Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Recently, two joyous events have occurred at the Changping Marquis's residence.

First, the Marquis of Changping, who had been stationed on the frontier for seven years, was summoned back to the capital and finally returned home.

Secondly, Marquis Qi Congming of Changping married a second wife.

On that day, the Changping Marquis's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the wedding procession brought the bride back to the mansion.

Qi Congming and his bride bowed to heaven and earth under the watchful eyes of the guests, officially becoming husband and wife.

As the final, joyous cry of "Send her to the bridal chamber" rang out, the bride was escorted to her new home.

Qi Ning, as Qi Congming's eldest daughter, watched the ceremony with her younger sister Qi Tang.

After the ceremony, the guests went to the banquet area to take their seats, and the hall was soon filled with people.

Just as Qi Ning was about to leave with Qi Tang, a voice called out from behind.

"Second sister."

It's the voice of Qi Yuan, the eldest daughter of the first wife.

Qi Ning turned around and called out, "Elder sister."

Qi Yuan walked over to Qi Ning and asked with concern, "Second sister, are you alright?"

"Elder sister is joking. What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Qi Yuan took Qi Ning's hand and patted it gently: "Second sister, I know you're sad, your elder sister understands."

"Second Uncle is really something. He went to the frontier for seven years and didn't even come back to see Second Aunt when she passed away seven years ago. Now that he's finally back, he's married a new Second Aunt. He doesn't care about you and Third Sister at all."

Qi Yuan spoke these words without any restraint in front of Qi Tang, who listened intently.

Qi Ning subtly withdrew her hand and patted Qi Tang's head.

“Eldest sister, please be careful with your words. Seven years ago, Father was ordered to go to the frontier to guard the border. After Mother passed away, how could Father not want to come back? However, he was bound by the Emperor's orders and could not return to the capital without being summoned. Moreover, the journey was long and arduous, so Father had no choice. After returning home, Father explained all these reasons to us sisters.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression stiffened slightly.

Qi Ning is easily provoked. Today, it was the First Madam who sent Qi Yuan to sow discord. Unexpectedly, Qi Congming had already explained this to the sisters.

"Second sister is right, I misspoke."

Qi Yuan's tone carried a hint of apology as she continued, "I was just standing up for my second and third sisters. Even if my second uncle couldn't come back seven years ago for various reasons, he's only been back in Beijing for a short time now, and he's already married a new second aunt so quickly. I imagine he'll be having younger siblings soon."

"Once your younger brother or sister is born, your second uncle will probably have even less time to take care of you sisters..."

Qi Ning didn't respond to those words; instead, she lowered her eyes slightly, pretending to be somewhat sad.

Seeing Qi Ning's expression, Qi Yuan felt relieved and realized that her words had worked.

She smiled and said, "But don't overthink it, Second Sister. Today is Second Uncle's wedding banquet, so let's go and take our seats first."

After saying that, Qi Yuan pulled the Qi Ning sisters together to the women's section to take their seats.

……

This mission world is an ancient Chinese domestic drama novel.

The story mainly revolves around Zeng Wanqing, the daughter of a minor official who couldn't find a husband, who unexpectedly marries the male protagonist Qi Congming as his second wife and eventually becomes the Duchess of the State.

Zeng Wanqing was the legitimate daughter of Zeng, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. She had originally been engaged to a good family and was to marry into the family when she turned seventeen.

Unfortunately, fate is unpredictable. On the eve of her wedding, her mother passed away, and Zeng Wanqing had to observe three years of mourning for her mother.

Three years later, when she was twenty, she was finally able to get married after her mourning period was over, but her fiancé told her that he had fallen in love with another woman and wanted to marry someone else.

The marriage agreement between the two families was thus called off.

Because of her advanced age, her subsequent attempts at marriage negotiations were not very successful, and she was dragged out her marriage until she was twenty-two years old.

Zeng Wanqing thus became the laughing stock of the entire capital, with everyone mocking her as an old maid who could never get married.

One night, Zeng Wanqing had just fallen asleep when an injured man in black, trying to escape capture, inadvertently broke into her boudoir.

Zeng Wanqing helped the man in black escape the search, and then she learned that the man in black she had saved was none other than Marquis Qi Congming of Changping, who had just returned to the capital some time ago.

Qi Congming later learned about Zeng Wanqing's identity and heard the rumors about her.

Because breaking into a woman's boudoir would be considered to have ruined her chastity, and because Zeng Wanqing had saved his life, Qi Congming proposed to marry her.

Of course, there was another hidden reason: Qi Congming hoped that by marrying Zeng Wanqing, he could make her keep the events of that night a secret.

Given Zeng Wanqing's status and age, it was clear that she was climbing the social ladder by marrying Marquis Changping as his principal wife, or even as his second wife. She was a smart woman, so she naturally agreed.

A month later, Zeng Wanqing married Qi Congming, who was ten years her senior.

Qi Congming had three children: his eldest son from a concubine, the seventeen-year-old second son Qi Jingyu; and his two daughters from his first wife, the fifteen-year-old second daughter Qi Ning and the seven-year-old third daughter Qi Tang.

At first, none of the three children liked their stepmother Zeng Wanqing. Qi Jingyu ignored her, Qi Ning disliked her, and Qi Tang was afraid of her.

Zeng Wanqing thought that now that she had married into the family, she must get along well with the three children.

Therefore, she chose to start with Qi Tang, the youngest of the group.

After some time, Qi Tang, who lacked maternal love, indeed accepted Zeng Wanqing and treated her almost like a real mother and daughter.

Qi Ning, who had been making things difficult for her at every turn, gradually lost her wariness and disgust when she saw how kind Zeng Wanqing was to her younger sister, and her attitude towards Zeng Wanqing changed.

As for Qi Jingyu, he was somewhat special. He was born to a concubine and was the only illegitimate son in the entire Changping Marquis's mansion. In addition, he had a leg ailment, making him very aloof, gloomy, and difficult to approach.

Zeng Wanqing gently tried to win him over, and even managed to treat Qi Jingyu's leg ailment, before finally succeeding.

Besides dealing with the issues of her three children, Zeng Wanqing also had to cultivate her relationship with her husband.

After all, Qi Congming married her out of necessity for various reasons, and he had no feelings for her. Instead, he always missed his first wife.

Zeng Wanqing was understanding, gentle and considerate in front of her husband, and treated his three children as her own. Naturally, Qi Congming gradually accepted her.

In addition, Zeng Wanqing also had to manage the relationships between her sisters-in-law, please the old lady, and take care of other trivial matters in her daily life.

Fortunately, after six months of marriage, thanks to her tireless efforts, everything began to move in a positive direction.

It was at this time that Zeng Wanqing became pregnant.

The news of her pregnancy made one person particularly wary: Qi Congming's eldest sister-in-law, the First Madam.

Back then, the eldest lord died on the battlefield after leading his troops to a defeat, suffering heavy losses, which enraged His Majesty.

Because of the eldest master's mistake and the fact that his only son was too young to go to the battlefield, His Majesty did not pass the title to the eldest master's son. Instead, his younger brother Qi Congming inherited the title, allowing him to atone for his brother's crime by performing meritorious service.

The First Madam, however, harbored a deep resentment about this. She always felt that Qi Congming had stolen her son's title, and she schemed by all means to reclaim it for her son.

Previously, Qi Congming only had one son, Qi Jingyu, who was a cripple.

However, after Zeng Wanqing became pregnant, the First Madam worried that Zeng Wanqing would give birth to a healthy male child to inherit the title.

In the past, the First Madam had often instigated Qi Ning to make things difficult for Zeng Wanqing, and this time, she used the same trick again.

The First Madam told Qi Ning that Zeng Wanqing was only kind to the sisters because she didn't have her own children. If Zeng Wanqing had given birth to her own child, and Qi Ning got married, Qi Tang would definitely be lonely and helpless in the Marquis's mansion.

For her sister's sake, the simple-minded Qi Ning was brainwashed again and attempted to give Zeng Wanqing an abortion drug, but she was too flustered and was discovered on the spot.

Zeng Wanqing couldn't understand why Qi Ning, who had softened her attitude towards her, would suddenly drug her. She planned to talk to her the next day, but Qi Ning hanged herself that very night.

Not long after, Zeng Wanqing realized from Qi Tang that there was more to the story. She sent someone to search Qi Ning's room and found a letter. Only then did she realize that everything was orchestrated by the eldest son's family.

Moreover, Qi Ning did not die by hanging himself, but was murdered by the eldest son's family to cover it up.

Zeng Wanqing used this opportunity to completely expose the true colors of the eldest son and his mother, eliminate this threat, and even wrest control of the household affairs from the eldest wife.

A few months later, Zeng Wanqing gave birth to a son, further solidifying her position.

Later, a sudden change occurred in the imperial court.

Zeng Wanqing then learned that Qi Jingyu was not Qi Congming's illegitimate son, but Qi Jingyu, the orphan of the former crown prince who was living in seclusion.

Qi Congming supported Qi Jingyu to ascend the throne.

Finally, Qi Congming was granted the title of Duke Zhenguo, while Zeng Wanqing became the Duchess of the State.

The story has come to a satisfactory conclusion.

……

In this story, Qi Ning is one of the female protagonist Zeng Wanqing's stepdaughters.

Judging from the original owner's actions, she can indeed be considered a vicious female supporting character. Not only did she make things difficult for Zeng Wanqing at every turn and trip her up, but she also tried to give her an abortion drug.

But the things she did were basically instigated by the first wife; that wasn't her true nature.

When the original owner was eight years old, her mother was about to give birth to her second child. Some time before the delivery, Qi Congming suddenly brought back a ten-year-old concubine from outside.

Not long after, Qi Congming was ordered to go to the frontier to guard the border.

The original owner's mother suffered a difficult childbirth and severe hemorrhage, which led to her death.

The original owner, who was eight years old, and her newborn sister could only be temporarily cared for by the old lady. However, the old lady was in poor health, so most of the time, besides the wet nurse, it was the eldest wife, who was also the aunt, who took care of the sisters.

Because of her title, the First Madam took the opportunity to brainwash the original owner, telling her that all of this was caused by that concubine's son, Qi Jingyu, and that if it weren't for Qi Jingyu, her mother wouldn't have died in childbirth from anger.

The young original owner believed her words and began to bully her half-brother in every way, unaware that she was being used by the first wife.

The First Madam's goal was simple: she wanted Qi Congming to have no suitable heir so that she could rightfully take back the title.

After Qi Congming married Zeng Wanqing, the First Madam and her son instigated the original owner of this body to deal with Zeng Wanqing...

Finally, the original owner realized her mistake and understood that she had been used. She wrote a detailed letter of apology and planned to have it delivered to Zeng Wanqing the next day.

However, before the letter could be delivered to Zeng Wanqing, she was smothered to death that very night by the First Madam's men, who then staged it as if she had hanged herself out of guilt.

After learning all this, Qi Ning felt that the original owner of the body was also a pitiful person.

She lost her mother at a young age, her father was not around, and she grew up in hatred. She did not develop a correct set of values ​​and was always used as a pawn by the First Madam.

Rather than saying the original owner was inherently malicious, it would be more accurate to say she was simple-minded, not very clever, and easily manipulated.

After the banquet, Qi Ning took Qi Tang back to the courtyard.

Qi Ning was still thinking about something when Qi Tang suddenly tugged at her hand.

"Sister..."

Qi Ning stopped and looked down at Qi Tang: "Tang'er, what's wrong?"

"Big sister, are the things my eldest sister said today true? Father married a new mother and had younger brothers and sisters. Does that mean he doesn't want us anymore?"
