Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Alas, I really don’t want the whole Marquis’ Mansion to be in chaos because of what happened between me and Situ Xuan.

I comforted Ji Feng and secretly decided to lobby for him and ask Situ Xuan for mercy. However, at this moment, I was afraid that Situ Xuan would not listen and I had to wait for a suitable opportunity.

It was a while after returning to Suxin Pavilion that the magpie came back from outside.

Just now, in order to talk to Jifeng alone, I asked Dujuan to find me some jewelry and a handkerchief. As a result, when I came back from the garden, she was later than me.

She looked lonely, as if she was worried about something.

I thought she was still worried about what happened between me and Situ Xuan, so I called her over and tried to comfort her a few more times, but she didn't really listen and instead looked like she was worried about something.

"Magpie, are you worried about something? Why don't you just tell me and see if I can help you."

"No! Don't worry, ma'am, I'm fine!" She quickly cheered up and explained with a dry laugh.

So I didn't ask any more questions.

After she left, Dujuan came in to help me pack my things, and then she cautiously told me, "Madam, Sister Xi Que is actually worried about Ji Feng. She is afraid that Ji Feng will be driven out of the mansion by the Marquis."

"She and Ji Feng?" I immediately smelled gossip.

Du Juan took a look outside before continuing to tell me, "Ji Feng is an honest person. When he was in front of the Marquis, he never put on airs in front of us. This time he was punished because of the Madam's matter, and Sister Xi Que was very worried. She even secretly went to ask the housekeeper to see if it could be turned around. Now Ji Feng has been punished again, so Sister Xi Que is a little scared. If Ji Feng is kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion, they will never see him again..."

"How long have they been together?" I asked directly.

Du Juan was startled and waved her hands quickly, "Madam, please don't misunderstand. Sister Xi Que has never had any secret dealings with other men. She just has a crush on Ji Feng. I said these words to Madam on my own. If there is a chance in the future, it would be a good thing if Madam could bring them together. Unfortunately, Ji Feng is being punished now. I don't know what the Marquis thinks."

I nodded. "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame them. Free love is a good thing, and it's not a private transaction. I will think of a way to deal with Jifeng's matter. You don't have to explain it too clearly to Xi Que. Just enlighten her from the side. If you like someone, just say it boldly. There's nothing to be shy about."

Du Juan then smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Madam on behalf of Sister Xi Que."

After the maid left, I started to think about what I should do next.

In the past, I only thought about how to free myself, but I didn’t think about the people around me. Although they were Yu Jinyao’s maids, I occupied Yu Jinyao’s body and enjoyed everything she had, so I should also shoulder the responsibilities as her master.

Even if one day I leave the Marquis' Mansion, those who have been loyal to me should not be let down.

The next day I found an opportunity to go to the first lady Liu's place, chatted with her, and proposed my plan to find a home for my maid.

She was a little surprised. Most families would plan to send out their maids after they turned 20. However, I had only been married into the Marquis's Mansion for a year, and I was already thinking about sending out the capable people around me. This inevitably made her think too much.

I quickly explained, "I'm not in a hurry right now, I just want to think about it in advance. I don't have much experience in this kind of thing, so I came to ask my sister-in-law."

Liu then put aside her suspicion and told me everything in detail. It was nothing more than adding makeup to the maid and arranging a marriage for the servant. There weren't many details to pay attention to, but for me, it was still a bit dizzy and I wanted to take out a pen to take notes.
