Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Before the cleaning servants arrived, Su Jingchen had already left with Leng Yuexing and gone to Leng Yuexing's room.

The servants cleaned the room regularly every day, so Su Jingchen naturally wouldn't let him see Leng Yuexing.

Because dinner was to be eaten with the manor owner and his wife, Leng Yuexing used her fox-clan charm to force Su Jingchen to calm down.

Afterwards, Su Jingchen told Leng Yuexing everything.

Leng Yuexing then learned the secret of this manor.

Su Jingchen was not killed by the butler, but by someone arranged by his father, the manor owner.

The reason is that the manor owner believes Su Jingchen is not his son.

The landowner's wife was a famous beauty in her youth, and countless men admired her, some even fighting over her.

The most competitive candidates were the manor lord and another nobleman. Both of them pursued her with all their might, but in the end, the manor lord's wife chose him.

After the manor owner and his wife got married, they lived a happy life.

But one day, this life was disrupted.

The nobleman's son came to the manor.

He stated frankly that he wanted to follow his father's last wish and stay by the side of the estate owner's wife.

The landowner's wife was very saddened when she heard that the nobleman had died, so she kept him on as the estate's steward.

When the manor lord saw how heartbroken his wife was about the death of the nobleman, he became suspicious.

Later, under the deliberate instigation of the housekeeper, he went to get a paternity test with Su Jingchen.

The result was what Li Zhengyi saw: the butler deliberately forged a paternity test report stating that the two were not related and gave it to the manor owner.

In a fit of rage, the manor owner ordered his son to be killed.

After Su Jingchen died, he learned the truth and then killed the butler.

After his death, the butler wanted to be with the manor owner's wife, so he killed the manor owner.

After hearing what had happened, Leng Yuexing remained silent for a long time. He silently hugged Su Jingchen, offering him silent comfort.

"So, if you want your father and mother to approve, you can tell them the truth."

“But this will make your mother very sad,” Leng Yuexing said hesitantly.

"It's better to be heartbroken than to be unaware of the truth."

Perhaps, Leng Yuexing thought, but whether or not the manor owner's wife knows the truth is something only she can decide.

With a few days left before choosing a bride, Leng Yuexing wasn't in a hurry.

Later, on the way to the restaurant, Leng Yuexing learned that the manor owner's wife had gone to check on Su Jingchen's room, and that Zhao Ping had deliberately exposed it.

He didn't expect that Zhao Ping and Chen Shaoyan would stop pretending and confront him head-on in order to stay in the apocalypse game.

Since that's the case, it's a good thing that Leng Yuexing no longer needs to feign politeness with them.

Upon seeing the manor owner's wife enter, he stood up and gave a graceful bow. Only after the manor owner's wife was seated did he sit down opposite Su Jingchen.

At this moment, Su Jingchen, who was invisible to everyone, sat in his seat, gazing affectionately at Leng Yuexing while resting his chin on his hand.

To avoid arousing suspicion from others, Leng Yuexing only smiled and glanced at him.

The manor owner's wife glanced at Leng Yuexing and asked casually, "Yuexing, where did you go this afternoon? I haven't seen you at all."

Leng Yuexing smiled slightly and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I've been catching up on sleep in my room all day."

He covered his mouth and yawned, his bright, fox-like eyes glistening with tears.

Sitting opposite him, Su Jingchen's eyes darkened slightly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt his mouth go dry as he thought of Leng Yuexing lying on the bed earlier.

The manor owner's wife believed Leng Yuexing's story. She had just heard from the servants that Leng Yuexing had come out of his own room.

Therefore, she said to Leng Yuexing with concern, "If you don't like that room, we can change you to another one."

Leng Yuexing politely declined the manor owner's wife's offer; he had no intention of changing rooms.

Su Jingchen said in a low voice, "Why don't you stay in my room?"

Leng Yuexing pretended not to hear him and did not answer what he said.

Seeing that Leng Yuexing ignored him, Su Jingchen chuckled softly, "It's okay, I'll come and catch you tonight."

Leng Yuexing responded to Su Jingchen with a threatening smile.

The two were exchanging words in silence when the manor owner strode in with steady steps.

Upon seeing Su Jingchen sitting next to him, he paused for a moment, then walked over as if nothing had happened.

This was the first time he had seen Su Jingchen since his death.

The thought that Su Jingchen was not his son filled him with immense anger.

Su Jingchen also ignored the manor owner. Even though his father had been deceived into killing him, he could not easily forgive him.

Leng Yuexing looked at Su Jingchen with concern. Su Jingchen shook his head at Leng Yuexing and then disappeared from her sight.

The meal was rather unappetizing, and after finishing dinner, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

As expected, Leng Yuexing found Su Jingchen in the room.

Thinking of Su Jingchen's mysterious identity in the dungeon, he felt a pang of heartache.

Leng Yuexing took the initiative to walk over and hug Su Jingchen, doing whatever she wanted to him.

The two had a wonderful night.

Leng Yuexing, who had spent the night hugging a human-shaped ice block, had a slight fever in the morning because her body had been chilled inside and out for a long time.

He took a fever reducer from his prop bag and then drifted off to sleep again.

Unbeknownst to him, the crowd discovered Li Zhengyi, who had been dead for some time, that morning.

His death was completely different from Zhou Xian's. Zhou Xian died from excessive blood loss, while Li Zhengyi died from being stabbed in the throat with scissors.

The butler still concluded that Li Zhengyi had committed suicide, and this time no one refuted him.

Zhao Ping, Chen Shaoyan, and Qian Duoduo were unaware of the cause of Li Zhengyi's death.

Qian Duoduo glanced thoughtfully at the housekeeper.

After dinner last night, he noticed that Li Zhengyi seemed distracted, so he went up to talk to him. Li Zhengyi only mentioned that the butler was a ghost, and didn't say anything else.

Unexpectedly, he was killed last night. Qian Duoduo has reason to suspect that the housekeeper killed Li Zhengyi.

However, he did not know the reason why the butler killed Li Zhengyi.

He searched the manor yesterday but found no clues. Today he plans to search other areas to see if he can find any clues.

On this day, Qian Duoduo was busy looking for clues, while Zhao Ping and Chen Shaoyan were still staking out Leng Yuexing, trying to find a way to frame him.

But they waited all day and still didn't see Leng Yuexing come out of his room.

After a day of rest, Leng Yuexing finally felt fully recharged. His fever had subsided, and he felt much better.

After learning that Li Zhengyi had been killed by the butler, Leng Yuexing decided to tell Qian Duoduo the truth so that Qian Duoduo could gain the approval of the manor owner and his wife.

As a result, Su Jingchen stopped him. Su Jingchen, who had always known about the manor's movements, told Leng Yuexing that Qian Duoduo had violated his mother's taboo, and even if he told him, he would still be unable to pass the level.

What taboo is it?

Su Jingchen paused for a moment before saying, "He was discovered to have entered my room."

"How did he find out? He must have used a prop," Leng Yuexing asked in surprise.

He wasn't surprised that Qian Duoduo entered Su Jingchen's room; after all, the more you're forbidden from doing something, the more you want to do it—that's human nature.

“My mother stayed in my room all day, and he was caught off guard when he walked through the wall, and my mother discovered him immediately.”
