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

Chapter 167 The Vicious Young Lady of a Noble Family (3 pages)

Qi Ning turned her head and looked over.

Behind Dongxue, several maids were carrying clothes made almost entirely of red fabric. In addition, seemingly in case Qi Ning was not satisfied, they also prepared purple and green ones.

"Miss, how about this cherry red outfit?" Dongxue asked, pointing to one of the outfits.

She observed Qi Ning's expression, fearing that Qi Ning would be dissatisfied.

Today is a joyous day, with the new bride entering the house. She should at least dress in a festive manner.

Qi Ning's gaze lingered on the clothes, but she did not make a choice immediately.

Morning is when a person's mind is clearest. At this moment, Qi Ning's mind is rapidly reviewing all the plots and hidden content of this world.

It has to be said that Zeng Wanqing was the luckiest and happiest person in the original world.

Her early marriages were unsuccessful because she was destined to meet Qi Congming later.

Her life changed after she married Qi Congming.

Although she encountered many setbacks and hardships after marrying into the Marquis's family, she overcame them one by one with her efforts and Qi Congming's help.

Finally, she had a loving marriage, two children, and a prestigious status; in short, she had everything she could want.

That's normal, after all, Zeng Wanqing is the female protagonist of this world. She has the original author's favoritism and has been given the female protagonist's halo.

Similarly, Qi Congming also possesses the aura of a male protagonist.

In comparison, Qi Congming's first wife was truly innocent and pitiful.

She did nothing wrong, yet she died an unexplained death, without even seeing her husband one last time.

She risked her life to give birth to two daughters. The elder daughter died tragically, while the younger daughter managed to live a relatively good life, but she had a deep bond with her husband's second wife.

Qi Tang is still young and has never met her biological mother since birth. Qi Ning does not intend to interfere with her relationship with Zeng Wanqing, nor does she intend to let her live in hatred.

Perhaps, Qi Tang's well-being is the shared hope of both the original owner and her mother.

But Qi Ning is different.

Qi Ning knew everything. She couldn't treat Zeng Wanqing as her own mother, nor could she pretend to be a loving mother with her.

With two daughters, surely one of them will side with their biological mother.

Otherwise, it would be too cruel to the original owner's mother.

In any case, the original owner's first task was simply to make amends to Zeng Wanqing out of guilt, and did not require Qi Ning and Zeng Wanqing to establish a deep mother-daughter relationship.

As long as Qi Ning doesn't make things difficult for Zeng Wanqing or trip her up, and provides her with help when it's crucial and necessary, she'll have completed her first task.

"girl?"

Seeing Qi Ning staring at the clothes in a daze, Dongxue whispered a reminder.

Qi Ning then pointed to the light pink outfit next to her: "That one will do."

She couldn't make things difficult for Zeng Wanqing, nor did she need to show too much enthusiasm.

Light pink isn't exactly festive, but it's somewhat related to red.

"Yes."

Dongxue had someone leave the light pink dress behind and put the rest away, then helped Qi Ning change her clothes.

Qi Ning went out wearing that dress and then went to Qi Tang's bedroom.

When she arrived, Qi Tang was indeed still in bed.

When Qi Tang's maid, Dong Liu, saw Qi Ning arrive, she rushed forward as if she had seen a savior: "Second Miss, you've finally arrived! Third Miss hasn't gotten up yet, please go and see her."

"Ah."

Qi Ning responded and entered Qi Tang's inner room.

"Tang'er."

She reached out and gently pinched Qi Tang's little face: "Tang'er, it's time to get up."

Qi Tang opened her eyes groggily and immediately saw Qi Ning sitting by her bedside.

"Sister..." she mumbled.

"It's time to get up. We still need to go to Grandmother's yard to see that new mother, don't you remember?"

"Tang'er remembers."

Qi Tang rubbed her eyes and struggled to her feet.

Seeing this, Dongliu hurried over to serve her. She helped Qitang get up and helped her wash and dress, while Qining sat aside watching and waiting.

Once Qi Tang finished washing up, she felt refreshed. While changing her clothes, she fussed and said, "Sister, Tang'er wants to wear the same clothes as you."

"Sure, of course."

Qi Ning readily agreed and had Dong Liu change Qi Tang into a light pink dress as well.

After the two sisters finished getting ready, they headed to the old lady's Fushou Hall.

On their way to Fushou Hall, the group suddenly encountered two men walking towards them.

One of them followed closely behind the other, and he looked like a servant.

The man walking in front was dressed in a blue robe. He had a handsome face with well-defined features, and his brows hinted at an elusive air of nobility, as if it were an innate quality.

But this elegance is not ostentatious; instead, it gives people a sense of restraint and low-keyness, as if unwilling to attract too much attention.

At first glance, the man looked like a noble young master, but upon closer inspection, one could notice something unusual about the way he walked.

His steps were extremely slow, and he had a slight limp as he walked. Although the difference was not very obvious, a careful person could still notice it.

"Miss, it's the second young master."

Dongyue whispered a reminder from the side.

Qi Ning nodded slightly.

Actually, she could guess without being reminded that this was Qi Jingyu, the man she was trying to win over.

Qi Jingyu's leg ailment was publicly stated to be congenital, but in reality, he was injured during his escape, which damaged his tendons and veins, resulting in his condition.

Because of his leg ailment and his status, Qi Jingyu rarely appears in crowded places. Yesterday's wedding banquet was crowded and noisy, so he made an excuse not to go out.

He appeared this morning probably because there weren't many people going to Fushoutang today, and there weren't many outsiders.

After all, he was nominally Qi Congming's illegitimate son, so naturally he had to go and acknowledge his new mother.

Therefore, this was the first time Qi Ning had seen Qi Jingyu since she transmigrated.

Qi Ning and her group discovered Qi Jingyu and his servant, and the two of them naturally also discovered Qi Ning and her group.

Xiuzhu, the servant who was attending to Qi Jingyu, whispered, "Young Master, the Second Miss and the others are ahead."

Qi Jingyu did not respond and continued walking forward slowly on his own.

Xiuzhu lowered his head and thought to himself, "Just now, the second young lady seemed to be looking at the second young master's legs. She's probably laughing at him in her heart again."

Qi Ning looked Qi Jingyu up and down before looking away.

Qi Jingyu walked far too slowly. Qi Ning led Qi Tang to the intersection, quickly turned the corner, and walked away arrogantly with her chin held high without saying a word to them.

This infuriated Xiuzhu. He was filled with resentment. Although his young master was only a son born out of wedlock in the Marquis of Changping's mansion, he was still the second young lady's brother. The second young lady's attitude towards him was worse than that towards a servant.

He couldn't help but say, "Young Master, this Second Miss is far too arrogant..."

Qi Jingyu glanced at Xiuzhu with a slightly cool look, and immediately stopped himself from saying anything more.

Xiuzhu reached out and slapped his mouth: "This servant has spoken too much."

Qi Jingyu ignored him and continued walking slowly forward.

Xiuzhu followed behind Qi Jingyu, silently reflecting on his actions. He had really gotten a bit cocky lately. Because the Marquis had returned, he thought the Marquis would definitely stand up for his young master, and his courage had grown.

In the past, when Xiuzhu encountered the Second Miss, he would have preferred her to ignore them. Otherwise, the Second Miss would have inevitably come up to insult them or make sarcastic remarks.

I just hope the Marquis can stand up for the Second Young Master...

When Qi Ning brought Qi Tang to Fushou Hall, most of the masters in the mansion had already arrived.

The two sisters first bowed and greeted the old lady, and then sat down to the side.

Not long after, Qi Jingyu and his servant arrived.

Qi Jingyu had always had a very low profile in the Marquis's mansion, and even the old lady didn't like him much. After bowing, he found a seat and sat down.

After everyone had arrived, Qi Congming and Zeng Wanqing, the newlywed couple, appeared at the entrance of Fushou Hall.

After the couple entered, they offered tea to the old lady, bowed to the first wife, and accepted the gifts they received, thus completing the task.

The next part of the ceremony involved Qi Congming's three children serving tea to Zeng Wanqing.

Zeng Wanqing glanced at them with some worry. She was afraid that Qi Congming and the other children would not give her face, after all, she came from a humble background and was not much older than them.

Qi Congming wasn't worried about Qi Jingyu; he was worried that Qi Ning wouldn't cooperate. If Qi Ning didn't cooperate, then his youngest daughter would also follow suit.

But the result was somewhat unexpected. All three children politely offered tea and addressed their mother in a lukewarm manner.

Although they weren't very close, he didn't embarrass Zeng Wanqing, which made Zeng Wanqing feel somewhat flattered.

Not only were Qi Congming and Zeng Wanqing surprised, but the eldest son and his mother also found it strange.

Especially Qi Yuan, when she said those things to Qi Ning yesterday, she seemed to have listened to them, so why is she not acting strangely at all today?

She thought that Qi Ning would at least do something to embarrass Zeng Wanqing, her stepmother.

The First Madam and Qi Yuan exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

After the ceremony, the family had breakfast with the old lady, and then Qi Congming and his wife went to the ancestral hall, while the others returned to their respective courtyards.

On their way back, Qi Ning and Qi Tang were stopped by Qi Jinglin and Qi Yuan, a brother and sister.

"Second sister, third sister, are you in such a hurry to go back?" Qi Yuan asked.

Qi Jinglin stepped forward and patted Qi Tang's head affectionately: "Third sister, would you like to go for a walk in the garden with your eldest brother?"

Qi Ning smiled slightly: "Elder brother and sister, Tang'er got up early today and has been feeling sleepy. She just wants to go back and rest. She probably doesn't want to go for a stroll in the garden."

Qi Jinglin and Qi Yuan were just making up an excuse; they hadn't come to visit the Qi Ning sisters in the first place, so they didn't care about being rejected.

"That's right."

Qi Jinglin withdrew his hand and gave Qi Yuan a look.

Qi Yuan quickly moved closer to Qi Ning and said, "Second sister, your attitude towards your new second aunt was quite good today. It's surprising. I thought..."

"What did you think?" Qi Ning asked.
