I'm The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book

When it snows, I can't go anywhere.

Li Mingjin just punched in the room for a while in the morning.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, and the ground is covered with a thick layer. When the snow stops falling, the snow has to be shoveled. This snow is difficult to shovel.

Bored in the afternoon, Li Mingjin threw two sweet potatoes into the brazier, and sat and chatted with Luo Shuyu.

Luo Shuyu finished knocking a handful of pumpkin seeds, sat up straight suddenly, and told Li Mingjin of her doubts: "Your Highness, what is the identity of Mr. Chen?"

Li Mingjin turned the sweet potatoes in the brazier with a small iron rod. He suddenly wanted to give Luo Shuyu a taste of the roasted sweet potatoes he made: "Huh? Why did you ask this all of a sudden?"

Luo Shuyu: "Because I think it's a bit strange. First of all, he came to you suddenly, and he went to your family. Then I think his surname is Chen. I suspect that he may have something to do with my grandfather. I don't know if I'm thinking too much. "

Li Mingjin was taken aback by his suspicion, it was indeed a bit strange, but Chen Rong's identity had indeed been verified, and there was no major problem.

What's wrong with Chen Rong?Does he really have something to do with the Chen family?

Li Mingjin: "It's okay for you to think so, but the Chen family where Chen Rong lives doesn't seem to have much relationship with your mother's Chen family?"

Luo Shuyu: "Why don't you call Chen Rong over and ask? Anyway, if you are idle now, you are idle."

Li Mingjin: "Ask, I don't want people around me to have ambiguous identities."

After all, the two were action factions, and immediately sent someone to invite Chen Rong who was curled up on the kang to read.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Rong complained to them: "It's snowing so much, why don't you ask me to come over and eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

That's right, at this time, the sweet potatoes baked by Li Mingjin himself came out of the oven, and he was peeling off the scorched coat for Luo Shuyu, his fingers were stained black, Luo Shuyu actually said that the burnt yellow ones were delicious, don't peel them off.

Chen Rong thought to himself, this royal couple is very lively.

Li Mingjin pointed to the small basket placed aside: "If you want to eat, you bake it yourself."

Chen Rong didn't really want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so he sat down and drank the high-quality tea from Li Mingjin's place. They were all brought from the capital, and it would be a pity not to enjoy them.

Luo Shuyu asked him: "Mr. Chen, I heard from Dr. Lin that you were not feeling well the past two days. Are you feeling better now?"

Chen Rong said: "My brother made a fuss, nothing happened, just coughed."

After Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu shared a sweet potato, they cleaned their hands and drank tea with Chen Rong.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and for a while, I really didn't know how to speak.

Li Mingjin said suddenly: "Mr. Chen, the fourth prince recently checked an old case. This case may be related to the Yan family. I think you will be interested in this old case."

Chen Rong is still very interested in the case, and he is very sharp: "What kind of old case?"

In the eyes of others, he is knowledgeable and talented, and many people are willing to ask him to solve any difficult problems on weekdays.

Li Mingjin said while observing Chen Rong's reaction: "15 years ago, when General Wei was still in Gucheng, there was a major case of food being embezzled. There are many officials here, and even the Minister of the Household Department has been involved."

Luo Shuyu didn't say anything, but he observed very carefully. When this case was mentioned, the smile on Chen Rong's face froze for a moment.

Chen Rong also observed the expressions of the two of them, and took a deep breath: "You called me here today because you want to discuss the details of this case with me?"

Li Mingjin shook her head: "What do you think?"

Chen Rong: "Your Highness may wish to speak directly if you have something to say."

Li Mingjin: "Well, I know you are a straightforward person. I did investigate your identity when you entered my sect. There is no problem with your identity. The past is very simple, but the simple past is not enough for you To support my determination, I want to know if you are hiding it from us."

Chen Rong smiled in relief: "It turns out that His Highness has doubted my identity for a long time."

Yes, Li Mingjin suspected it, but he never confirmed it. This time, an old case popped up, and he figured it out right away, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to call Chen Rong over when Luo Shuyu mentioned it. Chen Rong got the correct answer.

Li Mingjin: "I don't want to know the reason for your joining my sect from other people."

What a smart person Chen Rong is, he looked at Luo Shuyu, this time he didn't call out his honorific title: "What about you?"

Luo Shuyu said: "I have the same thoughts as Your Highness."

Chen Rong picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Yes, I have a very close relationship with the Chen family."

Luo Shuyu saw that Chen Rong's expression began to sink, and he had a hunch that what Chen Rong was going to say next might not be as easy as he imagined.

If the Chen family returned to their hometown safe and sound, why would Chen Rong live in another family with the surname Chen?It's another form of anonymity.

Luo Shuyu tried to calm herself down: "The relationship is very close, who are you from the Chen family?"

Chen Rong said: "If seniority counts, I'm your cousin."

Luo Shuyu didn't expect to recognize relatives so quickly.

Li Mingjin: "Is that what you say? How do you prove that you are from the Chen family?"

Chen Rong said: "Wait for me for a while, I will send someone back to pick up some things. I thought about confessing my identity to you, but I never found the opportunity."

He asked the valet to go back and get things.

While waiting, Chen Rong told them some details about the "Gucheng Liangshang Case".

Chen Rong: "The Gucheng Liangshang case is actually far from being as simple as we imagined. There are still many details in it. Before my father left, I left a note in which he described the details of the Gucheng Liangshang case in detail. In fact, my father and other sentenced officials were framed by others. The whereabouts of those grains are still unknown. If someone uses that batch of silver, it must be related to this case. I went to the capital to investigate this matter secretly. But all the evidence has long been covered up, but I have also found a few people and found some evidence that is related to the Yan family. Four years ago, I was almost discovered during the investigation, so I went under your door."

Li Mingjin raised her eyebrows and said, "Can you hide in my house?"

Chen Rong said frankly: "In the beginning, I really meant it. At that time, the Third Prince's Mansion had little right and wrong and was not concerned by others. It was very suitable for me to inquire about some things secretly. However, I didn't expect His Majesty to give you a marriage. It changed my mind."

"You already knew about my relationship with you, but you didn't tell me." Luo Shuyu was a little angry, but he didn't know why he was angry.

A look of grief and indignation flashed across Chen Rong's eyes and he said, "I can't say, my grandfather was killed when he returned to his hometown, and I also survived by stealing away. Only the dead will not leak secrets, nor will they think about overturning the case."

Luo Shuyu's hands trembled slightly: "What did you say? My grandfather was killed on the way back home?"

Chen Rong recalled: "Yes, father and mother, everyone in the family was killed except me. I was hidden in the grass by my grandfather and father to escape the catastrophe. Later, by coincidence, I was rescued by a couple surnamed Chen passing by. Their My son caught a cold on the way and passed away, so he raised me as his own son, so no one knows my true identity, and I am actually happy that you guys doubt me because of my surname Chen today."

Luo Shuyu's eyes were red: "I don't know, I thought that after my mother passed away, my grandfather didn't contact me because my father died again."

Li Mingjin handed the handkerchief to Luo Shuyu: "Is this the truth?"

Chen Rong: "Yes, I went to the capital because I wanted revenge."

Li Mingjin frowned and said: "Why is the Chen family family destroyed, but no one knows?"

Chen Rongdao: "Someone has been forging signs that our Chen family is still alive. Although it is not perfect, it is enough to make it fake. Moreover, our Chen family is guilty. No one will notice the abnormality of our family. Even if there is an abnormality, they will I think it's normal, just like the third concubine, because of the long journey and the death of his mother, he is further away from us."

Luo Shuyu recalled the letter he found when he just came back: "Grandfather left a letter to mother before he left the capital. When he wrote this letter, did he predict his own future?"

Chen Rong: "Yes, I just didn't expect it to come so suddenly and so fast."

Speaking of this, the person who went back to the yard to get something came back, and it was a sandalwood box.

After Chen Rong opened it, he handed one of the jade pendants to Luo Shuyu: "This is our family's ancestral jade pendant, as long as our descendants of the Chen family have a piece, you too."

Luo Shuyu picked up the transparent jade pendant and nodded: "I have it too, it was left to me by my mother."

Chen Rong: "There is also a note and account book that my grandfather stuffed me when he hid me. I think that note is the reason why our Chen family can't survive."

Luo Shuyu wiped away her tears and asked, "Is my mother's departure also related to this?"

Not long after the accident in the Chen family, his mother died of sudden poisoning.

Li Mingjin: "Didn't mother-in-law be poisoned by Mrs. Liu?"

Luo Shuyu: "To be disrespectful, I have always felt that my father knew about my mother's poisoning, and after I learned that Mrs. Liu was poisoned, he always wanted to keep her, but later he suddenly supported her. I seem to have figured something out, it feels a bit like treating Mrs. Liu as a scapegoat, can we go to the nunnery and ask Mrs. Liu? Is there anything else she hasn't said?"

Li Mingjin was a little guilty. Mrs. Liu had already passed away, and it was impossible for her to come back to life.

It would be better to take advantage of today to tell the truth. After hesitating for a moment, Li Mingjin said: "Yu'er, there is something I haven't told you, and I won't keep it from you today."

Luo Shuyu looked at him in disbelief: "You also have something to hide from me?"

Li Mingjin: "I'm sorry, I thought it didn't matter if you didn't know, but today I don't want to hide it from you. It's about Mrs. Liu. Your father didn't want to send her to a good nunnery, so he hired a death row prisoner to replace her." killed her, and sent her back to Luo's hometown, but on the way back, she met bandits and died."

Liu is dead?

From Li Mingjin's point of view, it is true that Luo Shuyu could not be told about Liu's death, so as not to add to his troubles.

Luo Shuyu: "I'm not angry with you, but, is the truth about my mother's poisoning..."

Chen Rong: "Actually, I found something related to your father. I don't know if it will be useful to the truth about my aunt's death."

Luo Shuyu: "What did you find?"

Chen Rong: "Luo Renshou actually has contacts with the Yan family. I also discovered by accident that he is very slippery and cautious in doing things. It is difficult to catch him."

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu had already begun to accept Chen Rong's new identity.

In fact, Chen Rong has been with them in Gucheng for many years, and has already gotten along with them. Apart from concealing the identity of Chen's only son, he basically digs his heart out for them in other aspects. Now that they have spoken, it is more natural for the three of them to get along .

Li Mingjin: "I didn't realize this. If he has contacts with the Yan family, doesn't that mean that he has nothing to do with his mother-in-law?"

Luo Shuyu's heart felt cold at the moment. In his previous life, he still had expectations for this father. Now, the more he dug down, the more he discovered that he was an unfathomable person, and there were many unknown and dirty things hidden in him. Renshou is more terrifying than he imagined.

After proving his identity, Chen Rong felt relaxed, but now it was Luo Shuyu whose complexion was getting worse and worse.

The Luo family and the Chen family are a bunch of things.

It's not that Luo Shuyu didn't think about Liu's murder of his mother, it was Luo Renshou who instigated him to kill him with a knife.

Luo Shuyu guessed: "After the Chen family was wiped out, my mother was also murdered. Maybe Liu's poison would not have killed my mother, but if someone knew about her poisoning, and secretly wanted my mother's life, would it be possible to kill my mother?" The only one who knows this is Luo Renshou."

Chen Rong: "But you have no evidence."

Luo Shuyu: "There will be no evidence at all. Now I suspect that Liu's younger brother and that maid are staying on purpose. They are all direct evidence pointing to Liu. The instigator behind the scenes will escape completely. No one would think It's him."

Luo Renshou was the only one who could do this. Everything could only be arranged by him, there would be no one else.

If he is from the Yan family, then he and the Chen family are at odds!

If Luo Shuyu hadn't been reborn, all of this would have been covered up.

Since they came to Gucheng, the Luo family's affairs have paid relatively less attention. Now, Luo Renshou must also focus on it!

Luo Shuyu didn't expect to be pushed to this point step by step. His mother's death was just the beginning, and he suffered such misfortune because he blocked the way of others.

Li Mingjin tightly held Luo Shuyu's cold hand: "Don't worry, we will send someone to investigate carefully. If the Luo family and the Yan family collude, I will definitely not let them go."

The collusion between the Yan family and the court officials was deeper than what they knew. Fortunately, they discovered Chen Rong's identity in time.

Chen Rong: "How about this, Your Highness, since the fourth prince has already found out the Gucheng Liangshang case, why don't I guide them to find out more."

Luo Shuyu hurriedly stopped it: "No, you can't be in danger!"

I just confirmed that he is my relative, or maybe the remaining relative of the Chen family, so I can't watch him take risks.

Chen Rongqing coughed: "Don't worry, I finally reunited with my cousin so I won't make fun of my identity. I will send another person to contact the fourth prince secretly. The other party is also a victim of this case like me. I want to find out How many people are related to the Yan family behind this is a breakthrough to knock down the Yan family."

The reason why the Lin family fell quickly was because of lack of background, but the Yan family was different. It was too difficult to bring it down without a fatal reason.

Nowadays, Emperor Tiansheng can still suppress him. If Emperor Tiansheng leaves suddenly, the Yan family will definitely send the crown prince directly, and then it will be difficult for them to make a comeback.

Now that the matter was over, both Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu were willing to listen to Chen Rong. On this matter, he had been planning longer than them, he was more clear about the details than them, and his heart for revenge was stronger.

Chen Rong took his jade pendant back to his yard.

The sweet potatoes baked on the table were cold, Luo Shuyu broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth: "Your Highness, these sweet potatoes are not sweet anymore."

Li Mingjin wiped away his tears: "Then I'll bake another one."

Luo Shuyu nodded: "Okay."

At night, Luo Shuyu had nightmares at night due to her emotional ups and downs during the day.

For a while he dreamed of Li Mingjin covered in blood, for a while he dreamed of Luo Renshou who was slashing at him with a knife, and for a while it was his mother bleeding from all seven orifices.

Li Mingjin shook him awake: "Yu'er, wake up, you are having a nightmare!"

Luo Shuyu looked at him in confusion: "Your Highness, don't die, what will I do if you die?"

Li Mingjin didn't know what he dreamed about, so he could only comfort him: "As long as you live, I will live, and I won't die."

Luo Shuyu slowed down, leaning against his chest, unable to fall asleep, so she said to him crying: "Your Highness, tell me something embarrassing about you, so that I can be happy."

Li Mingjin pursed her lips: "I have nothing embarrassing."

Luo Shuyu: "Liar."

Li Mingjin: "Really not."

Luo Shuyu: "Liar."

Li Mingjin: "Does it count if my concubine wears girls' clothes for me?"

Luo Shuyu: "Forget it."

The two chatted nonchalantly, and fell asleep near dawn.

After crying for a while, when Luo Shuyu woke up the next day, her mood was much more stable.

It was snowing outside again, Li Mingjin went to the study, Luo Shuyu wanted to go to him after lunch.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw the third party passing by from the roof, and stopped him: "The third party, come down and ask you something."

An San immediately jumped in front of Luo Shuyu: "I don't know what orders the master has."

Luo Shuyu: "You have been with His Highness for so many years, do you know what embarrassing things he has done?"

An San asked him cautiously: "Master, can you give the little one a raise?"

Luo Shuyu chuckled: "Tell me about it first."

An San recalled for a moment: "The last time His Highness injured his leg, it wasn't from jumping off a cliff."

Luo Shuyu: "Huh? When we got married?"

An San nodded sharply: "Yes, His Highness jumped over the wall and twisted when he went to see you quietly at night."

Luo Shuyu looked very calm, turned around and walked towards the study, Li Mingjin happened to open the window, saw Luo Shuyu walking towards this side, jumped out of the window, and went to lead Luo Shuyu.

Li Mingjin asked him: "Yu'er, do you still eat roasted sweet potatoes today?"

Luo Shuyu lowered her head and stared at his feet without speaking. Li Mingjin saw the back of the mistress leaving on tiptoe like a thief, and her heart skipped a beat.

The author has something to say: Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, let’s be realistic today!

Luo Shuyu: Oh?

Third Prince: I am a doctor, and you are my patient. You asked me to see andrology. During the consultation, you fell in love with me at first sight, and you fell in love with me!

Luo Shuyu: All right.In fact, you are my substitute for Bai Yueguang...

Third Prince: How can you have white moonlight!

Luo Shuyu: I don't have a white moonlight.

Third Prince: No, you can't have white moonlight.

Luo Shuyu: Alright, let's start the game again.
