Quick Wear: The Short-lived Female Supporting Character Does Not Want to Be a Heartthrob

So a few people went in, and Wan Ning looked at all the houses carefully.

I decided to clean up the front hall and side hall for receiving guests first, as well as the courtyard I had chosen. In addition, there was a ready-made servants' room, so Xiaoqiu and the others could move in.

Xiaoqiu is the girl Wan Ning met when he was having dinner at Mingyue Tower that day. Her real name is Xiaoqiu, and Wan Ning didn’t give her a new name, so just call her that.

As for Chunhua, she didn't want to leave her parents, so Wan Ning didn't force her. He didn't bring her with him when he went out today.

However, Wan Ning still asked Hao Lianxin's maid to help teach Xiao Qiu some rules. This girl was smart and understood everything she was told. She learned the rules very quickly. Half a day later, she came to serve Wan Ning.

After Wan Ning told Zhang Yan his request, he immediately went out to arrange it.

I stayed in the house until noon, when Ling Hao came to the door. He had just finished his shift.

Following him in came several guards carrying food boxes.

Wan Ning was standing in the front hall to receive him. Seeing his expression, he smiled and said, "Lord Ning, are you coming to my house to eat? I don't have any food on the stove."

During these few encounters, Ling Hao always acted gentle towards her. He was not at all like what outsiders said, the type with a gloomy face, smiling at everyone but actually not knowing what ruthless tricks he was planning.

That's why Wan Ning dared to joke with him and felt that this friend was a nice person.

Ling Hao strode forward: "I guess you haven't eaten yet, so I brought some food from outside."

Wan Ning nodded: "You came at the right time. You haven't eaten yet, right? Do you want to eat together?"

Ling Hao was of course willing. He had just come out of the palace gate and heard the report from his subordinates. He immediately sent someone to the restaurant to order food. When he came back, the food was ready.

Putting the food on the table, the two began to eat.

Wan Ning didn't need Ling Hao to take care of her this time, so she let Ling Hao eat well.

Seeing Wan Ning eating comfortably in front of him, Ling Hao felt happy. He felt that Wan Ning did not treat him as an outsider.

And Ling Hao seemed to have figured out her personality. She was the kind of person who looked soft but actually had her own opinions and bottom line. This kind of soft-hearted personality was quite interesting.

After lunch, Ling Hao left without staying for too long because he had official business to attend to.

Wan Ning rested for a while in the mansion, and waited until Zhang Yan came back, accompanied by a matchmaker and several maids and servants.

After asking carefully, Wan Ning first selected two servants, a maid, and two maids.

After paying the deposit, ask them to come back early the next morning because Wan Ning has to go back today.

After living in the villa for so many days, if she wanted to move out, she would have to say goodbye to her owner Hao Lianxin properly.

But on the way back, something unexpected happened.

The carriage was driving steadily and Wan Ning was dozing off when he heard the coachman yell "Ouch!"

Xiaoqiu hurriedly lifted the curtain. Before Wanning could go over to see what was going on outside, Xiaoqiu had already approached Wanning.

"Girl, something is wrong outside. Someone is robbing people."

As she spoke, she hugged Wan Ning's waist and rushed out.

"Xiao Qiu, you are too young."

Why was such a young girl hugging herself? Wan Ning felt that she could take action.

When Xiaoqiu put her arms around Wanning's waist and helped her safely jump off the carriage, Wanning changed her mind about Xiaoqiu.

Xiaoqiu caught the big knife in the hand of a man dressed in black and with his face covered with a mask with his bare hands, and pressed the man's arm down. With a bang, the big knife fell to the ground.

It was not until this time that Wan Ning looked around and found that there were more than a dozen men in black around him, all holding shining swords in their hands.

Wan Ning's heart beat faster in an instant. What was going on?

She was also checking the situation while avoiding any men in black who might be approaching.

At this time, a man in black dressed in tight clothes jumped out from the side, but he was not masked, and he started fighting with those masked men.

Wan Ning knew that this person was here to help them and was most likely Ling Hao's man.

Xiao Qiu kicked a masked man down, and quickly turned to Wan Ning and said, "Girl, go to the woods and find a place to hide first."

Wan Ning nodded: "Okay, be careful."

The section of road where their carriage stopped was uninhabited in front and behind, with farmland on the left and forests on the right.

Wan Ning lifted her skirt and walked to the right. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, she heard a voice saying "Oh no" from behind. It was Xiaoqiu's voice.

Wan Ning quickly turned his head back, and suddenly a large cloud of smoke appeared behind him, which was about to submerge everyone and make it impossible to see their figures.

In this situation, Wan Ning had to hide even more. She didn't care about the branches and weeds under her feet, and in her panic, one of her shoes fell off.

There were more sounds of fighting and wailing behind her. Wan Ning didn't know who was injured. She didn't have time to look back. Her heart was pounding fast and her mouth was very dry.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind beside his ears. Wan Ning realized something was wrong. He turned his head back and saw a cloud of white powder falling all over his head.

(Ah, poison!)

Wan Ning wailed in his heart and immediately turned back to cover his mouth and nose.

She couldn't let the black-clad man catch her, so she hurried forward. But in a split second, her eyes became blurry and she couldn't see the road or the objects in front of her. Suddenly, someone chopped her neck.

Wan Ning just felt that he was finished, it was terrible.

After a moment, she completely lost consciousness and fell headfirst. However, the man in black behind her caught Wan Ning in time and prevented her from falling face first.

Then the man in black picked up Wan Ning and put her on his shoulder. After whistling, he immediately turned in another direction.

A moment later, the men in black followed.

Soon the scene became quiet, and Ling Hao's black-clad guard slowly walked out of the smoke. Looking closely, there were several bloodstains on his body, but they were not obvious because of the black clothes.

He staggered over to Xiaoqiu and the coachman and fed them both a detoxification pill.

Xiaoqiu regained consciousness and shook her head for a while.

Before she was fully awake, the man in black ordered sternly: "Quick, ride back and tell the Marquis that I will chase those people."

Xiao Qiu immediately woke up and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Xiaoqiu picked up a knife dropped by the people on the ground, stepped forward and cut the connection between the carriage and the horse with force.

After jumping onto the horse's back, she slapped the horse with her hand, and the horse, feeling the pain, immediately ran away with her.

The black-clad guards had already left just now.

After they left, the fog gradually dissipated, but the groom on the ground was still unconscious. Looking closely, there was a cut on his chest and a lot of blood was flowing.

Not far from him, there were three or four men in black lying on the ground.
