I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

Yueying thought about it and felt that as long as she didn't stay in the Yan family, she could be a Thumbelina.

After all, I had maliciously speculated at the beginning that she might have been reborn and knew that she could use the Yan family as a stepping stone.

Seeing the skinny little Jing Yixiue catching rabbits in the woods without any skills, Yueying made a gesture and helped her catch the rabbit.

"Finally caught."

The little girl grabbed a stone nearby and knocked the rabbit to death with it. Then she started a fire and began to prepare the rabbit and roast it.

Yueying sighed, walked stealthily to where Jing Yixiu was, and quietly put down a bag of silver.

After the heroine finished eating the rabbit meat, she carefully wrapped the remaining part in leaves and put it in her arms.

After walking a few steps, she found a purse. When she opened it, it was full of small change. The girl looked around, took out all the silver and put it into her sleeves.

Two years passed in a blink of an eye. Except for two attacks in the first half of the year, it was not known whether Yan's father defeated the enemy or the other party gave up. Later, the Yan family was safe and sound.

After wandering for two or three months, Jing Yixiu was unexpectedly taken in as a maid by another young lady from an aristocratic family.

In order to be on the safe side, Yueying has been practicing martial arts desperately in the past two years.

Although her physical physique was not good, it had improved a lot after using some spiritual spring water. Combined with the cultivation techniques, Yueying could basically fight ten masters at once by using hidden weapons.

But this is not the most important thing.

"Alliance leader, there are unusual movements in the Sheng family you are keeping an eye on. They have been entering and leaving the palace frequently recently."

Yueying, wearing a mask, sat in the top-floor box of the Higanbana Building, listening to the reports from her dark web through the screen.

"Where is Sheng Shize?"

"He still stays at home and only devotes himself to martial arts research."

"Keep an eye on him. Whenever he goes out, have someone follow him closely."

"I obey my orders."

"Go down."

About an hour later, another man came into the room.

"Alliance leader, the Blade Ten is full, and two people passed the Dragon Gate yesterday."

“It didn’t lower the difficulty, did it?”

"Everything is strictly carried out according to the leader's requirements."

"Let them in."

Jueyi opened the door, led in two young men, and asked them to kneel in front of the screen.

"You two drink this introductory tea, and from now on you will officially become assassins of the Weiying Sect."

"Thank you, Lord, for the tea."

"Jue, Jian, and Ren... let's call them Feng Yi and Feng Er."

"Thank you for the name, Lord."

"Okay, you go down."

In the past two years, Yueying used his witchcraft and poison techniques to establish three organizations in the martial arts world.

One is the Dark Web, an organization that searches for intelligence. The other is Huangquan, a killer organization.

These people were basically recruited through legitimate means. In order to prevent them from being betrayed, Yueying used Gu to control them.

The third group is the death squad. These people are looking for evil people everywhere. There are many masters among them. If they use Moon Shadow Poison at the same time, they will not be afraid of not being able to control them.

These preparations are made just in case. After all, in this martial society, it is hard to say that the Yan family will be safe for the rest of their lives unless the heroine wipes out the entire family.

After listening to the reports from the leaders of the intelligence organization and the killer organization, Yueying went to the death squad camp that he had trained personally.

To be honest, with money and the ability to control people, Yueying didn't have to spend too much effort to establish these organizations.

Take the most difficult Death Squad for example. There were many evil guys in it. Yueying used poison and witchcraft to make them feel like they could neither live nor die. No one dared to resist.

"Alliance leader, today's group is the evil group."

"Ah."

Yueying randomly picked three people out of the ten people named with the word "Sha" and took them into the mechanism room for examination.

After an incense stick of time, all three came out, but one of them was seriously injured.

"An Yi, the training of the death warriors cannot be slacked off,"

The test room was designed by Yueying and was filled with hidden weapons and mechanisms. The difficulty level was basically controlled at the level of an average expert.

Her requirements for the death warriors were not too high, but not low either.

"I obey my orders."

Yueying glanced at the seriously injured soldier and threw a bottle of medicine to him.

"Let him rest for two days first, and then strengthen the training."

"Yes."

As a person who used to make up her mind dozens of times to go to the gym, Yueying has pushed herself hard in the past two years. She has her own space and is not afraid of being hunted down, but if she wants to protect a large family, she can only practice martial arts hard every day.

"What's going on at home?"

When Yueying returned home, she found many gift boxes piled in the yard, and her fellow disciples were standing in a circle looking around.

"It seems that a distinguished guest has come to the capital."

"Junior sister, I see from this posture that he is here to ask you for marriage, right?"

"So will I not be able to see Senior Sister anymore?"

"My junior sister is getting married in the capital, so I can go to the capital to see her, right?"

"You're dreaming. Think about how many times can you travel far in a year?"

The more they talked, the more outrageous it became. Yueying watched as they ignored her and discussed the matter heatedly, and she couldn't help but sigh, are these true fellow disciples?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of teacups breaking in the house.

"what happened?"

Everyone rushed forward and blocked the door.

"You old bastard, if you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you."

"My Lord, I am really a coarse girl, and I am not worthy of the young master."

As soon as the strict father finished speaking, he saw Yueying appear at the door in a tight suit.

He frowned and signaled his daughter to leave quickly. Yueying understood the look and prepared to leave.

"Junior sister, the young master of Pingning Marquis's Mansion is here to discuss marriage with you, why don't you go in and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Yueying could only stop awkwardly, then turned around and walked inside with a smile.

"Daddy, Lord."

After the ceremony, Yueying lowered her head and glanced sideways, her eyes directed at Mingshuang.

This senior sister has been like a mutant tea artist over the past year, often pretending to be tactless and stabbing me in the back.

"Is this Miss Yan? Look up."

Yueying looked up and saw the old marquis was startled, then nodded.

"Well. Are you willing to marry into my Pingning Marquis Mansion?"

The Yan family is a commoner family, which is considered to be a declining one among the aristocratic families. When the prince of a marquisate marries a wife, he must choose one from a large family or a family of officials. Why would he choose one from his own family?

It is obvious that there is a conspiracy. This marquis's mansion is probably a pit of fire and I cannot jump into it.

"My Lord, my daughter is not gifted and has no talent. How can she be worthy of the prince?"

"If you really feel you are not worthy, then just be a concubine."

Yueying wanted to call him an old man, but a concubine? Isn't that just a concubine that sounds nicer?

"I don't want to be a concubine."

"Your Yan family is so arrogant. My son doesn't want to marry her in a formal ceremony, and he doesn't want to be her concubine. Do you think my mansion is not good enough for you?"

This scene did not exist in the original text at all, and Yueying didn't know whether it was the strict father who helped the original owner to block it.

She suddenly thought of a possibility that the extermination of the Yan family was related to the marriage proposal from the Marquis' Mansion.

Yueying quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"I am terrified. If the prince really likes me, I would be willing to marry him."

"Ying'er!"

The strict father had made up his mind to refuse, but he didn't expect his daughter to agree.

How could he not know that the Marquis had come with bad intentions? He was really worried that his daughter would marry up and he would not be able to protect her at all.

"Well, Miss Yan is still straightforward,"

The old marquis's expression changed quickly, and he immediately put on the smile of a kind old man, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yueying was also full of kindness.

"Father only has me as his daughter. There must be someone to inherit the Yan family. This is what Father should consider."

"If you can give birth to a second son for the prince, you can let him inherit the Yan family."

"This is the promise made by my mansion."

The strict father frowned, he never thought that the Marquis would actually make such a concession. Even if the Marquis's Mansion had fallen into decline, they were still officials and powerful, and would never let their children, especially the legitimate son, become a commoner.

"Then Ying'er has absolutely no objection to the marriage."

"Keqin, since the child is willing, let's talk about the details of the marriage."

Yueying faced her strict father with a smile and nodded.

"Well, let's do this. You go down with the brothers and sisters, and I will discuss the details with the Marquis."

Seeing this, the onlookers stepped back and the small groups began to discuss their own opinions.

Two days later, the strict father called Yueying to talk alone.

"Ying'er, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to say that the Marquis came to propose marriage this time, probably for the Yan family's martial arts."

"A hundred years ago, our Yan family was considered a martial arts master, but later there was a family strife and some of the martial arts secret manuals were destroyed, so we fell into decline."

"Is this the reason why no one can break through the sixth level when practicing the Yan family's skills?"

"Yes, it is the mental method that was lost a hundred years ago. It must be practiced together with martial arts techniques to be considered a complete Yan family technique."

"If that's the case, why does the Marquis still want the current Yan family skills? Several generations have not broken through to a high level in the past hundred years. Theoretically, it has proved to everyone that the Yan family did not lie."

"This is exactly what I, your father, cannot understand. The Marquis himself has kept silent about the dowry, so I can only take the initiative to express that I will send the Yan family's skills to the Marquis' Mansion as a dowry."

In the original text, the prince of Pingning Marquis's Mansion never got married. He later failed in resisting foreign enemies with the male protagonist, and was beheaded by the emperor in tears after returning to Beijing.

Theoretically speaking, Hou Fu is a positive character.

"Father, the wedding is still half a year away. Why don't I go to the capital and find out what the real reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is in the capital?"

"This……"

"Anyway, I haven't been away from home for a long time, so I'll take my two junior brothers and sisters to travel around the world and see some new things."

"Well, Dad knows you have your own ideas, but remember not to go out for too long, okay?"

"One month, maybe two months at the most."

She would definitely make a quick decision, after all, she was worried that if she was away for too long, something might happen to the Yan family and she wouldn't be able to get back in time.

The junior brothers and sisters chosen by Yueying were her own people who were arranged to enter the Yan family. Otherwise, she might not be sure of them and it would be inconvenient.

She arrived in the capital city in a few days and first went to her base in the capital, a shop specializing in green plants.

It is not appropriate for a foreigner to open a flower shop or a restaurant in Beijing, but planting green plants is a good idea. It is a business that the rich and powerful need to show off their elegance, but it is not a particularly profitable or eye-catching business.

"Alliance leader, we have been keeping an eye on the Marquis' Mansion these past few days and have not found anything unusual, except that the old Marquis returned home two days ago and punished the young master by making him kneel in the ancestral hall for a day."

"The prince refuses marriage?"

Yueying saw the leader of the Dark Web glance at her and hesitated to speak, so she guessed that he might be afraid of losing face.

"Yes."

"According to you, what is the temperament of this prince?"

"The prince often hangs out in brothels, but he won't stay out drunk. He usually comes with people he travels with, and leaves with people he travels with. To be honest, I don't dare to say anything just for a few days."

"What about the people he was traveling with?"

"Most of them are from respectable families. I heard that the family traditions of the Marquis' Mansion are quite strict."

"Oh, yes. Rumor has it that the prince was not like this before. He fell seriously ill three years ago. After recovering a year later, he began to slack off from his job."

three years ago?

What is the general plot like in online novels regarding the situation involving the Prince of Pingning?

Got pierced? Broken heart? Disabled?

Yueying suddenly felt that the marriage between this Marquisate and herself might not really be for the sake of coveting the Yan family's martial arts, and the problem might be with this prince.

"Go check if the prince has any childhood sweethearts, and spend some money to ask the palace doctor or the doctors who have treated the patients in the Marquis' Mansion to find out if the prince has any hidden illness."

"Hidden illness?"

"Is it hard to understand? No matter how poor his family is, it is not the turn of a defeated commoner family like mine to come all the way to propose marriage."

"My subordinates will do it now."

An Yi lowered her head to hide her smile. The leader of the alliance really could not be compared with ordinary women. Even if they were traveling in the martial arts world, there were very few women who thought of men in this way.

After a day's rest, Yueying went to a teahouse and then strolled around the largest brothel. She went to stay at a relative's house the next day.

It is the family of Yan Yueying's grandfather's elder brother. The current head of the family is a Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. Although his rank is not high, purchasing is a lucrative position no matter which world he goes to.

It is said that this position was obtained because there was a favorite concubine in the family.

When Yueying entered the mansion, she found that the whole family was staring at her like a monkey.

They looked down on these poor relatives from other places, and Yueying looked down on them too.

In this martial world, except for the guards, everyone in this family, from the old lady to the maids and servants, has no fighting power. They are indeed pampered.

"Old lady."

Although she didn't like it, Yueying still knelt down and bowed.

"Hey, come here, let me see, what a lovely girl."

Yueying quickly stood up, walked over, took the old lady's hand, and smiled sweetly.

"Yanran is the same age as you, but seems to be a few months younger. These days, let Yanran take you out to meet the sisters in the capital."

The old lady had a son and a daughter. Her daughter married a Jinshi and was sent to work as a minor local official. Her son was uneducated and useless.

The old lady's strength lies in the fact that she paid great attention to the education of her illegitimate son. He passed the imperial examination and won the third place in the imperial examination. In addition, her eldest granddaughter entered the palace three years ago and was favored. She managed to build up the unknown little family.

Among my grandchildren now, one has won the top spot in the imperial examination, one is a newly-appointed Jinshi, and another is preparing for the exam in a private school. It is said that his achievements have also been recognized by the teachers.

In the Beijing circle, the Zhan family is indeed not as good as the best but better than the worst.

The Yanran that the old lady mentioned was none other than the daughter of the old lady's illegitimate son. Because her father was a minor official and her cousin was a favorite concubine, the relationship between the sisters had always been good. She also had some status in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

"Grandma, please buy some decent clothes for my sister first."

Yanran came over with a smile and pulled up Yueying's sleeve, her voice clear but harsh.
