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

Qi Tang tilted her little face up and said as if to take credit, "Today is Grandmother's birthday. I remember everything my older sister said. We are going to wish Grandmother a happy birthday, and we can't be late."

Qi Ning smiled: "Tang'er is so good, let's go then."

She took Qi Tang and went straight to the old lady's Fushou Hall.

Upon entering, Qi Ning saw Qi Yuan, who was also dressed in a light green dress. She secretly smiled and went to greet the old lady first.

Qi Yuan naturally spotted Qi Ning at a glance.

Qi Yuan noticed that Qi Ning's clothes were almost identical to the ones she was wearing today, with the same color and only slight differences in the embroidery. Qi Yuan frowned slightly.

After Qi Ning finished paying her respects to the old lady and went to sit down, Qi Yuan went over to her.

"Second sister, what a coincidence! You're wearing the same color dress as me."

Qi Ning took Qi Yuan's hand and said with a smile, "It's clear that my elder sister and I are on the same wavelength. This way, others can tell at a glance that we are sisters and how good our sisterly relationship is."

"What my second sister says is absolutely right."

Qi Yuan gave a stiff, forced smile.

After Qi Ning said that, she couldn't find a suitable reason to change her clothes. If she did, wouldn't it seem like she cared too much? That would be inappropriate.

By this time, guests had begun to arrive one after another. Qi Congming was receiving the male guests in the outer courtyard, while the First Madam and Zeng Wanqing were in the inner courtyard accompanying the Old Madam to receive the female guests.

Qi Yuan also wanted to try other methods, such as accidentally spilling tea on herself, so that she would have a legitimate reason to change her clothes.

But for some reason today, Qi Ning was unusually clingy to her, and she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to make a move.

Seeing Qi Ning following her closely and talking to her affectionately, Qi Yuan couldn't help but say, "Second sister is a little different today."

"Oh? What's so special about it?" Qi Ning asked, looking puzzled.

Qi Yuan said, "It's been a long time since my second sister has clung to me like this, chatting and laughing with me. Usually, you're with my third sister in this situation."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning's smile faded, replaced by a hint of worry: "It's better if you don't mention it, elder sister, because it makes me a little angry."

"how do I say this?"

Qi Ning lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, "Ever since Zeng entered the family, she has tried every means to get close to Tang'er, using those novelties to coax her. I saw that Tang'er was happy, and I couldn't bear to stop her."

“Look.” Qi Ning gestured for Qi Yuan to look at Zeng Wanqing. “Just now, Tang’er came with me, and not long after, she ran to Zeng’s side again.”

Qi Yuan followed Qi Ning's gaze and saw Qi Tang standing next to Zeng Wanqing, who was giving Qi Tang pastries.

The guests nearby praised Zeng Wanqing, the new daughter-in-law, for being virtuous and treating the children as her own, saying that they looked just like a real mother and daughter.

The old lady was initially dissatisfied with Zeng Wanqing's status and age, feeling that she was not good enough for her son.

Seeing how well Zeng Wanqing treated her grandchildren, the old lady was quite satisfied with this and, unusually, praised her a few times in front of outsiders.

Zeng Wanqing spoke modestly, but she was actually overjoyed, her face beaming with smiles.

On the contrary, the First Madam's smile seemed somewhat forced.

Upon seeing this scene, Qi Yuan's attention was instantly diverted by Qi Ning, and she habitually began to apply eye drops.

"Second sister is right. Look at that Zeng family, her methods are indeed not simple. She has only been in the house for a short time, but she has already deceived third sister. Everyone else is full of praise for her, and even grandmother praised her for being sensible."

“Now that your third sister is so attached to her, she’s even distancing herself from you, her own sister. You’d better be wary of her and watch out for her trying to sow discord between you and your third sister.”

Qi Ning nodded repeatedly: "What elder sister said makes sense. So what do you think we should do?"

Once Qi Yuan and Qi Ning started talking about this topic, they couldn't stop until the birthday banquet was about to begin, at which point they stopped and went to the women's section to take their seats.

Only then did Qi Yuan remember about changing her clothes.

She thought about it and realized that wearing similar clothes wasn't a big deal. In Qi Ning's words, it would show that they were very close sisters.

Then, when she pushes her into the lake later, it will make her seem even more innocent. After all, who would deliberately push their sister, with whom they share a deep sisterly bond, into the water?

As a result, Qi Yuan put aside the matter of changing clothes and began to intentionally or unintentionally urge Qi Ning to drink.

She poured Qi Ning a glass of wine and said, "Second sister, this is a freshly brewed fruit wine from the kitchen. It won't make you drunk. Try it."

Qi Ning picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and praised, "It's sweet and sour, not bitter at all, really delicious."

"If it tastes good, drink more. You won't get drunk anyway."

"Elder sister, you should drink more too."

Qi Yuan readily agreed: "Okay."

Midway through the banquet, the First Madam, who was sitting at another table, turned around and winked at Qi Yuan, signaling that the time was almost right.

Qi Yuan then pulled Qi Ning and said, "Second sister, I drank too much fruit wine and feel a little dizzy. If Mother finds out, she will definitely punish me. Why don't you come with me for a walk over there and relax?"

Qi Ning nodded slightly: "Perfect, I'm feeling a bit dizzy too."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan was even more pleased.

She laughed and said, "Then let's leave quietly, without letting Mother and the others find out."

As they spoke, the two sisters secretly left their seats, each accompanied by only one personal maidservant.

Qi Yuan led Qi Ning towards the lake.

Upon arriving at the lake, Qi Yuan instructed Qi Ning to walk on the inner side, closer to the water, while she walked on the outer side.

Two maids followed behind them at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

"I thought fruit wine wouldn't make you drunk, but I didn't expect that drinking too much of it could make you dizzy."

As Qi Yuan spoke, she led Qi Ning forward.

Du Yaowu hid in a pavilion in front of him. There were bamboo trees planted around the pavilion, which helped him conceal himself.

Qi Ning responded in agreement, "Yes, it seems we still can't overindulge in alcohol. Luckily, I'm just a little dizzy. We'll be fine after a walk."

The two sisters chatted back and forth.

At this moment, the system suddenly appeared: "Host, Qi Jingyu is in the waterside pavilion across the lake."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning glanced at the waterside pavilion across the lake out of the corner of his eye.

Qi Jingyu usually doesn't appear in crowded places, but today is the old lady's birthday banquet, and it would be inappropriate for him, as her grandson, not to show up.

Therefore, he only went to offer his birthday wishes and then made an excuse to avoid the event.

At this moment, he is enjoying some peace and quiet in the waterside pavilion with Xiuzhu.

Looking out from the half-open window of the waterside pavilion, one can see exactly what's happening on the other side of the lake.

"Qi Jingyu has already seen you. If you make a move later, he will probably see it." The system reminded you.

Qi Ning smiled and said, "It's alright, let him see it then."
