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

The butler brought a glass of warm milk to the manor owner's wife's room.

Usually at this time, the manor owner's wife would be in the greenhouse, but for some reason, she's staying in her room today.

He gently placed the milk on the table in front of the estate owner's wife.

He looked up at the manor owner's wife and found that her eyes were red, clearly from crying.

He asked with some concern, "Madam, what happened?"

The landowner's wife looked at the butler who had always been exceptionally obedient to her.

She saw all the care he showed her.

But I never expected him to do something like this.

Thinking about this, the landowner's wife lost her usual rationality.

She stood up, picked up the milk from the table, and splashed it on the housekeeper's face.

Then her tears streamed down her cheeks, falling onto the ground in front of the butler.

The butler, oblivious to the dirt on his face and clothes, saw the mistress of the manor shed tears.

He instantly pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to the manor owner's wife; the handkerchief still carried his body heat.

He said with concern, "Madam, please don't be too sad. Take care of yourself."

He felt that his wife was saddened by Su Jingchen's death.

Then he heard his wife angrily question him, "Why did you forge Jingchen's paternity test report? Don't you want him to be alright?"

The butler looked at his wife in shock, not understanding how she knew about this.

Who exactly told the lady?

Thinking of Leng Yuexing, who was with Su Jingchen, he instinctively felt that it must have been Leng Yuexing who told the Madam.

He stared directly at the landowner's wife, his eyes filled with pain.

"Madam, my true intention was not to kill Su Jingchen, but to make Master divorce you!"

"But I didn't expect that the master would rather kill Su Jingchen than divorce you."

The landowner's wife seemed to have heard something unbelievable. She asked in shock, "Divorce? Why do you want us to get a divorce?"

Seeing the lady's expression, the butler knew that he loved her, but she was completely unaware of it.

He stepped forward, grasped the manor owner's wife's shoulders with both hands, and said with deep affection, "Madam, I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you!"

"I want you to divorce the master and then be with me!" A stubborn look gradually appeared in the butler's eyes.

The lady of the manor looked at the butler in shock; she truly had no idea that the butler harbored such feelings for her.

"I'm eighteen years older than you! How could you..."

The estate owner's wife simply couldn't understand how the butler could fall for a woman eighteen years his senior.

She's almost old enough to be his mother!

The butler looked at the lady of the manor with deep affection, "You are older than me, so what? I fell in love with you at first sight, and I will not give up on you because of your age!"

The landowner's wife staggered to a chair behind her and glanced at the mirror on the table.

In the mirror, she had only a thin wrinkle at the corner of her eye.

Although she is over forty years old, time seems to have stood still on her face; she still looks very young.

Her exposed skin had a rosy glow due to proper skincare.

She pursed her lips, tears instantly welling up in her eyes, and sobbed, "So, all of this is my fault?"

The butler was heartbroken upon hearing this, and he rushed over to hug the lady of the manor.

He said with great heartache, "Madam, blame me if you must. If I hadn't forged the paternity test report, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"

The moment the manor owner's wife was embraced by the butler, she struggled free and shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Upon hearing the manor owner's wife's angry shouts, the butler released his grip on her.

He knew that his wife did not want to see him right now, and thinking that he should give her some time, he silently walked out.

He had plenty of time, and one day he would get the lady to accept him, the butler stubbornly thought.

With the remaining days gone by, Leng Yuexing had already gained the approval of the manor owner and his wife, so he and Su Jingchen spent a few warm and pleasant days together.

When Zhao Ping and Chen Shaoyan discovered that Leng Yuexing wasn't busy with the quests but instead spent her days wandering around the manor, they both felt that Leng Yuexing's attempt to complete the dungeon had undoubtedly failed, and they were secretly delighted.

On the seventh day, the day of choosing the bride, the three of them stood in the hall, waiting for the arrival of the manor lord and his wife.

Zhao Ping and Chen Shaoyan waited excitedly, hoping that when the manor owner announced that no one had been chosen as the bride this time, they could successfully stay in the apocalyptic game and gain immortality!

After a short while, the manor owner and his wife arrived in the hall.

This time, the manor owner's wife did not hold the manor owner's arm, and the distance between the two was quite large.

Behind the two was the butler carrying a tray with the wooden tokens they had been given when they first entered the game.

The manor owner's wife smiled faintly as she looked at Leng Yuexing and the other two and said, "Today is the last day of our agreement, and also the day to choose a bride. After the bride is chosen, a ghost marriage ceremony will be held."

"Let's announce the bride now!"

After the manor owner's wife finished speaking, Zhao Ping and Chen Shaoyan looked at her excitedly, waiting for her to say the words "there is no bride."

However, the lady of the manor did not reveal the answer directly. Instead, she went directly to the butler and examined the wooden plaque on the tray.

When she saw the wooden sign with the three characters "Leng Yuexing" written on it, she smiled as expected.

She picked up Leng Yuexing's wooden plaque and held it up in front of the three of them.

He smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, in addition to my and the master's approval, the choice of bride also requires Jingchen's consent."

"And the name on the wooden plaque of the person Jingchen likes will turn red."

She smiled and said, "So, the bride in the ghost marriage is... Leng Yuexing!"

Zhao Ping and Chen Shaoyan looked at the manor owner's wife in shock upon hearing this.

Leng Yuexing wandered around the manor every day without ever having any contact with the manor owner or his wife. How did he gain their approval?

The two were filled with immense panic. Leng Yuexing had been chosen as the bride, which meant their mission had failed, and they only had two chances left.

If Leng Yuexing clears the next dungeon as well, he will become a planet guardian and return to Earth!

Thinking of this, the two felt extremely anxious.

Suddenly, Zhao Ping remembered his original idea: if Leng Yuexing was chosen as the bride, he would use the prop [Narcissus] to replace her.

Therefore, Leng Yuexing's attempt to complete this instance will also fail!

Thinking of this, the restless Zhao Ping calmed down.
