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

Not only did Qi Jingyu in the pavilion across the lake see them, but Du Yaowu in the pavilion in front also saw two beautiful young women in willow-green dresses walking in his direction through the sparse bamboo grove.

As Du Rong's nephew, Du Yaowu had visited the Marquis of Changping's residence several times before and had also met Qi Ning several times.

He had long thought that his aunt's niece was extremely beautiful, but she was still too young before.

But when they met again, he found that the girl, who had just turned fifteen, had grown even more beautiful and had become even more lovely, so much so that he couldn't help but praise her.

The First Lady, Du Rong, was able to marry the previous Marquis of Changping, Qi Congyue, so her family background must have been quite good.

Du Rong's father was the Earl of Changyi. Although the Earl of Changyi's family was not as prestigious as the Marquis of Changping's family, the two families were still considered a good match.

In recent years, the Changyi Earl's Mansion has become increasingly impoverished. Qi Congyue, the son-in-law of the Changyi Earl, lost his life and his title was given to Qi Congming by the enraged Emperor after he suffered a defeat in battle on the frontier.

The Changyi Earl's Mansion is declining year by year, and Du Yaowu has two older brothers, so the title will definitely not be passed on to him.

Since ancient times, women have always been expected to marry into higher social classes. Given his status, he was naturally not a good match for Qi Ning, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changping.

But some time ago, his aunt sent him a message asking if he wanted to fall in love with Qi Ning and marry her. She said that if he wanted to strengthen their family ties, she could help him find a way.

Du Yaowu certainly wanted to.

So, following Du Rong's arrangement, he came to this pavilion today, waiting to go into the water and rescue the beauty, so that Qi Ning would have no choice but to marry him.

At this moment, Du Yaowu could hardly contain his excitement.

Qi Yuan glanced at the distance to the pavilion in front of her and thought it was about right, so she decided to make her move.

She raised her hand to her forehead: "Oh dear, I feel so dizzy, I can't stand up straight."

As she spoke, she leaned towards Qi Ning.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, Qi Ning turned to the side, wanting to inquire about her condition: "Elder sister, what's wrong..."

Qi Yuan didn't expect Qi Ning to suddenly turn to the side. She missed her target and instinctively tried to steady herself, but then she tripped over something.

Before Qi Ning could finish speaking, Qi Yuan let out a scream. She flailed her arms in terror, lost her balance, and fell into the lake with a splash.

"Sister!"

Qi Ning seemed to be in a panic, and the two maids behind her were also frightened when they saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Miss!"

"Go and call for help! Someone has fallen into the water!" Qi Ning shouted.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a figure appeared in the pavilion not far ahead, jumped into the lake, and swam quickly toward Qi Yuan, who was struggling in the water.

Du Yaowu looked at the figure in the water wearing a light green dress and called out, "Cousin, don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you," but in his heart he was overjoyed.

He only remembered that Qi Ning was wearing a light green dress today, and he knew that Qi Yuan would push Qi Ning into the water, so he subconsciously assumed that the person who fell into the water was Qi Ning.

Moreover, Qi Yuan was thrashing about in the water, her hair disheveled and obscuring her face, making it even harder to discern her features.

Du Yaowu quickly swam to Qi Yuan's side, grabbed her arm, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

Summer dresses are thin and, when wet, cling tightly to the body, revealing not only the woman's figure but also the undergarment underneath.

Qi Yuan was held in Du Yaowu's arms. The more she pushed him away, the tighter he held her. She could only gasp and say, "It wasn't me...it wasn't me..."

Du Yaowu sensed something was wrong, reached out and brushed the hair from Qi Yuan's face, only to realize that he had saved the wrong person.

For a moment, he stood frozen in the lake, holding the person.

The master and two servants on the shore seemed to be shocked by the sudden scene, and stood there for a moment not knowing what to do.

The lake wasn't far from the banquet area, and the sounds of splashing water and shouts could already be faintly heard over there.

While others were still somewhat confused, the First Madam smiled, thinking that Qi Yuan had succeeded, and immediately stood up.

The First Madam suppressed her upturned smile and put on a worried expression. She said to the Old Madam, "Mother, it seems someone has fallen into the water. Could it be some distinguished guest?"

The old lady was startled and quickly said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, quickly take a few more people to take a look."

These words were exactly what the First Madam wanted to hear. She responded and hurried over with her people.

Seeing the First Madam rushing away with her entourage, the old lady also stood up shakily: "Quick, help me, I want to go and see too."

This is, after all, the old lady's birthday banquet. It would be inappropriate if someone were to drown during her birthday celebration. If the person involved were one of today's distinguished guests, the Changping Marquis's mansion would be in even more trouble.

The other guests were filled with curiosity, wondering who would suddenly fall into the water. Since even the old lady was going to check on the situation, they naturally followed.

When the First Madam arrived at the lakeside first, she found that things were not quite as she had imagined. She immediately saw Qi Ning standing perfectly fine by the lake, and then looked at the woman who had fallen into the lake. It was none other than her daughter, Qi Yuan.

The First Madam's expression changed drastically.

What happened? How could this be?!

Shouldn't it be Qi Ning who fell into the water? How come it was Qi Yuan?

"Yuan'er! Yuan'er!"

When the First Madam ran to the shore, she saw Qi Yuan, whose clothes were soaked and who was embracing Du Yaowu. She felt her vision go black.

She quickly realized that this scene absolutely could not be seen by others, otherwise her daughter's reputation would be ruined!

The First Madam instructed the maids and servants behind her: "Quickly, go down and rescue the young lady, but don't let anyone see her!"

"Yes!"

The maids and servants responded in unison, and one after another, they jumped into the water to rescue the person like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

However, it was already too late.

At this moment, the old lady, Zeng Wanqing, and other guests who were following closely behind her arrived and saw the scene before them.

The crowd exchanged glances and whispered among themselves:

"Ah? This!"

"It seems that the one who fell into the water is Qi Yuan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion."

"The man she's embracing is the third young master of the Changyi Marquis's mansion!"

……

The maids and servants went into the water and pulled Qi Yuan away from Du Yaowu's arms, then struggled to push her ashore.

Qi Yuan was soaked to the bone, her clothes clinging tightly to her body, and she trembled as she hugged herself tightly.

The First Madam's expression at this moment was beyond ugly; she quickly stepped forward to hug Qi Yuan and shield her from view.

Qi Yuan buried herself in the First Madam's arms and began to sob.

The doctor shouted sternly at the servants, "Where's the cloak? Quickly bring the cloak over Yuan'er and put it on her!"

It was early summer, and the midday heat was intense. Who would carry a cloak with them?

After a while, a maid ran to the nearest courtyard to fetch a cloak, which the First Madam hurriedly draped over Qi Yuan's shoulders.

But by then it was too late; everyone present had already seen what they needed to see.

They witnessed with their own eyes that Qi Yuan, whose clothes were disheveled, had just been held in the arms of the third young master of the Changyi Marquis's mansion.
