Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

"A Ning, please stop standing there and help me pack all the things. You want to take the imperial examination in the future, so this is a good opportunity for you to gain experience. By the way, I was sick in bed a while ago, and you took care of me day and night. As a friend, it would be too polite for me to express my gratitude with gifts. It's a good opportunity for you to go with me this time and learn more valuable experience, which can't be bought with any amount of money!"

He looked like he was doing Ning Ning a favor, as if she had gotten a great deal. "Don't worry, I promised to lend you the book. I will definitely lend it to you after I finish the exam. By the way, I can also tell you the test questions this time. This is a rare good thing for you. You don't have to thank me too much."

But although he spoke affectionately, there was a hint of malice in his gaze as he stared at Ning Ning's busy figure.

It is really wishful thinking for a slave to dream of changing his fate by taking the imperial examination.

After he finishes the exam, he will frame Ning Ning, forcing him to sell himself into slavery and completely shatter his delusion.

He also reminded Ning Ning, "My brother is also going to take the imperial examination this time. You are close to his family, so please find out more about him for me. See what he has prepared, and you should also prepare for me. Don't fall behind."

"That thing is the same in the mansion. We prepared two for each person. Now the people in their courtyard hide when they see me, so it's not easy for me to get information."

"Oh, this is really——"

Chen Yiming frowned and kept complaining.

Although he looked down on the ancients in his heart, he was still very nervous and anxious when he really entered the examination room. Especially since he was not close to his family, he regarded the imperial examination as the basis for him to challenge his family, so he took it even more seriously.

In the first two days before the exam, he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep. He was also suspicious and always felt that others were trying to harm him.

"A Ning, I don't trust the food in the kitchen. Please buy me some food from the restaurant outside."

He didn't mention a word about money. According to his estimation, Ning Ning had enough money to buy a few meals.

He used to do this often, ordering the original body to do something that cost money, but he never paid her and pretended to have forgotten. He kept saying that he was friends with the original body, but the original body was too embarrassed to ask for money and could only use the money he had saved with great difficulty to pay for it.

But of course Ning Ning would not be embarrassed to him, Ning Ning was too embarrassed, he asked, "But the master has instructed that the food that the two young masters eat before the imperial examination must be more exquisite, even if the taste is mediocre, but it must be clean, and the ingredients must be eaten before. How can we say that the food in ordinary restaurants outside is reliable, why don't we eat the food prepared in the mansion."

"Oh, I'm just worried about the preparations in the mansion... Oh, I can't explain it to you."

Humph, he has read a lot of time-travel novels. Whenever the protagonist encounters such a big event, there will definitely be someone who jumps out to make trouble. For example, they would put drugs in his food to make him fall asleep, or give him a stomachache, or some other disease, so that he would fail the exam!

Since he was familiar with these tricks, how could he fall into the trap? Of course he had to buy it back specially to eat.

"Anyway, if it's not available at an ordinary restaurant, you can just go to a high-end restaurant and buy it back."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

Ning Ning agreed, and then stretched out her open hand in front of him, "Where's the money?"

"You...you ask me for money?"

"How novel! If you don't give me money, can I go to the Red Mouth and White Teeth Restaurant and get the best food?"

"You, can't you——"

"how?"

Ning Ning blinked in confusion, and suddenly seemed to understand, "Second Young Master won't let me pay for it, right? I don't have that much money. Besides, you are the young master, it's not right to use our servants' money."

Ever since he was beaten last time, this has almost become Chen Yiming's Achilles' heel, and he shuddered when he heard it.

"A Ning, why are you saying these meaningless things again? I've told you how many times what I think. Oh, it seems that you have misunderstood me, but there are too many things going on these past two days, and it's not convenient for me to explain them to you. I'll tell you in detail after the exam."

He was punished repeatedly and didn't dare to say anything like "we are as close as brothers and we are all equal". He simply gritted his teeth and gave it up. Anyway, when he passed the exam, he would frame Ning Ning and force him to stay in the Chen family as a slave.

Then he pretended to be helpless and watched Ning Ning suffer and fall into the abyss. Since he couldn't fool him, he didn't try to fool him for the time being.

He gritted his teeth and took out the money he had saved, "Here, take this money and go to the restaurant to buy me some food. You really misunderstood me. I know it's not easy for you to save money, so why would I use your money!"

"Oh, I misunderstood. Since you are not short of money, why don't you give me all the money you owe me?"

"I, when did I owe you money?"

Ning Ning had already sorted out the past few days and immediately spoke, "Two months ago, you wanted to eat dim sum on Wanfulu Road and asked me to buy it, but I didn't pay for it. I paid for it with my own money. And three months ago, you took a fancy to the folding fan in Jinxiu Tower and asked me to buy it, but I didn't pay for it. And half a year ago..."

After counting them one by one, Chen Yiming was overwhelmed, "No, Ning Ning, you don't have to calculate it so clearly!"

"As for me, I am a servant just for the monthly salary. I can't do the work and still have to pay for it. If the Second Young Master couldn't pay, he wouldn't have to buy those things in the first place! If the Second Young Master doesn't have money, I can only ask the Master for it."

"How dare you?! You, you, you are educated, yet you take these money-making things so seriously. I really misjudged you!"

"I do care about money, but the Second Young Master is a man of high moral character and integrity, so don't owe the servants money."

"Hmph, okay, you, don't regret it!"

Originally, if Ning Ning was the only one who suddenly said in the mansion that Chen Yiming used his money, most people would not believe it, and they would think that it was impossible for a young master to use the servants' money.

But after what happened before, when people in the Chen residence heard about this kind of thing, they would only think that Chen Yiming's old problem had come back and he should be beaten again.

So Chen Yiming had no choice but to grit his teeth and settle the account with Ning Ning. He gave Ning Ning all the money he owed, and then said unhappily, "You have nothing to say this time, right? Just go and buy it. Remember, if anyone asks you, just say that I want to eat something easy before the exam, and I like the dishes made by this chef. Don't say anything else. Remember this!"

Ning Ning took the money and turned to leave.

Chen Yiming sat in the room sulking. He knew that this would make his wife unhappy, but he didn't care. No one could hinder his path to success.
