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

Qi Ning didn't care about the reactions of the people on Lingshan; what she cared about at that moment was the medicine for Qi Jingyu's leg ailment.

On the second day after returning to the Marquis's residence, Qi Ning instructed Dong Yue to arrange for a reliable person to take the prescription and get the medicine.

However, the prescription contained several rare medicinal herbs that were not available for purchase at the time.

Even after Dongxue and Xiuzhu returned from Lingshan, they still hadn't bought all the medicinal herbs.

As soon as Dongxue returned, she hugged Qi Ning's leg and cried nonstop.

"Miss, thank goodness you're alright, I was almost scared to death."

Qi Ning knew that the fall from the cliff must have frightened Dong Xue, so she patted her arm and said, "Why are you crying? I'm fine, aren't I?"

"But the girl has a bruise on her forehead..."

"It's just a bruise, it'll fade in a few days."

As the master and servant were talking, Dongyue suddenly entered, carrying several packets of medicinal herbs.

"Miss, all the medicinal herbs have been purchased."

"Really? Let me see it."

Dongyue placed the medicinal herbs on the table in front of Qi Ning.

Qi Ning got up, opened a packet of medicinal herbs, and examined it carefully.

Dongyue, standing to the side, asked, "Miss, should these medicinal herbs be sent directly to the Second Young Master?"

"Do not."

Qi Ning shook her head and said, "There aren't many servants in Yinqing Pavilion, and Xiuzhu doesn't seem very reliable. Anyway, we're brewing medicine in our courtyard, so let's brew it together and then send the medicine to him."

Although Qi Ning was not seriously injured, the doctor prescribed some medicine to calm her mind and replenish her qi and blood.

"Yes, I understand," Dongyue replied quickly.

"Then Dongyue, go and prepare the medicine. Dongxue, you've been frightened these past few days. Go back and rest for a couple of days, and then you can go back to work."

The two maids responded in unison and went out together.

Dongxue, still confused about what was happening, pulled Dongyue aside and asked, "Sister Dongyue, why is the young lady making medicine for the second young master? Doesn't she always dislike him?"

“That was before,” Dongyue said. “This time, the young lady and the second young master fell off the cliff together. The second young master took great care of the young lady, and the relationship between the two siblings has improved a lot since they came back.”

"So that's it..."

After Dongyue finished decocting the medicine, she brought both portions of the medicine to Qi Ning.

"Miss, your and the second young master's medicines are ready. Shall I have someone send them over?"

Qi Ning smiled slightly and replied, "No need, I'll deliver it myself later."

She drank her own medicine first, then handed the bowl to Dongyue.

"Go and get a food box," Qi Ning instructed.

"Yes, this servant will go and get it right away."

While Dongyue was getting the food box, Qi Ning put a pill provided by the system into Qi Jingyu's bowl of medicine. After drinking it for a while, Qi Jingyu's leg ailment would be cured.

The pills quickly melted in the boiling hot medicine.

At this moment, Dongyue returned with the food box and put the bowl of medicine into it.

"Let's go to Yinqing Pavilion."

Qi Ning stood up and said.

Dongyue carried the medicine and followed behind Qi Ning.

It's actually quite a distance from Qi Ning's Qiyun Pavilion to Qi Jingyu's Yinqing Pavilion.

But Qi Ning discovered that instead of taking the main road through the garden, there was a small path behind the bamboo grove that was actually very close.

She led Dongyue directly through the side path and into the courtyard of Yinqing Pavilion.

This was Qi Ning's first time visiting Yinqing Pavilion. The location of this courtyard was quite remote within the Marquis's residence, and there were hardly any servants. It was completely quiet inside.

Qi Ning led Dong Yue inside, but they didn't see any servants in the courtyard, so naturally no one noticed them or informed anyone.

Guided by the system, Qi Ning learned that Qi Jingyu was in the study, so she went directly there.

The study door was half-open. Qi Ning looked over and saw Qi Jingyu practicing calligraphy at his desk, with Xiu Zhu standing beside him grinding ink for him.

As Qi Jingyu finished writing a character and was about to dip his brush in ink, he caught a glimpse of a figure outside the door.

He looked up and saw that it was Qi Ning.

"Second sister, what brings you here?" Qi Jingyu quickly stood up.

Qi Ning had never been to his courtyard before, so Qi Jingyu was naturally a little surprised.

Qi Ning snorted: "I've been standing here for ages, and you're only just noticing."

"It's my fault. There are few people in this courtyard, and no one informed us," Qi Jingyu said. "Second sister, please come in and sit down."

Upon seeing this, Xiuzhu quickly went to move a chair.

Qi Ning didn't stand on ceremony with him and took Dongyue inside directly.

She glanced at the chair that Xiuzhu had moved, but didn't sit down.

"I won't sit down."

As Qi Ning spoke, he gestured for Dong Yue to bring out the medicine and place it on Qi Jingyu's desk.

The bowl of medicine was still steaming.

Qi Jingyu glanced at it and asked, "What's this?"

"This is the medicine prescribed by that old doctor. Some of the herbs were quite hard to find, and I only managed to get them all today. I happened to be decocting medicine in my yard, so I decocted it all together and brought it over to you," Qi Ning explained.

"Did you come here today specifically to bring me my herbal medicine?"

“That’s right,” Qi Ning replied frankly, seemingly not finding anything wrong with it.

Qi Jingyu knew that the old doctor had prescribed him a month's worth of medicine, so it was impossible for him to only have this one bowl of soup. However, Qi Ning only brought over a bowl of prepared soup, without any medicinal herbs.

He was somewhat puzzled: "Why don't you bring the medicinal herbs over and let Xiuzhu decoct them? That way you won't have to make a special trip."

Qi Ning frowned slightly: "You don't even have many servants in your courtyard, not even a maid. How can Xiuzhu manage? Moreover, this medicine is very sensitive to the heat. Someone has to keep a close eye on it at all times, otherwise it will affect the efficacy."

"How about this, either I'll have someone arrange a few maids to serve you in your courtyard, or I'll have someone prepare the herbal medicine and send it to you. You can choose."

Qi Jingyu barely hesitated: "Then I'll trouble my second sister to cook it for me. I prefer quiet and don't like having too many maids serving me in the courtyard."

Actually, his preference for quiet was only one reason; another reason, of course, was Qi Jingyu's identity.

The more people serving you, the greater the risk of your identity being exposed. You have to be on high alert at all times, so it's better to have fewer people around.

Qi Ning was satisfied with Qi Jingyu's choice. She nodded, as if she had only come to deliver the medicine and would leave afterward.

She said quite readily, "That's good then. The medicine is still warm, so drink it while it's hot. I'll be going now, no need to see me off."

"Okay," Qi Jingyu replied.

After giving his instructions, Qi Ning led Dongyue out of the study.

Qi Jingyu looked at the bowl of medicine on the desk, a smile appearing in his eyes.

He picked up the bowl, intending to drink it all in one gulp, but Xiuzhu suddenly called out to him.

"Young Master, wait!"

"What's wrong?" Qi Jingyu paused.

Xiuzhu took the bowl of medicine from Qi Jingyu's hands and placed it on the desk.

"Young Master, the Second Miss used to hate you to the core, but recently her attitude towards you has inexplicably changed. Now she's even personally brewing medicine for you. Don't you find that strange?"
