Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

The dark and damp cell was filled with a smell of decay.

Xue Hu lay dejectedly on the cold, moldy haystack, his face filled with resentment and unwillingness hanging over him like a dark cloud.

He pounded the ground hard, the dull sound echoing in the small cell, as if he wanted to vent out the anger in his heart through this punch. His fist was trembling slightly, and his knuckles were already red.

Endless resentment surged in his heart like a raging sea, and the first person he thought of was Queen Yun Xi.

He hated Yun Xi's arrogance and her unreasonableness.

He obviously looked thin, but he refused to let Yunying treat him; Chunyu obviously looked very fat, but he still wanted her to treat her.

If the Queen hadn't acted on her own initiative, how could he have ended up in such a situation!

"Humph, so what if you're the queen? If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this?"

Xue Hu kept cursing in his heart, and at the same time scratched his hair irritably. A few strands of hair entangled around his fingertips and fell off.

His brows were tightly furrowed and his eyes were full of anger, as if they could spit fire.

After scolding the queen, the female doctor Yun Ying also became the object of his resentment.

He felt that Yunying was meddling in other people's business. If it weren't for Yunying's meddling and discovering that Chunyu had eaten poisonous food, he would not have been suspected.

"Yun Ying, you're so despicable for ruining my good deeds." Xue Hu gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and his eyes were full of anger.

He sat up suddenly and kicked the wall next to him. It seemed that he had used up all his strength in that kick. The pain in his foot made him frown slightly, but the pain was far less than the resentment in his heart.

As for the maid Chunyu, his feelings were even more complicated.

On the one hand, he hated Chunyu's "betrayal." He thought he was almost able to marry Chunyu and use her to achieve great things, but now everything has come to nothing.

"Chun Yu, oh Chun Yu, I was so good to you, but you didn't know how to appreciate it and hurt me like this."

You are so fat, but I don’t mind you. Aren’t you satisfied?

I am a great scholar, and I am willing to condescend to be friends with a maid like you. You should be grateful!

You didn't listen to me, but instead joined the Queen and the others to harm me! You are nothing!

He invested so much time and energy in Chunyu, and was about to succeed, but failed at the last moment. He was also implicated as a scholar and was tortured. He simply could not accept it!

Xue Hu lay in prison, his hatred boiling like a flame that could not be extinguished. He was unwilling to accept his failure, but the incident of cheating in the imperial examination weighed on his mind, adding to his fear.

Xue Hu made a decision quickly.

This matter cannot be delayed!

Just in case, he decided to acknowledge Chun Yu.

No, I can't admit it! He said that the cakes were made by his mother, and he didn't know why his mother poisoned them.

My mother is already over 50 and not in good health. The doctor said she won't live for many more years. In this case, she might as well help her son before she dies.

The next day, Xue Hu was in the hall. When the gavel rang, he immediately prostrated himself and cried, "Sir, I didn't know that the cakes were poisonous! But most of the cakes were made by my mother. Can I ask my mother?"

An official in the hall sneered: "You unfilial son! Do you want to put the blame on your mother?"

Xue Hu was a little ashamed, and lowered his head to explain: "I am just seeking truth from facts and telling the adults the truth."

"Okay!" Another official said in a very easy-going manner, "Then bring your mother to the court."

Everyone present looked at Xue Hu with contempt: What a scumbag!

As a son, even if it is the mother's fault, you should take the blame on yourself, right? How can you do the opposite, wishing that it was the mother who made the mistake?

Xue Hu's mother was a thin woman who looked a little haggard.

She soon found out that her son had been taken away. She tried very hard to visit him in prison, but unfortunately failed. She was sad all night. This was the scholar that her whole family had spent all their efforts to cultivate!

This time she was suddenly told to go to class, and she ran away excitedly.

She doesn't care what she does in class, as long as she can see her son!

Seeing a group of yamen runners standing upright on both sides of the hall, Xue Hu's mother's knees suddenly weakened and she knelt down.

The official asked sternly, "Are you Xue Hu's mother? Did you make those cakes for Chun Yu?"

Xue Hu's mother trembled and replied: "My Lord, what kind of cake is it? I don't know!"

Xue Hu said hurriedly: "Mother, weren't you the one who made the cakes that my son gave to his friends before? You knew that after I gave them to Chun Yu, you stopped me from giving them to him. How could you have forgotten?"

Xue Hu's mother looked up at her son in surprise.

Seeing her son covered in blood, she burst into tears: "Son, you are a good scholar, how could you be beaten like this?"

Xue Hu shook his head desperately when he heard this and winked at his mother: "Mom, how could you forget? Those cakes I gave to Chunyu before were secretly taken from your kitchen!"

Xue Hu's mother saw her son winking at her, and she didn't know why, so she could only nod blankly and say, "Oh, I see."

Then she glared at him, "You little bastard! I was wondering why the cakes at home were getting less and less! Did you steal them and give them to that vixen? I thought they were eaten by mice!"

Xue Hu was a little excited when he heard this: "I'm on to something! This way, we're all safe!"

Release some rat poison before catching the mice, people all over the country do this!

He trembled and said, "Mom, it turned out that you were the one who put the rat poison there? No wonder Chunyu got poisoned after eating it!"

Xue Hu's mother became more and more confused!

How come Chunyu got the rat poison out of nowhere?

Oh, no, she was the one who put rat poison in the pastries, how did they end up at Chunyu’s place?

The old woman was suddenly startled: "Son, is it because Chunyu saw that you passed the exam and wanted to curry favor with you?"

That's just a maid! Her son is already a scholar, how could a maid dream of that?

Xue Hu rolled his eyes and pretended to be embarrassed: "Mother, Chunyu has not had enough food to eat since the Queen passed away. I feel sorry for her and help her from time to time."

After saying this, Xue Hu immediately kowtowed to the official of the Dali Temple: "Your Excellency is wise! I really send food to Chunyu from time to time because I feel sorry for her. I just didn't expect my mother to put rat poison in the food."

"What? That little bitch often eats the food you sent? Are you stupid? How can you explain it after doing such a thing? She is targeting you! Silly son, her target is not the cakes, but you!" Xue Hu's mother was very anxious.

"Mom, if this affects Chunyu's future, I am willing to take responsibility." Xue Hu said righteously.

"Are you stupid or not…" Xue Hu's mother was so anxious that she wanted to hit someone.

He finally escaped from slavery and worked hard to raise a scholar, but now he wants to find a slave woman? What's wrong? He feels uncomfortable not being a slave, right?

Is your brain flooded?
