Yun Yi have a good relationship, but it was Jian Ran who bullied Jian Yuan. Even if she wanted to take revenge, Yun Yi would not be the first one to be targeted.

"Who knows?"

Yun Yi spread his hands and smiled, "Perhaps, we are just worrying too much. Maybe my uncle is so honest and frugal that he would not throw away the rice at home even if it was infested with bugs."

"Or maybe my aunt couldn't stand Aunt Lin, so she deliberately asked the kitchen to give her rice with bugs in it."

Yun Yi spoke randomly, but the more he spoke, the more Yun Hui felt that the insect was most likely a poisonous insect.

The person who put a curse on Yun Yi might have some plans for him.

But what was there about Yun Yi that made Aunt Lin plot against him?

Yunhui couldn't figure it out, but he knew that he had to let his father know about this, and at the same time he had to not act rashly and alert the enemy.

Aunt Lin has the poisonous insect in her hand, so is there anything else more powerful?

Is it dangerous for my aunt and cousin to live with her every day?

We have to tell the truth about Yunhui. In the plot, the illness of Jian Ran and her daughter came from the secret medicine in Aunt Lin's hands.

Yun Hui is about to return to Jiangnan for the imperial examination. In addition to Yun Yi, Yun Mingli and Jian Ran will also be traveling with him.

Although Yun Mingli is a daughter who married out, it is reasonable for her to return to her hometown to worship her ancestors.

Jian Fan and her had long been tired of each other, and out of sight, out of mind, so he agreed without thinking too much.
