I became the male protagonist's cannon fodder wife, I rebelled

That day, Cha Yiyi sat in the pavilion at the end of the winding corridor, listening to the maids in Mo Jingzhou's house talking about the gossip about the brothel girl.

"I heard that the brothel girl named Xiang Ning was a pure prostitute, selling her art but not her body. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, and she was also very beautiful. No wonder the head of the You family couldn't resist the temptation and took her home."

The maid who was speaking was named Luohua, about fifteen years old, with pretty eyes and delicate features. She was talking about gossip with great enthusiasm while peeling fresh lychees for Cha Yiyi.

"This is indeed explosive."

Cha Yiyi nodded and commented.

"Tea girl, what does explosion mean?"

Luohua is at an age where she is eager to learn, and she likes to ask questions when she encounters something she doesn't understand.

“It means beyond human cognition.”

Luohua nodded thoughtfully, then continued to concentrate on gossiping.

"It is said that after Patriarch You brought Xiang Ning home, they stayed in the same room that night, and Patriarch You didn't leave until the next morning!"

Cha Yiyi nearly choked on the lychee flesh in her mouth. After taking a big gulp of tea, she asked in shock, "Is this true?"

"Said the maid who kept watch at the secluded mansion."

No way, this is completely different from the plot in the original book.

When a man and a woman are alone in a room, even if nothing really happens, it is still ambiguous to others.

Given Bai Xueruo's personality, she will definitely not give up.

"Then how did Madam You react?"

Luo Hua tilted her head and frowned, "Then I don't know."

Cha Yiyi signaled Luohua not to peel the lychees anymore. She raised her hand and pointed to the wisteria tree not far away, her tone light.

"Why is there a swing on that wisteria tree?"

Luohua looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she leaned close to Cha Yiyi's ear and reminded her mysteriously.

"Miss Tea, I advise you not to go near that wisteria tree. It might bring bad luck."

"So outrageous?"

"It's true."

Cha Yiyi supported her chin with her hand, her brows slightly raised.

"I see. Go ahead and do your work. I'll sit here alone for a while."

Luohua lowered her head and retreated, her slender back looking particularly graceful.

A question flashed through Cha Yiyi's mind for a moment: how could a fifteen-year-old girl have such a sexy and enchanting figure?

But before she could think about it, Xiao Mi suddenly jumped onto her legs.

[Host, headquarters has sent a mission. ]

【What mission? 】

【Save Xiangning's life.】

The expression on Cha Yiyi's little face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she held the kitten in front of her with an expressionless face.

"I can't even protect myself, so why should I save others? Headquarters doesn't treat me as a human being, right?"

[No, no, no! Host, in view of your excellent performance, headquarters has not only assigned you a mission this time, but has also prepared a reward for you.]

The girl's expression softened slightly.

【What reward? 】

[Choose one between the method of blinding the eyes and the root of spiritual energy.]

【Xiao Mi, I need a detailed explanation.】

[The Blindness Technique can make the two small horns on your forehead completely invisible to anyone; the Spiritual Energy Root can give you the opportunity to absorb spiritual energy and become a cultivator. You can choose any of these two rewards.]

He meows!

Cha Yiyi really wants to exude fragrance at this moment!

[Xiao Mi, I want both rewards, what should I do? ]

[Host, don't be too greedy~]

Cha Yiyi took a deep breath.

【I choose the method of deception! 】

【OK! Activate the deception method! 】

As Xiao Mi finished speaking, Cha Yiyi felt a slight itch where her little horns grew, and she raised her hand to touch it in confusion.

Unexpectedly, the place where there should be "obstacles" is actually smooth and delicate.

She was instantly overjoyed, lifted one side of her hood with her little hand, and hurried to find Xiao Mi to confirm the situation.

[Xiao Mi! Xiao Mi! Look! Is the little horn on my forehead gone?]

[Yes, host, the illusion has hidden it.]

Cha Yiyi was so happy that she kissed Xiaomi on the head several times, and the dark clouds that had been hanging over her head for days finally dissipated.

She stood up and walked towards the room with Xiao Mi in her arms, her steps light and cheerful.

"Xiao Mi, when we get back to the room, let's sort out the whole story about Xiang Ning. We'll set off for the You family mansion tonight!"

………………

Another bright moon hung high in the sky, and Cha Yiyi swaggered out of the Mo residence wearing the cloak given to her by Mo Jingzhou.

She agreed to lend Youlan Shang's "Starry Shadow" to Mo Jingzhou for three days, so now she had no choice but to choose a dark blue cloak to cover herself.

The system headquarters didn't give many clues about Xiang Ning's matter, but it was enough for her to figure out the whole story.

Ever since Youliangchuan brought Xiangning back to Youzhai and lived in the same room with her, Bai Xueruo was heartbroken and ran to Youlanshang to cry.

Seeing the woman he loved crying, Youlan Shang certainly would not sit idly by. He agreed to Bai Xueruo's unreasonable request.

Get rid of Xiangning!

So, it's time for Cha Yiyi to go against the male protagonist again.

Although she didn't quite understand the direct connection between protecting Xiangning and being a villain, the headquarters had already issued the mission, so she could only complete it first.

Cha Yiyi did not choose to use the cheat to teleport to the secluded house, but took Xiao Mi with her and walked through the busy streets to the secluded house.

Mainly, she wanted to hear what the NPCs thought about the recent 'big events', perhaps she could get more valuable information.

Sure enough, she heard a lot of gossip along the way.

Of course, there are also hers among them...

"Hey, what do you think will happen if the young lady of the You family is caught and flees for fear of punishment?"

"Didn't Master You take the blame for her crime and receive fifty lashes? He was even locked up in a secret room. If he's really caught, it will all depend on how Master You punishes Madam You..."

"Hahahaha... That's right! As a man, there's only one way to punish a woman..."

"I advise you to keep your voices down. If You Lan Shang finds out that you're talking about him behind his back, he might pull out your tongues and feed them to the dogs!"

"Brother, thank you for the reminder, but the You family has been in trouble recently. Not to mention Madam You, even the head of the You family did something ridiculous, bringing prostitutes from a brothel to his home. What kind of talk is that?"

"Speaking of this matter, I accidentally heard an inside story."

"What's the inside story?"

"It is said that the head of the You family allowed that prostitute to live in the 'Desolate Pavilion'."

"Desolate Pavilion? Isn't that the You family's forbidden area? I heard there are extremely resentful monsters in there..."

Cha Yiyi stood under the high wall surrounding the secluded mansion, her mind full of the gossip she had just heard.

It turned out that You Lan Shang was not punished because of her involvement, but was punished directly for her crime...

Also, the original novel rarely mentioned the "Desolate Pavilion". She remembered that at the end of the novel, it was not stated what was locked up in the Desolate Pavilion...
